"....Awesome post... the Novarad & New Caney double play this week is huge, huge, huge... not just for the revs it will create (which likely will not begin to be booked until q3)..."
Which should fit in nicely for our Nov. calls .
rudolfo - looking forward to the next 30 days . So much positive here . I see the glass(ware) more than half full .
without Van and HTFBS I would not of stayed the course . I needed to understand what I owned just so every short that came by didn't cause me to doubt the validity of glassware . I'll always be one of their biggest fans .
couldn't they operate on one of those " patent pending " status
JFM - Do you have a prediction for 3rd quarter revenue ? Thanks.
<.....But to me, Azure’s most stunning recent achievement is to vault itself into the world of containers, which developers love for dev and test, particularly when building microservices-based applications....>
<....You will see ANY in every articles and news about cloud, beginning from 20th of May, no worries man....>
I think that's exactly what he's worried about .
<....Microsoft will reveal more pieces of its cloud master plan at the upcoming Build conference, but the outlines are already there -- and maybe even a little scary....>

I think all our CC will be great from now on . They really made up for the last CC and look how it paid off .
I was just thinking exactly that . This could well be our " coming out " party . No more stealth .
I bought nov. 2.5s for 1.20 but wish now I had a ton more . I may go after some Nov. 5s , especially if we get a dip from a hit piece , although I'm not convinced a hit piece would have much of a effect any more .
this is the kind of stock action I thought we'd get with better earnings of say 25 mil . Amazing what a good CC can do .
Hey ! that's what I'm here for !
Does that mean you don't believe it ?
Nice article !
"....added more in the $3.20's this morning...."
Nice move ! I'll be watching the option calls .
wow ! now there's the post of the day and perhaps the post of the month !
Sphere 3D posts 3.9% gain following virtualization deal
May 13 2015, 16:34 ET | About: Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY) | By: Eric Jhonsa, SA News Editor
Sphere 3D (NASDAQ:ANY) has signed a master purchase agreement with radiology facility owner Novarad to provide its virtualization products/services to 400 facilities.
The companies will "establish a rolling 90 day schedule for refreshing healthcare facilities with virtualization technology throughout the United States." The first implementations are set for Q3. Sphere's V3 PC virtualization and Glassware 2.0 app virtualization solutions are covered, as are its SnapScale and SnapServer NAS storage systems.
Shares rallied to $3.72 in regular trading. They spiked as high as $4.12 before paring their gains.
So your saying you hope the call goes well ?
O.K. and now for the winning numbers ...........??????????
stay as far out as you can and ITM ( in the money ) and you should do fine. You should do research though to understand your risk .
the options express site has a good tutorial on options .
Also if you hold option calls to the expiration date , they usually bring the stock down just prior to expiration . I agree
with your message . There's no faster way to lose money than options if you don't use discipline . On the other hand , the Nov. call options expire around 5 days after the 3rd quarter earnings announcement and odds are I will hold for that.
I'm with you Peter , I've been collecting Nov. 2.5 calls since they issued them .

Sphere 3D
Another earnings short-squeeze prospect is virtualization technology and data management solutions player Sphere 3D (ANY), which is set to release numbers on Wednesday after the market close. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Sphere 3D to report revenue of $20 million on a loss of 15 cents per share.
The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Sphere 3D is pretty high at 8.2%. That means that out of the 16.71 million shares in the tradable float, 1.37 million shares are sold short by the bear. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 8.7%, or by about 109,000 shares. If the bears get caught pressing their bets into a bullish quarter, then shares of ANY could easily rip sharply higher post-earnings as the bears move fast to cover some of their positions.
From a technical perspective, ANY is currently trending below both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bearish. This stock has been uptrending a bit over the last few weeks, with shares moving higher from its low of $3.11 to its current intraday high on Monday of $3.70 a share. During that uptrend, shares of ANY have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed ANY within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings.
If you're bullish on ANY, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $3.90 to $4 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 387,184 shares. If that breakout triggers post-earnings, then ANY will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at its 50-day moving average of $4.34 to $4.70 a share, or even $5 to $5.50 a share.
I would simply avoid ANY or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout and then drops back below some key near-term support levels at $3.11 to its 52-week low of $2.98 a share with high volume. If we get that move, then ANY will set up to enter new 52-week-low territory below $2.98, which is bearish technical price action. Some possible downside targets off that mover are $2.50 to $2 a share.

Very quiet . Lull before the storm ? I'm looking for a robust CC this time .
I bought ANY calls though Fidelity and Tradeking .
Yes , I'd hate to be one of the faithless who watches from the sideline as the share price soars .
160 run rate at just 3 times sales would give us around a half a billion market cap . At least $15 a share . That's being very conservative on both the run rate and the price/sales ratio .
Pepsi , if you believe in the 160 run rate and we get a bit more weakness in the stock before the May 15 earnings I think the Nov 2.5 calls @ 1.20 would be a excellent buy . I picked some up last week and will look for more . Nov. 20th should be right after the 3rd quarter earnings call .
So what your saying is you doubt they will achieve the 160 M run rate ? Once we achieve real revenue , the guessing is over and the accountants take over and do the math . At this point , either one believes their forecast or they don't.
A $6 share price for a run rate of 160 million ? Gee I would hope so !
thanks Danyo11 , look forward to your report .
The next 3 quarters will tell the story . Block out the noise
and dream of Christmas gifts this year. Sugar Plum Fairy's are coming .
The pondering Primate does some great pondering for May.
<...If this article from SA has not been previously posted, it's of great interest....>

<...The NOV. $2.50 calls are available for $1.20.... amazing....>

Increasing sequential earnings will solve all our problems . Wait for it and be happy .
