Yes, I was.

What is this? Wrong stock Xena?
Just a remark on BTO as one of the mentioned contenders. In fact I and two other long term investors in Lightwave were approached by the CEO of a BTO start up company with an innovative method/ application looking for funding. In fact Lebby recommended this BTO / CEO to talk to the three of us. Kind of :” Nothing to lose , maybe these guys can get you started!” After the interview , we decided to graciously decline.. Too expensive, no IP protection, science project, no entrepreneurship. One of the many university science projects and comparable to LWLG anno 2010-2014 at best. I suspect that Lebby wanted to give us some insight in the status of BTO as ‘ contender’ .
Microchips, My advice keep trying. Many here did before you and succeeded. How can you talk about accountability of LWLGmanagement if you are not able to exercise your own accountability? Looks pretty simple to me. Write an email or a letter!
On timing shorts and longs are now again equally served. No end of year deadline anymore. Trading is the name of the game short term. We will have news and we all know its forthcoming, but are at odds on exact timing and surprise impact . Love it. Suspension is back again with the clock now, after almost two years, clearly ticking in favor of the longs.
I wish everybody a healthy and happy 2024. Thank you for all your contributions to this board. I understand that my optimism sometimes gets me ahead of the pack. Sorry if that puts you on the wrong track. I am looking forward how the business performance in the first weeks of 2024 will win from the current manipulative trading practices. Unfortunately today the media, in their search of profits and popular impact, allow all kind of people to direct their attacks on individuals in stead of phenomena. It’s part of the emancipation of the masses and it is has become a business model. Hopefully 2024 will see a fairer treatment of true Lightwave shareholders. A blessed 2024.
Fully agree Scope. Lebby runs a business 24/7 and the business year ends 12/31/23. Trading year 2023 stops today. This is exactly where Wallstreet figures run foul. They think the world runs according to their trading agenda. Business runs according to its own agenda. ( by the way: Lightwave has been issuing press releases on the 12/30 before) . I am convinced we will still see news ( any sort) before year end! If not, we will see it early 2024. Lebby has never disappointed.
I still have this naive belief that in the end it is the ‘good guy’ who will win. So to all the good guys and girls, I wish you all a Merry Christmas. See you next week and looking forward to some really nice surprise announcements in the days ahead.
Please realize that agreements or deals with Tier 1 companies will decide the future and the value of Lightwave as a company. Needs to be the first time right! Can’t do it a second time. Lebby is well aware, we should.
I am also very happy to see that Lightwave secured patents along the total supply chain ( including manufacturing ) for various photonic platform materials and devices..OLED ( Universal Display Corporation) , often referred to by Michael Lebby as an example for business development, was confronted with lots of patent litigation in its early business years. Especially from companies who felt they could infringe through device and manufacturing process technology. Having experienced scientists and business executives familiar with the OLED story on the LWLG board and advisory committee may be paying off big time here.
The need for supply chain diversity, supply chain security and the energy transition requirements - phase out of fossil energy sources and carbon emission reduction - have since COVID taken on a much more prominent position in the political, legal and business decision making processes. Not only the carbon reduction processing ( ESG practices) of Elk Creek, but also the fact that it’s product suite is directly helping to reduce the US carbon emission output is now more prevalent than say 10 years ago. The business value potential has greatly increased and the value of its share price is hugely undervalued.
Xena, glad you are back. Missed your insightful messages.
I think he needs a course in company valuation practices.
I feel very good if I can create that kind of emotion Putz. Hope it makes you feel better. Can’t stay always on edge. I would say let’s remain grateful with what we have here. I am very positive on what will happen in the next couple of weeks.
With just one week to go before X- mas and based on the companies indications, I am kind assuming a very high probability of an announcement of a deal or milestone next week.
A lot of us bought shares Niocorp ( Quantum Rare Earth) at a time when we saw the potential of the niobium reserves. Limited drilling practices, a preliminary plan, no feasibility study, just a potential mining and processing opportunity in America’s heartland with some off take agreements and a German loan guarantee. Forget for a moment our ( disappointing) experiences during the COVID and as a result of the failed SPAC. We are so much better positioned today and greatly de-risked ( permits, off takes, feasibility, demo plant, scandium alloys, ESG etc) and the share price is close to what it was 10 years ago. Just look at the perspective now and than. I would argue an investment in Niocorp now makes so much more sense than when we invested 10 years ago. Putting history to rest and looking at the face and future value of this project - with Stellants and EXIM in the wings and highly probable - we are much better off. The private placement amongst insiders and some friendly is proof of acknowledgment of the value of the project. You wouldn’t put your own money into the company, if you knew it was a waste. Business and investing always future driven. I will not sell a share. I am convinced my shares carry more future value than they did 10 years ago. The current share price is a gift.
I hope they all will make a ridiculously high return on their holdings. Sitting close to the campfire has its advantages and also gets you most ‘heat’!
If the company insiders feel they need the cash to operate, they feel using Yorkville is not helping the share price, Stellantis and EXIM final decisions are not under Niocorp’s managements sole control ( decisions here are not Niocorp’s but it is up to these two organizations to decide if and when) then I think this private placement is a good omen and a justified and necessary action.
It seems clear to me that a Stellantis equity participation and off take agreement is in the process of final formalisation. Why would you allow Stellantis exclusivity beyond the mutually agreed time frame if Niocorp was not confident in the conclusion of the deal? I recall that more companies were interested in rare earth materials, but Stellantis was the fastest decision maker. The other parties may still wait in the wings.
That’s what I call a very encouraging statement. Something we needed. Thanks Walter for sharing.
Still not sure why you are here than?
Where did you find that insightful nugget of wisdom that nothing is sure and all can fail? Wow, that this idiot couldn’t think of that!
Yes, deal track record is not good, that’s why I asked the question whether your presence here means that you believe this time with Stellantis and EXIM will be successful, That’s a simple question. If you don’t believe this, I can’t understand your long time presence here. I put you on ignore. Can’t stand people who act disrespectful towards other people on social media,
That’s not answering the question. That’s a political statement. I am invested because I believe Stellantis and EXIM will happen and this project will go ahead. I guess you are here to see what happens without any clear preference for failure or success despite your many years on this board. You are here for fun and entertainment, I guess, as your nickname suggests.
With the share price under downward pressure and a number of outright very critical messengers on management and project realization , is there any messenger here who wants to be on record by stating clearly that Stellantis and/or EXIM will not happen? Demolition, LCP, Aldra ?
I mean that’s what this is all about, isn’t it?
Can you imagine what happens when Lebby gets his Lightwave business story onto prime time television media. With first revenue guidance a fact, a full blown media blitz will no doubt hit the wires.
Thanks Proto, like your analogy of keeping a beachball under water. Keeping it there will require an increasing amount of power and willpower not to let go! Watching it unfold from the comfort of my arm chair.
Proto, help me here because I don’t ‘get’ the business logic of the shorts here. I understand that institutions and market makers may coordinate their activities to make sure they both get the best possible deal. Fair enough, that’s today’s trading practice. Makes sense from their perspective.
But those 22 million sold shares need to be recovered or bought back one way or another. Digging deeper would suggest nobody wants to be the first to ‘ pull the trigger’ and shorts believe to have more time . Trading yesterday with more sells and a surprisingly higher share price would suggest the opposite is true. Cannot imagine the business logic boils down to ‘ close eyes and ears this will pass and we will be good’! In other words if a squeeze happens so be it. We will take our losses with dignity. Any idea what the shorts hope to accomplish or how they think to avoid enormous losses? Cannot but conclude that the current practice of adding to their short position makes no sense to me. What am I missing? Is this a Houdini act and we will see a miraculous escape?
One announcement, EXIM approval or a strategic equity investment and people will fall over each other to buy this share and all the miserable times are forgotten. This is a great project, lots of money and effort has been invested and this will be recognised soon . JMHO.
Shorts playing in injury time. Just listen to Lebby. The man is a modest genius in his field of expertise. He puts in monstrous working hours and lives up to highest ethical standards. Gives me great pleasure to note that these persons still exist. This board and some of its messengers would at times suggest otherwise. I had the pleasure of meeting Lebby over dinner many times. He is laser focused on delivering what he promised, but even Lebby depends on the cooperation of third party business bureaucracies. We are gradually moving into pole-position.
This is really significant. This well known industry writer and editor used to be rather cynical on the possible role of polymers. Understandably since his main information and revenue sources were the rank and file in the incumbent semi conductor industry. Seeing this change in attitude towards an unforeseen explosion of 800G/1.6 TB pluggable transceivers in 2024 is dramatic for aself proclaimed industry insider and a frequent presenter at photonics industry events. It fits well with Lightwave’s positioning
Meganstar, nice to see you back and feeling good.
Meganstar, nice to see you back and feeling good.
Wonder if Ted and company felt this was coming? Lebby walks the talk, he delivers as he promised. Forget our ‘Salvation Army soldiers’ under the leadership of Major Ted.
Lightwave Logic Issues Shareholder Letter and Provides Corporate Update
Dr. Michael Lebby to Host Fireside Chat with Benzinga All-Access Hosts at 11:30 a.m. Eastern time Today
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power in a small form factor, today issued a letter to shareholders from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Michael Lebby.
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
2023 has been a transformational year for Lightwave Logic ...

X, don’t worry. I have a reasonable large following . I have not heard yet of anyone in all these months that they are taking TP and his soulmates serious.
The trading pattern including a bottom of 3,80 -3,90 we have now witnessed a third time. Algorithms don’t think they are programmed. If programming follows the previous pattern we will see a gradual rise in share price. If we would get news on Monday the program will need to be recalibrated and the rise may well be fast.
One month left for institutions to show a nice result on their investments. Yesterday’s planned end of the month volume spike was a conscious and forceful attempt to establish a bottom price. Off market and after market volume clearly pointed at institutional interference. I expect the share price to recover from here onwards. Especially since I hope the company may throw us a bone to support an upward movement.

Slim Jim, thanks a lot. Great find. Vanguard tripling it’s LWLG holdings since end of July. Confirms again what we have been saying all along. Institutions accumulating in cooperation with shorts and buying ‘off market’. Accumulation is a great sign of confidence in Lightwave. Method of accumulating just shows America is run by big Wallstreet companies, For the political oriented readers, this is not called democracy but it’s defined as a plutocracy despite many Americans claiming they are run by socialists. Its the absolute the opposite. The US is run by big money. For us retail investors, it means just follow the money.
The incumbent suppliers are well aware of the limitations of their current transceivers, more importantly their large customers are aware. The big boys are virtually crying ( e.g. NVIDIA ) for more bandwidth , speed and lower power consumption. Why because it creates more company value, shareholder value. Lightwave for many companies is a life line into the future. Only the short sighted will try to defend their existing turf, but the intelligent and nimble ones ( the ones to gain rather to lose) will always bite. The monetary opportunity is much larger than the status quo. It happened with radio lamps, circuit boards, semi conductor chips, now photonics. It is exactly innovation and competition that powers our capitalist economies. Not the fear of change.
Maybe he should change wives as well. Reading his messages over the years the man is clearly not very happy with his life.
