I put in a buy order just for you.
X
Welcome aboard I'll put in a buy order now so let's see if it fills.
X. Why did choose this? I'm an old head so I like to keep up the investor base if possible. I proly know 100 investors here about half meet once a year, to brainstorm ask questions and do other investments, mostly private companies.
His money his choice, had he sold then and bought back twice as many shares he wouldn't have had anything to do when he woke up in the morning while he was out. Reminds me of the loop on "money" by pink floyd, over and over again.

Welcome aboard Tom Jr. and just in time for the conference. Show em what Delaware Cemical Dupont Boyz are made of. Hope to see you in May for a pint.
Awarded at $5.00. Nice
Xman
Let it play out, they can borrow for a while though, good luck, thanks. I'm as honest as the day is long.
Best to you, I have access to live short data. Let me look 243k shorted today, cost to borrow is only 3% or so.
X
Did some 2.72s today's, cool my me.
Folks this is 3 dimensional chess vs. Good ol fashion checkers.
X. You have to admit this is interesting. No hurry for me, let the best technology win. Time is on our side as AI is killing silicon Moores Law. Never fast enough though.
I don't think anyone bought based solely on your statement, No Worry. My order is still in place.
2k more buys than sells up 2 cents at I always say. 1k recovery equals 1 penny on the short recovery.
As info there are 10,600 of those 2k out of balance buy sells in 21,200,000 so at 2 cents that is $212.00 If I'm off by a factor on 10 that puts it at 21.20 plus 2.50 or $23.70.

Lol, too funny, punkln trying to flip the script. I could buy and sell you proly 10 times over and still not have any debt. If I sold at $15 I would have bought tried to buy back at $13 which would have pushed it back up. If one factors in the 21 Million short we are still at at least $20. It is hard for most to understand though.
Let me post the true story of Punkin so the Good folks know why he said that. Here you go.
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).

IMO, if the government gets involved, it is not a long bump. Good luck, though.
X
He owns 150 million of Coherent, sounds pretty knowledgeable to me.
X. This is a game changer, I have to pinch myself that we were so forward looking to get this technology and see the future. Life is what you make it, never fast enough for some, but honestly, they would know not what to do or how to invest the money for the future if they were right in 3 months so they just keep doubting themselves. I like the hunt, patience, study process and of course patents first. Which they have, foundries, yes we saw the bench models but now to see the big boys able to mass produce is cool as F. Dang baby first use nailed. Verticals, are next full disclosure Smitty did not know what a vertical was a few months ago now he's an expert, sorry to out him. For the life of me I just don't get it. It is almost like he thinks what we say on this board matters in a trillion dollar industry, sorry again for that.
Patience is a virtue.
X, I like Lebby, he has always been straight forward, if something was difficult he always said so. This is a trillion dollar industry that needs this.
Cool by me.
Place your bets and average in and above all take advantage of the discounted shares provided by the shorts. They need cheap shares, they buy then sell at the high point of the day, tis just a game ya know. Until it isn't.
I'm showing the shorts did nothing today, I'm showing 40% of free float is short? I didn't double check it though. Reverse splits do screw up the calculations for a few days.
X. I'm thinking $3 to $5 is a good entry point.
As info shorts sat on the sidelines today hence the 15 cent, I think it was a 5% rise in the price.
Folks it is not going to be easy for them to cover. I'll appear wrong until they start and that catalyst of a 1 million share buy in a day by them could have absolutely nothing to do with this. It could be forced by something in someone's portfolio.
X
As info shorts at 31 million they sold 500k into the market, yawn.
X
Lol, the market price is out of balance by 21 million shares that have been borrowed and sold, they need to be purchased back from a fairly small pool. I'll bet they forget to disclose that. "Perhaps the price would drop" it dropped because they sold 21 million shares that the owners did want to sell.
21 Million shares, dang nice place to be if you are long. Mine are in a lock box.
X
Some of the best things in life are long-term goals, to support them over time and see them come to fruition it is truly something bad ass rewarding. Make your bet, help it succeed. You reap what you sow, to see the foundries, personally hold a wafer, see the lab expansion and ready to rock and roll, to see many versions of perkinamine, increased staff, to see the who's who both in the chemical and optic space, to see polymers on the industry roadmap, to see silicon hitting the wall and needing help is yes very rewarding. The 21 million shorts try to paint an artificial story, and some buy in.
I remember just before the run to 20 bucks when I said here comes $4 then a move to the nasdaq, I was mocked for buying well below a buck It kind of feels that way now. One thing that I didn't see coming was AI and how that will force the adoption of this technology.
I'm going to enjoy watching the folks on the sidelines try and buy back in and trade elbows with the shorts. I would guess of my last 20 attempts at buying via limit orders below the prior days close only 4 filled times.
X, falling leaves, clean em up day. Let me stick in a couple low ball buy orders first.
Best to all.
Wow, sorry.
Thanks for those that take the time and expense to get info, weird, honest.
X. Best
Never seen so many trades under 100 shares, I guess that is because of the 1 for 50
X
The shorts returned 2.7k shares factor in the 1 for 50 that would have been 135k on friday. Anyhow that 2,700 shares returned is only 1% of the current outstanding 275 k shares shorted.
X need to remember the low float now. Im holding off I think 3 to 5 bucks ish?? 3 to 9 is a triple.
Oops, I'm not going to engage there so I won't even bother to read it. Looks like I'll put him on ignore, I like to remain positive.
That conservation over the weekend went something like this.
Ducky I'm not a good golfer because I can't drive and my putting sucks.
X perhaps golf isn't your game or you need an easier public type course.
Ducky I never said I needed advice I just wanted to vent, hopefully someone would say I wasn't that bad.
X, you can not make this up, risk tolerance in advestment portfolios most likely begins early on in life, and changes as we age because our timeline is shorter. If security isnt secured then adjustments must be made or it results in anxiety. For some reason folks think they can change a change in a trillion dollar industry by venting, weird. Due dilligence makes one more confident.
And this. So some try to pick a high and or a low and present the math as if it is logical that one could ever sell at the high and buy at the low without factoring in the supply and demand of the stock, nonsense hogwash. The fact is that there are 21 million extra shares that have been sold but do not exist because they are borrowed. The shorts can not just pick a price and magically cover at say $2.50, no the fact of the matter is that it will skyrocket if anyone trys to buy 21 million shares. And Should a deal get inked that consists of a dividend (remember only to the actual shares that exist). Of say $1 all the shorts have to do is write a check to the person that they borrowed those 21 million shares from and they can hang on. If the dividend is say 1 share in a public company they can buy shares in that company and provide them to whoever they borrowed their shares from. But if a private entity is formed for a licensing deal and new shares are dividended their is no public place that they could go to buy those shares to provide then to whoever they borrowed the shares from. So they would need to arrange to buy Lightwave shares with the dividend attached to give it back in a short period of time before that private share is detached and distributed to us. That would be interesting to watch. Especially if it happened multiple times in different verticals. In the event that they can not cover that dividend the broker is on the hook, will liquidate however much of their portfolio it takes to purchase those shares from you and I. We all have our price ya know.
I'm not sure everyone will understand but if say a Johnson and Johnson signs a deal to develop medical sensors under a new private company called Johnsons Light Sensors (JLS), Lightwave supplies the Perk for a fixed price J&J covers costs and operates the new venture the shorts need to figure out where how to get those private shares, there is no short market that they could borrow shares, fun fun.
X. Looks like Modulator development is complete, Next up is the vertical play, IMO that is what the latest additions to the board are for.
Multiple verticals in multiple deals equals a minefield for the shorts.
Like this. - I am amazed at what the examiner said, basically they said everything looks good, it covers a wide swath of devices, I dont see a problem but it would be easier for me if you broke down and submitted patents covering each device. Meanwhile, the Lightwave gang has covered the entire food group until the expiration date. I'm pretty sure it covers "polymers" hopefully all polymers.
Something we need to read and zoom in on.
It's all about the verticals. To date, Lightwave focused on a single distinct use to show the industry how it is done. Oh, did you guys see Perk6 on the label of the bottle on the website. I remember talking to employees on the lab tour that the modifications to the polymer and future variations are basically unlimited. And the boss was certainly excited to tell me.
Still say we get taken over.
X
The shorts are returning a tiny bit this morning.
X
I feel much better after what I've learned over the past few days.
All good in my book, the shorts pulled down 4k pre market to start the day, yawn.
Oh, showing 20.26m extra shares sold than actually exist. I'll continue to patiently buy discounted shares that the shorts provide.
X
Looks like a 1 for 50 on friday that would mean .2 Friday to $10 per share. KSCP it looks like about 1/2 the stats have been adjusted and 1/2 haven't. I just found this what is the problem, is it money, shorting, it looks like this should catch on. Shoot I'd like to buy one of these for my property, not sure how stable it is on uneven ground?
X. Going to look for a video, I just wanted to put down a marker.
This is a big deal.
Reduction of "forklift upgrades": Traditional solutions often require complete replacements (forklift upgrades) to accommodate future speed requirements. Lightwave Logic's technology, with its scalability to 3.2Tbps, can potentially avoid these disruptive and costly upgrades.
X
FI thought you said 10 years now its 2? As info the table is set (which it fact it is) the share price will rise. Yes, there are some that wait until the numbers are know like those that bought NVDA after the 10 for 1 forward split. Safer to do that, but returns are infinely smaller. Og course the shorts will borrow more shares to say "see I told ya" we understand that. They will be all good until a 2 - 3 day stretch of constant buying at which times we will see some nervous Nellie's for sure those will include short and sidelined longs.
I wonder when AXON will split, it has been a while before the last one there.

Xster Sunday Funday.
Dude, cool, cool.
So they covered the field, the reviewing patent attorney wants them to break it down into individual uses. I get it.
Lebby knows patents and how the process works, quick cover all engines/uses first, then we will break it down, meanwhile it has been submitted. Smart as smart can be.
Thanks.
Tell him I said hi. Funny, his wife understands this technology better than many that post here. I'm glad to hear he is still long, I understand why he can not personally comment. Hopefully, we'll see him in May.
X.
I had no idea the website had been updated. I'm still making my way through it but I just read this and found it interesting.
One well-known optical modulator device is the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The light output is changed by changing the relative phase between the two arms. One common trick to double the effect for the same available drive voltage is to drive the two arms in opposite directions (push-pull mode). Polymers have an interesting advantage over most other electro-optic materials which are crystalline. The direction of polymer’s electro-optic activity is entirely determined by the direction of the applied poling field. By poling the two arms of the Mach-Zehnder in opposite directions, the resulting device automatically has push-pull operation with a single applied signal.
I'd like to see a video of poling, I guess that sounds weird, I'm guessing the wafer is in the foup at the foundry, heated, then kept hot poled, voltage shut off, (cooled?) spun 180 degrees, poled voltage shut off, spun 180 degrees etc. Or I guess the could just flip the poling voltage???? Something to ask at the next SHM but it might be proprietary, in which case the answer will be, yes X, well something like that.
X
Um, um, 2017 was the year Lebby said that they would do an organic uplist over time no hurry so they would not force an artifical reverse split to make it happen.
Just Google '2017 organic uplist Lightwave logic'
Open up the presentation from the 1 year anniversary of uplist slide 4, see the note on the bottom?
Organic uplist as promised in 2017.
I take "neuronal" to help stay sharp.
X, sorry but just setting the record straight. So My wife pays no attention to LWLG, this morning while eating breakfast on the deck, I read her some random posts and she tried to guess if they held a long position or were working for the shorts. Funny when I said they are long, she said something like "what do they think they are accomplishing" I shrugged my shoulders and said it's a new world where folks post doubts and somehow feel better. Mysery loves company kinda thing. What a life that must be.
Then out of nowhere, she asked if I really only married her because her Unlce left her all that money. I told her no hun, that it didn't it matter to me who left her the money I would have still married her.
X
I can not speak to specifics. Perhaps some one else may opine, it is wide open complex field of devices.
X I see the shorts sold 1k shares after hours from pocket A to Pocket B, yawn. If not them then who would sell shares after the close they could have sold an hour earlier to me for 2% more? Physiological games that Vein will take to heart.
Makes sense profit margins are tight for power plants. I remember back in the day the power plants trying to claim coal was frozen in the car so they could pass that fake cost of the thaw shed onto the consumer as a weather event when in fact the coal shipped during a warm period state
And just arrived in below freezing temps. We pulled up and the thaw shed was shut off. Declined.
So I get it that if a data center says this is what we will use and does not perform they should not be allowed to put that additional cost (proly a carbon tax) back on the consumer but should go to the data center. Good news for Lightwaves technogy adoption.
Lol did you see that Canada is taxing carbon dioxide purposely introduced in green houses that is consumed by the tomatoes, so it does nothing other than make the tomatoes more expensive so they ship them from Mexico.
The bottom line is that regulations do not always achieve the desired result.
Lightwaves tech makes good business sense asside from the "green" benefits.
X
It is called risk tolerance, you have less risk tolerance that's all. You may not be nervous about flying and wouldn't complain, but if you took others and put them on a plane, they would whine like a baby that needs milk.
X, that's what makes the world go round, when we were young there was no social media to enable folks to publish their weaknesses for sympathy. We would just suck it up and stayed long or sold. We couldn't ask strangers to hold our hand. Sorry but it is true.
Everyone should adjust their portfolio to their risk tolerance level, life is better. wow did you guys see Silver today, I was like dang. Vein would do better in a fixed CD, he could watch it go up everyday and be happy. Just saying.
Nice, thanks. Try this one out.
Days to cover is a benchmark of how long it would take to cover a long position if every share traded was for the purpose of covering a short position.
Lightwaves is 33 trading days to cover, anything over 10 is high. ASTS has more shares shorted however the days to cover is low (less than 2 days). It takes a while to sink in to the gray matter and some even say that it doesn't matter, but it does.
"A high day to cover means that short-sellers would take a long time to unwind their positions if the price were to suddenly rise. Low days to cover means that short-sellers could easily and quickly cover their positions even if the price were to move suddenly."
I'm not saying when this will happen but Lightwave is in the unique position of having no debt and patents and IP covering multiple unrelated sunrise lines of business (verticals) that the largest companies in the world have an interest of maintaining control or dominating.
Small, fast, low power requirements, and able to mass produce in a foundry using standard well-known techniques.
X. 21 million shares borrowed and sold is the same as having a large buyer that want to purchase 20% of the company.

Funny except that you were seated at a meeting when we asked them to uplist as soon as possible. The answer was no hurry it will eventually happen organically, and it did a few years later. Geez, I know 100% that you heard that with your own ears. Check your notes. They will say "organic uplist" that means not forcing it. These conversations get more convoluted everyday.
Hopefully, you can make another road trip. Perhaps you can pick up Vein and ride together and complain the entire way, lol, I can hear Vein in the backseat, "are we there yet?"
Xster cognitive slippage in motion.

I've thought that the hiring that we have seen over the past year was to help JM replace himself. Over the years he wore many hats but he's getting too old to run at that pace as an employee, so I agree that he will most likely leave at the end of his contract, but I'd see him staying on the board for a while, I'm not sure when his contracts expire.
