Oh and go MAVIS

Came here to post DPLS!

I’m only sitting on about 2,700 of DPLS so hoping for $100-$150 a share range.

Damn, missed the open.  

Think you have a better chance of seeing God than that happening!

You're no fun

You big baller.  1,700 here.  

These are some really outrageous comments!

I don't understand the ongoing battles at the dollar-up thresholds. It must have some slight psychological impact, for sure, but the short interests throw an usual amount of fire at those breaks, and from what I remember did so prior to the weekly option trade on MVIS.

They're bound to have the evidence to support the fight...I'd bet they're considered the most vulnerable spots to break momentum.

On the more substantive front, shamelessly cribbed from R/MVIS (but you knew that) concerning a very serious sounding group of people, The Close Combat Lethality Task Force. Only marginally too long for my garage band's new name, dammit.

The bolded portion is where I live...not much speculating, hard experience speaking to opportunity.

"Posted on LinkedIn by Stephen LaRose - Gunner, Close Combat Lethality Task Force from the Office of the Secretary of Defense:

We were able to get the current Director of the Close Combat Lethality Task Force (CCLTF) out to see IVAS (Integrated Visual Augmentation System).

I can’t thank SGM Vern Daley enough for the time at PEO Soldier and the entire IVAS team. What we are learning from IVAS will only benefit the close combat community writ large.

IVAS will certainly create second and third order opportunities for improvements to close combat lethality and survivability that would have seemed impossible two or three years ago. There still is an overwhelming need for resource investments to move the close combat forces towards gaining and maintaining tactical overmatch over our pacing threats.

The second and third order affects of IVAS on furthering lethality and survivability programs that address the gaps in the Strategic Portfolio Review conducted by the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation office (OSD CAPE) is where the CCLTF remains focused.

OK, was reading through some of the r/MVIS commentary and this made me laugh out loud.  I had to share.

"Dear lord baby Mavis may your price shoot higher than Jeff Bezos penis shaped rocket so that we can all prosper and quit our mind numbing jobs and also so that those of us with dogs can provide them with a bigger back yard."

I set a stop limit for MRNA to trigger at $465.

It hit $464.18, I stopped out at $465.02, and now it is back up to $470. Figures.

Oh well, profit is profit. I won’t complain.

DPLS - Well at least I'm not losing money like many of my other recent picks!

Not sure we will get to $100 but I'd be happy for anything over 20 cents.

I read that in Ricky Bobby's voice.

Red is not my favorite color.

The rising tide of blow-by-blow, thoughtless posting on R/MVIS is numbing, but this is as close to a common man's Lords Prayer as I've ever seen.

Full marks.

Shareholder vote for  official company motto?

I wanna go fast

That's the was artificial intelligence/machine learning works.

Dammit, Mavis.  Get your ass back above 16!

NSAV may be an interesting play.

Evidently, the price cratered because they missed their launch of the crypto exchange yesterday and the CEO is stepping down.  If the fundamentals haven't changed it makes me wonder if the price is unreasonably beaten down.

In all seriousness, I wonder about that very thing.

From a charting perspective, whole numbers are typically a psychological barrier. From that perspective I wonder if the machine has "learned" that or been programmed to take it into account.  Realistically, I would think the points for MVIS should be on the Moving Averages or even at the 19.99 mark....not at the interim dollar marks.  It also marks prospective "break points" for option contracts since they are priced at .00 and .50 marks.

I don't really know what to make of it.

One thing to note, MVIS does actually have a decent number of hedge funds as investors so I tend to discount, mildly, the idea that the hedge funds are beating it down.

This made me lol alot.

The 50 cent spread in options for SENS is really not ideal. Premiums sorta suck.

I'm not smart enough for the AI/ML crowd

I just know enough to get into trouble. I have a few things at work that have been going in the "remove human intervention" direction for a few years. It is Terminator scary at times.
I'm on the cusp of a new assignment and may be out of pocket/regular contact for awhile, we'll see.
If only MVIS, SENS, and DPLS can all hit big at the same time I can quit the day job

Tried to buy a little (1000) just out of curiosity. TD AM. rejected my effort.

"Opening transactions for this security are not accepted."

In general you can count on two types of people in the world:  Stupid or Lazy.

Think of this from a programming background if you can:  The users bosses meet with the programmers and say they want the program to control a price between a hi and low setpoint.  They also want notifications or warnings to pop up at preset limits.  Programmer says: SURE!  no problem.  Even gives them 3 decimal places of accuracy for those numbers.  Everybody is happy!

Now we get to the actual daily users - who are lazy or don't really care about 1/100th of a penny.  Most of them are not going to actually do anything unless a stock moves a $1 or maybe even down to 10 cents ($0.10).  Market noise and just general activity drives that.  You also have folks issuing stock guidance that typically only do that in round numbers or maybe down to the nearest 10 cents.  (Nobody cares of AMZ stock is $495 or $495.50)

So while the programs and actions COULD be controlled out to three decimal places the practical aspect is that you get round numbers for high value stocks and maybe 10 or 50 cent increments for penny stocks.  This is why it feels like we have those barriers at .25 cent, .50, .75 or $1 values.

Only way to really tell is if you could see the input data on the control points.  

ETA: we had the same problem in our control systems when we configure them.  The Chemists want everything out to 3-4 digits and write the control parameters to be something like 34.563 lb/min or something.  Then the actual operators get ahold of things.  You're lucky of you even get close to 34.0.  Could be 32 or even 38.  You ask why and they respond: meh, it runs better there and we are still in spec limits.  doh!!!

Too many of these damn brokerages are nannies when it comes to anything that looks like a meme stock to them.  They shouldn't be able to decide what you can and can't invest in, as long as you're doing it with settled cash.

Dpls was looking real good but is bar coding big time now.

@BM-ARM-DPMS-guns

I just had that exact same thing happen to me!  I wrote them an email with an ultimatum.   Have you gotten anything as far as a reason for this - it seems to be random as I trade OTC stocks all the time.  This is twice I've been blocked.

Same message I got trying to buy it yesterday.

No other reason given. It’s a first for me. Plenty of cash coverage for this “beer money” size buy. Weird.

According to my level 2 data...there is a 400k buy at .096 and a 325k ask at .0968....it's the strangest thing I've seen.

Just walked by a TV in another office tuned to CNBC market show.
They had a meme stock graphic up with GME, something else, KOSS, and MVIS.

We are never going to shake the stink of r/WSB off, it really sucks

Etrade does the same; it's not about you but the stock, they consider it not legit enough and block it.  etrade has been blocking SNES the same way, and it's not even OTC

I just bought 10,000 with Schwab.

I'm holding off on selling any since I missed the open.

I'm just gonna hold what I got, for now. This dip will last a minute so I'll load up some $ and be ready.

Buy high!  I've been doing it wrong this whole time.

I sold one 2.50 put because I was disgusted, but still a buyer at 2.50. The premium was under 10$ lol.

Saving my cash for MVIS puts I guess.

They are blocking SENS, that's fucked up.   SENS even has options and is on the Russell.
