prop, looks like you single handedly killed the rally right at the top with this post, we dropped 20% since you posted it, maybe you are just plain bad luck here
anyway, I am not superstitious like you, I will now call for the rally to resume here now, mark this post
haha, break a mirror baby~
Rubes, don't forget last time lightwave pps ran to about 1.25 and stayed above 1.00 long enough to tap LPC, but they DID NOT tap LPC
prop said Let us hope this move is not just another attempt to raise funds. Looking forward to next few weeks.
but just 2 short weeks ago prop said I have no position currently as I was tired of the waiting and the excuses as well. Nothing ever seemed to materialize from the intentions of management. I still look from time to time at the price and think of coming in next month but who knows.
(post 9505)
so the trojan horse long is back? are we suppose to cheer, f/no we had the farewell party already for you buster, you are a "gamer" and if the pps begins to fall I'm quite sure you will throw us all another whine party
walter, the trouble is ponzi will post incessantly to bury what you describe as a solution time to time say something normal on that message board
we need to all post over there again, particularly when there are pr's published which are drawing new investor eyeballs to see what people are saying
KC, glad to see others can see what I see, the yahoo stock board is where most investors look for what other investors are saying
I propose the need to take back the yahoo message board by all who post here, particularly when pr's are issued so that ponzi & clones do not run rampant with lies and deceptions aimed at steering any/all potential investors to run away from lightwave
I propose we maintain this message board whenever a post requires a need to share links as yahoo does not currently allow links
I hope Tom will better accommodate investors with more prompt updates of the progress notes related to the open letter statement " 2014 is our technology productization year and we are both confident about our technical edge and our understanding of what are the addressable markets. We intend to show the world an array of working devices in not one, but in a multitude of applications and industries.", the open letter set multiple targets for various developments, it would be nice to get mid-quarter updates (dreaming?)
Buz, the yahoo board is being looked at by potential investors, it can't be "the ponzi show" 24/7
Sean, so See Thru Equity did the research and formed there opinion including a price target on Lightwave all at their own expense, but if Lightwave wanted that opinion expressed publicly (via pr) versus just to those spending to buy their investment report, then Lightwave had to compenste them for the time and effort to draft the pr, and also to pay the cost to publish the pr via the news wire service
BSmith said, I'm not trying to increase my credibility but I will tell you that I have worked with Academia (not a professor because I despise most), Industry (optics, semiconductors), and most recently investors.
In addition, in quite a few of your posts you seem to be pumping the following:
1) Soluxra
2) Alex Jen
3) UW
Also, you still have not replied to my repeated request related to if you are under an NDA with LWLG since you claim to have had 1st hand workings with lightwave materials
Also, you have stated in post #9503 I have no association with GIG or LWLG. I do know a lot more about LWLG than I am telling you. I told you a few things in the previous post
Your claim to having no association with GIG or LWLG seems contradictory to your claim to having had 1st hand workings with lightwave materials
Also, you seem to refer to yourself as a "researcher", and you have said you are not a chemist (FWIW)
Also, you on multiple occasions have said the following (not necessarily in exact words)
1) take what I am saying with a grain of salt
2) I'm not here to trash the company or the materials
3) there is always some degree of lying/untruths within the science industry
Lastly, you certainly have "AMPED UP" your attack on lightwave just before Christmas, timing-wise this is coincident with the GIG stock offering by Roth & the other broker (who coincidently BOTH put out BUY rating on GIG a couple weeks prior to the stock offering & managed to get the stock pps to jump 30% prior to announcing the offering brokered by the same two brokers)
So, riddle me this, what reasons caused you to bounce from Academia, to Industry, and now to Investing?
Also, how long ago did you bounce to Investing, and presumably out of Science completely?
Also, interesting that in several of your posts you express disdain for professors
Also, what brokerage firm are you working with currently, and are you involved with any public stock offerings?
BSmith, one document for 350 degrees I know of
http://third-order.com/print/third-order_tech3.pdf
see page 7
One single integrated molecular design concept resolves all the major
environmental stability issues associated with organic materials, primary
among these being thermal and
photo-chemical stability. The rigid,
ring-locked structure provides
stability up to approximately
350oC, well above the requisite
300oC necessary for vertical
integration into electrical circuitry
BSmith, reviewing your posting history, there seems to be a push for Soluxra and for Alex Jen and UW
I also remember one of your earlier posts saying that you had worked in Academia, in Industry, and now currently in Investments, although I have not found that post specifically (perhaps deleted?) Is that correct? Are you not currently working with the science side of things, but rather with the investment side of things?
BSmith, I'll ask this again of you,
BSmith, just curious, are you bound by an NDA for your 1st hand workings with Perk materials? If not, how is that so?
BSmith asks He only gets options right? No monetary compensation?
what difference does it make? you keep implying that all these high level guys are boneheads and are having the wool pulled over their eyes
I assume he has mega-bucks in his pocket just from the Qtera buyout alone, and that a few more bucks ain't this dude's motive to be on board here
Siraj was the Product Architect & Vice President of Product Management at Qtera Corporation, a successful technology Start-up acquired by Nortel in 2000 for $3.25 Billion.
BSmith if the material is useless did they just fool Siraj Nour El-Ahmadi too?
a few months ago he joined the BOD here, here's a little backdrop on him,
Siraj Nour El-Ahmadi
Founder, President & Chief Executive Officer
Siraj, a co-founder of Menara, brings over 17 years of experience in optical transmission in particular and the telecom industry in general. Prior to founding Menara, Siraj served as Vice President - Marketing & Product Management at Nortel responsible for the OPTera LH 4000 ULR product (acquired from Qtera); that achieved over $200M in revenues in its first two years. Prior to that, Siraj was the Product Architect & Vice President of Product Management at Qtera Corporation, a successful technology Start-up acquired by Nortel in 2000 for $3.25 Billion. Siraj also held a Senior Manager position at Bell Northern Research and worked as a Transmission Engineer at WilTel (WorldCom) where he evaluated and deployed the world first bidirectional EDFA and bi-directional WDM transmission. Siraj holds a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from the University of Oklahoma, is a member of Eta Kappa Nu and is the inventor of 11 patents, issued or pending, in the area of optical communications. He authored a number of publications and is a frequent speaker at telecom and optical networking events and conferences.
http://www.menaranet.com/company_management.htm
and a quote from the pr announcing him joining here,
Siraj Nour El Ahmadi stated, "I am extremely honored to be joining such a prestigious Board of Directors and to help the management team achieve commercialization of their products. I have been very impressed by the viability of Lightwave Logic's organic nonlinear optical polymer technology and am excited for the opportunity to help Lightwave's team advance their devices and materials into the market."

back in September BSmith said, I am not trashing the LWLG material like you say. I just had some legitimate questions about the material and asked for simple data. what's wrong with that?
Interesting that three months later BSmith is a man on a mission to trash LWLG materials, kinda makes you wonder don't it?
BSmith told us.. Plus Greenlee is more of a Spatial Light Modulator device guy, not a waveguide guy as Lou Bintz is. Those are two totally different devices and designs. Waveguides have been investigated more thoroughly using electro-optic materials, spatial light modulators have not. I come from an engineering/physics background so I'm somewhat familiar with the design architectures. (see reply to post)
From the open letter,
Spatial Light Modulator
Together with Boulder Nonlinear Systems, we are developing a spatial light modulator that could be used in both defense and commercial applications like target recognition, facial recognition and other optical computing activities. This design is the brainchild of our own Terry Turpin, who is one of the foremost authorities on optical computing in the world. The initial feasibility study is now moving into a project design phase. We intend to put forth a timeline on this project after it is fully vetted. Successful development of this device will yield a million-fold performance improvement over current spatial light modulators that use older Liquid Crystal Display technology. Successful completion will open new markets in applications that heretofore have not been possible due to LCD technology that can only process 50 to 100 images per second.
So, bottom line, was Greenlee just a square peg round hole guy to the organization, or was his knowledge perhaps insufficient?
BSmith, just curious, are you bound by an NDA for your 1st hand workings with Perk materials? If not, how is that so?
good one george! he could do it blindfolded even!
never said you did, but since ponzi-poo is about half of the board posting now, and I know he cares, I just thought I'd share the truth he is in pursuit of from this early post,
To discover the truth mainly. I bought in here on a whim without doing any prior DD and am stuck now. I believed what I was told but the share price is not backing that up.
and here's a "max" of lwlg vs gig (lmra) comparison chart
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=LWLG&t=my&l=on&z=l&q=l&c=gig
and charts don't lie, lightwave has been in a holding pattern with some false starts, gig (lmra) has been an all out disaster
here's from an early ponzi-poo post
To discover the truth mainly. I bought in here on a whim without doing any prior DD and am stuck now. I believed what I was told but the share price is not backing that up.
LYING FROM THE START YOU HAVE ZERO CREDIBILITY HERE, WHAT YOU HAVE IS AN AGENDA FOR GIG AND TO DESTROY LWLG
wrong-o ponzi-poo, what x was saying was that the promise of the materials of the Perk family has always been there albeit with some problems along the way such as commercial levels of repeat-abilty, once again look at the talent pool that has assembled around the Perk, many big names here for long periods of time, greenlee was a square peg round hole plain and simple
dream on ponzi-poo, if the flawed fragile molecule worked Lou B would not be here now
ponzi-poo says Have any crimes been committed where investors could have a case?
are we talking lumera/gigoptix a company whose stock price has gone down from a split adjusted $80/share to $1/share now, need we list all of the ways they have screwed the shareholders?
ponzi-poo I think almost all here Know who you are and what company you represent, for those few who don't I will provide this clue
the ceo of this company reminds me of the ceo of a little company out of the past called worldcom, I think the ceo's name there was something like Burning Embers
or perhaps a company with a quasi next gen product offering based on a flawed fragile molecule has unleashed a goon squad to attack lightwave so as to prevent it from leap-frogging said products
x, agreed, also did Tom Z indicate that he knew, or suspected of any specific individual who may be BSmith?
obviously not expecting that name to be revealed, however, would expect the company to contact any such suspected individual
x, what about Sean's point on NDA for BSmith?
Sean asks If BS had first-hand research-type experience with the material, wouldn't this have made him and "insider" and subject to whatever NDA's were/are in force? And if so, wouldn't the public revelation that the goo was fatally flawed, be the very definition of "things you don't do when you are under an NDA"? And if he wasn't under an NDA, wouldn't it be highly improbable that he had first-hand practical interaction with the goo?
does a wolf in sheep's clothing's re-appearance coincident with an all out assault waged here these past 3 days be more than just a mere coincidence?
did they fool Siraj Nour El-Ahmadi too?

good point, very true I'd say, you don't get to work with Perk without being under NDA requirements, right? so BS would be in clear violation discussing on a public forum then
Sean asks "Has your experience with Perk led you to set aside that goo and focus on stuff with more promise?".
Sean, if the perk lacked promise of being a true next gen material I believe wholeheartedly that the cast of high level characters behind this company would crumble in a heartbeat, these guys are not blind & stupid people, and that hasn't been the case, in fact the list of illustrious talent on board has continued to grow over the years
Wise said B.S. and Poo are working with a level of vigor and determination far beyond anybody that lacks financial interest in LWLG
I agree with you Wise, and the timing of the all out assault comes just as the pps seemed to be gaining its footing after a badly misinterpreted conference call statement of the current status of the LSS rectified both in the posting of the call for re-listening, and in the open letter, in fact after being up 2 cents last Friday, that is when the assault started, it sure looks like there is a pointed objective of shaking out shares at the basement prices, keeping the pps on the matt so to speak, so investors here must ask themselves, do you trust the statements of one poster who seems pretty knowledgeable (BSmith) or do you put your faith in the many powerhouse names that have remained associated with this company for very long periods of time, personally it would be very hard for me to believe that Tom Z has given presentations to 8 or more investment firms this past month or so, feeding them pure bullcrap, and all the big names here with illustrious careers behind their names have not vetted a single thing about the materials as BSmith would have you believe, that just doesn't make any sense to me, I mean a guy like Fred L has an army of experts that he could call on in the drop of a hat if he needed any assistance in such a process, ditto for Joe M, Terry T, etc etc
BSmith said I love Terry. Down to earth guy. He's not involved in the day to day activities but the guy is a genius. He only knows what management tells him though which is a shame.
Terry Turpin has been working with the Perk for at least 5-7 years, and he has gotten up and made some very strongly positive statements about the materials here over those years, so I don't buy it that Terry is not a day to day guy and therefore is also "in the dark" like all the other high level genius types on board with lightwave tech you say are also "in the dark" victims
BSmith, how big is your army of assault here, are you an army of one (you) or do you have other credentialed people to stand at your side and swear by your declarations? (and no perkipoo/ponzi does not count)
Buz, no problem, and you may be right, but I am hoping due to the severity of the attack made on a public forum that management will feel it to be proper to a voice a rebuttal, now how specific they would be is anyone's guess, hopefully any rebuttal will be given in short order as BSmith certainly casts a dark cloud here
wrong-o buzzyboy, read the reply to post and note that I was the first to contact the company after the latest conference call where bozos like you misinterpreted what was said about the LSS
booyah! excellent call!
I can hardly wait to listen to this call again because it was packed with great progress notes!
the LSS comment of being kind of on hold was I'm sure the reason why so many here have declared the call a disaster, it was somewhat confusing to me as well, but at face value I certainly did not take it to mean the LSS project was dead, so I did the unthinkable and voiced this message board's concerns to Steve and got this reply,
We are putting the call up shortly. I think that you may have misinterpreted what we said. If you recall, the LSS liked our material but had wanted us to achieve certain other parameters which requires synthetic work. We are actually working on that, however we are also working on perfecting our materials for use in our own device structures. Tom made the decision to focus on this effort first before we go back to the LSS with our materials. This way--as he said on the call, we will be dealing from a position of power. Shareholders should be happy about this in my opinion.
Hope this helps.
buz, you are getting quite annoying, there is no sense my sending management the same BS posts that x and walter have already sent, the rebuttal would presumably be the same
Buz, based on your comprehension skills related to what I actually posted you may need to retake a remedial reading class
six, walter and x have already forwarded on all of the BSmith posts to management and I am confident they will share the rebuttal with investors here on this message board.
As for all of your questions, I am not your servant dude, why don't YOU contact management and report back to US here on this message board
as for my question to BS why don't you just butt out, as the timing is an important piece of info to ME and abviously not to YOU
BSmith, I'll try asking this of you again,
BSmith please disclose the timeframe of where your allegations arise with perk, was it
a) within past 1 year
b) within past 2-5 years
c) over 5 years ago
Scope, interesting take, in addition I question the timing of his heavy artillery assault on the company and the materials now with the stock at virtually all-time lows around 70 cents, why couldn't he have given us all this valuable "insight" so clearly a couple of months ago when the pps was at a buck twenty, after all he has been posting here since July 2013, then we could have all saved ourselves from the impending doom at a little better price, lol, right?
seems to me that the timing of this assault is aimed at flushing out shares at bargain basement prices, and, perhaps ending the company's chances at any additional funding in what may be an attempt to stall/end/destroy any future chance of this tech coming to commercialization
