Read my post again. Obviously, you missed something. I'll put it more simply, so you can understand. How do you judge what is "toxic" financing and what is not? And by that definition, what evidence to you have that LP is a toxic financier? Usually you can judge by seeing how well they have done keeping out of trouble with the law. I'm certain that if you had evidence that they had been sued or prosecuted, you'd let us know. So "Huh" isn't an answer.
I said I checked the entire database which includes criminal and civil actions. It also includes bankruptcies, multi-district litigation and appellate cases, so I'll throw those in too. You insinuate by your use of the term "toxic funding" that t by direct implication the LWLG organization is acting recklessly or intentionally by dealing with persons and entities that place stockholders' investments at known risk of probable failure. My question was: what evidence do you have based on some common principles of law against which we can measure your conclusion that this is the case. Or are you just in the habit of using that term indiscriminately to characterize any sort of financing?
I check in regularly for one reason or another.
I just checked the federal govt.'s official lawsuit database: pacer.gov (Don't try to log in unless you have an account. Maybe you should get one. It might establish your standing as a credible source of information, if that's what you're after). There is not a single record of any lawsuit or criminal action in that database naming Lincoln Park Financial, L.L.C. as a party (plaintiff or defendant)in any action in any federal court in the U.S. If LP is as terrible an actor as you represent, what's your explanation for that result? I'd like to hear it. The database goes back at least as far as the late '90's. By the way, in addition to the data you reveal, why don't you find copies of the financing contracts for each one and see if there's a pattern of corrupt practices evident in those documents?

Ask Six. He'll give you a list.
They need to make the logo bigger.
I'm sure many of us here would very much like to see you announce your permanent departure from this board. Your snark is clearly no longer a relevant response to corporate events, if it ever was.
There's an original thought! Thanks.
I think all of us there were there for the promise of the technology. We thought once patents had been issued we were off to the races Much has happened since testifying to the complexity of the testing process and adaption of the technology to an ongoing changing market. Much could have gone wrong in the process, but the company has continued to meet the challenges confronting it along the way. It has been an interesting journey and sometimes a bit of a nailbiter. I don't think any of us back at that meeting could have foreseen what was in store, and that has to do with our unrealistic expectations. I plead guilty to that state of mind, but I am pleased that the company has seen in all through.
5 or 6. (I was there).
Have a beer and a shot. Have another beer and a shot. Go out to the lake and kill some geese. Go fishing. Shuck some corn. Buy something you can't afford. Work on your truck. Get out into the fresh air and breathe it in. Visit Colorado, buy weed and smoke it. Anything.

With respect to GP, I do not think administrators are monitoring his posts closely enough. Terms of service state, in part:
"[Y]ou on or through this Site, you agree that you will not upload, share, post, or otherwise distribute or facilitate distribution of any content -- including text, communications, software, images, sounds, data, or other information -- that:
"A. Is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, vulgar, hateful, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another's privacy, tortious [meaning subject to civil suit as defamation, in particular], contains explicit or graphic descriptions or accounts of sexual acts (including but not limited to sexual language of a violent or threatening nature directed at another individual or group of individuals), or otherwise violates our rules or policies[.]"
Under these guidelines, the post you mention should have been deleted as "fraudulent and deceptive". His posts should also be deleted if he disparages management or the company itself with words like "scam", "scamsters", "thieves", "cheats", etc. since they are per se defamatory. Just about every one of his posts violates the above rule. If the mods are serious about enforcing the rules to keep this character at bay legitimately, there's plenty there to take care of it if someone cares to. Let him talk, but don't put up with TOS violations.
This has pretty much been tracking the Dow for the past three weeks,
http://stockcharts.com/freecharts/gallery.html?$INDU cf. http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=lwlg
coupled with the negative effects of the recent cash raise and no projection of short-term upside events. Some are raiding their portfolios to accumulate cash or cover even at these levels. Only a few buying, the rest waiting to see how low everything will go.Lots of people are getting edgy. Big market chart trend looks ominous. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/01/12/charts-show-strong-bearish-djia-pattern-traders-to-short-rallies.html Scary times. Are the doom and gloom crowd right about the next big tsunami? Many must be wondering.
You post and you invite comment. Otherwise, what's this all about? Your comment about what ulterior motives people have is a new twist for me. Or maybe I haven't been paying enough attention. You must have some people in mind and theories about their behavior supported by what you consider precise evidence. I'd like to hear a little bit more about that, unless of course the theory is that these guys are just in it for their fat salaries and are sitting around on their duffs all day having beer parties and watching ESPN football game replays on their 70-inch smart TV's, or drinking bloody marys whilst riding along the links in their customized golf carts. Cause that's really what life is all about. Right? Maybe in New York, but not in Longmont. Or am I just being naive? Sorry, Six, just can't seem to restrain myself. Nothing personal. I do think you're a decent guy. I really do. I just think you're a bit misguided.
Marking your territory, Six? Probably the best message you've posted all all year (or even ever).
The only inside knowledge about anything this guy has is what the inside of his lower intestine looks like.
Please, let's not get carried away. Fecal matter does not change form because it's New Year's Eve.
I think year-end selling and predictable lack of activity in the next two quarters makes sense. It's something that I personally considered when I thought about buying more recently. You may be right too in the sense that some may have sold in response to a sharp drop in share price alone. As to special notice to some investors, again, I can't say. I don't know the terms of the present raise. Was the last raise a shelf- offering of which the present one is a part? Seems that might be the case. Certain offerings may only be made to qualified investors. I don't make $500K a year (or is it $250K?), so I can't say I'm offended by being left out.
Also, concerning "direct response", I made a mistake when I logged in and was still stuck on the post you replied to instead of yours. No attempt to "cover up". When I discovered the mistake, I went back and tried my best to give notice, as you can tell.
This is in answer to post #17764 by inversor86. I would say that the people who hold the vast majority of the stock in this company and have the largest positions are the ones who don't read the board and could care less about what is said on the board. They are not cowed by what dummies like GP say or the "I got had and I'm here to tell everyone else about it" attitude of some. The exchange of a few thousand or at best a few hundred thousand shares of trading on a given day or series of days out of a float that exceeds 50M doesn't bother them. They understand the forces that determine price on this exchange. They have the same information base we do in the SEC filings, public statements and annual meeting presentations. They probably have an understanding of the technology better than any of us and of the market management seeks to enter. My guess is that if they cared to look in, they would be amused or bemused. What is said on this board is largely exchange of views for those trying to maintain a comfort level, who seek to establish a comfort level, engage in reality-checking, vent frustration, spread disinformation or spew hatred.
My thoughts exactly: "Is it possible that the drop is year end selling for tax purposes? Or maybe shareholders seeing the recent letter and concluded that there will not be anything major for the next 2 quarters and figured they can come back in later."
Steve -- I think it would be appropriate to delete GP’s post 17686 (as well Wise's and mine that responded to it) if deletions are to occur. GP's post is a direct violation of TOS: It is: "abusive, . . . defamatory, libelous, . . . hateful, deceptive, [and] fraudulent[.]" as most of his posts are. Please read and delete this post. Thanks.
Are you saying you have been contacting IHUB Admin to get posts deleted?
The article also goes on to say:
"Our electro-optic materials are performing exceedingly well and the photochemical results confirm the overall stability of our material systems [plural]."
I think this probably covers it. There's only so much one release can say without straying too far into technical detail. The details evidently must be published and disseminated to persons knowing how to interpret them.
Curiously refreshing.
Great PR turns truth on its head.
Have to agree with you there. A little too much information there.

I believe at that time we were looking at the 18-24 month "Intel" hook-up. That appears to have disappeared along the way, particularly when Intel put its silicon photonics projects on hold. Intel's decision I think was part of a larger trend that has developed in this market. It seems that silicon photonics is increasingly being looked upon with disfavor in some circles. I know I read an article on this lately, but I can't find it right now. I hope I am remembering this correctly. I'm not a scientist or engineer, merely a lowly lawyer. I'll post the article if I find it.
As to Tom's statement, for me, it was the most important thing he said during the entire meeting. Obviously it's still quite vague, but being the optimist, I focus on the positive parts, such as his statement that he is confident in the materials (as well he should be) and that we are in control now, meaning, I think, taking the two statements together that the company is solely responsible for "design-in" at the prototype level at least, and that some of the 18-24 month design-in time is in our hands. Of course, if I'm totally off-base on this I'll stand corrected if someone with true knowledge and insight can steer me in the right direction. Meaning not one of the chronic nay-sayers.
I did not read the recent interview with Tom, and you talked about 2016 "sampling". I do not understand that term and obviously the context in which it was used. Perhaps you can explain. Thanks.

P.S. By the way, in terms of buy-out, I think if this stuff is proved out to the big-boys' satisfaction, another dynamic takes over. We could get bids many more than a couple of suitors and this alone would shoot the price up, perhaps even to a level that is relatively stable even if the buyouts were resisted or refused given the market bona-fides conveyed by the offers. Anyway, that's all clearly in the future.
Here's a rough transcription of what TZ said at the May SHM: (Still leaves room for interpretation, it seems to me that the company is attempting to do the lion's share of the "design-in" phase itself. About actually getting it to the market? Maybe overlap, maybe same. Can't really tell.

SHAREHOLDER:
I have been a shareholder for five years . . . (Conversation) At the shareholder’s meeting 21 months ago, you said the design-in period was going to be 18-24 months. Now from what you are saying that’s obviously slipped some.
TZ:
Okay, what I said was if you have the perfect material and I’m sure I’ve said this many times which is what you may be referring to, that to commercialize it, you have the perfect stuff right now, it takes roughly 18 to 24 months to get the assessments, to get all the hurdles you have to to get it in the market so you what, you know, what we, you know, talked about back then, it was totally, you know what is possible. We are very focused on the materials. I’ve got a lot of confidence in the materials and now we’re shifting to get it into devices. Now is this the first time you’ve heard me talk about devices? No. The only reason is I know for a fact that none of these partners are going to give us the time of day until we get some results in a device. So the quickest way for us to just prove out the material works is to way into a modulator. Commercial applications? No. Now we transition, and the reason for all this happening all at once, the clean rooms, the jewel certifications and all that is so we can do with those commercially viable devices mainly with our capability and with some help with some of our friends. It’s not, you know it’s not, like we’re giving out somebody some password. We control now. That’s it. Does that help?
