A way anyone gets there is by a change in fundamentals as they exist right now. I know you know that, but Kim has to know about something big that he thinks will get him there. Some of the technologies KBLB is looking to unseat could be multi-billion $ production technologies. How much would you pay to license manufacturing of those?
Understand I am speculating, like everyone else. Personally I think Kim isn't going to risk losing the company making unattainable claims. I can think of several things that should happen prior to any attempt to uplist though. Does Kim have backing from investment houses? Are they close to getting manufacturing in more than one country? So while I don't see it yet, I think it is possible to get to 4, but not knowing details, I don't see it.
I will wait and see what the news is, and ascertain the prospect(s) when it is made public. Production, names, licensing, revenues. These could take anyone to much higher levels....certainly not science, until the market understands the money to be made behind the science. Spell it out for us Kim.
