Bored, and want to live dangerously?
Company I've been in for 14 years is in it's death throes...got pounded by the 'Rona. They own a wall of patents on MEMS laser projection and LIDAR, and just signed an agreement with MSFT last week to transfer manufacture of the light engine in Hololens II to a royalty agreement. The next day 50M shares traded...and there are only 150M shares total for the company. Looks now like they were cleaning up for a sale/merger because... ..."MVIS-Today announced it has retained investment banking firm Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC to serve as its financial advisor as it explores various licensing and other strategic alternatives, including a potential sale or merger of the company." Selling this morning at .22 to .23 a share. Speculation is rampant about what a sale would bring, because potential suitors include MSFT, Apple, STM, Sony and others. Read this thread carefully to see what's going on!...and don't gamble money you can't afford to lose. A reverse-split is also still on the table, and those almost always destroy shareholder value*. ETA: *"destroy shareholder value" is a euphemism for "individual investor loses his shirt". MVIS retains Craig Hallum Full disclosure: I hold 30K shares at an .84 ASP. If they sell for a buck a share I make beer money. If it goes for $5 I make Porsche money. Point is, at .23 right now a buck sale will be a three bagger... UPDATE: CEO just sent out a memo begging shareholders to vote "yes" on the reverse split...heavy implication is they're getting hammered by "no" votes, and the motion won't pass, or is in serious danger. MVIS Reddit is lighting up. I won't pretend to fully understand the repercussions, but it sure is entertaining. If you have proxy voting rights, please use them and support the vote of no confidence on item 3! Go here and do some (non-technical) Reddit reading. Emotions running high. Share is up 28% as I type.

I missed out on a couple thousand shares of MVIS the last time it was at $2 before taking off. Missed it by less than 3 cents. Ended up buying them later for more than $3. |

I am not getting into any movie theater stock. Yeah, the Covid crap is winding down, but how many people are going to not really go back to the theaters much now that their habits are broken?
Maybe they bought that big TV they've been wanting while they were in lockdown.... |

Express Inc. (EXPR) saw a 1000% increase in call options over average this week.
They announced last week they are receiving $140 mil in financing from Sycamore Partners. I know nothing about the company other than they sell clothes, but might be worth watching for a quick in and out next week if interest spikes. |

As people flee the cities the supply in the country will drop while the supply in the cities increases. Also the market supply is being depressed by the government due to the moratorium on foreclosures Once foreclosures start up again I expect prices to drop and banks getting bailed out (again) |
