Great point! I think you are spot on as it being part of the contract negations...
And fully agreed with the next few months (possibly weeks) will be fun to watch!

good point. even though SGLB has cash on hand it may not cover a ramp up and other expenses too.. Z

I did not even begin to think in those terms, and it makes a lot of sense. Certainly with the emphasis that GE is putting on AM they will want to be certain that their suppliers will be fully capable of meeting GE's needs without delay that would cause problems for GE.

All in all, it appears that the lines between the dots are coming together, and while it may be blasphemous on this board to say so, I hope that the price stays in the relative bargain basement until mi-Jan2015 so that I can load up my "catch-up" contribution to my ROTH at these levels... yeah I know, I should not be in the position now of being able to use or having to use the catch up provisions for ROTH but it is what it is and I am doing what I can do.

Bingo, a big conglomerate like GE does not want to do business with a cash starved business that cannot produce a product and to have a means to fix any related start-up issues IMO.

Exactly correct.

I talked about this a month or so ago when many were expecting revenues very soon. Fact of the matter is that GE or any other big company is not going to hand over a multi million dollar contract to equip 100+ printers with only Cola, Vivek and a few teddy bears supporting them.
You need customer service, IT support, expert technical support and an entire infrastructure in place if you want to maximize your revenue potential. You'll never see a company with sub 5 employees making 50 Million in revenue is my point.

So tapping into the S-3 filing to raise capital before a major contract is announced...well not going to happen. I can bet money on that.

Here are the series of events that will most likely occur.

1.) Sigma Labs will receive a big contract sometime soon, but to start at a future date and probably with contingencies. Annouced sometime soon, but won't be payable until GE finishes their 3D manufacturing facilities,
2.) Stock price will spike immediately, but how much is dependent on how the contract is structured, the size of it, etc., (uplisiting at this time wouldn't hurt, and probably will happen)
3.) Now that Sigma Labs knows that they have secured a contract that will start paying say 6 months from now, it gives them time to start ramping up and building their infrastructure to support GE or any other company. They will not do or rather shouldn't do this (if they were smart) without securing a guaranteed contract first. This is where they will tap into their S-3 filing, after a spike in stock price, and raise additional capital for expansion (which is Cust. Service, IT support, technical support, HR, accounting, finance etc.)

I'm limited to 1 post a day. See you tomorrow. ;)

I agree with your line of thinking. I mentioned it in a post last night. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=106628717
