You shouldn’t have put him in solitary so quickly. I had him identified as a future minion of yours from day one. Between his Facebook posts and psycho rants here, it was easy to identify him as a future crybaby.
Remember the old Bill Cosby routine about the woman flying with “little Jeffrey”? Here he is, all growed up!
Bam… and here come the children to whine and cry. Just as I predicted.
Nirmal Kumar is consulting with far more than just BamBam production. Take a close look at his work and see if he’ll be useful in protein synthesis, something I didn’t expect would begin this early.
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267974556_The_silk_proteins_sericin_and_fibroin_in_silkworm_Bombyx_mori_Linn_-_A_review
“Recently, silkworm is being used as biofactory for the production of useful protein using the silk gland, which has promoted the technological development in sericulture. With the above background silkworm can be classified as a value added biomaterial for medical application, application of silk protein fibroin and sericin as a biomaterial and other seri-byproducts. The present paper overviews some important studies carried out on sericin and fibroin of silkworm, Bombyx mori Linn.”
Here's a fun fact... out of those 132 followers you're so proud of, why is it only you and Web who like your posts? no one else ever does. you'd think some would click it by accident sometimes. but no. it's just you and web. I remember the old days people used to ask your opinion. Now no one cares.
"Quit while you're behind"? Really? Who's behind?
EOT has far fewer followers but his posts actually have many upvotes. And he doesn't even give 2 likes to his own posts like you do.
I think you should create a bunch of screen names and start giving your posts a thumbs up more frequently. Then you won't seem like such a joke.
"This is obviously a really big time for Kraig Labs commercial Spider Silk!!!"
That sure seems evident to those of us who've been watching closely for years and years. When the broader market will take notice and how Kim chooses to let them know are the big question marks.
We already know with 100% certainty that there are 800lb gorillas out there waiting for this. Even if Jon had never mentioned having biweekly calls with a company "hanging in his closet" we can be certain they are waiting. Obviously North Face, Adidas, Nike are waiting on spider silk because they've said so. And Jeff Dorton may have a few Under Armour executives on his speed dial yet.
The big news I'm waiting for is when that "credible production timeline" is established for the big name to announce a collaboration. Kings launch will be nice, but they won't likely be the partner that wakes up Wall Street. We'll see. Be nice to be wrong about that.
"It seems as though there’s too much emphasis on our weekly PRs to investors as it
shows by the volume on expected pr days"
I'd prefer if PR days were unpredictable. It becomes bait for traders otherwise. Although, that can be good for longs as well if they are trying to chip away at their cost basis.
I'm expecting news this week but I won't flinch if it isn't THE news. It could be, but it could also not. Kim is building a narrative so that when THE news drops, there won't be loads of unanswered questions for the bears to feed on. Whatever sentiment is reflected in the share price at the close today won't affect my opinion in the slightest. I couldn't care less about the whims of the traders.
“Sure hope Kim has something good tomorrow to announce or we’re dead”
Why? The traders have gone elsewhere for the most part. If it’s perceived as another stepping stone, then only the usual children will panic.
“In the water as per the anemic volume shows .”
The anemic volume shows longs are holding and traders are ignoring and that KBLB is still a very obscure stock.
“The pps is all based on Kim’s PRs
as the last one amounted to nothing in the investors eyes.”
It always been news driven. Last PR was another piece to the puzzle. It only means nothing to those not watching closely.
It’s also a special day!
It will be more than twenty times. Especially after proving production. The big money won’t ignore KBLB forever.
They haven’t caught their attention yet but they will.
Look at the pissed off Bolt threads financiers…. They want their money back and they are going to notice KBLB very soon.
Bolt raises 347 million to make spider silk. They fail. They’ve had multiple rounds of financing. Still no spider silk. They ask for more money and they get a door slammed in their face.
So they go to the retail market. TO RAISE A MEASLY 35 million. That’s it. Wait… people gave them 347 million, they want 10% more and they get told to F off?
So…347 million, they lose it all, decide to beg the retail market for 35 million… and they get a valuation of 250 million? Really?
So… as Kim said… you do the math. These 347 million dollar investors want their money back and they will find out soon that tiny Kraig labs just did what they paid Bolt to fail at. They will call Kim and they’ll gladly get their money back on a company that actually produces once they see the results.
And that’s just Bolt’s disgruntled investors. Others will come to the realization that their $35,000 (by their own admission) per kilogram silk doesn’t stand a chance against Kraig’s $300 per kilogram silk.
“Luckily, I was able to expose his devious plan and save shareholders.”
At the shareholder meeting, just when we were about to give Kim all our money, some guy jumped out of a green van and pulled Kim’s mask off… only to reveal that it was really Old Man Smithers all along!!! Jinkies! That was you? How can we thank you? And we didn’t even give you a scooby snack!!!
lol
The following quote is old. Just think about Spiber’s 400 million and Bolt’s 300 million when you read it.
“Smart venture capital money continues to pour into spider silk technology with an additional $106 million being invested in 2017.
According to MaRS Discovery District 5 “Most early-stage investors look for 10 to 20 times the return on their investment (later-stage investors tend to look for 3 to 5 times the return) within two to five years.”
Let’s apply this simple rule of expected returns to one of Kraig Labs’ competitors, now on their 4th round of capital raising and approaching $196 million in total. $7.7 million in early-stage investment targeting a 15x return. Then an additional $188.3 million in three later-stage investments targeting a 4x return. If we assume this venture capital money has claimed an aggressive 80% of company equity, then they are valuing this single player in the spider silk market at more than $1 billion dollars.
With so much smart money looking to claim a piece of the exciting market for spider silk, what potential does the future hold for Kraig Labs and our easy to produce, low cost, best in class spider silk super fibers? You do the math. “

I agree. I was surprised about how forthcoming Kim was.
In hindsight, it all makes sense now. A few things he said didn’t make sense at the time, but certainly did when we saw the PR about going to VN. (Especially having it a week early) I’m impressed there was no hint of the upcoming trip.
Oooooh it’s Dr Fraser’s understudies being disparaged. NOT the weasel’s. Got it.
I wonder if he knew Fraser retired.
Wow, I’m sure glad his people went with Kim. They’ve got to be better lab help than that bible school grad they refer to as “the gum stuck to their shoe”.
I heard he moved on an is a pastor at the Church of What’s Happenin’ Now.
Holy crap they HAD to be thrilled to get rid of him.
That weasel from Wyoming? You talking about the weasel who worked on this project, went behind backs and torpedoed funding forcing Kim to the retail market? That one?
The same weasel who got punted from Wyoming, then tried to make spider silk using the very process that Kim is using? The process that he said would never work?
This same guy who took money from the Chinese to advise them on how to make spider silk from silkworms?
The one who is at Utah now attempting to use silkworms?
The same spider goat guy whose investors lost hundreds of millions of dollars on the nexia/biosteel debacle?
The same guy who needed Malcolm Fraser and the Notre Dame transgenics experts to actually do what he couldn’t?
Is this the guy you think Kim needs?
Okay. lol
LMAO

What made you predict .20 for today?
The evidence has been laid out by multiple posters with links and quotes from PRs.
Want2Retire’s posts may be the easiest to follow since he’s in solitary right now and there won’t be as many posts to sift through.
Read his last several posts and you’ll find it. He’s done a lot of work trying to get the blind to see.
I did. Kim will have something to tell us about his agreements he’s finalizing this week in Vietnam.
“… finalizing agreements with private and governmental entities.”
And there’s a legal difference between a patent application and a patent pending.
This is silly. Who doesn’t know about these patents pending at the USPTO?
Is this not true? They haven’t filed for these?
You’re flirting with libel. Be careful.
https://www.kraiglabs.com/uspto-publishes-two-key-kraig-biocraft-laboratories-patent-applications/
Here’s a refresher on those patents:
“…the first of the two patents allows for the creation of silks that incorporate multiple sets of mechanical and chemical properties that cannot be created by conventional gene editing means.”
“The second patent moves developments in gene editing beyond the traditional heavy chain fibroin component of silk. This new research and development avenue opens the doors for the co-production of complementary proteins. This evolution in research delivers on the company’s vision for its transgenic silkworms as host platforms for tailored cosmetic and pharmacological proteins.”

Yes. I was saying those who produce spider silk soup and then spin a man made fiber are limited. Not Kraig Labs
For example. The military wants natural fibers only for uniforms and underwear. Surgeons have complained that during surgery, soldiers who’ve been burned have synthetic fibers melted into their organs. Natural fibers won’t do that. A win for Kraig Labs.
Also, in the science journal we both posted in the last few days, researchers said that natural spider silk is what they need for testing scaffolds. Synthetic fibers are not hypoallergenic. Another win for Kraig Labs
Yes, KBLB will be making serious bank from synthesizing proteins with the methods they spelled out in their patent applications. And yet another win.
I’m anxious for what’s going to be revealed next week.
“Who knows if it’s still valid”
Everyone but you knows evidently. As confirmed by Walter Wee this year.
You were probably still trying to figure out your cost basis when that nonsense was put to bed.
Now don’t forget that you gave up posting during hot flashes for lent.
No. They brew silk proteins but must spin a fiber that is not natural. This limits fiber applications. And is another part of the equation that sends their production costs through the roof.
This is why they’ve given up and focus on non natural fibers
This is what makes the 25kg batch so unique. All natural ingredients! Something ONLY KRAIG LABS HAS DONE!
It’s not a protein based silk. They spin the synthetic fiber.
What in the ever loving eff is wrong with you? How the eff do you not know what is going on?
You spend too much time writing and not enough reading.
Everyone already knows that’s when BAM1 will be ready. Kim has said that all along.
Thats what he will get to metric tonnage with in the second half of this year.
First few quarters is the old stuff. Small batches. Limited production. Targeting only luxury clothing. (With that cotton blend you probably don’t know about.)
When BamBam is ready, they crank up the volume, discontinue old DS, and produce tons.
How is this so difficult for you to comprehend?
“ Both BOLT and Spiber have created far more than 25 kilos of their silks.”
No. They’ve made spider silk proteins but can’t make the silk. By their own admission even. What is so hard to understand here?
My advice, sell all your KBLB stock and put it all on the Bolt IPO. But first ask why their friends who gave them 300 million refuse to give them any more.

KRAIG LABS SENIOR TEAM HEADS TO VIETNAM FOR SPRING TRIALS LAUNCH
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., is set to embark on a pivotal journey as senior management gears up for a significant venture in Vietnam this week. The primary objective is to oversee the commencement of spring production trials, marking a crucial milestone in the company's pursuit of commercializing recombinant spider silk.
The spotlight rests on the launch of the BAM-1 production trial, representing a pivotal step towards large-scale production. With meticulous scrutiny, management aims to glean insights that could shape the blueprint for future production endeavors.
Beyond supervising the trials, senior management aims to cultivate avenues for further expansion. This includes scouting potential production partners and solidifying agreements with both private and governmental entities. Kim Thompson, the Founder and CEO, underscores the anticipation surrounding the impending trials and emphasizes the significance of forging alliances to fuel Kraig Labs' growth.
The imminent trip signifies more than just an operational endeavor; it embodies a strategic move towards realizing Kraig Biocraft Laboratories' ambitious vision. As the team prepares to immerse in the Vietnamese landscape, anticipation brims for the invaluable data that will emerge from the field, propelling the company closer to its commercial aspirations.
“Unfortunately I’m also mired in a world of make believe. A world where KBLB has…Zero production…”
In your world of make believe KBLB has zero production?
In the real world they have just begun.
I usually don’t bother commenting on your posts because you’re just one of the toadies. And, it’s a very rare occasion that you try to post anything original. I do give you credit though for trying to post off script.
But, you shouldn’t do that. You should just keep parroting Web’s thoughts. When you try to do improv you always wind up sounding foolish. Leave the improv to Web. He would never have slipped up like that. You may lose your minion job.
Let us know when you wake up. And get a big boy haircut after you do.
You must have missed the photo of the first production batch! I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but Kim is standing there holding a 25kg batch of recombinant spider silk that was processed into finished reeled raw silk! Great news right?!
And better news…NO OTHER COMPANIES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT!!!! Not ONE!!! And some have over 100 times the funding!!
(One has even lost their funding and is trying to bilk new investors in the retail market)
“DURING the ramp-up phase, while production quantities are relatively limited, the Company is targeting end-product applications in fashion and performance apparel. “Because production quantities will be relatively limited DURING the early stages of the production ramp-up,…”
Wow! Can’t wait to see how much they PRODUCE DURING THE RAMP UP phase. I wonder when that is?
“Kraig Labs is CURRENTLY in the process of ramping up production trials of its recombinant spider silk under the trademark Dragon SilkTM”
Whaaaaat? Mind blown! That’s evidently been going on since at least January 22nd?
Now how did Dimes miss that?!!! He’s usually so spot on when not reading things!!!
I don’t care if Kim Jong Un is the buyer. I’ll take $5-$10 bucks a share right now from anyone willing to pay it. And I’ll skip all the way to retirement.
I’m here only for the money. I have no higher motive here than that. It’s in the screen name… I want money for doing nothing.
Politics can be discussed elsewhere. Here the dollar is the common theme.
Political discussion forums are the only forums that are deeper in the gutter than this one.
You’re right! Fraser says it’s chimeric. Looks like it’s a blend of silkworm and spider!
chimera, in genetics, an organism or tissue that contains at least two different sets of DNA, most often originating from the fusion of as many different zygotes (fertilized eggs). The term is derived from the Chimera of Greek mythology, a fire-breathing monster that was part lion, part goat, and part dragon.
Malcolm Fraser, the transgenics expert from the University of Notre Dame, said he encoded chimeric silkworm/spider proteins using piggybac vectors. The resulting fibers were tougher than silkworm silk fibres and as tough as native dragline spider silk fibres.
And that was clear back over a decade ago. Now the results exceed native dragline silk. And they’ve just produced a 25kg batch of recombinant spider silk and had it processed into finished reeled raw silk! They’re doing limited production of that right now, and have just announced they have an even better silk just beginning trials!!!
They don’t even have a fiber. They have to spin a synthetic and they STILL can’t do it.
All they’ve got is mucous with a dash of spider DNA. No wonder that wasn’t good for their shareholders and they want out!
I don’t know if you knew this, but did you hear that Bolt Threads pissed away 300 million in private equity in pursuit of the holy grail of fibers?
So… they did THAT! Then, their financiers cut them off from any further money! BAM! They asked for more and their sugar daddies won’t cave in!!! They just cut them off!
NOW, Bolt is actually going to the retail market to try for more money as if no one will notice they FAILED miserably! Can’t imagine anyone falling for that BS!
Agreed. Something big is up. Can’t imagine he needs to be there to hold the hands of the Indian experts, they were just in the USA.
At a minimum, whatever agreement is being finalized with private and government entities ought to reveal quite a lot about the expansion plans.
The successful small production batches that Kim announced months ago (to everyone but dimes) likely convinced more locals to sign deals.
They don’t want to wait til after BamBam trials to ride KBL’s coattails for fear of not being able to grab a piece of this emerging market.
“I guess I have been slacking and I need to post more.”
I agree. We know you’re watching this stock so that you can protect all of us from Kim. It’s really only out of pure kindness that you post hour after hour, day after day, year after year.
I kind of choke up thinking about your selfless service to shareholders of a stock you don’t own. The charitable gift of your time for no reason whatsoever other than to be kind to people makes me think of St Francis.
I’ve posted it. To you. So has mojo. Probably others.
Holy crap do your own homework for once.
