CB, I do know!
FDA is currently averaging 262 days from the date PMA is submitted to decide. Down from 430 days at their peak inefficiency under Obama. But Avita has expedited pathway status. This has no exact measurable savings in time, a month or two maybe.
Best case scenario April 2018
Worst case August 2018
I half expect Amazon to get slapped with some sort of anti-trust. More because Trump doesn't like what the Washington Post writes about him than anything else.
DFS had a nice run. 58 to 65. Still worth buying IMO. Hard to find secure large-cap stocks at a discount. I've been having more luck buying and selling odd cars, classics etc. Still trying to buy a horse. Most of my money is still invested but I have a low low six-digit cash position right now which is unusual for me and about 100k worth of cars in limbo.
Kind of funny and even more offtopic, being single again I'm getting much more in touch with the 25-33-year-old crowd. Their finances are atrocious. Like, I can't even comprehend how some decisions are made or how stupid the parents are that co-signed or just allowed some of it to happen. I think I should start a company where people just pay me to make their decisions for them or advise them on anything having to do with decisions costing over $500.
Ah 2015. Those were the days.
100% agree with you
.95-1.05
Prepare for adrop tomorrow over the capital raise bring done at a discount.
Avita is halted while they close a capital raise of still unknown terms.
Ah Lightwave history. I was thinking of some yesterday. Remember back when Lightwave's Large Systems Supplier, which we are sure was Intel, was testing our coated coupons? Lightwave ultimately couldn't produce the consistent material needed to satisfy them. After a few years the LSS moved on. Now we are well beyond just having a consistent material and we now have a CEO who can speak the same language as Intel, Google, IBM, Mellanox, AMD, NVIDIA ect.
I thought about Lebby's comment; "we are now in the demonstration phase."
Seems like a logical conclusion that we are demonstrating the merits of the material. I half expect that one day soon we will get some sort of JV/partnership dropped on the market and the stock will jump 200-500%, depending on who it is with and the terms.
That is a variant of the 737, but not a standard 737 which I assume they based this report on. There are numerous variants. I thought Boeing was already using Scandium in their aircrafts and would not need to be convinced to do so.
Boeing will be offering four variants: 737 MAX 7, 737 MAX 8, 737 MAX 9 and announced the 737 MAX 10 in June 2017.[132] These variants will replace the 737-700, 737-800, and 737-900ER, respectively.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_737
I find this PR somewhat unusual. The 737 they use as a benchmark was designed in the 60's and had a major revision in the 70s (737 Classic) with a final 737NG being completed in the early 90's. Boeing has been talking about getting rid of the 737 entirely for over 10 years. As of right now, a totally new clean slate design plane is planned for sometime around the year 2030.
Same, also waiting for .30. as promised by Dot not Feather.
Just to clarify, that .78 was some type of fluke. 350 shares on the open and it traded over $1 right after
This sell down from the fund that was bought out in Australia has really hurt us. I think the stock has solid $5-$8 potential in the next year or two
In my experience, since 2012 they've done a better job than every company I've dealt with. New investors and existing large investors will get prioritized but that makes sense.
I bought DFS between $58.30-$59.50 and sold at $61. Up to $64 today, breakout missed.
Ok thanks for telling us about the reduction in short interest of LWLG derp.
No need to spend time one third-party verification when potential customers will test your products directly and give feedback.
Glad to see you back in it Rambos! Your technical calls are pretty much spot on.
Short interest is a low 1 million shares. In my opinion short interest is approximately = to the number of shares held by Lincoln Park Capital. I'm suggesting that the short position is secured by that holding and not true raw exposure, which really, only a fool would want.
That was a joke. Speaking to any credible professional about investing would be wonderful. Thankfully Walter and Jeunke were there to paint a picture of the future for the bankers.
Just enjoying myself. Lebby actually left because he knew bankers wanted to speak to him. He did not want to undermine our wonderful relationship with Lincoln Park Capital by speaking with anyone who could elevate the credibility of company in the financial realm. Much like an abused spouse, we stick with it.
If he had to jet out of there it was most likely for something important and business related and less likely but still possible, something personal.
He had an urgent meeting with Skyworks Solutions
I don't think so. I always thought Sears was the location that introduced it but it was more influenced by Dean Witter/Morgan Stanley.
Personally, I've always thought PayPal had a terrible platform with customer service to match. 1 Amex, a PenFed Visa, and a Fidelity Visa in my pocket. Younger people don't use PayPal unless forced to. We like Venmo, which PayPal was smart enough to partner with early on. Free. No Fees.
Yes, decades ago. True.
Marcelli was having face to face meetings with Steve Jobs when I was an infant. He started his own company and was a supplier for Apple Computer, among others, eventually he sold the company for big $$$$$$$$. Last time I chatted with him, he showed me a pic of his friend's Bugatti Veyron. Some of the smartest people didn't go to college. While others make $26 an hour typing.
Lebby was totally an integral part of Intel Capital. Just ask him.
Doubt we will ever see that with all their cheap warrants.
Lightwave bending shorts over yesterday and today. LPC has next to no share to dump on this run. Someone tell Jim Marcelli to raise money now if he needs to.
Ahead of schedule. Betting against Lebby and his team, a fool's errand.
Is it a cop out if I copy paste some seeking alpha article on DFS? I bought it because their numbers looked good, it seemed like DFS was on the far side of a trading range down while Visa, Master Card, and AMEX are all at highs. I know internally from an employee that Discover is fiercely competitive and always nipping at the heels of the #1 company, American Express, interms of customer service quality and satisfaction.
Copy paste;
Most Attractive Stocks Feature for September: Discover Financial Systems (NYSE:DFS)
Discover Financial Services, a payment service and credit card provider, is one of the additions to our Most Attractive stocks for September. DFS was also a featured Long Idea in December 2014 and highlighted as an underappreciated stock in July 2016.
"Since 2011, DFS has grown revenue by 5% compounded annually. Over the same time, the company has grown after-tax profit (NOPAT) by 57% compounded annually, per Figure 1. The impressive NOPAT growth can be credited to margin improvement from 3% in 2010 to 29% over the last twelve months. DFS also earns a top-quintile 19% return on invested capital (ROIC).

DFS Presents an Attractive Risk/Reward Trade-Off
DFS is down 19% year-to-date while the S&P 500 is up 11%. This price depreciation amidst solid fundamentals provides an attractive buying opportunity. At its current price of $58/share, DFS has a price-to-economic book value (PEBV) ratio of 0.6. This ratio means the market expects DFS’ NOPAT to permanently decline 40% from current levels. This expectation seems rather pessimistic for a firm that has consistently grown NOPAT over the past decade.
If DFS were to never grow after-tax profits from current levels, the economic book value, or no growth value of the firm, is $101/share – a 74% upside. If DFS maintains TTM NOPAT margins (29%) and can grow NOPAT by 4% for the next decade, the stock is worth $125/share today – a 115% upside."
LWLG continues to trade well even while attention has subsided. We have built a good foundation above $1. It is my hope that the company will avoid Lincoln Park Capital going forward. The stock will easily make new strides upward on expected progress if there is no vulture financier to sell into a move.
Don't be lazy Lightwave, go find some new investors when you need funds. NASDAQ may not have us with LPC lurking. You want reputable backers going into an exchange upgrade.
I was under the impression it was a nearly free byproduct.
It's nearly impossible to do that on this site. They immediately delete additional accounts. You can't even have two users in the same household.
Assuming you're talking CAD... sell your shares. It seems obvious that you do not believe in the investment so capital preservation should be your next move. Deciding to go down with a ship you think is sinking is not admirable, it is stupid.
Can't link my own ideas
A NY Firm owns the overwhelming majority of Largo shares. Largo has a market cap nearly double Nio and IBC combined. I think it would be unwise to merge the 3 companies and hand over majority ownership/control to someone else.
Your complaint is not invalid. I used to think that Mark set optimistic/unrealistic timelines to maintain pressure on everyone involved so they work faster. Now I think it is a much more complicated tactic. But, either way, it's not in their best interest to throw far out timelines on the market. If you go off the early video interview with Mark, we were given a timeline that already had NioCorp with an operating mine for 2017. Now it's more like a projection of 2021. This is pretty much the nature of all these penny stocks, even the successful ones.
JimLahey, do you want to take a road trip?
I never prescribed to that idea because it would make so much more sense for institutional investors to participate in the equity portion of the financing, rather than buy in the open market like a regular retail investor.
