I figured if I want the tools to succeed in investing, I had better educate myself, and now the app. is very useful and I have access to all the stocks I'm interested in.

But doesn't have the advanced features as the big brokers. Basically you can buy/sell stocks/options, and limit buy/sell on RH, plus crypto. |

Montauk Renewables is having a public offering today. Might be worth watching with the new push for green energy coming. Offering closes the 26th.
I'm going to add it to my watch list, not sure I would want to jump right in out of the gate though. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2021/01/22/2162603/0/en/Montauk-Renewables-Announces-Pricing-of-25-9-Million-Initial-Public-Offering.html Montauk has been engaged in commercial-scale development of renewable energy facilities for over 30 years. Getty Synthetic Fuels, the forerunner to one of our existing subsidiaries, built a groundbreaking high Btu landfill gas to energy plant at the CID landfill in Chicago, Illinois in 1980. Our longest tenured employee began working at that facility in 1983. Getty Synthetic Fuels eventually became GSF Energy. Over the years, GSF Energy built some of the largest landfill gas to energy plants in the nation. Montauk acquired GSF Energy in the 1990s and still operates two of those large facilities. Our unwavering commitment to renewable energy began at the inception of the industry and remains today. 100% of our energy portfolio is still derived from renewable energy sources. View Quote |

Strange bid/ask spreads are generally due to market makers pulling their bids when the market is closed. That means people’s stink bids up and down become the market. You can see asks of 9999.99 on thinly traded underlyings often.

Keep an eye on GEVO
Their offering ($8) ends today Currently at $9 and they were $11 before the offering Could be a quick 10-20% flip |

Let's say MVIS gets acquired.
What will happen to the shares we own? |

Originally Posted By Yojimbo: Let's say MVIS gets acquired. What will happen to the shares we own? View Quote It would depend on the terms of the deal. I had LVNGO and TDOC. They merged under TDOC. I got something like 1.579 shares of TDOC for every share of LVNGO, plus $13 cash for each share of LVNGO. These aren't the exact numbers since I can't recall those, but close. |

I'm no expert, though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. View Quote I had a few shares of VSLR (Vivint Solar) last year, they were "Valued" at @ $24.00 a share before they were bought out, the share price ended over $45, it was crazy. Of course i sold my 500 shares when it hit mid $20's as didn't figure it would go any higher and my SP was @ $4.10. so based on that i dont discount $100+ a share if the fever is right..... |

Don't be afraid to take profits and build your account. Trying to time the top will drive you nuts. I'll probably do what I did with ZOM last week. Once I can sell 50-75% of my shares and pull a profit, I'll let the rest ride for awhile and try to maximize it. I was in at .66 with that one, then half out at $1 and the rest was gone at $1.30. Bought back in yesterday and today with a .98 average, so hopefully it moves back upwards heading into March. |

This guy must be a real piece of work. He wants the government to save him?
Citron's Andrew Left is throwing in the towel on commenting on video game store chain GameStop (NYSE:GME) after getting attacked from investor community on his short thesis on the shares, including alleged attacks against his family. Left, in a letter posted on a new Twitter account he created, writes that "What Citron has experienced in the past 48 hours is nothing short of shameful and a sad commentary on the state of the community." Left became the target for criticism from long investors after posting a YouTube video yesterday on downside case for the shares to $20. Gamestop shares have more than doubled, climbing 174%, in almost two weeks, including a 14% increase today. He continues in the letter that he has stopped commenting on GameStop because an "angry mob who owns this stock has spent the past 48 hours'' allegedly committing crimes that Left will turn over to the the FBI, SEC and other governmental agencies. He adds that he hopes the government will step in and eliminate this issues for other market commentators "whose families get terrorized by people who naively think they are anonymous," Left wrote in the letter. GameStop short interest is 151%. |

If it's cash+stock with maths, they'll come up with some ratio formula and convert MVIS to whatever the acquiring company stock is. |

For all you day traders/short positions, I see a lot of jumping in and out of the same stocks. Do you also consider tax implications? I usually hold for longer periods but recently learned you can’t realize a loss if you buy the same stock within 30 days.
(Funny enough, you do realize a gain of you make money on the stock and buy it again within 30 days... house always wins I suppose) I wonder what this spring is going to look like when people start learning the tax implications of last years quarantine stock purchases. |
