Well it seems that our support at
.10 is strong like bull again, thats good.
Order placed, but strong accumulation
is making it hard to get any shares...
also good sign.
All these connections throughout
so many different fields shows
that SGLB can quickly go to a
worldwide use very quickly.
GE already looking at all aspects
of their business.
So many uses for SGLB!
September 13 of 2013?
Learned a bit about accumulation/distribution
patterns in a stock chart, im no technical
trader by any means.
But if you look at the accumulation/distribution
in SGLB since February of this year, it has
been at a steady incline as the price has
been decreasing.
This is a very strong bullish signal.
Buying pressure is huge in this pressure
cooker of SGLB even though the price
doesn't really reflect it.
Buying MORE!
Had one in at .10 late yesterday that didnt get
filled then either, cancelled it and waiting
for tmrw.
Im thinkin we will see some 9's pop up tmrw,
end of week, volume has been slowing up
lately.
That thompson paper with the chart of a normal weld vs an abnormal weld sure does look a lot like IPQA to me...
Sglb.
In my experience, conferences generally aren't used for PR releases by a company.
They might talk about their work with GE but releasing a PR during a conference generally doesn't happen.
Just in my experience thats what I've found.
Still excites for sglb though
Just an interesting note,
I was listening to a webcast by a company
who did a complete study on upcoming
"disruptive" technologies. Part of the
webcast referred to 3d printing specifically
in the commercial aerospace market. Through
the webcast, they made several references
to GE specifically and the fuel nozzles
for the LEAP engine.
They even went so far as to say that
quality is an issue while printing parts.
I was waiting to hear Sigma Labs come
up, but they never even hit on the
topic of quality assurance, only that
it was a developing technology.
SGLB is still ahead of their time and
its only a small number of people who
have done the research we have done to
find this diamond in the rough.
SGLB is years ahead of any competition
and is solving problems that the people
looking to start using AM processes for
mass production ie, GE, Honeywell, DARPA
Lockheed, Rolls Royce, Alcoa, are going
to need.
I believe SGLB will see tremendous
growth over the next 5 years, as people
start to understand the need, use, and
advances SGLB provides to the AM process.
Accumulating as if it were microsoft in 1986.
SGLB is the future.
The connection is Sigma Labs is the
only one who wasn't bought out yet :)
maybe someone just trying to get a little
tax write-off if they bought at a bad price.
heading into the end of the year its
not completly out of the question.
Ill pick up anything I can at this valuation
Couldnt get order filled at .95 or
.10. Will watch tmrw.
Slowly but surely SGLB will creep
into the AM field and make some
money.
We have the 'what' just waiting
for the 'when'.
I don't expect any immediate change
in PPS from the upcoming conference
but it looks like a good advertising
and education opportunuty.
I feel like we're not going to hear
much heading into the end of the
year unfortunately. Leaves us the
burden of buying cheap shares, or
accumlating a gold mine, however
you wanna look at it. :)
Stay thirsty my friends.
A company with no revenues is like a car with no gas.
Right now SGLB is a lambo sitting on the side
of the road, keys in the ignition, without a
drop of gas in the tank.
It looks pretty, but is completely useless
without fuel.
Materialise and AvioAero have been working
with Streamics for quite some time now.
Maybe its time we hear about how IPQA
can be incorporated into their software/
hardware to make one synergistic system.
We still have a lot of time left to
go, but the early bird gets the worm.
A r/s would never hold the PPS without
news of contracts or revenue.
That would only occur once the concept
is proven and we have some sort
of financial structure going forward.
As of now we are not ready for any
uplisting, with no financial backing
nor proof of a working business
strategy.
I was surprised to see today hold
as strongly as it did on nothing
but decent volume holding it
up right now, which most likely
wont last forever.
We are all just sitting around waiting
for a contract from anyone. But then
again being is this early will pay off
exponentially in 5 to 10 years.
It would just be nice to know what
kind of money SGLB can pull from these
contracts so this 70 million $ valuation
is solidified. We are making a decision
based on a lot of research that this
technology is extremely more valuable,
it would just be nice to know, "we were
right!"
But you're just guessing that GE is only willing
to pay 5%, you're also just guessing that GE
is only willing to pay 5% on 1300 even though
the fuel savings also effects the "price" of
each fuel nozzle.
You're just guessing and throwing numbers
out there which I find to be useless.
I'm not saying they are worth a huge
number, I'm not saying they're worthless.
But what I know for sure is that No one knows
until we sign that contract. So guessing based
on figures you made up is utterly redundant.
it's impossible to put a price on what SGLB will make
throughout the GE contract bc there is no definite
price or pricing model that we can go by.
So any number is just a complete guess.
But what we do have to remember is that GE
is just one customer for SGLB. Theres plenty
of other manufacturers who will want to get
in on this AM game, see the value, and follow
in GE's footsteps.
SGLB is hitting a huge industry and the parts
they are producing are top dollar critical parts.
Once contracts start rolling in from Honeywell,
DARPA, Materialise, the fuel nozzles will be old news.
I think today was mostly just a recovery
from the recent sell off. The "news"
didnt hit any outside investors so its
not like people are buying out of nowhere.
And volume was low. I think today was just
a nice pickup from recent downtrend.
Also OTC got haulted which could have just
made the buying seem more aggressive
as it was shortened by however long the
hault was.
Either way 'twas a nice thing to see.
Buying more at this valuation.
Nice rally today. Might have been a
little exagerated with that strange
OTC hault bc of their systems
going down.
Still have an order set for recent
support levels. Makes my account
look happy for today though!
If you don't realize that's only two out of a limitless number of customers you are gravely short sighted
OK, but show me a company who
has a product similar to IPQA
for EBM and i'll invest in them too.
ORNL has interesting tech obviously,
just like Los Alamos did.
But what they don't have is a
network of contract with companies
testing their software and creating
scalable products.
But if you know of one let me know.
Breaking through a 52 week low would
usually require a change in a companies
revenue for the worse or bad news.
SGLB has neither of these so I
would be surprised to see that
happen.
Just my opinion as you have yours.
Either way, Im buying more until
the cows come home.
Too much on the way for it to
break through the 52 week low.
We had 3-4x volume for 2 days
of people buying up .8. strong
support there.
It would take another huge sale
to break it.
That is referring to nickel based alloy,
so not even the TiAl that is required
for high temperature performance parts,
and also the size structures they are
talking about is about the same if not
bigger than SGLB tech. SGLB can go to
the mm2.
Might be great for EBM but
DMLS is much more precise and
leaves a better finish.
Oh and its a laboratory so they are
probably 5 years from a fully developed
system like SGLB has. No worries.
Bounced hard off 52 week low at .790
I find it very hard to imagine
especially as the market
picks back up from recent craziness,
that it will drop below that.
If it does we are in trouble and
will have to wait and see where
the bottom is which would be very
hard to watch. I might die.
But, as long as we hold .790
we are healthy as a horse.
We've been tapping the oversold
area which shows the cheap
shares are getting bought up quick.
SGLB needs to give us some news.
Maybe the GE ER will hint at
prduction.
Otherwise we will be playing with
the 52 week low for a few months
which isnt fun. Although buying
cheap shares feels good.
3rd quarter earnings report.
Who knows what detail they will go
into about future operations, if any.
Would be really cool to hear anything
about the production coming up
and would help their stock price
and interest which has been stagnant this year
Its in the S3, but if it's not posted
I guess we just lost an investor.
Or took a hit from the recent market
pullback.
No big deal, Ill keep buying at
this valuation all day.
anything near 50 million is a steal
for SGLB. They can quadruple that
in one contract.
No worries either way.
Good point.
They still have to pay for SGLB tech though
So its just another cost to incorporate
on top of the initial cost of the printers
themselves.
This operation is going to be a huge initial
investment for GE, but the projected payoff
could be exponential as they find
new uses and designs from their team
of engineers and everyone involved.
Seems like things aren't "taking off"
like they advertised it as.
Which makes an SGLB investment even more
shaky, which explains our recent PPS hit.
Im bullish on SGLB and the field in general
so I'm adding when I can, but good news
from GE or SGLB would be greatly appreciated.
I feel like SGLB and GE are at a stand-still
on the price of this technology.
Greg Morris stated the price point needs
to come down over time.
Is GE willing to pay up even though they've
done a lot of work and testing with SGLB?
I hope SGLB isnt being too stingy with
these sort of powerhouses, although they
cant afford to get trampled over either.
We've seen our valuation take a significant
hit over the past 6 months.
I guess we will have to see what these
first contracts look like, but with
this field just developing and SGLB
at the forefront with this needed technology
I still feel any valuation around 50 million
is a steal. GE is leading AM so they have
to show this is a postive cash flow
operation.
Once the concept is proven which hopefully
occurs within the next 4-6 months, SGLB
will be gold.
Honeywell and DARPA seem to constantly
talk about how this technology is NEEDED
for AM high performance parts. They
sound like they understand the value.
GE seems like they aren't so sure they
can pull a profit margin they were looking
for.
I hope they remember you gotta spend money
to make money. I hope SGLB and GE can be
friends for a long time.
Morris noted that "right now, inspection processes account for 25 percent of the total cost of parts produced additively." He said costs must decrease before the technology can gain wider acceptance.
http://spaceref.biz/organizations/aiaa/aiaa-propulsion-and-energy-conference-additive-manufacturing-progress-and-obstacles.html
Couldn't find that but came across this
gem from a few years ago, basically
predicting the time is now for IPQA,
additive manufacturing and global shift
in production.
Its reports like these that keep me
buying.
This tech is the future.
http://www.wilsoncenter.org/sites/default/files/Emerging_Global_Trends_in_Advanced_Manufacturing.pdf
pg. 40-41 very nice. whole paper is great.
GE stock also taking a blow
bc everyone knows this production
is going to be very expensive.
Everyone knowns it will pay off
in the long term, but right now,
it is taking up a lot of company
time and money.
If sglb just utilized some of the
S3 (we'll find out for sure or
not tmrw) it will definitely
signal they needed capital to
ramp up for production. Short
term pain and a discounted PPS
for those who understand where this
is going.
Shares for a few pennies will be
nonexistant during 2015.
GE is clear this technology is needed
for their AM production. This production
begins very soon and has order thru
2020. This is a clear revenue stream
for SGLB as the are the first to market
patented IPQA system that already
has a JTDA and mutiple mentions by
GE.
Greg Morris explained they are ahead
of the curve in AM manufacturing,
which means SGLB definitely is as well.
Once we sign a contract, the use and
need of SGLB tech will be solidified
and the interest in this technology
will skyrocket.
Everyone needs SGLB, they just dont
know it yet :)
This is a good position for us,
and they first revenue streams should
occur soon.
Long, Accumulating.
I dont think it will break the 52 week low
support. That seems a little too low
of a valuation with all the news heading
into GE production too close. Not to
mention release of deform 1q2015.
.790 and .80 look like a very strong
support.
If it does happen I will add like crazy
but for now I would expect .790 and
.8 to hold as we head into hopefully
some good news sooner rather than later.
Still a chance the recent drop was
part of the ATM so we'll see tmrw.
All IMO with high hopes on my initial
investment not seeing too much more
pain.
ATM offering correction
If it was part of the ATM it will
be announced tmrw, I thought it was 2 days
but I checked the S3 and they have
3 days before announcing
So if it was started on monday,
when the PPS drop occurred,
we should hear about it tmrw.
If its just the market were in,
which is very possible,
we won't hear a thing.
sorry for the misinformation before,
honest mistake.
I don't think SGLB would sell any portion
out since they don't and won't need to.
GE would have to pay an outrageous valuation
to get a piece of this thing at this point
and besides the missing revenue which
is expected very soon, SGLB is going to
see their market cap fly with a couple
signatures on the dotted lines.
SGLB has been able to fund their own operations
thus far with very little revenue.
Put one decent contract in their from
any of the multi billion dollar operations
they are talking to, and funding will
never be an issue again.
GE has already put a lot of time and
money into SGLB. Most likely SGLB
will give them a significant discount
on the technology, but I don't think
GE wants to put any more money or time
into funding something they are going
to be paying for anyways.
GE and SGLB JTDA probably supports GE's
interests as well as SGLB's. SGLB
most likely has to meet GE's timeline
so worrying about competition isnt an
issue. Same with DARPA and honeywell.
SGLB knows what they have is worth a
huge amount of money.
GE and Honeywell could never explain
to their investors why they bought a
company or portion of a company with
zero revenue and a barely tested
product. Proof of concept hasnt been
tested yet. We are before the learning
curve.
Stocker ;
If you think GE is going to start
giving startup companies loans
you are absolutely insane.
That doesnt happen in business.
GE isnt going to risk their money
on a company that has 3 employees
and barely any cash.
Thats why they are on the stock market
so they can raise cash from us
without having to sell a portion of
the business. Sucks for us, good for them.
SGLB doesn't want to sell any portion
of their business at a price
GE is OK with otherwise it already
would have been done.
Stockmama ; Im not sure the offical
type of form but it would be filed
through the SEC and therefore
be PR'd by the company or an outside
source.
Chef ; I think this because we saw
the price stayed at 8 for the past two
days with large volume and then a
spike at the end of today when the
offering would have closed.
I believe the time allowed is 2 days
after the beginning of an offering
before a company is required to
report it, so wednesday would be when
we would see a PR regarding an offering.
Wont be official until tmrw
but it looks like they just did....
4.3 million isnt enough to fund the
contract with GE alone. Any company
has to have the capibilities to pay
everyone who's putting this tech
together ie. metronic and adurant
for their peice of this puzzle
SGLB has to be paid up before they
get paid. GE isnt going to fund
the entire operation.
Short term pain for long term gain.
This is necessary with almost every
company especially when they are
a start-up.
If you realize the potential growth
of this company over the next 5
years, this raising of funds is
a drop in the bucket. We will
have to wait it out and buy more
shares at this discount, but once
we sign those contracts, expected
within the next 6 months, we won't
even care that this happened.
Still holding onto hope this was part of the
ATM offering by SGLB. Between yesterday and
today it would be approximately 8million shares
as of 1 pm on 10/14/14 which would be
a measly 800k or so to SGLB, but if they
were strapped for cash heading into production
with GE this may have been just terrible timing
with the market, but may have been necessary.
If the offering hasn't been executed yet, we are
just feeing this Ebola market BS in which case
it still brings a good opportunity to pick up
cheap shares.
Im hoping for the former, but either way I have
some funds clearing and am still certain
SGLB's first to market IPQA technology will
earn big money very soon.
Buying, Holding
Viveks on the board, he's just not a director
being on the board and being a director are
two different things.
which is why all those people on that list
are on the board, but not directors.
He wasn't on the board last year either
