Also consider their capex would be much lower. View Quote Not much opex either, no need for people or salary if not developing and selling the next business line, no need for continuous improvement. $640m divided by 160m shares is $4 a share, after 10 years. Plus maybe a dollar per share cash on hand? Maybe $2.50 per share pv? Not sure what value the shares have towards the end of that period if a tech company isn't leading innovation of new products and methods. |

He's full up on promotion, so I'm taking for granted sharing his work with a wider audience would meet his enthusiastic approval. DD done right. "Here's a quick summary of the IVAS numbers we could potentially see.. Microsoft has been delaying royalty payments as much as two quarters now from what I've seen. Example: Royalties from Microsoft for Hololens 2 Q4 2019 - $82,000 Q1 2020 - $212,000 Q2 2020 - $572,000 Q3 2020 - $539,000 <--MSFT expands to 15 new markets (Sept 22, 2020) Q4 2020 - $395,000 Q1 2021 - $479,000 Q2 2021 - $746,000 <-- assuming we're starting to see the increased royalties from the exapnded markets) According to Intervac, a contractor that is providing CMOS based nightvision for IVAS: 5000 IVAS units order were placed in March of this year (2021), an additional 1,500 units were planned after STP4, and a follow up order of 8,700 units after operational testing has passed Using a conservative 2.85% royalty fee (% of royalties are usually based on the % of the selling price of the units) of on the IVAS price of $22,500... with the 5,000 IVAS units purchased by the US Army, we could possible be seeing an additional royalty revenue of $3.2M from IVAS in the upcoming quarters (who knows when as there seems to be a delay). With $676M worth of orders budgetted from the US Army for FY2021 (or approximately 30,000 IVAS headsets), $19M worth of royalties could possibly be coming down the pipeline for MicroVision from the FY2021 US Army Budget. We also don't know if there is an escalation clause as well in the contract. After they sell X number of units, the royalty increases to 3.5% or whatever. The FY2022 approved budget is currently set at $876M for IVAS. The ever increasing royalty ramp up just goes to demonstrates and validates MicroVision's technology and yes it can achieve big success in a critical, competitive market. A game changer.. especially for the hotly contested LIDAR sensor space to achieve higher safety levels for autonomous vehicles. Full life cycle royalties from the potential $21.88bn IVAS contract value that Microsoft has is potentially worth $623M in the next 10 years to MicroVision." Yup.

I'm a chart noob which needs to change. Many entry/exit points could've been better timed. Too many to list. Doing good overall but want to be doing great. Profit is profit, but if a better understanding of muh charts will increase gains, then it's a no-brainer.
It's been discussed before, but what free app is best for charts? Think Trading View has been mentioned a few times. Doesn't matter if it's beginner friendly or not because I'll bring myself up to speed with books and youtube videos. |

View Quote You are buying the contract and selling one at the same time. Since you have already sold the near one you buy that back and then sell the later one. Now you will be only negative the contract on the next strike date. You will also pick up some more premium. All you lose is time and the cost to trade the contracts. |

So I'm back to a standard roll, which is fine. Sold eight contracts 8/20 @ $16.50 strike for 1.90 ($1520) Buy those back for about $2.55 per share ($2040) (options chain approximate price at yesterday's close, lets use that) Loss of .65 per share at this stage (-$520) Sell to open eight 9/17 @ $13.00 strike for about $1.25 premium per share ($1000) Net .60 per share after it's all said and done ($480) Alternatively, lets say I don't mind those shares at $14.00, and that's what the close is on 8/20. It cost me $2,000 more to be assigned on expiration date rather than buying them outright on the market....minus my original premium of $1520, which means the shares cost me $480 more than market value. Still better to roll them out and then place a limit order to buy them at $14.00 if I really want them. Simple math...unless I forgot something lol. |

Seems we are close to bottomed out and over sold, and the trade show is 9/7 to 9/12 so I may only roll out to 9/10 with the thought we get a little spike that should begin to ebb after 9/10 options expiration. I'll re-evaluate everything tomorrow morning. |

Question for the tax perts'
Let's say my wife and I file jointly. Let's say theoretically our magi for the year is $100,000 putting us in the 22% STCG bracket. However If we realize $100,000 in earnings by selling some stock, will that count towards our magi, as it's outside of our regular income only from our jobs W2? Meaning now our MAGI will be $200,000 thus bumping us up to the 24% STCG bracket? |

Yep, It is considered income. I agree completely that a good CPA is worth the money. I have been hiring a CPA to do my taxes for the last 27 years. And I don't even think twice about the money I pay him.

Also if you gross over $250k filing jointly (this includes gross income + STCG equaling $250k or above as already discussed) you'll be hit with NIIT (Net Investment Income Tax) at 3.8% on the income derived from the STCGs. LTCG are also included in this tax for joint earners making $250k+. Your tax preparer will be able to plug your numbers when you file taxes, your brokerage will provide typical 1099 forms early next year for 2021, and the 5498 since I believe you have a traditional IRA also. With those STCGs, you're expected to pay quarterly because you'll probably be above the threshold from last year. "Safe harbor" should get you out of that for next year, but quarterly payments are still expected. I forego that, and pay the penalty. I can make more throughout the year by using what I'm supposed to pay quarterly than what I'm penalized. You need a tax accountant/attorney, don't listen to me. |

View Quote There's guys here far better than I at explaining them, so all I'm gonna say is read everything you can from them and don't be afraid to try a contract or 2. Lost of good stuff in the past 15-20 pages. That's the only way you will learn. For mvis, I'd be eyeballing the sale of aug 27 or sept 3 $14 strike cash covered puts right now. With the upcoming catalysts in sept, I feel pretty good about owning shares sub $14 per. Another ive done well with is ocgn. Selling $7 puts for the 27th or 3rd would be my target there. |

But by using calls and Puts I'm getting stocks for cheaper than they are listed. Basically I can get paid to set a limit buy/sell. And if my limits don't hit, I get paid anyway. That's how I'm seeing it, and I'm NOT doing stuff on margin or anything super crazy so I can't get burned to the ground. I can lose "profit" by not selling at the highest or buying at the lowest, but if I set parameters I'm OK with then it works out. besides, I can lose money just sitting on a stock so there's no reason not to. |

Easiest for me is to: Sell a Put contract on a stock I want to own/buy (MVIS) at a price I want to pay. OR Sell a Call contract on shares of a stock I want to sell at a price I want to receive. I will on occasion buy calls but never to own shares, only to trade out if the price of the contract goes up. Thats options for me |
