I never said the RS would cause the short squeeze. It’s the fact the trch will be no more. All shares will become MMAT. so all shares need to be accounted for.
Ina RS or even a FS the value of everything stays the same. The only downside of a RS is the negative stigma that goes with it. But a 1:2 is not much at all. Once the price start running up because the shorts being forced to buy. People will catch on.
But the price will start off at double. Should be around $9-$10 Monday
All shares have to be accounted for. So any borrowed shares have to be replaced. Trch no longer exists. Books need to be balanced. It’s now a new company.
My understanding is shorts just lost 2 days to cover. And now there screwed.
On the contrary. I can’t remember the last time I bought more shares of KBLB. I already have twice as many shares as I thought I ever would.
I just rushed my post. Premature sendifaction.
10:41 and 19 seconds
Central Time zone. Is that specific enough for you. I seen it plain as day on my IHub app.
At 10:19:41 “just” today. To be clear. LMFAO
So a few out of thousands of companies is many? wow! Really??? Name 1% of the thousands and I’ll agree with u.
Either way I’m invested in one of them.
And just the simple fact that the price has been well above where it was APPROXIMATELY 4 years, and holding well above that point. Shows that there is indeed progress that investors believe in.
If we hadn’t fallen from .50 I think most would be completely satisfied with where we r sitting now. It’s that fall that gets into peoples heads. It’s like driving a Ferrari and now you have to downgrade to a Cadillac, so everyone forgets they were driving a clunker long before the Ferrari.
Actually no. In June 2016 we were below.02. So less then 4 years.
Oh I’m sorry 4 years and 1 month. Wow!
FACT! UP OVER 700% IN 4 YEARS! Not many companies can say that.
wow! I have more shares then he sold.
Pretty sure I’ve seen it. There is also plenty of 3rd party variation.
“a questioned was asked and answered.. “
“theres always an answer...and you got mine.”
All I got from u was I don’t know wait and see. Followed by another question. This is not an answer
“spiber is right around the corner and its coming from their $50 mil state of the art facility in thailand...kblb is right around the corner and coming from their thousands of dollars shed in vietnam..”
Can u tell me if they are manufacturing high strength textiles or just huge vats of goo? U can’t answer that either. Likely there on a different playing field playing a different sport.
“i can and i did...and there are many clear reasons for it...”
In your humble opinion.
“they present a business plan to potential investors and get funded for hundreds of millions of dollars...and thats how you characterize it...”
All I know is they started out with the intent to make spider silk and now they make goo and possibly goo products. So spyber got money for one thing and then did another. After that the investors are in so deep they have to keep dishing out the money. Or take a huge loss.
Kim started out with the intent to make spider silk and that’s what he did.
Spyber has been around a long time with a Sh!t ton more money then Kim and they still aren’t selling spider silk. But my argument wasn’t that KBLB is better. Just that spyder is no further ahead in the spider silk game then KBLB. And possibly not even in the spider silk business anymore.
Just trying to keep the comparisons on the same playing field. Because they don’t appear to be even on the same continent. U know d@m well the questions are rhetorical. Because there is no answer. Everything‘s right around the corner for both companies. until one actually gets to the corner you can’t say which one is in the lead or is better. The only thing spyber has proven is they have great begging skills.
Yes, but spyder is apparently so much better. So I figured they had something to show for it. Seems to me that there investors are also still waiting for them to produce high strength spider silk.
Also where can I go to purchase some high strength spider silk from them?
Is he helping make major decisions regarding the future of the company. Probably not. So no he is not a top level guy.
That sounds like a good thing to me. Finally moving out of R&D and getting to production!!!
When is the last time u saw DuPont or Apple put out a PR because some employee was let go? Unless it’s a top level executive.
After reading Dr Kane’s linked in account about his time at KBLB. I would say he is no longer necessary. He wrote up all the protocols and SOPs. We know they achieved pure spider silk and a great new technology for gene manipulation. He most likely wanted a new challenge. And given all he achieved at KBLB. He will likely have his pick of jobs.
Without knowing the circumstances of his departure. It’s pretty hard to determine much of anything
Also no company has ever failed because and employee quit. No matter how good the employee was.
I get that it’s possible. But the likelihood of it is low. Hell I have shares at $.25. But most of my shares r in the single digits. And if you bought accross the entire 10 years as many have suggested they would average out. Most likely.
If I sell now. I will have to pay taxes on a gain. How could anyone who has been here for 10 years be selling for a loss. We are well above the 10 year average.
Wow nice day. I hadn’t had a chance to look all afternoon. Crazy thing is my E*TRADE isn’t giving me credit for the rise in share price. In one area it show .1209 and in another it shows .1399. Anyone every seen that before?
I will say. Kim definitely isn’t the best person to be spear heading this company. He is a tech guy. I guarantee he over analyzes everything. And he has no manufacturing experience of any kind.
But he is what we got. I think he can get us there. But there are some who could have done it faster. This of coarse is assuming that there weren’t many technical obstacles to overcome before we were truly ready. As some of the PR have indicated.
Something has to be brewing. I doubt that all this buying is just some nice investor,that know no more than we do, trying to hold the price up for poor old Kim
I’m sure it will. That statement will be true for everything until the end of all time.
But we know the market KBLB is going for. We have been given stats on our fibers. Stats that indicate it will be very usable in the tech market. Has spiber said anything other then spider DNA that would make them direct competition? Real question.
Because I am unaware of any statement. I admit I haven’t read every word from spiber. But based on what I have and have also heard disused on this board. I don’t think they have said anything to definitively say that they are competition for KBLB in the tech textiles sector.
Maybe they are maybe not. But as far as I know. They are not.
If there are just making women’s underwear. What reason is there to compare them to KBLB. If we’re just comparing any mundane material. Then Kim was beaten 1000s of years ago.
As far as I’m concerned. If spiber isn’t making high end technical textiles that are comparable with KBLB. Then anything they do is irrelevant. Nothing more then a novelty to say it has spider dna.
So what’s the point of posting at all? The whole reason for a message board is to convey knowledge, ideas, and opinions. All to discuss.
So, you are say that at this point in time. It is impossible for you to have an opinion. Weird I thought we could all have opinions about anything all the time.
All I am stating is that saying 70% decline due to real investors being scared is not even close to a true statement. I would be willing to bet that more long term investors were selling on the way up then on the way down. I would also bet that 75% of the total volume that moved during this roller coaster ride was due to traders trading.
That being said. Am I happy with all the decisions Kim has made. Big fat no. Do I blame Kim for everything that has gone wrong over the last 6-9months. No. Covid has effect just about every company in the world in a negative way. Out of anyone’s control.
We were under a nickel 2 years ago. Depending where u choose to pick from we are double, triple, even quadruple where we were 2 years ago. I think that’s a better indication of how the true investors feel. Not a few people on this message board stating they’ve sold half or all there shares.
I’ve been reading this board a lot less lately. I find it helps me feel a little better about the state of things. I will be upset when Kim closes the door. But for now the lights are still on Kim is still pushing forward. And we have a revolutionary product.
I would say either A or D.
It’s go big or go home time!
I would be willing to bet that traders, not investors, had more to do with the rise to $.50 and fall to where we are today. We are sitting significantly higher then we were in early 2019. More than double. I think that’s a better reflection of what actual investors think. So I don’t think your statement is as accurate as u may think. 70% is definitely not all due to real investors. Meaning people who buy to hold. Not buy to flip in a short time frame.
Why not. Every one else is doing it. We have been having constant supply problems with our vendors. Always the same excuse. It will probably get worse before it gets better.
The same thing happened a few weeks ago except on the ask side. This time it’s happened on the buy side. A few times and by different MMs. I don’t recall ever seeing it happen on the bid with this stock. So it may have some significance. Manipulation or not. There seem to be multiple people trying to keep the price from falling. I feel that’s a good thing. Should help keep the split lower.
Since I don’t post often I’m also gonna ask. Where has es1 been? I would like to know how he feels about the current state of things.
As far as KBLBs future. What would u say your over all outlook is currently? My biggest fear at this point is they will push more on the US production and less in Vietnam. now that they have achieved pure spider silk. Which will only draw this out longer.
I’ll be happy as long as I’m never in the red again. And we don’t decline much from here. For the most part. I don’t have time to trade and watch everyday. I like that right now I can sell some shares at a small profit at any point if needed.
It would be great if you shared what you know. R we talking about just waiting longer here or are we talking about pull out and buy back in at a better price. Give us something.
I think they are hoping to raise the share price before the RS. I think Kim giving up his voting shares is the beginning of them getting the price up. At least I hope.
