Thanks man.
Always nice to hear the fruits of genuine people on this board.
Es, I totally agree on your lines. I'm rolling a little easier. All is good
I assumed we wouldn't have news like that before the meeting. I'm hoping that in the next to weeks there is a chance of it. It would make sense to have a cc to discuss an acquisition or a merger. But yes the order matters. Change the structure, finalize deal, disclose to shareholders.
Kim,
Hire some damn staff please. You are starting to look stupid when for the third time you announce a conference call and still haven't given us a date by the time you estimated you would have already had the call. It's slack.
No manufacturing company makes more then a 10 percent pure profit margin. These are silly numbers man. And I know you are on the bandwagon. Just saying if kblb got to a point of selling silk and they had 1bil in revenue. We would be pretty lucky in the long term to be taking 10 percent profit. That is crazy good.
Uh, merger and acquisition. I want kblb to give them. 1 percent holding and buy them. Not the other way around. I want us to get some puny company and maximize it. Like we did with notre dame labs and a couple grad students. That same mindset applied to a small domestic textile manufacturing company. This dude has heart. He wants things to happen for Michigan. Why else would you have offices in Lansing as opposed to manhattan or la/ San Fran.
Let this be clear. I want kblb to acquire ssm. And if you are the owner of ssm. Wouldn't you want to step into the next level? If he doesn't he's a clown. And I don't think KT would have dealt with a clown. We paid notre dame 2.2 million shares for all their contribtions. On top of the monetary contributions. If you are a kblb shareholder you are sitting beside notre dame and uWY. And they aren't into penny gambles.
But I think we need to not think about us. We don't control the sale price of the company Kim does. You can hop off the train whenever but I just don't see Kim selling this technology for half a bil. He has spent how many years bringing this idea to a state f commercialization. I don't see him wanting to step aside anytime soon.
Why would it matter? There are two routes. Us acquiring a small private company or being acquired by a Nasdaq or Dow stock. I prefer a smaller company. Little dilution. And instant revenues. If we are acquired you can kiss your shares goodbye for whatever Kim decides he will sell for. I don't really like that idea. He can get a half billion for his shares at 1.50. But I know this can be 5 dollar stock in a few years.
The only big news that will have this stock move is a merger/acquisition. That's all I'm looking for by years end. An it could be ssm. That would bring revenue in and expertise in textile manufacturing into the corporate structure.
Asked the other day. Seems a no. Or more likely they maybe attending and don't want to be picked out. I would not say other than through pm if asked.
Hey thanks for the dd
I think Kim already has a million preferred with 100 times voting power or something. Like from a while back. I think he exchanged dividend paying shares for them
Anyone going to the shareholder meeting?
Gentlemen and a few ladies. Lets start off on a new pattern of conversation and responses. For those that have been around for 3 years we are finally seeing our patience fruit. Anyone have an experience to mention? And it's funny that there are a couple dozen people we all know have been a part of the conversation for a few years.
If it was to prepare for future financing needs that would have to do with liquidity. Need shares to issue to Calm Seas. Whatever you feel about them, this company has developed for several years solely on their financing. Which was not a whole lot of money either. 2-3 million? To finance this technology?
I'm not sure but there was a lot of restructuring. I remember Kim saying he could move to the pinks and avoid spending money on compliance or he could go belly up like boatloads of other biotechs - few years ago.

He pretty much explained every bit of ZF science in detail multiple times from many angles. So there was no purpose in staying hear to argue science with people who were just trading, and wanting the volatility.
It's starting to become clear how big this will be. I can't believe the train is moving. I've been waiting three years for this trip.
Spider silk is gonna make such fantastic fishing line.
I would not be surprised if the company we are currently working with would be a significant part of the long term future. They produce safety clothing so that makes sense. It could be that we outsource the spinning to Asia, and technical fabric is supplied to ssm for assembly. If they needed to expand their production capacity to handle this endeavor, they would be best situated to understand what building infrastructure would entail. Seems like if the professor and Gilligan are abroad that they probably want to have the cheap production side of fabric processes by someone else.
Anyone care to speculate if it would be possible to hatch the cocoons here crush them flat to make them smaller and ship them abroad. A shipping container holds what 15 tons about? Plenty of empty containers heading back to Asia.
Looks like he didn't even take the time to create a screen name.
India. BAM!
I'll let you know on Tuesday.
So how does this go again? Small spike up at close of Friday, small sell off Monday, news Tuesday? That's sorta how the last big movements happened in the last few years.
We have broken through several resistance points probably the 50 day bollinger being the most relevant. Going into a Friday we could see some buying. We have had news every week and should be finding out a cc date. As much as he has been inconsistent before. I would think Kim would have his act together with that by now.
We've broken a number of resistance points
Haha

We movin on up. George Jefferson got rich, then moved to the upper east side. The theme song was"movin on up"
Movin on up! To the east side.
That came out wrong. People don't buy planes from the US, they buy from Boeing, and the governement, president included, advocates on their behalf.
People don't buy airplanes from Boeing. The government advocates on their behalf. Pretty common for any industrialized nation.
Who wouldn't want to have kblb in their record of stock recommendations?
Welcome to the board. The boys know me, and they know I don't waste my time arguing the fine points. Trade it if you are willing, anyone doubting still likely holds at some level. There is value in this investment. I'm not a tree shaker. I don't have the ability to buy 2 million or I would. I have what I have and I'm in it for the long.
Yea could be. It was a while back.
It sounded like they had cocoons stockpiled in the last call. If you think about how many cycles have happened with monster silk there should be a half million cocoons lying around.
It depends how long you hold and where this company goes. If they don't merge for 5 years they would very likely have fibers in the dozens to sell. Would the company be worth a billion? Ten billion? Or a hundred billion?
If they are concrete pr's I don't think so. I think the pr's and cc'd after trading hours is so people could digest what the company was doing and not react. I would think we are going to see mostly pr's with concrete and clear info.
The world works in mysterious ways. It would be really nice to watch a steady climb on consistent news.
