Lets not forget..... surprise buyout. :)
You could be right. We'll have to wait and see.
Have a good evening. Peace.
Yeah, anybody guess is good. Be nice to see
a lift off by Thanksgiving. :)
John Rice deliver a new batch of eggs. Which raise more questions for me.
Was the batch in quarantine all that time or was this a second new
batch delivered? Was the first batch in quarantine for a short time then
release to start production? It not clear to me what these PR mean. If it
is the latter, I would think the first roll of dragon silk is completed
because Polartec receive sample and that came from one of 2 places.
Hopefully, It will be a good Thanksgiving for KBLB and investors. Peace
To uplist? yeah, I think that is still possible.
My first thought was Nov 18, 2019 when the second
batch would be ready. after reading Golferman's post.
I change my mind. Full production by Thanksgiving?
Maybe, It would be nice.
Just s feeling the second batch will be ready by DEC 8.
Then the price will take off again after some announcement
from KBLB. This was cut and paste from Golferman's post# 177089 .
The Company is already in the process of removing the finished cocoons from the mounting frames, which will be complete by November 6th. Upon completion, the cocoons will be prepared for the silk moths to emerge. As reported, late last month, the entire population of emerging silk moths will be dedicated to breeding stock, in order to rapidly expand the Company silk production capacity at Prodigy Textiles.
4 weeks from November 6..... takes us to December 4 ( first week in December)
He could be right on. I just have a feeling it might be on the 8th.
Peace
Prediction, it will happened again on Dec 8, 2019. Peace
:) yeah, that right. Stop that. :)
A reminder to what coming our way. $$$
“This breakthrough has powerful ramifications that affect the core of how we develop future spider silk materials,” said COO Jon Rice. “These newly confirmed transgenics mark a revolutionary advancement in capability of our spider silk materials. The new tools developed by Dr. Kane and our research team will allow us to target commercial markets that were not originally on our radar.”
Screening of these samples confirms that the gene edit was successful, validating the underlying protocols and genetic constructs. Furthermore, western blot analysis, performed on the silk, confirms expression of this new and potentially much more powerful spider silk protein. These results open the door for the Company to deploy this new methodology towards a variety of tailored spider silk designs. Kraig Labs expects these new recombinant spider silk fiber lines will open up broader commercial opportunities and complement the Company’s existing Monster Silk™ and Dragon Silk™ technologies.

Nice to see the finish product. :)
Thanks Truth. Peace
If and when the reverse happens, it could be a good thing or bad.
I dont think there will be RS. However, I have made up my mind
to risk it all in hope that it will pay off. A good friend of mine
told me no one know what the stock market will do. I agreed with him.
Peace.
You're right. 2006

Some information on QSBS,
If you own Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS), you may be eligible to eliminate tax on all or a large portion of your gain when you sell. Many founders and entrepreneurs who are unaware of the existence and benefits of QSBS may be missing out on potential savings. Rules applying to QSBS were created to urge investment in certain small businesses by allowing investors the opportunity to avoid tax on some or all of their gain from the disposition of QSBS. The specific requirements to determine whether or not a stock is QSBS are explained in detail below.
Andersen professionals focus on the unique circumstances of entrepreneurs and their companies. We are well-versed in the intricacies of QSBS, the associated filings and documentation, and steps that may be needed to meet the requirements.
Why is it Important?
Gains from selling Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) may be eligible for up to 100% exclusion from federal income tax – which means, when you sell your qualifying stocks, you could avoid paying federal tax on gains of up to $10 million or 10x your tax basis (basis for this purpose is equal to the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property contributed to the corporation in exchange for the stock). For example, if you invested $2 million in a QSBS in 2013, you could sell that stock five or more years later for up to $22 million and pay zero federal income tax on that gain, a savings of nearly $5 million at today's rates. Companies and individuals must follow certain requirements in order to qualify.
Basic Requirements of Qualified Small Business Stock
• Company is a domestic C corporation
• Stock is issued after August 10, 1993
• Stock is acquired by taxpayer directly from the company for money, property (other than stock), or services (limited exceptions to this rule)
• The tax basis of the total gross assets of the corporation at all times from August 10, 1993 until immediately after the issuance of the taxpayer’s stock must be less than $50 million (for assets contributed to the corporation, tax basis is determined based on the fair market value of the assets immediately after contribution)
• Certain redemptions can retroactively eliminate QSBS treatment

It worth looking into. I'm waiting for a response from Ameritrade.
Ameritrade's Owner Toronto-Dominion Bank? (42.7%).
They could be an underwriter. Peace
Alright, that good to know. King posted this to me.
I don't know if it is true but I will try to find this out.
Truth posted this I think back in July. You would have to ask him about the details.

Silicon Valley Tax Trick Helps Investors Save Big
While former Vice President Joe Biden made headlines for using a loophole in the tax Opens a New Window. code to save big on his tax bill, savvy Silicon Valley Opens a New Window. investors and workers have a few tricks up their sleeve as well.
A tax code provision regulating Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) is key for some of these individuals to save on gains realized.
The provision applies to investors in companies that, first and foremost, have gross assets valued at $50 million or less at the time the investment is made. People in this position are, in some cases, able to completely write off federal taxes on the first $10 million or 10 times the basis of the investment, whichever is greater.
“It’s a terrific benefit if you qualify,” Bill Smith, managing director for CBIZ MHM’s National Tax Office, told FOX Business.
In order to qualify as QSBS, the company must be a C corporation. The stock must have been issued after August 10, 1993, and must have been acquired directly from the issuing corporation or its underwriter. The qualifying stock must be held for more than five years.
Among several other stipulations, the company must also be engaged in a qualified business or trade, which excludes a number of fields including health, law, engineering, architecture and financial services. But most technology companies would qualify.
Smith noted that most people are likely to qualify for the 100 percent exclusion – which just requires that they received their stock after September 2010 (before that time the exclusion was typically 50 percent).
It’s also important to note that the company’s gross assets can exceed $50 million after a person acquires shares.
Investors, therefore, have the ability to save millions in taxes on their gains.
This could be a big help to employees at startups, who often get a share of their company’s stock. It also benefits people who get in early on a company going public, Smith noted.
The rules were designed to encourage investment in certain small businesses.

The good news for investors? The provision does not appear to be going away anytime soon.
Smith said he hadn’t heard a “peep” about it being under scrutiny, as lawmakers focus their efforts on other parts of the tax code.
Alright King, thanks for the infor. Peace
I heard of it here on this board. I believe it is a way to put off
paying taxes for a little while. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Have a good evening. Peace.
I think kblb will prove they can mass produce on the 18th of this month.
The only worry there will be then is the tax man. :)
Hey guys, the meat and potatoes.
The second round of production is slated to begin later this month and the resulting silk cocoons will be reeled and spun into finished silk thread. This thread will be the first recombinant spider silk thread available from Prodigy Textiles and is scheduled to be delivered to a collaborative partner the Company has been working with to develop new materials and applications.
With operations now fully underway, the Company expects to maintain a continuous production output at Prodigy Textiles and will plan to bring additional materials to market to address the backlog of inquiries in the coming months.
GOTTA LOVE KBLB :)
Good, about 3 weeks left, we are good to go.
Someone reminded me of a PS. I think was Jan xx 2019.
Make me think they have products ready to sell. No need
for a RS. Just a PR that will carry the share price to NASDAQ.
2 on the backburner, Military and Medical field waiting for
finish product. GLTA
I'm not familiar with, unrestricted publicly held shares +
market value, unrestricted round lot share holders, I don't know those
those terms or meaning.
Quick answer, have kblb met those requirement under
financial and Liquidity requirements equity standard?
What are the Listing Requirements for the Nasdaq?
BY MARY HALL Updated Aug 5, 2019
Major stock exchanges, like the Nasdaq, are exclusive clubs—
their reputations rest on the companies they trade. As such,
the Nasdaq won't allow just any company to be traded on its
exchange. Only companies with a solid history and top-notch
management behind them are considered.
The Nasdaq has four sets of listing requirements. Each
company must meet at least one of the four requirement sets,
as well as the main rules for all companies.
Listing Requirements for All Companies
Each company must have a minimum of 1,250,000 publicly
traded shares upon listing, excluding those held by
officers, directors or any beneficial owners of more than
10% of the company.
Also, the regular bid price at the time of listing must be
$4.00, and there must be at least three market makers for
the stock.
However, a company may qualify under a closing price
alternative of $3.00 or $2.00 if the company meets varying
requirements.
Each listing firm is also required to follow Nasdaq
corporate governance rules 4350, 4351 and 4360.
Companies must also have at least 450 round lot
(100 shares) shareholders, 2,200 total shareholders,
or 550 total shareholders with 1.1 million average trading
volume over the past 12 months.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Major stock exchanges, like the Nasdaq, are exclusive clubs
—their reputations rest on the companies they trade.
The Nasdaq has four sets of listing requirements.
Each company must meet at least one of the four requirement
sets, as well as the main rules for all companies.
In addition to these requirements, companies must meet all
of the criteria under at least one of the following
standards.
A company has four ways to get listed on the Nasdaq,
depending on the underlying fundamentals of the company.
In addition to these requirements, companies must meet all
of the criteria under at least one of the following
standards.
Standard No. 1: Earnings
The company must have aggregate pre-tax earnings in the
prior three years of at least $11 million, in the previous
two years at least $2.2 million, and no single year in the
prior three years can have a net loss.
Standard No. 2: Capitalization With Cash Flow
The company must have a minimum aggregate cash flow of at
least $27.5 million for the past three fiscal years, with
no negative cash flow in any of those three years. Also,
its average market capitalization over the prior 12 months
must be at least $550 million, and revenues in the previous
fiscal year must be $110 million, minimum.
Standard No. 3: Capitalization With Revenue
Companies can be removed from the cash flow requirement of
the second standard if its average market capitalization
over the past 12 months is at least $850 million and
revenues over the prior fiscal year are at least
$90 million.
Standard No. 4: Assets With Equity
Companies can eliminate the cash flow and revenue
requirements, and decrease its marketing capitalization
requirements to $160 million if their total assets total at
least $80 million and their stockholders' equity is at least
$55 million.
A company has four ways to get listed on the Nasdaq,
depending on the underlying fundamentals of the company.
If a company does not meet certain criteria, such as the
operating income minimum, it has to make it up with larger
minimum amounts in another area, like revenue. This helps
to improve the quality of companies listed on the exchange.
After a company gets listed on the market, it must maintain
certain standards to continue trading. Failure to meet the
specifications set out by the stock exchange will result in
its delisting. Falling below the minimum required share
price, or market capitalization is one of the major factors
triggering a delisting. The exact details of delisting
depend on the exchange
After reading the the link you provided,
I think you are right. I bet they do have products ready.
Peace Bro.
I don't blame you for wanting to buy now shares.
Now is the time to be buying. Production is less
than 3 weeks away. Godbless Bro. :)
I believe you are right. The doubts and fears
can be put to rest. Have a good evening. Peace
Gargamel, is that you? LOL
I know there might be a RS. But until KBLB says there is/will be an RS.
There is no RS.
I'm not wanting to go back an forth with this.
" I hope Kim does not screw up the RS " .
To me, that mean there is a RS. That how I read it.
There is no RS. I'm not asking you to think for me.
I was asking you about RS.
Correct, there might be an rs.
You're the one that said there is " reverse split ".
I wanted to know where you got that from. Until there is
a statement made about RS. There is no RS.
oooh okay. so there is no reverse split on record.
You just said, " I hope Kim does not screw up the reverse split".
You the first to say that. What reverse split?
Care to clarity That? Where does it say reverse split?
on track to set new production capacity records for the Company.
Depend on how we look at it. This could mean there was production
going on before the new batch was deliver in Vietnam factory. Peace
Wait until KBLB drop the bomb. :)
Then Dupont and Honeywell will be crying MORE! MORE! :)
In 2 to 3 weeks, Jon Rice made good on his words.
Alright guys, lets see how well KBLB stock does this week. Peace
Wow, news came out today and the price drop down.
Don't matter to me. KBLB is good. Just the waiting
to get thngs moving is hard. Peace
CEO KT got your money. ( """ gasp """ )
It going to pop. Soon. :)
You have the freedom to say what you want. I been following kblb long time
and wonder what the delays were. No explanation was ever given from CEO
Kim Thompson. Therefore, I can't go along with what you say of KT.
You could be right about the price being 0.20 to 0.25 in June. KT never
said he has no interest of investors. Peace.
I understand the pain of waiting. It is hard to do.
You can guess at what CEO Kim Thompson is doing and
you may be right. There no way to know for sure.
I would refrain from calling Kim a word player or
master of hype until it is proven beyond doubts.
No one know what the stock market is going to do.
You are invested in kblb because you think it will
pay off. I think that a good bet. Peace.
I was hoping for news this week to get kblb going again.
Gotta stay positive. No one know what the stock market will do. Peace
