I like the way you are thinking DollarGreenDollar! As I am 100% long in my retirement index of small/midcaps. And they are super easy to push higher compared to large caps/mega tech stocks as the rotation continues that direction. Bring it on BoyZ and algos!
bending in the beginning (early deals) red is showing you are "easy" or "weak". That is a very poor position to play with the big dogs.
you are sounding impatient like vein. Or maybe it is your 2024 call options nearing expiration that you are hoping to see Lightwave bend on?
Xena has an interesting lwlg trading volume post comparing this morning to yesterday morning in red color; volume was strong yesterday but today it is low this morning and price has backed off initial morning up. My hunch/guess is the BoyZ are keeping it from breaking out over the 200 dma so that it doesn't trigger an TA alert and higher price buying, as they want to keep accumulating in the sub-200dma range.

fyi here is LWLG chart site on TA and trading that Xena recently created. Maybe a moderator can create a sticky for it. Thx Xena!

Thx! Sure looks like AI is working hard.
Amen Mike. You post rarely, but when you post your words are very articulate, informed and appreciated by others that are long timer longs, as well as more recent 2-3 years like myself.
Thank you Marco so much. Appreciate your thoughts.
My father was a successful and high level VC at Merrill Lynch back in the 80s when VC was still a very tough business and money wasn't running rampant, and investments had to be very carefully scrubbed (competition, management quality, patents, etc). He worked in NYC, but traveled to silicon valley often. Had a few decent early chip company investments too.
His firm did put the first seed money into Regeneron Pharma (REGN) biotech when it was private around 1988. His junior partner George Sing (who he brought over to ML when he left Exxon Enterprises VC) meet with the CEO (Schleiffer) at a restaurant for the discussion and Schleiffer showed him his business plan on a napkin (see link below!). Took almost 20 years and various board enhancements (Roy Vagelos, former CEO of Merck became their Chair of REGN Board) to steer them the right directions into the 2000's. Now $848 dollars and 93B market cap since really the ramp up in 2010 period! Making the American Dream possible through well managed VC teams!

Dr. Lebby has the same quadlity of board members, advisory committee, and experience to lead them to a great future. I do hope Dr. Lebby finds a replacement for the Chairman position in due time, as a strong Chairman can provide experience and relationships for increasing access to deals, partnerships and growth while Dr. Lebby and company work on the execution. It is going to be very exciting, and I hope my father gets to witness the launch off the pad into multibillion market cap land! The American Dream is alive and kicking! And Euro-dream too, for those investing in innovation here, in Europe or anywhere!
My point was that I will benefit from these overleverage positions needing to cover their imbalances.
I'm not going to get wiped out unless the US dollar gets wiped out.
Maybe then I might consider bitcoin. LOL
Meanwhile, any short/putting Hogs may end up getting slaughtered before we get to February.
Lewrock, I am unfortunately scheduled to be on the Big Island doing some vaca in late May 2024 w/ family.
I blame my wife for this timing (she's very persistent....lol), but I will certainly go to a future east coast Delaware event if held just after ASM for 2024.
I will make sure to come back in 2025. Lightwave will be epic by then in ramping up commercialization with additional
verticals starting!
PS: to Steve in Alaska (Coldsuite ?) if you still follow this thread........my father is still closely following Ligthwave and pending commercial sales/stock price launch as he hangs in there approaching 90. He's growing a little impatient too on the stock price launch, but at his age I can completely understand his feeling. 🚀🚀🛰️🛰️
MrLWLG101, I'm too old to invite TP to my wonderful Christmas table, even though I am a generous person.
Plus, my wife would probably kill me, and I'm not ready for that next phase just yet!
I will provide TP a link for his personal reference so that he doesn't totally looks his bowels into his new Xmas shorts!
Any release of solid deal news by Dr. Lebby in the current environment and powerful Russell 2000 rally will send up over
$10 dollars in my opinion. Shorters' beware!
The Meltup Becomes Self-Reinforcing As Gamma Flips And All Hell Breaks Loose In Derivatives

Usually when markets break out from a given range, there are various market speed brakes - usually in the realm of derivatives - which act as a natural decelerator to any rapid move either higher or lower. Dealer gamma is one such buffer, as it is traditionally positive around prevailing levels or "big large numbers" (where it provides what is known as "gamma gravity"), and forces dealers to step into the direction of aggressive order flow so as to avoid major losses.

Information is power. And knowing when to exit with huge long gains benefits from information pays off too.

I saw the very interesting and Yahoo finance highlighted Lightmatter news highlighted. It only further validates the speed at which photonics is growing as the new enterprise solution for AI performance, data transmission, energy savings, and vertical applications. Lightwave Logic though just happens to be the first one with disruptive EO polymers that will capture a lions share of revenues in the 800G and 1.6T transceivers market for telecom and data centers. Dr. Lebby is a leading professional organizing the Photonics Ecosystem. He thinks/leads globally, and also acts locally (LWLG). BOOM!

Don't worry, I remember Jan 2022 well and minimized losses accordingly to 8% that year.
I'm now up over 15% from the S&P500 2021 peak in my retirement account and beating all the benchmarks handily.
For interesting reading, consider the late Martin Zweig, renowned for his "eccentric and lavish lifestyle" as well as having had the most expensive residence in the United States at the time, atop The Pierre on 5th Avenue, and long time friend of Louis Rukeyser said, "Don't Fight the Tape!"
Welcome back Xena!
Great use of Charlie Brown during the holiday season to make a spot on point about the crying wolf!
Rkf, congrats on your great call a few days ago for LWLG to trade in the $5.50 to 6 range by Friday!! Now trading at $5.51
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=173422674
PS: Your total posts count is now 4111, and that is a prime number which is good luck
in my books (discovered its value from my wife ~31 years ago; married on prime number,
home address is a price number, etc.). Sit on 4111 for a little while and enjoy the glow!
Maybe someone from the ROTH conference liked what Dr. Lebby said yesterday??
He is also there today as well. Good tidings.
I think you need some oxygen, as your thinking has become seriously impaired on Dr. Lebby's active plans.
cool. looks like someone also just grabbed that 5k on the ask at $5.30
Proto, wow! Thanks so much for your great explanation on the characteristics of "The Funnel"
and how important this information on customer progression.
Great post L_R of the PDKs and Foundry projections. I count 19. Red said there was 12 prospects. Maybe he was looking at the 2022 presentation.....lol
I agree. His other posts on different boards have fallen on deaf ears. So ignore is the correct strategy!
https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/profile.aspx?user=81790
I agree wholeheartedly Rkf on your forecast.
Dr. Lebby's letter was primed with imminent deals occurring as early as this month,
as well as into early 2024 and beyond. The market is forward looking, and after the next deal, the market will have much higher confidence that this company's proprietary material/patents/foundry partners are ready "to roll" and produce revenues. Dr. Lebby's one on ones out in Park City, UT ROTH MKM Deer Valley Conference tomorrow and Friday should yield some more activity and interest in continuing to build or starting a new Lightwave Logic position in the weeks ahead.
Additionally, small cap stocks are undergoing a hot rally breakout in the past month, and up 3.5% today. Fed interest rates are going to start coming down in 2024 (likely three 0.25% rate cuts) and small caps are the strongest sector performance-wise coming out of a US rate hike cycle once cuts start and inflation drops.
Danny ala Turdster M51, I've earned my drinks and wealth, along with investment knowledge and weight in Lightwave.
You have just earned an award for producing a plethora of Turd posts on Ihub's LWLG board.
Capiche?!
DanM51 gets the Turd meme award win for numbers of turd posts on December 12, 2023.
I imagine he has won many more days for his posts on Ihub lwlg board as before, but I'm documenting just one for now. hee, hee.
BURU tanked 50% since your call. You remind me of Cramer's picks.
Go opposite and you'll be up over 50% annually. Now that is a sweet dilly bar!

Warning. Stay away from this klown. All his calls have gone south of the border. ouchy. example below. $4. Nope, now 77 cents. dilution city.

Broadcom, C3.ai CEOs See Generative AI Demand Accelerating
(from my Barron's daily emails. continues to support Dr. Lebby's business
opportunities and direction! Right Leader, right technology, right timing. Boom!)
Broadcom met revenue expectations in the fourth quarter, and full year results were up 8%. CEO Hock Tan said the gains were driven by investments in accelerators and network connectivity for artificial intelligence. It expects the semiconductors business to sustain a mid- to high-single digit revenue growth rate in 2024.
Adjusted fourth quarter earnings of $11.06 a share topped Wall Street’s expectations. Revenue came in at $9.3 billion, up 4% from one year ago. Its semiconductor-solutions segment had revenue of $7.3 billion, and infrastructure software revenue was $2 billion.
On a call with analysts, CEO Tan said generative AI-related demand is accelerating. The contribution of the recently acquired VMware is expected to result in 2024 revenue of $50 billion, and adjusted earnings of $30 billion before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
The CEO of C3.ai, which makes AI software for businesses, told Barron’s in an interview that the opportunity in generative AI is “staggering,” explaining why the firm is spending a chunk of its $800 million in cash to capture more market share.
Tom Siebel, the CEO, told Barron’s the company plans to launch a brand campaign, add staff, build more applications, and fine-tune more models. He says that the emergence over the past year of generative AI has effectively doubled the company’s market opportunity.
What’s Next: For the January quarter, C3.ai projects revenue of between $74 million and $78 million, with an adjusted operating loss of between $40 million and $46 million. Analysts had expected revenue of $77.7 million, and an adjusted operating loss of $21.1 million.

Actually the jobs numbers showed an initial head fake, but the small caps were more encouraged by the good news not being bad news over time.
IWM up 1.15% while S&P500 up just 0.36% I heard Goldman Sachs said that there was still a large short position on IWM and this could pressure this index up higher as they cover.
Thanks KCC. Good information to know, and that it was Zyskind that made that comment about few ounces of wine volume could make 10k modulators.
Also nice to hear that their material is very stable in terms of shelf life (even when exposed open air), and that it can be stored in various secure sites for use by customers when needed.
While it doesn't take long to synthesize, I know it takes a butt load of work to create new versions of Perk from I to now VI (6). Looking forward to the unfolding future by Lightwave Logic, as well as Dr. Lebby's leadership across the photonic ecosystem to.
Hah then, when I (LH) stole that cow, I heard you were making it with the cow. 🤣
KCC, I noticed that question you asked for Benzinga on whether Lightwave could source enough material for 10k modulators.
Of course, Dr. Lebby said sure we can take care of that from our existing plant.
As you first said maybe after the 2021 ASM, one of the Directors said when asked about how much polymer material is needed, that what is in your glass of wine can probably produce 10,000 modulators.
Were you just seeing how Dr. Lebby would answer such a question "live"? To show there isn't any source issues for the first orders (2024)? I imagine they can already make gallons of the stuff and enough for a number of millions of modulators if needed.
What I am curious about is whether they can produce the material (dry) in a way to seal it safely in some small containers (a powder) and store it at a number of secure off-site places for future orders. That way it would provide redundancy security for the chip makers and Tier-1s who want the final product. This is business 101 (risk management; product security). thanks
Wait, I thought Scope08 was Lee Harvey?
Who's on First? (Abbott and Costello). You 🤡
