Up $15k on my $335p, down $13k on my $325p.  Hoping to close the $325p on a bounce (there must be a bounce right?)

I understand they lost some subscribers, but it is currently at the 12/2018 low.  I mean really?

So you're up a couple k there. Did you lose 1.5k or less on the calls?

Maybe you'll get lucky and somebody will exercise the 325p early.

1.  This type of award is becoming increasingly standard for NEO/Executive equity compensation.  One unique piece that I saw in MVIS' proxy though, is that the three recipients have agreed to forgo any other long equity awards during the performance period - that's not something I've seen before.  Doesn't seem to exclude spot type share bonuses, but not sure there.

2.  I'll be really interested to see the fair value assigned to these awards.  Performance based equity awards that are contingent on the satisfaction of a market condition (anything tied to share price) are valued with a Monte Carlo simulation.  Once valued, unless the award is modified (contract terms changed), that is the value that the company expenses on its financial statements.  The Monte Carlo simulation is used to incorporate all theoretical outcomes and their probabilities including over and under performance of the target.  Due to the potential for over performance and thus additional shares being paid, the fair value from the simulation assigned and expensed to the awards is often higher than the grant date per share value.  By how much can possibly give some insight into the assumptions used in the model (which is predicting potential stock price paths).  Unfortunately, the disclosed fair values will be weighted across all tranches, but you could get a sense/try and model out a couple scenarios that the company and their consultants/legal used in anticipating share price movement.

3.  The proxy mentioned that the 6mm shares (at maximum payout) allocated to the PRSUs would not cause dilution if the price targets are not met and no shares are paid out.  That's accurate.  However, due to the above mentioned Monte Carlo simulation taking into account all possible outcomes, including the probability of no pay out at all, if the recipients meet the service condition of the awards (they stay employed through the vesting dates), yet the share price doesn't hit any thresholds, the company still has to take the expense for the awards.  Typically the awards are issued at target (2.4 mm shares by my math) and a fair value assigned.   Lets just say that it's $6 for arguments sake.  This means that even if no shares are paid, the company will take a share based compensation expense of $14.4mm for these awards.  Amortized over the next three years that's ~$1.2mm per quarter, which isn't the end of the world, but for a company with no significant revenue, it can make the reported numbers/EPS look worse.  I call this out because market based performance grants are different from other RSU/Option/Non-Market based performance awards, for which the company only recognizes expense for shares/options that actually vest.  Just something to keep an eye on.

@cmsnare, geo wants to do a full R/MVIS thread on the proxy. May I send this to him privately? I can attribute it to you or not, as per your preference.

I put one in premarket at 3.39, then changed it to 3.43 as I had to go away for an hour. so missed the market open and of course bought it a bit high.  Doesn't matter in the scheme of things when Sharma pushes the price to $36 those couple of cents won't matter a bit.

I can make you feel better.  In 2013/2014 I bought tens of thousands of shares of ERBB (weed craze happening).  It spiked up but I got greedy holding for more, and then the pump was done.  Next, they did a reverse split, like 10,000 for 1, and I ended up with 6 shares with cost basis of $43.  Still holding to this day and, not long ago I bought 25,000 more.  I keep this bag to remind me how long one can hold bags.  I still think something will come of it. they make a little progress here and there.

I sold MU 7 times on the first 5 min. bar. 50% of my shares.

I've used some of those funds to buy UPST, MVIS and yes--SHOP.(seems like a better buy here than your $580 earlier.)

MVIS is a buy for me here:

It's unusual to fill that big of a lot @ the low.

Usually when price is hammering on a # like $3.27, today, I make smaller buys(less than 100) they have a much higher fill rate.

ie. buy 10 lots of 50 instead of 500, etc.

All you guys that do smaller lots of buying, such as 25 or 50 shares at a time, how do you go about quickly selling those? On Fidelity at least, you can select specific tax lots to sell based on date acquired, cost basis, or quantity of shares. The you need to click a checkmark next to each lot you want to sell. And at that time it asks you if you want to apply the full lot for sale. This is tedious and time consuming, and I'd assume one wouldn't have enough time to sell the specific shares you want during a spike. So a side from just selecting sell all shares, I don't see how you could sell specific lots of shares in the event of a quick spike. Sure you could set a limit sell but Fidelity caps you at a max percentage of the current share price.

I use the presets that are already there - FIFO, LIFO, LOWCOST, HIGHCOST, TAX EFFICIENT, etc.  - these are quick and easy.   TDA doesn't seem to have a provision to sell specific lots or shares, at least after they settle, at least I can't find how to do it.  I monitor 3 accounts that are linked, so sometimes I've transferred some shares from one acct to another so I could then use LIFO on the 1st acct.  There is certainly a way to sell particular shares I would think but I can't find it.

Call and talk to your broker, but most houses let you select the lots to assign to the sell up to the settlement date.  The thinking being that you don't want to miss a trading opportunity fiddling around with choosing lots before hand, and the shares aren't actually delivered until settlement anyways.  All brokerages I know will not allow you to update the lot after settlement, unless you'd previously provided instructions that were not correctly implemented.

Some will even let you update this online post execution by viewing the list of executed trades and then there's an option for cost basis assignment.  This is different for each platform though, so again call your broker.  

Did I mention call your broker?  If not, the other benefit is that usually you can ask them to do the lot assignment over the phone.  This may or may not be easier depending on their web based tools, but is usually an option so long as the trade has executed but not settled.

Right on. I was planning to grab some more after EC. Maybe I'll buy a small lot before then. I just figure it'd tank on earnings. My second biggest MVIS mistake was not waiting long enough to buy back in, right after not dumping everything at $20++.

I think this is a good buy price, but also think it'll get better (or worse depending on perspective).

Don't know if this is what you are looking for but go to "my profile" then under the general tab and it has tax lot options you can edit for FIFO,LIFO ect.

Help me out here Cajun, I'm in for 1000 if the pps stays under $4, another if it drops under $3.
My 401k rollover funds are sitting at my broker who graciously placed an 11 day hold on it.
Of course it settles on the 26th.

Do you still think we'll see the post EC dip?

I also have a buy sell order in for a $3 strike put, 27 May @ .46 (a $2.54 pps).

If you're on the TD app, go to "accounts" and then "positions", scroll to the bottom and select "see cost basis", then click "unsettled closed positions" on the right side. You should see your sale there and be able to assign specific tax lots.

Think you have a one day window to assign. So if you sell on a Wednesday, the transaction should show up in "unsettled closed positions" on Thursday for you to adjust if needed, and then on Friday off they go to the buyer.

That it's even being floated is confirmation of clown markets.

Based on your wording it sounds like you want to end up with those shares at $2.54 per. If so, I think you need to sell the puts, not buy them.

This from the guy who once accidentally sold puts instead of calls. Thankfully I caught it quickly and closed the position even. Anyway, just hoping my lessons can help you out too.
