I wish some insider would buy out PG's employment contract...

We don't appear to be getting any follow through on the volume from yesterday.

Although I applaud his enthusiasm, and am long LWLG and hope for a very positive outcome here, I'm really tired of Proto's posts.

Proto is a "positive spin" version of Chicken Little or The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

This is a case where less would be more...

Onle real news that I have seen relates to the financial restatements.

It would only tell them something if they looked. I agree that management needs a wake-up call but a zero volume day won't get it done.

No one is ever going to recoup their investment through a class action suit. Pennies on the dollar years in the future at best.

I am not waiting. I think the $3 area is a very good entry point. I wrote some March 3 puts today.

That happens frequently with a lot of stocks and does imply anything specific about AESO. Bottom line is that MMs are not required to show the full amount bid at a given price, and most of the time they simply show as much of their hand as they are required to show.

A lot of the wider loss was non-cash. Here's the excerpt from the ER.

"Primarily driven by the non-cash changes in fair value of $93.3 million from derivative liabilities related to the 2029 convertible notes and warrants, net loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $108.0 million, compared to $21.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023."

I am not an accountant, so I am not sure of all the ramifications that might have.

Release the Hound!

Let's see some $ figures published by the company before we get too excited. At this point, there is no evidence of VDRM providing product(s) in volume or, if so, that those products are not being given away, or that the transaction is structured to benefit Otiko personally and not VDRM.

Here's an article that is relevant to Tang and his M.O.

Fair enough. I need to move on, but I hope everyone makes a bundle on LICH.

Right now I have my remaining 327K up for sale at .0093. Looks like only 10K of that is showing on level 2.

I don't know who has been buying but I have been selling .0069s for a while. I have raised my ask on the rest of my shares, but I want to move on.

The issue is not the dollar value of NVDA's stake or what % of SOUN they had, but rather that NVDA's investment was seen as a long-term endorsement of SOUN and its technology. NVDA's investment in smaller companies is a really good indicator of where they see future demand going. Today's news indicates that NVDA sees SOUN as less involved in that future than the companies they bought stakes in and those they continues to hold (for example, APLD).

and a few more at .054 - volume now 108K

And now another 25k, these at .054

Is anyone aware of anything going on with GVDI?

The website shown on Yahoo Finance https://www.goldenvalleydv.com/ does not work.

Yahoo shows a Clearwater address but the phone number shown, 775-344-1313, is a Nevada number. I left a message but am not holding my breath, the voice mail greeting made it unclear whether I had actually reached GVDI.

Be on the lookout for nothing to happen.  

Calm down, sparky!

There is no point in suing him. There is no case.

He simply made a statement aligned with his own self-interest. He was not trying to deceive anyone - he doesn't need to.

I am sure I would win this. As many times as OPTT has been recognized as top stock and or top pick stock, which is pretty often, it has gone down double digits % the next day.

Markets are closed as today is a national day of mourning for former President Jimmy Carter.

Note - Schwab operates this program at the ACCOUNT level (which can be an issue). In other words, if you authorize lending for a given account, ANY security in that account can be lent out.

I would prefer it to be security by security within each account - in other words, I'd like to authorize the account for lending but then be able to say "no lending on WXYZ". I have suggested this to Schwab several times but it has not changed and I don't expect it to.

As of today (1/6/25) ASKH is on the Expert Market. They took us and stuck us where the sun don't shine.

yes - that is their securities lending program. It is pretty simple. You authorize your account for such lending, then they can grab the shares at any time and lend them out. They split the income with you. At any time you can see what rate you are being paid on any stock they have borrowed, and at any time it only takes a phone call if you want to have them retrieve the loaned shares so you can sell them.

It is a good way to get some current income out of stocks that don't pay dividends, especially on stocks you are holding for the long term. They do pay out to you every month (even though the interest rate they quote is, naturally, an annual one). The interest rate varies by stock and over time - it is tied to the rate at which they are loaning out the shares. Sometime the rate paid to you can get pretty high - up in the 30% rate.

If your perspective is short term then you might be concerned that this makes shares available to shorts and therefore might depress the price short term - but that is not an issue if you are not looking at short-term trading in the stock.

I have done this with many securities at Schwab in the past, although I have nothing out on load at present.

Somehow I doubt that anyone marked Jan 2 on their calendar noting "gotta buy some VDRM at the open!". :)

Nor did anyone make a New Year's resolution to "own more VDRM". In fact, maybe the opposite...

Hapuna is wonderful

.05? Let's start with baby steps - how about .01 first...

It's like waiting for Godot...

Good plan.

I have been making some lunch money trading in between the spread on some warrants - notably WGSWW, TVGNW, IVCBW. No big positions, just trading the big spreads.

Two ideas for you:

first - maybe place a trailing stop at 5-10% behind the market?

second - looks like you might get a spike to $5

The North Korean dictator look for his hair has got to go...

Actually, that kind of margin call liquidation happens all the time, and MONI is exactly the kind of down-market penny stock that gets liquidated in such situations. I have no way of knowing whether that explains today's drop on big volume, but it could, and seems more likely to me than general tax selling.

The timing (on a Monday, with no news or other trigger event) and the fact that all of the selling happened at once right at 8 am Eastern and apparently without regard to price (just hit the bid) support my theory.

Nothing changed for MONI over the weekend (whether you like it, hate, or are just holding on and hoping).

Please note that I was not making a bull case for MONI with my post, but simply advancing a more targeted (and I think more likely) explanation for why there was a sharp drop on big volume this morning.

Given it is a Monday, more likely this was a forced liquidation after a margin call, where the broker starts from the bottom of the portfolio (in terms of listing tier) and sells at the bid until the account has sufficient funds for the margin call.

Hope we see some tangible signs of life in early 2025.

Getting re-reregistered is far rarer than a rebound from the EM!

He had disclose as he already owned over 5%...

Show me the money.

Without dollars attached to it this PR is just more fluff.

After a long painful hold here I am out at a loss. Not ASKH-specific, but doing some broad portfolio housecleaning.

Must admit, although I took a loss I am glad to see ASKH in the rear view mirror.

Good luck to those of you still holding.
