WHY, WHY, WHY?
That's very interesting Dem, thank you!
Nimb I can't be anymore optimistic than the market, I'm part of it! I think and I hope good things are coming, but I don't know?! The people that know ( namely Kim ) are not telling us....
I whish the market would share your enthusiasm, but it really isn't the case!
Seems that we are up for a good ride today, in terms of trade volume! Does not mean the PPS will go hire though.
Apparently the market didn't read that quite favorably.
This is starting to sound like a motor that doesn't want ignite...
Of course I'm telling you!
Mojo, you said:
"commercialization was launched in october..kim's talk about tonnage by jan was simply ridiculous..i suspect the talk about tonnage by mid year is probably farfetched as well... "
Ben told me that we are still on track for metric ton production of MS.
Bud,
If it becomes reality, I think we will all be pleased, but I think it will go much higher when it starts to raise following a substantial communication from the Company.
I have not verified the archive so you may be right, but I guess IHUB have not made a rule so that only the "Friends" of the Company can post on its HUB.
"Let's say that I post a negative comment directly after an early morning press release,then continue on the "non-issue" into trading hours,would you say that I was trying to undermine the value of the news or would you infer that i'm making an extremely valid point,of paramount importance?"
It depends on one's perspective. It is obvious to me that one's issue is not the other ones issue. The fact that it happened so early is not relevant, it just shows how some may care about the quality of any communication.
"If I post a comment around 9am or so,with negative overtures,would you think that I was trying to set the tone for the morning's trading?"
Please see my point above. Also, I would add that some are prompt in finding the positive aspects of any communication, hence the hypothetical positive influence, but some are also prompt to find the negative aspects of any communication, hence the hypothetical negative influence. Nor one or the other should influence one's decision, if one has done the DD required for a long or short term investment. One should be independent enough to balance things out to take a decision.
Sounds interesting Lebbe1 but, unless I'm mistaking, the Company will not have full control of what is being said about it on the social medias, will it?
I don't know, but something tells me that Joe is a major contributor to the dissemination of the information on KBLB, especially with his ties in the textile industry!;O)
Jetow
I don't think any diversion strategy is being used nor is it necessary. The latest PRs are not in any way helping the PPS to raise significantly. The market has not picked up on KBLB, because there is nothing to be picked! IMO.
Actually Truth, there isn't much to talk about in the content. We knew the Company was using social medias, it is good to have it officialised (it should have been officialised prior to the actual use of social medias, IMO). We also know that there are other PRs to come (this is a self-evidence, it would have been useful if it indicated that there are additional PRs to come this week, or next). A part from that, what else?
I agree with you elichen. Errors of this type on an internal communication are somewhat tolerable (but repeated, would not be acceptable), but errors of this type on an external communication is generally not a good indicator of quality.
Having said that, if the next PRs are the ones we are waiting for, ie THE information about the weaving and the metric ton, then I don't give a f#$k about the quality!
Elichen,
Susie has been hired for office administration (as stated in the 10-K: "In the first quarter 2014 we hired an office adminstrator.") so I'm not sure it is reasonable to expect her to do the quality assurance on PRs. Aren't the PRs in Ben's responsibilities?
Because it would still be early 2014! I think the Company will try to produce the first metric ton asap.
Ramping up and producing is not the same, so we were told by different posters here, that's why I was questionning it.
I didn't question the period, but that's ok. Anyways, I was told by Ben that we are still on track for metric ton production...so I expect this to be May as well, but I also thought that it could be before, as a PR did indicate that it could be as early as early 2014.
"Not only Kim but the experts that traveled to the production site for further evaluation."
Truth are you not inferring that? I don't recall a PR stating that.
Agree and disagree because once the process is figured out for the first one, the other ones come easy! Opening the field is the most difficult part and I'm sure Kim is scrutening everything!
Lets not forget that KBLB has several strains of transgenic silk worms (20 if I'm not mistaking) so there is likely to be more different types of silk (or should I say fiber) to come...
Chachaz, I hope you are not inferring that it should take 10 years for KBLB to bring its MS to the market! I understand that it took so long in the 60s and the 70s but this should not be the case in the 21st century! MS is not for medical use but for other uses!
IMO, in the current market, if it takes more than two years for KBLB to bring MS to the market, there is very litle chance, or none, of success. Let´s not forget that MS is only an enhancement, a very important one that might be, but still an enhancement to an existing product, i.e silk!
MS is subject to commercialization since Feb. 2012 as presented in a PR by KBLB.
I mean nothing new in those.
Nothing in those.
Imagine if we'd get an update tomorrow before Easter Holiday! I Think some people would start to believe in miracles!
As some said here, Kim may already know but he may be waiting to S T R A G I C A L L Y release the news to share holders!
T40 you the best, because you trying so hard to convince us that KBLB is the best beyond comparison to others, but wait, it is great to consider other aspects. as long as it doesn't have an impact on the PPS?
Woah! Thank you T40 for telling us how KBLB tries to attract people to buy its shares! Wow!
Wouldn't that be considered as stock manipulation?
Yes very interesting TEC! Some very interesting companies linked...of course this could also mean nothing.
Monkey, it almost make sense!
I must admit, the latest e-mail sounded rather familial and not business like...but I don't think it was meant to be a PR.
I'm glad that Kim had started to hire some staff to help him.
Who knows, Susie might be the prelude to hiring John and James...

Kraig's Latest News & Events
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories' Newest Employee
Welcome Susie to Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc.
I am pleased to announce an important and much needed addition to our team. Many of you may have noticed some subtle, and not so subtle, improvements in our communications, website management and general operation efficiency over the last few weeks. That is due in great part to the addition of our new office administrator, Susie.
Susie’s experience is a terrific fit for KBLB. She earned her bachelor's degree in Communication from Wayne State University. Her previous work experience covers a broad spectrum of both big and small innovative companies.
As most of you know, Kraig has always operated with incredibly lean staffing in order to leverage the most research and development possible from our operating budget. For all practical purposes, the addition of an office administrator has doubled the size of our corporate administrative team.
I am confident that the positive impacts we have seen in corporate communications and increased efficiency in many other areas will continue and accelerate over the coming months.
Kraig welcomes Susie on board for this exciting voyage.

You can bet that if KBLB has to move from OTC to NASDAQ, all trades will be halted, and you can bet that a PR will announce you that KBLB will move from OTC to NASDAQ.

Funny how you simply considered the timing but not the relevancy and the substance.
I wouldn't trust a company that doesn't PR a substantial and relevant information readily and prior to the release of Financial Reports...so strategically (to what, that is the question), maybe in some cases, but not always...
Hi 4theast, this was diacussed on this board months ago.
A PR that could have a significant impact on the trades sometimes requires the trades to be suspended. So far, we haven't had that kind of PR in the last three years.
IMO, PRs should be released as soon as the information is available, relevant and substantial, for investors or for others.
As for the PRs they are a good source of information, if they have been proven to be reliable (regardless of their positive or negative impact on the PPS) which is not the case in a lot of cases.
KBLB's PRs have not proven to be reliable in all occasions...I'll leave it at that.
I'm not really worried right now, I already have my positions in the Company, but you are correct, by the time I read the information I'm looking for, the PPS will have moved significantly, but if I decide to invest more in the Company, I won't mind doing it at a higher cost knowing that it will probably move even more...
You're so funny!
You and me, and all others who would like to, will see from the statement of incomes and expenses (and other financial statements) the costs related to the production, sales, licence fees, royalties, etc. We will see through a note that the Company has moved from development to prduction with some data on the current production and the production to come. We will also see the expected revenues from any arrangement with partners. We will also see the acquisition of assets and/or financial arrangements for production if the production is not done directly by KBLB...
You see? I don't need a sample to be sent to me as you so ironicaly present it!
