“Any speculation on Lightwave applying for funding via the U.S. CHIPS program?”
I ask Lebby about Chips funding after the share holder meeting had concluded. He didn’t seem interested in pursuing any funding from them. Didn’t think it suited LWLG and was meant for others.
Well at least I can read. That newsletter said nothing about GSS having climate control. They were shut down though. They also mentioned something about climate variances at GSS. smh
Robustness has been a problem for all silkworm breeders trying to grow silkworms where it is too hot. As far a I know GSS is in Ho Chi Minh where the problem is too much heat, not the cold season. This 2007article shows that India has been trying to address this issue by breeding Heat Shock Proteins into silkworms. You'd think that KBLB could just insert those genes in while they're putting their DS genes in but evidently nobody has figured out exactly which ones to insert yet.
So now they are just trying to breed heat tolerance into the worms. Seems like it would be a whole lot simpler just to install an air conditioner.
“and trying to falsify the company's facts that were pr'ed.”
The company does a pretty good job of that all on their own if one cared not to have such selective memory.
“it's not framed correctly as its basis can be easily proven wrong by reviewing past dialogue”
Well prove me wrong then. Kumbaya
The icing on the cake was the CEO selling millions of his own shares at the same time this dilution was going on. I’m sure that really helped the share price. smh
“Here is THE most important lines which bashers tend to overlook and "somehow" forget”
The ‘bashers’ haven’t overlooked anything. How is that statement any different than any other statement the company has made, like immunity worm testing, where nothing ever happens, with no follow up whatsoever? Believe me it won’t be forgotten by Webslinger a year from now when/if nothing comes out of this either.
Oh, that’s right, it will then be the ‘bashers’ fault when the price drops another 75% because the company hasn’t followed thru and they are reminding you of that also. smh
“You have something to prove KBLB doesn’t actually exist?”
So you have actually seen the production fairy? Do tell.
“And, just to be clear, you are concerned about the number of posters here who are quick to attack and denigrate, correct? “
Nope. I was just replying to one poster. I guess you missed the 24/7 remark. But if the shoe fits…….
I will treat others as they treat me, so if you want some respect you better show some yourself.
I’m not the one that spends 24/7 waiting for someone on a message board to say something that I disagree with so that I can denigrate them. Pretty sad existence you have there.
“Comparing KBLB to the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus while choosing to remain invested is the bigger question for me.”
Just as I thought. You have nothing to prove it exists so just tell the teenager they’re f’ed up for not believing you. No wonder so many kids run away from home. Thanks for proving my point.
“and the fact that we are expecting news at any time”
I guess you must have missed it. No news is expected until at least the first quarter of next year, and that’s ardent supporters claiming this.
“Why is it okay to constantly post about past challenges and golden poop but anyone who looks FORWARD and sees potential just doesn’t get it?”
It has something to do with convincing your teenage children that Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, and the Easter bunny really do exist after they have seen you putting their gifts under the tree while eating the cookies and milk they left Santa, saw you putting that quarter under their pillow while taking the tooth they left for the tooth fairy, and watching you fill and hide their Easter baskets while claiming the Easter bunny did it. Good luck with that.
Just saying trust me ain’t going to cut it anymore. Show some concrete proof or GTFO.
So how long has it been since Dorn figured out how to make a yarn with DS? Have they even bothered to see if it works in a fabric yet?
Don’t know what cave you live in but the world wasn’t shut down for 2 years. Things have changed, but people adapted and the world moved on……..except KBLB.
“but im pretty sure bitchin and moaning aint the answer...”
That’s true. Funny thing is, half the b&m is coming from the rah rah crowd. They just don’t realize it.
I like what you did there. :)
“people posting positive things about a stock and company they are invested in and hope to succeed with is a bad thing?”
I don’t see anybody posting anything positive about the company that is real and actually provable. Only excuse after excuse like “Oh, it takes time to do that”. Bashing the bashers constantly isn’t providing anything useful to the discussion.
You truly are clueless, aren’t you?
Would be nice if all these posters calling Ben would ask about what the company is doing and where the January worms went to instead of about some poster on IHub. When I called him, several months ago, I would swear he was already on his third brownie of the day. Wasn’t making much sense.
I don’t know how anybody can think that if they couldn’t get some kind of production going with a single line or the first hybrid that somehow they are going to manage to make a double hybrid system work. That’s six lines of worms to juggle to get to your final production worms. I mean, if they were dumb enough to send the two lines of worms for the first hybrid to GSS, how do you expect them to coordinate six lines? I doubt GSS even has a setup for breeding moths. All KBLB needs GSS to do is grow out worms from eggs to the cocoon stage, no breeding involved.
So do you have a timeline or definition of this commercialization? When are you expecting this to happen? What do you define as Commercialization? What happened to the hybrid lines that were sent to Vietnam in January?
Makes sense to me from the sellers side, looks like a good deal. Don’t know what the buyer is thinking though. Is he thinking the price is going to go significantly below $6.00? It’s the only way I see him making anything on this.
The shoe has nothing to do with KBLB or SpydaSilk. Here is what was connected to KBLB on that link;

Looks like they are planning on making burlap sack replacements or maybe it’s just a close up picture of the shoot packs they said they sent the Army. smh
“cost to borrow just dropped to 10% per year. “
Fintel shows the CTB is going up and shares available dropping. Where are you getting your info?
Must have gone to junk mail. Search for ‘lending shares’.
You’ve got mail.
“TD tells you daily what they are charging”
E*trade tells the rate they are paying the borrower on the statement so if you aren’t paying attention you wouldn’t know that you’re getting half as much from TD.
“The conversation was about the how the cost of doing business for a short has increased, somehow it got changes to longs loaning out shares.”
Well you don’t have one without the other. The shorts are going to find shares whether you decide to loan them out or not. Schwab must charge the shorts more than what TDA did. TDA had to have been well under 1%. My account hasn’t been swapped yet.
“X the broker/dealers take the lions share.”
Different brokers charge/pay different rates. When you agree to lend your shares out they agree to give you a certain percentage of what they charge the borrower. Typically 50/50 minus whatever fees they may have. It definitely pays to shop around to find the best rates. With E*Trade I know exactly what I have lent out at what rate and I’m updated daily. With TDA I never had a clue what was happening until the end of the month and some feeble interest payment showed up on my statement. The difference was hundreds of dollars a month. No wonder they offered me cash to stay when I transferred my shares to a different broker.
I suggest you move your stock to another broker if you want to lend it out. TDA pays pathetic compared to E*Trade. Interactive Brokers appears to be a better option along with E*Trade. I think Fintel gets their borrow rate from IB.
“Where are they coming from as there was only 550K available to borrow.”
Fintel only gets the short shares available from one large brokerage, it’s not the total number available to short. Interactive Brokers appears to be their source. IB also appears to get better rates for those lending their shares out than most brokerages. TDA is lousy at that. E*trade does a good job for share lenders.
At close of trading every third Friday of the month. Google would have given you a lot faster answer.
“Evidently the parent strains for their first hybrid silk sent to GSS in January weren’t viable.”
The parent strains were never sent to GSS. Who in their right mind would try to multiply new parent lines in an uncontrolled environment with no quality control ability? It’s not like GSS is just a couple miles down the road from Prodigy. Call the company if you don’t believe me.
Think or Swim has Level II if that’s what you want to know. I like it as a platform but I can’t say I have tried other platforms to compare. Looks good on a 48” monitor.
“SOM is the minimum expectation of LWLG management.”
Looks like goals to me. I thought I heard here they didn’t have those anymore. Anyway, the SOM and SAM figures, I’m sure, were based off of the TAM figures provided by the third party.
“with Dr Lebby's own projection of 7,900 units in 2024 and 78,000 units in 2025?”
Those projections were made by a third party, not Dr Lebby. They could be way off depending on how fast Perkamine is accepted/needed by the market.
I was there. My kids always complained because the teacher never called on them when they raised their hand. GP was always the teachers pet.
“I have generally been a large buyer of IDCC calls in the past.”
I’m not smart enough to figure out how to make consistent money by buying options. Selling them seems to make more sense to me.
OK, I’ll be the teacher. GP, what’s the answer? lol
