All good thanks pal, I hope you and yours are well also!
Hey es how are you doing? Yeah it's been a long time!! The duck is good thanks, doing really well!
Doing great thanks King, recently 'teenager'd'!!
I hope you are well!
Oh well, I must admit I haven't looked at Kings for sone time. Maybe they've started to look a little more legit!
Thanks Patrik! Let's hope I bring us some luck!
Thank god for that! I never liked the look of that Kings deal. I always thought it looked like a really dodgy "Walter Mitty"esque company!!
Hello all, I hope everybody is doing well x
I’m assuming it’s still got to happen especially with the confirmed dilution. Unless we get home run type news.....
Correct, they do share a border. 240km sounds like the distance between H? Chi Minh City (Saigon) & Phnom Penh (Cambodian capital). I did a road trip between the two once, it felt like longer than 240kms but I’m sure it wasn’t
Maybe hearing has weakened with age but I clearly heard Jon Rice confirming that the production in Vietnam is not affected by this, it is separate.
Earlier on, YouTube said “Live in 8 hours 17 April 00:30” (I’m in Dubai 8 hours ahead)
Now it says “Live in 4 hours 17 April 01:30”
Implying it’s been put back an hour
:,,( I might need a vodka red bull for this
Hilarious
I’m not doubting your point about the government’s dishonesty but what I can say is that they haven’t taken the virus lightly. They pretty much banned ANYBODY that had been to China in the last 14 days from entering The country, that also put this ban in place almost a month ago. No mean feat considering the level of trade between the countries & that they share a border!
My Wife was a teacher there and her old work friends have not returned to work since Tet (late January)!! I can’t speak for the rest of it but they’ve definitely taken some strong measures to prevent the spread, far more than any western nation that’s for sure (except for Italy in the last week).......
That was the best press release I’ve received from Kraig for a long time, one of the best ever. No nonsense, not as vague and full of sensible explanations and the company holding their hands up for once.
I went to bed before the market opening but it was the first thing I checked upon waking this morning. I wasn’t disappointed, a stark contrast from how my day started a couple of days ago.
Here’s hoping they learn a lesson from this one and see how it was appreciated.
Hi Gimme, if you don’t believe the weather explanation, have a little gander at this:
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/psyche/2012/121234/
FYI Da Nang’s temperature range today was 19-23 degrees C. Their ideal temp appears to be around 23-26 degrees C. If I remember correctly Da Nang is the closest city to Prodigy’s facility......
I’m as disappointed as anybody but have just this morning been reading up about how temperamental & sensitive the worms are. After reading, I’m not surprised that they’ve had problems. It’s apparent that things such as cold spells, heat waves and drought could have an effect on the worms going forward. That would be the reason why we would probably need a completely climate controlled building once up and running. The up-front expense for such a building would be massive so I can’t say I’m surprised we haven’t invested in it already.
It sounds like the company has had a go and hoped for the best so as to hopefully get a result ASAP as opposed to waiting for the weather to turn good. Again I can’t say I’m too surprised at that either as announcing to KBLB’s battle weary shareholders that the company was delaying production for 3-6 months due to climate constraints would in itself have caused a massive drop and a great deal of discontent also.
It sounds like they were between the devil (delaying production and feeling the wrath of the SH) and the deep blue sea (taking a punt and hoping for the best) and they took a punt. Unfortunately it obviously didn’t go as hoped and they’re now owning up to the error in judgement. I’m a gambler at heart so I’d have done exactly the same myself. What did they have to lose apart from the relatively low costs from a failed production run?
My Wife saw the share price and worriedly asked me if this means the company has ‘failed’? I answered completely honestly that it is my firm belief that it’s just a setback, a delay but not a threat to the company’s long term goals. It’s disappointing but it shouldn’t affect the company’s ‘eventual’ success. We’ve learnt a lesson and are now in a better position before the aforementioned punt.
No R/S this year? How so?
Wow they both look like a spider web!
Oh dear.
Wow really web? After all this time that is what you think it is? For years people have moaned about it being ‘artificially held down’ through manipulation like you speculated.
Now you believe it is being artificially propped up through some kind of nefarious practice? Don’t get me wrong, I see MM manipulation but nothing out of the ordinary, and noting more nefarious than what is standard from MM’s.
I don’t think he’s dreaming Z06, I’m extremely bullish KBLB but even I’m expecting buying opportunities before we’ve unlisted/RS
Translation for the video somebody posted from YouTube/VNnews
I must admit, I’m a bit tired of hearing that he’s ‘in talks’. I’ve been hearing that for maybe 6-7 years. I’d like to believe it’s going to lead to something tangible but it didn’t all those other times.
I’m disappointed that we’re looking at end of the year before uplisting, If uplisting is the catalyst for full on production. I can’t hide my disappointment on that point because I’m desperate for tangible production.
No, it is dry season. It is monsoon season in the south at the moment but not near where we are situated.
Rainy season in this region will be roughly September to December.
Perfect analogy.
Sorry to hear that LuvSilk. I apologise as I feel partly responsible for you getting such a paranoid delusionary backlash.
I appreciate what you did. Now go and enjoy the rest of your holiday. Enjoy hot Banh Mi, fresh goi cuon & steaming bunh Cha. I’m jealous
*alluded
Absolutely, as I’ve allowed to before es1, outside of the big cities & the 5 star resorts,,Vietnamese buildings and infrastructure are not the prettiest!!!
Check mail one last time pls ;)
A few comments on the current scenario
For the people disappointed or alarmed at how the facility looks on LuvSilk’s pictures, I can assure everybody that nothing looked out of the ordinary to me. It looks like a typical rural manufacturing location, scruffy disheveled but no doubt a productive hive of activity on its day.
Considering Kim has spent next to nothing since arriving in Vietnam, what did people expect? Trump Tower?
Once we have the proper funding, I’m sure when we are producing metric tons in said facility, nobody will give a hoot how it looks. Ironically it’ll probably look much smarter than today but nobody will care because we’ll all be filthy rich (I know I will be).
Am I concerned that there didn’t appear to be much activity? Not in the slightest. Am I disappointed, absolutely yes. I would have loved to hear all about how it looks like the world and his dog are feverishly working away in that facility. But c’est la vie, maybe it’s not been ‘ramped up’ yet but I know it’s happening and a matter of when, not if.
Assuming that things ARE on a slow start, am I surprised that the company has sounded (in PRs) like more is happening than actually MAY be happening? Of course not, after 9 years I’ve learnt to take some of Kim’s words with a pinch of salt and if it sounds like we are a month away then in reality we are probably two or three away.
But let’s see what he’s like when he’s hit his $50mill burning a hole in his pocket.
One day, some time soon it will be all systems go. I wish I didn’t have to wait as I want to retire NOW. But I can wait, I’ve no doubt, I’m no less confident than when at 50cents. Tbh I wasn’t so confident that we were ‘there’ then as I foresaw some extra bumps in the road and inevitable delays.
My magical crystal ball tells me we are closer now than we were then :)
If I was happy then, why wouldn’t I be happy now?
Ha ha.
Unless you bought at a quarter (excuse the pun) I’m sure you can still afford. If not then I’ll buy lol
Sounds plausible & a good effort, C?m on nhi?u
Well shock horror!! perception is everything.
I don’t use other companies as a yard stick otherwise I’d be invested in those other companies. I think of KBLB and how much communication I believe is reasonable.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been here 9 years, I’m ‘long & strong’ and still have absolutely 110% faith in the company. But I’m happy to err on the negative side just to be true to my own honest opinion.
When I say ‘cloak and dagger’ I’m not inferring anything nefarious, just secretive. We’ve all got our own opinions.
Don’t feel stupid.
Or at least don’t feel stupid alone, we can hold stupid hands lol
Correct es1.
People are making comments about empty bags of cement. Well I’d sure rather see empty bags than a pile of full ones getting wet. Empty bags of cement tells me there’s been activity and work done, presumably for the good of KBLB.
I believe the company, I “know what I own”
But I also know that I was eager to see whatever extra I could.
Let’s shoot straight here Truth, are you altogether happy with the level of news, information & informational photographs that come from the company? If it wasn’t quite so cloak and dagger then maybe nobody would EVER have the inclination to snoop.
If that’s the case, then the company will get wind and post a raft of pictures themselves of the FULL picture.
Let’s see.....
I disagree Truth, I think that’s harsh, he did what plenty of people on this board asked of him. Hindsight is great but I don’t remember anybody piping up to say
“Hey Luvsilk great idea but if you don’t get inside then keep schtum my man”
He was egged on and he responded back. Admittedly it may not have been the best time of day to go as it was after typical working hours (btw the Vietnamese wake early). Maybe in hindsight I should have mentioned that and encouraged him to go at sunrise so maybe I deserve some of the flak.
I don’t read all the posts but I don’t remember reading a note from you asking him to refrain. I may be wrong and if you did I’m happy to apologise....
Hey es1, please check your email
And what exactly is the logic of a RS split in your scenario? What do we gain?
