Not only that, she can and does file extensions so she can fill it out later. I went over what she listed as her trades for the last two years. It looks like she likes to buy calls that are deep in the money, and then take ownership of the stock when it gets near exploration.  She's adding to positions she already has with the calls you guys listed. Then when it comes time to sell, she sells the stock, or donates it to her or her husbands foundation.

Since we are sharing,small fish but big bucks in my world.

Well it's been an interesting ride this past 12.5 months. First purchase @5.25 in Dec of 2020 right before we started the climb to $28.00. I bought all the way up to $20.95 and back down to where we are now. DCA of 2600 shares is $7.92 and I still have 280 shares in the green by .01...😅

Happy New Year Brother

Here’s to hopefully a better year for all.

I’m on shift, I’d be drinking a few with you all if I wasn’t.

I drink for you

Thanks!  Don’t drink too much for me, I don’t want a hangover in the morning!

okay I will try

but this stuff is to good

49 more minutes in AZ. Here is to a great new year, low cost basis OTCs and new fortunes for all!

hell yes


still raining which sucks

Happy New Years to you as well Brother. You need to take a road trip up north this summer...

Fancy,just Morgan and coke for me tonight. (left over Morgan from eggnog additive)

that was my plan in 2021 but than I had to be in Germany

I am planning on a long Road Trip this year for sure

I finished my Egg Nog and Rum

now I am on to Bourbon - hopefully this will the get the Job done

I finished the nog that is why I moved on to coke...it's SOP for me

Had some nice mortars going off all over the neighborhood. Expensive ones. Nice display over the entire area. Drinking Eagle Rare.

Had a bullet hit about ten feet from me tonight. Had no energy left. Sounded like a rock. I have some sheet metal leaned up next to my deck and all hell was going on around here. Someone had some type of drum fed shotgun from the sounds of it. Anyway I hear thud on steel with no zing.
Good Times, Happy New Year

That's what MVIS is doing to my account, need some WSB action or something.

WSB is probably the worst thing that happened to mvis in 2021.... artificially mooned the price, then you had FOMO going on. People buying in at the pump and missing the dump.

So what happens to the double secret probation meeting?

Invite people at the last minute at great expense and then cancel?  This is how you make friends and influence people.

I feel like we are going to be disappointed before, during and after CES, bigly.

We will all likely be in this thread waiting waiting and waiting for something. I hope I'm wrong. I'm hanging on to Sumits remarks in the IP interview where he says they received lots of RFIs from the OEMs and how he doesn't believe any lidar supplier has a concrete program with any OEMs yet.

I don't know for sure, just guessing.

I personally think adding weekly options and addition to the Russell has had more negative impact. Seems that we started the decline as soon as the options were added and then gained speed after Russell addition.

Why would adding weekly options force the price down ? Or the Russell ?

That is something I can't explain,just something I noticed. Maybe weekly options led to more downward manipulation to keep calls from printing?

Maybe or maybe it would have happened anyway and it just happened to be after the options and Russell changes.

Who knows.

I would agree on the weekly options, but again without anything concrete to back it up...just week after week of what looked like programmed trading pushing the share price under that psychological any-given dollar level. Long term, the Russell inclusion didn't have as much impact as I would have imagined, and they've seemed to have neutered most of the price action out of triple witching, too.

Somebody smarter than me can probably make the case that every call pushed out of the money pushes a put into the money, though, amirite? I actually don't know, my options lesson was several years ago and the scars still haven't completely healed

No idea how the virtual will play out. News conference, followed three hours later by an investors brief. Is that brief going to be invitation only also? I haven't really seen much clarity on that yet. I do keep going back to the message QQPenn got...get on an airplane...not a rehash...this is worth your time and money to be here. A couple of posters on R/MVIS have made it clear to IR since that they've really put their nads on the block with that invitation, but Sumit & Co. haven't done or said anything to dampen down the expectation.

They've run a quiet ship for 20 years, and aren't given to braggadocio. I'm very interested to see where this goes. We've been loading against an early/mid summer run, I don't think anyone (much) expects anything of substance this early.

I agree, and as noted I expect strong movement come late Spring to early Summer. Osprey, any thoughts to an exit point? I want to ride it out past $20 but it will be damn hard to hold off if there’s a spike to the high teens at an earlier date. I’m thinking I can risk up to 50k shares with laddered sells starting at about $17. Of course these somewhat bizarre times could provoke most anything, especially bad stuff. With the 22 elections being around the corner and Dems panicking, anything could rear its head. Long term I wouldn’t be surprised at $35+ share value if most of what seems to be in the pipeline comes to fruition. Just random New Year thoughts.

This is Arf…. $87 a share. Duh.

$87?  Sold!!!!!!!!!

This is the way.

Knowing we were at $28 in April, I'll have a hard time selling for anything less than that. I'm at 1,419 shares with an avg share cost of $12.46 though, so my sell point is probably a bit higher than most of you's that got in early. I told myself I'm not selling til I get into six figures. So currently I need $71/share, which puts the company of a valuation of 12 billion dollars if I do my math correctly. Think I have a better chance at meeting God than that.

Well when you figure Tesla has a market cap of over a trillion.

Almost everything I'm reading is pointing towards the speculative tech market being badly oversold. Problem is...as we're all well aware, the market can stay irrational for a hell of a long time. Were we in anything but a raging inflation, pandemic mongering, floundering administration with mid-terms approaching environment, I'd expect we'd be floating somewhere in the $12 to $14 range. Problem is, with all that added in I'd guess we'll do well to hit $15 with a pretty serious announcement...and that's liable to follow the boom and bust cycle we've seen on previous spikes.

A lick and a promise isn't going to do it this time. For better or worse, MVIS is rapidly approaching it's show-me-the-money moment, and I don't see that happening until mid-summer, no matter what PR is touting. I just laid in 10K shares at about a $5.50 average. If we hit $12 anytime in the next month or two I'll probably flip the lot, and hold my LTCG core for that contract later in the year. I wasted years, and a small fortune, refusing to trade because I was afraid I'd miss the big show. Lesson learned.

This is all worse case, btw, because I don't want to oversell where we are right now. The fear in the market is almost palpable, and MVIS lives out there on the scary edge to begin with. Engineers get light-headed and giggly over new ASICs...I fervently hope Sumit doesn't go live and start trying to sell the gigawatt reduction in red shift on the "B" channel, because WS will yawn and we'll take a beating.

Not being glum, just foot-stomping the very real risk at this juncture. But...me and Mr. Potter are buying

I'm sitting on 1,685 at under $9 currently, I'll gladly take $28 again!

Id like to fund some dual tube night vision binos, a mawl laser/illuminator,  and maybe a clip on thermal.

Need like 20k from mavis.

So this is pretty cool. Allegedly DPLS is building the smart hockey pucks and the rfid tags in the players uniforms. Has an OTC ever accomplished more than these guys?

The Russell index overall is down from 1Q2021, there isn't enough confidence in biden's economy for slammer cap growth stocks.  If BBB is dead and biden has to stop doing stupid things to minimize the mid term destruction, maybe it has a chance of improving, but there's still a lot for the small caps to overcome to rise like they did under trump.

They have a helluva good portfolio with acquisitions and contracts. But they have a shit ton of shares out in the wild. That said, I'd be happy with $3 a share this year.

The number of shares outstanding of the registrant’s common stock on November 12, 2021, was 4,976,669,407.



Only a mere 4.9 billion. If it makes it to $3 I'm out with the quickness.

15 million buyback only puts a small dent in it.  Crazy

Don’t fuck this up, $MVIS.

I mostly ignore the weekend thread on R/MVIS, largely because it's become a ST type forum of hand-wringers and pumpers (they still keep a pretty firm lid on baseless bashing).

Two things of interest this morning, one is a known...S2upid spotted this 204 days ago on LinkedIn, but it resurfaced when the Innoviz CEO started talking about shutter-type Lidar last week. From a senior MVIS engineer's resume:

"Led a proposal and won a contract with an Automotive Tier-1 to develop a rolling-shutter-camera-based laser stereo triangulation 3D depth/range sensor for ADAS applications. Delivered automobile roof-rack-ready hardware and the full software stack to support 3D data acquisition and visualization of the resulting point cloud."

The other is new, and more dot-connecting...but these dots are pretty damn important. Highlighted the relevant portions, but didn't do attribution because they come from multiple posters I'm not familiar with:

1) "Probably nothing, but I noticed that Paul Kuhn, who was Senior Staff RTL Engineer for MVIS, is no longer listed as an employee on LinkedIn and is now listed as a contractor for Microsoft and his description is ASIC/FPGA/RTL Specialist."

2) "Digging into this a bit more… Paul started with MVIS in March 2021. He has multiple endorsements for his skills in FPGA (23 endorsements) and ASIC (13). Let’s be honest here, we are focusing on completing an ASIC. Of his ASIC endorsements came from: Principal Software Engineer of Microsoft, ASIC Design Engineer (for 24yrs) of Siemens, Vice President of Engineering of Starfire Energy, Vice President of Electronic Service Provider, FPGA Development/Verification Engineer of Keysight Technologies, and Distinguished Engineer of Broadcom. I believe MVIS brought him in to do a job and he completed that job in late December 2021.

3) "This would very much fit with what I read in the Innoviz transcript where they had to get their B sample to one of the largest car OEMs in the world by the end of December and they believed they were one of 2 firms left in the running…

4)"The guy seems like a contractor who comes in to do a specific job and then leaves the company again for the next job. All of his employments have a similar timeframe and seem to be development jobs.

If you look at his LinkedIn activity he seems to be still advocating and rooting for Microvision.

If he truly completed that job in just 10 months and the ASIC is completed then I guess we'll found out by Wednesday...

I know I was being, for lack of a better word, dismissive of ASIC engineers last night, but if that ASIC was the last hurdle in a "developmental contract" with a tier 1 automotive manufacturer, it becomes a very big deal indeed. The only real sticking point I see is the timeframe. If the B sample was delivered in December 2021, there's almost no way possible they've had time to evaluate and make a decision...

...which makes it very possible Sumit's big announcement is the delivery of the fully functional B sample to that tier 1. It's great stuff, but not a contract, unless the testing is so far down the road all that was required was a compatibility check to insure the ASIC met requirements. The last piece is something tangential I read yesterday that may play into this also, that Innoviz is very much an upstart (est 2016) with little to no demonstrated scalability and few industry links. They're also using LBS tech, and may be very much open to patent infringement lawsuits. Dunno, but Wednesday is definitely tantalizing.

S2UPID also stated that MVIS has never held a press conference.

Ya'll got me pondering buying MVIS weeklies this week.

So far, my success with MVIS calls is mostly limited to the ones I sold.

I play the lottery when the jackpot is big. $522 million powerball drawing tomorrow. Net payout after lump sum and taxes is $226 million. How does one even invest $226 million? Throw a good majority into an index fund?

You hire professionals

Buy solid stocks that give decent dividends and then just live off that.
Unless you're going to live a life of jet setting, huge beach houses and yachts, no way I could spend that much money
