i know exactly what you are saying mojo, they will buy in when they are sure and the risk is out... and at this point with an .11 cent price a buyout does not look likely - true
what I have in mind (and again , pure speculation) sial is in a priveledged position and has the inside track on what kblb is doing due to the licensing arrangement they have.
the concept of silkworm as a protein expression system if it proves to work (using zinc fingers) i think would be something sial would be very interested in
kblb stock seems to be holding up pretty well, somebody could be hen-picking a bit right now, but when the big news hits thats when the big boys might arrive
