Good morning dear longs, the next pr on monday could be about the results of the second production run which should be much higher than the first one of 325 pounds. If that is the case, Kblb cannot and will no longer be ignored by the market, it could have an explosive effect on the pps. Very often, the pps is driven intentionally down by mms to frighten the non informed and to collect as many shares as possible by selling bigger blocks to themselves, and that could very well be the reason of this week s pps decline. The news were excellent, no reason at all to sell one single share, but lots of reasons to purchase as many shares as possible. We will see who is right on monday, today s price action started hopefully……..

"Because what they have achieved is only comparable to the plastics revolution…."
You are so right, EOT. As a young kid on my first ever job, I worked as an usher in a movie theater in Pittsburgh in 1967-1968. The Graduate (Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft) was playing for several months. I must have watched that movie over a hundred times. I will never ever forget the scene when an older gentleman approached Dustin Hoffman and told him to never forget one word, PLASTIC. From then on, a plastics revolution took place. And, plastic is obsolete next to KBLB's SS. I always regretted missing the plastic revolution, but I am here now for the explosion of SS. WE ARE GOLDEN! GO KBLB!

I wouldn't get too excited, since it was obviously manipulation.

In the words of KBLB, “You do the math.”
The Market
The global market demand for technical fibers is growing rapidly, as the products have become essential for industrial and consumer applications. In 2012, the global market for technical fibers reached approximately $133 billion. The demand for technical fibers is expected to reach $160 billion in 2018. As an example, in 2015, du Pont’s segment sales in this market (with its products Kevlar®, Tyvek® Typar®, Nomex®, and Sontara® are estimated at $3.5 billion. In addition to the performance and technical fibers markets, the Company is targeting the multibillion-dollar silk market. The market for raw silk fibers alone is a $5 billion market.
The potential applications for spider silk products include the following textile markets:
Medical textiles
Geotextiles
Textiles used in Defense and Military
Safe and Protective Clothing
Filtration Textiles
Textiles used in Transportation
Textiles used in Buildings
Composites with Textile Structure
Functional and Supportive Textiles
Performance Sportswear
Traditional Fashion Apparel
The Company believes that the superior mechanical characteristics of the next generation of protein-based polymers will open up new applications for the technology, outside of traditional textiles, and result in a significant increase in demand. These fibers can justifiably be referred to as “super fibers.”
In addition to spider silk’s potential anti-ballistic and textile qualities, spider silk’s amazing properties could make it the basis of many market disrupting technologies in industrial, military and consumer applications, requiring superior strength, toughness and flexibility. Beyond traditional fiber properties, recent discoveries in the ongoing study of spider silk has identified a number of truly amazing properties, including the ability of spider silk to function as a fiber optic chemical sensor.
By the Numbers
Smart venture capital money continues to pour into spider silk technology with an additional $106 million being invested in 2017.
According to MaRS Discovery District 5 “Most early-stage investors look for 10 to 20 times the return on their investment (later-stage investors tend to look for 3 to 5 times the return) within two to five years.”
Let’s apply this simple rule of expected returns to one of Kraig Labs’ competitors, now on their 4th round of capital raising and approaching $196 million in total. $7.7 million in early-stage investment targeting a 15x return. Then an additional $188.3 million in three later-stage investments targeting a 4x return. If we assume this venture capital money has claimed an aggressive 80% of company equity, then they are valuing this single player in the spider silk market at more than $1 billion dollars.
With so much smart money looking to claim a piece of the exciting market for spider silk, what potential does the future hold for Kraig Labs and our easy to produce, low cost, best in class spider silk super fibers? You do the math.
In Conclusion
Kraig Labs is delighted that we overcame technical and scientific obstacles with brainpower and ingenuity, and not by throwing money at the problem. The result is our unparalleled technical prowess and process advantages. Unlike our competitors, who jointly invested more than $300 million, Kraig Labs used minimal cash (roughly $5 million) and a considerable amount of sweat equity.
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (KBLB) is the only company in this space to subject our scientific work to the peer review process and publish that work before the National Academy of Sciences. That is because we are confident in our work. We are the only publicly traded spider silk company on the planet. We are the only spider silk company to publicly file quarterly reports to the SEC and annually file audited financials. We are the only company in this competitive space to publicly report our material performance specifications. We are the only such company to disclose our production cost structure.
We are proud of the achievements that have made us, arguably, the world leader in spider silk technologies. As world leader in recombinant textiles, we believe we are poised for success in the technical textiles market place.

What will it be worth when revenue starts rolling in? Market Cap is over $100M with NO revenue. While $10B is hard to fathom right now, isn’t $100M just as hard to fathom with NO revenue? Again, what will KBLB be worth when revenue starts rolling in? Let’s assume that egg and silk production continues to expand and increase. Those eggs and/or silk are eventually going to be sold and revenue will land on the books. And then we will know what KBLB is worth WITH revenue. I am eager to learn the answer. It’s safe to assume the answer is more than $100M.

“And now he’s moved onto production production production… and when that has worn out, he’ll move on to something else… he has nothing to sell in WORST of all nobody knows what amount has been accumulated. Lots of people are assuming he has metric tons already… I would bet it’s just a very small amount…”
Man you really ride this like a rollercoaster. Little run and it’s “woohoo”, a more quiet period and back to Kim the crook.
EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW RHEY ARE EXPANDING PRODUCTION BASED ON THEIR EARLIER SUCCESSFUL PRODUCTION RUNS.
EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THIS WILL TAKE TIME.
Within the same couple sentences you both claim Kim likely is just talking about production but hasn’t produced anything and then follow it up with likely only being small amounts.
If Kim announces next month a metric ton has been delivered to Adidas you will be telling the haters to shut up again.
Relax. There should be ZERO EXPECTATION of a near term grand announcement. We have all seen the timeline Kim has laid out.
I, like most everyone, hope he has some other announcements to bridge the gap to large scale production but, if he doesn’t, we will likely sit and slide lower.
If we don’t hear about constant progress and then tonnage by Q4 then I’ll start to wonder. For now, for better or worse, this is about what I expect to see.

Despite all the bashing of the stock and misleading info on so called competitors the price appears to be resilient. Now it is time to diminish one's past enthusiasm and attack people for not seeing what is really happening? Oh, my eyes are wide open now! The facts are now in play. Yes they are, and they show just the opposite of the what some are posting so let's go after those who are positive. Some say:
"Thanks for coming to the aid of your cohort but you really know little of why I coined the phrase.
By the way, the share price appreciated after too.
When I chose to rescind it, there were several factors that I previously explained on this board.
You now wanting to turn a blind eye to the FACTS isn't surprising."
Let's see what the therapists have to say about this:
"“I” this and “I” that. “Me” this and “Me” that. This use of first person singular pronoun in one’s way of talking or writing appears to reflect some sort of an egotistical, self-centeredness and detachment from the rest of the community.What came out was that the frequent use of “I”, “Me” and “myself” (the first person singular pronoun) went hand in hand with higher depression scores."
