jimjet, $1 - 4 range for the year is looking more and more legit, wouldn't you say?

We'll, see. I think $3s are likely now as Yves refused to confirm the guidance for the first time this year and the market currently doesn't get excited about no-named announcements anyway...but you never know what might come out of the blue. We can always hope.

You have some misconceptions:
1. I don't recall saying I'd be a seller at $4 I just remember saying after the Jan 9 conf I expected a $1 - $4 range for the year - which was actually a BULLISH call.

2. I DID get in around a buck on some options and then on the announcement in July I DID buy in, and have done well.

3. I never said I was leaving here for good..just taking a break or backing off.. which I certainly did do and continue to do.

4. I never intentionally misled anyone here despite your misinterpretations re an alleged alias

5. I MUCH PREFER TO POST ABOUT COMPANY DEVELOPMENTS, and not preoccupy myself with other people. You may want to give that a try.

Price Prediction For 2026:

On Oct 23, 2022 on the morning following a close of $6.61 I predicted a decline to the $1 range over time if JM and Dr Lebby's claims failed to be validated.

Here's what I wrote:

No director, no other boatd member, no analyst, no industry insider, no hedge fund or institutional representative, no technical expert, no partner - no one else has confirmed or validated the specific claims to commercial viability being made by these two individuals.

That’s highly significant... If the claims of these two men are not validated the stock will move back down to the $1 range over time because their words were the reason the price moved up from the low dollar range in the first place.

The price did go below $1 in April following the revelation that Dr Lebby's claims failed to be validated late in 2024 and as the months continued to pass with little news.


On Jan 11, 2025 after hearing from Yves and the day following a close of $1.94 I predicted $1-4 for the year:

I"d guess $1-4 range over the next year. If it drifts close to 1 then delisting could become a major concern. I'm thinking that probably won't happen this year though unless it is mostly crickets with no interesting announcments

https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175651234

JimJet, $1 - 4 may have seemed like a real 'miss' since it was around $5 when you posted this very false characterization of things I've done and said, including the prediction. I don't recall saying I'd sell at $4 -- just that it was the range I thought the price was likely to be in throughout the year. While we spiked above it for a month or so, we ended at $3.18.

Now that 2026 has arrived, it is time for another prediction.

This one is tricky because we now have actual VALIDATION that I've been looking for since June of '22 that the industry is actually taking Lightwave seriously. But stage 3 is a long stage requiring foundry runs that can take months - used to take 6-9 months, so potentially a long wait and with no guarantees of the result.

OTOH we have some things that could happen before then that could positively affect the price:

1. more stage 3 announcements
2. successful announcements from first Stage 3 partner
3. 2nd Global 500 moves out of provisional into formal stage 3
4. reliability successes on devices in stage 3 announced
5. names of any of the stage 3 partners or foundries announced
6. possible analyst coverage - perhaps driven by the recent large investors - which positions Lightwave positively
7. surprise leap-frog in plasmonic technology with realistic near term commercialization announcement
8. possible Coherent interest shown as a result of our recent hire away from Coherent.

Any of the above announcements could move the stock above $5 and a combination of 2 or more of those factors could push it into double digits.

Yves said that a move into Stage 3 is very likely to lead to a commercial product. My take is that it materially increases the odds but is not nearly a guarantee, as many things can fail to pan out. BUT, the momentum is positive. LIGHTWAVE IS FINALLY BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY THE INDUSTRY. That is likely to continue to be the case and be amplified throughout the year...which will be seen and heard about..

My prediction: Price will reach $8 by mid-year. Beyond that I have no prediction.

Great post here jimjet218...I must have missed it the first time. Thanks for bringing it to my attention Tedpeele, even though he's talking about you.
