Options Gurus - say I have some MVIS April 15c. If we get into the $20-$25 range on news, but I anticipate the price going higher late in the year (should a strategic investment, merger or buyout not happen by April call expiration) would it be wise to sell a few of my calls for profit and then turn that money into exercising a couple more of my call options and buying the shares at $15?

THANK YOU. The fact that your explanation is not only plausible, but understandable leads me to believe you're not an engineer, but qualified to play one on television.

Seriously, I'd bet you're pretty close to the mark there.

Just to be clear, I am NOT an accredited Engineer, nor do I have an Engineering degree.

I was a lowly programmer who was submitting his work to the Systems Engineers when I opened my mouth.
About 25 years ago I remember saying that's dumb you should do it this way and boom, I became a System Engineer.

But really it is an over-used title in the IT world

Prototypes, can you prove your product works (Meets specs) with a prototype? Yes. Can you prove it lasts long enough with a prototype? Well you could, but everyone knows that prototypes are built as close to perfection as possible, hand made if you will.

Can it be mass produced economically while maintaining the same reliability expectations as the (hand made perfection) prototype? This is a big part of reliability engineering.

So if a flagship prototype works as it’s expected a big next step is right around the corner.

In an industry which designs products to last hundreds of thousands of miles and thousands of hours, full life expectancy field testing can only be accelerated so much.

Yes there are 2022, 2023, ‘24, and easily ‘25 model year cars driving thousands of miles OTR right now in order to prove out reliability.

You can’t speed up time, and 5k hours is 200+ days of driving 24/7 no matter how you look at it

With that in mind, will manufacturers sign contracts for product year '23 through '25 automobiles without those impossible-to-accelerate reliability tests? Is that why so many of them are signing "exploratory" contracts with these Lidar SPACs...to hedge their bets?

Yeah, I'm thinking this means more margin calls are coming/here, and more big sell-offs. I'm guessing there will be a ripple effect?

I don't know enough to know. I mainly thought it was interesting and worth noting.

NMGRF has applied for a NYSE uplist.

The reverse split is supposed to happen this week also in preparation for it. I wish I had some more gas in the tank so I could keep loading up.

88 Energy Shares in London Rise as Alaska Project Shows Potential
4:14 am ET March 29, 2021   (Dow Jones)   Print

By Adria Calatayud

London-listed shares in   88 Energy Ltd . rose Monday after the company said data from its operations in the North Slope of Alaska indicate multiple potentially hydrocarbon-bearing zones have been found.
The energy company said oil shows were recorded over multiple intervals in the Nanushuk formation while drilling the Merlin-1 well, and that mud gas peaks were also recorded.
88 Energy said the results are considered encouraging. Further measurements will start shortly to confirm whether mobile hydrocarbons are present, but it won't be possible to define whether a discovery has been made until wireline logging has been completed and interpreted, the company said.
Shares in London at 0805 GMT were up 11% at 1.95 pence.

So who thinks this was the driver of the slump all of last week??  Banks and other investors getting wind of this and front running it.  Then the cascade effect of other funds and retail folks scrambling to cover their losses.  $20B in a week as a cash out and not just lateral moves is a pretty big deal.  I can't think of any good impact (other than creating some fire sale prices after things stabilize) of pulling that much money out.

Minerco Closes On Domestic Acquisition in Ann Arbor, MichiganPress Release | 03/29/2021

Company predicts significant growth as they prepare for the opening of their first U.S. physical location

ANN ARBOR, MI / ACCESSWIRE / March 29, 2021 / Minerco Inc. "The Magic Mushroom Company" (OTC PINK:MINE) ownership announces today that they recently finalized a lease on a prime location that will enable them to enhance their domestic operations. As a result, the company has successfully accomplished all four goals they set at the Sankofa Summit on January 21, 2021 with the recent property acquisition.

This was a strategic maneuver by the company as Ann Arbor's local policy allows for psilocybin decriminalization. By establishing a presence in a market that has already expressed interest on the benefits of psychedelics, Minerco ownership expects to produce medical mushrooms strains like Chaga and Lions Mane as well as begin testing the waters for Psilocybin in the first decriminalized location in the Midwest. Ann Arbor Michigan has led the charge in Cannabis now psychedelics.

Minerco CEO, Julius Jenge, issued the following statement:

"Fortune handed us this nearly pristine opportunity to acquire this storefront in a market whose local policies will allow us to expand our operations seamlessly. As we continue to raise awareness towards the nationalization of psilocybin and cannabis products, it is crucial for us to focus on concentrated, high-traffic areas where local laws are a non-issue for us to build a strong base in assisting us with our greater mission."

I don't have direct automotive industry development experience, but 2023 and 2024 seem incredibly aggressive from a systems integration standpoint.

MVIS is at prototype phase.  Must scale component production and integrate in the applicable system.  2025 to 2027 seems more realistic for this generation tech.

I welcome correction.

20b isnt much of shit for the us stock markets... thats what maybe an hours worth of trade?

Now i dont have tv anymore but if this gets played up by mainstream media to be some huge hoo-ha then maybe itll have another, and larger effect by brainwashing and forcing ill advised to make terrible and short term decisions... i mean i dunno i guess it could be worse... but again all that would just play into big moneys hands as the thin skinned sell shares cheaply to big money so they can fuck the little guy a little harder a little longer.  I swear the non stop fuckery by big money has been off the chain this year. So many newbies and theres nothing wrong with that except they’re being played hard and these swings and volatility get annoying ... jump here! Jump there! Quick move again! Oh wait! What im really tired of is all the negativity and pessimism over nothing. In fact the overall market conditions should be massively improving as industries and sectors reopen ... 20b in the stock market? Lol!
20b focused in some shitty chinesium crap and mainstream media stocks? Fuck em. They’re shit anyway.  Ripples?? Marginal... an hours worth of trade whatever.
Will this be blown out of proportion? Maybe... ughhh

Lidar down across the board today but MVIS leading the fall.  Bought more.  I have been able to double my position over the past two weeks or so at a significant discount.  Not mad about that at all.

Yahoo Finance is killing me. Headline "Stocks Dip as Market take a Breather Before Jobs Data".

Three months ago it would have read "Trump Destroys US Prosperity with Absolute Lack of Corona Response".

I kind of though refloating Boaty McBoatFace would cheer up the traders. Looks more like one of their hedge funds bursting into flame has them spooked.
