Good luck to all buyers. If there is "blood in the streets", be smart and take advantage of it!!! http://www.forbes.com/sites/kenrapoza/2012/05/25/buy-when-theres-blood-in-the-streets-how-contrarians-get-it-right/
BINGO!!!
The pps is getting painted by my buy radar.
Good post. I am going to flag it.
I am in the harassment camp on that one.
I love that photo of that mutant turgid transgenic keeper of the Monster SILK!!! http://www.wired.com/2010/10/silkworm-spider-silk/
We'll get there!

Agreed. The hounds are hungry!
A rumble in the jungle?
"Nature is the inspiration for everything we are doing, but it’s not the limit.” ---- Good one Kim!
I have identified "the most attractive application for this fiber". Kraig "jersey knit samples" may be undergoing rigorous testing at this very moment. Happy Holidays. ;)
Great to see such a slam dunk post Truth.
Quote:
However, for the current stage of maturity, these silk materials already have good levels of quality and consistency.We have been making jersey knit samples and will start weaving shortly. These small scale trials are key to helping identify, for Kraig Labs, areas for development for upcoming fiber production trials. We are reviewing textile properties of the samples with Kraig staff and exploring the most attractive applications for this fiber. Overall the trials are well underway and we are making good progress toward commercialization.”
Who else "stepped right up" and did some buying today. Don't look back and say. I should have bought KBLB when it was amazingly low. STEP RIGHT UP LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
We got a year-end clearance sale on KBLB. In these lyrics just substitute "going out for business" for "going out of business" and works for us. hahaha Think long term and buy them while they are cheep.
What are your thoughts on this.
Good to see you thinking long term floyd...
It is starting to look like adding shares at .0403 was a very good thing. From a long term prospective anything in single digits will look like fabulous buys. So, even if you got scared and sold out and did not take advantage of the "blood in the streets", it's a great time to start running back to the best stock to own in this decade.
Is there anyone out there who can open this? http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/inside-science/ZX8898A006S00#playing
Now that's a great post !!!
"If Kim needs the share price to be above 9 cents per share to achieve (full funds) from the S1"
Could you please explain this in more detail for the board?
You don't post often EChamp but when you do the board knows it will be of substance and quality. Thanx
I don't know. Don't think so.

General information:
SEC Form S-1
DEFINITION OF 'SEC FORM S-1'
The initial registration form for new securities required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for public companies. Any security that meets the criteria must have an S-1 filing before shares can be listed on a national exchange.
Form S-1 requires companies to provide information on the planned use of capital proceeds, detail the current business model and competition, as well provide a a brief prospectus of the planned security itself, offering price methodology, and any dilution that will occur to other listed securities. The SEC also requires the disclosure of any material business dealings between the company and its directors and outside counsel.
Form S-1 is also known as the "Registration Statement Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'SEC FORM S-1'
Investors can view S-1 filings online to perform due diligence on new offerings prior to their issue. The form is sometimes amended as material information changes or general market conditions cause a delay in the offering.
The Securities Exchange Act of 1933, often referred to as the "truth in securities" law, requires that these registration forms are filed to disclose important information upon registration of a company's securities. This helps the SEC achieve the objectives of this act, which is requiring investors to receive significant information regarding securities offered, and to prohibit fraud in the sale of the offered securities.
A less rigid registration form is the S-3, which is for companies that don't have the same ongoing reporting requirements.
I am looking forward to that as well saint. We have good people on the board. The fact that we are rather motley enhances the appeal and learning experience for me. One thing many of us have in common with the CEO is our ability to look beyond the edge of the envelope of ordinary investing, our joy in discovery, our desire to be part of enlightenment, our willingness to take bold risk in passionate pursuit of actualization of the outliers insightful observation. None of us know what's happening at the moment and I admit to occasionally being more than a little frustrated with the process but this sh*t ain't easy and I am willing take a leap of faith and "piggybac" on the brilliant people who started this journey toward a better world.
Dig it...
And agreed.
Wow. You kicked ass yesterday bananabob!!!
"Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/financial-theory/08/contrarian-investing.asp
Baron Rothschild, an 18th century British nobleman and member of the Rothschild banking family, is credited with saying that "The time to buy is when there's blood in the streets."
He should know. Rothschild made a fortune buying in the panic that followed the Battle of Waterloo against Napoleon. But that's not the whole story. The original quote is believed to be "Buy when there's blood in the streets, even if the blood is your own."
This is contrarian investing at its heart - the strongly-held belief that the worse things seem in the market, the better the opportunities are for profit.
Most people only want winners in their portfolios, but as Warren Buffett warned, "You pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus." In other words, if everyone agrees with your investment decision, then it's probably not a good one.
Going Against the Crowd
Contrarians, as the name implies, try to do the opposite of the crowd. They get excited when an otherwise good company has a sharp, but undeserved drop in share price. They swim against the current, and assume the market is usually wrong at both its extreme lows and highs. The more prices swing, the more misguided they believe the rest of the market to be. (For more on this, read Finding Profit In Troubled Stocks.)
Bad Times Make for Good Buys
Contrarian investors have historically made their best investments during times of market turmoil. In the crash of 1987, the Dow dropped 22% in one day in the U.S. In the 1973-74 bear market, the market lost 45% in about 22 months. The September 11, 2001, attacks also resulted in a market drop. The list goes on and on, but those are times when contrarians found their best investments.
The 1973-74 bear market gave Warren Buffett the opportunity to purchase a stake in the Washington Post Company (NYSE:WPO) - an investment that has subsequently increased by more than 100-times the purchase price - that's before dividends are included. At the time, Buffett said he was buying shares in the company at a deep discount, as evidenced by the fact that the company could have "… sold the (Post's) assets to any one of 10 buyers for not less than $400 million, probably appreciably more." Meanwhile, the Washington Post Company had only an $80 million market cap at the time. (For more on Buffett's strategy, read Think Like Warren Buffett and What Is Warren Buffett's Investing Style?)
After the September 11 terrorist attacks, the world stopped flying for awhile. Suppose that at this time, you had made an investment in Boeing (NYSE:BA), one of the world's largest builders of commercial aircraft. Boeing's stock didn't bottom until about a year after September 11, but from there, it rose more than four-times in value over the next five years. Clearly, although September 11th soured market sentiment about the airline industry for quite some time, those who did their research and were willing to bet that Boeing would survive were well rewarded.
Also during that time, Marty Whitman, manager of the Third Avenue Value Fund, purchased bonds of K-Mart both before and after it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2002. He only paid about 20 cents on the dollar for the bonds. Even though for awhile it looked like the company would shut its doors for good, Whitman was vindicated when the company emerged from bankruptcy and his bonds were exchanged for stock in the new K-Mart. The shares jumped much higher in the years following the reorganization before being taken over by Sears (Nasdaq:SHLD), with a nice profit for Whitman. Thanks to moves like this, the Third Avenue Value Fund has earned a market-beating 14.3% return since Whitman founded the fund in 1990.
Sir John Templeton ran the Templeton Growth Fund from 1954 to 1992, when he sold it. Each $10,000 invested in the fund's Class A shares in 1954 would have grown to $2 million by 1992, with dividends reinvested, or an annualized return of about 14.5%. Templeton pioneered international investing. He was also a serious contrarian investor, buying into countries and companies when, according to his principle, they hit the "point of maximum pessimism." As an example of this strategy, Templeton bought shares of every public European company at the outset of World War II in 1939, including many that were in bankruptcy. He did this with borrowed money to boot. After four years, he sold the shares for a very large profit. (To learn more about Templeton and other great investors, see the Greatest Investors Tutorial.)
Putting It On the Line
But there are risks to contrarian investing. While the most famous contrarian investors put big money on the line, swam against the current of common opinion and came out on top, they also did some serious research to ensure that the crowd was indeed wrong. So, when a stock takes a nosedive, this doesn't prompt a contrarian investor to put in an immediate buy order, but to find out what has driven the stock down, and whether the drop in price is justified.
Conclusion
While each of these successful contrarian investors has his own strategy for valuing potential investments, they all have the one strategy in common - they let the market bring the deals to them, rather than chasing after them.

It makes no matter as to what level of sarcasm or antagonism you harp. This company is on it's way to commercialization and tremendous growth. I'm not going to get into a ridiculous multiple exchange with you. You can get your ya-yas out with someone else.
It stands to reason that he would sell (only a small fraction of his shares) when the value of those shares are substantially greater than they are now.
I think the pps will be going up to an new level with several PRs of substance. It appears that Kim will finally have a little compensation for his amazing effort and sacrifices to bring this idea to reality. He deserves everything he gets and we are smart and lucky to ride his coattails. http://imarketreports.com/ceo-thompson-registers-2955000-of-kraig-biocraft-laboratories-inc-kblb.html
