IMO, you should have been trading around your core. There is alway the drip of the negative on this stock. My prediction is that we will see a reversal by year’s end. Use that opportunity to lighten up to whatever degree you see fit. And, then if later you see about half the price you can add some back. .. say it returns to .20-.24 and you sell at .22, then look for a reentry back below .13. Or just be happy with the profits and don’t risk more .. let the rest ride. Up to you. Some don’t want to risk more again. That’s all up to you. Just my opinion but I can’t see worse than a flash drop to 5 cents that would be bought up quickly .. with the PR today, it’s avoidable now for awhile more, I think.
Good point. Hmm .. interesting.
Gosh, who was saying that? Lol .. lasted for awhile anyway.
I added just a little here but couldn’t get a full at .0726 all or none .. I wanted at least a little .07s not to miss a good PR pop back to .09s. .. I will keep staging my buys as we go low assuming that continues. We’ll see.
Not true. We are both expressing opinions. Don’t get caught up in the slide in the sp .. fundamentals are fundamentals.
In 2016, we had no experience with the Army contract, no growth from the lab, no Vietnam, no trials and perfecting of the production processes in Vietnam … should I go on.. forget about Kim for a minute and consider the tech alone .. either the tech works for mass production or it doesn’t. You decide.
Relative to the growth in progress in the fundamentals versus May 2016, .06s are .01s and .07 are .02s now.
These are dirt cheap prices. For the progress in the fundamentals that we have now versus April 16, 2019, when we see first delivery, these prices really will be gone forever. If we can get .06s for the full round trip, I will be buying much more.
Sounds good. My forecast for clear sailing for KBLB might a little too far off then … so to speak. :)
My guess is 6 weeks to 4 months for KBLB. Don’t forget the shift on covid I predicted.. 6 weeks to 2 1/2 months from now.
Agreed. We aren’t too far off from real news.
I wrote this on April 16, 2019, a day before we went ballistic last time from .06 to .507 .. the risk reward is even better here because we know how much progress they have made on production and so the reality of a revenue stream is that much closer. An announced 1st large delivery along with substantive follow up PRs will send this north ward again. … 4x, 8x, 20x .. ??? Take your pick.
____________________________________________
Let’s talk about risk reward for this as long term spec play. Does anyone doubt potential success that can occur? Take all the delays from the past out of the equation and, for some, bias against the CEO. .... now then, assume mass production of a quality product superior in every way to silk as a drop in replacement for silk .... and assume quality and consistency in strength properties to mass produce for the military and for all the other potential opportunities that have been mentioned (I.e medical, construction, etc).
For one second, think what the share price response will be to mass production has begun... and these specific apparel makers are taking preorders. Does anyone actually think that $.75 or $1 will be resistance? When the big players come in how will the share price move?
Please don’t be foolish enough to miss this move. You can chase above .08 at a minimum or buy in now. Your choice.
It’s the classic “asymmetric trade”—where the potential payoff so far outweighs the risk that it can make overnight millionaires.

The U.S. Military Will Develop Futuristic, Special Ops "Body Suits" Using One of the Strangest Materials You've Ever Heard Of…
moth
It might look like a creature out of Star Wars, but this “super silk moth” could hold the key – and the magical DNA – to capturing a $140 billion market.
You’re looking at what we believe could be the next big biotech breakthrough.
Yes, it looks like an average silk moth.
It hatched out of a cocoon like any other silk moth… but it’s special in one critical way: This little guy created his cocoon with an incredible new kind of silk made from spider DNA.
Scientists are riveted by this new material because of its extraordinary properties…
it’s four times tougher than Kevlar…
74% stronger than steel…
absolutely bullet-proof…
and it has the elasticity and lightness of nylon.
The virtues of spider silk have been known for centuries. But until now, no one has been able to produce enough of it for industrial use.
The one time it was seriously tried, it took more than a million spiders and 70 people working for four years to make a single piece of fabric measuring 11 by 4 feet.
Not exactly cost-effective.
But now a lab in Michigan has found a way to produce spider silk another way… by inserting specific gene sequences from the golden orb-weaving spider into silkworms.
The silkworm then spins a recombinant fiber incorporating spider silk proteins.
Textiles woven from this new silk are lighter than Kevlar and not nearly as stiff as synthetic materials like high molecular weight polymers.
And unlike nylon they don't melt, making them perfect for body armor.
Imagine… all but bullet-proof special ops that can be dropped into Tehran… Damascus… even Pyongyang with the ability to move as they please for reconnaissance or retrieval…
special forces
Body armor equipped with this company’s “ballistic shootpack panels” bring our special ops closer to “Spider-Man Suits”… and they’re bringing this lab closer to exclusive defense partnerships.
These “miracle fibers” could also be extremely useful in medicine.
The human body doesn't reject this fiber like it does other materials. So the silk could be used as hair-thin sutures for nerve surgery and skin grafts.
The money has already started flowing…
This firm has landed a $1 million contract with the Army to produce a genetically modified “spider silk” for protective armor for soldiers.
Granted, it's a modest sum, but things at Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (OTCMKTS: KBLB) are progressing quickly…
The company recently announced its strongest silk to date… it’s had a breakthrough in its development cycle—creating in minutes the same amount of silk that used to take a full day to produce… it just delivered a prototype bundle of “ballistic shootpack panels” to Fort Riley for evaluation… and it’s ramped up production at its subsidiaries in Vietnam.
Investors have taken notice of these milestones… the stock better than doubled in the 6 months leading up to last fall, turning each $10,000 stake into $22,300.
How much upside do we project for a stock like this? We’re not putting a limit on it.
After all, we’re talking about a tiny company with just five employees that has the patent on a process that could make Kevlar obsolete… and disrupt the $140 billion technical fiber market.
It's a speculative play, for sure. And there are no guarantees.
But the stock is currently so cheap that you can pick up 5,000 shares for the cost of a nice dinner.
It’s the classic “asymmetric trade”—where the potential payoff so far outweighs the risk that it can make overnight millionaires.
In and of itself, is it needle moving? .. a Thursday follow up PR speaking good things on production more specifically? .. you buying?
Agreed! Soooooooooooooooo much more progress now than 5 years ago.
But, you will start your reentry around 6 cents regardless due to the chart .. correct?
“Also sounds like there are efforts underway to set up domestic production.”
Where did you see it? What would it look like? All I’ve heard is that we don’t have the infrastructure here and even the mulberry so they’d need to be able to eat something else. Thoughts?
Anything in particular?
I disagree. Things are a lot cheaper in Vietnam.
Not sure. Just know Golferman is pretty good .. assuming nothing changes the current narrative more quickly than anticipated.
Welcome done! .. almost. But don’t worry 3 more days to go.
Yeah, I know. So, it’s a catch-22 to PR anything else. Right? That was my point.
That would definitely be a serious accumulation point. imo .. we’ll see if we can get there.
I believe ‘piling on’ can be a penalty in football. .. but I guess the whistle didn’t blow yet.
Well, well, well .. the full round trace is imminent. .. how sad.
It is. But, it isn’t the kind the market wants to see. .. perhaps, silence is better at times .. it’s always a tricky one when you don’t quite have what they really want to hear about.
We could get a flash to low 5s if volume cools with no news … if so, it will be bought quickly back up to .07s I think.
3 months is the outside that I see for this paradigm shift on covid that I see coming as it continues to weaken. So, you might be right on ‘several’ but just barely. We’ll see.
Yep. Agreed.
Agreed. Good post.
Fake News! Watch and see ..
I spoke about this already last week. Two months from now .. that’s my prediction of a transformational paradigm shift on this whole thing. I am hopeful that Vietnam will also be on board. We’ll see. .. I could be off by a month.
Virus is more transmissible but getting weaker and weaker… Back to NORMAL by 2022 .. NOT new normal .. unless you find it a better normal than 2019 ... then I’m ok with ‘new normal’ terminology.

Muller’s ratchet
Muller’s ratchet is a concept given by the American Geneticist Hermann Joseph Muller. As per this concept, asexual organisms (those that do not multiply through sexual reproduction) tend to accumulate deleterious (harmful) mutations over time, which leads to the extinction of the said organism.
Generally, when an organism mutates, it only keeps useful mutations (those that help it survive) and leaves all the harmful ones. However, when there is pressure to survive, harmful mutations tend to stay.
Experts have suggested previously that Muller’s ratchet may ultimately lead the coronavirus to its extinction.
Thanks for that confirmation King B. That little extra always helps. All the best to longs!
Yeah, I might spread it out even more. … we’ll see. No promise on holding this cheap stuff. Flipping for pennies just got big % wise.
I’ll be buying this month and probably next. Spread it out. Won’t say much more. Just looking to see and hear some better reports on production before year end. All the best to longs!
Doesn’t seem like a full throated take like you normally do.
Like a two or 3 paragraphs take on how to explain what Kim said and put it in a positive light for him.
It’s kinda there I’m black and white. The only flip side that I can see is that he was hoping to run around like the CEO of Bolt Threads and pitch it as a $700m plus market cap and get the world to believe him for a while .. might have worked for a while but Covid would have still gotten in the way .. and seems like no other country to immediately expand to counter that issue. .. without covid, it might have worked if he made the rounds. Who knows just speculation obviously now.

So, I’d like your full take then. Please.
“ The last, and hopefully final, of these additional challenges is to demonstrate end product sales.”
A lot of people here as I recall wanted this or the sp would get demolished after uplist. .. so, I’m not sure if ‘demolished’ though was something less than where it is now .. but I guess so. I didn’t think Kim wanted to even do that either (I mean get on the NAZ without production going) but I guess he did. So, he was ignorant of what would happen to the sp then if the production wasn’t there or he just didn’t care. Hopefully, it’s the former. Not sure what his advisor were telling him. I guess the NAZ did the right thing for investors here .. not Kim necessarily or Maxim.
Help me out if I’m off somewhere on this.
I’m waiting for the licensing deal(s) on this:
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories tackles biggest challenge facing global silk production
ANN ARBOR, Mich., – June 29, 2020 –Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB: KBLB) (“Company”), a leading developer of spider silk based fibers, announces that it has completed the development phase of a new program targeting the largest challenge facing global silk production, viral pathogens. As reported in the Journal of Biological Control, volume 31, viral diseases can result in total annual silk production losses of as much as 32%.
Kraig Labs has developed its first immune-enhancing genetic insert, designed to create disease-resistant silkworms. The Company is now ready for its first round of transgenic creation and resistance testing. This effort was done in a parallel, and complementary, effort to the Company’s groundbreaking program developing high-performance spider silk inspired silk fibers and yarns.
Global silk production is expected to reach USD 17 billion in 2021; the economic impact of eliminating the loss from disease is a multi-billion dollar opportunity. The Company anticipates that its development of a disease resistant silkworm could be licensed across the entire global silk industry.
“Our work to enhance the disease resistance of our silkworms complements and strengths our focus in bringing our recombinant spider silk to market,” said CEO and Founder, Kim Thompson. “We believe that success in this effort will also provide significant opportunities for growth far beyond the reach of Kraig’s in-house production capacity, with licensing applications globally.”
Once proven, the Company expects to merge these disease resistance properties within its existing lines of genetically enhanced recombinant spider silks.
Fascinating!! Thanks for the intel!
