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.

Reddit Says It Will Cooperate With Law Enforcement If Necessary

Money managers watching the frenzied trading in GameStop shares have been asking one question: Is the action taking place on Reddit's WallStreetBets forum akin to market manipulation?   Users on the forum have shared screenshots of their bullish bets on GameStop and cheered the group's success in driving share prices higher. While authorities have typically targeted investors who knowingly spread false information online, as opposed to groups sharing their intent to send a stock's price higher, experts say regulators do have the means to rein in the latter. Asked for comment, a Reddit spokeswoman said the company's policies prohibit soliciting or facilitating illegal transactions. Reddit "will review and cooperate with valid law enforcement investigations or actions as needed," she said.

In the last year:

We got fucked over by the government under the excuse of COVID.

We got fucked over during the election.

We get fucked over in the markets.

All because the government can change the rules on a whim like a spoiled kid as the banker while playing Monopoly.

If this shit doesn’t wake more people up to the BS tactics of the government and push them to our side, I don’t know what will.

This equally affects people with nothing to lose and everything to lose.  You want a movement? That’s how we unify.

I jumped into ATOS a few days ago and took a beating yesterday and today.

My gut tells me to sit on it. I’ve already taken the loss.

Any insight her from you guys?  

SWBI, OLN, And Ruger are all down. I bought cheap in the Trump years But they should be anticipating max revenues.  

Will the gun stocks keep going down under Biden and the dems?

ATOS has pretty regular spikes if you look through the 5 year chart. So it's just a matter of how long you feel like holding for it to eventually trend back up.

Good.

I hope the big boys are ready.  Time for the WSB retards to put on their best pair of sweatpants, sport big ole’ boners and start wrestling these assholes.

Consumer staples are usually considered one of the sanctuaries during a hard economic downturn...and dividend investing is rarely ever a bad move.

Just remember those dividends aren't guaranteed - you can't set your portfolio on autopilot.

I don't think the dividends are that great with J&J

Exxon pays 7-8%.

Even S&P indexs or spy should pay 1.5-2 %

Everyone sold the news with ATOS, I got caught holding too, but bought at 1.60 so it wasn't a big deal.

They should be around long enough to see another jump at some point though.

Once this GME stuff calms back down the penny stock guys will be back at pumping stock.
