Thanks, somehow this moved off my 1st page.
Thanks

I personally know most of the folks here, as in a fist bump or a handshake with conversation and funny from someone who claims to make logic-based decisions but only bases it on charts only and does not even look at the fundamentals of what a company is doing while publicly selling a service to others as to where folks should invest their money is sure suspect. Sorry but yes we are suspect, if we were not we’d be foolish. Understand that there are about 100 investors here most of whom I’ve meet that in fact ask questions of the company, many even set up investor dinners with them, many travel to national conferences have lunch, visit booths, watch demonstrations and speak with others in the industry, some even invest in private companies in the industry to understand it. Then they provide that due diligence amongst each other and sometimes but always for free.
You said I bought the stock (not sure which one) at 15.53, the stop loss is at 14.65 and the chart objective is 25.29. I am risking $89 to pick up $976 (per 100 shares). It is a 11-1 risk/reward ratio (based on established support and resistance levels. Wait What????? Not necessarily there Spanky, um, the stop loss is when it triggers not where it will fill, look Towards the end of this short video.
Understanding Market, Limit, and Stop Orders (youtube.com)
Then ask yourself why chart guy is trying to talk folks into setting up stop losses? Answer: because the shorts can tap those for a better than market covering of a few shares. I think using stop losses for companies that trade less than millions everyday is a fool's game, (unless you hold your hand tight and do not tell your broker and control the cover). Follow me, Let’s say that I tell Broker A to buy a 100,000 shares today 2 cents less than the prior market close price, they know that my order is good, they can buy some above that price, then work it down as they know that chart guy has a stop loss in at 10 cents lower than the current price also with Broker A , mark my word they, MM’s will dip it down take out that stop loss to fill my order (and meet my expectations), then it will bounce right back up. Now that 10 cents below market was not real it was just so they could fill my order. They make money and I get what I asked them to do. And make no mistake about it as that stop loss is taken out, Vein and others will complain to help the quick drop and blame Lebby. Lol. Oh and as you just saw in the above video above just because you put in a stop loss does not mean that order will fill at that price, chances are in a stock that trades 500k a day when you put in a 10 cent stop loss they can easily dump to take it out as they control the market. And we all know the 1k per 1 penny thing here. So one would end up selling at least 10 cents less than market and would have to buy back in at a higher number as it would pop back up soon thereafter.
For the life of me I do not understand how to factor in trading a stock without understanding what a company does. It goes against common sense. To me, it looks like, well, this is what happened on the chart since last month oh and look at six months ago draw a line from here to there without even friggin looking at what that company does, and most importantly, the demand for their product from the industry.
I can see if the product is in production with no surprises possible (say that they make tires, ceiling tile or garage doors). Perhaps I'm old school but I look at the future demands, who has the solutions, how they will move to production and what they are doing to prepare for that, then I look at the money required by the company to accomplish that and put my money on that technology.
3 times the speed at 1/10 the power in 1/30th space sure looks promising to me in an AI world when silicon photonics has hit the wall. Aside from the obvious Speed and power savings I think that 1/30th the space is a force multiplier that is yet not understood and will end up being the killer app.)
I guess I'm old school. Shame on me for thinking, I guess.
X says that If I were so successful at day trading, I'd trade and not ask for a subscription fee. The fact is that If I were successful at that, the big firms would pay me millions.
To me investing is when preparation meets opportunity, then I'd just post my thoughts for free. Oh wait, that's what I do.
Soon, there will be AI Apps that one could purchase that provides odds (and documents) while combining the charting with probabilities on that industry's demand and needs, patents in that space and the CEOs' ability to project to the needs with the industry's respect. And the effect of short covering on that event. AI is not there yet, but it is coming.
X. Fact: Lebby can have a sit down on demand with most of the CEOs of the Tier 1's in the industry.
Oh almost red again, if Vein hasn’t posted his well thought out profound and researched wisdom I’m sure he will. Oh 2k more buys than sells up 2 cents, sounds like 1k=1 cent to me. There is a fair amount of dark trades today (50% more than either the buys or the sells) It will be interesting to watch this.
Oh now Buys and sells even, yep back to the open.
Average Volume 200k by noon, we may get a nickel today unless the shorts play.

Who is todmohr? I've been here 20 years, I don't know em?
Are you on the right board?
If so, then why are you blocked?
Chart Reader appears to be a bot, selling a service to news that is available to everyone. Run program, sell service then collect revenue. Just last week your NVDA and Lightwave info last week if I followed your advice it would have cost me $100k in just 1 week. Honest.
I think that you have just turned up an AI service that posts news and sell it.
X. Just saying most here have shaken my hand. Beware folks. He should try the pink sheet gang.
It is a new world guys.
I've turned 100k into millions as many here have, not bad if I do say so myself, and I gave away half of that. I've only invested since the 70's. Your short term news is recycled news with no fundamentals, period and full stop.
You said no news this would drop, um but it hasn't?
Boy did you called that one. I saw the shorts throw down like 15 shares then you posted. And you didn't flinch. I bought on your signal, keep up the good work. I need to watch you, nice call. Tell us though, so we dont have to guess, thanks. "Pff" is hard to interpret as a "buy" signal. I get it but some won't. though, thanks again, nice call.
Nice day, for whatever reason the shorts let this this run on a Friday.
Obviously, you understand the games they play and the market, you don't post when they short, like an amature, like vein and others, atta boy. Keep it up!
As info for whatever reason only 15k shorts played today, nice call, some freakout, you "get it".
X. The heartbeat.
Some thoughts for the day.
Unlike the majority of competing technologies Lightwaves Polymer is Proprietary. That means that its performance is limited directly by Lightwave management via Non-Disclosure Agreements. First they must convince JM and Lebby of their intentions, potential, and their history. If they are determined to be a "friendly" they can proceed. They are not going to reveal information publicly so most will just be left to guess. Naturally occurring materials can be obtained on the open market regardless of ones intention. Naturally those working with it will release information often about their progress as it is human nature to make others think they are “winning”.
Until recently Silicon photonics could keep up, but fortunately for Lightwave it has reached the limits of its natural performance in speed and also it is not very sensitive therefore it requires an additional component to boost the voltage of the data rolling off the silicon computers (as electrons) to convert it to photons to be moved around, between and cross town, then it is converted back to electrons at the other end. Lightwaves polymer is added directly to silicon in a foundry so not only will it converts the data at triple the speed but it also does not require the expensive and bulky component to boost the voltage, oh and it also saves space. So, what they end up with is 3 times the speed using 1/10 the power and in 1/30th the space.
There will be others in polymers this space for sure but what Lebby was able to do while improving the speed and stability of the polymer was to submit patent after patent to put up a moat around this space so that even when someone creates a competing polymer they cannot use it in an area where Lebby has a blocking patent without knocking on Lightwaves door with a bag of money in their hand.
Lightwave has not only the device patents but also the methods of mass producing it are patent protected. Remember that Lightwave has 4 versions of Perkinamine and their patents cover not only Lightaves Perkinaine but other high performing polymers. The rumor has it that there are a handful of both Tier1’s along with their foundries putting this through the rigors of mass production for adoption. The foundries have been working it for over 2 years documenting process development kits (PDKs) so when given the word production should not be costly.
In 2022 Lightwave was producing modulators in gold-boxes to do performance testing and evaluation of the polymer and Lightwave acquired the patents to protect polymers using Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD). ALD is a well known process used by foundries to protect Silicon. Think about that now Lightwave has the patents to ALD protection for “polymers” in foundries. In 2023 they expanded the testing and laboratory space by 9,000 square feet and hired staff to hand the ramp. We are just about there.
The price of a publicly stock is influenced by many things, for the most part supply and demand, we see that short count is currently at about 20 Million. That is 20 Million extra shares than actually exist. Typically, some shorts will sell shares in the thousand (say 5k) in the first second of the trading day. This typically produces a knee jerk reaction so some immediately post negative things here in response to that. They buy and sell throughout the day and at the close they cover just after the bell in the dark at a price again that is worked down in the final hour. It is a game because many dwell on the first and last price of the day shorts know the game well but they still have 20 Million shares to cover someday. When buys exceed sells it typically bumps the price by about 1 Penny per thousand, let me look Oh my there are more sells than buys and yet the price is up, Kew my me. Think about that, 12:30 less than 100k shares traded the shorts could slam this easily but then they are deeper with not enough volume to enable them to get out of that hole.
Shorts do their best to plant seeds of doubt and because Lightwaves material is proprietary it is not publicized, so it is easy for them to do. Authors can only write about what data they have, so I take those articles with a grain of salt.
X
Tier 1's think in the future space. Their CEOs look at what they need going forward, so I get it. They do not wait for it to decide where they are going.
I'm not about today. I invest in tomorrow, as do the majority of the forward-looking investors. I care about investing in the future.
Nice try. Takeover or a partnership is happening NOW
X. We are in the right space. Three times the speed at 1/10th the power. I still say 1/30th the space is the killer app.
Buy now or wait. This is not a sports game it is called investing. I'll bet some think it is, let us see the comments.
Shorts are currently covering post maket, a little at a time as best they can, yawn.
That darn Lebby through down all the patents in this space, smart.
Nice 2024 2 piece swimwear.
No time to quibble.
Most are full of nonsense.
X. Takeover, or JV is coming.
Well, if I were a company that wanted an exclusive contract to dominate the industry and I had a trillion dollar valuation, and I was told no, that is not our vision, we want to sell it to everyone. I 100% know what I'd do.
The shareholders' meeting is 1 month away. Wouldn't it be cool to do a "non-binding" vote on an "other issues as they may arise item"?
In the end, the board of directors has a fiduciary responsibility to do what is right for the shareholders.
$1,000,000,000,000 is a trillion
$1,000,000,000 is a billion or to put it another way
If you had a valuation of $100,000 and had to make a decision on a $100 investment in your business. OK, let's say 2 billion, so that is $200.
How about if we just sell off rights or JV a single vertical?
We are in the right space.
I worked for a company where 1 entity put in an offer. A few weeks later, another entity came forward with a better offer. In the end, they both bought us out. Twas fun to be part of.
There are endless possibilities of selling, partnering, etc.
Nice days are coming up, so Im off to the beach to check out the 2024 swimwear.
I agree, but why do we need to understand what a company does? cannt we just wait until it rises to buy as chartman advises. Stop thinking, look for an upward trend that is all we need to do. Buy on the highs and sell on the lows. That's the ticket. Less shares and less money, less to manage.
X
When he's wrong does he have an oops button because on only 100 shares that is it is an $18k difference.
"Don't talk to be about fundamentals"
X
Lol so you lost your marriage do to fundamentals. But now you have learned to "follow the big money" so you lead from behind. Oh and the $175k thing, there was something that you missed in the company's fundamentals, did you attend shareholder meeting, conferences etc. in that investment? I hope that you learned your lesson. Perhaps I can help you there on the $175k thing.
Some say that I married my current wife just because her uncle left her all that money. Total B.S. Honestly, I don't care who left the money I still would have married her.
X You said "Don't talk to me about fundamentals", I mean really?
Nice day going to play, good luck selling your "I lead from Behind so follow me" newsletter. AI can spit one of those out on any subject in 30 seconds.
"Don't talk to me about fundamentals", LOL I still cannot understand not wanting to know anything about what a company does, its financial standing, leadership, demand, etc.
When a tier1 player like NVDIA signs a deal, it is kind of a big deal, and big money will follow that, but as soon as that is announced say bubye to these super cheap shares because they will dry up in a heartbeat.
I typically see 1 cent per k when buys exceed sells.
We studied where the big money is headed. I've been here 20 years, bought the first share sold on the street.
X. I like to look at the good things every morning, it makes my days so much happier. That was for Vein, no charge bud.
Oh I see now that we were just lucky, all those days spent traveling, learning, attending conferences, shareholder meetings, sit downs etc.just luck, no thought whatsoever lol, too funny. Folks you can not make this stuff up.
Perhaps if you studied what they have done, you would "understand".
Look around AI, look at the demand on the data centers. That data is crunched on silicon using electrons. As it rolls off as electrons when implemented Lightwaves polymer can triple the speed at which it is converted to photons and send on to the next destination, either in the data center, or across town to the next city. It does it with 1/10th the power and is 30 times smaller leaving room in cluttered real-estate. It is compatible with Silicon and can be mass produced in existing foundries. It is going to change a lot of things, even the frequency of trading on the stock market. It is a big deal. Oh and long term capital gains is where it is at.
Two completely different philosophies. The success of the daytraders that I knew was not good. Infact currently I do not know of a single one. But I do know many, many, many that I will see next month that have done well with the research, buy and hold philosophy. The move from 1 dollar to 4 to 20 happened so fast that literally if one sold 10,000 shares 1 day at a dollar ( $10k) they could only purchase 2,500 the next week or so at $4. So at 20 bucks that original 10,000 shares was worth $200k where the day trade only had 2,500 shares or $50,000.
I average average average and hold hold hold. Sure if I have a need for something I'll take a little off the table, again average average average. There a few disgruntled types that sold early here, there are also there that think they should have made a different decision and kick themselves for it.
The grass always looks greener on the others ideas of the fence. I'd invite you to attend the shareholders' meeting to see why there are so many fat cows on this side of the fence.
Many of us play occasionally with small amounts of money at times, but that not our "goal" it is for amusement only.
So if you are so good at predictions I'll bet you kill it with options, perhaps you could sit down with Lew and bedazzle him with your brilliance.
X.
Don't try to sell yourself, then folks may believe you. Lead from the front, the next dishonest dollar I make will be my first.
As always make them successful, then you will have actual weight in what you say. We are not always right but honestly is the best policy. Never take advantage of anyone.
TH, for shame don't loose your
standing, whatever. I'd be ashamed.
X
Amen bro life is what you make it. Money is just something to do.
You are welcome to my humble abode anytime.
Best.
X
I'm not sure about your lifestyle, but whatever floats your boat. I'm not here to make a judgment. Hey, if anyone is happy to make $20k a year, they are most certainly welcome in my circle, and welcome in my home, 100%, and honestly, they are the best human beings you will ever meet. Nothing to prove to anyone and smarter than those who look down on them. Honest, honest, money is just something to do.
X everyone has their definition of sucess, would you like to visit? Gold, silver is up, chase it... If you come just bring your coveralls because we will have some real fun, that is what real life is. Honest.
All I have to say is that I'm not selling a service of anything. So, yep, I also used to work for someone who paid me enough not to try and sell their success to others. I made my dough. Its just the success of other,s, Not me, I don't try to project that but, um
you do. So you are saying that the direct sucess was you? If true then just work your brilliance. It is not rocket science. But apparently not, or your magic would work..... so you don't have enough money yet? Weird.
Does it make sense?
X. Good luck, you will only be successful selling to others who believe that you are responsible for that success.
Sorry, man. Good luck jumped in the wrong boat.
How about my small wager?
If you are successful, then why are you here, make sense? 80% of the owners of this equity know me.
Then why are you here?
I just look at you as someone trying to sell a service and I scratch my head.
If I were to buy 100k shares tomorrow below market to make a few bucks and then sell 100k shares, to make lets say just $5k just tell me what to do? I'm all ears.
If it makes $5k in a day I'll pay you $1k. Ready? But you need to put up the $200k or so just in case it goes to $10.
If it looses you owe me $1k.
Sound fair?
X
If I can opine, Th used to be one of the best shareholders here, he helped then bailed here, that is fine an honest and great move, then he went to nio, helped, then hurt them. Smart, but as he said now it is in a warrant play there. Punkin can attest that TH made a good move moving here he made 8 figures. Punk did not.
Love him but, I think I see a cardinal sin, he may confess in the end, now it appears that he is trying to get back in here, good move but the facts in what he states leads me to believe what he is doing in my mind is wrong. Screwing others for the sake of one's benefit is not good. I guess I'm old school.
God bless you TH but best not to play others for ones benifit. Dang dude!
Sorry but I don't play people.
TH when you are gone. Do not put neggative karma on those you bequeath your money too. Honest. Make it honest money.
I see them short them one day, then disappear overnight to who knows where. Naked shorts.
The brokers will be one the hook because some owns them, but who knows what that catalyst will be.
X.
Exactly. ILL QUOTE YOU. "News can change everything overnight, meaning that if news comes out, what I am about to explain will go out the window." I call that an eraser statement. Many investors here spend thousands every year just doing due diligence on this and have for years and years.
So when news it comes out it will jump so fast that the shiny object guys will be left out in the cold.
Many of these folks here have between 100k and 2 million shares. They can not exactly sell and buy back in 5 minutes.
I have one account that I'm rolling to a Roth so I do that at the end of the red days.
X. Nice day.
When folks are first investing of course they can move in and out, but after a while you can not.
Every now and again the market separates the wheat from the chaff. The strong from the weak.
Saturday, I said at least Monday through Wednesday would be down days. I took advantage of it. I certainly can not hold everyone's hand so I guess if it makes you feel better complain away. I'm not good at whining.
X The shorts are hiding shares overnight as fast as they play them. T+1 is about 1 month away, I'm not sure how that will affect the Naked situation though. Nothing I can do about it on my end. Complaining will just further their cause.
Need a deal that'll help, until then I'll do what I can to benefit from this.
Put me on ignore that will solve that, it sounds like you will feel better.
X, every day I look and see if there is anything that I can do to take advantage of a situation. If it is raining I work in the garage, If the sun is out I ride my bike, if it is happy hour I order one before it ends, if the stock price is down, I put in a buy order. That million I sold at 4 on the way up now appears to have been the right decision. Life is short and I don't always get it right, but it is what I thought was right at the time, my call no one else's. If I blaimed someone else everytime I was wrong, Id spend more time looking for someone to blaim than figuring out my next move. When it was at 20 bucks I got greedy though, should have taken some off the table, but I didn't, oh well.
Cheer up Pit, I'll bet it is sunny in Florida and Nitro is fishing.
Sun is out, price is down so you know what I'll be doing.
Not every decision immediately appears to be correct.
Riding, riding. My bet is on Lebby.
Well, it's not fun, but at least my morning order filled at $3.64.
This shall pass.
X
AI can write things, we all know that. Check it out Taser (AXON) now has it monitoring the audio of the cops cameras to fill out their reports for them, that will save them 1 or 2 hours a day. This is getting crazy. So there are 8 officers on scene that data is all linked together.
Next up, your car will be linked to your bank account and automatically debit you for running a red light or speeding. That is why self driving cars will be needed. Data data data.
No more breaks, folks.
X. We are in the right spot, funny to see how the shorts changed the focus of some longs from the goal being success here to looking at the minute by minute price. Then we had the chart guy, the line is trending down so unless something changes it will continue that way, lol, I mean really.
Tier1's, I always believed it would happen, but dang what a long road it has been. No doubt that some will bale before success, it is just human nature. The market will do what it does. Up and down, down and up.
Like 22, I posted and typically will Mark the anomalies.
Their time will come, they can hold out for a long time though. When it takes 10k more sells to drop it a penny but rises a penny on 1k shares, they understand the pickle they are in
X. Tick tock
Well your favorite stock never made it to $20 but you did it at $8 to pennies. If that happens does this mean that we will blame others for 20 years like you? I cannot imagine.
Thanks.
X Tier 1's on the horizon and man o man look at that speed.
Put in another rollover, lets see what price ends up being that I have to pay taxes on.
X
Oh and I bought some at $3.75 earlier today, yawn price will do what it will do. 125k more sells thans buys on higher-than-normal volume of about 735k 10 minutes before the close. Just the shorts, glad I'm not selling.
Oh the shorts are at 20.5 Million, up 565k on the day but overnight that may change overnight.
Mark 129.
Order filled $3.75
X
Short count has 565k in it today.
140k more sells than buys but yet it is only down 14 cents that is 1 cent per 10k sold.
Hopefully I'll get a decent rollover number today at the close.
So the shorts have about 500k to play with today, they keep shuffling them around, but it looks like they have about 20.5 million above board (Naked is unknown)
X I just put my buy order in, lets see if it fills.
Is AI wonderful or what?
Draft One saves officers one or more hours per day utilizing body-worn camera audio to produce draft police reports in seconds with greater quality and clarity.
This is a big deal.
X
That is a good point.
Hopefully photonics guy will be at the SHM, he is always a good person to stand behind.
I take the stance that is it better to keep one's mouth shut and be thought of as a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
X
Funny, it is about the product that he is testifying about, and if you do not think that senior management consults an expert witness when considering whether to settle or fight. Whatever
You want to be so right so bad that I honestly believe that think that you know more than Lightwave's management.
IMO Marcelli will retire as soon as the first Tier1 is consummated, and his legacy will be sealed.
X
"He knows none of the principals by virtue of his expert witness work." and what if that individual that he interacted with some 10 years ago has moved up through the ranks like most of us when we worked for fortune 500 type company people or for instance Walter did over his career.
That many companies do not consult someone that does not know what they are talking about and thinking that the knowledge gained is irrelevant when writing patents for a new EO Polymer is naive. You make is sound as if that experience does not apply and anyone could do it. Whatever, I think that you have beef with JM and like punkin cannot simply let it go.
I can vouch for that statement because I was standing next to KCC, it was a Domaine Leroy with the Chambertin Grand Cru. Compliments of Lightwaves Largest shareholder and Walter.
Yes, correct I was drinking Boones Farm.
X
Now his life's work as an EXPERT WITNESS EXPERIENCE.
Shorts will say anything.
Understand that Lebby needed to understand the technology and businesses that he spoke for. A mind once stretched does not return to its original dimension.
Look at these players, he knows them all.
