You should see the texts I'm getting about it, some Americans are cringing. But, if there was ever a crowd meant for Jim it's in Florida. It wasn't a place for Lebby.
Probably a good choice.
I heard Lightwave's pitch made Jeb think of his favorite song;
Yea, what is with that stupid double email? When it comes to IR, Lightwave can't find it with both hands.
Rambo might be the closest ihub member to Hollywood, FL. Maybe he can book a private one on one with Lebby. I heard there's a slot open at 1pm, after Dog the Bounty Hunter's money manager.
X, sounds like you would be ok with Lebby going door to door, like a Jehovas Witness...
Here is my qualm. We've been hearing for a long time how Lebby's time is too valuable to be out marketing/looking for alternatives to LPC...So if he's going to make an effort, I would prefer it to be in a worthwhile location. Noblecon highlights their best past guest speakers as Richard Petty and the guy from Pawn Stars. Noblecon looks kind of lowbrow and definitely lacking any focus whatsoever on a specific sector. We need smart money in this stock, we have very little of that.
One of my other large holdings, AVMXY, was doing Cowen & Co Health Care Conference presentations, BTIG, RBC Capital etc with no marketing team and a lower market cap than Lightwave! They also uplisted to NASDAQ with no help. I don't believe the excuse-makers. It's not that hard to do things right.
I'm a bit surprised Lebby is going there. I can't imagine what class of investor is found in Hollywood Florida, at a casino. But I guess when your stock trades like $#!+ they lump you in with the rest of the struggling micro caps.
What "dump"?
It was more about a Lightwave BOD member mentioning it and the company being weird about answering questions that created so much focus on it. Valid point though.
I do not wish to post why I think that.
Although, like almost everyone else here, I might be chasing my tail too.
It's worth less than that at the moment so can't be that hard...
Same.
They came out of the gate hard though with adoption thanks to a decade of trials giving doctors/locations experience with ReCell. Now they have to touch souls in places who've never used it and sometimes never even heard of it. Much more time-consuming. All things considered, it held up well. Avita can defy common sense sometimes. When the CEO was on Mad Money with Jim Cramer, the stock didn't budge the next day. Seems happy in this $8.50 range.
The list is growing. Chief Marketing Officer of IIVI will be there. I have been saying off the board to RLaRiv, PG, etc that I think they are a very likely partner/acquirer for LWLG.
I haven't owned a small cap stock with a CEO who was able to brush shoulders on the level that Lebby is. Really is astounding that we went from not even knowing about these events to having the company name up for a Keynote speech following Cisco/Intel etc in less than 3 years
When the LPC guys show up at SPIE to chat.
I bought either the first (or one of the first) phones with the AM-OLED display back in 2011. Bought OLED stock in 2014 and made some but sold long ago. Amazed and a little perturbed to see it trading at $176. We are always talking about Intel and IBM etc...but there are many many companies with significant market caps that could be suitors for us.
I'm looking over the list of attendees for Lebby's house party (below). It's going to be a Pot Luck but not many have opted to bring anything yet. Lebby is cooking a main course. Jim is bringing a case of Busch Light (in the Camouflage cans) The CEO of NKT Photonics in Denmark is bringing a bottle of Akvavit. The VP of Sales/Marketing from Focuslight in China is bring a case of Corona.

I agree. In 2019, year over year, we saw enough paper gains to afford water.
I still wonder about Terry's family.
I agree with the Rubiks Cube analogy. Fortunately for us, it was finally passed to the smartest guy at the company to solve. The share price suppression exists as a result of the deal Lightwave agreed to with LPC. No conspiracy. Just shareholders who don't understand or don't want to admit how Lincoln makes money, that other characters follow the Lincoln deals around to feed on crumbs and how the arraignment is a turn off for new investors, which further suppresses the stock.
TH, maybe you have done this. Best for all shareholders to leave set instructions for their family regarding what to do with your investments IF something ever were to happen, they really wouldn't know and might just default to a random advisor for guidance.
Agree but they are closer than the share price reflects
LOL, no, just throwing some cold water on the group think going on. He, and Karen too, are making some great connections while running the company... Lebby and his people can easily move on if needed or be lured away by companies (like MSFT) with bottomless pockets. I'm in agreement with photonicsguy's response to the SH letter. We are seeing progress but there many unanswered questions. My position is over 150,000 shares, that's a decent bet for me. Not time to open the champagne yet or even assume success is imminent. IMO.
Or Lebby taking a new job.
Fortunately, it sounds like there is still plenty of time to replace Jim Marcelli and LPC and reap the benefits.
Good question. Smith has some indirect connection to Tesla through a friend that was one of the earliest analysts to cover Tesla stock. Maybe they've play'd with samples of something in battery development. It's really strange that they would both be on the list.
One thing to keep in mind is that Lebby's overall risk tolerance seems somewhat low. For him to get involved initially meant he had a certain expectation of success, which is probably much more conservative than the average investors' tolerance. At this point, I don't believe Lebby has any expectation of failure, only curiosities about what sectors he will succeed in.
As someone who follows the car market closely, I think you are onto something here with the Lidar comment. Someone at Tesla very well may have screwed up disclosing some of the names on that list.
I agree 100%. For the longest time investors have been wanting to see "a deal" any deal, we don't care, just get us something. And the company was usually focused on that, trying to close a deal. (this is old Tom and Jim Lightwave). Lebby is thinking big picture, positing the company to possibly make numerous deals in different sectors, all around the same time.
Excellent update for investors.
Richard, to expand on this; Hard to believe that two people can read the same letter and come to such drastically different conclusions.
After following this company for several years, I am not surprised at all.
You have work experience which provides the insight needed to see further into the letter. Everyone here is grateful for that. Effectively communicating progress to shareholders has always been difficult for this company.
Lightwave should put that in the signature of their IR emails
Patent life if the restriction.
Amen. It is a huge turn off for new investors, among other things.
They need to finally validate the last 15+ years with some kind of agreement that generates revenue and profits. They also need to ditch the current toxic financing arrangement. Its a joke they still have to use this method and a huge red flag for new investors.
I prefer consistency. IE, if they're going to have disappointing communication techniques I want them to consistently disappoint me. I don't want sporadic quality thrown in like a candied pecan on an iceberg lettuce salad.
It was a typo, gates. I forgot the not. Would be nice to not have to wait longer than last year
2019's came on January 11th. Would be nice to have to wait longer than last year, considering the suspended quarterly updates.
It could easily be beat by a simple stock shelf, like was suggested to management about 7 years ago. No middle man scalping. No only raising at lows to keep LPC happy. It would let the company raise into runs for a change. Investors would know through disclosure that shares were sold (unlike our non transparent LPC sales).
Back when the stock hit $1.86 Lightwave let LPC exercise all their cheap placement options instead of having to buy high market price shares.
That is the opposite of a beneficial arraignment. Dude is absolutely right, most people just don't know enough to understand...
I know I've said $6-10 previously, and PhotonicsGuy has had similar guesstimates. Hard to say what will happen at this point.
Where's that end of year letter?
I would say that Lincoln Park has successfully been using Lightwave since 2011, not the other way around.
Prior to LPC, Lightwave raised capital through an institutional sales agent who in years prior (while working at DLJ, Credit Suisse, Cowen & Co., Société Générale, Lehman, etc) had raised the lions share of capital for numerous deals, including some important IPO's; Costco, Research in Motion, Dr. Mann's biotechs, the list is long. This person brought credible investors to Lightwave. This also brought investors who expected accountability from management and could not be placated. Lightwave was never able to meet the timelines they provided. These investors and their placement rep became a major headache for the company. I believe this experience led Lightwave to find financing with zero accountability. AKA Lincoln Park.
