Firstly the fact that a large number of companies have been spending a very large amount of money and time trying to develop pure spider silk should give some indication. In addition it is diffuct to read much literature about the high tech fiber industry without running across many comments indicating that pure spider silk would be highly desirable IF there were only some way to make it.
for high tech fibers:
1) pure spider silk is extremely strong
2) it is also extremely elastic (a combination of qualities that is unequaled and highly desireable)
for silk garments and accessories:
3)it has a greatly superior texture and feel than silkworm silk
4) it is more resistant to wear
5) the color is superior
In addition, the whole point of KBLB's "platform worm" is that all of the above qualities can be individually custom tailored to meet the specific needs of any customers applications.
IMHO you should perhaps consider carefully weighing what is said with reference to who is saying it, what their credibility is and how much evidence they present to support their contentions.
ACTC has some good prospects. But it's SP has been stuck below 20 cents since it's 4X run up 9 months ago and it will take some significant news to get back up there IMHO. The odds of KBLB getting big news soon appear to be to be much better than ACTC's. In addition it's products are all medical products which have very high failure rates even among the most promising of products, not to mention requiring lengthy FDA approvals. In contrast, it's already been shown that KBLB's approach can very significantly improve the strength of silk (and has doubled the strength of silkworm silk so far already) and there are (except for the medical uses) no possibility of failure of FDA approvals or failure to get any other regulatory approvals as none are required.
(In all honesty there could be a slight trace of "sour grapes" there: I had a buy entered for ACTC at 2 cents and my finger on the button but decided at the last minute not to for the wrong reason. LOL! Even so, KBLB looks like a better bet to me right now.)
