Great posts like this are what keeps me sitting on my shares and adding when I can. For me, SGLB is a VERY promising story.

While I agree with many of your points, specifically the limited knowledge that the general public or investing public has regarding the role that PrintRite3D will have in facilitating certification and manufacture of parts for aero and other critical applications, as well as speeding up the printing and post-printing inspection and qualification process, I do have some difficulty with your statement that it is the institutional investors who are manipulating the pps at the current time.

I can find only two institutional investors on the Nasdaq site.
http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/sglb/institutional-holdings and they have a total of barely over 1,000,000 shares between them. How is it that they are able to manipulate the pps when they hold less than .2% of the float? I am aware of the shares held by Rockville and am also aware of the shares in the private placement before that, however, I do not know that these are considered "institutional" investors. Rather than look for conspiracy theory culprits amongst the institutional investors and market makers, I believe that there are fundamental reasons why the pps is where it is.

Is it not more reasonable to believe that the low pps and lack of momentum is due to the fact that SGLB is under the radar screen of investors and the majority of institutional investors are prohibited by their charters from investing in penny stocks? Is it not more reasonable to believe that the low pps and lack of momentum is due to the fact that SGLB has not as yet announced significant contracts, let alone revenues? Is it not more reasonable to believe that based upon the traditional metrics involved in fundamental analysis, that SGLB simply is not at a point in its existence where it can demonstrate a reason to support a higher valuation?

As far as the SGLB connection with Materialise, is it not more accurate to believe that SGLB will benefit not from an IPO for. Materialise but rather when and if the customers of Materialise purchase or license the .PR3D software from Materialise? Is SGLB going to directly receive money from Materailise from the IPO?

Don't get me wrong, I am very long SGLB and I have very positive expectations of the stock price in the next two years, I just have difficulty accepting some of your statements as explanations why SGLB is trading at the levels we see now.

IF the collaboration with Boeing, Prat and Whitney, etc in NIST will result in some sort of standard for AM produced parts which endorses PR3D as a method to obtain certification from FAA or other industry relevant groups/agencies, IF PR3D can be shown to allow a more rapid print (perhaps 25% or more as some statements indicate) IF PR3D can become either an official or de facto standard, THEN, the pps will obviously increase parabolically. I am just questioning your underlying assumptions as to why the current pps is where it is.
