The moral of that video is do not snort more than 3 grams a day.
RIP
The IP alone should have us trading at 10 dollars a share. The business model is worth negative 9.12.Stick that in your trophy case idiot.
Walter, the day one person in the company buys a share of stock without it being given to them, I might start to care.
I believe the CTO has health issues. There are way too many senior citizens in this company and they are in serious need of young talent.
How can you trust a word of these PR's. If you can find an audio of the CC Jan 2012, listen to the horse**** that cam e out of the mouths of these guys. I told you that Marcelli is a black cat and these is a stench hanging over this company. Still wondering what expertise Tom has as well. Track his employment record and our delays with a military deal.
Have a big feeling some large shareholders are looking at attorneys now. LWLG does not pass the smell test.
At least there are no more timelines to worry about.
Man have they wasted years with awful management. THE BOD ought to resign in disgrace.
Six, the spec money might be gone for good from this market. LWLG needs a solid retail base to push the stock and we do not have it. Investors are skittish on getting in and then getting burnt. LWLG will need a huge news announcement or some instant revenue for a new wave of investor. They have been unable to keep the current price up and the roadshows seem to have been a disaster. Why they sent the two guys in charge is mind boggling as they are the least informed in the company.
Just hope the merger plans are being led by Bucci,Miller, and Pickett.
Buz, you must stop the constant whining here.
Be happy with your annual negative returns and do not rock the boat. You keep buying the stock and let management not buy a share but grant themselves a nice raise and stock options. Better communications was the drumbeat but that is now a thing of the past. Keep your mouth shut and be thrilled you are writing checks for Jim and Tom to live out west.
The truck ran over us a long time ago.
Tax selling aside, this has been an awful year for LWLG. To pay these guys in a developmental company the salaries they do and they are not even at headquarters most of the time is a fraud.
Just remind yourself as you watch this stock sink lower is JM is probably getting his bonus along with his regular paycheck this coming week.How beautiful is that.We bitch and they laugh all the eay to the bank.
I remember seeing security at the ASM thi year and I heard LWLG requested it. Wonder if they will do this year's from the inside of a tank. I will not be attending the 2013 one. Cannot stand the the thought of having to look at these guys again.
I used to caddy for some big players and they used to tell me to drop balls in tourneys and when it was high stakes. Amazing how golf can bring out the cheaters in all of us.
None of us seem to have the right answer to the questions.
The one good thing is that this board is made up of strictly investors who want to see LWLG succeed. We just have different opinions of how to get there.
On the plus side, I will wager that Opsis has been to our labs on more than one occasion. I think the science end is progressing as well as can be expected. We just wasted three years though while Marcelli sat on his hands and let the minor leagues run the show.
Six,
You profiles are scary. Except for Babu and Greenlee, you are spot on. No way Norwood was coming here as he is tenured and has a great position out in Arizona. No way he gives that up for the warm climate of Delaware. I do wonder if Marcelli ever graduated from college and also some of his other credentials.
We have two major things going for the company. Not knowing where the SLM stands, Michelson and the possible merger are at the forefront. If we fail on both, I do not want to think where the PPS will be . No one will want to invest here.
Buz,
Please lay off the bashing. It is counterproductive to what is going on with the company(lol).
Guess it took you five more days to join the club. Some of us are upset because we feel deceived. There is not a purpose to get the stock lower. I am long over 70,000 shares and just see no change. I would not be upset if this was a recent investment. When you have over 48 months of participation and the stock price is the same as in 2008, something is amiss.
I do not give a **** if they have 5 labs running. They need skilled business people to handle the delicate parts of getting the biz off the ground. We are stuck with two people whose business experience leaves a lot to be desired. Forget Tom's experience running the navy. This is a whole different animal.
The BOD has a responsibility to put the best team forward. We are four years running and nothing but delays and excuses.
86, what are the chances my letters make it to the right people.I am sure the garbage guy will have a good time reading them from the back of the truck.
Maybe we should put Cordevano in charge of this mess.
If Tom was new to this game, I would be willing to cut him some slack. However he has been associated with LWLG for years and his promises of open shareholder communication has been troubling. The website is a joke, the timelines continually missed and the future is very uncertain. I do not give a **** what they say at the meetings anymore. The garbage last January was enought to seal the deal on these guys. I cannot believe Miller and Fred have let these guys call the shots. I am thinking that the ongoing talk of a acquisition is not Tom's call or Marcelli. They do not have the expertise to bring that to fruition.
Just hope Miller or Leonberger are still on board. Those are the only dots to connect. Babu and Charles are a close second.
Let us all play connect the dots 2013

Unless we see a rapid acceleration in the PPS by the end of this week, LWLG has been a dud from a shareholder's perspective. I believe the PPS is the best measuring stick and the market has determined that we are not a good bet. Let us hope from this day forward that management can get it right or the BOD has the balls to put in the proper team to do the job.
I just checked the board to see if they put a PR out. Figure this would be the perfect day for IR to earn their keep.
I thought 2011 was our year.
Yes I am the same RickMasters from the now forgotten Yahoo board. Grumpy is not the term I would use Snez. Just see a lot of potential here and not the right management team in place. Zelibor was not the person I would have replaced Jim with. We just switched musical chairs.
Some of us have done a lot of DD and cannot believe we are sitting in the same spot afeter being invested here for years.Do not forget that Marcelli and Zelibor get paid and will not lose if LWLG fails.Shareholders do not suffer the same fate.
Bucci is Conn.based as well as Leonberger. Miller is from Wilmington,De.. Zelibor and Marcelli are from Colorado.Eaton,Babu,and Charles are concentrated at the lab.
Bucci does have skin in the game. Fasick does as well. The others I believe are all option based.
As to some on this board who believe all I do is abuse, I can guarantee you that I have spent more time digging for info and corresponding with others then 99.9% of the posters here. I have also brought in a slew of investors. That is something I am not proud of.
May 2,2012-Admiral Z takes the helm from Billy Bob Thornton-PPS 1.30
Dec 21,2012 Groundhog Day number 450 and counting-PPS 0.90
It is a crying shame we do not have an Afghani warlord on our BOD as well as some Taliban strategic investors.Too many chiefs and not enough Indians.
ZZZZZZ. No offense Proto because you mean well but you and X have been wrong on predictions and timelines as much as LWLG management and that is hard to do.
If LWLG went to 100, it would still not make up for all the mistakes and shareholder losses they have inflicted. These guys stink on the business side and that is a plain fact. When you have limited resources, you cannot afford to make consistently poor decisions. You eradicate the problem and move on. Zelibor and Marcelli could be replaced in a minute. No offense to Tom because he is a good guy, the other one is a scumbag.
X, I doubt anyone is shorting this thing. Things always fade lower when there is apathy. Get me a team that can garner attention for us on the investment side.
I attended the last 2 ASM's. I recall JM telling investors the stock is extremely undervalued in 2011. We have had basically zero news since then so why haven't any of these guys in the BOD or management ever bought a single share of stock in the open market as a sign of their confidence. Tom's answer this year to a question regarding that was garbage.
Time to gut the business side and most of the BOD. If this is the real deal, let Miller go use his contacts to get a real change here. Nothing has worked so far.
It will be tough to keep the stock over a buck going forward as the latest fuel was a nice man from Belgium who spread the word and also a pending rumor of an acquisition. Unless number 2 happens, do not expect much.
The CC last January should have been the end of both Zelibor and Marcelli but they kept their jobs due to the fact that there is only minor opposition to these guys.
Walter
They have wasted three years of valuable time by going down the wrong avenue and this is why we are here. They cannot raise any serious money on their own because they do not have a dynamic voice to lay out what they have. Marcelli was a babbling idiot and Tom turned to Miller and Eaton for over 50% of the Q&A at the 2012 ASM.
How many of the universities have panned out so far? The answer is zero although we have hope for Boulder. Where did Norwood go? No mention that it was a disaster. Making mistakes is one thing but they were constant. I do not believe we would even have a lab unless someone big spoke to these guys and said do it yourself.
Without going into specifics, I have heard some not so nice things about these guys on the business side. We need to get the science together and have someone step in to run this company. Jim and Tom are intertwined and if Jim was a zero, Tom will be in the same boat. There is a big black cloud hanging over this company.
1) Is Glasgow still with LWLG? Maybe not.
2)Does Cordevano receive a package worth six figures for doing nothing?
3)Is Turpin still with us or is he doing the night gig at Pirates of the Caribbean in Las Vegas?
4)How many of the BOD even know what day it is?
5)Does Fred Leonberger even exist or is he a holograph?
6)Does Marcelli charge employees for parking while he lives in Colorado?
I was told that security was brought in for the ASM this year. They will not need it because no one will be there this year if we can continue at this rate.
Bottom line here folks is that while we have high hopes for LWLG, this should have never gone public.
Talking to a few people, they have concluded we need some large shareholders to contact a sizable venture fund to approach management with an agreement to buy into the company. Then after a short period, you gut the business side and buy out the shareholders and go private. Face it, there has been no attempt to attract capital here and no PR as well. It is a shambles. Miller,Leonberger and others are not managers but science guys. We have no business side and that is our Achilles.
After watching the **** shit in Washington and the crooks that run our country into the ground, no one is held accountable. Osama,Piggy Clinton,Holder,1/2 the Supreme Court should be in jail for committing treason. At LWLG , no one is held accountable either and we suffer. Connect the dots and pray for a miracle with a private deal but no matter what, these guys are awful.We should have seen it after our Benghazi moment in January. Yet all of us were too stupid to sell.
One positive note is that if the Mayan prophecy holds true it will all be over Friday anyway. Then we can stop abusing these idiots for good.
Who would be the representative for LWLG to IBM?
Olson-His services are elsewhere.
Turpin-God knows where he is
Marcelli- I would rather have my airedale terrier heading that meeting up
Zelibor-see one above
Glasgow- he might be gone altogether.
Miller-the 64 million dollar question.
Eaton-lab rat
These nitwits had better close the deal or we are really behind the eight ball.
Michelson might be our saving grace.
I keep thinking about the ASM's over the past two years. Tom told us the talent here was second to none and we rivaled IBM. Check out the stock prices of both. Tom has been CEO for close to a year and we have nothing to show for it. No deals,no revenue, no anything. If the Goetz's ever start to unload their shares, we are in serious trouble.
They have basically stayed with the same management which has been awful and have tried to upgrade their testing. How Marcelli was not let go is beyond me. The BOD is a travesty. They should have looked outside the company to replace him but only flipped Tom for him.
Not sure when contracts are being renewed but I would gut 50% of the BOD and search for a new management staff if we are not revenue producing by the middle of the year. I pray to God Joe Miller is running this company. If nothing happens by 12/31, we will be sitting under 90 cents. Would not exactly call that a ringing endorsement of these guys.
I know you guys like to connect the dots but I just look at volume and share price now and I want to puke.
Oddone, I am in 100% agreement with you.
What I meant was no one will care if any of us sell and move on and I am sure the company won't either. We have bought a high risk/reward stock with a previously inept management team. The jury is out on Tom but early returns do not look promising.
I have been to the last two shareholder meetings and come away very positive only to be disgruntled in the months afterward. I wish they had chosen the private route.
Funny I want them to succeed but do not want Marcelli to recoup a dime.
Oddone, you can always sell your shares and move on.
No one will care if you are gone as is the same assumption that we can all sell and new players come in. I am as tired as you of the crap we were handed but I just feel these guys might somehow get it right and the last four years would have been for nothing. We are the John Belushi's of LWLG.
Love to see LWLG close an acquisition by year's end. Also, some sort of update from Michelson and also Leonberger. I cannot believe what a complete waste that the university route was. Inept management as it's best.
Someone is definitely propping this up over a buck to close a deal. Just close the ******* thing.
Just too slow to tell either way where we go.
I imagine Tom is going to get hit with some angry e-mails if we do not see progress very soon. I am hoping some large investors pool together to voice their concerns.
Anyone know how much a part our legal team plays in all of this?
Usually a PR is preceded by big bids
There is no interest in LWLG now as management has successfully turned the investment community into zombies. Their roadshow appears to have been awful. We are on the cusp of the Holy Grail of optical computing and the stock sits at 1.03. My biggest concern now is if the supposed partnership lead player looks across the table and sees Marcelli playing with his lego's. His next thought will be "My God, what have I done." Just pray Bucci, Miller and Leonberger are in the same room.
Whatever happened to this contract with Celestech 2010

Shareholders are a nuisance to management.
That is just a fact. I like Tom but CEO's do not like to answer to anyone. LWLG is no different that any other company. Do you think he would lose any sleep if all shareholders stopped e-mailing him with questions and concerns. I now if I was the boss I would be sleeping like a rock.
F2, I have been in LWLG as long as most here and will hold most of my shares into next year. If I could find another avenue to generate returns, I would have been gone from here. Just too much risk/reward and I am willing to live by that.
I have e-mailed Tom over the past months
He always gives a short answer in return. I think the days of leaks thru JM are long gone. A much tighter grip has been established and that is a good thing. However, the ASM comments have worn off and we sit and wait and management does not care. Either they get it right or they do not.
Very easy to get frustrated but apathy is a better term for how I feel about LWLG. Hoping we are on the right track but past mistakes have really set us back. As I keep stating, the science side can be earth shattering but bringing it to market in a developmental company is a hard task. The BOD has been awful in not staying on top of management consequently shareholders have suffered.
I
It depends what the news is.
Investors also sell on the news as well. There has been a lack of interest here as of late so unless we do not have something earth shattering, I suspect the rise will be nil but also we will not drift too much lower.
Being a leader in the defense of our country does not amount to much when you are running a developmental company. Whole different animal and the jury is still out. If LWLG does succeed, then these guys should be rewarded handsomely for their efforts. We are coming up on 12 months from the ill-fated CC that cratered the stock. Still nothing to show on the revenue or deal side.
I remain optimistic that something is coming good our way because no one has left the company. Let us see what the next six months bring.
I believe that is your best post on this board.
The wheels are in motion and you either believe Tom and the gang can get this one straight or they cannot. Just hoping Marcelli is far away from the front line on any project or deal they have going forward. I am not totally convinced they are going to pull it off but the chances for a nice score far outweigh the risks.
My biggest concern is that no one ever bought in the open market. They had plenty of chances. Guess the options are good enough and they do not take risk like the common shareholder.
If a deal does close, who becomes the CEO?
