My investment is STRONGLY supported by my trust in the CEO. Though I wish he were communicating differently (didn't say more, I mean differently), I still feel that he has handled my investment very well to this point.

I think Hansel supporting a blog on the website, if they can ever get the security issues hammered out, is a great idea.

The headline on ScottTrade reads....."Kraig Biocraft Laboratories to hold Shareholder Conference Call to discuss laboratory, technical and commercialization updates" In order for us to discuss those issues with Thompson on the CC, he'll have to update us first. There will have to be PR(s) next week. It all makes sense as Hansel told somebody here that they wanted to wait until after Memorial Day to hold the conference call so shareholders and other interested parties could prepare questions. Need info to prepare questions. PR us next week, give us a week to think it over, have a CC. Hopefully my "adding up" equals out.

It will have taken a few generations of cross breeding and selection to make the Gen1 worms homozygous. In addition the process of making them homozygous may very well have improved the quality of the silk produced and/or the amount of silk produced. (Many traits have much stronger effects when both copies of an allele(version of a gene) are present rather than only one.

With a considerably better product not only possible but likely, Kim may well have felt he could get a much better deal with higher quality samples to send out.

It is risky to make too many conclusions based on something you expected from your own deductions as to what should have been done when evaluating research companies. There is always a lot more than gets released in the PRs and public documents (for very good reasons: most of it would be incomprehensible to the public and only confuse them. Note for example when KBLB announce that it had successfully genetically modified silkworms the share price did not budge. So a week later it explained that that meant that they'd added a gene so that the worms could produce spider silk and the price skyrocketed.

If you're going to invest in biotechs, you have to cut the companies a little slack.
