"While I truly appreciate you keeping such a great watch over what I say now and what I have said in the past, understand that I always say IMHO or JMHO or "I believe," or "I think.""
I don't see how IMHO and JMHO can apply to "Ben told me..."?! That's another reason why I take everything with a grain of salt...
Hey Banana, few days before the newsletter you had spoken to your good friend Ben and you told us:
"Also, Ben said to expect some PR's between now and the newsletter. He said the newsletter will mostly focus on Vietnam. He wanted me to mention that one or two of the upcoming PR's may be mundane, just revealing another piece or two of the puzzle. He said that these pieces of the puzzle are important. Therefore, we should not underestimate the importance of these PR's."
Where are the other PRs promissed before the newsletter?
Seems that Ben is just as reliable as the forward looking statements we get from Kim and John!!!!
"In 2010 I expected this would be a dollar by now.
After a few months of reading any learning what I could I realized that producing this domestically would not work without a military contract."
So, anybody that start a silk company needs a military contract first?..??? Ridiculous! And why is that? Is it because the Company cannot demonstrate the superior properties of its product to attract an investor willing to put the capital it needs to produce commercially??? Looks awfully like it...
Several years ago I indicated that masse production was key, that without sales this would go nowhere, that if it did not do this within 6 or 7 years, this company would most likely fail and this investment would worth nothing...I'm we are getting very close to that undesirable milestone...
Thank you Yankee, newsletter will hopefully provide some good information on the army contract, VN and as well as the current state of production and result in a positive impact on the share price.
I'm also interested to know what is happening with discussions with other potential clients...but maybe not, if it is going to be presented as forward looking statements.
Looks like people are not putting much faith in the upcoming newsletter! Wonder why...actually not!
Is Kim finally going to push this Company on the uptrend or will he again put so much gravy on the plate that we don't even know if there is something to eat?!!!!
Wow that's a dream allright! But nice...
Wow another f...in news to tell us that everything is getting bigger yet, everything is delayed!!!!
"He, like us, is trying to piece the puzzle together."
Precisely, that's why I don't give too much attention to the information he might give us...
No not really, if you said that the information is coming from John or Kim, I would expect confirmation from the PRs and the Newsletter!
Thanks Bob for the info, but will take it with a caviat, given that this is coming from Ben...
"...and some want exact timelines."
So what are you saying? Our business is approximate? Its not bound to specific timelines? Should we operate upon the drift of the wind, only on sunny days and perhaps only when Kim wakes up on the right side of the bed?
I wouldn't count on a CC unless there were several major announcements to be made, ie Vietnam central gvt approval, collaborative arrangement with Vietnam enterprise, second phase of army contract...
Yank, I would think the announcement would be made by KBLB alone as WM does not have share holders to inform! However, WM will certainly be mentionned as the major collaborator...
I think there is a few news pending!
(I can't be wrong with this statement, for sure!)
And technically even if you add silk to the Pho it would still be eatable! As for the taste, I really don't know?
Imagine adding an antivirus in the KBLB special silk and just throw in the Pho soup! Wouldn't that just be great for disease control?!
No, wait! Maybe Pho'nm for Silk!
Or maybe Silk'n Nam???
What? Would you prefer Pho Silk???
I love that!!!:O)
It really depends on the search tool!
I know that Kraig sounds like something like a "List" but really, imagine all the people that type Kraig instead of "Craig"! That's free publicity!!!
What is this rambling about name changing???
The name of our Company is very distinctive and just fine!
There you gooo!
Yep! We're ready for a ride, let's Kim and John take us!!!!
Yeah Bob, we are waiting for one of your totally unbiased, bold prediction! :O)
Yep! Slow but sure start...
Sounds like you are in control of that train!
Jet, I would say that Vietnam may be revitalizing the future of their silk industry in partnering with KBLB. They are putting a lot of faith in the spider silkworm, and it will pay off!
Hopefully, we will greatly benefit from that!:O)
I wonder if the Hedge Fund Romans was referring to is watching right now...?
Thanks Truth for bringing it back, it must have been updated from the one I referenced 4 or 5 years ago on this hub!
I hope this is, as you said, one of many other news to come in a time span that will make us forget the last 6 or 7 years!
"I really think final approval is just a formality at this point."
I think the same. I don't think the Prime Minister would agree to something he knows the Central Government would not agree!
I'm chewing and digesting all this information. While I feel my stomach is getting filled, there is a substantial piece of meal still coming...my eyes are wide open!:o)
The days of hunger are almost over! Our patience will be rewarded.
I'm with you. I think that all the secrecy around the agreements is not helping, that could probably explain why there is not more noise around our Company. Although I have to say that Kim tried to have KBLB recognized for its fiber on numerous occasions (Techtextile, PNAS, and many other, it is all on our board).
"If I understood the video correctly, he states that he's achieved a line of silkworm producing 100 percent spider silk. We haven't accomplished that yet."
If I'm not mistaking Big Red or Dragon Silk has surpassed the spider silk properties. That is probably why the army is testing DS...
His farm seems to be quite modest (unless the video is not showing all) and the mulberry trees very young. He probably has not discussed large scale production with a foreign country.
As for the reeling, we must have something, somewhere, as we are providing samples???
I understand your feeling, however, I wonder if Kim and John have seen this? If so, should they not check if there is no patent breach?! Could it be possible that this company is "collaborating" with ours?
Kim the lawyer has certainly looked in to this situation...I hope!
This guy seems to be very open about his product and process! Maybe our CEO should consider opening up a little more...I know, some will say that there are probably very good reasons why we are told only what we are told!
Indeed, the video indicates that it has been tested by the army!!! So, the good news is that our DS is very likely to outperform the army expectations!
The CEO of that company seems to be very hands on and very articulate to sell his product!
Funny but this makes me feel more confident about our Company, as our business plan seems to be ahead!
Thanks imelcooler, I had never seen this video.
Is this recent? Not sure what to think of it. Seems that this company has managed to do the same thing as our Company, but does not seem to be at the same level of advancement in its process...Kim better speed up things to keep the edge.
"...and have a nice surprise this quarter."
Same here!??
