Let's hope that the "GP" in Chat GPT is nobody we know - same thing goes for the "T" - or it could turn on us! Wonder if it has any ideas about subverting the meaning of "critical thinking"?
Where to even start?
First, I'd tell them about the bonuses first so I wasn't wasting any more breath than I do with my posts.
Second - Man I wish I knew what "average reasonable people" were thinking. I bet even Karnac couldn't reliably pull that off.
Third - Why is it that average reasonable people think "This sounds GREAT so far but I'M skeptical. I bet the next thing out of his mouth is gonna be something about massive bonuses that's gonna turn me completely off"?
Fourth - That thing that smells bad isn't LWLG.
Fifth - So greedy people should be thought of as insincere. Well, that certainly hits close to the homes of "some".
And finally -The reason the biggest cons are ignored should be pretty obvious.
The point is that I gave them the most important highlights - the market opportunity, the claimed technical superiority with some impressive results, the credentials, the developmental stage, the mystery of the Holy Grail claims...but the moment I mention the bonuses they lost interest. The average reasonable person simply is thinking 'this sounds great so far' but a bit skeptical of course too, but when they hear of the bonuses they lose interest because it smells bad to them. They would much rather see a company that doesn't seem greedy as evidence of their sincerity.
Re balance - I don't recall you responding to my post about your pros and cons. I felt you dramatically underplayed the cons side by minimizing or ignoring all together the biggest ones.
Theodore, it's not very different from "receiving" an email about a topic that two experts might have differing opinions on and picking a side not because one knows something about it, but because it aligns with views that are shaped by the value of one's options holdings.
If anyone needed to read "the 23 points" it wouldn't have lost it's place as a "sticky", with what, 3 likes? That's all the validation I need to see to know that all 23 "points" are complete BS. "Most here" agree.
"WE" haven't seen it - "we" got hearsay. "Many" of us (most perhaps) believe it's BS and will continue to believe it's BS because no proof will ever be forthcoming, now and forever.
Of course there's always the currently popular tactic of saying something is proven so many times that it becomes urban legend, but it still won't be true.
2. The stark difference of opinion between implied (but no longer stated in clear terms) timeliness to production by the company and the 2026 'at the earliest' (either initial or high volume production) - and only if reliability is proven - by an industry heavyweight - the FIRST industry insider opinion we've seen in recent years.
What BS?, no link = not true.
Since there is no evidence or links or proof or anyone claiming to be a "MsNelson, POS" I and "most others on the board and elsewhere" must conclude that she does not, in fact, exist, and therefore must be an imaginary figure. So how will this fiction affect the price of
LWLG stock or options? Need I mention we'll wait?
Looks like POS MsNelson shorted more last week with high short volume
We can easily guess several people who won't be there even though they claim to want information that they must assume will come from the ether.
The turnout at the Annual Shareholder Meeting is expected to sellout the Hilton. Book your room early!
KUDOS! Squirming! Thinking critically! Wondering! Watching for the next positive post so that it can be "couterbalanced".
Well, Ted, it's like this. It only takes nerve if you don't have 100% confidence in what you're saying. "POSSIBLY conviction" - I think if you asked Lebby (try that) he'd tell you the words "reliability concerns are not going to be an issue" indicate that he's got conviction and "WE will find out" applies to who? Not me.
Would he say that if he wasn't 100% certain? - don't think so, but Saddam didn't have nukes so what's the point of wondering? Just take a side and shutting up would be nice and "we will find out" if THAT happens.
3) standing up at OFC and telling everyone in the room that reliability concerns are not going to be an issue
He put his reputation on the line when he did this. That takes a lot of nerve and possibly conviction. Would he do that if he wasn't 100% certain? We will find out.
Unusual pre-market interest in IDCC this morning on someone's part. Just 16K shares but that seldom happens.
Lightwave Logic Announces Breakthrough Performance Results for Commercial-Class Electro-Optic Polymer
PR Newswire
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 22, 2023
1310nm Wavelength, Popular in Hyperscale Datacenter Applications, Represents the Primary Area of Focus
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., March 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ: LWLG), a technology platform company leveraging its proprietary electro-optic (EO) polymers to transmit data at higher speeds with less power, today announced that its latest commercial-class EO polymer material has achieved breakthrough performance metrics at 1310 nanometers (nm), a wavelength popular in hyperscale datacenter applications.
Lightwave Logic, Inc. Logo (PRNewsfoto/Lightwave Logic, Inc.)
These commercial-class improvements include a significantly higher electro-optic coefficient exceeding 200 pm/V, which allows for very low drive power of 1 volt or less. Other characteristics include optimized chromophore loading, superior low optical loss, excellent temporal stability at 85 Celsius, and extremely high thermal and photo stability. The breakthrough commercial-class EO material is expected to enable ultra-small footprint modulators with at least 100 GHz bandwidth as well as meeting all critical requirements for pluggable transceivers, on-board optics and co-packaging solutions.
"The achievement of these results at the 1310nm bandwidth positions us for potential near-term licensing opportunities in datacenter applications," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "Our robust progress with our proprietary chromophores will allow us to provide competitive performance above and beyond other optical modulator competitors in use today. At a recent industry conference, we heard from the hyperscale industry that polymers offer important performance advantages as compared to other optical modulators in use today – reflective of our significant progress with our proprietary chromophores.
"As we move through 2023, our technology is well positioned to serve as the industry's next-generation super-high-performance engine that enables high speed, low power and small footprints for pluggable transceivers, on-board optics and co-packaging solutions in datacenter applications and beyond. I look forward to providing our shareholders with further updates in the near-term as we move to commercialization," concluded Lebby.

Just put in an order to buy 500 @ 4.34 - let's see what happens
Spam? How many times do I need - oh, never mind, no one who matters is paying attention.
McFish - we have to talk about last years bonuses because this years bonuses didn't appear as "some" hoped. So "some" had to change course slightly.
It seems that "some" here think that Anthony Yu says something and the issue is settled, but Jim Marcelli says something and he is not to be believed. That same "some" has never met either man and only has message board posts to base a judgement on.
That is, unless "some" is relying on a coin toss or an agenda to help make judgement calls.
Funny, "everyone" means everyone, but 250 people means four people. Very funny. Almost fishy.
I'm dreaming of $4. Been waiting a pretty, pretty, pretty long time.
And a special dividend would be nice. Buh-bye shorts, lower litigation costs going forward, WOOHOO!
If my intuition is correct it could be ebola.
EDIT - I see you're already aware of this

Yes, he apparently did want to update that for you as he felt that his statement was misinterpreted, but is locked into one post per day limbo.
Loop, Reddit is temporarily offline - KCCO stated that in this case proto did not exaggerate and that Lebby did indeed silence the room.
Loop, KCCO responded to you on Reddit/LWLG. It appears that proto had that particular bit of hype correct.
I would have to go back and find your summation of what Andy said at the conference
Zdog, speaking of advice, Walterc learned a great word today - one that's really underused (but I bet the folks who took the advice to sell at .60 know it well)
UPDATE: Hey, Ted, promising it what way? Which papers are you referring to? What did you see in them that appealed to you? Reply seems VAGUE.
I've missed your analysis of several (all) of the technical white papers regarding EO polymers. Is that because they contain no facts or are they beyond comprehension and hence don't count? Would appreciate some clarification.
[i let the facts guide me/quote]
Very vague.
What I find interesting is the number of reinforcements that are called upon to weigh in when plain old honest and balanced mud-slinging doesn't have the desired effect on the stock price.
Pochemunyet provided all the information you need. It's up to you to read it and try to understand it.
You said
Kind of look bias to me.
Can you provide link?
Thanks
Except you can. By having NDAs one day and issuing joint PRs the next. Pretty simple.
Doubt it.
Lewrock, I am also restricted to one post a day and I'm using it to say WELL SAID!
Shorts who have gone back to hiding under their respective rocks please feel free to come out and disagree.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Company Highlights:

Management Commentary
"The fourth quarter of 2022 saw the achievement of world-class performance with our partners and further expansion of our intellectual property moat with acquired polymer technology and IP assets, as well as three additional new patents," said Dr. Michael Lebby, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Lightwave Logic. "Entering into 2023 we expect to continue our forward momentum as we review near-term business opportunities in both licensing the use of our polymer materials as well as more deeply engage with our partners for technology transfer.
"During the fourth quarter we provided a world-class figure of merit performance for modulators using electro-optical polymers and a plasmonic device design in conjunction with Polariton Technologies. Building from the world record performance and demonstration of a 250 GHz super high bandwidth electro-optical-electrical (EOE) link that was presented at ECOC through a collaboration with ETH Zurich, these latest figure of merit results show the potential for extreme power savings for optical network equipment and demonstrate clearly that polymer-based technology platforms are positioned well for general implementation. These results position us extremely well for next generation ultra-high-capacity interconnects for the hyper-scale market.
"We continued to see strong validation of our intellectual property (IP) in the fourth quarter with three new patent issuances to strengthen our portfolio. We secured a patent for a novel fabrication process to advance high-volume foundry potential, a second to simplify fabrication of polymer modulators designed to integrate with silicon photonics and a third to simplify modulator integration and reliability for high-volume foundry manufacturing operations. This expansion of our IP moat, paired with our acquisition of the mission-critical IP assets of Chromosol Ltd (UK) to strengthen foundry PDK design capabilities with extremely low temperature ALD Processes, is a part of our ability to advance initial production trials with our foundry partners and secure our first licensing agreements in the near-term.
"The industry's interest in polymer technology continues to rapidly grow, and our ability to evangelize the benefits of polymers at leading industry events globally has been an important part of our awareness efforts. As we continue to build thought leadership, clear technology leadership and progress towards our first licensing agreements, I firmly believe that we are well positioned to create sustainable value for our shareholders over the long-term," concluded Dr. Lebby.

Of course, briefing.com is spinning this as a miss by .02 compared to Capital IQ Consensus expectations. I suppose the "IQ" is capitalized to make it seem smarter than it is.
They also decided that earnings for the next quarter have been guided "lower" without realizing that Sammy is still out there.
And I wasn't paying attention to the Wednesday earnings release - that's a new one.
No wonder they want our shares back! Let's roll, baby! I've changed my mind about selling a few at $80, by the way.
Somehow even losing attorneys win.
It's time for Interdigital to make it clear that isn't happening anymore starting right now.
They must know Interdigital always caves some on the past sales.
More happy news!
Ditto
You can bet BOA loaded up right about the time he came out with that.
That might shake loose a share or two - I’m still waiting for $80 and they can have just a few of mine. A few.
It's been a long road - glad we're still on it!
