I tend to agree w/ all of that. CEO Thompson has always been 2 to 3 steps ahead of everyone else. Today is no exception. "There’s a reason he threw it out there." Exactly ... many possibilities. Dance w/ the one who brung ya, I say. He got us here to this point and he has earned my respect. This company is in very good hands. The anticipation is palpable. This company is on the verge of Greatness.
Through a mutual friend, I met a retired gentleman who has done very well for himself in his career which may or may not have been involved in the investment game. I told him about KBLB and he was skeptical, at first. I ran into him the very next day and he told me, after looking into it, he bought shares and convinced 3 of his buddies to do the same. I had made a copy of the recent web video (brilliant, by the way, better on the 2nd viewing) transcript and gave it to him. He had done some research, watched the video, and requested another copy of the transcript to send to other potential investors. He and his friends are NOT living on social security. I'll leave it at that.
You can be like the man above, learn something new, and recognize the future. Or you can wait for the first big contract announcement to buy shares. Or wait for us to move to the Naz before you buy shares. Or you can apply for membership to the Bashturds-Gone-Wild club and be forever thereafter known as a scumtard. No pressure, I'm flexible. Or ... tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock ...
Special shout-out to Arachnodude for brilliant spider-silk-themed takeoffs on traditional favorites. Very nicely done. Enjoyed it all. Great stuff.
What's in your future? … BUY MORE SHARES !!!
We are the * NEXT * BIG * THING *
Later, WBeacham

" He said he needed an additional $5 million to ramp up production and open a 'sales office.'"
yea....and wheres the "challenge" in that?...
"Thompson needs money to expand production. He told us this himself."
kim has talked about expanding production for some time...and i have been saying that he needed to get financing to do that...EVERYONE has known for many years now, that if we have initial production success, the next step is OBVIOUSLY growth and expansion... kim now says he is negotiating "a bridge transaction to get us through the production expansion, while we continue
to improve our fundamentals for a potential uplist.
We're working with a trusted financial source, and when the terms are right, we'll announce a deal."...
i dont see anything "challenging" there...just normal business transactions that kim has done many times already...
you seem to want to pretend that i am denying kim needs money for expansion of production...nice try...
your statement which i took exception to was this: "Thompson still has the challenge of sustaining production at the metric ton level and expanding to even bigger production scales."
there is no such challenge at all....and once again, this is what kim said: "The advancements in our manufacturing operations can’t be overstated. We now have the people,
facilities, and supporting infrastructure in place to consistently product silk at muti-ton levels. "...

"If I was UA and I thought Bam-1 was the greatest invention since peanut butter, I'd offer KBLB $5 million and say, "Deliver Bam-1 as quickly as you can." No interest, no terms, just an advance payment. Or I might start a joint venture and contribute $5 million up front to KBLB to get them started."
kim stated he would make 5 tons in 2025...if he takes $5 mil as an "advance payment" from UA, that leaves no room for other business ventures or partnerships other than UA for a long time...although a deal with UA would be a good thing, its probably best for kblb not to lock themselves in completely with just one entity...thats why there is such a thing as negotiations...and thats why i would rather it be a loan...we get the money and the connection to a company like UA would be worth more than the money...and we still have the freedom to work with others...
"Because we know none of these have happened, KBLB does not appear to have much interest from big deep-pocketed customers."
because you have no info as to whether or not there is interest, then there must not be?...because nothing has been announced yet, there must be zero interest?...smh
"That tells us something about the level of interest KBLB has from customers."
the idea that you dont know if there is interest means there isnt any?...alrighty then...
"You simply don't want to admit it."
i will admit that neither you or i know who kim is talking to and what they are saying...so neither of us has any reason to draw conclusions of any kind...so im willing to wait to see what develops...UA is not going to cough up $5 mil in upfront money for a fraction of the Bam1 they need...might they possibly do a low interest loan?...yea, i think so...

Given the limited amount of silk, there is zero need for a sales team right now. Kim and Jon can handle sales to the one customer they will be able to supply. Unless, they are going to sell samples or license the tech out or sell mucho eggs. There’s a reason he threw it out there. But I don’t see the need for a sales team yet. The money would be better used on establishing, staffing, and training another 25 ton facility. But maybe he’s going to license it out or sell eggs to someone who is going to farm it. There are a lot of possibilities. It’s all positive compared to where we were 3, 4, 10 years ago! 2025 is gonna be the biggest production year ever! And we KNOW it going into the year with CONFIDENCE!!!!
Kong on.

The question I'm raising is: Why does Thompson need financing? If Thompson is offering such a wonderful product, companies with deep pockets ought to at least offer an advance payment on delivery. Not a loan, not financing, a payment. Before delivery.
If I was UA and I thought Bam-1 was the greatest invention since peanut butter, I'd offer KBLB $5 million and say, "Deliver Bam-1 as quickly as you can." No interest, no terms, just an advance payment. Or I might start a joint venture and contribute $5 million up front to KBLB to get them started.
Because we know none of these have happened, KBLB does not appear to have much interest from big deep-pocketed customers. That tells us something about the level of interest KBLB has from customers. You simply don't want to admit it.

"Auld Pumpers Decline" – A KBLB New Year’s Farewell (sang like "Auld Lang Syne")
🎵 Should old pumpers' schemes be forgot,
And buried deep in time?
Their false claims, their hollow plots,
Fade like cheap old wine. 🎵
🎵 For KBLB, truth draws near,
While scammers squirm and whine.
Their cons exposed, so loud and clear,
In failure's sad decline. 🎵
🎵 Oh, their false cries, and constant scams,
While schemers deceive and lie.
Their narratives grow weak and clear,
As scams unravel in time. 🎵
🎵 So raise a glass to truth and strength,
To markets well-defined.
While scammers repeat their lies at length,
Their cons we'll leave behind. 🎵
🎵 Farewell, dear frauds, enjoy your lair,
Your echo chamber shrine.
For honesty is here to stay,
And scams? Past their prime. 🎵

"Auld Trolls Decline" – A KBLB New Year’s Farewell (sang like "Auld Lang Syne")
🎵 Should old trolls’ nonsense be forgot,
And buried deep in time?
Their bitter posts, their broken thoughts,
Fade like stale old wine. 🎵
🎵 For KBLB, success draws near,
While trolls just whine and pine.
Their narratives grow weak and clear,
In failure’s sad decline. 🎵
🎵 Oh sustained cries, and constant moans,
While some pretend to shine.
KBLB progress stands, and truth is known,
As troll efforts undermine. 🎵
🎵 So raise a glass to silk and strength,
To milestones well-defined.
While trolls recycle rants at length,
Their posts we’ll leave behind. 🎵
🎵 Farewell, dear trolls, enjoy your cave,
Your echo chamber shrine.
For spider silk is here to stay,
And trolls? Past their prime. 🎵
Here’s to a year where facts outshine fiction and trolls fade into permanent irrelevance. Cheers!

Appreciate the kind words, Heisgreater! Let’s be real, though, if Mr. T ever handed me the KBLB VP of Public Relations badge, you’d see a press release so sharp it would cut through a troll’s argument mid-sentence.
But hey, until then, I’ll just keep holding the line, pointing out the continued progress, and letting the facts speak louder than the noise.
Tic Tok BAM indeed!

"If Bam-1 is the 'material of the future,' why is Thompson struggling to find 'good terms?' "
kim never used the words "good terms"...here is what he DID say:
"We're working with a trusted financial source, and when the terms are right, we'll announce a deal."
im sure they are open to all types of financing including companies that are willing or want to provide it...i dont expect anyone to provide free money for any reason...i also dont believe Kim is "struggling to find" financing...he is simply weighing the choices and terms and has time to make a decision...
"The absence of such interest means companies are not at all convinced about Bam-1 and KBLB's ability to deliver."
most likely interested parties have received samples and tested Bam1...i doubt they have any concerns about it...their concerns, if any, would be more with Kim and his history than anything else...
id be just fine with a loan from a reputable financial institution with good terms...
"Note: If KBLB had signed on to another joint partnerships or venture that entailed an investment in KBLB, Thompson would have been required to report this to shareholders as a material event. No material event: no advanced sales, partnerships, or ventures."
not if there were nda's or they have agreed in principle but have not not yet signed a contract...there are many ways around the material event issue...

If Bam-1 is the 'material of the future,' why is Thompson struggling to find 'good terms?' If companies believed Bam-1 was truly the 'material of the future,' they would be offfering advances on sales, joint partnerships, joint ventures, or other ways to dump money into a company for favorable opportunities to buy Bam-1. No need for financing.
The absence of such interest means companies are not at all convinced about Bam-1 and KBLB's ability to deliver.
Note: If KBLB had signed on to another joint partnerships or venture that entailed an investment in KBLB, Thompson would have been required to report this to shareholders as a material event. No material event: no advanced sales, partnerships, or ventures.
It's not hard to connect the dots. They are right next to one another.

Yes I am sure that no one is stepping up to the plate to fund KBLB's expansion. Thompson told us this in the "Web Conference." Watch it again and notice he talks about "financing" and "finding the best terms."
Obviously if UA offers you $5 million as an advance payment on a batch of Spydasilk, this is not financing and the only terms you have to figure out is "What is the best way to say 'Thank you'?" For companies like UA, $5 million doesn't even qualify as chump change. It's the amount they find in the cushions of the CEO's couch on a Tuesday. If UA wanted Spydasilk, they would not hesitate to offer KBLB an advance payment of $5 million, even if they were concerned that KBLB might not be able to deliver.
Once again, Thompson told us that no one has stepped up to the plate. Instead he is looking for the best terms he can arrange for dilutive financing. You don't have to connect the dots. Just listen to the "web conference."
