Amen! I've run out of other stocks to be able to sell...but very confident that the BIG rewards are in the offing!
That is my fear. Alas, it's hard to pick the bottom...especially when the macro market has been screwed up with total ineptitude in power...
I just wonder if Lebby buying shares would also perhaps suggest that other significant news is NOT in the immediate offing. If they were to "surprise" with partnership announcement (perhaps even an announcement that they do not entirely control unilaterally)...would it bring additional scrutiny? Not saying that's the case...I do not know....but raising only for purpose of discussion. I go back and forth with respect to supporting the same wish for Lebby to buy more and not buy more right now.
Really not much to do except keep buying more shares. I continue to chip away to get more...even though I have no business doing so. That said, we KNOW the price appreciation is coming in a big way between now and end of year...and hopefully, sooner vs. later.
True dat!
If I were a betting man, I would place the number of foundries announced at over/under of 4 by end of 2022. Dr. Lebby said they are a conservative company and I expect the forecast is too.
I love the job Dr. Lebby did in going through the slides efficiently and effectively at speed. Still had time to take questions. His presentation and answers were a great reinforcement of what he presented at shareholder meeting.
Good thought! That would be sweet! eom
Thanks for the air cover! eom.
Not sure I get the analogy...but now I can't get Joni Mitchell's voice out of my head!
Thanks for the input. Personally, I like the idea of LWLG demonstrating their willingness to at least contemplate different actions to combat what is commonly viewed to be short term negative manipulation of the share price.
Some outside perspective on share buybacks FWIW....
https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/042015/why-would-company-buyback-its-own-shares.asp
yes we can agree to disagree. I will say that many, many large and respected companies actually choose to buy back their own shares. I assume I do not have to provide a list.
One person's "speculating" is another person's "demonstration of confidence" that the company is being severely undervalued...and warrants the investment as fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to look out for their interests. You don't think lowering the outstanding share count would be recognized as having been an outstanding investment say 12 months from now?
explanation why?
At what point can/does the company actually borrow $ to buy back shares?
I would also LOVE to see a partnership announcement prior to end of Q2...on the other hand, it might call into question LWLG's credibility as to producing the most accurate forecasts and shareholder updates. They already said 2nd half 2022...and apparently putting in print the same today. With all the activity they have with foundries, etc. though, perhaps we get other positive indications of what's to come from other sources even prior to end of Q2.
Agree. Well done. If instead you start responding to individual "points" in the article, the losers win.
C'mon Reddit crowd...do your thing!
Selling other stocks to create powder!...
Will be interesting to see if Dr. Lebby makes any statements during tomorrow's presentation to weaken short argument even further. I wouldn't necessarily expect any direct reference to the FUD being spread by manipulators...but any public presentation (not to mention PR) should be enough to make the shorts shake in their boots.
Yes, I think others have mentioned. My hypothesis is that since GFS has been careful to not mention LWLG in their press releases (due to NDA in place), LWLG is simply being extra careful to observe same in what is likely a mutual NDA. (even though simply listing them as a potential foundry partner is likely not a violation of NDA anyway). Just my speculation.
2 more friends bought more yesterday. This has been de-risked.
I second that motion for sure! eom.
Goes on with every stock on every message board...especially prevalent when you have ~ 18Million shares short...aka some have a vested interest in seeing the stock price go down.
But then, Fotonix 1.0 waits until it's done right, WITH LWLG polymer, hopefully then...as opposed to simply leaving out LWLG polymer out of Fotonix 1.0....
I realize you are just speculating, but it would be a bit surprising to me that GF would not be one of the foundries to be included in the 2H 2022 category...after the joint interview with Lebby and GF lead, etc. Wonder if GF is the foundry where they perhaps had some implementation issues that were alluded to?
Enjoyed that!
Fully agree and I could not be happier. I love that he leaves open the prospect that the "shoe could drop" at virtually any time in terms of formal announcement(s)....and further (I believe for the first time) even suggested that LWLG could decide to make some announcements on their own if they so chose to do so...but only as prudent in terms of what makes sense for both their partners and LWLG. He's in this for the long run and doing it the proper way...and not kowtowing to the pressure to simply relieve the near term angst of some investors to need more.
Amen! eom
Great...man (or woman) of action. Thanks!
oh no!...sound quality terrible!
Would folks expect them to stop doing investor conferences after they announce their first "deal"? I think not. On the other hand, would some here interpret as "trouble or delay" if they waited just a few days before their June 7th presentation to announce their participation in the conference?...perhaps. All seems to be business as usual to me.
FWIW I agree with your hypothesis.
That was a colorful and well appreciated post. Right there with you. All will be good in the end.
The thing is many folks have a different perspective of where the "roof" is.
It seems improbable to me that Dr. Lebby and company would have been working with all of these partners for so many months (years) without crafting expectations for pricing/business structure. This applies to both sides of the equation.
It's OK to have doubt. If this was an absolute no-doubter, it probably could not be "manipulated" down to $8 PPS at the current moment. IMO, for now, it's about the degree of doubt and timing of when the doubt will be absolutely removed.
Seems like a logical hypothesis. Forgive my ignorance but is the diamondoid addition already included an already-submitted patent application?
I go with the rationale that joint GFS/LWLG announcement warrants a press release of its very own...likely either same time as PDK availability release or within days of it. The GFS, Cisco, etc. PR of last week is a big headline of its own for photonics relevance and a nod to synergistic partnering. But PRs that build on each other become even more powerful. I also believe that given the length of time GFS, LWLG and other partners have been working together (combined with the "bread crumbs" dropped over the past many months) that LWLG technology HAS TO BE in PDK 1. With the differentiation that LWLG is providing, how could it even be left out (aka, would you want an otherwise "soon to be dated" product without it?).
Didn't we already have the timeline from the GFS press release on Monday?...that is, assuming that LWLG is part of first PDK. See below line from the PR:
"GF Fotonix solutions will be manufactured at the company’s advanced manufacturing facility in Malta, N.Y., with the PDK 1.0 available in April 2022."
