Currently over the Mississippi. price has crapped the bed, 635k short shares reported around 2 today. That is the most I've seen in a while, so we are at 21 million now. The best part about when drops is watching the green days that follow. This shall pass.
Anyhow, the shareholders' meeting was time very well spent. Hearing and seeing things is always better.
My biggest aha moment was hearing that testing of "multiple wafers that are coming from multiple foundries from all over the place" dicing guy was cool with 25 to 40 modulators first on a fingernail. Say some crazy arraies of diced chips. Even Got a picture of the full wafer with just me. 10k modulators per wafer. Kerf is a small percentage of chip size. The employees are very confident and enthusiastic. One of the rooms had $3m worth of equipment in it. 200 gig demo was awesome equipment capable of measuring those speeds is only 1 year old.
Looking good, shame many had to miss it, you can not walk away from that tour and not be excited.
I feel bad if anyone has to sell, I don't need to, so I'll be holding and buying as it is obvious to me we will taken over. You will see some attitudes from those that sell trying to supress the price with negative posts to enforce their decision.
Many let others control their mood.
It is a good day to roll some shares so I'm going to go do some of that.
How about that 10/1 NVDA split!
X. We haven't had back to back 10% down days in a while, yawn, it will pass.
There were some very funny belly laughs, I can't go into that.
Just finished the lab tour. All I can say is WOW, you guys have no idea.
Only post of the day, "multiple wafers comming from multiple foundries all over the place" 25 to 40 modulators fingernail. Got a picture of the wafer with just me, 2 were available for pictures, 10k modulators per wafers. Kerf is a small percentage of chip size. Real people, real equipment lol, one of the rooms had $3m worth of equipment in it. 200 gig demo was awesome equipment capable of measuring only 1 year old.
Looking good, shame many missed it, you can not walk away from that tour and not be excited.
Emergency lab space contingency in place just in case.
X. My order filled. They are so far ahead of where we think the are, it is just plain ridiculous.
Xster xster
Always enjoy scratching my head and watching how nervous folks (shorts and even some insecure longs) get this time every year. Been doing these for 20 years, not as excited as I used to get, just like everything in life I guess. Let me think, Since last year, We have wafers from the foundry, poling is nailed, new version of Perk just surfaced for licensing, lab expansion is complete and staffed, new office members, lab capable of producing the various versions. Some act like nothing has been accomplished looks pretty doggone good to me. All that with no debt and cash onhand for 1 1/2 years. Don't know about you guys but all I did was have fun this past year, so I like what I see there.
Looking forward to hanging out and learning what I can.
X, I dont let others set my expectations. As long as I'm happy, I'm happy.
You know when Garbone posts the shorts are worried, I remember when I gave him CCTC and told him that was a good short bet, that did him for a few years but no loyalty to those that help you in the past I guess. Looking forward to some good Midwest grass fed beef, now that I can eat meat again.
IMO, the company will overcome this short attack the same way they overcame every obstacle in the way since this concept was first envisioned long ago. Surprise, oops they did it again, I think that there is some unannounced strategery in play, rope a dope type thinking.
I digress
Imagine looking at silicon photonics over 20 years ago and understanding that a patented plastic could be developed to outperform Silicon. They started in a garage in Newport, and now they are on the stage with Tier1 CEOs requesting private demonstrations. Since last year, we have seen them build out and staff a facility capable of producing perkinamine for the masses. They finally were able to show foundry produced wafers capable of producing quantities sufficient for the Tier1s to step up.
These accomplishments will soon reward us. It is my opinion that although the shorts have stepped up a massive smear campaign, they are a day late and a dollar short. By that, I mean they can not possibly cover by the time some sort of partnership or takeover is announced.
It is not easy to do something that has never been accomplished before, while quietly submitting patent after patent surrounding the material, devices, and production processes.
These are trillion dollar industries they are changing, and AI is quickly forcing their hand.
I am looking forward to gaining more insight in person next week.
X. I can not imagine how one prevents doing an exclusive deal with one of these behemoths.
I'm curious about how they Dice the chips as well. I'm a 'look at it with my own eyes, type of learner'. Best to believe my own eyes and explain it in plain English from there.
I just looked at the weather out there and it looks beautiful. For those that never went to Estes park, Pikes Peak cog railway, Red Rock canyon (Either hike from the bottom up or just drive up there), E bikes through the college and up the mountain in Boulder, Old City Boulder is also cool to just walk around, or the small town of Golden cool to drive through the canyon along the river, tour a gold/silver mine, flatiron rocks hike, the hotel is on golf course so there are unusually packages. All of that stuff is nearby.
F'in wafers from a foundry, lab is complete and staffed, new office help (oh as info Linda retired but will be attending, so say make sure to say hi to her and thank her), Modulator demonstration, we have come so far in a year it is ridiculous, never fast enough for many.
Wow, I'm happy and ready for the next step in this evolution to solving slow power-hungry Silicon Photonics, Tripling the speed, reducing power requirements by a factor of 10, no expense for a driver and do not overlook the real-estate freed up because it is 30 times smaller.
🤙 X Shorts still at 20.2 Million (17% FF), oh as info that ASTS had 700k of their 33.5 M (27% FF) shorts returned and that basically took it from $2 to $4.50 in a couple days since a deal was announced, what is different there is that because of the massive volume the days to cover went from 10 to 6 there here it is 34 days, anything over 10 is high. T+1 coming just after the shareholders meeting so they will have to do the Wall Street shuffle twice as fast. The shorts can hold out as long as they choose, they do not know how their bet paid off until they have returned the shares.
I'm looking forward to the 200 mm foundry produced modulators on a wafer and the packaged modulator engine demonstration that will certainly be new for me, but some have convinced themselves that it is not important. Wait, what, I mean, really. They said it couldn't be done, now that it is many forget what it took to get here.
I hope for a picture holding the wafer in one hand and a diced chip on my figure tip in the other. Dream on X. Like holding the first NVDA chip. They could put it up at my funeral folks could scratch their chin and nod as they load my ashes in a potato gun and fire me up in air, off with a bang, thing.
Three times the speed at 1/10 the power. I still think what many have not considered is what that unused space will be used for especially with the power saved from the driver. Killer app, yup. Sensor, encryption??
The last lab tour that I attended had brand new testing equipment that, for the first time, had been manufactured capable of testing the incredible speeds that they thought Perk had, but until that time, it could not be verified. I picked it up and turned it over serial number 2. Marcelli quickly reacted (he whacked my knuckles like a nun). I looked, and it was running at 100, I asked what that represented, and he said thats currently on the electric side, I nodded and scratched my head, best not to open my mouth and appear a fool.
Hard to figure out, but lately, it seems that some longs are scared that Lightwave is succeeding, and they almost can not believe it, kinda weird. They pound their chests like they are in charge and matter in a multi-trillion dollar industry.
Foundry produced wafers and functioning modulators that can be dropped into transcievers. As info, the modulator is on the sending side of a transciever. We already know the receiving side can catch it and flip it back to electrons. Years ago, when I asked Fred L about that, he said that was the easy part.
It's Friday, and the market will put the price where it wants it. There is still a buyer of 20 million shares that needs to be filled, they will buy it will rise, they will close it down and grab a chunk at the close price, and so it goes.
Still saying a tier 1 will simply buy us out, smack/rub their hands together, and say that's that. Assume the patents and IP and on they go. Funny but I'll bet the ones complaining now will complain then.
X.weather wise it is going to be a beautiful day, so enjoy it. Nuf with the complaining, life is too short.
Typing like an old man with 1 figure I better hit the send button before I loose my thoughts.
Marching toward the 11:20 trade a few shares to move it down a tad and make the folks squirm as it moves towards red (daily) and complain time. This board as a useful tool has jumped the shark. It has gone from they cannot ever do it, no way, to watching them solve the issues, to well sure they can do it, but now we want to know every detail of every conversation, and if they do not discuss those details upon demand, then some will name call and say that they are incompetent. As for how far a negotiation and at what stage we are in with whom, what does the tier1 do etc,,,,, um as we saw over the years it isn't a deal until the ink is dry, and negotiating 101, never reveal your timeline.
I'm from the days when we would pray for this much attention from the industry.
Some of us were wondering why the Lightwave employees were still in town (apparently held over) for an extra 2 days over after the OFC San Frisco meeting, now we see that there were no less than 20 companies that apparently requested an unscheduled impromptu demo on a holiday week (good Friday) after the convention was over. Not only did Lightwave employees not go home but it sounds like a bunch of Tier 1’s and such saw it as important enough to see ASAP. And yes while many on here say that NDA’s do not exist, LOL I’ll bet that not only were NDA’s mandatory but I bet that every demo was “private” by scheduled appointment only and also attended by the various expert employees at Lightwave to get the most bang for the buck I thought that Walter and the across the pond guys did a great job, Lebby answered a lot on things that were on my mind. Funny how many complain and expect others to not only do everything for them but feel that they are entitled to have everything explained to them oh and also hold their hands daily.
Great job Walter, Mike, Atikeman thanks for your effort. It is far more than what others have done.
X, Did anyone think about what would happen if we did a deal with a small-time player and they were taken over?
Who knows whose shares are moving around, they aren't mine, so the price is what it is. They do not need money so?
Lol now punk is asking
“What is the current sales pipeline for Lightwave Logic's polymer modulators and other products? Can you share any details on the size and timing of potential deals with the 20+ major corporations that have viewed the technology demo?"
"When do you anticipate Lightwave Logic will achieve its first $1 million revenue quarter? What milestones need to be hit to reach that level of quarterly sales?"
"What is the company's plan to become cash flow positive and profitable? When do you expect Lightwave Logic to reach profitability?”
Punkin has come a long way, he used to say that it could never be done, now he keeps falling back, apparently trying to hold the line, lol, now he is asking questions about revenue and dang even invoking God to help humanity as his reason for posting in his credentials. Even if one thinks that they are right that is quite a statement, typically something that a reasonable person keeps to themselves a life's effort is something between them and their creator. I have no idea where this technology will lead or what it will solve, my goal is an investment, certainly not divine, I have no clue in the end who it will truly benefit but the medical thing does have potential.
Today I'm happy with thousands of modulators on a foundry produced wafer. And thousands of modulators from a few ounces of Perkinamine. These modulators Triple the speed, reduce the power and are 1/30 the size of today's modulators. Lebby will fill us in on what we need, he is far more intelligent than anyone on this board.
Read on folks.
Oh and do not forget about those that sold early (or didn’t sell early) that purport to be long and like to consistently complain every single time the price drops. Let me try to explain it this way, this is not a sports game, this is a technology, so unlike sports, points can be literally be taken of the scoreboard by simply borrowing and selling shares (shorts). Remember though that those shares must be purchased back and until then the actual score of the game is not known. So the shorts agenda is to sell it down then try and convince folks to sell them shares at that discounted price. Some longs do not understand that they are helping the shorts at their game. That being said, there are currently 17% more shares sold than exist. They have borrowed those shares and pay interest daily and have sold them to us with the hope of buying them back at a reduced price (Some purported longs even try to help them) apparently, they think that if they complain it will force an NVDA, Microsoft, IBM, Amazon to reach an agreement with Lightwave sooner. Well, it will not change the speed of the adoption of the technology, I’m all for doing a tier1 agreement, but a few quick little agreements could force their hand so the Tier1’s do not have to have to honor those agreements should the company be taken over.
Some seam to forget that until now Silicon photonics could keep up, but no more and with AI we just entered a new world, where the pace set by Moore's Law for silicon photonics is leisurely compared to this new demand. AI is totally on a sprint, with its computational power doubling not every two years, but approximately every six months.
Let me look at what the shorts have said over the years basically throwing spaghetti at the wall and have been proven wrong. Patents were filed in 2020, 2021, ALD I think was 2022. Patents were not made public, the shorts were babbling meanwhile Lebby had not only solved it but wrote and submitted patents.
Here are the 10 top B.S. short myths, trying to suppress the stock so they could try and cover I also think that there are a few purported longs that sold prematurely that are now helping to push the shorts game forward, meanwhile with the next deal announcement the dam is about to burst.
I’d love to see Punkin hold a conversation with Lebby one on one for 5 minutes, it would be hilarious,
Shorts and those paid by the shorts to act like they “know something” won't even tell you when they are short, they just say, no not short just here to spend my life 7 days a week helping folks that I have never met. Well, here they are, you tell me guys.
1.) The shorts had worked for months to try and convince investors that Lightwave had a problem poling. Then low and behold Lightwave unveiled 2 patents they submitted years prior solving that issue.
2.) The shorts claimed for years Lightwave could not protect the device in anything other than a gold box, then Lightwave unveiled the ALD patent that they had acquired. Basically, hair spray over the finished chip is all that is needed. The foundries are using the same thing over the electronics side of the chip.
Understand that even if someone else invents an EO Polymer Lightwave Owns the Patent on ALD over Polymers. Comprende?
3.) The shorts claimed Lightwaves material was not stable, Wham Bam blown out of the water yet again.
4.) Shorts said that Lightwave could never get this under 1 volt, well Lightwave did, in fact Lightwaves polymer is so sensitive that their modulators can function without the aid of driver to boost the voltage. Basically the electrons in the 1's and 0's rolling off the silicon can embed themselves into the laser using Lightwaves polymer. Oh and by the way, Lightwave also owns the patent on a driverless Polymer Modulator. Even if someone perfects a stable sensitive EO polymer when the want to do direct drive, they have to come knocking on Lightwaves door with cash in hand.
5.) For the 6 months leading up to last years annual shareholder meeting the shorts stated Lightwave could not close a commercial deal all the then like now trying to convince us that the sky was falling and once again Lebby delivered.
6.) For months the shorts said Lightwave could not use anything other than gold on their electrodes, well guess the F what, yup, once again (at the shareholders meeting) Lebby put up a slide of successful foundry runs and when asked by me if the contacts labeled AL on the slide stood for Aluminum Lebby said “yes, we use that any many other materials as well”. I asked about aluminum corrosion, the response was, X (you idiot) that is what the ALD will also protect.
7.) The Shorts were trying to convince longs that the foundry had not made progress on PDK’s, Lebby certainly blew them out of the water on that as well. As info PDK’s are process development kits, it is how the foundries make Lightwaves devices available to the public so when an NVDA’s, Amazon (AWS), Cisco or Fujitsu are designing devices they can check that box and add that to their device in the foundry. 2 weeks ago lebby said the foundries have thousands of modulators per wafer. On question that I need to understand is that with thousands of devices on a wafer how many of those thousands of modulators are affected by the kerf when dicing (sawing or scribing?)
8) The shorts used to say that it couldn’t me done now as you see Pumpkin is asking Yes but “What is the current sales pipeline for Lightwave Logic's polymer modulators? Can you share any details on the size and timing of potential deals with the 20+ major corporations that have viewed the technology demo? When do you anticipate Lightwave Logic will achieve its first $1 million revenue quarter? What milestones need to be hit to reach that level of quarterly sales? What is the company's plan to become cash flow positive and profitable? When do you expect Lightwave Logic to reach profitability?” Lol, Lol and again Lol It sounds like Pumpkin is finally being honest, perhaps it is by divine intervention on his posts
9) As info the institutions now own 26% of the shares, The shorts would have us believe that is irrelevant, wait what?
10) I like this, Ted who also has another ID said that he gets his info from the internet because everything on it is true. When asked why he does not use first-hand information he said that he is not good at reading people, lol and yet he watches every video with baited breath.
I know some do not see it but as evidenced by their latest efforts the shorts are worried and it is obvious that whomever they got their info from was consistently years behind making up issues that had in fact already been solved. I would not want to have been an advisor to the shorts.
Lightwave is finally at the stage where they have the patents in place, moved into additional lab space, hired additional lab personnel for making larger quantities of perkinamine, (a few fluid ounces can make thousands of devices) the new lab will be equipped to test larger quantities of chips coming back from foundries, work on new polymers for additional devices (they even have another polymer available for licensing) produce data sheets, standardize bulk testing, they have even hired a dedicated deal maker, oh also a V.P. dedicated just to working with foundries that are actively running wafers. Now they have added a former Intel deal maker to the board of directors.
Soon this thing will in fact snowball because the industry's "go to" good old silicon photonics has hit the wall it simply cannot run faster. Lightwaves material when added applied to Silicon triples the speed and because it is so sensitive it is 30times smaller and uses 1/10 the power all at a time when AI is pushing the amount of data processed by the data centers through the roof.
Some of us were wondering why the Lightwave employees were still in town (apparently held over) for an extra 2 days over after the OFC San Frisco meeting, now we see that there were no less than 20 companies that apparently requested an unscheduled impromptu demo on a holiday week (good Friday) after the convention was over. Not only did Lightwave employees not go home but it sounds like a bunch of Tier 1’s and such saw it as important enough to see ASAP. And yes while many on here say that NDA’s do not exist, LOL I’ll bet that not only were NDA’s mandatory but I bet that every demo was “private” by scheduled appointment only and also attended by the various expert employees at Lightwave to get the most bang for the buck.
Lightwave makes the thing that makes the component better anyone communicating using fiber optics needs it, the entire industry needs it. Think if BASF produces a chemical that makes paint last longer. Why would the paint manufacture tell its competitors what makes their paint so durable. Lightwave is going partner with many and they will simply sell devices that are faster and require less energy, those companies are not going to tell the competition what they do to make that happen. Lightwave will quietly market to the tier1's and they will insist on it in their data centers and devices. The one exception that I see is that if the foundry runs were paid for by Lightwave Logic (vs. say an amazon or facebook etc) Lightwave would do joint public PR of where the industry can order chips with Lightwaves Perkinamine on it (It is called checking the box on the PDK).
The shorting situation will be solved by additional Partnerships and look out when those Partnerships are accompanied by a dividend in a new 3rd party company licensing say the ability to develop the Lidar device market or for the biotech crowd a medical sensing partner, wham short situation solved in short order. Remember that currently they are only talking about Telcom 2km to 10km market but there are so many more.
Currently 1k difference between the buys and sells changed it 1 penny. Folks this is just normal trading without any pressure on the price. This time next week we’ll either be in the lab or in the meeting.
Still trying to digest the effects of T+1 on the shorts especially the foreign exchange rate, Fails To Deliver, Naked shorting etc. it is coming the Tuesday after Memorial Day (Holiday in the U.S., which is the weekend after the Shareholders Meeting), Finra Settlement Date 5/31 which then will mean a trade date of 5/30.
Short Game, Market Maker Game, Institution Game, changing technology
Check it out rainy day so I thought I’d look

Pumpkin claims to be doing “Gods Work”.
Xster Rainy day so I thought I'd spend few minutes today,
Let me look at the Price, 54k more sells than buys and the price is down 11 cents. Kind of a yawner. 15th finra end date. Volume is pretty much average but remember that with over a month to cover (anything over 10 is high) they aren't exactly comfortable.
Let me try and test drive this.
There vein should be happy it dropped below 4, just what he wanted. Enjoy.
I’ve been here since this was just a vision. It has been a long road, I watched this move from a garage to a world class lab with world class talent. It has been interesting to watch the shorts try and sow the seeds of doubt. They used to say that the polymer was not stable, they used to say that it could not be packaged, they used to say that temperature was an issue, they used to say that air was an issue, they used to say that it could not be mass produced in a foundry on wafers only on the bench. It is interesting to watch them get knocked back on their heels and be proven wrong as one patent after another rolled out and proved that they had solved that issue, so they move onto something else. The shorts brought this price down by selling 20 million shares, they have not covered those shares yet. In other words there are 50k more sells than buys and yet the price is up 4 cents. Think about that, shorts are slamming yet the price rises during the day, that is showing that the demand exceeds the supply, and yes they bring it back down at the end, yawn. As for when the shorts will cover, yawn, not sure they can hold out for a long time or they cannot. Unseen events can cause them to scramble, can not predict that.
Lebby now has the attention of the Tier1’s. I’d like to see a deal with a tier1 whereby they set up another company to develop one of Lightwaves verticals and dividend shares to shareholders. Understand that when that happens everyone except those that have loaned their shares receives that dividend. It is up to the shorts to locate and provide that dividend to whomever they borrowed those shares from.
The shorts effort of late shows that they are beginning to understand that days to cover before an announcement is quickly coming to an end. They are trying to persuade others to assume their position. Typically shorts will cover during a financing maneuver but once again we see that Lightwave consistently keeps the cash on hand out 15 months, with no debt and this frustrates them. I remember when they used have less than 3 months of dough, that was scary, but with no debt, yawn
I’m looking forward to a little boots on the ground next week, and learning what I can.
I know that many want to know exactly on what day of the week they can expect an announcement of a tier1, beats me, complaining won’t help though.
X, Complaining helps Nothing
Thousands of modulators on foundry produced wafers!!!!!!! Not Disappointing at all!!!
"This has been incredibly busy, incredibly exciting and yeah, the types of visits that we've had over 20 major corporations come look at our packaged polymer modulators and the reason being is, is the performance like we've indicated." Prepare for the shorts to Gas Light the uniformed. As info these Modulators will be dropped into transceivers by the industry and plug n play.
Over 20 presentations directly to the industry, F'in Packaged Modulator. I'm not sure what Y'all don't get.
All good, a 10Q is a recap of the prior quarter, I did not realize all that they have just accomplished.
Next week is the SHM.
The shorts have some trained to bark upon demand, I never would have thought they could train some longs, but they have.
Oh, as info more sells than buys and yet the share price is up 5%, those that do not understand that by now never will.
All Good, Foundry produced wafer with thousands on the wafer. I cannot believe that folks do not think that is big deal, foundry produced on the wafer, not produced on the bench.
X But Games will be played in the market as they trade them like a commodity.
No way to comfort all people, some of the statements I see are outrageous.
Gaslighting is when folks try and convince others that what they see isn't what they saw. It is now rampant in society and with AI bots on the rise it most likely won't get better anytime soon and will make message boards unreadable, now we are seeing the beginnings of that in play here. Some Folks argue just to argue. The shorts have 20.3 Million reasons to try and gaslight those shares from your account.
Don't believe your Lying Eyes.

On the horizon I see 3 things of interest, the Volume has dropped which is not good for the shorts, T+1 is coming in 3 Weeks, that may be the reason for the volume as the MM's/Brokers begin to adjust as they will lose 1 day of juggling (not sure), Shareholders meeting is in a week and a half. Hopefully Luke Zimmerman (with MZ) will assist in gathering some of the outlandish short accusations so that Lebby can incorporate that info nonchalantly into his presentation for clarification. I'm looking forward to the lab tour as well and meeting the new talent. The gas lighters will also try and tell folks what we see and here at the SHM was not real, they have 20.3 million reasons to muddy the water.
A number of other hedge funds also recently made changes to their positions in LWLG. SG Americas Securities LLC increased its holdings in shares of Lightwave Logic by 364.5% during the 4th quarter. SG Americas Securities LLC now owns 409,213 shares of the company’s stock worth $2,038,000 after acquiring an additional 321,123 shares during the last quarter. I know they will tell us it doesn't matter, oh and it looks like a little over 25% of the shares are now in the institution's hands, and on its way to 50% guys.
X Fab(ulous) don't forget about the Patents.
Right place at the right time.
A Picture is worth 1,000 words. Look, think, then look and think again.
Hopefully this will display, if not here is a link.

Expenses smoking gun. "Research and development efforts; the rate at which we can, directly or through arrangements with original equipment manufacturers"
X. Wow, I like it and said so, the bulk of development is off the books and being covered by outside forces,, in other words we can not see that. Those are not Lighwave logic direct expenses.
Their engineers and expenses are being covered by the big guys,, the tier 1s.
Good news everywhere I looked.
Cool cool cool.
The shorts will parse words, I knew it. Nice, nice nice.
"through arrangements with original equipment manufacturers" yup. Comprende?
I still say that LWLG will be taken over.
Ok, here is a yawned post.....
Shorts or purported longs say something along the lines of that and repeat the lines, of the shorts BS, 42 times, yawn,,, funny but " X is stupid and is a poopy head" , relpy X is not a poopy head, I mean really? (Substitute for X FOR Lebby)
We are good, low volume is not good for the shorts to cover, yawn. Many things are going on in the 'real world' of business, not up down, trading.
X.
It is real and happening. All good.
Silicon photonics is maxed out. AI is here, either we believe that lightwaves polymer can triple the speed of it with 1/10 the power or not.
Yawn, I do.
Watch some may opine with other companies examples that did this or that. To quote Elon " I don't care about other companies" Go F themselves, you can even use NVDA in there.

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.

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?

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.

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.
