I hate to put this out there because I need to make a small buy next week but I know that one you YoYo’s would have found this and posted it.

Kind of poking around on this NSF thing, it looks like Lightwave will be required to reach out to between 5 and 10 CUSTOMER CONTACTS per WEEK and spend a minimum of 15 hours per WEEK in FACE to FACE meeting, (not dial in). I’d guess this is why JM got that raise that we questioned.

Folks I think the train is finally FINALLY getting ready to leave the station.
I don’t know, I don’t have all the answers. I post what I honestly think that is all. Proly the best person to ask about the SLM is Turpin (if he’s at the meeting) ask him and if you are not satisfied with the answer then do whatever you think is the right thing to vote against whatever board member caused the problem that you see. Hey this is a very complex science and what they THINK they can get to work, no guarantees, when you have something this complex nobody can tell you exactly how it will proceed. Think about it guys a Fempto Second, what 1 second is to 31 Million years. I mean wow that is fast computing with and an SLM that would be a million time s faster, what, honestly I don’t know.
My gut feeling about Lumera and Gig was correct years ago, could I be wrong about Lightwave today, heck ya, nobody gets it right all the time, but I do have a buy order in for more LWLG shares.

I voted FOR all. Call me crazy but I don’t think rocking the boat at this juncture it going to move anything forward faster. Better yet do this, check the box to vote AT the SHM button and ask the person that you have an issue with, one on one, prior to the meeting, what your beef is with the issue that you have, then walk to the person in the back of the room that has the ability to manually enters votes and tell them how to vote your shares. Honestly unless the Goetz’s vote one way or the other I don’t think that you will change anything.
Come to think of it, the way the corporations do it is kind of backwards, first they announce how the shares were voted then they tell you about what the plans are, if you think of it is kind of backwards.
Just a thought.

Agreed Gates there certainly appears to be a justifiable cause for concern, but quitting without notice sounds like he just split, emotional and that is why I went the route I did on my first post. As info BSmith, Geenlee was testing the Perk long before he joined so honestly I don’t think it had anything to do with the testing, I cannot rationally explain his departure perhaps Mr. Bintz getting promoted and who is “More Than Qualified” found something that rubbed him the wrong way and that had something to do with it.
We may be in the middle of something here that we don’t see, they cannot say publicly and we won’t fully understand until this all plays out.
Stay Tuned for the never ending saga.

I agree with you Gates, if this was so promising I don’t understand why he would quit either but the “without notice” part is key and hence when I weighed the facts I came the conclusion that I put on my first post and honestly it still makes sense to me. Or perhaps we was offended when they promoted Bintz and he thought that he was in line for promotion, perhaps he was doing/did something wrong, who knows. Reasons for leaving etc. are not public record, many times folks are given a notice of termination or the option and resign before it takes effect, his departure isn’t a key event, he was a tester like Teng used to be back in the day, he did set up the testing facility for us so he did add some value. But I agree, it is a reason to pause and think, I guess if we didn’t have Leonberger trying to work the Perk I’d be freaking out. I might be crazy but I’ve got a buy order in though and we’ll see if it fills.

As info, He said that he was made on offer to move to Cali and he took it, it was best for him and his family. San Francisco over Delaware, the folks out there are not exactly my cup of tea but whatever floats your boat.

It all depends on what market they are targeting because there are about a gazzilon different configurations but just to give you an idea it would look something like this multi mode variety.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Finisar-FTLX8571D3BCL-10Gbps-SFP-10GBASE-SR-SW-850nm-Optic-Transceiver-Module-/171074183608?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item27d4d0e1b8#ht_1346wt_1018
My guess is that they would be playing around with an nm in the single mode fiber range but honestly who the F knows we’re just guessing.
HOnestly I don't think that they are even targeting a specific market.
IMO it is all about getting it in a workable device and once they prove that they have invented an entirely new WORKABLE material, wham, end of game we’ll be taken out. It could even be by someone like Google.

Pretty cool stuff but in must be kept at absolute Zero(-273c) a centimeter square (thumb nail) sized chip inside a box the size of a shipping container and we thought that Gig packaging was expensive.
I’m Hanging in there guys and staying positive, not jumping on the complaining band wagon, that is too easy, I'm keeping on the rose colored glasses holding my chin high and waiting it out. When they can give us more they will, either they have it or they don't, all of the complaining the world is not going to change the NDA’s.

No, If I had to guess about the fund I'd say that it is proly somewhere where JM stuck some of LWLG's money. Looks like Fasick did indeed gift those shares to someone. I know there is a CPA here, if they are options that are not in the money I guess there wouldn't be any tax due. I can read between the lines, He is getting up there, I also did a little transferring of shares and estate stuff at the end of last week so it must be the season. No tax was due on mine, the old basis stayed with the shares that were transferred so I'd guess that is probably the same here.

llook at the codes open market or is it he gave to his ids kids ive seen them at shm
read those form 4s im busy see if they r any good or options
the grant z spoke about was federal im thinking the may be looking to sweeten the grant once it is approved
Pivot Point $1.30 heading down for 5 weeks or so.
I think I may have stumbled across what the governor was doing in the lab, probably looking for a matching SBIR grant similar to what Pro v12001 post number 3703 found that Lumilant received back in November.
http://dedo.delaware.gov/dedo_pdf/NewsEvents_pdf/minutes/2012/November26_2012_CDF_MeetingMinutes.pdf
Remember that Z mentioned that he didn’t want the specific SBIR or STTR’s made public, when that time comes he’ll do it. It doesn’t take long to find a few that fit our niche but no need to post them.

TH if I remember correctly didn't you move over from Lumera before Gig hammered them into the 1 for 8 reverse split about the same time Boca split?
I just listened to the end of call again; It’s at the 52 minute mark on the April 4th call.
Green, Green, Green, Oh or remember in school fight,fight, fight.
Sounds like Proto and PropJoe don’t get along, LOL. With no news and another stumble, Tensions are running high, eventually someone will nail this I have no doubt, as to how long it will take is anyone’s guess. I agree though that the reason Norwood is no longer in the mix may never be known, as will the reason for EM giving up so quickly. (Although, Z did say that he would hold the folks accountable.) Honestly thought I’d say that if Leonberger and Michelson ever give up and without the LSS showing any support publicly that we’d go down to pretty much nothing in a heartbeat. If you think about it though that is exactly what the LSS is probably hoping for as it could save em a Billion dollars (that would be a 20 Buck buyout) or so. Call me crazy delusional or whatever but I’m still not worried, this Markel thing is yet another interesting twist. Honestly though I cannot figure out how to connect the dots on the visit to Lightwaves office, IMO something is up I mean he is not up for reelection and if he was looking for visibility Lightwave would be the last place that you’d expect a Politian to visit. Interesting
I went back and reread the EM dump/move/consolidation to Colorado oh and while we are all hoping for a device (like tomorrow), remember what Z said. “The next step will be to determine the electronic coupling design and poling process to calculate the resulting electro-optical activity of the Perkinamine™ Family of materials.” So that would be the next logical press release. Oh the Markell visit is possibly related to another sentence in that PR. “They represent a total market of many billions of dollars.” Remember guys when asked about producing devices either Tom or JM said that they have already been in contact with a manufacture to work with. While Colorado is working on/with the Perk, Z needs to align the stars for the fabless, next steps (actually 2 or 3 steps from now). Um I’d guess that there are 3 states currently in the mix. IMO One in the East, one in the South, and one in the Midwest.
Now if we could get Biden to visit and work/send some green power reducing magic money our way that would be nice.

Stevey it is HOT here why it over 80 almost 90 degress and it RAINS every afternoon. ;)
Perhaps Buzzy I guess that is one way to look at it that, very positive attitude.
This is one new technologies that is on the site, I’m not sure if these are popping up around the country near anyone on here yet but there are 2 sites within 5 miles of here, kinda cool I guess, as long as it makes sense.

Nothing listed here about Markell visiting anywhere else up here yesterday.
http://news.delaware.gov/
Now we need a National Senator or two and House Rep guys to visit, on a state level the Delaware guys have a nice break after Sunday so perhaps after that, sometime over the summer.
Oh dunkin donuts Um, I didn’t ask him but the guy that owns the liquor store is kind of excited about the construction activity on that site because since Chrysler left his business has dried up, although on weekends I do my best to try and support him.
Snezmister I just booked I’m In Friday 7/26 out Monday 7/29, Under special instructions I requested an extra Life Guard for our block. I’m kinda hoping Nitro and his buddy will be down so we can do another boat ride in that rocket of his, I promise to hold on, It is kind of cool to his Seacrets from the water side.

I have a thought on Markel’s visit today, the U of D is developing a Science, Technology and Advanced Research Center at the old Chrysler plant down the street, it is currently under construction and it is huge, I’m wondering if today’s meeting had something to do with that OR are we shopping for something? I’m surprised that Buzzy didn’t bring it up.
After my surprise visit as a pizza delivery guy to the lab I was asked to please NOT to stop by the lab without calling because I might see someone or something that I shouldn’t AND that could cause a problem.
A 1 Hour tour,,,, interesting. IMO Delaware had better not let this slip away to another state, back in the day Fred Goetz Graduated number one in his class at the University of Delaware ya know.

Hey are we booking rooms yet for O.C. after the SHM?
IMO I think that Lightwaves Perkinamine had a characteristic or performed a little different than Prather was used to, IMO Prather probably thought that he’d spend 20 hours on it and it didn’t work out. Tom did say parallel (some say Prather is done and some say that he isn’t) but to spin this as Leonbergers modulator design not speaking favorably of him I think is a little off. I could be wrong. When I went back through Leonbergers history I didn’t see a quitter there, he worked on the Niobate modulators until he nailed them. Patients is a hard thing to come by in today’s world, I think that soon enough we will all see that Leonberger isn’t a quitter.
It kind of reminds me of when the well driller showed up after 6 bad wells over the years at my home, most wells in Delaware are about 100 feet deep. When he started I wished him luck and he said son “ain’t no luck about it, persistence is all that it is about” bottom line was that he lost 1 well head a couple hundred feet down, I think it was like 10 grand and it didn’t faze him, I'm pretty sure that he fished it out but in the end I think that he ended up around 425 feet or so. The boyz that gave up at 165 feet on one were blaming it on everything under the sun from the serpentine rock, the sand (from the last period of cave man caused global warming, LOL), to the well rig, to the lightning (from the current global warming) affecting the aquifer. Whatever, patience is something in short supply these days, when a problem arises everyone just starts yelling, pointing fingers and ,,,,,,
Picking up cheaper shares along the way, DanKa.
Good Luck, I think most here have done their homework, this science is deep, very deep. If they don’t show us a modulator by the SHM, I’ll ask them to explain in simple English what the issue is, Fred Goetz could do it back in the day, I know these guys can do it. They’ll get it, it has only been, 10 years, LOL
Very interesting, I think Mario might just know a little something about Perk. Just a hunch.
Well put there richyrich, (I like that Rumsfeld quote and I think that it is applicable here). You either have faith that they will figure it out or you don’t. This science is over EVERYONEs head, this is new science stuff and they are in uncharted waters, as for me I’m keeping the faith, they’ll get it and they will not tip their hand until it is released.

Not sure how much this will help the share price but I thought I'd pass it on. (Fidelity sends me alerts)
Guys Not an easy question, he adds value and I think that he can see the big picture but struggles with communicating it publicly, that is what frustrates us. He is definitely Not the right person for a job that requires communicating it to strangers (note to self, I couldn’t do it either) and that is why I think that were stuck in sand for quite a few years. One on one he is comfortable and just after you have reamed him out (ditto, just like me) he comes across as knowledgeable and professional. It is difficult to summarize publicly on a message board.
As for the 7 Million, we all watched the burn, expenses; 7 Million is a drop in the bucket as far as I’m concerned. Someone posted JM’s salary was like 500k or something the other day, but apparently they don’t realize that when they issue warrants that are not even in the money the company has to expense them like they gave away money. (But that’s got nothing to do with the real money) We’ve got about 1 years worth of cash in the bank, less risk that possibly ever!
I would love to connect the dots to the LPC money; someone has bought millions of shares but has not yet reached the reportable threshold , perhaps it is in different entities. In fact I’d say that if we all knew who they were selling those shares to we would be happy as a clam and the share price would be at 3 or 4 bucks. I’m not elaborating but there are some VERY deep pocketed investors here that I think are in LARGE because they see the potential and for them to risk 5 or 10 Million to make ANOTHER Billion for themselves while at the same time help the company (while LPC acts as the middle man) IMO is like us risking 5 bucks to make a $100. I do NOT know this for fact, but who do you think is buying the LPC shares, the government?
Who knows who they might be ;)
I think that they are telling us just about as much as they are allowed and in the best manner possible. The fact of the matter is that it is just taking longer than expected. IMO These guys are doing the best that they can, agreed that it is taking longer than expected but complaining and moaning will not change anything except for ones attitude toward life. I think that JM got it right a few years ago when he said that this went public far too early because there are rules of disclosure and such that much be followed, and when you are dealing with science like this things that must be disclosed publicly to the shareholders, while at the same time you do not want to disclose some things publicly to others (for whatever reason) it makes it difficult.
Oh, as I read it the floor price below a buck only affects it on the day they pull the trigger, it can be averaged in below a buck and I’m guessing you guys saw that they amended the 8-k or whatever it was referring to the $1.50 subsequent double action trigger pulls. Looking forward to the SHM, not sure what they will have for us but hopefully it will be something, because yes I agree we are all getting weary. When Z did that last presentation (that many complained about) I sent him an email that said I thought he did a good job (granted it wasn’t what we wanted to here) and that it was the best presentation to date. In his reply he didn’t give me any details but sounded positive in saying that they "will" get there and that he is "still" very excited about this science he also thanked me for "hanging in" there all these years. I’ll take him at his word and I take that response as a positive thing, can he guarantee it? No, but I don’t think that he is the kind of guy that would pump sunshine up my @$$ just for the sake of doing it if things were not moving along or there was an insurmountable problem. The best thing about the SHM is that you can look at them one on one and can see how positive or negative they are by looking them in the eye.
Have a good day guys, You guys can complain if you want, I’m not and as usual I’ll be making a few buys next week.

Gates if it works and the price is right then I agree , honesty I don’t think that we will ever ship volume productions because we’ll be bought out long before then. This is about the Perk not so much widgets, it is about the recipe for the molecules. As for working with GIG, I don’t think so because of the foreign thing.
Gates Gig has used the words Production Volumes many times in the past, just because they have them does not create a demand. But hey I could be wrong. I guess if you think that they are legitimate and like the way they treat their shareholders then perhaps it is worth a shot, as for me Heck No, I’ve posted my reasons a galizzion times.

Hey if a university wants to kick in a couple bucks to help out the cause I’m OK with it, I’m not going to hold their feet to the fire and threaten them sick the AG on them, that isn’t going to help anything, sounds like some are running amuck. A Little History here, The university of Washington developed Gig’s polymer furthermore it appeared that they were even able secure tax payer funding for the company. Lord knows we wouldn’t anyone to help us out. Think About IT!
I make a motion to Let This Drop and not pursue it any further, I’m not sure how this could possibly help anything. I mean what possible answer could they give that would help or hurt?
Six do me a favor though, we are working with Colorado Please, Please do not give Lightwave a bad name (via the investors) giving Universities a rough time. We do not need to shoot ourselves in the foot on this. Honestly I do not agree with you that if they enter into an agreement with a particular university to work with a material that the universities must tell anyone that asks all about it, doesn’t make sense. But again, I’m sure that we are reimbursing the schools for any expense related to our work, I’m sure the lawyers at the schools have a code they enter and an invoice is sent to Lightwave, but whatever.
I didn't see it either I only glanced for a minute though if you care about it keep on looking, I'm too busy right now.

Top of page six. I'm not going to explain how the entire thing works I already did that in post 5932 and welcomed comment.
Purchase Price Floor. The Company and the Investor shall not effect any Purchases under this Agreement on any Purchase Date where the Closing Sale Price is less than the Floor Price. "Floor Price" means $1.00, which shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split or other similar transaction.
Wow, crazy stuff yesterday, I’m not sure if it is something in the water, the moon and stars alignment, the NSA cat flipping to China, or what, but anybody that thinks that they are going to accomplish anything (other than making themselves feel better) by stirring the pot, name calling, or filling out forms to give the attorneys something to do, IMO is mistaken. I’m not sure how many of the folks that are flipping out attended the Shareholders meeting but if you haven’t you need to, you can look them straight in the eye and they will answer your questions straight up. Even if they are not allowed to answer your question they will tell you that but trust me you will have the confidence that they are being honest. As for the science questions feel free to ask one of the lab cats (there is no way that you will be able to comprehend the answer) but again if you look them in the eye you gain confidence through their response.
Funny every time the stock starts to recover and move higher some start complaining and moaning it happens like clockwork, hey life is too short, if you think that you can get a better return elsewhere cut your losses and move on. Honestly I hate it when someone calls me and complains because it brings me down, but it doesn’t change anything, some folks just get off on complaining I guess. If you don’t trust them then move on to another investment and be happy because in a few years we’ll all be dead.
We all know that we had at least of 3 years of drifting around without a rudder from port to port trying to get our sea legs and figure out what direction we should head. I know Z was on the BOD then but he couldn’t effect change and neither could Smith. Tom is now calling the shots and right, wrong or indifferent we’ve finally set sail, but asking them to control things that they cannot control or why they cannot predict things that they cannot control or going back and trying to ascertain what happened at a port during that time IMO isn’t going to fix anything. They know that we are frustrated and IMO they are doing the best that they can, they believe in the science and will get there, I do not want them to give a large portion of the company away though just to satisfy a goal they set at last year’s ASM. I’ll still be on the boat when it arrives but IMO some will not. Good Luck guys, Lol shoot it could be worse, look at the guys on the Yahoo board, you know the smartest cats in the room, I’d hate to see how you would feel if you were in their shoes (an investor in that company), you know the one where they did a 1 for 8 reverse split, merged with a company and took their assets not their liabilities, did things that forced a federal judge appoint a member to the BOD, then awarded themselves half of the company for their performance of dropping the share price drop from 50 bucks to a dollar you know what company I’m talking about. I know some say it doesn’t matter but honestly I don’t know what you are bitching about, I had to smoke 800 packs of cigarettes to get this jacket, Lol not sure where that came from but I got a chuckle out of it, tired of typing.
Have a Good Day All
It expired 6 Months from now but they didn't wait, I think that things are about to heat up and the new one lets them hammer it fast when things heat up especially in the $3 to $5 range. No time to get into it but if you read my post I did 2 days ago and sit down and read the new agreement, look at the old, the 5 day 24 hour clause thing. It looks like a win/win to me.

Perhaps you need to clean your cache or something; perhaps he didn’t have that Goofy Linkedin profile up to date or filled in properly. I updated mine for the first time last week, now it is trying to get me to bug like 500 new people for a connection, (why would I want to waste their time? ) now I get requests from people that I’ve only met one time for an endorsement,,, whatever, I guess that it can be a useful tool but not the end all be all. It basically wants me to work for it, uh not so much; I’ve got better things to do. Shoot I thought that I was just putting down a committee that I’m on and received emails from a few congratulating me on my new “job”. It is easy to connect the dots on things that do not connect on the internet, or just because someone doesn’t fill out something assume something incorrect. Bottom line is that it now says that Greenlee is working there at “present”.
Oh going down the technology road I got rid of my dial up bag phone and bought a new smart phone that weights less than 5 lbs. and I think that I accidently opened up an email from one of the shareholders that went to the beach last year after the SHM when I was doing something else. I don’t know what my phone did with it but I lost it. But Yes I plan on going to the beach again this year. When they tell us what the date is if you are planning on doing the Ocean City thing we can make our plans. But don't let me go in the Ocean past my waste if I'm hung over, Lol. Help!

No evidence, But over the past few months, in taking to a few folks about Prather around town NOT LIGHTWAVE EMPLOYEES (I think that Joe is from Delaware so ask around) and while I do understand that he has mellowed lately “I get it totally” and honestly I saw this coming but I didn’t want to jinx us. Whatever the reason used or given may not be the actual reason and honestly we(Lightwave or Leonberger) may not even know the actual reason. It doesn’t appear that Z is someone to take be taken lightly and when he joined he said that he’d hold folks accountable and it appears that he is, geez look at Lockheed. While many complained (including myself) when they re-upped JM now looking at the structure of LPC’s deal I think this will be one of JM’s most important responsibilities.
Anyone that thinks this football can just be kicked through the post on a whim needs to understand the many variants there are to work with, solvent, polling, substrate, voltage, waveguide width, wavelength, alignment, and on and on,,,, altering any changes everything, THEY WILL GET THERE the computers tell us that it works it appears that it is just the physical aspect at a microscopic level that they are toying with, geez even the LSS has been toying with it for years. This is a very, very complex thing, you heard Tom the properties of Lithium Niobate are what they are, Perkinamine Properties are whatever we want them to be based on about a dozen factors, they are still working on it, sucks but it is what it is, complaining is not going to change the Science. I guess if it makes you feel better then do it but you won’t bring me down, nope.

Our Deal with LPC wasn’t up for 6 months, IMO a reasonable person would conclude that EM wanted too much dough, by that I mean too many shares, more of a percentage of the company than our mgmt. thought it was worth. IMO while EM was working with our material on a modulator, IMO they would not have been motivated to give it a full 100% because in doing so they would shoot themselves in the foot by increasing our value thereby decreasing the percentage that they would receive should any future merger happen. Tom Z looked and found someone to take their spot (Colorado + LPC). So now we will be trading (at the maximum) 20 Million shares over 30 months for $20 Million dollars and a minimum of 4 million shares, as it looks like things are now moving forward in a logical progression I'd guess that we'll average 2 Bucks or 10 Million shares (Plus the 600k in juice todays value about $.5M) . We currently have about a year’s worth of cash JM, Z and company know what they are working on and how that will affect the share price so I don’t think that they are in a big hurry to tap this capital the first weeks that we move back to a buck, but EM may be motivated to sell a few in the dollar area (not sorting, just selling). Also remember the 12 day look back close rule so more than likely twice a week there will be cheap shares at the end of the day for the foreseeable future. Oh and if I were a betting man I’d say that Good Ol Fred Leonberger is having a few casual conversations with a few possible partners so this may just be the backup plan, in which case EM would want the share price to move up fast back to the dollar level . None Of This is Based On Any Facts, Just My Thoughts. If this doesn’t move up too fast, over the next few weeks I'll put my money where my mouth is and snag a few more shares to take advantage of the cheap prices from investors that have simply lost faith, this price is simply too tempting, IMO a quick double should be in the future.
On a side note did you see that new 1,000,000 square foot NSA data center, should Terry be successful in his effort to build even a moderately successful SLM I think that I might know someone that may be interested and they have 3 letters in their name.
