Waiting for news of commercialization and lab advancements, not exactly a novel concept since that's pretty much the same same as the last year.
What's different? The pps has fallen into the 6s, this is the same kind of hope and change that Obama's promised.
TPIV coming out with statements like "gamechanger" when referring to the lastest news shows not only the confidence they have in the science they've developed, but also the excitement over this discovery as it places TPIV into a new and different category than other cancer fighting technologies.
LOL. Everytime the pps rises to 22 there's a sell of a few thousand bringing it back down to 20.
And along those same lines, until we have customers, the market isn't buying what we're selling.
Monster silk inventory isn't needed, more customers aren't needed, and apparently the confidence of the market isn't needed.
Gee, I wonder why the pps is at 7 cents?
Gotta love those traders, doing their best to push the stock down in order to buy shares of investors that panic.
I totally agree. Don't know how this could be viewed other than great news, expanding the use of TPIV technology into areas heretofore not realized. Investors may not understand all the medical terminology used, but you can bet the major players and corporations know exactly how it relates to the science being developed by TPIV.
I surmised long ago that if Monster silk was a product worth commercial value, why didn't we have a warehouse filled with it in anticipation of deals being made. Zinc posted it would cost too much money to store this inventory, and I believe it was es that predicted it would be foolish since Monster silk would be made obsolete by the evolving science.
One of the main reasons for a pc was to introduce Monster silk to companies that could use the physical properties in products that Kim couldn't even foresee as potential uses. He stated in the cc that since the PNAS report companies have come forward, many with proposed uses for Monster silk unforeseen by Kim, more in fact than KBLB needed.
IMO one of the biggest hurdles in signing business deals is the lack of inventory, and how long it will take to ramp up the production of Monster silk. How great would it be to have that inventory now, being able to supply ALL the companies that desired Monster silk and to have the revenue stream from those sales. Wonder what that would do to the pps?
8 cent drop on positive news from Mayo clinic? Can anybody say stock manipulation? Sell now and you'll be buying back much higher.
Wow, that is quite an article. You can bet major players are looking towards a buyout, no major corp wants the competition to corner the markets that the numerous potential uses of this science represents.
OMG, of course there's nothing wrong with having the address of the lab or pictures of it. KBLB has enough problems with potential investors having confidence in it without refusing to even supply the most basic of information. I'm more than a little disappointed with Ben's reply to look for it on the website a month from now, if that is an example of Kim's revamped IR then I don't suppose there's going to be much change in the way KBLB does business and therefore not much change in how the market views it.
Every move the company makes raises the confidence that this science is for real and it's only a matter of time before positive data is revealed from clinical trials. When that happens, a pps of 1.00 will be steal, much less the price we're looking at now.
Is this accurate?
Boy, if TPIV is holding back any positive news now would be the time for a pr. But that's only after we get all the .20s-30s we want.
Trust and confidence in Kim, belief in the science. Short of a commercial deal, these are the building blocks that will move KBLB to the next level.
Damn, wish I had more to invest. As the science continues to prove successful, the pps is going to go through the roof, and any buyout would be based on a HUGE market share.
Kim is being true to his word, and I find that almost as important as the news he released.
Your reference to me as a flipper is laughable, pot calling the kettle black, es.
Could you be any more negative,es? I for one appreciate that Kim is backing up what was said in the cc and view this as the beginning of a new concept in the way KBLB handles business.
Why would you post this, you may disagree with my views but you KNOW I don't want fluff prs and why would you turn this positive pr negative just to accuse me of it?
Why would I want to move on? I believe in KBLB, just want the market to believe also. If you're satisfied with the pps, and everything it entails, then fine for you. KBLB is far too valuable a company to be trading at 7 cents a share, and the ONLY reason is we don't have the confidence of the market.
Kim can correct that, IMO the biggest positive from the cc was the acknowledgement that IR needed to be upgraded. Taking KBLB into the public eye not only increases name recognition amongst perspective companies and investors but also increases the confidence in them that KBLB isn't hiding anything, that it is for real and is both ready and capable to produce spider silk products. It's very apparent this didn't happen in the cc, so let's kick that IR into gear and put KBLB out there in the public arena.
Ah, Kim's perfect shareholder.
Thank goodness Kim didn't do any major interviews or hold any pc during the media blitz following the release of the PNAS report. We already have more companies than we need ready to sign deals with KBLB, and apparently all the capital needed to expand into production of Monster silk.
And the best of all is we can buy shares for 7 cents, and maybe cheaper in the future, so everything looks golden just as long as it's all true. The market doesn't think so, and thankfully Kim has done nothing to convince them because those shares would double or triple if he did. That's the last thing we need, because we have to lease a lab and production facility and other things before we ever let the market in on our secret.
Brilliant.
Remember the good old days when the pps was above .10? Of course, that was before the media blitz over the PNAS article that justified the science and the cc that indicated more companies than desired were interested in purchasing Monster silk.
I don't think we can stand anymore good news, I know the market can't.
Will KBLB gain the confidence of the market? Just saw a double-eagle at the Masters, the impossible CAN happen!!
Thanks King, you may have opened a whole new avenue of proposed KBLB presentation that I can post on the board. I'm sure you'll be thanked by all the others that enjoy my posts, but hey, you'll deserve it.
Does Kim have a logo for Monster silk? Like Monster energy drink logo known world-wide, simple yet effective and very popular.
Thank goodness Ihub isn't closed, or I wouldn't be able to share my ideas.
Do you think that if the market believed everything Kim said regarding the multi-million and billion dollar companies being interested in Monster silk that the pps would be still be falling? What is your reasoning for that happening?
Apparently KBLB is on the verge on signing huge commercial deals, why wouldn't the market seize the opportunity before deals are signed and the opportunity lost? Trust, pure and simple.
To keep it simple, we did have a product back in Dec., and it's the same product Kim is proposing to sell to companies now.
You are really missing the point, Kim made certain statements in the cc regarding Monster silk and the interest of companies, etc. that if were believed would greatly enhance KBLB in the eyes of the market. It's apparent from the reaction of the market, those statements are not yet taken as reliable, and potential investors aren't going to risk monies until there's a event that convinces them KBLB is for real.
The market needs to see Kim in the media putting his reputation on the line by simply reassuring investors that Monster silk is a product with physical properties desired by industry, and that commercial deals with several companies are in the works. What don't you understand about trust?
KBLB share price IS based on speculation and possibilities, but it is very narrow minded to think until we have sales shares should be worth so little. If the cc was believed by the market, speculation of sales would have risen greatly and the possibilities of future products also. The pps should have risen accordingly, but it didn't because of the market's refusal to recognize KBLB as a viable company capable of those accomplishments.
I'm right and you're wrong, no two ways about it.
I apologize, apparently I misinterpreted your post.
Well, the new lab comes to mind. Will it be sufficient for the ramp up of Monster silk production, or will a separate facility be needed?
You start preparing a product for distribution, there are various avenues to take, hate for Kim to make decisions based on his fear of dilution.
LOL. Hope so, my feline-loving friend. But if the power-hitter wants more money from the crowd to watch him hit, there's gonna be a lot of empty seats that don't believe he can hit that home run.
If a company develops a innovative scientific process that could produce commercial products that are desired by various industries, and have that process peer reviewed, what could possibly be the reason for the market to refuse to invest in that company?
Share price too high? At .075, I don't think so. No market for those products? I think it's been established the potential products are only limited by the science.
What could it be, why wouldn't potential investors jump at the chance to buy at this share price? Answer, they don't yet believe what Kim said in the cc, and are fearful of losing money to traders and dilution and rightfully so.
Their loss, us investors that are long are the smart ones that are willing to let traders and dilution eat away any investment profits. We'll wait for that home-run, because traders tell us that's not only smart but we don't need any new investment.
Brilliant.
OMG, I had no idea the concepts and proven tactics of marketing and advertising had been totally reversed. Was this new method of market recognition brought about by the innovative tactics used by KBLB?
"The share price will reflect the product when the product is ready for market."
Well, how's that working? We have the product, we have buyers, we have a falling share price. Maybe we have to wait for that share price to rise after we purchase a lab, production co, etc., heck maybe that's more innovative ideas by KBLB that will revolutionize the entire marketing strategy.
All those companies that spend BILLIONS on advertising, sales, etc., what fools they are. All they need to do is sit back and wait for their products to sell themselves, apparently by word of mouth. KBLB is brilliant, why waste time on prs when they can waste millions on dilution?
If Kim does a pc, gives a presentation of Monster silk as a product along with explanation of further developments, the pps will skyrocket. No massive dilution of shares, enough capital to build the best production facility needed.
If Kim doesn't, the pps will fall. Dilution will devastate longs investments.
Your choice, Kim.
That's exactly why Kim has to step up and convince the market and investors this time is the real deal. If he doesn't the pps is going to drop or stay the same depending on how many investors can be convinced to believe what he says without any sacrifice on his part, and even those will shudder when dilution begins without a rising pps.
By sacrifice I mean Kim putting his name, face, and reputation before the media and confirm what he said in the cc. The market won't trust him if he doesn't, and neither will I, because you're right about the cc being similar to Kim's earlier statements. But I'm fairly confident he will do that considering his IR statements, and it's on that alone that I am counting on Kim to do what's needed for KBLB to pull out of the extreme threat of massive dilution.
Any CEO in Kim's position would do anything possible to raise the pps to avoid the kind of dilution major purchases such as the lab will involve. If he's going to do something like that, there's no reason it shouldn't be sooner rather than later and frankly, that's what I'm counting on.
IMO the risk goes to practically zero if Kim steps up, if not, it gets much higher.
I've been beating this board for months for more publicity, free publicity, there's just a lot of posters that don't agree, for their own reasons they think silence is best. Keeping KBLB under wraps hasn't worked yet, wonder why they still argue for it?
It's pretty clear that there still isn't any confidence in the market that KBLB is a reliable investment opportunity. Whether this comes from a year of prs announcing successful lab developments that have only resulted in a falling pps, or fear of massive dilution, or perhaps questions as to Kim's ability to legitimately produce a commercial product, doesn't really matter since all are legitimate reasons.
Kim's recent cc, if taken at face value, should have went a long way to answer such fears. But it didn't, not to the market, and not to many current investors. I believed Kim in his comments regarding Monster silk, the intense interest of companies, and the plans for moving forward with commercial products.
But the market isn't going to take Kim's word for it, he'll have to follow through and take IR to the next level and convince the public his statements in the cc were accurate and that KBLB has indeed the science to produce spider silk products.
For a penny stock it's upside is incredible and the risk/reward ratio is tilting heavily towards reward.
Ben enthusiastic about expanding public knowledge of Monster silk, KBLB ramping up for production breeding, these are both positive and hopefully the market will be made aware in the very near future that KBLB is for real.
Thanks for that, Ocho, it's a big step in the right direction. It's exactly what the market is waiting for, an introduction of Monster silk to the public as well as a confirmation of the science in relation to commercial products.
Perhaps Kim can finally get the pps increase he needs to make the moves he wants without huge dilution of stock.
Boy, I didn't see that coming. You, Red, es, Zinc, and most others, all agree that Ben's doing a great job. Well I guess that's all the information needed to convince me that most posters agree.
And since I really want your's and many other's respect then I'll put aside everything I truly believe and simply agree with you.
