How is the above excerpt insightful or useful? And why should anyone read / listen to John Mauldin? He appears to be an info commercial promoter / marketer.
You should really put your gains in $ dollar amounts vs. %'s. What did you make in dollar terms on that 1 MSFT put? Maybe after taxes enough for a couple cocktails?
Do you mean bottom like for the entire bear market or just for the current down wave before things go even lower later this year / or next? If you think the bottom is only another 5-10% away, you must not be forecasting a recession, correct?
Haha... This analyst has been a broken record --- good to see he's sticking with this $28 price target despite HGEN significantly diluting the share base.
When is all this news coming? I'm getting tired of waiting for this upcoming 1,000% spike so I can short it.
Why would anyone compare the amount they spent on manufacturing to market cap? Next you'll compare the amount of money they spent on flights to investor presentations or toilet paper on the c-suite to market cap. Come on man!!
Realistic? Haha... Come on man!! You've clearly been hanging around with CJ too long.
You should probably just sit this one out, given you started saying this when HGEN was in the 6's... Your wonderful advice has led to 60+% losses for anyone dumb enough to listen.
What should we do? Do you not want smart, hard working, driven kids from poor families maximizing their abilities? Pretty much everyone that posts on this message board is old and paid very little to go to school. My summer jobs, part-time jobs during school and a couple of scholarships paid for all of my schooling (undergrad and masters) from a top business school. But now you want to put your foot down and say sorry, maybe next life you'll be born into a wealthy family... go to junior college and make the most of it. I'm a big proponent of making sure kids are able to attend the best school they get into and I'd be happy to pay more in taxes to do such. Also, there is nothing stopping you from sponsoring kids... I've done it for the past eight years.
You now have an issue with Social Service jobs? Should there also be no social workers or teachers because the economic ROI isn't good or not nearly as good as if they selected some other field like finance or computer science?
Community college is great if you're looking at going into a trade or picking up some additional credits in the summer. However, in the vast majority of cases spending two years at a community college will hinder your ability to get a solid four year degree and thus, great paying job after graduating. Not being around the best competition, not having the best professors, etc., can have significant negative consequences.
If you want institutions to be on the hook for loan losses, why would you need private funding? The only thing private funding will do is increase rates charged on loans making the cost of school even more expensive, however, if the losses are backstopped by the institution than there is zero need for private funding. And to cover loan losses, institutions will raise tuition costs and thus, nothing is solved.
Also, under your scenario who determines when a person is unable to pay? It's very difficult today to wipe out student loans through bankruptcy and thus, institutions would rarely have to backstop anything. However, are you saying you would change this back to the pre-1976 bankruptcy laws where students had an incentive to file for bankruptcy (i.e., they could wipe out their student loans)?
What private school and what major? Why do you think she'll be unable to pay off her college loans? What advice would you've given her?
You do sound like an old curmudgeon. What school did you go to and when? Something tells me you could have paid for college with a simple summer job and/or a part-time gig during the school year. Kids don't have that luxury and have very tough choices today, especially if they come from a family that cannot help support them. Ultimately, kids need help with these decisions especially if their parents are unable to provide it and it sounds like you were also unwilling to give advice. This problem is primarily a failure of adults willing to be adults...
Not sure what is at taxpayer's expense, given no material amount of loans have been forgiven. Back in the good old days, college grads played the bankruptcy game and wiped out their student loans. What is your solution to this broken system?
How many times are you going to post the same non-sense? There will be no revenue from European commercialization efforts until there's EUA / approval.
Who's buying more at these levels? If you liked it at $15, $10, $6, $4, $3, you sure must love it sub $2.
The Board had a formal bid process after Musk secured financing (prior to that there was no supported bid) and thus, they performed their fiduciary responsibility. The fact the Board / Bankers didn't negotiate a higher offer is surprising.
Yes, they did. They spoke to Musk after he disclosed his 9.2% stake --- remember he was going to join the Board but after discussions he did not. Musk obviously indicated he wanted to either acquire a larger stake or potentially make an offer for the entire business and thus, it made no sense for him to join the Board.
Musk also said his offer was his "best and final", so there's nothing to discuss. The Board is doing its fiduciary responsibility... it met, discussed the offer, and agreed the offer greatly undervalued the business. It instituted a poison pill which makes obvious sense, and most likely is conducting an informal process gathering other potential interest before deciding whether to start a formal bid process.
There is nothing weak or scared about what Twitter is doing. This is very common and it's how you maximize a potential buy-out offer.
85K treatments... Per the 10K, as of February 15, 2022, they had 67K treatments in the validation process plus another 24K produced or in the process of being produced (91K treatments), plus another 41K treatments in production awaiting product and not possible to predict whether they would be released / available for sale. Guess we know that answer. So, produce 132K treatments and get 85K. I'm sure the FDA will have no issues with this extraordinary production.
Nobody is going to pay $10K per treatment. And good luck applying your revenue to market cap valuation model. Based on that model, HGEN would be trading at $0 today.
When was the last time oil prices actually triggered a recession? Dot.com crash / Sept 11th = Nope, Great Recession = Nope, COVID = Nope
To think oil prices will trigger the next or any future recessions is comical unless of course you think oil prices are headed to multiples ($250+) of the current price and will remain at those levels for extended periods of time.
You've said this multiple times from $6+ down to $2. But a broken clock is right twice a day.
"A lot" of "smart money"? Yeah, something like that. The only "smart" money that touched HGEN shorted it and they'll do it again if HGEN pops. Why? Because there's a massive offering coming and the chance Lenz has any significant material COVID related revenues is essentially zero.
You mean getting vaccinated and boosted is the key to preventing severe COVID and death, right?
You clearly didn't read the 10-K closely as they have no where near 100k doses. Approximately 67K treatments were in "various" stages of validation process, while 24K treatments has been produced "OR" were in process of being produced for which we do "NOT" plan to complete validation --- i.e., you can throw away those 24K treatments. And another 41K are in production for which material has "NOT" yet been released "AND" may require reprocessing. Thus, you can take the 24K and 41K treatments and throw them in the dumpster.
What about production... Did you see the "inventory" levels from the 10K from my prior post? How long will it take to produce your 1 million treatments?
