It's just supply and demand, the shorts borrow from the accumulating institutions and can throw down shares in the middle of terrific news to make some nervous.
X. Whatever, I cannot comfort everyone.
Of course, that is the game. You have reality, and you have the game. Lightwaves has no debt, cash for over 1 year in the bank so that is cool by me. Companies that run out of money get in trouble, so yawn, cool by me. I'll take a company with no debt no need for tricky financing schemes everyday of the week. Companies that do not owe money do not go under, business 101. This recent talent is working on something, I'm cool.
My money is on Lebby, call me crazy, whatever, if he is wrong you won't see me complaining. I think he knows this market, demand etc. inside and out.
X
Only news, if Lightwave doesn't deliver, the shorts can borrow and sell forever. That is what they want you guys to think.
Oh ye, of little faith, that is how one gets played in this game.
Be mad at me for doing homework and putting more weight on my homework, not head games. I think soon enough we will strut around like a gobler.
Sorry, but wussy is not in my investment game
X. If folks think the shorts are right sell, just do not look back. Shoulda, woulda is not in my vocabulary, If I'm wrong oh well, life gives us opportunities we weigh each and wake up in the morning. I think Lebby knows the market better that I.
I'm just looking at a buyer of 20 million shares and smacking my lips when Lebby throws down a PR. Let your conscious be your guide.
Funny, I say that I saw a very large short play this morning that was setting up, it turned the shorts did over 250k short today.
Ted changes his ID (again) we call it out, and some of you were indeed gaslighted. Very interesting to watch emotions in play.
I'm still long and strong.
Only those keeping their focus on the technology, not the day to day games, are not shaken. They can play some like a fiddle.

Yawn, I wasn't aware the conference was over yet.
X. This shall pass.
Tedbots gone wild.

15th was about 21 million it is about the same now, the price is up about 3%. They were trending down on the overall short number but it jumped back up today. 20.5 to 21.5 they play around.
Nothing crazy to report.
Yes close today will be the official 3/15 Finra Number T+2 so puts it on the 13th,
X
So 100k of the shares they lined up this morning were just returned without using.
63k more sells than buys, down 12 cents which is about right.
My order didn't fill.
X Thank goodness I'm not flying out of Baltimore for the SHM, they are going to be jammed up for a couple years.
Back down to where I think I should do a lil buy, order in, round and round lets see if it gets filled.

Back to the old Ted format.
You guys are

and Worried a little more.
X I'm not going to argue about Feeling one way or another, smelly things, word changes. There are too many verticals in progress and 3 different businesses plays you'll see. Goggle, hmm, I'm still saying NVDA first.
You gotta love this, why didn't the company say how many thousands of Modulators they poled? They didn't say how many thousands they poled so they are lying. I though you guys were saying that they couldn't pole wafers.
X Ted come on, you can do better than that.
Shorts are kind of walking a tight rope, Lebby is at a conference, they are shorting to make it look like nothing is going on.
Ted We really don't care what you believe, I mean in your first post ever (under this ID), you stated that there are multiple ways to interpret a press release so if you do that of course you there are multiple ways you can twist things.
This is another TED ID = AdamN

What? Are there multiple ways to interpret "the press release yesterday clearly said that the testing they did, which was at 4 x 200 was on modulators that were “based on” 200 MM wafers" sounds pretty clear to me.
But you said that it was years and years away, now anyone can do it? The Pie is Trillions of dollars, I say the more the merrier, the more buz the more buz.
Do not forget the ALD patent that Lightwave owns it gets rid of the box, other polymers will need it, don't forget about the Polymer device patents that Lightwave controls, it is kind of a big deal.
X,
You certainly changed your tune quick enough. If only you had the ability to change earlier in your investment career.
Again, I like this.
I doubt that people will forgive you for being wrong (Punkin), but they (Punkin) will never forgive you for being right (X)—especially if events prove you (x) right while proving them (Punkin) wrong in prior investments (LMRA). Just ask th6565
Do the math, They just bumped it up to 352k shorts so I'd guess those additional 27k shares are in the process of being played.
18k more sells than buys down 6 cents, as we would expect.
Many investors have the memory of a squirrel, luckily the Photonics industry does not.
They the shorts are good at their game, if one looks at this as just a game they would win. However, that is without factoring in the business side.
X Watch later in the day if they cover some of those shares. Yawn.
It explains why the industry has been reluctant in adopting polymers. Some like to pint their fingers at the wrong person.
I said it was for newbies, not old heads.

Wow this quote at the end of your post certainly appears relevant to your inability to get over being wrong on Lumera when I told you that you were wrong. This is your quote not mine.
People will forgive you for being wrong, but they will never forgive you for being right—especially if events prove you right while proving them wrong.
People will forgive you for being wrong (Punkin), but they (Punkin) will never forgive you for being right (X)—especially if events prove you (x) right while proving them (Punkin) wrong. Just ask th6565
The difference is that Lumera's Polymer was flawed, Period. The freaked spooked the entire industry, well, Data, Data, Data is finally available to them. Follow me now.
Here is the Punkin history. Only for newbies because those posting on this board understand his history.
The true story of the origins of the Great Punkin trying to flip the script, he will somehow enjoy me writing about him because I kind of live in his head.
Larry Dalton U of D Professor was well respected despite trouble going as far back as 1967, anyhow, he headed up the NSF funding and directed the money that he oversaw to his interests in a polymer that simply did not work. Way back when I was told that by the founders at Lightwave Logic that money that they were hoping for was directed 100% to Dalton (I think it was NSF money he did not tell me the origins of that money) but it was widely known that the polymer receiving the funding was flawed and Lightwaves was not. It was an obvious attempt to squash competition. Somehow Lightwave managed to survive.
OK so when I saw this going on I went to the Yahoo Lumera board and warned the Lumera investors that their polymer was flawed, some investors like TH looked at the facts, took my advice and came to Lightwave, last I heard he was up 8 figures here. Punkin who was on the Yahoo board did not listen and flooded the LWLG with messages that didn’t make any sense apparently thinking that somehow, that I could magically cause flaws in Lumeras polymer and if it wasn’t for me posting the modulators that Lumera sold to the industry would function. Yahoo changed the posting rules so that links could not be posted so folks on the Yahoo board moved here, Lumera went Bankrupt, hush money was donated,,,, you will see I put a link to the complete story below. That is why you see Punks name only being 8 years old, he created a new ID. Oh yes and Pitcook blames me also for “ruining the Yahoo board”. I just scratch my head. As for DOA I have no clue what he thinks I did, I only met him twice and Z gave a shirt headed for me to him, LOL. Oh hey check it out Lebby finally gave me a shirt at this year's SHM, only took a few decades.
So anyway, after living through that Pumpkin has become a self-appointed EO Polymer expert. I just scratch my head, I told him of the problem when the stock was at $8.00, he didn’t listen and the industry rejected that flawed technology shortly after the stock went down then they did an 8 for 1 reverse split and he thinks that if he posts negatively here it will make everything right, he is just projecting what he lived through there on this board. In essence he is carrying Larry Daltons damage to the origins of this company forward.
We are far and away past that oh and ironically thanks to us the investors at Lightwave the company has $30 million (almost the same amount that they got beat out of by LD) in the bank and no debt. Labs combined and expanded and still with no debt, Kind of cool, we did it! Coincidence?
And yet some Blame Lebby for the industries slow adoption of Polymers. Think about that for a moment as you read the story in the link below.
OK here is quick summary.
In Larry Dalton founded Lumera as a subsidiary of Microvision, Inc. in 2000
Back in 2006 Lumera jumped from to $1.58 on Friday, Oct. 13 to $7.56 on Oct. 24.
In 2007 they generated their first revenue, but the product was junk not stable and honestly it didn’t work. Remember that back then there was no test equipment available. As info Lightwave has worked with test equipment manufactures to develop today's test equipment, when I was touring the lab a few years ago I picked up the tester and turned it over serial number was 2.
Aug 15, 2007 — Aug 15 (Reuters) - Lumera Corp. LMRA.O said Chief Executive Thomas Mino resigned.
In this timeframe the company declared bankruptcy
March 27,2008 proposed merger Lumera Corporation (“Lumera”) @ GigOptix LLC, GigOptix, Inc.,
December 9, 2008 after the merger the price was $1.72, as adjusted to reflect a 1 for 8 reverse stock split.
A few years ago Lightwave bought Lumera’s (GigOptix) IP of particular interest was the device technology that was invented at U of W some of which was good, other patents help provide a roadblock.
Dalton Story he is referred to as “LD” throughout the story
2003-04 Part of the large investment in LD and the UW was $36million from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for a Science and Technology Center (STC) that was active from2002 to 2013 and was led by LD during its first five years.55In 2003, BK received a $40,000 subcontract from this center. On first examining some of LD’s materials, it was Kahr B. and Hollingsworth MD.2019.Journal of Scientific Practice and Integrity. 1(1).DOI: 10.35122/jospi.2019.740579©2019 by the author(s). This article is distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license.6immediately obvious to BK that they did not have strong dye alignment, as reported in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.46The materials did not show linear dichroism,56,57,58,59,60thechange in the absorption of light with respect toa polarized light source (Figure 4). (Polarizing sunglasses work because they are responsive to polarized light reflected from horizontal surfaces such as wet roadways and bodies of water.) Linear dichroism was a prerequisite for the ordering of dyes that was presumed to be necessary for the materials to act as efficient light switches.61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68In 2004, LD’s team had never made measurements of linear dichroism, a phenomenon that was first observed in thin films of dyes in the middle of the 19thcentury.69,70BKbegan to make urgent requests to focus the attention of the leading investigators in the center on the question of dye orientation. These requests were ignored. BK appealed to Kwiram, a former Vice Provost for Research with high statureat the UW. Kwiram had become the executive director of LD’s NSF center. In 2004, BK told Kwiram, among many others, that the center’s science was wrong at its heart and that nobody would act.
BK was obliged to write a report for the NSF at the end of the 2003-4 fiscal year.75The report said what should have been obvious to a scientist in possession of any of LD’s samples and a computer monitor (the old sunglasses polaroid trick).

I thought you said it would take atleast another 10 years? Now you are saying that anyone can do it? Which is it.
Then you have the ALD they would need as well as the device patents.

The shorts just reported 325k shares, that is an ass ton. Rules are Still under T+2 so I'm pretty sure that it was a combo of Friday and Mondays play with perhaps a few for today.
They did not short it at the bell which is truly out of character for them. Look for some maneuvering to make Vein complain like a 2 year old that thinks he is helping.
Stay Tuned.
Oh and remember that T+1 goes into effect at about the same time as the shareholders meeting. While they will still play games it will tighten some things.

Lightwave Logic Demonstrates World-Class 200Gbps Heterogeneous Polymer/Silicon Photonic Modulator Results The Company Discussed Extending Silicon Photonics Performance using its Proprietary Perkinamine® Electro-Optic Materials Based on 200mm Commercial Wafers at the 2024 Optical Fiber Conference in San Diego.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor, today announced that Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Michael Lebby discussed the latest world-class results for the company's 200Gbps heterogeneous polymer/silicon photonic modulator at a record low drive voltage at the 2024 Optical Fiber Conference (OFC) in San Diego, California. OFC is a leading international conference bringing together the complete value chain of fiber communications, datacentric, and telecommunications industrial players.
The results were shown in Dr. Lebby's presentation on March 24, 2024 during an industry workshop entitled "Will Heterogeneous Integration Meet the Needs of Future Applications?", featuring co-panelists and speakers from six other companies. The panel focused on opportunities for heterogeneous integration of various materials including polymers and silicon - providing a roadmap for very high-performance optical polymer modulators that can operate with very low power consumption (via low voltage) and are very small in size - making them suitable for pluggable optical transceivers as well as on-board optics.
In the presentation, Dr. Lebby discussed the company's latest world-class results based on a novel packaged heterogeneous polymer EO modulator design leveraging silicon photonics devices from a 200mm production foundry process and Lightwave Logic's proprietary high temperature, high performance EO Polymer material. Each modulator was operated at 100GBaud PAM4 and achieved all drive voltages below 2V, and as low as 1V which is excellent for low power operation. Dr. Lebby discussed the test set-up for the high-speed results, and how electro-optic polymer-based modulators based on 200mm silicon foundry wafers are ideal for 4 channel 200Gbps per lane 800Gbps pluggable optical transceivers for datacenter applications. Dr. Lebby also shared updated lifetime and reliability data for both the electro-optic polymer materials and electro-optic polymer devices.
By leveraging the mature semiconductor ecosystem, silicon photonics has historically afforded unparalleled cost reduction and a deep level of integration, though due to fundamental physics limitations, silicon photonics are reaching the performance limit to reach the bandwidth and power requirements necessary in the modern era. Today's announcement demonstrates that a hybrid approach, leveraging the cost and integration benefits of silicon photonics along with the unparalleled bandwidth and low power advantages of Lightwave Logic's proprietary EO polymers, lays a clear path for competitive performance and integration for today's and future optical pluggable transceivers.
Dr. Michael Lebby commented: "Our newly presented results are incredibly exciting, representing not only the best commercial-grade-compatible polymer modulators to-date, but on commercial 200mm silicon wafers, with performances that fit very well for a 4-channel x 200Gbps (or 800Gbps) pluggable transceiver, as well as the next generation 4-channel x 400Gbps (or 1600Gbps) pluggable transceivers. 200G lanes with clean, open eye diagrams now represent an inflection-point to extend silicon photonics benefits by utilizing the company's polymers to enable much higher data-rate speeds at significantly lower power consumption levels. These results will position LWLG to support the burgeoning demand of generative AI as datacenters around the world begin to upgrade their hardware faster than expected to meet the demands of the future.
Just explain an S21 measurement. That is but a single thing.
Thanks, we look forward to your explanation.
Kinda like fuel mixtures, compression, displacement, pressure on a fuel injector, etc. Pretty basic, double one, it affects the other. If you can not explain that, I can not help you. Bang, she firing on all cylinders.

Before there was test equipment fast enough to measure Lightwaves polymer they could only model it. I'm pretty sure that they worked with keysight to provide super fast material so they could make the speedometer.

I don't think I need to define "operated" Nothing theoretical about that.
OK what surprised me was slide 19 and 21 (Demo) "Packaged slot modulator performance"

And yes you are the new Ted ID.
So Lightwave Logic Produces a Proprietary Polymer that Stretches the Performanve on Silicon Photonics. It triples the speed, uses a fraction of the power and as important is so small that it permits other micro level electronics to be inserted into the space that is now available and use the power freed up by the Lightwaves Polymer.
Today's Presentation is what the industry has been requesting. Lightwave has few folks on the ground at the conference to answer questions and arrange meetings.
So Lightwave just completed the lab expansion, and they did it with cash on-hand. No financing has enough cash on hand for another year of operations, they even hired office types to handle the additional workload.
For years the shorts said they couldn't produce it on a wafer in a foundry, Lebby just demonstrated it, they said they couldn't pole it in a foundry, Lebby just demonstrated it, they said it required crosslinking to make it stable, Lebby just proved that wrong, then they said that it could not be packaged, Lebby just answered that as well.
X
So Lightwave will not be required to build a multibillion dollar foundry that is business model that is incredible. The first wafer in the Foop costs X to set up the processes, just like software the 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. in the foup uses the same tools and processes so they are much cheaper. I'm pretty sure that 1 FOUP can hold 25 Wafers if they are all Lightwaves it will save time and money.
I'll be happy with Triple 4's for the day
Silicon is maxed out and everyone at the conference in their hearts and heads knows it.
Real Quick so there are 40k more buys than sells and the price is up 30 cents. Let me work the math on that.
20,0000,000 shares short/40,000 delta =500 x 30 Cents = $150 Buck per share.
Sy I'm off by a factor of 10 that $15.00 Plus $4.50, is about $20.
X
Nice try but you will not change the NVDAs of the world's request for Data and Demo. That is what he just told the industry.
X
Many are not confident in making their own decisions and rely on others to format that opinion. The play book for the shorts is the try for a while to sell into news so as to help the insecure form their opinion.
This is great news and goes against everything the shorts were trying to say LWLG could not do.
Interesting to watch human nature in action, I'd watch for button pushing to get folks off their game.
The world has a huge problem, LWLG has recently expanded to handle the ramp in the lab and on the business side and just announced why they did it. But it won't happen soon enough for some.
X I'd guess there will be private meeting all week at the conference. Private means just that.
