Dow over 40K! Now what? Maybe we just keep ramping higher...

[hweb2]

Glad you had some TSSI. Stock dropped below .50 last month after what I thought was a great Q4 report at the end of March. Then like you said, weird 50% spike higher into Q1 earnings on Tuesday...and the bottom line kinda stunk. Figured the stock would quickly fall back below $1. Nope! Didn't catch the CC but I'm guessing they mentioned AI plenty of times.

[larrybaz]

TSSI - Had that crazy jump from 93 cents to $1.40 on Tuesday. That afternoon they reported earnings that in my opinion weren't great especially looking at them sequentially. I sold every last share on Wednesday morning. It hit a high of $1.70 today!

I am staying away from this stock for the time being, because I am obviously not on the same wavelength.........

[researcher59]

SBOW - I sold all my uncovered shares in the low $37's and used the proceeds to add to my position in VTLE, which looks undervalued and could also be a buyout candidate.

[2morrowsGains]

SBOW...Over $37. Sold 1/2 so far and will decide what to do with the other 1/2 as timegoes by.

[hweb2]

Thanks for the CNRD info. Sweet call by littlefish on this one! I snagged a tiny bit at the open. Wish they'd filled me for more at $8 with the stock now at $9.50 X $10.72. I'm guessing the 'favorable adjustments' were responsible for most (if not all) of the earnings last quarter. But in this market...doesn't matter.

[littlefish]

Hweb, CNRD- I’m hoping that highlighted area you point out is around steel prices and/or overestimating forward losses on current work but no idea. It could be lots of things like concessions or such and may have been mainly around the first hopper dredge but again I’m not sure.

Mandjb brought up a good point about two more YRBMs to go as far as negative, but importantly steel prices have been creeping down a little and this was a new design where very often the first vessel is the toughest and worst margins as far as learning curve (with steel input cost being independent of that). Same with the second hopper dredge for GLDD. The second one should be easier from learning on the first one.

The judgment with interest I expect to be maybe a bit more than $8 mill. That should help. It was good to see they’re booking more barges lately.

Good luck, all IMO only.

[hweb2]

Another early trading opportunity on IPW. Low of $1.10 premarket. Already jumped to the $1.40's after the open. Surprised nobody else playing this one?? I keep going back to the well...and it keeps working! Still looks attractive in the low $1's with adjusted earnings of .05/share last quarter.

[researcher59]

SBOW +3.55 to 35.90, glad you own a decent sized position .... with CRGY down 7% on the news, it looks like most shareholders will select cash, in which case we may only get a 40% cash pro rata with the rest in CRGY shares. I would have preferred a bigger buyout premium, but the valuations in the O&G sector are low.

I'll probably buy more VTLE rather than own CRGY.

CSPI...ARIA Cybersecurity's AZT PROTECT Sweeps Industry Awards, Bringing Home EIGHT Accolades for OT Security Excellence and Innovation

Cybersecurity Excellence Award for best OT security solution latest award for AZT PROTECT

BOSTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 16, 2024 / ARIA Cybersecurity Solutions, a CSPi business (NASDAQ:CSPi), has swept the board during industry awards season, scooping eight prestigious awards for its operational technology (OT) cybersecurity solution, AZT PROTECT™.

This month AZT PROTECT was named winner in the "OT Security" category at the 9th Annual 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards in recognition of its breakthrough approach to protecting critical infrastructure from sophisticated new cyberattacks. It was the eighth major industry award for AZT PROTECT this year - just 10 months since the solution was launched in July 2023.

"These awards represent a major endorsement by the cybersecurity industry for AZT PROTECT, which is stopping the dangerous new forms of attacks targeting OT environments that existing defenses are missing," says Gary Southwell, General Manager of ARIA Cybersecurity. "The solution has already been proven in some of the largest manufacturing environments in the world. It has been designed from the ground up to guard against the new breed of sophisticated nation-state and supply-chain attacks that are causing widespread havoc across multiple industry sectors - helping companies protect their critical assets, revenue, and reputation."

AZT PROTECT is a fully automated solution that comprehensively secures OT endpoints against all threats - both known and unknown - using real-time monitoring and immediate threat mitigation without relying on centralized cloud updates and constant patching. It reduces application vulnerability exploits to near zero by neutralizing threats in real time before they cause harm, using a revolutionary AI-driven patented technique for analyzing executable code, scripts, and processes. It is designed for companies that manage critical applications in sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, government, oil and gas, utilities, and financial services.

Industry honors AZT PROTECT with multiple awards

"We congratulate ARIA Cybersecurity on being recognized as an award winner in the OT Security category of the 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards," said Holger Schulze, CEO of Cybersecurity Insiders and founder of the Information Security Community, which organizes the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards. "Your achievement reflects outstanding commitment to the core principles of excellence, innovation, and leadership in cybersecurity."

ARIA Cybersecurity also won six awards for AZT PROTECT at the 12th Annual Global InfoSec Awards held during RSA Conference 2024 and judged by Cyber Defense Magazine. The awards were: "Market Leader Endpoint Security", "Most Innovative Endpoint Security", "Hot Company Software Supply Chain Security", "Next Gen Software Supply Chain Security", "Hot Company Zero-Trust Application Protection", and "Next Gen Zero-Trust Application Protection".

"We scoured the globe looking for cybersecurity innovators that could make a huge difference and potentially help turn the tide against the exponential growth in cybercrime. AZT PROTECT is absolutely worthy of these coveted awards and consideration for deployment in your environment," said Yan Ross, Global Editor of Cyber Defense Magazine.

In March, AZT PROTECT was also named "Silver Winner" in the "Operational Technologies Security" category in the 2024 edition of the Globee Awards for Cybersecurity.

CNRD: Still a couple more YRBM loss projects likely ahead

In March 2022, we were awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy for the design and construction of a Yard, Repair,
Berthing and Messing (“YRBM”) barge, with options for an additional seven barges. The YRBM barges provide a
temporary home away from home and workplace for U.S. service men and women whose vessels are in port for repairs
and/or maintenance. The fixed-price contract, a small business set-aside, has a potential value of over $140 million if
all options are exercised by the U.S. Navy. In July 2022, the U.S. Navy exercised options for two additional YRBM
barges, in August 2022, exercised an option for the fourth YRBM barge and in June 2023 exercised an option for the
fifth YRBM barge, bringing the total contracts awarded through year-end 2023 to $89.4 million. The option for the
sixth YRBM barge was exercised in March 2024, bringing the total contracts awarded through the first quarter of 2024
to $107.3 million. We expect to deliver the first two YRBM barges to the U.S. Navy in the second half of 2024 and
four additional YRBM barges during 2025. Due to rapidly rising inflation since the time of our fixed-price bid, we
have recorded substantial forward losses on the first six vessels

SBOW...WOW !!! NICE. 💪😎👍...https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=174369102

[nelson1234]

SBOW congrats to the holders!

[researcher59]

SBOW (32.35) bought out at $38 or 3.125 shares of CRGY (12.25). If too many shareholders select the cash option, they'll get some shares, pro rata, in lieu of cash.

pr -

SilverBow shareholders will receive 3.125 shares of Crescent Class A common stock for each share of SilverBow common stock, with the option to elect to receive all or a portion of the proceeds in cash at a value of $38 per share, subject to possible pro ration with a maximum total cash consideration for the transaction of $400 million.

Nice quarter for CNRD. But I saw this in the 10Q...any way to quantify?

Gross profit was $3.5 million (5.2% of revenue) for the first quarter of 2024 compared to a gross loss of $4.9 million
(6.3% of revenue) for the same period of 2023. Vessel construction gross profit was $2.8 million for the first quarter
of 2024 compared to a gross loss of $5.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. The vessel construction gross profit in
2024 primarily resulted from profitable jobs, improved performance on contracts, favorable adjustments on projects
that we have recorded forward losses in previous years, and lower overhead allocations as we experienced higher
overall volume compared to the first quarter of 2023. These gains were offset by additional loss due to the award of
the sixth YRBM vessel. Repair and conversion gross profit decreased $193,000, or 21.9%, for the first quarter of 2024
compared to the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in gross profit in the repair and conversion segment was primarily
as a result of decreased volume, higher labor costs and higher overhead allocations.

[littlefish]

CNRD- I believe they also have the $7.49 mill judgment plus interest to realize this year at some point too for a one time juicer to draw attention against about 5 mill shares OS. Setting up nicely after last Q being a bit of pu ch to the ribs (glad I held on).

All IMO only.

[littlefish]

CNRD in with $0,30 per share, backlog up a bit YOY.

I’ll need to glance over it, hopefully last Q was a product of those two darned troublesome multi cats and now they can look for clearer skies. Looks like repair and conversion was a bit weaker temporarily but I expect that segment to pick back up and there was a brief bit of weather disruption in the Q with the cold snap.

All IMO only.

[valuemind]

I should have added more last week.

The single analyst covering HHS estimates just went up a lot for the rest of '24 and for '25. I mean I think he's being pretty aggressive.

[hweb2]

More insider buying on HHS. This time a director bought 25,000(!) shares. I thought this one would be dead money for awhile...but insiders seem to think differently.

Wow congrats to anyone still holding TSRI. Nice premium!

[rado]

SOWG ($15.76) had a nice day today after raising money at $10. Seems like things are going very well. They plan to move up from their current production capacity of 4.5 million units to 30 million units by yearend and moving into a bunch of new retailers.

[maxluke1]

TSRI - to be acquired for 13.40/share.
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240515530127/en

congrats to anyone holding, I've only got a small position.

[Knowledge is King]

TSRI getting bought out at $13.40/share

[wadegarret]

OK, maybe I'll pull my short for now.

[valuemind]

It will touch 40,000, at least briefly, tomorrow, more likely than not.

[larrybaz]

Schwab - I unfortunately just needed to cancel multiple orders on Schwab's site. What a nightmare. Like you said, it's one by one, and a royal pain in the a$$.

[nelson1234]

make calls all you want... you have obviously said this many times. But the only thing that matters are your positions. 'Calling' means shite.

[littlefish]

He started in 2018. If I recall, he made a call for bear market (or say we were in one) every year since at some point during the year.

Sell 500 Shares of GEN

Note that this is a fictional portfolio and is not a recommendation to buy or sell securities

[researcher59]

Eventually the wolf will come and Wade will be right for the first time since late 2022 when he started calling for a severe bear market !

[hweb2]

Market def has the feel of a frothy peak soon. But haven't you been calling for this big correction since like late 2022? Why keep doing it?

[wadegarret]

I am calling a correction by June

which will get worse as the year progresses. I believe we are seeing the top to the markets, similar to mid 2000. I believe we see this market correct 40%+ by 2026. Today the Nasdaq is 16728, Dow 39,830, and the S&P 5301.

[wadegarret]

I've sold all long positions, and am short the market again

[Knowledge is King]

Everybody got their DJIA40000 hats ready? :)

[SSKILLZ1]

GEN

Decided to take some profits on GEN here at around close to $25. RSI is about 79 so very overextended at this point. Will be looking for a reentry if it pulls back. Stock was actually in the 19's a week ago. So had to take some profits in this frothy market at this point. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.

[hweb2]

Nice call on IMMR. So many stocks are running...

[valuemind]

Why shorted value IMMR instead of bubble GME?

[valuemind]

IMMR $9.18, on the way to $10

[jtomm]

Yeah, I've found Schwab to be pretty clunky also. Might be fine for somebody who buys or sells every month or two, but not set up well for trading frequently, or quickly.

[researcher59]

Ameritrade's options chain screen was far more efficient for active traders than Schwab's or ThinkorSwim's .... at Ameritrade one could with one click expand all expiration dates - at Schwab one has to click on each expiration date individually. So it can take 20 clicks at Schwab versus 1 click at Ameritrade to see the full picture ..... I trade loads of options and get quotes dozens of time a day, so Schwab's option chain a super time waster.

More broadly speaking, Ameritrade's website was far more efficient than Schwab's for active traders like myself. Ugh.

[novicetrader]

berniel,but that link(saying 'Gain/Loss') only shows the 'Unrealized' gain/loss. For the 'Realized' gain/loss I guess there's only the other way that r59 suggested.
Still trying to navigate & get used to the Schwab system after all these years at TDA.Thanks

[valuemind]

I shorted small number of GME yesterday and thinking when to cover.

[2morrowsGains]

Schwab is a tangeled web compared to Gainskeeper...Thinkorswim has been my desktop trading platform of choice for years. Don't understand why Schwab removed the ability to change the cost basis method per individual trade from TOS. It's a great feature I use all the time so now I'm forced to make trades on schwab's site to use it.
Unless someone finds a way to use it on Thinkorswim...🤔

[berniel]

go to positions page and look at link right hand corner

[novicetrader]

oh,thanks a lot r59! Seeing that now

[researcher59]

GME -10.38 to 38.37, looks like a good short, but very risky. It's once again a crazy meme stock. Shares are available for shorting at IB for 16% interest.
