1) A plant is only good if it’s producing a viable, salable product. Negative for now - only changes to positive if sales are derived from Lam Dong silk.
2) a contract is worthless without sales, as we have seen with the contract we have. Negative, cuz it’s unlikely to be filled.
3)Producing in Lam Dong? Producing something, but is it viable and is it enough to sell? No revenue to date is the best answer to that question. Until cash hits the coffers in exchange for viable silk produced, there’s nothing to crow about.
4) If they had enough, we’d have seen sales by now. “Glitch”, “Development”, “Tweak” seem like BS until revenue proves otherwise. Negative.
5) DID the AF seek KBLB out? Even though there was a reference to chimeric spider silk in the proposal, how in the world does anyone know whether or not there are any PRIVATE companies engaged in a similar activity to KBLB’s? Positive, given that KBLB should be considered.
6) Fast tracked money - maybe so - but the Army contract was a failure (to many reasons explaining that are already too well known to relist).
7) The AF funding stateside production is a maybe. Positive
8) Having sent out samples is a positive (depending upon how much one trusts Kim to have sent out viable silk vs what they had which may not have been viable - (unknown). Positive.
In sum, a few positives, a few maybes and a few negatives. Another negative, the three AF positives listed are essentially one thing, as are your numbers one and three. So, a lot less is likely to be positive than surmised, hence $.04 and not because of any “manipulation “.
