Yep. Everywhere and in everything.
I'm hard-pressed to think of something more obvious, Col!
GLTA! Holding the Golden!!!
Fully realize, Col.
Needing a break and taking a break are two different things, though.
Oh, I'll admit, Trainer, I'm more of a realist than an optimist. I get where all the people are coming from with their doubts. I haven't been here since the beginning, but, I've been here for 7 years. Doubts have always been there. 2019 has caused the doubts to dissipate. What I see now is the company is somewhere it hasn't been in it's history. Evident by stock price and basic accomplishments. To me, that's the pudding. My pudding. My pudding tastes good to me. It keeps me coming back for more. It makes me want to share with others, too. It makes me happy overall. And I think the pudding will taste even better in the future. I gotta stick around for that! Cause I love me some pudding!
To each their own and GLTA! Holding the Golden!!!
I would just like to see some of these full throated predictions come to pass
Never said it was a "fake argument" brought by others. In fact, have stated ad nauseum they are probably correct about 'how he was.'
But, that's living in the past and refusing to see the present. Like, no matter what he does now in that regard, it will never be enough. And, for some, it may never be. But, for me, I say...to each their own.
One cannot gloss over the fact it takes a tremendous amount of communication ability to do what any CEO does. It takes even more to successfully accomplish what has been accomplished so far by our CEO. IMO, his communication skills in the areas of success for the company far outweigh his "inability to communicate." Otherwise the company wouldn't be where it is now. One can say "this person" or "that person" is responsible for making it happen and not give credit to the CEO, but, ultimately the decisions lie with him. That takes the ability to communicate to others. And, here again, based on the company's status right now, his ability to communicate to others is obviously getting the job done. In at least TWO COUNTRIES!
To continue to focus on areas of weakness while the company's trajectory is positive is akin to getting everything you want for Christmas but still not being happy. Can anyone say, "Christmas in July?!"
I, for one, am happy. Happy to be...HOLDING THE GOLDEN!!!
Oldy but a goody!
My personal favorite, Mr. Roboto, wasn't as appropriate.

You know who had a remarkable "stage presence":
Elizabeth Holmes
Bernie Madoff
Enron Executives
Dare I say...Hitler
So, although I get what's being conveyed about what is perceived as the big communication "problem" with Mr. Thompson, I'd say "that was then and this is NOW."
I'd also venture a guess he's not as bad as some would make it appear. I'm sure Mr. Thompson would admit to some overwhelm in the beginning. He probably was sure of the potential of Spider Silk, but lacked the ability to speak confidently about how he could "make it happen." I'm sure he believed in his team and the company, but, couldn't convey it as well as he would have liked.
Of course, if you'd rather have great communicators like the ones listed above, I'd say...To each his own. I choose to stick with this one, though. He's done me solid.

Yankee sums it up perfectly here...
You can embrace the new KBLB era that we've all been patiently waiting for or at some point just move on. KBLB is in a different time and place right now. KBLB is rapidly moving on from an R & D to a growth stage company. Our CEO now has a lot more to work with in building his company and our investment in KBLB. We've entered the new era.
Strong current ahead...
Come Sail Away
I know it's not new, Banana, but the positioning of the company is.
Just trying to point out how opinions of the past don't necessarily jive with where we stand as a company today.
To each their own, I guess. Like I keep saying, I'm just happy to be Holding the Golden!!!
Does anyone else find it strange that complaints are being made about the KBLB CEO's "lack of communication?" I mean, it seems the guy is quite capable of communicating to everyone else but the shareholders. Advisors have been advisers for years. He's been able to communicate with multiple scientists about what he'd like to achieve. One of which has been able to establish lab SOP's and Protocols and ACCEPTED the position as Chief Scientist with the company. Our COO has been with KBLB for 4 years and has been able to take our CEO's instruction well enough to advance us into another country. Our CEO can't communicate properly? He's so bad at communicating that he's even able to speak about what he wants to accomplish through an interpreter and get things done?
It seems to me, one of our CEO's strongest abilities is his communication skills. Otherwise KBLB wouldn't be in the position it is in now. He didn't bring the company to this point without communicating to people along the way. The mission of the company depends on it! He seems to be communicating just well to those he needs to. Our time will come.

Meaningful coincidence, or synchronicity, to say the least!
GLTA! Holding the Golden!!!
Doesn't bother me one way or another, really. More like an "if I was in his shoes" comment. Of course, I'm not, so will just have to wait and see. Any way you look at it, I'm happy to be...
Holding the Golden!
Dilly Dilly!
Appreciate it, TRUTH. I'm just happy to be a part of KBLB. We are all so fortunate to be here at this time and place.
GLTY and All! Holding the Golden!!!
Thanks, Yankee. Second coffee is helping.
Just for fun...

Gives new meaning to "Holding the Golden!"
That's another point I have alluded to in the past. Due to my inability to communicate properly today, though, I will refrain from further thought. But, I totally get what you're saying jetow.
GLTA! Holding the Golden!
I need another coffee or something. Or maybe just simply shut up for today....
...could be attained through our licensing of the products
To me, it's obvious KBLB is going to have a long line of products they supply on their own and then another long line of licensing agreements.
We're on the same page, Col!
GLTA! Holding the Golden!!!
Shareholders will be happy to know that Wyoming state statutes protect and favor shareholders more than most states, too.
Looks like more reasons to admire what our CEO is accomplishing for KBLB.
GLTA! Holding the Golden!!!
Simplistic example, to say the least, which I was using to showcase the further potential of Spider Silk. Not necessarily KBLB producing those products, but, rather, someone out there through licensing our silk to them. Don't think people buy crazy expensive items? I know you've seen or heard of plenty. Just for fun...

Gives new meaning to "Holding the Golden!"
I understand the "premium" for Spider Silk.
It was a rather simplistic "example" furthering the potential daily uses for Spider Silk. Also, people do pay a premium for stuff. So, as far-fetched as it may sound, I'm sure somebody will be looking into it. And I'm not saying KBLB is going to actually produce those items. That's where my mentioning of licensing comes in.
Overall, we are in the infant stages of potential here. Everything is conjecture at this point. Exciting times to say the least.
GLTA! Holding the Golden!!!
Think about that in the grand scheme...
A country enacted a law for a company to set up shop in-country! WOW!
That company just so happens to be KBLB!
Putting that into perspective really shows how solid a company we have here. Thanks Mr. T and Co.!
I'm happy to be....HOLDING THE GOLDEN!!!
From a strictly commercially viable standpoint, since Spider Silk can be used to improve paper currency, couldn't it also be used to improve such household items as...toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, dish cloths, bath towels, etc, etc.?
Think about it: common, every day household consumable products, which are used on a daily basis and essential to EVERY household with given repeat purchases. Heck, what can't Spider Silk improve?
To me, it's obvious KBLB is going to have a long line of products they supply on their own and then another long line of licensing agreements.
This may be contrarian to many members on this board, but, if I were Mr. Thompson, I wouldn't settle for a buyout. I'd ride this thing into the sunset...

The 3rd and 4th Q are going to be epic. It is well deserved for those who have endured the KBL journey
The issue of SEC 8-K reporting of materially significant events at Prodigy is an entirely different set of non-accounting regs.
-IMO.
Based on that, you're obviously better off!
These days nothing surprises me. Well, except for KBLB! Although it's not really surprising, either, since I expect it to do well. So...enjoy the benefits of KBLB without her. You can always buy another one anyway!
When you're talking about those level of funds couldn't you just replace the wife? LOL
Yeah it is! Glad I'm positioned for the EXPLOSION!
GLTY and All! Holding the Golden!!!
Thanks for sharing.
I concur. If one wanted to split hairs, basically everyone is guilty.
I prefer to fight different battles.

This is the quote from the article I found most telling:
The high price of manufacturing the protein material, trademarked as Qmonos, has thus far hindered commercialization, but Sekiyama said he expects to reduce costs to between $40 and $50 per kilogram.
