Apparently investors don't understand what they invest in!?


That is correct for 90% of retail investors and probably closer to 99% of OTC traders.
Most OTC traders don't care what the company does as long as the people believe it.
I think the idea of producing silk is so simple a child can do it. They do in science classes every day. But making a silkworm spin and making a business based on a silkworm spinning is 2 different things.

As we are all well aware finding a suitable area is much harder than anyone expected. Go look back at my posts in 2010. I expected the impossible back then. Now I have some perspective from DD and I realize that if Kim (or any of the others) is in production this year they did an outstanding job of jumping all the hurdles.

Well...I don't think investors see the Company's product as anything else than an enhancement to a product that exist already, ie silk! So, from that stand point, investors don't understand why the Company keeps presenting new strains of the same product but cannot mass produce it???



So apparently you agree that most don't understand the product or company.
Because Dragonsilk is not a silk enhancement. It is a completely new fiber produced from a new species of worm.. It is an enhancement to Kevlar as well as silk if your statement is true.

Hard to understand that new strains of material keep poping out while the Company has difficulties getting the desired quality and consistency on the first strain in order to mass produce it?!


Not if you understand that they are not reliant on the eachother.
The production of a new strain is done in a lab. The production of masses is done on a farm.
The required things to make a new strain are in the hands of the company. The required things to produce masses are not in the companys hands yet.

This sends the message to investors that the Company is good at R&D but unable to produce (most companies that do that cease to exist eventually).


Actually only message board posters send that message to the investors.
To the few investors that understand the company it tells them that the company is very good at R&D and once the requirements are met to mass produce the pipeline will last decades

While investors should understand what they invest in, they cannot be blamed for being ignorant on everything the Company has to do to produce the product it developed. The Company is responsible to explain to the investors the steps that are required to produce the product it developed (it should have the knowledge of the hurdles and be able to communicate this to the investors to set the right expectations). This is something that was very poorly done by the Company and further damage was done by putting unrealistic timelines for comnercial production! It set false expectations, so the investor's understanding is not really what needs to be blamed...


I agree with most of this but as I stated nobody has ever done this before so while I wish Kim would keep timelines to himself and communicate better I can understand his over enthusiasm to get in production. It seems MUCH simpler than it is.
He was as in the dark when he started this. He is learning a lot I am sure. Next overseas location will not come with dates I will bet.
IMO we are 1 to 3 weeks from Sub approval. Just my WAG.
