People do a lot of things for a guaranteed paycheck. ML should be ashamed of himself.

worth another LQQk, Marco said, Some say LWLG will go nowhere for the next several years giving no credible reasons except past history of a failure to commercialize. We have a bloated board because of the large increase in their posts and other board members who point out flaws in that thinking. One thing to keep in mind is that Dr. Lebby has been telling us that Lightwave's polymers will become ubiqitous for the last couple years and the company has kept moving the technology forward. The word ubiquitous comes up just about every conference he attended or chaired over the past couple years. He has not backed down on that prediction. Now we hear companies saying they need the kind of modulators that are much lower power, much faster and smaller for better designs. This of course is a tell as LWLG has modulators that fit that description and they have the business plan that could make their polymers ubiquitous.

We must remember that Dr. Lebby has 40 years of experience in photonics. He has a PhD. in Engineering, an MBA and has over 200 U.S. utility patents to his name and 450 if you count international patents as well. He is a full professor and has taught optoelctronics at Glydwr University, Wales, U.K. He has been a technical consultant to the European Commision which manages policies for the EU. He is a leader in the area of photonics and is a often a lead speaker at conferences. He has a knowledge of the whole optoelectronics industry that is beyond compare. He has a history of seeing things in the industry well before they happen and that is why his coming up with new patents has been so voluminous. He is someone that has worked hard to achieve all this. His reputation is exceptional and he likely is very proud of that. Somebody like this doesn't keep talking publically about Lightwave polymers becoming ubiquitous over and over unless he knows a lot more than the numskulls on this board that say he is wrong. You would be foolish to bet against a guy like this.

Marco,

I have never heard him say will become ubiqitous. I heard him say that he wants it become.
Will be and wants to be are 2 different things.

I want it to happend as well. Will it happen? Thats for the market to decide.
Coz claiming it will become and not succeeding will result in major issues with stakeholders.

Marco, you forget that the company has said every year since 2008 that meaningful commercialization would commence the following year. That’s 16 consecutive years of being wrong.

So, what are we to make of that fact:

Two things -

1. The company is having a challenging time negotiating a complex and fluid market.

2. The company is incompetent at managing shareholder and market expectations.

I believe the company is working on #1, relatively competently.

What we need is a dramatic change in #2. The reason there are angry longs is because the company continually fails to temper its lab enthusiasm with real world commercial execution challenges. We’re all big boys and girls. Give us the full picture, instead of nonsense hyperbole like “ubiquitous”, and we can evaluate the prospects.

Management is the cause of the strong divergence of opinion here. They need to correct the problem.

Completely plausible.

Ultimately, it’s why I don’t agree with tedpeele’s unbridled cynicism. Makes zero sense for this man to purger and bring shame to himself with his professional Pedegree. It’s not to say that PhDs and people with high academic standing don’t ever do shameful things. However, when you’re in your profession for this many decades, and you have made the quality of contribution, it’s not human nature to step outside of who you’ve been.
