No, Dude, I'm a profesional musician and teacher of over 40 years, but I do have some other skills and attributes, which, being as objective about myself as possible have to do with troubleshooting, and research and learning is one of my favorite things to do. I've always been involved in semi or professional 'other' vocations as well, but they all seem to be related to 'troubleshooting', researching, and working out problems, and quite often for nothing in order to help others, as I've found that a great way to learn something is to help others and troubleshoot for them, and in that way one gains a lot of experience up front. Years ago I learned how to troubleshoot computers, build them, outfit business, upgrade, design, and build websites when I didn't even like machinery or computers, but I found I had a knack, and could get a dead computer up and running in minutes. I'm still a musician, but I do computer work for friends and people privately who have business. I also came from a family of artists and musicians, worked for galleries and museums, have won major prizes and grants, built and ran my own gallery for 6 years, and have done appraising of fine violin family instruments for people mostly my students, some of whom were super wealthy insider real estate moguls, so I had to study furniture refinishing to be able to evaluate varnishes and construction on antique violins worth up to $300,000 dollars. I loved Entomology as a teen and raised Chinese Silkworms in Brooklyn for sale, which is what attracted me to Kraigs company and Spider Silk, or as Buffett advises, invest in what you understand. I mainly understand nature, science, ecology, etc, and have done botanical and nature studies all my life that have garnered prizes, which is a type of work that requires once again, an analysis of structure in plants, animals, and nature. Sorry for this long spiel, but again what I most enjoy though I don't play chess, is the research, learning, and troubleshooting which the Internet now makes a real 'gas' for me, and I love working out problems both technical and musical for my students which have ranged from 3 and 4 years to 70 years of age. My own father loved to read mystery stories as a passion, so maybe some of my interest comes from him, too. I think that Kraiglabs has a scenario that makes great sense to me from both a science and a naturalists point of view, and I personally look for companies to invest in that will succeed globally not just nationally as that's the world we live in now, and I also think that companies who can solve a problem simply and in a partnership with nature rather than 'depleting' our environment will continue on after 'archaic' companies have run out of fossil and limited fuels and such. Kraig is partnering with a successful, proven, and natural silkworm industry, and so is taking a shortcut to success, and they're creating a product that is not only renewable, but will be globally in demand, as textiles that will last longer and not wear out will keep people from the cycle of spending and waste that polyester and other synthetics don't do. I'm sorry to say I had to sell all my shares, since I didn't have enough to weather a reverse split which I think is apparent. I had been buying a little at a time since 2016 with a few bucks here and there since I never bought stock before and was just learning. I'm still following Kraig as I 'do' think it's a definite winner, and I might try to get in again if I see the opportunity. I had to make a mathematical calculation and I could probably buy in again for the long term with more share later, but I would have had very few if I waited for a split now. As it is my small investment paid off and I've gotten 6-7 times what I paid over the last 3 years, and since I only had under 10,000 shares I might've ended up with very little at a 40 split, but with the profit I have made, I could probably get much more even in an uplist, so I'll keep reading the board and following closely so that maybe I can jump back in again for the long term. As I said, I'm not a chess player, but I love working out problems, and silkworms are something I've always understood! If I had more cash to spare I'd definitely not have sold now, but will still be around in any case. GLTYA, and Buona Fortuna as they say in the Italian Operas!
