Your concerns were spot on, but it now appears Israel is striking a bit earlier (early morning Apr 19).
Brent up just over 3%, at $89 a barrel
Appears Israel may be bombing Iran's nuclear development sites; my previous ZH post.
Futures broadly red 1%+++ in all countries; -2% in FTSE.
Here we go. Explosions heard no in Iran. Put your helmets on if long.

Microchips, are these patents under Lightwave's ownership for applications using their polymers? Thanks!
Are you a cousin of Vein's? 🤔
🤣 Dead the Russell's off 1%, Lightwave's a touch green, and your panties are all in a knot. You need to get over yourself or old Sparky's gonna give you some well deserved noggies. No denyin, no denyin
Ah, Denyin Dead, where have you been buddy. You sound a little testy today. Ain't no denyin, no denyin.
No denying Lightwave's chief role and presence on the photonics Road map KCC, Walter and Proto, as noted!
Mama, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin'

Payroll, meaning get people "onto the payroll" and OFF the Federal, State and County Dole?
you got my vote there! and controlling the borders, and having Congress get some more efficient immigration program in place, and no more free access for coyotes and drug/sex/illicit villains!
2H2, yep, you got a good point there. Grey goslings about to turn into Black Swans!
Right now I'm 100% in fixed income so I can sleep better at night as multiple little gray swans erupt around the word, and the Fed needs to stay firm until the US economy cracks. Otherwise, Inflation will persist in the 3ish to more 4% range. US will have a challenging time servicing their debt, as well small companies and parts of the mortgage/commercial real estate area. I'm on the edge of retirement so I need to be very careful not, and as a friend who understands markets and inflation (from working in the 80's), said, "hey, don't be cute". I respect his judgement and am also understanding his caution more and more each day. The one positive is Generative AI and the fact that the US is still a pro- venture capital market. That said, the many issues of inflation, geopolitical tensions/wars, and US debt issues looming along with entitlement programs and Social Security reaching unsustainable levels yields a dour outlook!
Well that was quick! SPY 507.73, todays 50 dma (exponential) busted, and tomorrow's a new day!

I listened to New York Fed President John Williams TV appearance "on Bloomberg" this morning after the very strong retail numbers, and he gave all kinds of happy talk, economy doing great, inflation coming down. If that continues he said he would support rate cuts in 2024. Wonder what Mary Daly (also in link below) San Fran Fed President says tonight at 8pm (est). Tomorrow at 9am is Fed Vice Chair Philip Jefferson speaks. All their happy talk seems to be wearing off! And that's not making people very happy if they trusted them! I don't

Matty, for sure, 💯, and he's a Master Baiter and curmudgeon.
Soon when the key news comes, the Baiter will revise their scam story to fit their narrative! 🤣
🚀🛸 to da 🌛 Lightwave!
66k to 63k doesn't look like stage 3 to me. More an implosion to seek out US dollars and fixed income.
I went to 100% cash this past week from 85% cash (fixed income) primarily because of inflation, and then further before of the Geopolitical unstable situation, as well as our current Administration's posture. Can't believe Prez Joe went to Delaware beach house this weekend with what was pending. He should have stayed in the White House to be ready to deal with what was imminent.
Thanks! Been traveling and haven't followed the dates closely.
Big week coming up!
Hi Walter! How did Dr L's presentation to your gathering go last week? Looking forward to hearing about this week's Lightwave conference presentations! The drumbeat keeps building! 💥💪🚀
This US intel on potential Iranian strike on Israel in the next 48 hours appears to be putting a damper on the markets today, and likely traders, etc. closing out long positions on Friday. Notice Treasuries are now seeing a flight to safety to some degree. Gold gave up all of its 3% gain earlier today, Bitcoin dropping some too. Cash is King right now.

SPY 507.87 is the 50 dma (exponential)
QQQ is getting close too. Geopolitical events by Iran could cause an ugly Monday, and then depends on outlook by Tech stocks earnings and 2nd Q forecast to save/salvage a larger pullback/correction to the 200 dma at SPY 470.
I do too frobinso, but sometimes look to see who is replying back to quality posts, and then I notice a real whiner that is so ridiculous that I feel compelled to put out a counter post. I will try to control my rational urges more going further! 😉 Nice to see you and others doing great accumulation in the low $4's. I did some of that later in Dec, and even some $3.87s in mid-January. That one was a nice early 2024 fire sale.
X, it is truly sad when some didn't listen years ago, and then come back to haunt the more recent years LWLG Ihub board with venom, over and over again because that is their only way to deal with their anger and abysmal decision making of the past, and likely current too, where they all of a sudden lose patience like a two year old not getting their way in the candy store. 💯🤪
Dr. Lebby in his presentations had said the Ciscos and Ciena companies are the type they would work with. Look at the Funnel and Leads.....Lumentum, and others...Of course under NDAs we patiently wait out the eventual big stream of news.
Google would be a Data Center buyer of Lightwave's future 800G transceivers, as I believe will AWS (Amazon), MSFT Azure, IBM, Oracle, etc. and on and on. 🤩
Fed has been gelded. Can't cut rates; won't raise rates any further for political reasons.
They are in a Box that won't play out very well at all.
507.33 is the 50 dma (exponential).
There is are bond auctions today (20 year) and tomorrow (30 year) which could dampen the market from a bounce depending on how poorly (high) their yields go.
Sorry for your likely losses for this week's calls (and SPY target 535 by Friday)
Wrong, he said putting the polymer down on silicon followed standard Foundry processes. spray, dry etching, wet etching, etc.
It was the poling process that had to resolve, and they did over a year ago w/ that one company acquisition (of patents). Solved the temperature issues too!
Reliability testing is NOT a challenge for them, it is a process requirement by the Bigga pending Mega Cap cloud company and/or transceiver manufacturer!
Process requirements just take TIME!
More babies crying. Here's a pack of tissues for you.
Dr. Lebby will deliver when it is time to deliver, but playing Monday quarterback and whining shows a lack of understanding the reality of what is being engineered and worked through at the highest level and largest Mega Cap companies.
This isn't like the old Carnation instant breakfast: A few scoops of the chocolate powder into a glass, add milk, stir and enjoy! 🤣
This is very serious and complex engineering from the Foundry production of PIC, poling, sealing, device packaging, etc.
Not just a few scoops, add milk, and stir. I'm looking forward to a Dry Martini, shaken not stirred.
CPI core and other #'s higher than est. SPY pre-market off around 0.9%; small caps off 2.2%
Core March up 0.4%; est. 0.3%
CPI year over year up 3.5%, est. 3.4%
Core CPI year over year up 3.8% est. 3.7%
It takes a lot of energy to run desalinization plants. And ones being planned in Cali have to deal with outflows of hyper or much more salient water back into the ocean deeper water areas, but there are a lot of ecological issues to consider. So that may be a partial solution for more human water needs versus massive industrial water needs. No magic bullet; I believe where they site these plants geographically (near abundant water resources) is the smartest solution in the near term.

Phoenix ranks No. 6 for data center construction in 2023
Aimless, for sure, but also this tremendous growth in Data Centers in the list of cities/areas (below link) in the US and even Canada is going to put major pressure on improved data transmission technology and lower energy needs! This is like a Power Ball winning formula for Lightwave Logic upon landing their first of many deals!! 🤑🚀
I did realize how much growth was happening versus existing or Total Inventory. It is eye-popping!

Seems like the water resources issue with even more massive subsidized chip plants in Arizona is going to result in a more acute water problem. And that doesn't include all the electricity needed to run these plants and cool the systems. I'm just surprised as this administration was talking about how green and good they are for the environment, Yet they're not putting these plants in areas that are more water available as well as electricity.🤔🙃
Maybe Carl can weigh in with his more local NM and AZ insights.
X, the robins are hoarding worms everywhere here in Maryland, dawn, daytime and dusk.
Some the shorts will be hoarding shares just like new Lightwave long shareholders. 🚀🛸
Volume completely dried up! Perfect set up before the news launch!
Hilarious! you are a Critical Complainer, and terrible speller!
You bleated:
Xena may be a bit ahead of the final deals getting signed, but there are just a few additional items to close out as stated in previous presentations by Dr. Lebby regarding some final reliability information, as well as readiness for the packaging and device production, imo.
If you are unhappy, sell, assuming you even own any shares. Better yet, short and join the pain trade in the weeks ahead! LOL
