Nice.  Have had a $12.50 bid in since this morning.  Got close, but no cigar.

something sure lit a fire under BRLL the second half of today.  Finished up 56%.  And I'm STILL red on it

Funny, I was just about to make a comment about you having an odd attitude for a long. I do grumpy well on occasion too, though.

We ended down 4%, stable, which is pretty much what I was hoping for. Even better, Luminar ended down 5%, which means this was more of a sector shake than anything else. Velodyne actually made a few pennies, but they've been beaten down harder than most lately.

I assumed he meant dark pools like Instinet.

Well that was fun.  Bought low.....still in the red.

More like HOPs or SKIPs...

More mavis at $13. While I like this buying opportunity I’d prefer not to buy anymore because it went up too much. Am I right.

#metoo

for those that put bids in at $12.50 or whatever, you will get more successful bids if you do off numbers like $12.51, $12.56 instead of $12.55, $12.01 instead of $12 and so on

Thanks for the tip. Why is that?

I would imagine because that 12.01 hits before and gets filled before the guys with 12.00. Kinds like price is right, your bid is just a touch better

It’s just a JUMP to the left...

I would. Well i am.. just my limit buys haven’t hit.

Last i saw sens was 67% shorted so whenever they let up...

Mainly because everyone and their dog will do even numbers and everyone knows this.  There will always be a huge wall at that price point (even number of $.05) and maaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyy times they will run the price to the penny above that and quit just to exclude those walls.  If you just offset your bids by $.01 you will get them filled far more often.  Image $12 is a huge room full of 100 people and you decide to stand there in the crowd, everyone else that walked into the room first will get served first, but if you stand in the doorway at $12.01 you will get served before that crowd of 100 at a cost of $.01 a share.

Same with sells, far better chance to hit a $19.99 than a $20 limit sell.

I learn something new every day in this thread.Off to adjust my limit buys...

$XX.87 is the way.

Buying shares on the dark web man.

I was able to purchase GME at $69.69 during the last run up.

And then a step to the riiiiiight.

Had a bigger buy at 12.72 that also filled.

Something I thought about today as to why so much might be in the red. How many people bought the dip about this time last year? They just hit the one year mark to avoid capital gains and are selling.

I never wished for it to go down, but bought more dip anyway. I had an order set in the low 12s, but didn't reach that, so I canceled and grabbed another 75 shares at 13.14. I'm pretty well tapped out of cash to buy MVIS unless I happen to make a few bucks off of some swing trades. I bought into MASS at 42 today, I feel like I can make a few bucks there.

I must suck at trading, markets green overall, my account is down 2%. Admittedly I have some turds in there.

Something I wondered and posted about before but I don't think was answered.

Let's say I contribute the full $6,000 to my 2021 Roth Ira on 3/21/21. My wife and I salary are well under the income limits on a Roth Ira. Then later in the year let's just say 6/1/21 I sell some stocks that put me at an income of over the Roth Ira limit filing jointly. How is that handled since technically I made all contributions prior to being above the income limit?

Timing of contributions doesn't matter, if your income for the year is over the threshold, you'll need to remove excess contributions to avoid penalty.

I screwed up yesterday and forgot to cancel a limit order at 14.05 ... it executed after hours...

That mistake made me $2k when I rebought at 13.30. Wish I waited longer for $13

Oops, but not sorry

No replying for Osprey but I think less carrot and stick, more curb appeal:
Carrot or stick- if you don’t do A then I will do B
Curb appeal- look how fucking great this is,you don’t buy it, the next guy will...for more$

Regarding limit numbers the same applies on Stop Loss limits. Don’t set them at even numbers or quarters.

We all think that way and the bots prey on that. If you watch the charts and trends you’ll see big blocks of shorts hit right before those quarter points to drive a very quick drop to trigger the sell even farther under your limit.

Lost my internet today got more MVIS @12.93 and five minutes later lost internet until tonight.

I hear Sharma was waiting until we hit page 556 to announce a buyout. We're on track for Merger Monday.

No I need 1 more week!

I'm good for that.  The well is dry.  If things drag out I might average down some more if we cycle a few times.

FOMO got the best of me this week but I'm in the boat with the rest of you for the ride.

Good afternoon, looking for some clarification. I bought some April, May and November call options. Initially I bought some April 20 options and decided to sell a few to turn into a couple May options to give another month for big news. I “sold to close option” and from all my research I’m off the hook from being assigned those shares. BUT when I look back on Robinhood at my other call options and click trade/sell my call options beside potential loss, it says: unlimited. I’m having a mild panic thinking I could get assigned those? But I checked my Robinhood transactions and it says sell to close in the 4 April I sold. Can someone clarify? I have done hours of research on options but the maximum loss: unlimited on Robinhood has me worried.

Can you post a screenshot of the trade and the screen you're seeing?

On my Merrill and Schwabb account the potential loss is just the cost of purchasing the option(s).

Max Loss Screenshot

Sell to close confirmation

The screenshot is the screen for me to sell the options I currently own, not to write new options. I understand writing new options would be “sell to open” whereas I’m “selling to close” my existing options. In my Robinhood transactions the (4) April 20 options are listed as sell to close, which I understand means I’m closing the contract. I’m just confused why in the screenshot above, it says max loss: unlimited

The first screenshot appears to be a preview of selling call options, not a summary of the options you bought. ie. Sell to Open.

I clicked on an option I currently own,
Hit trade, then sell and that is what comes up. You can see under min credit It has 3 contracts, which is what I currently own.

okay who's balls deep on LTNC

we had a great week. I'm up 70% on my initial investment. I've been going back and forth on how to exit this one. I think there is still more moon to bloom. I looked up the company  they bought and ordered the most expensive case of water I have ever gotten in my life
46$ shipped ... They are small so I figure it will be cheaper once they arent a small facility anymore (if)

Figure I better spend some money on the product to try it for myself. Stanthetradingman on Twitter is all about this right now and I don't necessarily feel as long on it as he does being the next Monster or Vitamin water. I'm thinking I might save some what if shares, cash-out principle when it hits 10 or 20 cents. and sell above either one of those. Guess ill decide when  my 46$ water arrives

I’ll add my $0.02 here as I have experience in automotive / equipment product development as a product design engineer as well as a quality engineer for a Fortune 100 company with a market cap north of $100B.

As a design engineer, I worked with reliability engineers to define and execute testing for the products I had designed. For simple things based on mature technology or mature manufacturing processes this was pretty rudimentary. Early in my career you could find my name on prints for coil springs, simple stampings, wire forms, or injection molded parts - we were able to refer to basic DFMEA which was well understood and most of the testing was conducted in the same manner as thousands of similar parts had been tested before.

For complex things that were new or unprecedented in terms of design, this process was very involved and required an advanced level of engagement and understanding of the product at both a component and system level. DFMEA expands exponentially with unprecedented risk and I grew very close to my reliability engineer while working on some fluid dynamics for a complex system based on a new technology for our product. The reliability engineer had to have about as good of an understanding of the system as I did from a design engineering perspective in order to be able to develop adequate reliability goals and testing for the product I had designed. You simply cannot ideate and assess risk for a product or system when you don’t understand “what’s inside the box”.

As a quality engineer, it’s pretty similar on the process side from a manufacturing perspective. We leverage PFMEA for our manufacturing and component integration processes and once again unprecedented development requires a very thorough understanding of the product and processes used to manufacture it.

FMEA of all types are generally understood to be ever evolving, as in the more you learn about your product the more refined your analysis becomes and the greater risk you can confidently mitigate with that analysis.

Much of MVIS tech is well advanced to the point where risk mitigation for any flagship product based on DFMEA refinement would be remarkably wasteful. This would require changes to the product design itself resulting in most of the certification or qualification testing to have to start over in order to revalidate the untested aspects of a modified redesign.

Much of the opportunity for reliability engineering to mitigate risk for these flagship products would exist in their integration to other products. To maximize the opportunity, once again they need to completely understand “what’s in the box”.

The company I work for has subcontracted design engineering roles as well as quality engineering roles. Reliability engineering has always been in-house.

It would make sense for MVIS to have reliability engineering spooled up and intimately familiar with their products for any integration efforts coming down the pipeline. Aggressive timeline? The sooner the better.

I am very curious about what company would be listed under “previous employer” on the resume of the successful candidate for this position.

I hope it tastes real good tidal. In for 49,000 shares aka couple grand  Been great returns so far.

I am hoping the Reddit movement will help the price of silver move higher, I think silver is undervalued and will move higher even without attention.

Fabled Silver Gold Corp is the junior silver miner I think will do well in this market. (FCO.V / FBSGF).



More drill results should be out this week. They have released results for 6 of 30 planned holes and will be done drilling the first 8,000 meters by the end of May.

@jacobsk

That's awesome, and very helpful. Would you mind if I cut and paste it over to R/MVIS? I'll fully credit you.

Also...based on this, is it fair to assume we have a functional prototype?

@Osprey61

Yes I assume everything shared on the public forum is fair game to share anywhere else - I appreciate you asking though. That being said I actually have a preference for anonymity if given the choice.

I don’t really know if the reliability engineering job is indicative of a functioning prototype. I see it more as an indicator that the product is ready for integration into other products, and in this day and age you don’t necessarily need a functional prototype to get that ball rolling.

You do need a product or products to integrate with though

Understand that completely. I have a different user name over there for just that reason.

I don't really understand the distinction in the second boldface...at the automotive design level how can it be ready for integration if it's never prototyped?  Or are you talking integration with other sensors, tied to a functioning ECU and demonstrable as a fully functioning sub-system?

You are Butthole_Don aren’t you.

So close...I actually came over from WallStreetBets and still use POTATO_IN_MY_ASS.

JK! Still pretty funny, though.

I would guess that they have a functional prototype that was larger and fabricated with methods that wouldn't be used in a production setting, and those limitations had impact on the form factor of the proof of concept prototype.  Then they can say, "now we know our never done before laser thingy works so lets design the final form factor OEMs would want."  That design could be ready for integration without actually existing because it's already known how it will interface and how it will work, and the final form factors physical interface can be predicted extremely easily with 3D modeling.

Jumping into this convo because my actual title is "Reliability Engineer" - I know weird!

So the entity I work on/around is a System of Systems where those Systems are created by different entity/developers.
When one or more sub-systems is being tested and/or integrated, stubs for the unavailable sub-systems are used.

This use of stubs also allows off-site developers to validate their work.

Unsure if any of that helps

Just lately I've come to believe the 7th circle of Hell is inhabited almost solely by engineers explaining developmental processes to eternally damned laymen. The few non-engineers are economists.
