... reflecting the real value of the company. That's the bitter-sweet irony here, imho.
I'm comfortable where I am, share wise. I do plan to trade them, though, however.
Indy, given the stratospheric mention in your post, have you ever seen this video from a number of years ago:
I'm not....
But if any one is interested, I have no problem telling them about the company.
Here's one of my more favored blurbs on Hanna... from days gone bye: http://pursuitist.com/dreaming-of-luxury-sales-amid-recession/
I always mention to the sales reps at the retailers the affordable investment potential if they like the product(s) and encourage them to look into the company. They might become impressed and mention to others.
A Jessica endorsement... now that would give those boots some extra traction. Go Lyric & GLTALs.
As far a Disney and Stewart goes ... Imitation, the sincerest form of flattery.
My point is that in discussing WSGI's place in the industry, we don't have to become polarized or add partisanship issues to the mix. THe common goal for us all is WSGI's success. I admire and appreciate the input from the vast majority of posters here, regardless of their political convictions. GLTALs.
Understood, hogman. The bottom line though, imho, is that the Pandora's Box of Privacy has been open for quite some time and will always be controversial. It didn't begin with the Ob administration, and it most certainly is not going to end there. Government will always seek new ways to look upon the masses and that will proceed, with or without WSGI's participation. Some company will most certainly fill that niche. WSGI is a player in the ISR and hopefully telecom arena; like it or not ISR's nature is invasive and nothing is going to change that. All imho. Respectfully ....
With all due respect, to all posting here, the drone discussions are relevant as far as potential domestic uses for WSGI's products, imho; but could we leave to political posturing out, just because we do not All have the same outlook politically. It's funny how many perspectives have changed in a few years. I remember when John Ashcroft (former U.S. Attorney General) crossed many lines in affixing the terrorist title to many, so they could be apprehended and interrogated. The same constitutional arguments surfaced then, and his actions were more blatant and of course endorsed by Bush-2. Be that as it may, we're all in this together, hoping for WSGI's ultimate success; spy measures and all. GLTALs.
A rhetorical question: Given the overlap concerns, why can't the Sec. of Def. and/or the Chrmn, Joint Chiefs of Staff demand collaboration from the respective military branches. Sure, there won't be a one size fits all development, but there might be a means for design customizations/modifications to satisfy the needs of a given branch. Hence, a BIB customized for land forces (Army/Marines) and one for the sea (Coast Guard/Navy); and a civilian seafaring model for commercial/maritime use. Of course it's probably not that simple, given my non-military perspective.
Given LC's continued expansion into new markets, what brought you to the conclusion that
Big... definitely applies. Consider the scope of LC's merchandising realm. I stopped at Claires and all of their LC goods were gone. The staff person remembered having them but was unaware of replenishment in inventory. And mind you, we're talking Maine. This is BIG!
I visited the local PetSmart in Bangor, Maine today to see if the distribution had made it this far north/east. After perusing empty racks in the pet accessories section, I was becoming disappointed. It just so happened that a staff member appeared with a cart of boxes to re-stock the empty racks while I was there. I asked him about LC's merchandise and he went into the boxes to show me the full selection, as they had just arrived. I also stopped at Kay Jeweler and Delia's. Each had LC merchandise and I was told by a Delia's staffer that the merchandise can also be found at Wally's. Given the small market in Bangor, ME I'd dare surmise that Lyric Culture is probably doing alright, imho. I did purchase a Yellow Submarine tee for my daughter's pooch. Go Lyric and GLTALs!
Thanks, Baghdad Bob. I was speaking figuratively, about grasping the demands.... The insight that I've gained, however, from the exchanges made on this board has indeed provided a better understanding for me (and others here I'm sure) the nature and principles of the UAV arena; and thanks for your input(s) as well, over the years.
Learning, indeed! I entered on a speculative play (still is), impressed by the stratellite concept, not grasping the demands required for such an endeavor. The dialogue / shared DD, here on ihub, has provided a picture and understanding of WSGI's venture that would have remained an abstract concept for me otherwise. Thanks, All, for the learning.
FWIW, Central Am. is a part of North Am., and includes Greenland.
We're speaking continents, not regions; my bold.

Sheesh! Maybe some big positive development is in the making for LYJN. It would be nice! Of the last 44 posts, only 5 of them are visible on my screen. The negativity is running rampant here, but my confidence in the company is unshakened. GO LYJN!!! GLTALs.
Hanna continues to add depth and stature to LC. Here's wishing her the best, along with a healthy child.
Go Lyric!!! ... and GLTALs.
Wouldn't it be nice if Boeing started making inquiries with GAIA about providing batteries to replace their present choice....
Would LTHU/GAIA be capable of filling the order? Better yet, can any one answer... is LTHU still breathing? Oh, so much promise from days gone bye. And there I was thinking that this stock was going to be a winner. For a while it was, and then something went terribly wrong, that I missed, and I still don't know what caused the drop with the sp. There I was, sitting on a ten-bagger with LTHU and now down 87.9% from my original investment. I want to continue to believe in LTHU's potential place in the world of lithium technology, but since there's no correspondence/info whatsoever coming from the company, I'm fearing the worst. I'm so confused.... Any other thoughts out there?
Fwiw,I hope the RS vote fails. I entered this play in Dec. '03 @ .33 per share, which is where it peaked and never returned. Averaging down has proven a futile exercise, especially when the price fell into the single digits. The company has always seemed to be in a position to move forward and add value for the shareholders. But the manipulation (my opinion) through the years kept a strangle-hold on the stock price(s) to keep it in the basement. Production from the mines have been profitable for years, but the stock price has never reflected it during my stay here. Those of you who bought at these low prices / single digits, I take my hat off to you for your timing. At this point, I suspect I'll never receive a positive ROI with CALVF, but gl to the rest of you. I DARE fate to make me eat my words. Should that happen, many of you will be the envy of many, many investors.
Q-reus
It looks like the General's Spiral Development approach is bearing fruit. Too bad this was not the initial approach, instead of attempting to start in the stratosphere. What has IndyJonesOhio been emphasizing...? Tactical! Thank you IJO for the picture that you have painted, particularly for those of us who are UAV detail challenged; and the discussions you've brought to the board. I don't mean to neglect the other contributors who have added to the wholesomeness of the discussions along with the DD you all (Nil, WW, Sami, Rattlewatch, Renaissance, BareBaxBo, WarpCore61, Pagan... etal [you know who you are]) have made available to those of us observing, who don't have insight and useful information to offer other than cheer-leading. GLTALs.
Thanks, Stock Dragon. Were they actual Pink Sheets delistings, or were they companies that were run by some individuals with questionable integrity? Somey that I have dealt with just simply stoppped trading, but no delistings that I was aware of. Thanks again and glty.
Stock Dragon, with all due respect, other than the AMEX, NASDAQ or NYSE, are you actually aware of any pink sheet shells that have been delisted for non-reporting or other reason/s (excluding fraud) that you might share with the board? Tia.
I would say that Lyric Culture is ready for launch. I can visualize steam rising from the rocket(s); and ready for ignition. The firing code for ignition is embedded in the financials though, imho. It will come. GLTALs.
Best regards to you Dontnosheet with your other endeavors... hate to see you move on. I understand your reasoning.
Fwiw, here is the LinkenIn mention of Robert Wendt's association as a Director for Solexant, provided you can access the site.

... and fwiw, I did not see any LC merchandise listed amongst the clearance items.
I'm still in the dark on back-testing; in terms of determining dilution.
Greetings Nik'. With all due respect, please elaborate on back-testing. The exercise could benefit many here. Thanks in advance.
If there is ever a buy-out or merger, the first company that I suspect to be at the top of the list would be Solexant, all imho, unless XSNX buys them ( http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/Thin-FIlm-Solar-Startup-Solexant-and-its-New-CEO ); an article from 2011. Visit the site and compare the similar missions between XSNX and Solexant. Solextant is private in comparison to XSUNX, and both companies had previously announced plans to set up production facilities near Portland, OR; unsuccessfully. This is all conjecture on my part. I searched but was unable to tie the two companies together, outside of Mr. Robert Wendt. The companies' areas of expertise seems parallel to me. Granted CIGSolar is XSNX's registered tm, however, Solextant works with CIGS too. Mr. Robert Wendt is the Senior Scientific Advisor for XSNX and a director with Solexant. Robert Wendt is mentioned in the newsletter that was issued this morning, as follows:
XsunX Business and Technology Update
Irvine, CA - December 27, 2012
Good Morning and Happy Holidays,
Thank you to all of our shareholders for your support this year. With the year quickly coming to a close, and a week shortened with holidays, we still wanted to send out a short update and thank our shareholders.
In 2012, we have accomplished significant progress towards achievement of our business development efforts and we are much closer to realizing our goals to commercialize our CIGSolar® technology. With the completion of the assembly of our system and the current work towards preparing the tool for customer demonstrations, we are on the verge of providing the solar industry with alternatives to traditional silicon dominance.
Through this holiday season, we have not been idle and with Christmas behind us this week, we headed back into the shop to continue calibration and process development of our CIGSolar® evaporation system. This week Robert Wendt has joined us on-site providing his many years of CIGS development and processing experience contributing to the calibration of the system.
With any new system, there are always ways to improve and streamline to make operation easier and processing more accurate. Over the last few weeks, we have designed and implemented upgrades to the system to enhance transfer of substrates between chambers and we have added a second cooling system to add back-up capabilities in case one system fails in the future. These, and other future upgrades we may devise, are part of our technology-licensing plan to continually improve the CIGSolar® process and systems and pass those improvements to our customers.
Thanks for your time, have a great holiday week, a very prosperous New Year, and we look forward to sharing business developments in the near future.
The XsunX Team

I'm still waiting to be directed to where your misinformation can be found in the iBox; as referenced in another post.
I assume that you're perhaps referencing the lawsuit settlement (and that's not shown in the iBox, unless I'm mistaking); in shares? Yes/No? Your way of making your point seems like an unwarranted bash of the company and if not, please pardon my shouting. You earlier proclaimed to have made positive gains trading LYJN, and I respect that. I just can't understand the unbroken negativity and barrage of untruths and half-truths directed towards the company, afterwards; just because it's not operating to your specific liking, imho. That is where I would decide to move on and spend my personal time more positively. The bottom line is, we don't know who's guiding Hanna with the finances of the company, but think about this: the promos that she has launched this year were all 1st class and weren't done without some prominent backing from somewhere, or company resources. Wouldn't you like to know?! I know I would, but it doesn't bother me that I don't. I like what I see with the building of the company and its continued forward progression. Yes! GO LYRIC... and GLTALs!
You know what, I'll be here with you too, Lyric_Rocks. At this point, regardless of the money-making returns <+ or ->, I'm in it totally because I believe in the concept of LYJN, Lyric Jeans, Inc., and Lyric Culture; and if it was to fail, I have no regrets. The launch and building of the company has been progressive since day one, and there's no one on this board that can dispute that. Many companies with creative/workable ideas that were destined to make $M & $B failed, never recouped after the seed money was gone. Here we are 6 years later (for me), making it through one of this country's most devastating economic recessions where many more-renown companies reached their demise. LYJN is still kicking, with yet a more positive outlook for the future of the company. Say what you will (not you L_C) about Hanna and how she's running her ship. I say she deserves the highest of accolades for her creation of Lyric Culture and building of the company. As far as the financials go, the extennnnddded delay has created many, many, negative perceptions of the company. But lets look at the reality of the matter: Hanna is still rolling amongst titans of the industry and they have not once given negative comments about her. Correct me if I'm wrong. I did receive notice of creative incompatibility once between Hanna and a former director. But that had no negative impact on the company. I'm loving it. Merry Christmas, LC and All; and sorry for the long post.
There are some who have ill feelings toward LC and simply wish for failure in its quest. Those ill feelings will be countered with a future announcement of its success by the company. And on that note, Merry Christmas to ALL; longs and naysayers, alike.
I agree wholeheartedly, about profits. To see SOLD-OUT tags affixed to certain merchandise and limited sizes availabl/unabailable on other merchandise is a good sign of profitability, imho. GLTALs.
MICKEY501
...or how much profit has been made? No one will know until that time, that the financials are released.
