Good train of thought xsxs. I do think they are fine tuning and putting ducks in a row...crossing t's and dotting i's...go/no go checks.
Lebby will pull the trigger when time is right.
I'd guess that when a now 60 year old climatologist first entered their field, the projections they were making were for 2075...2091...2125...not 2028...2035...2040.
I spent the weekend on a mountain lake. Seemingly away from society. Yet every day, we used data. GPS, work laptops, internet, TV streaming, Google, Amazon, email. Everyone there used data. It's compounding daily, and a solution is critical or a halt will be called.
Power use must be reduced.
Heat must be reduced.
Speed must be increased.
Footprint needs to be clean.
Nice observation microchips.
When an intelligent “Doubting Thomas” believes, all should pay attention.
When that happens, I'm going to have a "I heart LWLG" shirt made for th6565.
Not me either, khaled_shatila...nice post. eom
Many are clamoring for PR's and deals and news, to arrest the slide...then news comes out and it's not, "We sold 10,000 units to XYZ company for $XXXXXXXX", so all of a sudden the PR discussion shifts to the verbiage "potential customers" being a problem. ML won't say customers, until he's allowed to say customers. This is probably self imposed.
How many of us fully understand the meaning of the info presented today?
Those that do have offered opinions about it and seem to be happy with the news. That's cool by me.
Do I wish the run up had continued and we were now at $72.37. Yes I do. Is it scary, when it retracts 50%? Yes it is. However, this PR was positive and seems to be part of the normal progression so I'm confident we're close.
Many here have endured years of what if's. Now we're in the best era we've ever been in and soon to get better.
Sorry, I got a call and should have waited to post with more of an explanation.
MNGT, (Lebby) has been methodical in releases. Wording, doesn't hype. It's commensurate with progress. If anything, it's conservative.
I think LWLG_Believer had an accurate opinion...."agreed and it sounds like they're crossing concerns off the list making sure everything is ready to go.. you have to do all the go/no go checks before you release". (he was agreeing with your prior post)
I too, believe they are doing their go/no go checks, not fixing problems. (after all, go/no go checks, got us to the Moon)
Any opinion otherwise, is pure impatience. We're near the go check. PPS does not matter. (Is anyone here for $8 a share or $17 a share? I'm not.)
I don't want any looking back, when it takes off. No retraction. (other than within comfortable levels most of us feel are obtainable)
I believe MNGT and Lebby feel they only want to take one shot at it and want to make sure all ducks are in a row. Let them take the time they need to do it. We'll be more than happy.
Yes, makes you feel like they are still trying to fix problems rather than ready for Mass Commercialization. Yes, I can absolutely be wrong. But that is what it feels like. Maybe also why the stock isn't acting like the news is a big deal.
LWLG_Believer

You are wrong. eom
walterC, a respected poster here, had an interesting post along those lines a while back. To the effect that he doesn't have to fully understand the science but does have a clear understanding and trust in MNGT and their vision. I believe he said he's done quite well with this approach with his investments.
I believe Dr. Lebby's vision and ambition for LWLG tech will surprise all of us, once it's fully known.
What's critical here is that once LWLG tech hits the marketplace...it shocks the industry. It answers all questions and leaves customers clamoring to place orders.
I agree, Pro_v12001...except have you considered that maybe it's actually been moving faster than we had hoped? It's never been done before so maybe ML and MNGT and techs are moving it along quicker than we could have imagined.
I like this part.
This is critical as we seek to make our technology ubiquitous throughout the marketplace.
(Lightwave tech found everywhere throughout the marketplace.)
FOUND EVERYWHERE!
You've been quiet JohnnyLightwave....Thanks for coming back with a rousing post!
(edit)It has always said NASDAQ as the exchange on IHUB "trades". Above the trades by the name, it says OTCQX
I like your thinking here and it's what I've been doing. Not interested in #3 even though it's an option.
Two months ago we didn't have 100's of thousands or millions on paper of LWLG. Soon it will be back and be much higher.
Nothing wrong with asking good faith questions. I only stated that I found it surprising. "Surprising". Not alarming. That a patent attorney, would ask seemingly higher level questions about the LWLG patent portfolio to a message board. I would think he would have the resources to find the answer himself and would be most qualified to do so. Kind of like a MD asking a hiking group how to set a broken leg.
As I said in my first post about this, many here know this guy so he's alright by me based on your opinions.
If you have issues with the way he was treated address the person that treated him that way.
Correct septmike09. Asking questions isn't the issue. My point was I would have thought someone with expertise in patent law would have his own resources/contacts to find the answers to his questions, rather than a message board. Looks like Marilyn77 misunderstood.
I don't know loophole, but a number of your do and that's good enough for me. Up to X if he wants to revisit his response to loophole.
Something that I believe is that no "new investor" is going to come here for info...mistakenly have his feathers ruffled and decide not to invest based on that. It's money. New investors want it and LWLG is a great place to get it. (the argument to play nice with "new investors" is old) Legit new investors, play nice of course. However, there are a lot of "new investors" that aren't investors. (not saying it applies in this case.) Board credibility usually dictates how you're treated.
loophole sounds like a guy that would have done extensive DD and if he has expertise in patent law I'm actually surprised he would ask a message board about it.
I don't think there is a missing piece. It's just that we want it today. The news in May and PPS increase is a culmination of many years. Much more will follow in coming weeks/months. Chill pill everyone, me included.
Going to enjoy my weekend. I'll let you know what I shoot.
Hip Hip Hooray, jeunke22! eom
Did someone say golf?? eom
I think general long term/short term tax liability questions and answers are helpful here, especially regarding situations that someone else has experience with.
I have both long term and short term gains with LWLG right now. (on paper)
Fast forward to $100 PPS. IF, I were to sell some...say for a house for example...I'd have to do the math and try not to exceed the 445k threshold for long term gains, so I could pay 15% instead of 20%, as I understand it. I may do it in two consecutive years to get what I need. Or I may say screw it and just pay the extra.
It IS actually a nice problem to have and my fin guy said as much. (I think they kind of make jokes about investors balking at paying taxes after realizing gains)
To each is own...Congrats LOVELWLG on your profit.
So an institution invested in June or July, and now has cold feet? I don't think this is likely. Can you explain your reasoning why this seems likely to you?
I'm not in this for a million dollars, th6565...I'm in this for multiples of that. Holding tight brothers!
Thanks crmar for passing along MZ's response.
Must be using an old eMachine with a broken shift key...eom
Taking recent price action as "games being played by those that want to buy in" is clearly a positive. I really believe that everyone, (and their mothers), want to buy into LWLG. (and they'd like to get in as cheaply as possible) Like I said before, don't nickel and dime it...if you want in, buy in at market...a few months from now $7.20 or $11 or $15.10 won't matter. It's like some that bought in at .85...does it really matter if the number was .85 or .79 or .95??????
I'm thinking the current PPS, whether increasing or decreasing right now, is inconsequential to the end game. Reasons and gaps are inconsequential. We've asked to be in this position for years. ML and company have brought us to the brink.
"will include his presentation on Lightwave's implementation of electro-optic polymer modular platforms into foundry PDKs (process development kits) for mass production with global foundries, to an audience of industry experts and other industry participants. In addition, Dr. Lebby will discuss the potential impact of the company's recently issued patents, and improvements and polymer stability and reliability which are expected to improve internet speeds and reduce power usage.
"We believe that our polymer-based silicon photonic modulators can double the speed of existing devices while using less power, which is revolutionary and could forever transform internet infrastructure," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "We are well positioned to scale and enable increased internet traffic, providing significant value to all internet stakeholders. I look forward to providing a technical update and continuing to position Lightwave as a clear thought leader in this space with one of the hottest topics at this tier-1 industry conference."
(edit) I understand your point yanquitrader, but that phrase association had to have been noticed by MZ and MNGT, prior to press release. It would have been scrubbed if it was an accident. I believe there's a high probability it was intentional.
(edit) As Big Old Baby says in a subsequent post...they would say something like "multiple foundries". "Global" was used for a reason.
(edit) "Easter Egg"? (global foundries) We previously discussed MNGT possibly timing the NASDAQ uplist to a certain event or PR. Wonder if this is what we were talking about?
I believe Airdale1 was talking about LWLG selling shares through shelf or LPC, not individual investors selling shares.
frobinso, I would guess that UMB Bank's due diligence, re: LWLG, was more extensive than most single investors here, so matching their investment shows you are positioned well. Someone pointed out that an institutional investor is not going to invest 2+ million without a healthy upside potential. (many here believe upside is 10x-100x from this point forward)
You should be well rewarded for your investment.
No vein...brutal, is having to read one word posts from emotional investors. You're up huge. Be thankful. Playing with house money might relax you.
He may have retired already this evening or be watching Tokyo Olympics but hopefully he'll get back to that question tomorrow.
th6565 must approve all bets. He's the resident bookie here.
This is what I think too. eom
jeunke22, I'd be careful what you wish for. No offense to you. (not sure the one you reference is here totally in good faith)
Are you friends with vein, fisher cat? eom
Yes th6565...but many of us purchased shares many YEARS ago. We've endured ups and downs...many naysayers...and many years of waiting. Current PPS is only a payback for that time. $10 to $1000 range is what we're hoping for. I am thankful I was able to raise my holdings by 35% in January of this year...now that was good/lucky timing.
I think it will be really cool to be involved with something as world changing as this.
Back on May 1, we'd all have 100% taken where we are right now.
During the spotlight of the run up, many new investors bought in. Institutional investors have also placed large bets...which is one thing we wanted...and we may be hearing about more soon. My assumption is that we're consolidating right now in this range/vol...awaiting what's next. Foundry news/NASDAQ news/other news, will precipitate the next run.
JohnnyLightWave....give us one of your positive thoughts!
