Something Joe found and posted on ST yesterday:
A New Dawn for Semiconductors. How Atomera Leads the Charge

.

[roadkilll]

That was the expected nothing burger presentation at the Needham conference. Day traders will now play their games and I suspect a lower stock price is coming.

[Theo]

a new tone on something that reveals real progress that a long time investor understands being significant

Precisely.
I waited for a bit to see if Scotty would release anything tonight after hours to justify today's action, but that didn't materialize.
I wasn't holding my breath, regardless, as I was sure (and still am) that it's still the same momo crowd speculating.

I'm already signed up and will be watching tomorrow to see if we get a bone tossed to us in any meaningful measure...

Needham conference presentation scheduled for tomorrow. Presentations are usually nothing burgers but plan to tune in and hope Adam has a new tone on something that reveals real progress that a long time investor understands being significant.
.
These presentations at conferences do have limitations;
According to SEC regulations, a public company cannot release significant news at a conference without first issuing a press release to the public, as this practice is considered "selective disclosure" and could violate fair disclosure rules, ensuring all investors have access to material information simultaneously

I, originally thought "leaking news" too. In fact, I'm still not so sure that it didn't start as a result of some "fly-on-the-wall" insider institutional interest- (we'll find out eventually once the 13Fs get filed.) But then all of a sudden there was a lot of chatter and a gazillion new posters popping up on cyber chats and what-not. Either way, at this point, I still believe the stock is heavily influenced by "players" given the low float volatility, but that doesn't negate the possibility that the moves could prove to be accurate and legitimate irrespective of the "players" games. They could be just getting lucky lol!

This is precisely why I didn't and won't chance trading my long term position- only my Options.Well, I have had several small trading positions over the past couple of years that I've flipped, but those only amounted to a few hundred shares and "profits" were added to my long position.

I'm done being patient. We need AND deserve a lot of updates at this point imo...😒

Thought the recent price momo might be related to news leaking from the labs.

[roadkilll]

Would like an update on Sandia National Laboratories results on GaN on Silicon
Did tests on Sandia equipment validate MST would be a significant improvement in the field. Thought the recent price momo might be related to news leaking from the labs.

[Theo]

I can be stubborn as well but I've been burned in the past so I've learned- at least more than when I was younger...lol

This 10% daily drop has not yet shown me that the bag-holders (late-comers to the momo run) have stopped
looking for the exits. I'm hoping to tag some July $10 and $15 calls and might consider April's $7.50 and $10 Calls
if they come back in to my target 😏😉

The Needham conference may offer better insight and I will re-evaluate my price targets on those Calls come Thursday...

[ktcougar]

Still holding half of my April's.....In hindsight I wish I would have sold them all. :(

Grabbed some Feb. $15 and $20's lotto's last couple of days. I would expect some sort of news before they expire. I did add some commons at $12....way too early but I'll probably grab some more soon.

You played it well.....I usually have decent timing on the buy end(on options) but still have a hard time letting go. My wife says I'm too stubborn lol.

[Theo]

To maintain credibility, I now have to admit I have also sold all of my April $7.50 Calls as well. I really thought there was a chance that Scotty "might" come through right after the first of the year with news. That didn't happen and I don't see that happening now in the short term either. I stated several times from the beginning of this recent run that I felt there were many "players" involved and it felt like a momo play was fueling the run. It was textbook.

That said, my long position is still intact (and will remain that way) as I have no doubt that we will eventually get the updates we need to maintain double digit pps. Until then, gotta play the game- and I will. I made a nice chunk of change and plan on doing it again. Once the options begin reflecting true value and not the momo price action, I will again begin builiding my portfolio with longer dated just OTM Calls and will add a few more shares as price permits...😉

I sold ALL my January Calls but none of my April Calls.
Momma didn't raise no fool...😉

second...whats wrong with the first one?

[roadkilll]

Selling 2/3 of position. Long term that 1/3 could buy me that second yacht I need for the Mediterranean

[ktcougar]

Yeah, that good feeling from selling last all of 5 minutes lol.

kt

[Theo]

LOL!, now I kinda wish Ida held on to my Jan Calls a little longer 😁

[ktcougar]

Just sold the rest of my Jan.  What a ride. Still have all my April's. Timing my sells in options has always been hard for me but it helps that all the Aprils are ITM. Actually a pretty big relief that my Jan 's are gone as a few of those were still OTM.

kt

[Theo]

Yeah, it had to consolidate as the cartel ran it way too fast lol! The huge short
buying the past 2 weeks shoulda been a huge red flag as it ran up. It's a
no-brainer for them. IF, I was a "shorter", Ida taken a position once we hit $10, $11 $12
on nothing (no news). I don't have the stones (nor the capital) to risk such a move lol.

I'm convinced there's been some legitimate accumulation and maybe even
Franky taking advantage of the run and tapping the ATM. The rest, to me, is
simply a lesson in trading 101. The playbook has NOT changed in the last
30 years I've been trading 😏

I'm actually looking forward to some long-dated Calls coming back within reason lol!

Happy New Year to you as well!

[ktcougar]

Nice consolidation around $12. RSI down to around 76 after hitting 90.....it needed to cool off for a minute. Hope everyone has a great New Years!

🙂🙂

[Theo]

The Jan $25's closed at .49 today with 873 traded

It's amazing how spoiled you can become after having bought January and April $7.50s for a dime or less just a few weeks ago😁

[Theo]

Ah yes.... he said that and similar versions-- often.
The three most profound tidbits of wisdom I gleaned over the past 25 years
starting at Silicon Investors (TGL) were Jim's:

1) The taking of profits we just talked about, of course

2) "NEXT!" became a frequent lament from posters (meaning it doesn't matter if you missed this play, there's another one right around the corner)

3) ...and then there was Wayne's "All stocks are shit"

Funny how things like that stick with you- Made me smile🙂

Thanks for reviving my memories Steve!

[ktcougar]

I have a sign next to my computer that says.....Don't be greedy lol.

I can NOT believe
how expensive the OTM July Calls (ALL strikes) are...😳

The Jan $25's closed at .49 today with 873 traded.....way to expensive for me! After seeing the way that was trading I didn't look at the July's.

[SSP]

The late Jim Bishop said this "Don't chase it up. Get it, when it drops back, simply because, THEY ALWAYS DROP BACK, they HAVE to, it is just part of the mechanics of the market maker system, and of course, the inevitable profit taking, and if you aren't taking profits relentlessly, then what the hell are you doing here?"

[Theo]

I sold ALL my January Calls but none of my April Calls. I can NOT believe
how expensive the OTM July Calls (ALL strikes) are...😳
I'm always rolling up and have been for months, but, since this last run- I can't afford to roll up...
Didn't stop me either from taking some chips off the table. From $0.07 to almost $7.00 ??
Momma didn't raise no fool...😉 (My "long" stock position is solid and intact for long term though.)

There was a poster on the Golden Lounge years ago (I can't remember who),
but the saying was something like: "If you're not selling, you're NOT trading/making money"
It's not exact, but you get the drift.
No shame in taking some profits 🫡

[ktcougar]

It's been a beautiful week! Sold maybe 5% of my Jan. and April calls today. Had to take a little off lol. It's been a December to remember lol!

[Theo]

Breached $14 in PM 😃

[Theo]

I'm pretty sure that was balancing of the books- that was a Prior Referenced Price trade noted by the "P"-
Still, it was a large block buy none-the-less 😳

[Theo]

Banging $13 AH 🫣 (no volume, but still)

[ktcougar]

Volume continues after hours with a 1m print at $12.58. Haven't seen that in a few years!


kt

[SSP]

$12.58 close, what a day!

[Theo]

We've broke over million shares traded as well 🫠

[Theo]

And then some...

[Theo]

Do we make $12 today?

[Theo]

Sweet isn't it? 😄

Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!

[ktcougar]

Those April $7.50's bought on Oct. 25th for .20 are around $4 now. Someone had perfect timing!

[ktcougar]

Those lotto calls finally ITM lol. Have a great Christmas!

kt

[Theo]

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Great way to start eh?🤗

[Theo]

I know right?😏

I couldn't believe I had to bring up a 3-year chart to look back 🤔

[DesertRat1]

Didn't realize it was that long ago. Not sure how I should feel about that. LOL

[luvgrowth]

Re: Up

Technically we are now in Blue skies above territory...wonder what a reasonable pps is for atomera?

If say, anticipated news is revealed during this Santa Rally...

[Theo]

Nice! We haven't broke $10 in over two years! (Sept 2022) 😉
