I have wondered about why a company wouldn't just sell in the open market to raise money - maybe someone with more experience can shed some light on that fact. That might create a lot of uncertainty, at least the agreements with cs spell out (short term at least) limits on how much dilution is coming.
As far as the shares that have been given to Ben, my guess is that those shares weren't all his to keep. Wouldn't it make sense that there is / was an understanding that he would spread those shares around to get in newsletters. Dont all of the disclaimers say that a third party gave them the shares? It could have been him and or cs paying them. Youve done far more dd into the paper trail but my guess is that there are lots of hidden signs and rabbit holes on that trail that if we actually knew the truth, we might all feel a little better.
If I recall, the site said the requirement was 120 trades in a rolling 12 mo period.
Yep, when I searched it on the site it gave me a number to call. Thanks.
Thanks, I'll have to figure out what I need to do to upgrade.
I didn't mean flippers as a bad thing, I tried to do it myself but don't really have control over my schedule to be able to do it and got burned, plus fidelity makes it more inconvenient (you have to call in any penny stock trades over 10,000 shares.) I'm jealous of the discipline and skills that some of you have. Do I wish everyone would buy and hold? Yeah, of course, well at least until I sell ; )
You said this:
"Yea, looking for more then a dollar or two this year is a bit high IMO. And in ten years Kraig will have been acquired, at least partly by a larger conglomerate. A company doesn't have to offer more then 4 bucks to put Kim pretty high into the 500 richest list."
I like how you said partly - I can't help but believe that while spider silk is his main focus, that Kim truly intends for Kraig Labs to become a diverse biotech company and already has other ideas.
What does "ignoring" actually accomplish? I tried it and it still see everything. I think we just need a self imposed ban on feeding the trolls.
looks like some flippers hit their target price. Man, I wish I had that kind of discipline and time. Just a guess, but makes sense that for folks who bought back in from .105-.125 recently would be happy with 20%ish gains and wait to buy on anohter pullback. Hope I'm wrong and we pick back up never to look back!
Why would they not want to tell the shareholders of sial and sgmo to know this?
very excited for you all who hung in there!
To those of you who have been in this the whole time, does anyone know if the members of the business advisory board have financed the company at all in the past? Looking at those three guys it's mind blowing that there hasn't already been a jv announced. Can you imagine what their combined contact database must look like?
research kblb eddie? Eddie, why are you telling people on other boards to research kblb when you're too lazy to read a few lines and they're gonna come over here and see all your ramblings? Good move on that other stock though. I got tons of spam on it from townhall (never ever ever give your email address to anything affiliated with that site, the most spam ever) but thought that since it was all about bs news it couldn't go up but man did it ever!
Maybe you should take your own advice and research kblb instead of just the "are we there yet, are we there yet, i gotta pee dad" posts
Eddie on other board:
"find something else do research on kblb this ---- is headed to the dump the pump is over."
there was a forward split so your .35 would translate into 10 shares of .035 .
I guess we shouldn't look for any news to come out until at least a week from now so they (calm seas) can get their shares on the cheap - then look out (hopefully!)
which site is that from? Can you post the disclaimer?
Ok, I understand what your saying but is NITE really setting the price or is it just an order that's been placed with that as the ask. For instance, most of the time, if I place a sell order in my fidelity account it is routed through nite, if nite shows up as .15 on the ask and I put in a sell order for .145 i can almost instantly see the change so it really isn't nite on the ask, it's me. Can someone please enlighten me or is this talk of mm games the same as the short squeezes that everyone in tanking stocks hopes for.
nice move! i really felt the urge to sell bf the cc ut for some reason thought it'd be different this time . . .
With all due respect, do fundamentals apply to a company that is not generating any revenue?
someone or a few of them with low pps avg are dumping it seems - and only bargain hunters on the buy. Such a drop on so little relative volume. Is this ship sunk?
Someone on here mentioned that you can usually catch him around 9. If it bugs you enough to post repeatedly about it on here, why not take a minute to call him. Then you can pass it along to us.
Well, when I am projecting completion of a project if it is under six months I NEVER say it's going to take about two months etc, I would say nine weeks etc. I'm sure others can say the same. Or, in your personal life, how about when someone is pregnant? They don't start using months until their a good ways in right? Why are we arguing about this? The bottom line is that they made no specific claims. We're gonna get eddie all riled up.
people refer to periods of time that long in terms of weeks all the time.
Right, but it doesn't give any specific number it just says "in the coming weeks." If they had a specific time frame they would have mentioned it - probably even added a little to it to be safe but they didn't. I don't want to argue about it I just don't think we should be putting labels on the whole situation by saying they were late.
I've got an idea edddie, why don't you call him and ask?
The scientist I spoke with said that for the ones they work on it takes an average of 11 weeks. I didn't say it takes 11 weeks every time but I am simply trying to say that Kim never gave an estimated date of arrival and sigma wasn't late like several posts have alluded to. That's all. Just like we shouldn't be freaking out if there's no zf result news for the rest of the summer because he didn't say anything other than there should be some breakthroughs to announce by the fall.
I just re read both of the pr's from april and both just announce the signing, no mention of time frame.
Okay, but what is the definition of "late?" Was there ever a timeline given on the delivery of the zf's? I recall them making the announcement that a deal had been struck but no dates were given for expected delivery. As I posted, I called Sigma and the person I got directed to had just worked with zf's for use on humans and told me that the average delivery time was 11 weeks. So, if a deal was struck 4/11 that would put delivery at 6/20. Now, in response to my post ZF (who's dd we all appreciate) gave a plausible explanation as to why the zf for humans would take longer but to my knowledge no one ever posted any eta. I think we'll hear news unrelated to the zf's first.
Didn't you "know" some big new was coming out recently that was going to send it back to .26?
Had seen them before, if you look at the graph on their site, they're about where we are in the sense that they are only projecting that they'll have pure spider silk. They seem to be referring to their current product as spider silk but it really isn't.
Their blog (which hasn't been updated since december) mentions kraig, it also features an audio clip of dr. kaplan being interviewed, and look where he is now!
hopefully it does, and stays for a bit so we can buy more shares.
Eddie, did you listen to the conference call? If they didn't announce zf results this week but did announce a partnership for commercialization of the monster silk would you still be pouting? If nothing is announced this week will you promise to sell your shares?
That would be great, I'm going to try to hold on through the summer. If I need some cash, I'll examine which position to take it from but eiter way I'm not going to be crying about it.
Um, the same reason they waited to announce the previous results. Only a moron would expect them to make an announcement about something that hasn't been verified. Why are you so hung up on this? There are so many other things that they can and will announce before that, you know like commercialization of Gen 1, partnerships etc. You talk about earnings - that's where they can actually make some money soon. Again, show me where in the cc he said they would announce results by the end of this week?
OF COURSE YOU WILL BUT PLEASE DONT USE BASELESS CLAIMS TO TRY AND SCARE PEOPLE HERE.
MAYBE WE NEED TO TYPE IN ALL CAPS FOR YOU TO HEAR US. CAN YOU TELL ME AT WHICH POINT IN THE CC KIM SAID THEY WOULD BE ANNOUNCING RESULTS IN A WEEK OR EVEN TWO? I DIDN'T THINK SO.
You aren't making any sense. Please, by all means, sell your position and move on. Night night.
Not sure what your game is but you obviously want to cause confusion. He clearly stated at about 4 minutes into the call that "if all goes well with the micro injections which we plan to do next week then by fall we should be in a position to announce some additional breakthroughs." So, why don't you give me your source?
I was just saying that it benefits no one for us to set unrealistic expectations like Eddie's in that post. There is plenty of potential news in the pipeline so I can wait till fall if need be.
Are you sure he said that they would ANNOUNCE results in one or two weeks? I didn't re listen to the whole thing but definitely heard him say that they should be announcing some breakthroughs by the fall.
I think that the market for gen 1 would be in the athletic and outdoors market. Which is fashion as well - think of all the kids wearing north face or mountain hardwaear gear in suburban and even urban schools. Think silk long johns, sock liners (for skiing hiking etc.) There are tons of applications Instead of imagining yourself in Macy's, try Cabela's or BassPro. imho.
