Everything is fine. I mean, why else would a 15 year start-up buy it's ex-competitor patents?
Nah, no short for me. Gotta have brass to short a $1 stock.
Just interested in the technology and keeping an eye on the stock price. Occasionally turn to the board for info only to find out the next big thing is right around the corner... corner after corner. Always. So many excuses other than not delivering on product and revenue.
They would not have just raised more money the other day if big things were on the horizon-- the modulator partner would have situated that via a stake in the company rather than dilution at the shareholders expense.
I hold true to my statement: I'll buy this if the goods ever become ready. I'd rather buy at $3 than hold at $1
The positively and ignorance is mind numbing. A deflated share price is attributed to shorts and stock manipulation rather than poor business execution.
Until lwlg has something, they have nothing.
I would rather buy this at $3 and ride a known positive wave than sit at $1 and drift for weeks and weeks and weeks with the unknowns.
Yes. Dead money is the term.
It would be awesome to see them succeed.
About to listen to the cc now. Given the EFFECT on the s3 was announced days before the meeting I was expecting some sort of announcement regarding a production run or some other key element...
Dang, lwlg will hire me and cut me checks / issue shares if I simply believe in the tech?
LONG LIVE LWLG. I LOVE LWLG. BEST TECH EVERRRRR
We should ask them to forgo compensation and do it for the love of the tech. I'm sure they'd be happy to stick around.
Look a little deeper for what?
Raising money is not an issue for lwlg.
They issued 400k shares in April 2018 alone.
Attracting a savvy partner is their issue. Getting traction is their problem.
Lebby won an award at the conference he hosts. Gtfo.
I remember on lebby first cc he spoke about getting away from LP financial.
When is lebby going to BUY shares? Anyone with shares has spent more money on lwlg than the lwlg ceo. He likes cashing your checks though.
That dude loves glasses. Has a page dedicated to wearing vintage glasses.
There are no solid updates. They're still messing with their new lab. Still tweaking the customer device. They issued a lot of shares the last few months.
Hope they pull this off.
Just read the 10q. Sounds like nothing new for another 6 weeks
Well said, especially in regards to financing
Geez. I'm eyeing an entry but the weekly and monthly charts haven't looked so bad in a while.
It's trying to bounce back to MA while showing overall downtrend.
Ergh.
A bit too shaky of an investment thesis for me.
Best of luck to you.
'before customer evaluations can begin'.
The evaluations have yet to be made. You've come to the conclusion they are positive.
This is just... inaccurate.
How have you come to the conclusion the customer evaluations are positive? What metric was used?
Thanks
It appears as if your fingers typed 'I currently don't own LWLG shares'.
Will agree 1% shares short has zero affect on pps.
Temporary implies short term. There has been nothing temporary with Lightwave besides CEO's and a sub $2 share price.
1% of shares are short. There is little money to be made shorting a sub $1.50 stock especially when there are so many different opportunities.
Yeesh. That is one fugly chart. Pushing lower on volume eyeing $1
Given that shorts manipulate the price lower ( repeatedly buying and selling at a lower price for an overall loss? -Not sure how your scenario works) Then surely longs can manipulate the price higher....
Shorting is simply the opposite bet of being long. There is no timing of the short to hide their numbers in a far off short figure report. When the stock pops, they short just as you buy shares when the price dips.
Rambos- Happy Birthday, enjoy Florida. As the only poster worth the free click, thank you.
The full quote was probably fasten your seat belts because the pps will slide when the floor falls through; hold on to your hats because it will be left in the air as the pps rides down.
Starting the day with lumentum buying oclaro.
Photonics on the up.
$lwlg?
Reading this board is great, though @bagholderquotes on twitter is much better.
"How do we allow this kind of false information to be even posted?"
"...if they had a paid promotion and we got 1000 people to purchase say 5000 shares, given the lack of actual shares available to purchase, the share price would jump above 10 really quickly."
Gold.
Photonic stocks are up overall due to the rebalance of the S&P.
$LWLG left behind....
The bid has been getting WHACKED for WEEKS. That 75k is going to stick around because hardly anyone is buying. The pps goes down on 3,500 shares and up on 200 shares.
Someone is continuously feeding the bid at a price higher than the current pps. Yes, games are being played. This particular game has been played on this stock for over 5 years.
Cmon x. I know you can see it.
Buddy, if what you say were 51% true the price would not currently be sitting at $1.12 with downward pressure.
There are too many unkowns at this point, hence the share price.
Hello, the 'year end tax loss' would be the 31st of December (or the 29th for 2017).
While the letter was not negative, it certainly was not extremely positive. No concrete announcements were made other than they expect to get their devices back to test in house before EOY 2017.
They basically said nothing is really going to happen for 2-3 months and the PPS has been trying to slip for weeks, just needed the volume to follow suit.
I suppose if one were looking at a bar chart, that is the numbers they would see. If one were looking at a candle chart, they would know the price reached $1.86 when the massive short position of 700+k shares was created in a period that exchanged nearly 6 million shares.
Thanks for admitting the shorts have been correct since May regarding price per share. I don't believe they made nearly as much money as they expected.
It should be noted the 25 gig device was announced on 4/26 while the massive short position was created between 5/15 and 5/30. Also of note, the 10q was released 5/15.
I do like how the price is holding above $1 as LWLG historically has not preformed well in December. Hopefully the market doesn't decide to correct next year.
Glad to know Fred is still around, quiet dude.
Where's the volume? Everyone is playing with their cryptocoins.
Fulbirt, waiting on LWLG.
And to the person asking about the lwlg shares being bought at the end of the day: It's been happening for 5+ years. SEC does not care. Use it to your advantage.
New short interest figures out due tonight with roughly 850k shares traded in the period as the price per share high reached $1.41 and stretched low as $1.26.
Previous short interest figures were reported at 514,300, down from 781,300.
Rambos, my favorite poster.
I'm waiting for 1.15.
Where in the Northeast do you originate, PA?
Dumb question...
Lightwave is consolidating to one large facility in Colorado.
By the reading of the PR, the Delaware operations will be shut down.
-What happens to the employees, do they all move out west? Do they buy property? Rent? Does Lightwave subsidize housing? TravEl expenses?
How many employees are transfering?
How many employees do they have in general?
Geez.
Re: ProV. Was waiting for someone else to make this connecton.
Couldn't make the Turpin connection either. Tried but couldn't... doesn't mean there isn't one though ;)
Excited for the new lease and the terms of the contract. Alao like the length of the contract.
Looking for a materials announcement in the next few weeks.
Expect a new round of funding in the next 60 days.
2018.
OF COURSE they're closing out their position, their bet was the stock would decline.
They were correct.
Hopefully this bit of news will help clear out the large seller.
I know, so misled.
The object is to have the price go up as the short interest goes down, not the opposite.
Love the tech, things aren't happening imminently though I expect to hear from the company 2 more times before eoy.
Should be fun.
Be well, be good to yourselves.
As you know, new short interest figures are out tonight. Numbers were up compared to last report,
As you know.
Makes me think of this widely attributed Mark Twain statement:
It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.
Best of luck to all. The trend is your friend.
When someone without shares is looking to buy shares on the open market, the price goes off at the ask. When someone with shares is looking to sell their shares, the price goes off at the bid.
For the past 2 weeks someone has been propping up the price with large bids, scooping up the shares the seller is... selling. I find this odd because they could scoop up the same 1.35 shares for 1.25 or 1.15 if they wanted to. But they aren't. ? It's almost like the seller will only sell in the 1.30s and we can't move higher until the seller is depleted.
On to your question. On occasion, someone keeps putting in bid's higher than the current price per share causing the pps to go up even though it was still a sell.
This would make sense if there was high volatility and shares were scarce, but this does not seem to be the case. If shares were scare this would be trading much higher on much higher volume.
Shorts don't 'betray', they simply feel a stock is over valued and act accorsingly versus thinking a stock is undervalued and acting accordingly.
Both sets of people look at the same information presented and take a risk.
Most recent short interest report released Tuesday shows SI is up prior to last.
The right shoulder of the pattern is starting to form.
LWLG historically has a terrible November/December.
A heavy seller is being met by a heavy buyer. Currently have a low bid in at the support $1.28. Next week should be interesting.
Don't fight the trend.
The trend is your friend.
