Thank you Rayo....it does fuel a lot of speculation and gets the wild ideas flowing. I feel like a BB inside a basketball. When things get quiet it is like having quiet kids....something is happening, you just do not know what!

Is DuPont in Lam Dong? WAG
Thank you Red! I was hoping that our top stuff was going to the DOD but our USA research team might be generations ahead of DS-2 and not being released to Prodigy.
IMHO I think this company is moving at several different levels and at various speeds.
Waiting for the WOW!

Does anyone know what level of the worms shipped to VN??? MS, DS, DS-2 or ??
Thanks,

My feeling is DOD is heavily involved. Based on MHO, I really do not think our leading edge stuff is leaving the good old USA.
I also would not be surprised that we have had DOD or a DOD cover company fund our enterprise on the side. Hush, hush.
One other key question......did Jon deliver our top product DS or a lessor strain? This could tell us the level of our military interest???
By the way, are we producing new threads off our four patented pending strains??
My gut tells me that DOD is up to its eyeballs with our stuff. That could be the "long shot" that could help us avoid the RS.
You left out the final board member appointment. That one final piece of the puzzle could tell us a whole lot.
Hmmmmmmm…??
Just speculating but:
* Could the last BOD appointment be fully read into what KBL is doing and by their knowledge alone be considered an insider?
* Could this last appointment be well known in the business world?
* Could this person currently represent or has been associated with a large international corporation that could buy us all out?
* Way too much silence here???
My gut tells me that the DOD is very deep into KBL R&D....??? This could be the "long shot" that was talked about.
"Run silent run deep".

Remember....there are billions in DOD funds that blacked out of the budget for all kinds of reasons. KT had kept the Polartec secret for almost 3 years.
Our "little" Iceburg is floating along.
This is assuming that nothing is going on with the DOD. When the military wants something that the market has but cannot fund, it will fund it itself on one or more of its facilities and make it happen. Area 51???? We just do know if that has already happened. Oct 1st is almost here $$$$!!
Interesting....New funding for DOD begins Oct. 1, 2019. Big news this coming Tuesday???
Agreed....timing is everything. Much happening behind the scenes at this point.

JMHO...Polartech pushed the April 17th announcement since they were in talks with Miliken to get their deal done. It might have been used as a pot sweetner???
Purely my opinion….No announcement of new board members before rs or buy-out proposal. I think rs proposal was also used to smoke out a potential buyer. There is a big capital crunch at this stage.
Three board members would make steering the ship much more complicated.

Total speculation on my part.....
I am feeling that the Vietnam facility will never see our "top stuff". Based on potential adversaries, no additional board appointment, and lack of verifiable quality production, there is a large corporation (DuPont) wanting to buy us out. Kim does not have unlimited time to execute whatever is the "plan".
You might have the goose who is laying golden eggs but you must feed it to keep it alive.
I am most disappointed with Randy Lewis working with China knowing how they have no ethics in their business dealings. Call it what you like but we are at war with China and it is our own fault that we are just now trying to correct it.
Sad,
For all those who think we must up-list for success...Polartec and Milliken were successful and not listed on any exchange. IMHO make progress on what you are trying to produce and the struggle will not be so hard. You have a country helping back your idea and you claim you can mass produce the product???
Lets get going!!!
Interesting about the ownership of the patents....
ND owns the base patents KBL has built its manufacturing around. Dupont is a major supporter of ND and has a strong relationship with the university. It is just a natural tie into both ND and Dupont for Dupont to pull the trigger on buying out KBL. The military probably would also like it to happen for greater stability of a revolutionary product with an unlimited future.
Just speculating.
Take this into consideration....
1. Many large multinational corporations are flush with cash since change in the tax laws with money put into their "treasury stock". Huge amounts of money coming from overseas due to reduced tax on profits.
2. Who has the best economic prospects for the future?
3. What is your corporate future for expansion? New items or inventions ie: Kevlar vs Spider Silk???
4. What has the stock market done and your corporate stock done since Jan 2017?
Some large corporations could buy us without raising any additional cash by just using their appreciated "treasury stock".
Timing is everything!
Two key points:
1. Look who is appointed to our BOD...they are linked to our new owner.
2. The RS idea is a tool for use to speed up a potential B/O offer.

FYI...any Chinese entity is like talking to the Chinese government. That is just the way life works in a communist country. We have been fooled by this fact for many generations and just beginning to smell the coffee.
Pressure building to perform!!! Potential buyers maybe smelling blood and force KT's hand. Time solves all problems but not always to our satisfaction.
This proposed RS could also be a tool to speed up a potential buyer(s) since it is the cheapest to move now than later. Anything is possible at this stage. Go KBLB!!!!
Thanks brother.
It is not "Happy Memorial Day" but remembrance day.

Not posted in years. 2.3 Kong and smiling. Watch who are appointed board members. This could be a clue as to eventually owns us. KBLB will be hard to ignore by large corporations who brought their overseas money back to the US. We could wind up with an all stock buyout. Live high on dividends. Just thinking out loud. Go KBLB!!!
I have owned over 3 million shares for many years. Still believe in this stock.
If testing by ND and WM is solid, then the Army can step in and be very helpful when there is no viable US production source.
In my previous experience with the Army, they have actually set up a small business to manufacture a product when they cannot get a civilian manufacturer to bid on what they want produced. Years ago that is what happened to an item called "Tre-packs" for food service. The problem was there was a lack of bidders who did not see a civilian application. KBLB does not have that problem.
My firm belief is that if ND did not believe in what KBLB was doing, they would have pulled out a long time ago.
Something should be happening fairly soon???
Good luck to all.

I agree. When negotiations are under way there are usually agreements that tamp down any information releases so as to not spike the price.
When considering some of the negative bashing, it is not out of the realm of possiblities that some of the bashers are actually connected to the "investor group" that is manuvering to pick up a position cheaply to reduce their costs in a takeover. JMO

IMHO the gloom and doom group might be a strategy to drive the PPS down for the "Investor Group" buyout to be less expensive.
Just a thought.

Sorry about the missing "E" in quietnes typo.
I know this sounds a little far fetched but if SG is under pressure to get something out like A/S reduction, financials, etc, he not showing it. I just have a gut feeling that he knows the way this is going to end up based on the negotiations with the investor group.

You have the wrong blog if you don't understand.

Another read on the quitness over the last couple of weeks or when the potential buy offer was tendered.....it could be a serious offer/discussion and there really is no need to do anything with financials or stock reduction based on the above???
JMHO
M-37 Dodge
Amen. See my post #31518.
M-37 Dodge
IMHO..A couple of thoughts:
1. The investor group could be a "staw" buyer to protect from a large price run up if the real buyers are known.
2. The investor group probably has an agreement with SG to keep quiet during negotiations to prevent a large speculative run up from PR's. SG used to announce sign ups and other news fairly regularly but that has almost stopped except for other IHUB blogers.
These two obervations happen quite often in the commercial real estate market and the stock market has many parallels.

Todays WSJ has the announcement that Microsoft is buying Skype for $8.5 Billion. This is not just a passing item for Microsoft since it sees the writing on the wall with both communication and information. The largest purchase in their 36 year history according to the article.
How about Bing and EYSM?????

Yext could be a great call since they will have some knowledge of a portion of the revenue stream.

Great post and personally crafted article that should even open the eyes of the "unenlightened".

The testing for all Army military gear is done at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland. It is a beautiful post and alot of other testing is done there too.
