They should be. It’s going to be a severe reaming out!
Oooh…I bet they’re really scared.
BWAHAHAHA!!!
Naked shorts are going to take it from the hind site and get destroyed!
Thank you, and yours as well.
Those who served are proud as hell to protect and defend our nation, its benevolence and greatness when compared to any other, in spite of any weaknesses or shortcomings.
The real issue here is that Steven Burns committed fraud and is not being prosecuted for it. We all know investing is a gamble, I don't take issue with that.
What I do take issue with is that he specifically lied about several key details which greatly inflated the stock.
He should be prosecuted and held in prison until he makes every shareholder whole again.
Interesting read on Reddit:
TIN-FOIL HAT SPECULATIVE BULL THEORY] Execution of a reverse stock split will be LMC's last stand. And I think Alpha Dan and the board are playing chicken with market-making-exempt brokers who LMC thinks hold massive naked short positions
Disclaimer! This is not financial advice. This is complete speculation and is not meant to be construed as factual. Do your own research and make your own decisions. I own 36k long at $3.7.
This was my response to the post earlier asking for a bullish take on the reverse split. So here's my attempt:
We know that short interest is at 19%, meaning 45m shares are lent out. Insiders own 34.4% meaning retail owns 65.6% of this company. That is a shit ton of the shares. But, here's the deal. Brokers hold most of retail's shares and those retail brokerage accounts don't hold the street name of those shares, the broker does on your behalf. Brokers aren't supposed to lend out shares that the account holder doesn't allow, but market making brokers need to "provide liquidity" and they're allowed to short share's they do not have. That is naked shorting and is often tied to failure to delivers. In a reverse split scenario, this creates a “sold not yet purchased” liability on the broker's balance sheets. If this company is "Fraudstown Motors" no big deal. Selling will continue post split.
Now this is why I believe LMC is making their final stand and why I'm going to vote "YES" in favor of the reverse split. They are either committing suicide - which I know everything thinks they're doing - or they're playing chicken with the market makers and they've got a buyer wanting 70% of the company after post split and willing to pay the post split share amount for those 50.2m Jeffry ATM shares. That. Funds. Everything. They. Need. +$400m. That is significant news. No one believes they have anything lined up. It would also represent a friendly buyout for controlling interest that give's the buyer a launch pad to scale up with FoxConn! You can say there's no chance of this, but I will disagree until this company does go bankrupt.
Market makers want retail to vote no. They own 65% of the company and bankruptcy is guaranteed if they're unable to r / s. If retail doesn't vote at all, the broker gets to. If you're lending your shares out, you don't vote, the broker does. In my opinion, the manipulation here is on the side of the "No" vote since LMC is asking us to vote "YES". A "No" will indeed "put a nail in it" as they say for current holders. But I think there's a silent majority of retail that aren't here or don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks and are holding long. If you are retail, I just hope you at least have the balls to make your own decision and cast your own vote either way. Don't let your broker make that decision for you because they do not have your interests in mind if they hold a massive naked short position. They already have you written off.
But, if Dan is a fucking Alpha, he's about to square up with these market makers toe to toe with this move. I even think now, that LMC could have tipped them off in a "I dare ya to fire first" tactic to build up FTDs and that's exactly what they did and it caused the borrow rate to short RIDE to double the day before this filing. LMC's board is even allowing 2 things to be voted on by brokers at holders discretion:
1. Changing their accounting firms, tha't just SOP
2. But a REVERSE SPLIT up to 1:15?
Why would they even allow brokers to vote for retail? Think about it. Reverse psychology. If they get it approved, they'll be able to see which brokers voted on their holder's discretion for "No". They announce significant news after the split and now they have a target to attack.

Burns and Foxconn own 28% of common shares.
That is far from the majority big guy!
What’s your AIM?
You are wrong about burns and Foxconn owning majority of shares.
Institutional shareholders 23.76%
Retail investors 57.95%
Lordstown Motors Insiders 18.30%
Not going to be as easy as you contend!
Or the stock has already been beaten up by the scum bag shorts so bad that all bad news is already factored into the current price.
One thing for sure. Production better start soon and Hightower produce the 500 endurance trucks as promised or he will find himself in a lawsuit up to his ears.
With Foxconn and Burns owning the majority of shares the reverse split should happen. I just not sure about how low the PPS will drop but I figure another 25% if no news in the next couple of weeks.
As I have said numerous times..
Top management failed to execute and deliver, you can’t expect a stock to rise if nothing ever gets done and goals aren’t met.
Hightower, I hope you have a backup career path because after your performance with RIDE you will never or should never be allowed to work in the auto industry again…
Hell you probably shouldn’t be allowed to ever own a car again…
Beyond terrible by Top Management
I will approve it only after Steve Burns and his son are in jail.
I am not surprised. The reverse split is up to shareholders voting approval.
All of the preferred shareholders will gain at the common shareholders expense. Ninvaggi has turned out to be the classic sheister. Remember when he said he was so well connected in capital markets? Remember Carl Icahn? Hell he wouldn't touch this crap with a ten foot pole. As for our CEO, his only job was to sell cars.
What a friggin joke he is. Edward Hightower.
Remember Reverend Hightower in the Scarlet Letter.
He fathered Hester Prim in a moment of incest.
Present Hightower is raping shareholders and a reverse split is the love child.
In my opinion, the reverse split will be 10:1
Still needs to be voted on in May.
And even if it passes it doesn’t mean they will do it.
Wonder how institutional investors will vote?
Wonder how other common shareholders will vote.
Seems like this may be a tough one to get through.
Well…
There is your precious announcement SavingGrace and Almosthere!
How do you feel about the company now? Reverse Split is not a positive thing, I can’t wait to hear your rebuttle.
Never mind wattswatt, I found it on the SEC filing….
It’s over ladies and gentlemen…

They screwed everyone !
@wattswattt
Has it been officially declared a reverse split is happening?
Thanks
I wouldn't call a REVERSE SPLIT smoke.
DEFINITELY a RS is a FIRE and a TORCH to ALL common Shareholders. A Gigantic EFF OVER.
“Never above, never below, always beside you”.
Thank you for your service.

March 29 – National Vietnam War Veterans Day
Fifty years have passed since the final American military forces left Vietnam and our remaining prisoners of war were returned. Even after the passage of five decades, we still owe these veterans a large debt of gratitude.
During the conflict, political controversy and disagreement were sadly misdirected toward those who had admirably served our nation. When these brave warriors returned from Vietnam, they received neither a hero’s welcome nor appreciation for their service that they deserved, but instead got apathy, anger and hate. Disappointingly, many were left to struggle alone with self-doubt, shame and the memories of those left behind.
After their wartime service ended, these unsung heroes went to work, served in government and became involved in their communities. Vietnam War-era veterans went on to lead Fortune 500 companies, direct Oscar-winning films, create a prominent computer-programming language, map the human genome and many other outstanding accomplishments. Today, there are approximately 6 million living veterans from the Vietnam era – more than 30% of America’s veteran population.
March 29 – National Vietnam War Veterans Day – is dedicated to these heroes. You can honor them by watching the National Veterans Memorial and Museum’s Welcome Home Ceremony at 100 p.m. EDT. The keynote speaker will be Capt. J. Charles “Charlie” Plumb (USN, Ret.), a naval aviator who was shot down and held prisoner in Vietnam for six years. He’s legendary for his story “Who Packs Your Parachute?”
The 50th National Vietnam War Veterans Day is a national opportunity to share our appreciation for the sacrifices made by a generation of veterans.
Saving Grace
How many times are you going to post that video?
You are stepping on border line pathetic
Give it up… take your losses like we all have, move on….
Nikodemos, I disagree with all that Bull Shit and nobody is in China.
They are SIMPLY too pricey! Gas prices would have to go MUCH HIGHER to justify the outlay & they (gas prices) are bordering on "reasonable". Inflation pressures are going to WEED some of the gluttony OUT here soon. Too much inventory.
But there is OPPORTUNITY in CHINA! And those transitioning well THERE will have a leg up! This is overpriced atm & imho will continue to drop. How far? Let's see what Q1 #'s say. I'm BETTING that they are NOT GOOD.
Feel free to mark this & reply when the Q is filed...
Dang. EV’s continue to get hammered!
CES Expert Talk - The Future of EV Ecosystem & Electric Mobility
More Q nonsense deployed to counter the actual state of RIDE. RIDE will go BK or get acquired by Foxconn. Meanwhile, the economy will go on.
Excellent post SG.
Thanks for clarifying the facts in the midst of all the short BS!
I disagree. Shorts were destroyed last time Hightower released updates on a Sat.
Either way RIDE will be unstoppable. The short selling Hedge Funds and Banks are going under for good as nobody is borrowing anything any longer, now that the QFS took over on Thur. We are back on the Gold Standard where the Fiat petrol dollar is now worthless and why thousands of Central Banks are crashing worldwide and why markets are also crashing because banks are being liquidated.
Surviving Banks that are Basel III compliant will all be backed by Gold. Short selling Hedge Funds will soon be a thing of the past as banks go insolvent. Central Banks will merge to stay afloat which will ultimately wipe them all out.
RIDE is healthy and strong with a long runway for take off. Foxconn owns 100% of the preferred and now 19% of the common shares. This tells shareholders the confidence Foxconn has in Lordstown motors and the MIH EV partnership established by both.
Many good things to come through this partnership.
Releasing any public information to share holders or to the forum of WallStreet on a Saturday is a rookie mistake…
Monday- Thursday to make the most of the announcement , unless it’s terrible news in which it could be and we go to .20 cent range by Monday…
My 2 cents worth…
You nailed it, but it's still trying to find a bottom.
Hightower needs to have something concrete. He said 3 weeks or so 2 weeks ago.
I heard prosperous news is on it's way but nothing confirmed.
Hightower, sometimes releases news on Saturdays and if he does, that again,
I hope it's a butte. There are many pokers now in the fire. Endurance is
just one of them.
Lots of crafty worthless fellas in the stock market.
It looks like my target of $.60 is almost here . I don’t expect to go under $.50 but you never know .
No Endurance without an OEM partner per Hightower. There’s no mystery here.
What we need is an announcement of production back up and running and news of an OEM contract.
Management is functioning like a bunch of clowns running a circus to date, and the share price is reflecting it!

@ KMC-1
I feel ya KMC and I am very sorry for the pain and suffering that you have endured … I don’t know what will happen here with RIDE but it feels bleak at the moment in all directions.
Chin up buddy, never know what can happen … I appreciate all the input regardless…
Be blessed..
WW
Basically the same situation I'm in. Unfortunately, I went in too deep because I believed that Steven Burns would never have lied the way he did (about multiple things; "firm" pre-orders, timeline to be in production, timeline for the truck to get NHTSA approval, value of the factory building and land, etc. etc.) and I'm sitting on a massive loss that I won't be able to recover from financially and has undoubtedly impacted my family's future negatively. And not only does he walk free, he walks free with tens of millions of dollars. That's the other casualty here - trust in our stock market & rule of law.
Good to hear… keep punching man!
If I believed like you, I would sell today.
But I still see the potential.
Yes I’m a true believer!!!
@almosthere
I did believe, I am embarrassed to say my position, I still have tons of stock here but I really don’t believe management will pull up from the nose dive they have created … I don’t short stocks, I invest only, this has been a disaster for me since day 1.
I ll let my shares stay but I don’t see much light at the tunnels ending.
Best,
WW
So you do not believe in the company. Nothing new here.
Have you sold or are you short?
I’m holding long at 0.88. Upside potential is still huge here.
Company isn’t going anywhere with 220 milllion and another 100 milllion coming from FOXCONN.
What I see is shorters continuing to manipulate until company announces production back in play and OEM’s.
Feel sorry for the weak hands being manipulated out of their shares.
I smile at your optimistic hopes..
Major things need to pan out for this to turn positive, I wish you the best .
WW
Good Luck, we're long and strong. No Fear Here.
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray….

I am sorry guys, I feel it’s over….
Great. Another product that can’t be sold at a profit.

Nu Ride's new five-person board is expected to appoint William Gallagher, managing director of M3 Partners — a transaction advisory firm in New York — as Nu Ride's president and CEO, according to the regulatory filing.
Gallagher faced a situation similar to Nu Ride as CEO at WMIH Corp., the public acquisition corporation that succeeded Washington Mutual Inc. — the parent of WaMu Bank in Seattle that was seized by federal thrift regulators in fall 2008. By January 2015, the shell company left over from the failure of Washington Mutual had raised close to $600 million to pursue acquisitions of financial companies that could benefit from its huge, tax-deductible losses, according to a report by the Seattle Times.
Gallagher took over as leader of WMIH in May 2015 "to oversee its acquisition strategy and manage its day-to-day affairs," according to M3 Partners.
He was responsible for "reviewing, vetting and analyzing a large number of potential target companies from a variety of different sectors and industry groups," M3 says.
"Ultimately, WMIH acquired Nationstar Mortgage Holdings to form Mr. Cooper Group," M3 says. Gallagher departed from WMIH after closing the Nationstar acquisition in July 2018.
Bill Gallagher has more than 35 years of experience in finance, investment and financial restructurings. He brings deep expertise in credit analysis and has long-term management experience in the financial services industry.
Prior to joining M3, Bill was the Chief Executive Officer at WMIH Corp (NASDAQ:WMIH), a public acquisition corporation which was the successor to Washington Mutual, Inc., from May 2015 to July 2018. Bill was recruited to WMIH to oversee its acquisition strategy and manage its day-to-day affairs. While there, he worked closely with WMIH’s strategic financial partner, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. At WMIH, Bill’s responsibilities included reviewing, vetting and analyzing a large number of potential target companies from a variety of different sectors and industry groups. Ultimately, WMIH acquired Nationstar Mortgage Holdings (NYSE symbol NSM) to form Mr. Cooper Group (NASDAQ:COOP). Bill departed from WMIH upon the closing of the acquisition of Nationstar as his job at WMIH was completed.
Prior to WMIH, Bill was CEO and Chief Risk Officer at Capmark Financial Group, formerly known as GMAC Commercial Mortgage (from March 2009 to May 2015). Bill was retained by Capmark to manage its financial restructuring following the global economic crisis and was responsible for the management of the company’s day-to-day affairs, the restructuring of both the company and its assets (including its $15 billion commercial loan portfolio), its bankruptcy process, and its winding down and distribution of assets to creditors and other stakeholders. Capmark was a highly successful restructuring as Bill and his colleagues significantly increased the recovery value to Capmark’s creditors.
Before joining Capmark, Bill was the Chief Credit Officer of RBS Greenwich Capital, the US fixed income investment banking business of the Royal Bank of Scotland, where he was responsible for all aspects of credit risk management. While at RBS Greenwich, Bill was responsible for a wide variety of US corporations and buy-side companies, including corporate borrowers and debt issuers, financial institutions, industrial companies with captive finance businesses, and a variety of US corporations who traded various securities with or through RBS Greenwich.
Earlier in his career, Bill was a Vice President at First Boston Corporation in that firm’s credit risk management department. At First Boston, Bill was responsible for managing credit risk to a wide variety of corporate issuers and financial institutions. Bill began his career at Chemical Bank, where he completed the bank’s credit training program and then worked as a loan officer in the middle market division and a credit officer in the financial institutions division.
Bill has a B.S. in business administration from Syracuse University and an MBA from New York University.
