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've got some money to play with (2k) and I'd like to buy something to take a long position on. What's the best things to look at? Is MVIS still a viable play?

Today we'll end well into 5.5 million territory. This is really starting to look like the ATM to me, let's hope they're only needing to secure like $25 million or we're in for a lot of pain. Then again my predictions have been wrong 87% of the time Well fuck.... the formatting looked good enough while making the post.... pretty much 8th was a 6 mil day but positive price action 14th 15th and Today around 6 mil each day and getting the shit beat out of us |

Certainly follows common sense/logic! Now if you change common sense to emotion/hopium, yea, I'd agree, it fails to follow those. I had 2 very good Buy signals last week between $2.10-2.20, Both of those failed and I lost a couple grand. I knew then MVIS was in serious trouble. |

Going on the ATM theory..... if the 8th was also ATM activity then that would be 4 day with averages of close to 5.5 mil volume ..... subtract 2 mil for normal trading each day would leave around 14 million shares put into the wild by mvis. That would be around $30 million at market prices
There's no way they'd be tapping the entire 150.... maybe an OEM wants 50 mil on hand in which case this trend will continue for 2 or 3 days |
|

Please note all my ramblings are just that, last few posts has just been shit I've been thinking about but have little faith it's accurate.... that said I came across this information in yahoo finance app
Shares Outstanding 195.27M Implied Shares Outstanding 211.07M I highly doubt yahoo has up to the minute information but it's amusing that I estimated possibly 14 mil new shares going out into the wild and the difference between outstanding and implied outstanding is like 16 mil My quick crash course is implied is all shares class A, class B,.etc. I wish I'd been checking that number in the past to see if it's a recent change |

Well my $1.80 buy hit. Was not expecting that.
Maybe need to set another buy at $1.60? |

I know this is nothing new for the MVIS longs but If they're raising capital at a 52 week low they either have a deal and need capital to invest like right now or they have bupkis and they're milking the share price before it goes in the toilet. Latter makes way more sense than the former.
I hope I'm wrong. |

Reddit? I wouldn't be surprised if they are, but where are you seeing "confirmation"? this is the 4th day of unusually high volume, last 3 days were almost 3x normal volume. Usually with high volume you see a price increase, it seems likely that shares are being sold into market. |
|
|
Hence "seems like all but" meaning not confirmed directly but personally the only thing making sense...... post earnings and even ATM announcement things were stable/slightly positive even.
Take away the consistent 3x volume and I could possibly believe just inflation data has caused the massive drops, but factoring in the daily 3x spike that's been going on and I'm not buying this is just markets doing what markets do. |
|
|
Almost 25% of the outstanding shorted. Could it be a short maneuver, preliminary to release of news?

Usually with high volume you see a price increase, it seems likely that shares are being sold into market. I never knew that. its not a guarantee by any stretch but if there is no bad news and institutions are sitting on a large piles of shares which they are with MVIS then a large volume usually means people are trying to buy, when there is a fixed number of shares that means the price would go up. If the company however is selling shares into the market obviously the number of shares is not fixed in that case. |

Could be they're just going in the shitter. On that note, I have a couple bucks left to gamble and put in another order for 500 @ 1.71.

Apply some logic;
If they have enough cash for operations through this year, then they wouldn't need to execute the ATM for that reason. So, if they are doing that, it is for a different reason. What is the most likely possible reason? Next most likely? Some entity wants to manipulate the share price down? They need an urgent cash buffer per terms of a pending deal? What? |
|

I agree it seems that way, but who knows.
If it is them selling the ATM into the market, it's surprising that shorts haven't piled in to further drive it down. I find it interesting that we haven't dropped enough to trigger SSR with the high volume of selling. Are MMs working to limit lending of shares while filling ATM? (shows limited availability of shares, but BM-ARM-DPMS-guns has 200k available to lend and they aren't being lent). @BM-ARM-DPMS-guns Are they still not being lent?

I believe at least to date they've engendered quite a bit of trust from the retail crowd and that goes a long way. I'm sort of in the middle then I guess as far as answering your question. |

This past week MVIS has made me want to light my phone on fire.
Every day I go through the motion of should I uninstall the market apps or should I open my account. I could have bought some shitcoin and been up 10,000% Please atleast stay above $2 It seems like every promo video MVIS puts out causes a death spiral |
