We'll see My dad is holding too. He bought in right after I did the first time. He pulled off 7,500 shares at .24 and when we hit 1.60 a couple weeks ago I was sad I didn’t sell. Went over to his house the next day and warned him to be careful and get out if he feels pressure. He said no way, he’s holding it for a while lol. I said “Dad, quit listening to me on this stock and listen to me”! Of course my outlook has completely changed on MVIS since then. I’m probably not getting out unless forced. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Nick_Fury: FYI - EQM cut their dividend. It's still a healthy 7.6%, but thats half of what they were paying.

If you buy and hold, the stock effectively sits there and prints money; roughly 10% a year return. Incorrect. They paid right at 10% (annual) based on the price at the time of the declaration, for the last quarterly dividend. The stock has just gone up significantly since, which causes the appearance of a lowered div percentage until the next one is issued. But historically, they pay around 10% (or more) annually. |

ERX is going up yuge (relative to it being an index fund) today. +7% as of now. 3m or so back, it was valued 10x higher in price. This is what I keep 1/3 of my investment in now.
As for my other moves today, bought in to nndm again at 2.50$ and sold it maybe 5 min later at $3.35. Unfortunately I only had $400 available to grab it during premarket. Got into SHIP around today’s low. I missed that damned stock offering news so not very confident on how that will shake out, although NNDM did the same crap this morning and it’s already back to yesterday’s prices. |

I voted against the R/S, and lost. Nobody could make a legitimate financial argument to me that the split was needed when we have almost 90 more probation days before delisting from the NASDAQ. CEO said he needed it to be able to negotiate "from a position of strength" that MVIS would remain a viable company....never made sense to me. Not viable (right now, anyway, that shutdown on talk about the I-P customer status (the customer presumed to be Amazon) peeked my interest pretty good yesterday) anyway, as it stands.
From my reading, as it turns out sometimes companies with high stock price valuations (MSFT is at about $185.00) prefer to do stock swaps in lieu of cash, even when they have $185B sitting in the coffers. The closer to parity the two stocks are, the easier it is to value at a given multiple...at least that's the common wisdom. Something to do with justifying the buy-out price to MSFT shareholders and not looking like you're being cheap to MVIS shareholders, but more importantly, spending your investors inflated shares instead of your hard cash. Still not sure it passes the sniff test completely, but since I don't do corporate M&A...I'm willing to listen. MVIS is highly likely to go into the cone of silence if they're in negotiations right now, and if they hold that R/S for 90 days because the share price won't budge and the hedgies keep breaking the $1.00+ streak it could be a lonnggg comm-out. Warning the new guys, before the "poke it with a stick, make it do something" memes start multiplying. You may want to be patient here...or you may want to go chase the latest rumor on XXXX, your call. Told my wife I may hold our trading shares, which didn't make her happy at all. It's a hard call...give up the single thousands I might make along the way, but risk an announcement dropping while I'm waiting for a dip to resupply. Hmmm. |

More than willing to wait.
Just so used to seeing this move, although I haven’t been out. What you said about the stock, I hope that’s the case. I don’t need this money right now, and if waiting a year gets me out to long term gains I’m okay with that. On top of that, three of the big names that are a possibility, I’d LOVE to let their stock ride for a bit, too. They’ve all had nice gains over the last year. |

BTW, the NASDAQ will send a letter to MVIS telling them they're back in compliance on the corp's market cap. That's only half the requirement...still have to do the ten days over $1.00. MVIS will file a Form 8X announcing the market cap (not a ploy, think it's a legal obligation) fulfillment, but don't get excited, it's just a formality that's mostly already priced in.
Looks like we're trading in a .03 range, which usually means the individual investors have mostly staked their turf and the bots are waging their .0001 wars. One day they'll make this shit illegal... In the meantime, if you're looking at an entry point it will most likely come at the end of the trading day when the shorts/hedgies make their move to go sub-$1.00. After hours trading and the pre-market DO NOT count towards compliance, only the regular day trading close (4:00 EST). I've said it before, also, but don't get worked up over AH and PM price spikes and valleys, lots of people painting the tape - UNLESS that spike is accompanied by huge volume, at which point you need to be looking for announcements that are often done AH to keep from tripping circuit breakers. |

I could hold and pay 1/2 the taxes. Keep in mind that I'm sure anyone who would acquire MVIS would have also been busy with lots of share repurchases during the covid crisis. So they buy us for $2billion using their own shares which they bought at a 40% discount during the covid crisis. Now their purchase price is effectively making their out of pocket cost $1.2billion. I want long term capital gains rates so I can hold the new stock until next year and take the profits out over 5 years. I save enough in capital gains to buy a vehicle. |

@IceStationZebra, you seem to have a really good handle on the tax implications.
Assume every share I was holding was long term capital gain at the time of the deal, and the entire deal was a stock swap. Do I have to hold the MSFT shares for a year before selling to class them as LTCG, or do they take that status from the MVIS shares they replace? If they would automatically be taxed as STCG if you sold at less than the year point, it seems like the IRS is cheating you of your status, but maybe I'm just naive. |

If they would automatically be taxed as STCG if you sold at less than the year point, it seems like the IRS is cheating you of your status, but maybe I'm just naive. @Osprey61 I'm a CPA and Enrolled Agent, so I guess I had better. Best case is a stock for stock. Your basis in the old becomes your basis in the new shares and you keep your holding period. So if your shares were bought a year or longer before the acquisition closing dates, you're already long term and get the max rate of 20%. Any shares you bought recently would need to be held a year from the date you purchased MVIS stock to get the favorable capital gains rates. The short term capital gains rates are 10%-37%. Next best, same answer except you get stock and cash. You would report the lesser of the realized gain (value received - basis) or the cash received, whichever is less. So you would allocate the cash between shares held >1year and <1 year for purposes of the short/long term. Worst case, all cash. Then I'm screwed and--based on presumed sales price--i have to report a huge gain as a STCG. With my salary and the gains I would be screwed tax wise. So I'm hoping and praying for a stock for stock. |

Your basis in the old becomes your basis in the new shares and you keep your holding period.

I say we, it's actually my wife, who's a retired book-keeper and obsesses over taxes. I'm more of the "big-picture" guy when it comes to that end of it, meaning she shakes her head and tries to keep me from making really bad decisions with the technical aspects of money |
