Hi eagle,
I would never wish bad luck on anyone, yet I can't exactly wish you good luck since that would mean my shares are going nowhere. So I just hope you do keep your finger on the trigger to buy back in.
I have to disagree that the competition has passed KBL by. Bolt Threads and Spiber, despite several years now and many millions from private investors each, neither has not been able to produce a fiber of any extraordinary qualities. Both have created jackets that are not ready for sale, and in fact can not even be touched by the public. I realize that KBL has produced nothing of note and that is maddening to me but at least they have proven a fiber of tremendous strength and elasticity.
There will be advantages and disadvantages to the synthetic process, but until they create something in the lab that is beyond or even equal too standard silk they will be nothing more than eco friendly clothing companies.
I've been here over 7 years now and have gone through every emotion imaginable. Kim is a plodder and has made some mistakes, but I believe he will one day very soon revolutionize the entire silk industry world wide.
