Taking advantage of today?
Lightwave is restricted by the NDA, which was agreed to before we held the metaphorical cards.
I'm more worried about being at the mercy of Moe, Larry, and Curly.
I'd like to see Lightwave bring another LSS into the picture. That would make things interesting. They also have to replace the website. Even more importantly they need to get exposure on a grassroots level and get some retail investor attention. I sent Tom and email this week telling him that Lightwave needs to get proactive and start reaching out to the endless magazines, websites, blogs, forums ect centered around of tech, investing, and tech investing. Most would be interested in what Lightwave is doing and would print an article or interview that would reflect well on the company. Tom's answer was that he agreed and they have started working on it recently.
I've got the wheel F2. This stock practically drives itself, much like this car.
Why panic? Tom said that Gig was our only competition. That's like comparing a speed boat to a floating log.
Peter and Shawn are a great team. They're both highly knowledgeable and present themselves well. But their names don't carry any serious weight and it's not always what you know but who you. Any problems they had because of that should be solved with Mark Smith in the picture. Someone I know that was a successful investment banker on Wall Street told me that Smith did a great job raising money for Molycorp over the years. If he can do the same thing for Nio we'll be set. And it shouldn't be extremely difficult considering how much better the Niobium market is compared to the Rare Earth market.
Thank you for your posts, I kept them in the back of my mind and sold my position I picked up last month a little ahead of my break even point. The stock is down 7% from there as of right now.
The ultimate would be if some problem were to erupt at the mine in Brazil that interfered with production.
One thing I've learned in the stock market, however long I think it will take for something to happen if I double it I might be close to how long it will really take. I thought we'd be set by the end of November. That puts my theory to mean sometime in June to see them nail down a contract. I guess we'll shall see.
Welcome to the two new members of the board.
We're getting the stock at nearly half what the institutionals paid in the private placement back in September.
I bought in yesterday @ 2.28. Still doing DD, but seemed like a good buying opportunity regardless.
You guys are mixing up a trademark with a trade secret.
The downside of a patent vs trade secret is the patent will expose Indigo. This would make it easier to reverse engineer. Some tweaks of the formula could result in a comparable product. Or a company in China will rip it off altogether, they don't care about patents.
If the material is so unique there is no other like it then treating it as a "trade secret" could be a pretty damn smart move. Google went with the trade secret approach with their search engine algorithm. That is their "Indigo." That algorithm is worth billions. Intel uses them too. http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/story?id=6199526&page=1#.UWORQ0qt84w The list goes on.
When Lightwave gets bought out the lifespan of their patents play a key role in the valuation. By treating Indigo like a trade secret the life of it's proprietary use becomes potentially infinite and could be considerably more valuable.
I wrote this move off as someone who knows more than I do using good judgement.

PC, what do you think about the Bintz/Philips relationship and the 4k displays? If Lightwave has a place with this technology we should be able to connect with Philips.
Philips seems to be on the cutting edge of these displays. They recently released a 4k 3D display that doesn't require glasses (a first that I've seen).
Here is Bintz experience with Philips for anyone who hasn't been on his LinkedIn
Electron-Optic Designer
-Lead Designer for digital TV deflection unit product development program.
-Guided the Electron-optic HDTV design from prototype development in Eindhoven N.V. to mass production in Juarez Mexico of 500k units/year @ $60/unit of 32V digital TV deflection units.
Group Leader; Deflection Units PDC
-Responsible for both factory performance, and deflection unit product development programs. Managed a distributed group in Ann Arbor MI, Findley Ohio, and Juarez Mexico.
-Nominated to Philips Global executive fast track program.
You are correct. I think the holders of this stock are too smart for these games.
I was struggling with that too. I didn't catch any mention of EO Polymers. Unless I wasn't listening close enough this is pretty much the same as the retina display that Apple has had on the market for quite some time already. This 4k screen technology creates additional demands and isn't cheap. My girlfriend just bought a new Mac Book Pro and I think it was about $300 ish more for the 4k display. But if this is moving toward the new standard then materials that are faster/cheaper/use less power will become even more desirable.
Is it playing for you PC? I've still got the annoying robot up.
Either a market maker or trader trying to move us down. I saw it was only 1000 shares in the 10 cent range in both Canada and the US this morning. An effort to pick up cheaper shares. Nio needs to drum up some new investors. I think all the existing shareholders are probably close to tapped out and won't buy much on dips.
RJ, what are you feelings about posters who seem to try to mislead shareholders into selling their stock? Just a generic question, not pointing fingers.
By the way the fact that you heavily edited post 4744 and then tried to delete my post speaks volumes. So I guess you now agree that we aren't 18 months away from significant revenue? I'll be sure to wait 15 minutes to reply in the future so you can't back pedal to save face.
It's right in the beginning of the Q&A. Someone asked how long do you think it will be until the company has a significant stream of revenue. Tom says a significant stream of revenue is down the road and "I would think it's gonna be a year or so." Not 18 months.
I hate to interfere with your agenda here, but the 18 months you're talking about was in reference to discussions about the LSS only. That isn't the only source of income this company will have, if so Leonberger and Prather are wasting alot of time. And like Phil Smith said we'll have money from the LSS long before the 18 months, though not a significant stream of revenue. Any amount of money from a Fortune 100 company would create a turning point for the company and it's stock.
Tom made it clear on the call it would be about 1 year until we have significant revenue, not 18 months.
Here's a link to the chart.

It isn't showing up in my post now for some reason.
We heard you the first time.
Not to fact check you again, but where did you see that Eaton only makes 57k a year?
One thing is for sure, it will happen eventually.
Down the road, assuming ARNA is doing well, their new drugs getting through clinical phases will be icing on the cake.
Something to consider.
In Canada they have the TSX Venture Exchange, it's like the NASDAQ of mining and resources there. Nio Corp is too small to be on the exchange, but being in the mining/resource business does suffer from the sector being down. Personally, I was unaware of just how much it was down until the other day. Here's a 2 year chart.
That is quite a devastating drop. Once the sector turns around Nio Corp will lift with it, from where ever the share price is. Might provide a nice extra boost for us if the stock is doing well by that point.
You're welcome.
The question you pose is the same one I have. I don't have the experience to know how the LSS usually handles situations like this. From the sound of how unique our solution is to their problems I don't expect this will be handled in a usual manner. The nice part is it looks like it's not a matter of if but when.
Did you catch in the beginning he said he worked for Philips. Then later on answering Walter's question he mentions Philips again when discussing the progression of large opportunities. I wonder if he will exercise his contacts there?
There are many institutionals that will invest below $5. Lightwave has to be able to show that the material performs in a device. Tom says the EM device will be finished in about a month, after that he can begin to present to the majors. I think they'll listen with the credible people involved; Leonberger, Prather, Bintz, the LSS ect.
I'll get them invited to present here once they have a working device. http://philasecurities.com/
At the 38 minute mark Tom says he expects significant revenue in a year or so. Phil Smith points out there will be revenue along the way before there is significant revenue. Relative to the LSS only.
I didn't catch the time mark but I'm pretty sure Tom said it will take EM about a month to get this device working. Which will give Tom something to show the institutions. There seems to be several near term catalysts for the stock.
X is probably stuck to his chair after hearing the conference call.
I was going to get Tom about that crap website but I didn't get through on the call. I think the odds are 50/50 I'll still be able to ask the same question at the SHM.
George, just FYI, you can go to the bottom of his posts and click Report TOS Violation. Explain what is going on. Maybe IHub will kick him off as a mod and someone more deserving can have the spot.
Yes AND so we could hear from the Product Manager hired specifically to deal with the LSS. AND so we could hear about the EM/Leonberger project. Seems like common sense to delay the call.
RJ is a trader, he was pushing this stock before and not just on this board. He probably sold a good bit before the 10k and CC. Now he wants it back as cheap as possible.
Bintz is my new favorite LWLG employee. If a guy like that would leave a solid job to come to Lightwave it's because he sees something that is very real. Like I said before, I called nLight, they weren't happy to lose him.
After the CC last year we hit $3 and the company didn't have anything going on like they do now. I've never bought this stock above $1 but I would now.
They should bump out Fasick or Pickett and replace with Phil.
Oh and Bintz for CTO? hell yes
Tom did very well on the call and with answering questions.
But I think Phil had a valid point, they didn't convey the significance of developments with the LSS. It's a great talent to be able to put into words exactly what someone needs to hear. Phil obviously has that talent.
I don't even care right now, that call was exactly what I wanted.
Maybe Phil can give Tom lessons on how to effectively communicate with shareholders.
