VIEW THE APPROPRIATE ARTICLES, LOCATE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION.
I MERELY PROVIDED YOU WITH A "STARTERS KIT."
IF MANY ARE SO CURIOUS TO REALIZE PLAUSIBLE AMOUNTS, THEY'LL PERFORM THE
NECESSARY DUE DILIGENCE IT REQUIRES.
And how much more in volume (cubic feet) does it take for wet water to weigh a ton over dry water due to the essessive humidity??
ASK YOURSELF how much more of KBLB'S "spider-ish" silk, would it take, to produce a
metric ton, compared to that of mundane silk.
Plenty of info out there to begin ones hypothesis, such as the one I posted earlier and:
Spider (Linothele megatheloides) and silkworm (Bombyx mori) silks: Comparative physical and biological evaluation-February 2020
Include their diameters of thickness:
The Differences Between Spider Silk & Worm Silk
AND
Silkworm silk vs spider thread: strength, thickness & future uses
When you've done the calculations, merely split the difference for the hypothetical
conclusion.
Or merely go back to the "post of fza's, " responding "what happened to ignore city?" If that
was a satisfactory response to a serious post.
You and others were...
Thought i'd make an exception during the Holidays.
In the event I respond to a post of yours, please feel free to act as if you didn't see it and not
respond...
Your choice...
NOW GETTING BACK ON TOPIC WOULD BE NICE.
Whatever happen to Ignore City????. I thought I was on the blacklist.
Scientific data such as molecular weight, for starters.
Don't want to go all out marketing (guerrilla, etc.) an item that hasn't been proven to be
produced on a continuous/yearly basis.
I wish KBLB would get going on the marketing side of things...
QUESTION BEING, HOW MUCH WILL NEED TO BE PRODUCED CONTINUOUSLY, TO MAKE
THE "BIG BOYS" STAUNCH BELIEVERS IN THE TECHNOLOGY?
IF PROTOTYPES ARE WORTHY OF THEIR NAME BRAND (THROUGH TESTING,ETC.
I know quite a bit about start-up companies in this situation. What you say is not entirely untrue but it is grossly misrepresented.If the technology is sound and the valuation of future earnings is strong there will be very little to any leverage fo the coporation, especially since KBL is publically traded and, while not desirble from a shareholder perspective, can always issue mor shares to raise capital.
Even with a sale price of $1,000.00 a kilo, that still wouldn't get them out of the red
(MILLIONS IN DEBT, WITH CERTAIN INTEREST BEING COMPOUNDED).
Only way they make real money is hoping a MAJOR CORPORATION joint ventures with them,
where a percentage of the profits go to KBLB.
Of course, the MAJOR CORPORATIONS will have the upper hand, as they are blatantly aware of KBLB's
financial position, etc., etc.
Business is business.
KBLB would be losing boatloads of money at $50/kg.
They would probably need to charge closer to $600/kg.
Interesting that you identify this statement:
<< If we assume a sale price of $50/kilo for the blended yarn (this price is quite high) >>
KBLB would be losing boatloads of money at $50/kg.
They would probably need to charge closer to $600/kg.
"According to Kraig Biocraft’s website, a kilogram of recombinant spider silk costs less than $300 to produce"
https://www.genengnews.com/topics/genome-editing/weaving-textiles-from-recombinant-spider-silk/
Funny how someone with no access to internal data somehow knows KBLB’s exact cost structure and pricing strategy better than the company itself.
Accountability only acknowledged when he (Board of Director"s") deems it necessary (or
when receiving letters from regulators).
Technically, never has to.
Que sera, sera.
you are absolutely correct in diagnosing the issue with Thompson's credibility being a big liability for shareholders.
Honestly, Mr. Thompson, honesty would help you a great deal.
Acknowledge your failures (such as predicting a metric ton of spider silk in 2024), explain the issue, show how you have worked to overcome the problems, and provide a revised estimate based on more than just wishful thinking.
Posts you've generated says it all.
#WHENREALITYSETSIN
I'm very disappointed with the recent lack of interest in KBLB.
A DECADE AGO, KBLB PR'D THE POSSIBILITY OF PRODUCING A
METRIC TON.
MORE THAN A YEAR LATER, IT WAS EXPLAINED WHY THEY DIDN'T PRODUCE THEIR SELF-
IMPOSED TASK.
SEVERAL YEARS AGO (BACK WHEN WARWICK MILLS AND CHARLES HOWLAND WERE
ALL THE RAVE), IR STATED KBLB DIDN'T INTEND ON HAVING THEIR OWN MARKETING
DEPARTMENT.
THINGS CAN CHANGE THOUGH... 🙄
NOT ENOUGH PRODUCT TO WARRANT AN ENTIRE DEPARTMENT DEDICATED TO SALES.
NOT BY A LONG SHOT.
Wonderful. A PR not explicitly stating they didn't reach their goal of a metric ton by EOY 2024.
I don't want another update from them until they have a sales department, bridge loan secured, 1.5 tons, and products out.
Being led on for a year is not showing appreciation for your stockholders.

THESE AREN'T YOUR MUNDANE SILKWORM THREADS.
LET KBLB TELL YOU APPROXIMATELY HOW MANY POUNDS IT CONVERTS TO.
THEY WANT TO PROVIDE POUNDAGE OF COCOONS...
ALLOW THEM TO TELL THE ENTIRE STORY..
HIDING SOMETHING?
Do a little due diligence and you will find that the number is 300-335 lbs from 1200 lbs of cocoons. Could be as high as 400 lbs. Don't accept any rule of thumb conversion factor that is spit out by AI and then try to apply it to a unique product. The people entering the data into the AI brain are just typing in words and numbers without any idea what it all means or pertains to. Which so-called expert gave them the info. AI is nothing more than the new digital bathroom wall. Why don't you try typing in "for a good time"..........
Kim spoke to the cost per kilo being around $300.00.
If that's the case, how much more will he charge each potential future client for samples,
without them feeling they overspent?

Instacart (CART) Reported A 12.37% Operating Margin Last Year—What’s The Real Story?
By Samuel Moore-December 6, 2024
LINK
Deutsche Bank has recently initiated Instacart (CART) stock to Hold rating, as announced on December 3, 2024, according to Finviz. Earlier, on October 16, 2024, Jefferies had initiated the stock to Hold, setting a price target of $43. Raymond James also initiated Mkt Perform rating.
Additionally, Cantor Fitzgerald initiated Overweight rating on September 5, 2024, with a target price of $45. Wolfe Research analysts, in their report published on July 16, 2024, also initiated Peer Perform rating for Instacart’s stock. Analyst ratings are significant because they provide insights into stock performance expectations, influencing investor decisions and market sentiment.
Trading groups exiting; slowly but surely.
If they wanted to, it would've rose to over a dollar...
Only to eventually retreat without a catalyst to continue the momentum.
Could be an organised "head fake" but it's too early to tell. 😔
Like explaining how much actual reeled silk (in pounds) was produced from the alleged
1,200+ lbs. of "recombinant" cocoons.
It would be nice to get alot of things. Just one glaring thing. He brags about cocoon size with no correlation to general silk cocoon size. If it's so great compare it to actual silk cocoon size.
Are they 100%
90%
75%
Investors have no idea. It's like his biggest ever quotes or multiples of unknown.
He absolutely needs to come out with hard numbers on the next batch or it will be brushed off, just like most of what he says.
Even Kim has gone on record as he believes the share price doesn't reflect the value of the company. Maybe if he was less ambiguous and more clear on things investors would buy in.
The CEO has a credibility issue because of his past track record. Until he starts to communicate clearly and consicely on a regular basis, stops recycling old news and completely gets rid of his multiples of unknowns and biggest evers without actual numbers detailing how long it took to get somewhere, his credibility will continue to flounder.
In DJ Khaled fashion:
Now a poster is falsely make accusations of shorting....
I've stated years ago, the only time I would've shorted KBLB is if the NASDAQ Committee granted them access to their exchange...
Would've been a money-maker for sure.
Didn't happen, so here we stand.
<< "This video is worth 20 PR’s" >>
You hear that ****bag....
You won't have to post another PR for about a half a year....
Re-stating 1,200 pounds of cocoons is unreasonably silly...
If you say so.
I mean who expects a PR every week lol. Completely unreasonable and silly.
“Pump And Dump” Schemes
Welcome to Your Money. Today, we’ll talk about one of the most common investment frauds – the “pump and dump” scheme. Here's how it works.
First, there’s the glowing press release about a company, usually on its financial health or some new product or innovation. Then, newsletters that purport to offer unbiased recommendations may suddenly tout the company as the latest "hot" stock.
Messages in chat rooms and bulletin board postings may urge you to buy the stock quickly
or to sell before the price goes down. Or you may even hear the company mentioned by a radio or TV analyst.
Unsuspecting investors then purchase the stock in droves, pumping up the price. But when the fraudsters behind the scheme sell their shares at the peak and stop hyping the stock, the price plummets, and innocent investors lose their money.
Fraudsters frequently use this ploy with small, thinly traded companies because it's easier to manipulate a stock when there's little or no information available about the company.

Instacart Price Target Raised To $56 From $49 At Loop Capital
TipRanks-Dec. 9, 2024, 08:33 AM
LINK
Loop Capital raised the firm’s price target on Instacart (CART) to $56 from $49 and keeps a Buy rating on the shares.
The firm contends that the company is positioned to maintain leadership in helping grocers migrate their businesses to better serve digital consumers, also noting that Walmart’s (WMT) success in the sector is encouraging and likely signals an accelerated pace of development for other grocers, the analyst tells investors in a research note.
Grocers that lean into digitization have potential to improve operational efficiency and gain share against slower moving peers, the firm adds.

I was told by someone well vested in stocks that provide everything goes correctly, $97 a share is embarrassingly low. I've said $97 a share since 2010 and thought that was high.
This is not 'like' under armour. This is not 'like' kevlar. This is not 'like' anything the world has seen before.
It has applications in nearly every industry and the world wants it.
The people saying they're interested at 3 bucks, 5 bucks, etc. a share are considering what they want for their shares for their end game.
As fun as it is to guess, most on this forum need a reality check. Were an 8 cent penny stock with the most upside in the world. Nothing will happen until products are made and money is given to us.
Kim could sell today and be worth 16 million at retirement. He'll never spend that money.
He's not going to sell - he's going to see this through. When you're motivated to something, money doesn't push you out, success and being pushed out pushes you out.
Kim has everything lined up and we're waiting for the dominoes to fall.
DO NOT SELL OUT AT ANYTHING UNDER $50 A SHARE!
Sorry you feel that way.
Poster (EOT) stated one thing and I spoke to it, in disagreement.....
Like people sometimes do on a message board.
Enjoy your evening..
You're really scraping the bottom of the barrel for things to criticize.
I disagree with the way you categorised the post.
The proteins that construct said fiber are both from the spider and silkworm.
As a matter of fact, there is more silkworm DNA in the fiber, than actual that of any spider.
Feel free to prove otherwise.
More complete ignorance.
PRODUCTS
Our products exploit the unique characteristics of spider silk, specifically dragline silk from Nephila clavipes (golden orb-web spider) and variants thereof. Such fibers possess unique mechanical properties in terms of strength, resilience and flexibility. Through the use of genetic engineering, we have produced a variety of unique transgenic silkworm strains that produce recombinant spider silk.
Our recombinant spider silk fibers
incorporate the silk proteins found in spider silk with the native silkworm silk proteins.
This combination of native silkworm proteins combined with spider silk protein structures results in a new and unique recombinant silk fiber.

Stated i'm in your head previously.
Thanks for the clarification.
Dear Truism i miss you already
It was mentioned in the article.
Now prove that it was from an archived article.
You won't and can't, as it doesn't exist..
You states Kim stated they were competition. You also said once ge quit saying that you wouldn't be posting about them.
In your vast knowledge could you give the date Kim last mentioned them by name? Thank you.
KIM HAS STATED SPIBER IS A COMPETITOR...
GAUGING THE "PLAYING FIELD," WHILE KNOWING THEIR MOVEMENTS SPEAKS TO THE POTENTIAL LIONS SHARE OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COMPANY IN THIS PARTICULAR MARKET.
HENCE IT IS A NECESSARY TOOL TO HAVE.
ONCE KIM STATES THEY ARE NO LONGER COMPETITORS, THERE'S NO REASON TO POST CONCERNING THEM.
First..... I thought this site was for KBLB or would be off topic, but surely a mod would know that.
Next please show me which Brewed Protein can manufacuture at a profit. It's been tried and tried.
Face it we have arrived and the companies you tout haven't. As you used to say when thought to be in favor ......
