None of us are accurate every time. Time will tell on NKLA. I think hydrogen FCEVs are an idea whose time will come. Until then, there are too many other stocks to TRADE. The key word is TRADE. Watch for Google’s Earnings Call and Amazon’s Earnings Call next month. They both look really good right now. My strategy is to have 500 shares of Google when they make their announcement, sell within seconds, immediately buy-in to Amazon and do the same thing. If either stock goes down instead of up I just hang on until it goes back up. If they both go up during their Earnings Call I sell and wait for the dip.
I did make a little over $12k TRADING 30,000 shares of NKLA on the penny right before NKLA announced there might be a reverse split. The stock would sink to $0.99 when I would put in my buy, it fills below $0.99, I immediately put in a sell for $1.00 and it fills (around $300.00 per trade). When it went down to $0.97 I bailed and I am still out.
Forget invest. TRADE. You will be happier.
Rule #1: Don’t get greedy, don’t get cocky.
Rule #2: A bird in hand, etc. (in other words - when a stock goes up sell it and wait for the dip to get back in).
Reverse split? No, no not that! Hoo wudda thunk it?

Fortunately, no signs of dilution, no signs of a reverse split, and no signs of the company following usual courses of action are in sight.

The near-future risk for this stock is dilution, which will be caused by selling more of the stock that was authorized at the Qtr 2 Earnings Call. If the dilution causes the PPS to fall below $1 for an extended period, the risk of delisting from Nasdaq will follow. To keep the PPS above $1, the usual pattern is a reverse split.

DW, you are assuming too much in my opinion.
Also per the following link "If a company closes below a $1/share bid price for 30 consecutive days, the Nasdaq sends the company a written notice. The notice states that the company is no longer in compliance with its continued listing requirements and has 180 days to regain compliance. Otherwise, the company will face delisting."

Not mentioned above, is that after 180 days, the company can ask for another 180 days extension, that is usually granted. So, practically, the company have over a year before worrying about being delisted if the share price falls below $1 and does not recover above it.

Nikola (NKLA) to Report Q3 Earnings:
What's in the Cards?
Mentioned: LCID NKLA RIVN
Nikola Corporation NKLA is slated to release third-quarter 2023 results on Nov 2, before market open. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the to-be-reported quarter’s loss per share and revenues is pegged at 15 cents and $15.52 million, respectively.For the third quarter, the consensus estimate for NKLA’s loss per share has narrowed by 4 cents in the past 90 days. Its bottom-line estimates imply growth of 46.4% from the year-ago reported number.The Zacks Consensus Estimate for its quarterly revenues suggests a year-over-year decline of 35.97%.Over the trailing four quarters, NKLA surpassed the consensus estimate on all occasions, the average surprise being 17.9%.
Q2 Highlights
In second-quarter 2023, Nikola incurred an adjusted quarterly loss of 20 cents per share, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of 24 cents. This compares to an adjusted loss of 25 cents per share reported a year ago. Nikola posted revenues of $15.36 million in the quarter, outpacing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $15 million.
Earnings Whispers
Our proven model does not conclusively predict an earnings beat for Nikola for third-quarter 2023, as it does not have the right combination of the two key ingredients. A positive Earnings ESP combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. This is not the case here.Earnings ESP: NKLA has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%. This is because the Most Accurate Estimate is in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.Zacks Rank: It currently carries a Zacks Rank #2.
Things to Note
In September, Nikola announced the expansion of its dealer network into Canada for its Class 8 truck sales. The vehicle manufacturer is eligible for the Incentives for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Zero-Emission Vehicles Program, which offers Canadian organizations in all provinces, territories and municipalities up to CAD200,000 in incentives toward the purchase or lease of the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell electric truck and up to CAD150,000 in incentives toward the purchase or lease of the Nikola battery-electric truck.It is also eligible for the Clean BC Go Electric Rebates in the province of British Columbia, which offers CAD150,000 in incentives toward the purchase or lease of both the Nikola hydrogen fuel cell and battery-electric truck. Expansion of the dealer network, along with incentives, is likely to have bolstered NKLA’s third-quarter 2023 results.On the flip side, the vehicle manufacturer closed the battery production operations of Romeo Power, Inc. and is preparing to establish a battery pack line in Coolidge for its battery-electric trucks. During the second quarter of 2023, Nikola produced and delivered 33 and 45 trucks, respectively, down from 50 and 48 trucks in the corresponding quarter of 2022. With the halt in battery production operations, the decline in production trend is likely to have persisted in the quarter under review.

Nikola's Burning Issue Continues With 3rd Truck Fire This Year: Here's What Happened

Buckeye is a good, central location for distribution to several states. Watch for a wind farm nearby to produce the electricity for the electrolysis.
FFI is a subsidiary of FMG, but neither sells shares - yet. However, FFI stock would be another good long term investment because hydrogen-powered everything is happening and Nikola will not be FFI’s only customer. At some point in the future, even Elon Musk will find a way to save face and get on board with hydrogen.
Sounds like good news. I can see the need for more shares, which means more dilution when sold. This is a long term stock, backed by the Federal Government, Arizona Government, and the California Government to name a few.

So, how did Bankman-Fried do it? Ben McMillan, co-founder of IDX Digital Assets, spells it out with a simple analogy:
In a hypothetical scenario, imagine someone owns every house in a 100-home neighborhood and forces the sale of one home for $1 million, then uses that sale to show they have $100 million in "equity." But then, the owner (WMI) is forced to sell (declare bankruptcy) all the remaining 99 homes, and the houses only sell for $100,000 each – meaning $90 million of their so-called equity disappears.
90% of declared equity - phffft!
But that equity never existed in the first place.
