The insider buying discussion is a fascinating one. But I would venture that SGLB stock isn't the 'easy money sitting on a table' that you think it is.

There would only be two groups of potential insider knowledge buyers. Those in or near SGLB's administration, and the OEMs who have tested PR3D in the field. And I contend that the SGLB group is further away from direct knowledge than are the true inner-rings of the OEMs.

Everyone knows that the industrial OEMs leading the charge for AM, which decidedly number only a few companies, will effectively define the AM industry for some time to come. There will be winners, and there will be losers when the likes of GE, Honeywell, Rolls, Teledyne, et al, finally declare the equipment and software that they will begin production with. Yet it is the OEMs themselves who do not want any halt in the efforts of learning, creating and thinking in the AM space within the support role companies; even though some of these companies will be mortally damaged by the OEM choices. Therefore it will be the absolute very last minute before the OEMs will reveal the decisions that they have made.

As a result, I would guess that the number of people truly in the know about the 'easy money' stocks is very small indeed. At GE, I would bet that no more than six people have that information. The Engineers on the floor may know that PR3D works, but they certainly don't know that it will be chosen. That information would be a very closely held tidbit. I would bet that that is the same position that the SGLB administration is truly in. And further, for the SGLB admin to be openly buying at this time, would likely put them in legal jeopardy, even if they truly do not know what GE's actual decision is.

I can easily envision that there is communication out there, between the OEMs, to manage the launch of the AM industry, with at least broad stroke orchestration. As I said, there will be winners and losers.

The inner-ring insiders need not fret about buying after the fact. They have the knowledge and the horses to buy shortly after it all is made public. I expect that we will see no such movement prior to the defining acts by the OEMs. Then all hell will break loose.

All the best,
