Umm, no, panic is not an indication of a rising PPS. When the line thingy on the chart moves up and to the right it's an indication of a rising PPS.
This stock tip is free (the first one always is).
Donald Trump thinks 3D printing is important?!?!?! No %£€¥!! way!!!!
Mortgage the house folks, this is a sure thing!!!
Odd that Arête is listed as JV and strategic partner. What about Materialise?
I think it's a coin flip as to whether or not this recovers.
I hope it does, I have a lot invested, averaged just shy of 17 buckeroos.
No and if you think they're withholding something until Thursday then I'll tell you right now that you will be disappointed. Read up on regulation FD (fair disclosure).
In the most recent call and transcript I proved without a doubt that Mark was not being upfront and honest wrt Arête. What else is he hiding?
I'm down 80% and have a significant amount of money invested. I probably should have planned on attending but can't at this point.
For the next call I am going to ask questions and be rather unapologetic when I do. Potential means nothing if there's no money.
Emailing Witty is useless. I'm going to email Mark and say this:
Hi Mark,
You're letting this languish.
I'll share his response if I get one.
Regards,
Walter
I think it's great that they're not letting this languish. *cough*
Yay! Another agreement! How many did they sell? For how much?!?!?!
I'm down 75%. Another stupid agreement isn't going to help.
GEORGE IS GETTING UPSET!!!
Regards,
George
Huzzah! What's interesting here, as evidenced below, is that MJC is talking out both sides of his mouth. It is what it is, I ain't skurred!
Let me repeat myself, aside from those cases where we appear to have additional validation, how do we know how many of these bluff and bolster type MOUs, JVs, ad naseum are still at play?
Regards,

From the 10k
NOTE 11 - Joint Venture
As previously reported in our Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 6, 2015, we entered into an Operating Agreement and Statement of Work with Arete Innovative Solutions LLC (“Arete”). The Operating Agreement and Statement of Work govern the operations of Arete-Sigma LLC (the "Joint Venture"), a joint venture formed by us and Arete for the purpose of pursuing business opportunities related to AM utilizing our EOS M290 or like machines, including enabling and implementing sales and manufacturing transactions. Under the Operating Agreement and Statement of Work, among other matters reported in our Form 8-K and set forth in the Operating Agreement and Statement of Work, (i) each of Sigma and Arete hold a 50% ownership interest in the Joint Venture, and (ii) the Joint Venture is managed by William F. Herman, President of Arete, subject to certain limitations. Based on the Operating Agreement, the Company holds the non-controlling interest in the Joint Venture. Therefore, the Joint Venture has not been consolidated, but rather is accounted for on the equity method of recording investments. During the year ended December 31, 2015, net operations resulted in a loss on the investment of $778. The Company intends to terminate the Joint Venture in the first half of 2016, but is continuing to pursue business opportunities related to AM utilizing the Company's EOS M290 or like machines.

From the Q4 earnings call transcript:
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Okay, we have one more question coming from Tim House [ph], a private investor. Please go ahead.
Unidentified Analyst
Hey Mark, thanks for the call. I just had a question about Arete. Is that producing any fruit, is there any revenue or pipeline or anything like that that's filling up with those guys and your machine that you have it in house?
Mark Cola
Yes, so great question. Arete Innovative Solutions and our resulting joint venture Arete Sigma was an opportunity for us to explore the contract AM side of it. We continue to remain active with Arete. Majority of the interest, and again this is more reflective of the state of the industry at the moment, the majority of that activity seems to be on the design frame in front right now, and so it hasn't resulted in contract AM revenues for us yet, but we anticipate that the changes we move through 2016.
How many of these are still active? Interactive machines was DOA. Arête is no more. It's anyone's best guess on over half of these.
MOU means nothing. The things we have validation on are great, the rest of it is crap.
Regards,
Smitty
I'm embarrassed at how much I've lost on paper at the moment. I just need this sucker to hit $17 so I can break even and feel better about life.
I bought too much at the wrong time and didn't want to dig myself a deeper hole by averaging down.
Now we wait.
Wow, effectively 5+ million traded already. Our resident stinker may be right.
I haven't seen this much action since my stint in a Mexican prison 17 years ago. Aye caramba!
Derrrr, Google?

PDF download right there on the first page.
Article on page 73 with pretty pictures too.
It's best to do that but it's certainly not required. If I had a dime for every time I forgot to take off my pants prior to pooping I'd have a buck fifty.
Goooooo SGLB!!!
My guess / hope is that they already have institutional investors lined up. As well as more revenues and contracts.
Onvo went from $2 to $13 I think then went wee wee wee all the way down. I made %400 on that bugger.
Holding onto SGLB for years though -- unless they get bought out.
All aboard the excuse caboose, choo choo!!!
Goooo team!!!
A little birdy told me that proving flights would happen in February. I checked and it is February.
He didn't tell me what year. Hopefully he meant this one. LOL!
Good luck my brothers and sisters.
#hashtag
Why are you contacting folks like this and bcc'ing Witty?
That's a bit reckless.
I still don't think they'll be successful but I am shocked that #teamostritch may be right about a few frequent posters.
Despite #teamostitch's belief, this rise in pps is artificial. I'm not saying this because I want a lower pps I'm saying this because it's true. I'd love to see 1.7c again. We will know for sure "soon".
IOW: load the boat folks, this is the last time we'll see the pps at these levels!
Gooooo Baltia!
Ahh yep. I have to be a good boy for a couple of weeks before I can post more regularly but there's really no need to. Things are slowwwww.
Despite Al's very valid points I still think things will takeoff in the long run. Metalfab, Honewell and possibly still GE and Materialise? All good stuff.
Vivek did say something about their efforts bearing fruit, I'd like to see more fruit in the short term.
Rather anemic for the past year or so but I'm more confident than not. I'm willing to wait even though I'm down 70%. I just hope I'm not wrong.
Well #teamostritch says that we should be getting good news this week. It's also someone's birthday coming up on the 13th and birthday boy predicts we will get news by then because why not, right?
My birthday's coming up in over a month, I'm sure it'll be done by then if it's not this week. You see #teamostritch I just gave us another 1.5 months usng your own sound logic, YAY!!!
Thal, our 81 year old CEO, will get it done don't worry!
Less than one more week left, YAY!!!
LOL @ the 8k and bupkis talk! This is precisely what #operationwildfire is all about! GG. None of this changes the fact that this isn't going anywhere.
I'm glad I only bet 17k. Ill take the full loss once Baltia closes their doors for good. I'm not feckless enough to throw good money after bad. 17k for me s a shirt sleeve. It hurts a little.
I cringe when I read that people are waiting for funds to clear or they hope that something happens soon because they're cash strapped and are going to school. Newsflash: the current CEO is 81 years old. The young one is trying to raise money through a crowdfunder and can't put a decent presentation together. Who knows what Barry's doing? None of it matters. This died with Igor.
TLDR for team ostritch: one more week, yay!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder what our 81 year old CEO accomplished today? I know, I know I shouldn't judge. Thal puts his suspenders on one strap at a time like the rest of us.
One more week!!!
Goooooo team ostritch!
I'm sooooo excited about having an 81 year old CEO! He'll get this bird flying for sure! If he doesn't get it done "in time" *ahem* then maybe the next CEO Barry Claire can do it in his memory as well.
Speck, prepare the posts!!!
Too soon?

Thal's no spring chicken. They should either close the doors for good or get some young, hungry blood in there.
Igor unfortunately was the epitome of "... or die trying"
I hope it was due to natural causes. I guess we will fnd out.
Godspeed Igor. Godspeed Baltia. Godspeed my balls.
Well they better hurry, there are only 364 days left. Past performance is indicative of future results when it comes to these feckless fools.
Gooooo team ostritch!!!
Woweeeee, what a great day for the stock! My $17k is now worth $1200!!! YAY!!!! And we're one day closer!!! ONE DAY!!!
I'm going to add more after I take out a second mortgage!!!
Gooooo team Ostritch!
Saving material events until the ASM? Unlawful. Trading on insider information? Unlawful as well.
Good luck, we're one day closer!!!! YAY!!!
Oh shuckydarns! Great volume and price action BING BONG BOING!!! I remember when we were all lucky to get in at .0028! Oh boy! I remember those days! Load the boat folks! Get in at these bargain basement prices! If there's one thing you should do is ignore logic.
The one thing we know with absolute certainty is that we're one day closer!!!
Yayay!!!!
One day closer and that's a fact Jack!
Oh and I think it's a positive sign that they originally planned to have the ASM at 151 then decided to vacate it. Makes perfect sense to me! It's not abrupt nor alarming at all!
#operationwildfire
Makes perfect sense that they'll withold material information for 5 more days. It's not like they completed recurrent training or chamged their catering!

Regulation FD? Fuggetaboutit!
We're one day closer to passing! One day! We will be one day closer on the 22nd as well!!!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!
Imma break open my piggybank and buy more shares! I love it!

Once the 21st comes and goes and there's no significant progess do we say emough is enough?
The 21st is only 2 weeks away!
Exclamation points and facebook posts aside, lets get this done already!
I will be astonished if they have a pass by the 21st of December (2015)!
I'd bold and underline words but I'm not going to spend the time trying to figure out how to do it.
!!!!
GODSPEED BALTIA!!!!
Was there a meeting? Yes, no, maybe so! It doesn't matter!!! BLTA is going up up up!!!
I will be at the shareholder's meeting. I'll be wearing a timfoil hat, aviation goggles with a nametag with Mark Mazur written on it.
I'll also be donning full chainmail (minus the tinfoil hat) a one handed longsword and a shield with +defense against ostritches.
See you there.
OH BOY! One more day cuz it's Thursday!!! As you point out it ain't happening on Friday!!!!
I can't wait!!!
Godspeed. Baltia.
