Honest assessment from a Xster Long. Anyone sho
Post# of 871
Anyone short or long basing liquidity on 350k shares is delusional. We know that when Lebby took over for Z, Andrew Stepped aside for Fred on the Board, Leonberger taking over the operations committee the volume spiked, but many of those shares traded were by the same players throughout the day. Just Saying those few high volume days are skewing numbers. Do not think that anyone can buy or sell 100k shares in one day without moving this significantly. For those wanting to buy shares I’d recommend entering a bid slightly below the current bid, proly a good idea to raise it towards the end of the day just below the ask as Shorts will be drawn in by other shorts and perhaps they may sell to you, day traders like to get back to cash by the end of the day, just saying. Anyone buying or selling should spend at least 1 hour researching the science for each 100% they plan on making or risk losing.
When researching remember that while speeds can be achieved the magic needs to happen without generating additional heat and in an area smaller than the tip of your finger AND at 1/10 of the cost of today’s technology. Plastic Is The Answer!
In May Lebby stated that moving forward “Partners” are going to need to see that this technology can “Scale”, well they now have a 10, 25,28,50, with words leaning towards 100 (single). So writing is on the wall for 4x25, 4x50 PAM4 etc, visions of a 4x100, 400 and 800 which are currently barely dreamed of by Data Center Architects. I do not doubt him, he has delivered as promised for Lightwave. After speaking with both Fred and Michael at last years SHM, I came away understanding that they discovered something towards the end of last year, beginning of this one. Funny that just as this happened, Shorts moved in to dilute the supply, IMO big mistake but we’ll see.
Scale means smaller, faster, cheaper, less voltage etc. Lightwave has Plastic (Polymer) material that can be spin coated onto Silicon or InP Combine AND Compliment today’s technology bridging the gap in hybrid devices solving the issues with communications facing next generation data centers. Long term investors here remember a few years back Intel stating that they were moving forward with MultiMode as the solution with the “Customer” making the final call. Remember as we on this board said Nope, Won’t Work, well now everyone agrees that Single Mode Fiber is the solution, which is what Lightwave has been working on all along. Expect to be misled as Industries do not want to tip their hands while Academia likes to tout what has been in that lab but is not necessarily practical in a “business” environment.
Over the past few months we saw Lebby tip his hand with the publicly stated goal of a partnership by the end of this year. For the past 5 years and just prior to joining to Lightwave Lebby headed up multi Million dollar Industry and Governmental studies of the issues facing that Data Centers (Facebook, Intel, IBM, Amazon, Google, etc.) he is well respected and Super, Super Connected, Lives in Silicon Valley and a meeting is as simple as strolling down the street. Do Not Be Surprised to see a Partnership Very Soon, IMO there are a few banging PR’s that will come to light in due time.
Like I said before I’d like to see the formation of a Third Party type ventures with shares being awards to all “Partners” in the Process. Lightwave has a solution and the industry, the entire world, has a huge problem.
Light Replacing Electricity, Plastic replacing Silicon, Light is the fastest thing in the universe and plastic is cheaper than the water in the bottle. Just as Transistors replaced vacuum tubes, Then IC’s (Integrated Circuits) replaced Individual Transistors. PIC’s (Photonic Integrated Circuits) will replace IC’s and Plastic is the key.
But hey the Market is going to do what the market is going to do, if your shares are available others can sell them and pay your broker a fee that is what makes the market go around. A few years back I loaned a few hundred thousand shares to watch the short game play out, interesting to watch. Not worth the ROI on my side.
