Photonic integrated circuits are well on the road to revolutionizing datacom and a host of other optoelectronic applications.
How does that compare to mapping the darkside of the moon or making computers see better?
In fact there is much important work that can be done with or without the optoelectronic apps but without is better.
We toured the Busch brewery in St. Louis when it was probably at the cutting edge. The only human that seemed to be working was one with cases of beer on a hand truck headed for the planning office.
Two of the people with sitting jobs actually had atrocious jobs - surely worse than cleaning toilets. They had to inspect the filled and capped bottles moving by on a belt to see there were no missing caps, unfilled bottles or dead mice in the bottle.
Imagine doing that for 8 hours a day. Or even 4 hours a day with likely relief. One might understand then how even a dead rat was once missed as best I can recall.
Turpin's tiny, cool photonic computers could probably do the job flawlessly working 24/7 but do far more complex tasks like "seeing" incoming ICBM's.
Apologize for interrupting the real excitement with a dreary photonic future for maybe us or China or?
By the way, the darkside of the moon looks pretty much like the visible side. Bummer.

Sounds like they just hate Wise then.
Slightly off-target actually.
All PR people naturally hate penetrating questions. If they respond at all, it is usually to a different question [e.g., we don't have sales because we want everything first class].
"We ended the tomfoolery with academia" is the correct answer but not politic.

Hilarious, Theedude, and a near bulls-eye to boot in my opinion.
Type Lightwave Logic ASM - the most recent shareholder meeting has 186 views.
Meanwhile Elon Musk gets 80,000 views for his vastly overhyped hunks of junk. One junker missed being dumped on Mars by a few billion miles or so but why wouldn't a moon of Saturn be just as good?

Dear DeepDive,
I disagree with the claim that what we learn from history is that we don't learn from history despite its telling point. We need only apply what we learn from history though it isn't easy and we seldom do.
I very much respect your knowledge and lessons but dreams can be much pricier than reality.
I sat on my hands and watched unschooled physicist Stanford Ovshinsky make himself and his believers very wealthy over 38 years of "wild claims" without a dime of sales for a science that was very real and is changing our world yet today years after Stanford's death.

I frankly thought the man a con artist akin to Bernie Madoff but it turned out I was the fool.
My theory is that even faith in a middling universal cancer vaccine could be mighty rewarding long before a single human was vaccinated.
Dreams are much pricier than reality and if there were no dreams we would still be living in caves but without cave drawings.

Another wonderful buying opportunity.
Just joshing.
I am no trader but today looks like the many days before the one-decision stocks, the nifty-fifty, the safe Dow stocks ignored the barking dogs as they went mountain-climbing while mountain goats were falling into crevices.
That flight to safety naturally ended with the bulls falling off cliffs of course.
The first solid clue to what was coming presently in my view was Warren Buffett going big into Apple. The Oracle is seldom wrong but that made no sense to me.
Just ignoring my wounds.

Good luck to you in the future, MazelTov. Sorry for your loss.

Maybe the buyer put in a market order without a limit...
Maybe a bot intended to start a buying panic...?
The market trading is dominated by bots today.
Trying to psych out motives in an auction market is a fool's errand IMO.
I spent most of my professional life in an R&D group that had a part in developing the internet. There were many nodes to the group developing Arpanet and our section was not involved.
Today's "technology" stocks are not mostly about science and engineering at all but about cops and robbers, social satisfaction and turmoil, international intrigue, etc.
I felt then and feel now that despite the enormous impact of the internet, the development was more social than scientific.
Back in those days, engineers were nearly 100% male and an interesting research project that combined both hefty scientific and social research was a project to develop better and safer female breast enlargement. Sadly that was done elsewhere.
We are stuck here with scientific research along with a general lack of interest in the nitty gritty and thus the backbiting.
Hard old world at times.

Is a universal cancer vaccine of no interest from AST, DeepDive?
I admit the stiff upper lip of the British research is not encouraging but still...
There was a statement about the great majority of cancers expressing telomerase previously to "some cancers" expressing telomerase but anyway here is a small snippet on the vaccines from a modest 10-Q dated 3/31/18:
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. AST-VAC2 is a non-patient-specific (“off-the-shelf”) cancer immunotherapy derived from pluripotent stem cells for which a clinical trial in non-small cell lung cancer is being funded and sponsored by Cancer Research UK, the world’s largest independent cancer research charity.
·
Acute Myeloid Leukemia. AST-VAC1 is a patient-specific cancer immunotherapy which has generated positive Phase 2 data in the treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (“AML”) that we believe provides “proof-of-concept” for the use of AST-VAC2 in the treatment of AML.
As many here probably know, cancer cells attain immortality from damage to normal tissue cells with the life-span limiting telomeres when they become cancers with unchecked growth. [It would seem benign tumor growth would similarly be checked by repair of the telomeres but I have seen no mention.]
Billions of dollars [and pounds, etc.] have doubtless been tossed down black holes on allogeneic cancer vaccines because of the attraction of a bottled, ready-to-use vaccine vs. the autologous vaccines that must be prepared for every individual cancer.
Probably more billions have been lost on autologous vaccines but the pot at the end rainbow would surely be far larger with successful development of a successful allogeneic vaccine treating many or most cancers.
This curious reversal of making use of West's monumental discovery to kill cancer cells seemed a beauty to me but, for now at least, there is no evidence of a gold rush.
It is at least interesting a charity is funding (or expected to fund) research into an allogeneic telomerase vaccine.

Vein,
So, what makes our technology and patents more valuable than Poet Technology ?
I had expected some pained screams from knowledgeable people about my crude comparison to the old pitched battles between hardware and software but it will never quite go away I think though I think many applications will eventually be hardwired into photonic computers as they almost surely are now. [Look up information on Terry Turpin's tiny, handmade photonic computers for information if you like.]
LWLG's polymers can simply be painted onto any stable surface and programmed for serviceable use but POETF can only be manufactured for certain hardwired applications today.
From POET's own description:
The company processes Indium Phosphide (InP) and Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) based optoelectronic devices and photonic integrated circuits...
Under DenseLight Solutions
https://poet-technologies.com/
That would give the impression POET's technology is applicable to other platforms but, in reality, LWLG seems to stand alone with polymers that can be painted onto other surfaces. No one else likely has the current knowledge and ability to duplicate LWLG's polymers that will eventually include all needed conversion devices even if thieves ignore the patents - a common thing these days.

AgeX is probably the easiest to spin off since it is private
Nsomniac,
Don't we all love grammatical corrections?
I think any corporation only spins off formerly private companies. With a holding in a public company, there is a market price and a company would sell its investment with a known public price. In the case of AgeX, BTX has already sold shares to private parties so there is a bit of a documented price already.
Which is all imaginary in the first place.
My favorite bit of monetary value is certain Yap currency that consists of huge rocks that reputedly take 6 very strong men to move.
https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/02/15/131934618/the-island-of-stone-money
Now that's surely sound currency in any language.
Other currency is supposed to represent true value but nobody knows what that is.
Best definition of price is what you can buy something for or sell it for. That's where auctions shine. Auctioneers sell some items that are otherwise unsalable.
Now to try to answer your question, I expect Dr. West to keep an interest in all or nearly all the companies he founded whatever BTX or others do. I would expect AgeX to eventually spin off parts.
This is much the way Phillip Frost, a medical doctor entrepreneur, operates. He has made himself a multi-billionaire investing in his own companies. If you think Frost isn't as far out as West, consider Frost buying into an Israeli start-up that plans to cure - not treat, cure - all 72 varieties of muscular dystrophy and other "nonsense" [from abstruse antisense lingo] diseases. Sarepta has finally had some success and wild acclaim in places with a dubious treatment for Duchennes muscular dystrophy.
Frost, the "Warren Buffett of Biotech," couldn't be more different from Buffett in his targeted stocks but the modus operandi is much the same in concentrated lifetime investing in what they know best.
Like Dr. West.

Wherefore the opioid crisis?
In the case of opioids, the treatment options include two medications, methadone and buprenorphine, that both have a well-documented record of helping stabilize users. Yet these treatments remain in pitifully short supply, particularly in rural areas that have been especially hard hit by the epidemic. Since methadone and buprenorphine (marketed under the name Suboxone) are both opioid-based, they are frequently dismissed as just another form of addiction, but this is misguided,
[tell me about it.
for both reduce the craving for drugs and the symptoms of withdrawal and so help the drug-dependent function normally.
That making such treatment more accessible could help stanch the current epidemic is clear from the nation’s experience with an earlier one—the heroin wave of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1971, President Richard Nixon (of all people)—intent on combating the crime associated with drugs—set up a special drug-abuse prevention office in the White House and authorized its director, Dr. Jerome Jaffe, to make methadone (and other forms of treatment) widely available. Clinics were quickly established across the country, and within 18 months almost everyone seeking treatment could find it. Both heroin use and the crime related to it sharply declined.
Unfortunately, during his 1972 reelection campaign, Nixon—wanting to look tough on crime and drugs—began shifting federal attention away from treatment to law enforcement and incarceration.....
And thus the opioid crisis.
I have been in an opium den in Bangkok and it looks and feels as bad as the pictures but the addiction and death rate is quite modest compared to that from alcohol and and tobacco.
Is there then a chance for Insys' opioid drugs to save lives as well as easing final agonies?
- Some, I guess, in today's gruesome casualty list from the mindless Drug War battlefield.
Best hope for INSY remains medicinal cannabinoids.

Best, Terry
pymadams,
One reason for splitting of AGEX must be to allow price discovery to function better. These actions are usually considered a success if splitting the parts leads to an overall higher valuation.
Near as I can tell, BTX has been very successful in raising funds with his spinoffs and already has raised money from Daddys Warbucks with the ultimate spinoff of AgeX.
I don't expect huge new revelations when AgeX shears its umbilical cord from BTX though nobody can tell a story better than Dr. West.
A shareholder at the annual meeting held in NYCity complained bitterly at length about "giving away" BTX's valuable technology.
I know no small R&D technology corporation that has been as successful as BTX in raising funds for research without any commercial sales. I wonder if AgeX might continue to expand the same way?
Obviously something for a distant future.

A Soldier's Story
Audie Leon Murphy (June 20, 1925 – May 28, 1971) was one of the most decorated American combat soldiers of World War II. He was awarded every U.S. military combat award for valor available from the U.S. Army, and was decorated by France and Belgium. He served in the Mediterranean and European Theater of Operations. Murphy received the Medal of Honor for his defensive actions against German troops on January 26, 1945, at the Colmar Pocket near Holtzwihr, France, aged only 19. During an hour-long siege, he stood alone on a burning tank destroyer firing a machine gun at attacking German soldiers and tanks. Wounded and out of ammunition, Murphy climbed off the vehicle, refused medical attention, and led his men on a successful counterattack.
https://tinyurl.com/y737yo36
Audie also fought in Korea but nobody cares about that. Even Truman firing Big Mac has been mostly forgotten.
There was a third war of a very different kind Audie fought and he never really lived the disgrace down.
A tale of the unmaking of the first American movie filmed in Vietnam in 1957, the scandalous and disasterous undertaking is finally exposed. Surviving cast and crew members explain a contorted drama behind the scenes as Audie Murphy goes to Vietnam, foreshadowing the war-to-come. It depicts Hollywood at its worst!

Pandas belong to the fox family.
Thank you for your response but we are both wrong and can learn something.
From the Smithsonian [https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/red-panda]:
Red pandas are the only living member of the family Ailuridae.
The giant pandas are now classified as bears though they live on bamboo. A bamboo diet seems to be the only connection to red pandas which did look like foxes in newspaper photos but not at all in the Smithsonian photos.
The internet is rife with dated or misinformation denying giant pandas are bears but again from the Smithsonian:
Giant panda:
Class: Mammalia
Order: Carnivora
Family: Ursidae
Ursidae is the bear family but why bears are placed in the carnivora order is beyond me.
https://nationalzoo.si.edu/animals/giant-panda
Does it matter?
Yes.
Best, Terry
Huge day for the start of a huge run to the stars.
The bulls aren't even interested in the cows. The bears are all panda bears that aren't bears at all.
Nice summer day, not a cloud in the sky with a huge stockpile of fuel for a forest fire sparked by dry lightning.

Probably not.
Such spectaculars are unpredictable which is why they are spectaculars.
But I am sure there will be one sometime.
At least I think so.

"Insys also believes its formulation can offer longer shelf-life, which is another potential advantage easily overlooked by investors," Trbovich said.

Sorry for a beastly sense of humor.
This appears to be one announcement of unalloyed good news if nothing else crops up.
Thanks from me too.
Best, Terry
terry, you are entitled to your opinion.
And for sure your opinion as well that I usually agree with.
This a complex technology that has a ready and willing market. Yes maybe can do this ourselves but at what cost? We probably need a much bigger facility and many more employees. Also, probably a relatively large sales force. All this requires money. I am very forward thinking but I am also very pragmatic.
I agree with every word you wrote above except pragmatic.
Forget hoary old stories like P&G rising from a puny soap maker after overheated boilers overflowed with what became Ivory Soap or J&J building a monster corporation from the success of Band-Aids and even the comedy of GE's monster effort to crush newborn IBM by buying nearly all its top executives.
Instead try to remember the meteoric rise of Google with its zany name to be a monster monopolist defeating even older dominant monopolists like MSFT.
As I see it, LWLG will grow fast on additional dilution and soon fast-growing profits under the like of Lebby or [best case after sellout] grow far slower with sludgy management interested mainly in next quarter's financial reports and their golf scores.

Of course when you have something that the world wants and needs that is potentially worth many many billions of profitable dollars you can not control your own destiny the same way Gates, Musk, Zukerberg, Jobs, Pichai and the richest man in the world Bezos all had to sell out their Golden Geese.

What's done the best is Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway it's just crazy
Also not true.
Buffett has been a wonder no doubt but he made his fortune and rep on tired old cash cows - a feat of genuine genius no doubt.
American Research and Development made billions off a $40K investment in Ken Olsen's plans for a minicomputer when IBM, the then Armonk Monster, was destroying all comers. From bitter experiebce with Olsen's computers and even his 4-week "university" course, I am sure the money had to come from Olsen's library of manuals in trying to keep the bastids working.

Proto,
to keep the record straight, I have always said that I would prefer LWLG to grow itself, not sellout
I posted frequently that you were often insightful. It's those delusional episodes that bother me.
- A psychologist showed a job applicant a drawing of a triangle and asked what it made the applicant think of.
"Sex," was the answer.
- The psychologist got the same answer with a square, a circle, a trapezoid and an ellipsoid and finally said, "You sure have a dirty mind."
"Me?" said the applicant. "You're the one with the dirty pictures."
I only worry about ellipsoids.
Best, Terry
terry, LWLG does not currently have the resources to really see this complex technology to its full potential
This is the kind of defeatist hogwash that nearly destroyed LWLG years ago, according to reports on this board the last day or two.
Apparently a predecessor or newly minted LWLG had shareholders reject a proposal to issue more shares and then tried to market its polymers needing lots of work.
"Let's scrap this aeroplane we can't get in the air," Ollie might have said to Wilbur, "and stick to bicycles that we can sell."
Good thing they stuck with the aeroplane and even took people like my father's neighbors on rides in county fairs.
There are reasons America was able to build the greatest economic engine ever on the planet and one of those reasons is public corporations.
Terry if company X offered $100 per share today would you not take it?
I once refused to sell even after a company was swallowed up by a competitor and eventually years later my broker sold my shares without asking.
I would sell only when I had no choice or when LWLG got another atrocity like The Admiral as CEO, replacing Lebby.
I expect the widow and orphans would have to make such decisions.
Best, Terry
Be sure to fire off a letter to the PIC International Conference folks
I leave international politics to you sellouts.
I am happy to be able to own shares in LWLG.

in the end LWLG will be taken out.
Only if Lebby is a sellout and he doesn't appear that way to me.
I doubt even today an Intel [would even Trump allow LWLG to be sold to "enemy" Canadians?], an IBM, MSFT, maybe even AMZN would easily let LWLG be sold to a competitor?
What about Sinopec?
BEIJING (Reuters) - Sinopec Group has launched a 10 billion yuan ($1.48 billion)investment firm in China’s new economic zone of Xiongan to fund new energy, green products and artificial intelligence, the company said on Thursday.
The new investment arm, Sinopec Capital Co Ltd, is one of the first state-run entities to be based in Xiongan, Sinopec said.
The Xiongan New Area in Hebei province was launched in April 2017 by President Xi Jinping and is part of a state-driven campaign to integrate the economy of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and ease congestion and pollution pressures in the Chinese capital.

That sure would clean up a lot of polluted air in Silicon Valley and Colorado and even Putin might get concerned.
Do some folks ever think about what they are proposing?
LWLG will truly disrupt like few other business enterprises in my opinion. People, and especially megagiant corporation management, really hate being disrupted unless they are the disruptors.
Best, Terry
All of Dr Lebby's LWLG presentations have shown Polymer Photonics and Dielectric Photonics as the "Purple Brick Wall" breakers
I feel quite certain Dr. Lebby knows the difference between hardware and software.
Kindly address how POETF will "rewire" polymers and for what purpose.
LWLG can easily adapt to earlier technologies but most efficient use of perkinamine requires a revolution in technology that seems to me to leave out POETF's inflexible hardware solution for multiple usage.
Lebby also looked far beyond even current projected use of perkinamines as you know was shown to you after your denial.
Lebby is not in the business of making enemies nor denying others their due.
Best, Terry
Im thinkin we should just buy out Poet Technology.
Why do you think we need obsolete technology even before its fully developed?
Let's understand POET is developing a hardware solution but won't LWLG's polymer technology obsolete POET's solution?
- Admittedly this is a question.
Hard wiring plastic?
Just doesn't sound right.
BTW last I heard POET was not a homeless waif but had dumbo sponsorship as best I can recall. Dumbos are nearly always trying to hold back the tides rather than surfing the waves like LWLG.

New Fans Update.
When we first tried to get a prescription for Galliprant it was a challenge in our remote location in upstate NY.
Nobody knew anything about the drug and we could only buy it mail order with prescription. The dog was a pitiful basket case and a routine drug was generally useless with enormous pain continuing from arthritis.
My wife just got back with glowing reports from a mandatory check up, news other dogs were now on the drug and doing great as well.
Eli Lilly is now pushing the drug offshore as well as in the U.S.
I expect at least the marketing of Galliprant to be sweet reading in the future and hardly the only arrow in PETX's quiver.
We all know the finances are - difficult - and I am personally appalled by the "help" from an "activist fund" but I have my rose-colored glasses firmly in place.

Again very very limited resources.
Hogwash.
People are a great resource when they are great people. That makes LWLG a great company indeed.
Yeah, but money...
Money is much more than the root of all evil. It can be squandered or stockpiled penuriously that is also a road to ruin or it can be spent judiciously by those who understand it.
Yeah but raising money...
That's a primary job of the CEO, often the only real job as head of an R&D startup. I have been awed by one scientist whose science often seems beyond the cutting edge into mysticism. [How does immortality grab you?] His main fund-raising has been through spin-offs in recent years with immortalized fat cells [I do not have nearly the ingenuity required to make up stuff like this] being the nearest candidate for commercialization.
Should Lebby just dump everything into the lap of a giant dumbo?
- Hell no is my answer.

I'm curious if hiring Dr. Karen Liu means new and improved IR for Lightwave
Not likely as I see it. Perhaps as I hope.
Ever hear of Stanford Ovshinsky, the unschooled Polish physicist, who jealously scoffed at "threadbare physics Ph.D's" reading papers to each other at scientific conventions while he wore handmade Italian shoes and silk Hong Kong suits.
Probably looked like a gangster or pimp with a big car to match but Stan made himself and his investors very wealthy during the 38 years before his Energy Conversion Devices made significant sales and even profits.
Ovshinsky's inventions [ovonics yet] are still on the cutting edge today.

Ovshinsky was unique, a man quite capable of shaking the market with his own dazzling proclamations amid an army of doubters that included me generally.
Lebby and Liu are not cut from the same mold as Ovshinsky. No one is.
Investors get a bargain with the like of Lebby and Liu talking to people capable of understanding them instead of the usual Street people pushing more junk for hearth, house and home with catchy jingles.

From the referenced message to LWLG IR:
There were probably half a dozen other stated objectives/projects throughout this decade long odyssey, all of which have since been scrapped so honestly, after a whole decade now, I get suspicious whenever it seems like the product line, and concomitant time-line, changes on us investors.
In my view, Lebby - instead of scrapping the future - is picking up the pieces so casually junked by The Admiral on the Admiral's academic junkets.
Best, Terry

Horrors!&!!! Ugly, ugly, ugly.
Every self-respecting MB poster always buys at the lowest price ever and sells at the high. Truth marches on - and away.

Excuses don't wash here.
In over 60 years of stock investing I only made a good trade once and I owe it all to The Admiral.
Funny thing too. In a packed annual meeting I am the only one who heard The Admiral fib despite the dreadfully awful questioner being somebody else.
Life is often strange, especially on message boards.

Yeah and Ross Perot was paid $700,000 not to be a director any more of General Motors. Perot said he thought he had set his trouble-making value too high but Ross underrated himself.
The other guy's job is always easier. I have to admit I have not always widely credited the value of directors. Perot was later proven right about GM but Perot may have been wildly off the mark in his own prescriptions for GM despite his own superb management in a different arena.
Very interesting post from the inside.
Again I think Lebby is probably underpaid and happily agree with somebody who knows much more about it.

Congress May Soon Make CBD From Hemp Legal
That could theoretically even be harmful to INSY. Theoretically I say because INSY makes none of its pharmaceutical grade CBD from hemp.
Hemp has a very small amount of TCH in its total mass. Drugs offered for sale from hemp are very "dirty." INSY may be able to to get a highly purified CBD from hemp but the cost might be prohibitive.
Still and all, legalizing CBD from hemp would be another break in the insane barriers constructed against Cannabis.
That would be very good as I see it.

IMO We are quickly reaching a point where this Science/IP will become a must have by one of the Larger fish out there.
Believe it or not, owners still have some say in whether a corporation is sold rather than only lusting dumbos.
More importantly perhaps is that our unjudicious Supreme Court long ago handed over control of corporations to management by allowing poison pills rather than the presumptive shareholder owners to stop corporate raids and even just the threat by the like of T. Boone Pickens.
The medicine may be more poisonous than the disease but it is wise to see the way things are rather than the way one wishes them to be.

there are many posts of late that I have no idea what you are talking about.
It's entirely possible I don't either.
I appreciate being called on blunders. Only Pope Francis is infallible. Quite seriously I think Francis is one of the truly great men of any age though I think his sincere belief in the supremacy of men in keeping with Catholic doctrine is abominable.
One of the great learning experiences of this old dog was at the Museum of the Confederacy in a headquarters room of Jefferson Davis only a short drive from D.C. A lecture by a retired black master sergeant working on a master's degree in history was stunning. One of his early non-academic teachers who had taken an interest in a small street urchin was a granddaughter of Jefferson Davis. Later I learned that a bit of inculcated false doctrine learned from a spell-binding nun teaching history had held for over 60 years - i.e., that our Civil War was not a fight over slavery. She was so good that I got a single answer wrong on one question without ever opening the textbook. I missed Charlemagne's birthday by half a century.
The loud, boisterous denunciation hereabouts of the fact that academia is the primary source of fundamental basic research is a bizarre show of basic ignorance:
Although industry funds two-thirds of U.S. R&D, the majority of basic research is conducted by research universities
