I would'nt ask the Patent Office, I would ask/ remind Ben or Kim Thompson that the timeline is a couple days away for all but one of the trademarks. Monster Silk's NOA was 05/17/11 so it has a little more time, but the rest had an NOA stated on 05/10/11. I would assume since Kim has been so maticulous with KBLB that this should be handled, but a part of me wonders what if this was put on the back burner and forgot about. Kim is handling a lot at once so sometimes things can slip through the cracks, but when a strict timeline is involved there is no forgiveness for being late. Either way I guess we should find something out about it soon.
November should have more news on the way!!
GO KBLB!
The only thing I know for sure is that I'm going to have the biggest smile when I do see the SOU or Extensions update.
Does anyone with good luck getting a hold of Kim want to call and ask why there is no change on the Tradmark status for any of the marks filed. There isnt much time left.
GO KBLB.
(I'm hoping it's just the USPTO that's taking a while to update the info and that Kim has already submitted it)
Congrats! Spillmonkey.
Your wishlist looks just like mine.
Go KBLB!!
Hey firstmike I got your PM. I left the text/article up there in the ibox. I just moved it towards the top under Scientific Articles.
GO KBLB.
Finally some news. Updated the most recent PR and moved some things around in the ibox. Again KBLB has shown that even when it's "quiet" things are getting done and the Company continues to move forward.

Note: This is assuming that KBLB has not already put in their paperwork and in conjunction that the Trademark office has not upated KBLB's trademark status' yet.
I would think/expect/hope that the paperwork has already been filed and now we are just waiting on the TM office to update, in any case there should be something updated by the 6 month deadline. Also with the 10Q due these next two weeks are the ones to watch for some kind of update/news. JMHO
GO KBLB.
I agree with PedroMon about the ibox. Also if you do want to put it in the Ibox Buckeye, put it under the Scientific Articles Section or just put the link to it up in that section. The headline area is really for PR's directly from KBLB. I do like the article, both for who it's from and it's content, but there are many great informative articles about GMod and it would make the ibox even longer if we tried to post it all up there. Great find but not for Ibox headlines. IMO. The hard part about the ibox is not filling it up with too much info and yet providing all the info one would need to be current on the company. Again JMO
Ive been keeping up the Ibox for quite some time now. Looks pretty great I must say (shout out to those before me for making it what it is, mainly manshoon) I must say I've been extremely bored lately since there has been no new info to post. I think that will change pretty soon though and we'll have our hands full with updates.
Go KBLB.
Good weekend to all.
Frustration is once again rearing its head here. A lot of us have been here for quite a while. KBLB has had runs of PR's and then times with no PR's. History has shown so far with KBLB that when they have something done, really done they talk about it. When they're "quiet" it's because of a legitimate reason. This is a biotech research stock so it does take a while to move the chains. With that said, it has been a couple times where Kim has given rough timelines which heightens investors frustrations of not hearing any news. If anything I continue to watch the USPTO.gov site to see the trademark status'. This is another cue to see that the business is doing what it should be. Counter to a rough seasonal based timeline that Kim has given, the trademark office has a set date. If those trademarks just drop away with no extension filed or no Statement of use filed then we know there is a problem. We don't have to wait for Kim to tell us anything to find this out. The six month deadline is coming up fast. The only thing I'm unsure about is how quickly the USPTO site will post that the proper paperwork was filed. For all I know it has been filed already and the site hasn't updated yet, but I really doubt that. Most times when I look for things on the USPTO site it's pretty quickly updated. On the other hand maybe Kim is waiting on this very paper work to get filed and to accounce things accordingly or as others have said maybe he's waiting to dot those I's and cross those T's on some deal. Who really knows for sure, the main things to consider IMO are why you're here with KBLB in the first place (whether it's a long play for you or just a day trade stock) and if the upside is worth your dime.
GO KBLB.

The initial series of silk created was quite a while ago and has been left in the dark (so to speak) about what they plan to do with it and all things considered most are assuming some sort of deal or contract has been in the works to begin profiting from it.
KBLB this year has been working on its series of microinsertions using the newly aquired ZincFingers from Sigma Aldrich and should be giving updates on how they've been doing any time now. Optimism has sided with this company not only from its grand idea of what Kraig Biocraft is trying to accomplish but also in the fact that most developements for this company have run ahead of schedule and for a biotech stock that is golden, but that gold coin has two sides. It's always great to get results quicker then expected but on the flipside shareholders tend to become disillusioned in thinking all things in the process should happen quickly. This takes it's toll on the stock through stock boards and stock sentiment when impatient traders get negative about a stock when otherwise nothing has changed. This can really hurt SP price, especially in the pink sheet world where people are very skiddish and there is almost no reliable coverage on companies. Case in point, the last "quiet period" KBLB had was one in which KBLB secured the use of Sigmas Technology. KBLB was "quiet" for a reason. This episode created extreme contention on the board here and no doubt casted a bad sentiment. In the end those who were screaming the sky was falling were sort of right. Something was falling, but it wasnt the companys productivity, it was egg falling on the faces on those that were ranting about a company not releasing enough information. Come to find out KBLB was in mid contract agreement and approval with Sigma Aldrich pending Simga verifying KBLBs lab/project. BTW if you look at KBLB's history of Press Releases they have done a great job of updating and reporting to shareholders.
The last 6 months have been relatively quiet with this stock with the exception of the update that everything is so far so good with regards to the insertions and that phase 2 was beginning even while phase 1 was still in the works. Other than that update there has been nothing really new to talk about on the board. The companys financing has been talked about and argued to death. The result, Captital is hard to come by so sometimes you make the best deal you can with what you have available.
The overall validity of the company (which is always an upfront concern when you look at a new pinksheet stock) is put aside when taking account of the involvement of Notre Dame University and also the caliber of the scientists involved with the project. In more recent events Sigma Aldrich conducted a check up on KBLB and their lab before Sigma agreed to allow KBLB to use their revolutionary Zinc Fingers technology giving further validity to what KBLB is trying to accomplish.
Main thing to note is that this company has accomplished a lot in the last couple years with the contributions, collaborations and dedication of respectable Institutions (Univ.Wyoming,Univ.Notre Dame,SigmaAldrich) and forward thinking scientists (Dr Fraser, Lewis, Thompson) and with that equally has a tremendous amount to unveil before and into the next year.
If you cant see throwing a dime into KBLB with all this upside please PM me with a better stock for my dime.
GO KBLB.
Hey everyone, just checking in. Still no news yet.
KBLB has till mid Nov. to put in their SOU's for the trademarks they've filed. I can only assume since September is almost over that we should hear some kind of update about the company soon. Till then I continue to wait patiently. This ship will come in, it just moves slow because it's really really big.
JMHO.
GO KBLB.
Always read more than one source:
Depending on which article you read you could get a real different picture of the Bullet Proof skin project.
This article mentions goat silk and silkworm silk seperatley which is good, but makes it seem like Randy just has spools of other spidersilk hanging around the lab to give out and that he has a silkworm project similar to the goats he's been working on? First I've heard of that. Pretty sure that's KBLBs silk that passed through Randy, not made by Randy.
"Initially, Essaidi wanted to use Lewis’ spider silk from goats to capitalize on the ‘grotesque’ factor of the mammal-spider amalgamation, but Lewis didn’t yet have enough of the spider-goat silk to send hundreds of yards to Essaidi. Instead, he sent her spools of silk from silkworms he had genetically engineered in a fashion similar to the goats."[/
Source: http://www.psfk.com/2011/08/scientist-and-artist-make-semi-bulletproof-skin-from-woven-silk.html
This article mentions goats and worms as that they both came from Utah. Again, I believe the "other" silk is from Notre Dame,"The special brand of spider silk came from genetically modified goats and worms at Utah State University in Logan. U.S."Source: http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2011/08/17/breakthrough-bulletproof-human-skin-made-from-spider-silk/
This article makes no mention of silkworm silk, just the goats silk,
"By implementing this bulletproof matrix of spider silk produced by transgenic goats in human skin I want to explore the social, political, ethical and cultural issues surrounding safety in a world with access to new biotechnologies," Essadi said in a news release about the work."Source: http://www.myfoxny.com/dpps/news/offbeat/artist-creates-bulletproof-skin-from-spider-silk-dpgoh-20110822-fc_14664073

Watched the video, Randy was pretty stale on air. It's odd because watching him on the other special he seemed pretty comfortable in front of the camera. Maybe he was put off by an audio delay and that's why he seemed so reserved.
I really don't know where the art comes into play here, at all. In all intensive purposes your putting a uncommonly used substance with skin cells in a matrix to test its durability vs. a bullet. I am missing the art part. She didnt even paint it a different color, she didnt create a full futursitic mock up of a future human and placed the skin peice on it to shoot at. She didnt put the swatch on something that made a political statement when she shot at it. She just created a patch out of materials and shot at it. Art is not the description for that, and yet art can be the description for everything/anything. And as Zinc said it was kind of a poor project. Randy on his own should be doing these kinds of things with his spider goat project. He's had plenty of time to. It baffles me that a bio/artist from another country has to frame this as an art project in someway and Randy says okay lemme give you some spidersilk (by the way, he couldnt come up with enough silk himself to use so a transgenic silkworm enters the picture to supply the rest of the material for the project)but the oddest thing is how it's kept relatively quiet about where that transgenic silkworm silk came from and how it's just thrown in there without any other info in the articles. (Of course I'm just making up what Randy would say, but NO ONE ASKS OR MENTIONS WHERE THE OTHER SILK THEY USE FOR THE "ART PROJECT" COMES FROM.)
So Randy you have been working with goats to make silk huh? Randy says, Yeah. But you couldnt get enough silk from your goats milk, so how did you get around that? Randy: I just had some spider silk make from transgenic silkworms laying around.
It has to be on purpose that they don't mention KBLB. They are using this project as a quiet slant in testing KLABS silk as to how it bonds to human skin and it's potential durability against projectiles. I know Randy is a part of KLABS and not a competitor so this IMO has to be a quiet little "bio/art" project between him and Kim.
GO KBLB.
All this is my crazy speculation.
Also Kim has till around November 10th to put in his SOU to the trademark office for his trademarks on "Spilk","MonsterSilk" etc. That's just a little over 2 months left.
Good call. I also updated the Financial Statements link and the SEC link.
GO KBLB.
USA TODAY Article references "transgenic" silworms.

http://yourlife.usatoday.com/health/medical/treatments/story/2011/08/Bulletproof-skin-created-with-help-of-artist/50088970/1
I'm sure this has been posted before. But just in case.
Excerpt:
Essaidi, who used a European genetics-in-art grant to fund her project at the Designers & Artists 4 Genomics Awards, initially wanted to use Lewis' spider silk from goats to capitalize on the "grotesque factor" of the mammal-spider combination.
But Lewis didn't yet have enough of the spider goat silk to send hundreds of yards to Essaidi. So he sent her spools of silk from silkworms he had genetically engineered in a fashion similar to the goats."
I find it odd that there is no mention of Kraig Labs regarding the transgenic silk, it's just stated like it Lewis's and nothing more.
One great thing this shows is that even though Lewis has had more time out of the gate with his goats then Thompson has had with his silkworms, Kim can already create enough to use for sample products and testing with no problem. Spools of thread in no time!
All the gritty/boring time consuming little details that KBLB is ironing out right now is making people lose focus of what KBLB has already done and what it will have ready for sale when all the I's are dotted and the T's have been crossed. .9's are a dream for anyone to capture right now. A little news and .15 is at your doorstep. That's 55% gain. If I had more scratch I'd be adding to my position. Time has shown whenever this stock has hit .10 it has been well worth the pps. JMO.
GO KBLB.
Thanks Red, I was just reading through the thread and was about to remove him per Rockgirls comment. I have the iboard copied and pasted into a word file so I can always put it back if Kaplan changes his mind on joining KBLB.
It's too bad really. This is where investors damage their own investment. Understanding that pink sheet stocks are a dangerous game and that you should try to get all the info you can, you have to be able to differentiate when you actually find a reputable one (which isn't often) and not barrage their staff and those working diligently with meaningless emails about the validity of what's going on. So to all those who bothered Kaplan with emails, what were your big questions needing answers? Was it worth damaging your investment to get those answers?
GO KBLB.
IMO Kaplan will be back sometime after KBLB releases a detailed PR on what it has done/made as an end product.
Taco is definitely right. Until Kim makes a statement himself there really isn't any point to argue it anymore. Two people (Kaplan and Fraser) through two different KBLB/ihub posters confirmed Kaplan is no longer with KBLB. NO ONE has confirmed/proven he never was. And I think EVERYONE agrees that it should have been/should be disclosed by KIM. And realistically regarding any importance put on Kaplan, he was barely added in JUNE. So if you bought into KBLB strictly in June due to the addition of Kaplan then get out and be done with it if he's that important to you. Otherwise if you invested in KBLB in 2007 (no Kaplan), 2008 (when I got in, no Kaplan), 2009 (guess..), 2010 (still no Kaplan) and the first half of 2011....
You see my point on how much he really matters in the SP and where KBLB has come from. Of course it was good to have him along for the business, but integral he was not. The business of KBLB will continue as it has since inception. Moving toward its goal, showing progress througout the entire way and adapting at every turn. Secondly, there is nothing saying that Kaplans involvement with KBLB couldn't come around again, just at a later stage in the company.
GO KBLB.
Updated the box with the "Second round" news.
Market turmoil has even flowed over to our friends here in pink land. Only reason we dropped below .10 IMO. People pulling money wherever they can. KBLB is on it's path, nothing is going to change that. Kim knows what he's doing and as time goes by we get closer to our objective. You can see they are working and it will pay off.
GO KBLB.
I did'nt think KBLB would move under .10 unless a company error was made/announced. People are probably pulling money to capitalize on a down market. They are most likely taking their profits from the pinksheet market and buying companies with solid earinings at a discount in the main market. Thought about it myself yesterday but didnt act. This is a good time to add IMO.
GO KBLB.
It's been a while since I've posted. Hey all!
No new news makes for a boring/frustrated board. KBLB has been DD'd to the Nth degree here (to the bane and benefit of everyone here).
I noticed KBLB is not on Sigma's front page anymore.
I still keep checking the trademark website and there is still no change in status yet.
Something to read :Spider Silk Glue Inspires Next-Gen Materials
http://www.pddnet.com/news-spider-silk-glue-inspires-next-gen-materials-072611/
KBLB has a lot going on with all it's research projects coming to a head, so I'm still holding as always. Can't wait to see this company take its next big step.
As Tom Petty said, "The waiting is the hardest part".
GO KBLB.
Be kind to eachother.
Great feedback as always Zinc. Thanks for the insight. I was not seeing the hatch rate as such an importance, guess I'm taking for granted that the ZF tech is working like it's supposed to. Anything could go wrong, so it is a good thing to be updated that everything is going as planned and working as it should.
GO KBLB.
It also should'nt take much longer for the current ZF silkworms to show their markers. This should also be a PR to look for.
Just thinking out loud here:
This latest PR IMO seems like a direct result of the Calm Seas Agreement. Kim made the financing deal and CSC most likely required him to issue a PR, and what he chose to say was pretty much a given. They are using the ZF tech. They are using it right away. They are happy to be using it. The only part of insight is the high hatch rate part, but I don't think I've ever heard hatch rate as any part of delight or distain in the entire trial and production of KBLB's concept, so I don't know how much to glean from it. Also you know the PR was a bit forced because as he said in it, it is still too soon to see the markers in the silkworms, why would'nt he wait for that? Because he needed to put something out for CSC. I still have faith in the CEO, but I don't like fluffy PRs. I have the patience to wait for important items and only want "hand holding" when it comes to when or how a CC or PC will happen. Kim has been a great client for CSC and with that I don't see financing ever to be a problem with KBLB. Hope the next PR holds more weight than this one. Just like Redskin said, Lab details and Gen1 details should be on the horizon.
JMHO.

I don't know why supposedly is being used in regards to SIAL verifying KBLB's science.
Source: http://kraiglabs.com/Transcript%20Chartpoppers%206%202011.htm
Quote from Chartpoppers Interview with Kim:
It's also, from our perspective, something of a stamp of approval. Sigma came in and did due diligence on our Company, sent scientists into our lab to make sure our technology was solid before signing the deal with us and that was really the first time we let an outside company come in and actually put a scientist in our lab and review what we've done and what we've accomplished.
And as far as "results" of all that vetting...
The results are SAIL agreed to a License Agreement with KBLB.
Duh, for lack of a better word.
As far as SIAL being a shareholder or partner, Kim called SIAL a minor shareholder in KBLB. It's the 4th so I'm not going to spend all my time researching today. But from what I recall from the conference call Sigma in addition to getting shares from the licensing agreement as payment they also bought shares themselves in KBLB. Making them a minor shareholder as Kim mentioned in the Chartpoppers interview.
As far as a partner, the synergies between what KBLB is doing with SIGMAS tech does kind of make them partners in some way because any good or bad news that can result regarding zinc fingers would either give good or bad press to SIGMA. So in granting the license to KBLB SIGMA does put itself out there for better or worse. And if you share in the good or the bad you are considered a partner. JMHO
Happy 4th all! Get away from the computer for goodness sake, it's a HOLIDAY! (myself included)

Hey all! Back from my vacation to the East coast. So in that time we've dropped .04 cents on no news so it seems, so again it (if history repeats itself) on some decent news we will go back up to .14-16 or higher depending on what we hear next. In my brief search to catch up I find still no statement of use from the Trademark Dept. from Kim yet. I don't know if that's holding anything up, I would think they would have that in and finalized before selling any product, maybe not.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Managing the research and development process.
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (KBLB) is a publicly traded company focused on the commercialization and further development of advanced industrial polymers (fibers) that have the potential for significant commercial applications.
Working in cooperation with leading laboratories.
Kraig creates efficiency by bringing technologies together from diverse research institutions and combining them. This is done under the direction of the company's management and in cooperation with the leading academic laboratories in our fields of research.
The Kraig Research Initiative is our successful program of working with and funding university scientists and laboratories to create technologies with significant commercial applications. As a part of this program, we have licensed university intellectual property in the fields of genetics and genetic engineering. The company works in cooperation with leading laboratories to add value to our proprietary technology. The company sponsors and collaborates on research within the universities' genetic engineering laboratories as a means of employing the greatest minds in our discipline.
Through the Kraig Research Initiative we share our technology with university scientists, and work cooperatively with them to achieve what neither we nor they could reasonably hope to achieve alone. Our work is directly responsible for major breakthroughs in the development of recombinant fibers and recombinant spider silk.
I'm not about to go over 7 days of posts to catch up. Is this info/website update that new, or new at all? Also have I missed any substantial info in the past week. Gotta go run errands, will be back tonight. Appreciate any feedback. Thx all.
Go KBLB.
I need a vacation from my vacation.
Hope everyone has a great rest of the month. We have a lot to look forward to and a lot to be happy about. I just made some updates to the ibox with the most recent PR and added updated links for both of the CCs. I'm starting vacation this week and will be gone for a while. Im going to be visiting the East coast for my cousins wedding! I'll be keeping an eye on things via phone. We have Zinc Fingers news ahead, negotiaton news possibly at any time really and the trademarks are still in the works not to mention whatever else is going on that we don't even know about. Kim has proven himself to be way ahead of us in his executions.
GO KBLB.
Everyone please try to respect TOU.
Good point, both of you guys. Silkmasters comment on Kim mentioning a timeline, and Zinc's refernce to SAIL's website.
Zinc:BTW: the news item about the SIAL-KBLB deal is still, as I type this, on their front page after more than 9 weeks.
Sigma updates their website quite regularly with new graphics and topics. So it's not that they just leave that news there due to lack of website management. It's definitely deliberate. I think they are waiting to replace it with something like;
Zinc Finger Technology Licensed to Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Inc. Proves To Be A Success In Creating Transgenic Silkworms That Spin (Pure /98%) Spider Silk. ( maybe a shorter version though....lol)
Go KBLB.
Will be great to have that exposure on Sigma's site.
So about a week for the use of the ZFs and then you have to add some time to write and line up all the PR stuff maybe. Maybe Sigma would send people to Kraig Labs to verify too. That would also add some time. Have a good day all, got to go to work.
The funny thing about this stock is that it's either over peoples heads, or under their radar.
We issued a PR, then had to issue a "laymans" version of it. lol
-LANSING, MI -- (Marketwire) -- 09/13/10 -- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCBB: KBLB), a biotechnology company focused on the development of spider silk based materials, today updated its press release from September 7 by confirming that scientists working in collaboration with the Company have successfully genetically engineered silkworm moths with select spider genes.
"In response to the feedback from our September 7th press release regarding genetically engineered silkworm, we are happy to readdress our press release here in layman's terms. While transgenic silkworm is the proper scientific term, laymen may better understand what we have accomplished as genetically engineered spider-moths," said CEO Kim K. Thompson. "The genetically engineered silkworms are true moths which have been transformed with only one carefully targeted spider silk gene sequence. That gene sequence relates specifically to silk production."
And since KBLB trades on the tier that it does a lot of people won't even see it, let alone put money into it. If we were on a different tier and had headlines like:
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Announces the Successful Creation of New Commercial Hybrid Transgenic Silkworms Independent Testing Confirms That the New Hybrids Are Producing Recombinant Silk Which Significantly Exceeds Traditional Silk in Both Elasticity and Tensile Strength
LANSING, MI, May 31, 2011 -- Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (pinksheets: KBLB) announced that it successfully mated its transgenic silkworms, which produce recombinant spider silk, with a physically larger commercial strain of the domesticated silkworm. The resulting hybrid silkworms are larger than Kraig's original transgenic silkworms and are also producing significantly larger recombinant silk cocoons....(not putting entire article)
Financial News channels would be blowing up with this kind of news and the SP would be skyrocketing with everyone from longterm fund managers to avg traders/investors trying to get a piece. I mean it's no Pandora (big deal....music streaming) or Facebook(hey look I put a picture of my dog up for all to see how great my life is....) but a brand new revolutionary textile for use in the entire industry is pretty good news too. I should totally tweet this. lol
Happy Investing,
GO KBLB.
Luckily for those who are in or are just getting wind of KBLB you can use this time wisely to do your DD, decide if you want in and what kind of position you want to have when this finally gets it time in the spotlight.
For those that are somewhat new to KBLB I urge you to listen to at least the first 4 minutes of the Conference Call from 10/08/2010. It explains why KBLB trades on the tier that it does, shows Kim Thompson's (CEO of Kraig Biocraft Labs) direct acknowledgement and opinion to the faith and strength of long term shareholders investing in his company and conveys Kim's excitement with the project thus far. The Oct. CC (in it's entirety) also gives you a necessary preface to the most recent CC and lays out Kim's train of thought as to the phases of marketing the products that KBLB is creating . I will post the new CC in the Ibox sometime tonight. Even for the longs the Oct. CC is good for a re-visit.

At the 11:59 mark he begins talking about the qualities of "Monster Silk" for the first time.
At 15:35 Kim lays out his order of operations in marketing KBLB's creations.
Mark 27:00 to 32:35 shows Kim's tenacity with the step up in R&D and that he's willing and open minded to do what it takes if he can't find a JV partner. He tells his POV of why he beleives KBLB isn't really a penny stock and also gives answer to why he put forth a forward split in 2009, that part also lends itself as to any questions in regards to choices or limitations in financing/stability within the research/biotech arena.
-Again the markers/times I put, First 4 minutes, 11:59, 15:35 and 27:00 - 32:35 apply to Octobers CC, not the most recent CC.-
GO KBLB.
I really like the "Post New Message" option that ihub now has above the posts. I no longer have to click out of the window and then click on new post. Good job guys.
Listened to the Conference Call last night for the first time.
(Tried to call in but got disconnected twice, I was at work during anyway) Ducati thanks for your notes (got me through the weekend)
As a long term holder of KBLB I couldn't be more happier with the exceleration and evolution of the entire project since it's proof of concept back in September. Before Sept I was laying my money down on an "if" , "what" and "when".
If they could do it, What will they really acheive, when can they profit from it.
The "if" has been blown out of the water. Recently Sigma went in and verified what they are doing and in showing their confidence with KBLB granted a License Agreement for use of their ZincFingers Tech, Notre Dame has always backed KBLB and even let them make the announcement of proof at their Science Hall in September. It's all been proven. The if still exists for the Pure spider silk, until it's made it's an if for me,(although the Zinc tech is proven to work with silkworms and Kim has tremedous confidence in it and they've shown with Gen1 that they know what they are doing).
Gen 1 on it's own merrits has been a solid investment with surprizes along the way, bigger worms and different strains. A stock price starting at a penny and mving to .26 with a strong base at .10, and maybe a new base at .15 (we'll see how the week goes) (10x the intial investement at least) I can happily continue to invest in Gen 1 (which they most likely have a joint venture in negotiations as we speak with the possiblitly of commercialization end of 2011 (BTW it's June 2011 already!)) and wait for Pure spider silk to come in to play anytime 2012. A large amount of risk IMO has been removed from KBLB with a product in line for commercialization and continued research being done to create their next greater product.
I was very happy with Kim Thompsons attitude and candidness toward the shareholders in the CC. He has continued to show he's a good guy (with personally taking shareholders phone calls and in the few interviews he has had).
The uhmss and ahhs during his speaking only bother me until the moment his words come out, he is speaking about things he can't speak about in some ways so wrap your head around that. One wrong word and a deal could be broken or in breach. Give him a break.
GO KBLB.
Sorry for the long post, but it's been a while.

GO KBLB.
My last post for the day.
Can't wait to see what happens tommorow!
Good day to all.
Sell Triggers and Stop Losses definately a bad thing as proved during the flash crash. But market orders in general?
GO KBLB.
I am still wet behind the ears when it comes to trading I hate to admit.
Totally agree.
How about an unbreakable ipad with spidersilk constructed case and a resiliant flexible screen. An Ipad you could bend and drop!
Just wrote my KBLB pitch. I was going to write:
KBLB: Way Of The Future.
But after reading what it said to put as a pitch (real info, not just buy buy or something abstractly obtuse ie. TO da moon!)
So instead this is what I put:
My KBLB Pitch: "The CEO is registered as testing intellectually in the top 99.9 percentile! Respected names and institutions involved: Univ. of Wyoming, Univ. of Notre Dame, Sigma Aldrich Corp., Dr. Randy Lewis(UNWY), Dr. Malcom Fraser(UNND), Dr.David Kaplan (Tufts University). All necessary SEC filings on record."
Go KBLB.
Although I do strongly beleive:
KBLB, Way Of The Future.
Jinx. lol
GO KBLB.
KBLB #8 on IHUBS TOP 10.
GO KBLB.
Hey Max have you ever sent any email to Kim on behalf of your blog stock website for an interview? Would think the obvious answer is yes, but just wanted to ask. Kim seemed really appreciative of the Chartpoppers guy because he asked for an interview with Kim before the Big September news.
GO KBLB.
Seems like Kim really rewarded someone who was there before the big news broke. Hope this shows just a small peek into the perspective on how he values his longterm shareholders and those who have believed in him since the beginning.
