All speculation on my part.
As far as people maybe not understanding and appreciating the science news as it comes out, it would be hard to expect most people to. I can understand a great deal of it on a very rudimentary level, but not nearly enough to put it in a full picture perspective. If Kim/Ben won't impress upon us what the value of each breakthrough is, there will be nothing in that news to support any pop in the stock price.
Their whole presentation is weak. It makes me wonder if it's even important to them. I don't think they are going to sell this through the internet. It will take a sales force hitting the pavement. Even with that, they should make that web page as professional as possible. It makes them look hokey. It doesn't seem very important to them, and I wonder why.
Same with the business advisory board. It's a legit question to ask what they are even there for. If the board is legit, obviously their expertise will be tapped when KBLB begins marketing, because it doesn't seem to be utilized at this time. At this time, they're just pictures on the IHub board.
Because I don't understand all the steps in the science process, it would be easy for me to assume that KBLB doesn't seem to exude a sense of urgency. Zinc will probably counter that they are moving ahead at breakneck speed by analyzing the lab progresses. That's what I mean by maybe we just don't understand and appreciate what is happening with this company on the science front.
Is Calm Seas a double edged sword? Are they not only the banker, but the stock promoter? KBLB doesn't seem to have any urgency in attracting investors through the website, because if they did, it would seem to me to be a good idea if they would embrace some of the things you suggested for the web page. Is StockWatchAlert the face being presented to the investment community at this time? Boy, that is a questionable strategy if that is the plan. Can Kim/Ben justify to the general investment community the use of Calm Seas and their "marketing arm" as the introduction avenue to KBLB and be taken seriously? Certainly not by you, me and a number of others right here on this board.
I've never posted this before, but I have thought a number of times over the past couple of months whether this is just a science nerd's (Thompson) playground. Is Kim Thompson just really interested in this stuff, and is having his curiosity satisfied on a bunch of other people's dime? Has there been some market research done, and maybe this stuff doesn't have the industrial value that we all assume it does? Mojo has said it before, if this is the holy grail of all materials, what is taking so long when we seem so close? Maybe there's something about it that limits is uses and value. Maybe there are production issues. Without getting too conspiratorial, maybe there are "powers that be" that won't allow the Genie out of the bottle. Is it so incredible that it's unsafe for the private marketplace (picture the end of "Raiders of the Lost Arc)?
If you are as science ignorant as I am, it looks like KBLB is stumbling along when they should be flying on greased rails. And maybe they are. It just seems like something isn't right.
