Hey Mojo could i ask you for a brief run down of current info. Have not been paying attention to kblb forover a year but noticed its climbing lately whats up?
They spent 17m on a weather sensor for fighter jets to help keep them from icing. When they finally decided to end the funding 5 or 6 years later it was because it wasn't needed.
The military spends much of its R&D funds on things they will never use for defense
Over 5 million shares traded under 2 at that time. Lots of people were blessed. I always buy when this is under 3 and .03-.05 has pretty much always been safe. The pathetic volume of the last year has sucked but it appears that the stock wants to move again. I am always happy to double my money.
You should try it next time the pps drops to the 3s ...if that happens again
Is that what matters most?
I always thought the most important thing people invested for was a return on investment. I have seen that dozens of times.
I have come to the conclusion that if there is news it will be with Kings. Reason is the buying (if there is news) has to be insiders. I doubt anyone directly connected would take that risk but if M has a bunch of apparel to unveil his friends would be happy to use that knowledge to buy the stock.
It's the only logical thing my brain can make of the volume and price with no pump.
And yes...the pps increase tends to dry out the swamp and makes coming here a bit easier to deal with.
Hey DoD how is everything? How is the duck doing? Haven't talked to you in a long time
Most accurate doesn't mean up to date.
The shorts are reported every 2 weeks but they are also delayed.
Like the report for 4-28 is for shorts from 4-14 to 4-28 but some of those are over a month old and easily could have been covered or doubled by now
They would have needed to be short for over a year to make covering at .06 profitable. That's a long wait for a 20-30% gain.
My bet is insider knowledge leading to buying and/or covering at even money or a loss.
I would say it's a thing with Kings since I doubt any response from the government would be so rapid.
Pretty strange after pretty much a year at idling
The only reason to buy the shares for him is to help the company and/or make a profit. Buying on the open market doesn't really do either.
He can't really profit on a .06 share unless it goes to the .08
It's not like he can sell them without crashing it.
But if he is the one buying I would think it's because he knows something we don't. That would explain buying at market.
I am pretty sure this move will include news. I am just not sure if it will be .08 news or .40
I tend to think you are right. If this is event driven and last couple days are any indicator the day the news breaks will probably break that .14
Kinda shocked nobody has found anything to indicate a reason this move with no news.
Something must be coming or I don't think the recent move would have lasted more than a day.
Would love to see the .14 level to come back
I'm waiting for .031 again.
Hopefully it can get there before news again but the pps been pretty strong in the light of no news other than the last PR which wasn't the type to boost a share price.
Completely untrue.
The sale of 50 pounds of silk would make the PPS skyrocket. If it happened to be for medical use it would easily triple it's all time high.
It wouldn't stay there without further sales but it wouldn't be under 20 cents again
Why would they have a sale when their first client is a JV that they supply the silk for?
That would be like making a sale from Prodigy to Kraig labs.
Would hear nothing but complaints here from that.
That is great information but it neglected to ask the one question everyone asks. How much silk are they producing in a cycle. Or how much do they have.
I wish Kim would stop skirting around the issue. An answer would completely stabilize the share price.
You can downplay anything if you simply ignore all implications and focus on what something "could be" saying.
You think it would be better if someone could pocket 5 worms and start breeding our silk in China with the same attributes?
Generational locked tributes can't be stolen without the lab to produce them. Our contractors can't decide industrial theft can be more profitable.
JMO
I see this as adding a combination lock on our IP. It answers a security concern most have had since the beginning
Me?
I am not suffering but am I really the only one?
".i remember questioning using a new hybrid but it was said they would "transition" into the new hybrid...i assumed that if it didnt work, they would simply go back to the old worm"
If in the transition they did exactly what you say and they were hoping to use the large worms but went back to the small worms, wouldn't this be a logical reason they ended up with less silk than they hoped?
Yes.
All silkworms are this fragile.
Climate changes everything for a silkworm.
Sounds to me like the contractor had a higher fatality rate than expected or climate effects made more silk rejected than expected.
Its not a real issue for a first run of a vendor IMO.
cutting the cost of the shirt will defiantly help if you can convince a person looking for a silk shirt that a cotton 65% 35% silk blend is worth 3 times as much as the silk they wanted. But that blend would most likely be less tough than a 100% mundane silk shirt too so it kinda loses its appeal. But thats just my opinion
IMO that would not be accurate. That would be a 1:200 reverse on the votes. If you reverse the share you double the risks and rewards. A dividend would multiply and so would votes.
you said December and that's the answer. Buy on first day sell on last day and historically its a 50/50 shot
That is the type of exception i agree with. A lab produced protein can be made in the usa but not a silk fiber farm
Or you could simply Google it and see that the number is accurate
So far it's been 7 gains and 7 losses for the month of December since 2008
How would you rs voting share? 2 shares with 200 votes reversed at 1:2 would give him 1 share with 400k votes, wouldn't it?
Value neutral with the value being vote?
Because one is on a calender.
You know for a fact Christmas is coming in an exact period of time so "soon" is not accurate. "Christmas is coming in 20 days" is accurate.
Try this instead...
1. Spydasilk is coming soon.
2. Humans on Mars is coming soon.
Whats the difference.
OK and when I look at those things I see attempts that failed.
I don't see mistakes.
If you don't make it to the top of everest on your first try it isn't necessarily because of a mistake.
Same goes for the tenth try.
The list of obstacles that can thwart an attempt are endless.
But if you stop trying you will never make it.
Business is the same thing.
Covid is a great example.
That delay of 18 months was no mistake. It was just bad weather at the peak. No choice but to return to base camp and try again.
I see many failed attempts in the past here. I see mistakes as well.
But I don't see anyone (including you) quitting. They are at the peak and about to plant a flag.
Do you think we should all just go home and not see if they succeed this time?
Yup.
And 10x the cost makes silk well over $500k a ton.
$250 dollars a pound at a minimum.
$15 per ounce
Silk being 8-12 ounces per yard means
It 125 per yard minimum.
A typical men's shirt being about 2.5 yards means material cost for a shirt is
$300
So 2 questions would be , is that math right?
And is that price feasible?
Only thing for sure is a reduction in selling pressure from dilution
If we don't know about them how are you sure they were made?
If you did that you wouldn't be able to invest in any company. Every company to ever exist has failures in their past.
You have not explained what concept you want proven
JMO but the math is just backwards.
602 million is 58%
42% is owned by retail
Not arguing with what you think. I am simply stating the way things are.
If the Chinese start ww3 we will be paying 100x the amount for silk by making it here. Regardless of it use
"I was talking about genetic modification to make silkworms thrive on something other than mulberry leaves…"
Don't think any genetic lab in the world can do this yet.
"Well no one is going to makes $6k a month off of $7.25 per hour…"
Both were national averages. Which in the grand scheme of things means that the silk workers are not making an average wage.
Their specific wage is $110-165 a month
Seeing that minimum wage is about $1100 that would mean the 100x wage is exactly right.
These two things makes the rest of your response moot
What's it's saying is that with Kim's preferred plus the 42% owned by directors they do not have to hold votes for shareholders
There is always more left unsaid. If there wasnt we would have no need to invest since we would have known all, years ago.
But what specifically are you speaking of that would be important years after that water went under the bridge?
I would agree with that.
If they could get a worm to produce a protein without the fiber as a product that could be done in the usa
