I agree with your post, Bridge. Great points about DD's presence in Vietnam. When it comes to money, it is hard to separate good from evil. I would not be a bit surprised if DD were up to some underhanded thing to thwart KBLB's succeeding in Vietnam.
In a buyout, DD would LOVE coming in and scooping up KBLB for .50 rather than having to buy them into the many dollars. Of course, when KBLB begins production over there, it would easy for DD to assimilate KBLB into their own company. That is a good thing, since location is so important.
I look at the positive side also. I think DD would want the experts (KBLB) to bring these silks to full commercialization. Then, buying KBLB at even six dollars or more would allow them to be in good shape when a buyout comes. KBLB would be right there, and an assimilation would be easy.
Who knows what is REALLY going on.
