Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FDrifting: I've googled it multiple times and I still don't understand what a put is it makes no sense to my tiny brain. A put is the option to sell a stock at a certain price. Say MVIS. I bought the option to sell it at $1. If the price is below $1 who ever owns the sold option has to give me $1 per share of the stock I own if I exercise my option. If the stock goes above $1 the value of the option approaches 0 the closer we get to the time the option expires. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FDrifting: I've googled it multiple times and I still don't understand what a put is it makes no sense to my tiny brain. Options are just that...they are contracts that give you the option to buy/sell at a specific price. A put gives you the Option to Sell at a specific price. If a stock is at $10 today. But you think it's going down to $5, you could buy a $9 Put. It's not really worth anything now, because why would you want to sell something for $9 when it's currently worth $10?. But if the stock drops to $5, you could exercise your Put at which point your option gives you the right to sell the stock at $9. You then buy the stock on the open market for the current value of $5 and then sell it to the writer of the Put for $9 and pocket the difference. The opposite of that is a Call, which is the right to buy stock at a specific price, and you basically reverse the above scenario when the stock goes up. |

Buying options also give you way less risk than buying a stock. However selling options.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By RwithThe40: Why is it shooting up so fast!?? Pumpers have baked together the website bullshit article claiming the MSFT CEO said "the deal is basically done", with a Hololens II webinar being conducted at 1pm EST tomorrow in Florida to manufacture "an announcement". There is a 87% chance it's pure pump...there are several dumpster-fire day trading sites pushing this, never a good sign. Also, after hours trading is notoriously unpredictable, and both sides use tiny, highly inflated/deflated buys to do what's commonly referred to as "painting the tape". They're ginning up what looks like a huge move out of the paper thin volume of after hours trading....though I will admit the AH volume lately has been way above normal, but then so has the day volume. Don't mean to sound overly pessimistic, but the real action is going on behind closed doors and if/when it does happen there won't be any mucking about. In the interim, shenanigans will be plentiful. |

hi i have been following this thread since the beginning. thanks for all the information, esp OP.
what is the best guess at a buyout price? and isn't it dangerous for these internet outlets to publish unconfirmed stock releases? i know the media publishes fake shit all the time, but sometimes they get sued for it. |

Okay, after hours volume is over 8 million shares. That can be indicative of something significant, unless it's not and a metric shit-ton of people bought into the announcement rumor for tomorrow. Seat belts and tray tables up, please.

AH is 13m+
Stock was high volume during the day, but mostly flat. The BS Floridian article came out well well ahead of pre-market today, there was typical MVIS high volume during the day but rather flat, high volume AH with resistance being pushed over. My simpleton mind says this AH is not due to the BS article I posted this morning. The webinar tomorrow might be driving it some. The more I look at Microvision, I’m personally thinking there’s going to be a buyout and it’s wise to hold. Wise to buy even now if you have some money you aren’t worried to lose. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FDrifting: Okay that makes a little more sense. So is an option technically not buying a stock? So say MVIS is hovering around $1 and I buy a put for $.75 and it dropped to $.50, technically I bought a stock at 75% of the price and sold it for a 50% profit? If you bought a put for $.75 cents and the stock falls to $.50 you are still negative $.25. Puts cost you money to be able to sell at a certain price. Today the puts for $1 were costing 20-25 cents. So the break even is about 75 cents. But if the stock starts dropping like a rock people will freak out and start buying puts above the actual break even price so they don't get stuck having to buy shares. |

The only reason to run it up after hours with no news is pump and dump.
It would be way smarter to buy during the day if you knew something was going to happen. |

I bet we see a good rise into the webinar, and a hard dump at about 1:30PM est if it’s not very exciting. Speculating, and I SHOULD dump my 14k shares then if it does... ...or I’ll hold until next week which I think is the wise decision. |

My KTOV hasn't done much but my MVIS is up 22% from my buy in yesterday I'll sell around 1/2 at the open as long as I get $1 or more. The rest can ride KOPN might have some more to go so I'll try to trade that today |
