"and she says i dont want to talk about it because i was on the other side of the
country"
And that has been the talk all over. Dumbest statement she could've made. If she had kept her mouth shut instead of playing politician, people would've rolled their eyes at his arrest and moved on as is the usual American attention span- but no- gotta throw somebody (even if your spouse) under the bus to cover your ass lol
"That and Monday night football"
That always irritated me lol- Those games seldom kicked off much before 9:00 pm (EST-EDT) so I could never watch a whole game.
Been watching old Johnny Carson shows at night and I can't believe how much I missed all those years cause I had to work for a living and couldn't stay up til 11:30pm
The shows/guests are hilarious (of course it helps that I'm old enough to know who most of those guests were/are)
Buddy knew it when the kid was 8... this kid is going places.
How can an 8-year-old play not only the runs, riffs, and licks, but get those bends in as well??
Lol, like I said, "...due to my lack of paying attention", I was sure it had been used, seen, and understood by many others.... I just hadn't been astute enough to pick up on it
$ATOM After waiting to see more 13F-HRs filed to determine how more of the institutional entities were swinging, I now find myself just as puzzled as the institutions seems to be in their trades. Overall, thus far, more increased positions than decreased but twice as many closed positions as opened...??
Gotta take into consideration that several of the "opened" & "closed" positions were small/insignificant. I can't figure out how to quantify that stat- I guess I would need total number of institutions as well as total $$s and then some way to apply a weighted average...
I guess the bottom line is that last Q does not appear to be a reliable indicator of sentiment going forward- simply churning.
"...and know it was stupid. The emotional trade rather than logical one."
True lol. Even more relevant today considering Will was born in 1889- no such thing as day-traders when he made that quote
I've never seen this quote before (although I know it's just due to my lack of paying attention):
"One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute. – William Feather"
Only had octopus once- not a fan- too "rubbery". Deep fried calamari? Exquisite!!!
Entertainment one night was a band/group and one of the guys was playing the bouzouki (tetrachordo version)- I was impressed. You would think having only four strings they would be relatively easy to play- Wrong- four sets of DOUBLE strings and not easy to fret or barre (clean anyways)
...one of these days I'm gonna learn to spell...😏
*Athens*
Thanks! Waiting for our flight to Amsterdam right now.... should be in Athens shortly after ??
👍👍 will do!
Headed to Greece in a a few hours- see y'all mid May!!
Lol, good to hear!
Thanks- from the transcript:
$ATOM Interesting Earnings Call Zoom meeting. I would encourage anyone who's involved with ATOM to view the Call when it comes out on Demand (later tonight or tomorrow). Too much for me to actually write down but as I always do, I'll give you my gut interpretation:
First off- it's VERY obvious that they are progressing and getting busier. Not overwhelmed, but it was plain to me by their tone and the stories that they have definitely picked up momentum. More on that later.
Scott was more " matter of factual" as opposed to the last few calls I've been on where he appears and acted maybe even somewhat frustrated by not being able to give out more customer info. Tonight, he actually admitted to the fact that they (ATOM) have pressured the JDA(s) to be able to release more info (like names) but again were rebuffed because as he put it- "they are hypersensitive to confidentiality". He did state that this 2nd JDA should move considerably faster than the first JDA and he goes on to explain why (which was interesting and I got kinda of excited hearing the explanation). They are finding out that each of their customers have different needs and what-not and therefore, progress is not linear. JDA#2 is not following the same path as the current JDA (I get the impression JDA#1 is a much much larger company) hence the possibility that JDA#2 production "could actually begin this year".
As I first alluded to at the beginning, one other note of interest I found somewhat compelling- they admit that they have more work than they can handle and they need people. No one knows the answer and all companies are experiencing it, but, they need more people.
Anyway, I feel MUCH better after hearing the call (as well as the JDA#2 announcement) and strongly encourage anyone invested or thinking of taking a position to watch the call.
I will continue to add as able
JDA #2 ... getting it done is right.
Slower than I like but still moving forward.
$ATOM Atomera Enters into Joint Development Agreement with Major Foundry
April 27, 2022
Further Customer Momentum Validates use of MST to Enhance Semiconductor Performance
LOS GATOS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 27, 2022 / Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ:ATOM), a semiconductor materials and technology licensing company, today announced that it has entered into a new Joint Development Agreement with a major semiconductor foundry. Building off the recently announced integration license with another semiconductor foundry, and having successfully met the goals of a JDA entered in 2021, this latest agreement further validates the growing market interest in Mears Silicon Technology™ (MST®) as a semiconductor manufacturing process enhancement for both performance and cost advantages.
"We are excited to be working with another foundry partner to bring the benefits of MST to the market," said Scott Bibaud, president and CEO of Atomera. "Making MST available at the foundry level will make the advantages of MST available to fabless semiconductor designers everywhere, which has been one of Atomera's goals."
MST is a quantum-engineered material that enhances transistors to deliver significantly better performance in semiconductor devices, while shrinking die sizes and reducing costs. The technology is applicable to most semiconductor manufacturing processes, from the most advanced nodes to mainstream 200mm and 300mm processes. As it is a complementary material technology to other nano-scaling technologies in the semiconductor industry roadmap, it can be implemented on standard manufacturing tools without significant additional cost or modification to the current semiconductor fabrication process. When successfully integrated, MST can deliver up to a full node of power and performance improvement within the same geometry.
The terms of the most recent JDA contract were not announced.

...and more @ 9.51...
Twitter going private
Yup, and I suspect that until we get an administration that actually knows what they are doing and supposed to do, it will remain a farked business/investing environment imo.
Funny you say that...I just bought some @ $10.20
Give us the crappy market conditions we have now and most of us can find the time to opine on just about any topic...😏
" If you are as large as the universe (universe is god?) you just are, you don't travel, there is no time."
" ...(universe is god?)... "
That is also a religious philosophical debate of how is God eternal- It's claimed that God exists outside the box therefore He is timeless. The box referring to the reality that we humans experience through our senses- so, in essence, "time" is a construct of our own making/perceiving.
Thanks- I'm not a "shredder"- yet lol but I'm really working on bending with my acoustic (not my electric National at this point)
I can not fathom why this guy Duey on ST has such a hard-on for ATOM. Yet he follows it religiously lol. This first post (from ST thread) was dated April 12th which is two days PRIOR to the press release essentially stating that ATOM had completed Phase 4 😆

$ATOM There is never going to be a phase 5
He also thinks he knows the EPI tool ownership facts:

$ATOM hey Lou, when is the $100 party? You did tell subscribers this was a $100 in the making right?
Did you tell subscribers Atomera owns 4 EpiTools in 3 Atomera facilities?
The poster hagarone responded (I didn't bring the response post here and don't even remember what he said) but Duey can't argue with him so he goes off on another tangent about insiders not buying...
DueyDiligence
4/15/22, 06:03 PM
@hagarone @ZHAMI But he couldn't or wouldn't tell you where it was. Why am I not surprised? They've also insisted they have 19 customers yet they never have revenue, customers buy stuff, no one has bought anything from ATOM
The last thing they want to reveal to anyone is that their entire narrative has been all bullshyt. They're going to play this game as long as they can. It's what grifters do. They're not violating the law, as long as they have imbeciles willing and gullible enough to swallow the word salad bullshyt, they're more than happy to keep awarding themselves stock and selling shares.
2016 to date, not one insider has bought a single share, They've awarded themselves and sold shares to compliment their shareholder paid cash salaries. They've fleeced investors on three continents
Apparently though, hagarone must've contacted ATOM's PR guy (Mike Bishop) because he lays out the EPI tool ownership situation and the post is signed "Mike" with the line "If you have any questions, please let me know". 😏

@DueyDiligence @ZHAMI I will make your day Duey
""Thanks for your question. I can't figure out why this seems to be such a hot button, but I am happy to try to provide clarity.
MST is installed in tools located in three separate sites. One is the JDA partner's fab. Two of the installations are tools leased by Atomera, and one of those tools has two chambers. Thus, MST is installed to run on 4 epi chambers in total.
The JDA customer has their own tool and their own facility.
Atomera has 2 "facilities", as disclosed in SEC documents, namely its headquarters in Los Gatos, and an office in Tempe, Ariz. The Tempe office has an attached fab which isn't in the company's leased footprint. In that fab, Atomera leases a tool which has MST capabilities in two chambers. Another tool is leased at a third party's fab, and therefore is not considered an Atomera facility.
If you have any questions, please let me know.""
Mike

Again, I gotta wonder- did Duey buy late in the game or something? He really seems to viscerally hate ATOM. He does ask some good questions but he likes to insert is opinion as the ONLY possible reason/solution...even when he's proven wrong. He just backtracks and then doubles down on a different topic such as "well, no insiders have bought any shares, or, "Sudarsan Srinivasan, the canary in the coal mine. He came , he saw. he went. 5 months later they still produce bupkis"......smh.
"cuz one thing for sure, i aint chang'n my style!!!"
YES!
" 7/38 willy g's"
Those were the ones that you could really bend nicely??
True dat! Lol!
"The focus of the JDA was to ensure Atomera's technology met the manufacturability and performance targets set by the customer before further work commenced within the company. Having met these criteria, Atomera can now move on to engagements with individual business units and applications areas."
