SMCI put setup says big rally above $42
this week before they expire
on Friday...
Big sold put amounts are held on
values up to the $42 price...
All face exercise if price is below $42
or $35 etc at close Friday...
Large amounts of calls have been bot
up to those prices also...
Yeah, the options are very cheap now, but
that shouldn't be the motivation to hold...
SMCI could be worth up to $100 billion or
more as a private company or up to
about $170 per share...
Hopefully they pop out some news ASAP
to let folks know they will stay public...
EY looks like they could be s spy group
going around harvesting sensitive info
from companies and move on when they
are cut off from more access to it...
EY has churned a lot of clients...Next...

Additional changes to bring in another

Good luck to the next choice for

Choosing to take a Republican Senator out
of Florida leaves a hotly contested seat
filling ahead, if the choice stands...
Senate margin probably erodes with a

It is a reward system but rewarding folks

SMCI undervalued three to ten fold if Private
with current 13 billion market cap...
24 billion annual revenue times only
one yields 24 billion market cap...
around $46/share value instead of
$25/share at low end valuation...
40 billion annual revenue potential with
higher production online now available...
three times higher value potential at
around $75/share at low end valuation...
Short attack has played mind games
with investors in a public company as
it was intended to do...
TSLA is selling at 12 times annual revenue...
NVDA is selling at 38 times annual revenue...

Investors will awake from the fog and
the tide will shift and roll over the shorts...

SMCI will hire an Auditor whether they stay
public or go private...
Shareholders have about same amount
of ownership either way...
SMCI increased their competitive advantage
in 1st quarter against competition...
SMCI new facilities in Cal increased their
production capacity even more...
SMCI facility opening in Malaysia will
also boost efficiency and cost...
All the noise out there would love to take

Biden already passed 100% tariffs on China
EVs sold in the U.S....
TSLA market share has kept declining
in China since that smooth move...
China wasn't selling many EVs in U.S...
with so much competition from four or five
companies selling EVs in U.S. already
in addition to TSLA...
TSLA pump always rides hype on autodriving
tech that isn't needed much...
Sure richy-rich can buy a higher priced auto
with auto drive,,,
but 90% to 95% of buyers aren't likely to
pay a lot more for auto with auto drive...
Pumps always come down to the
Reality of Economics...
so we watch...LJ
SMCI looks safer than owning TSLA at
current prices now,
so NVDA should be ok...
https://stocktwits.com/Bulltard34/message/591939989
TSLA more overvalued than all those
other auto makers combined reared

Possible bounce to 42 or so on chart
may be possible with Nasdaq extension
being granted...
There are or were some large state
retirement funds invested in SMCI...
Innocent until proven guilty seems most
likely choice by a Nasdaq board to allow

But there is no sure thing because no one
even knows if SMCI filed to try to get
an extension yet...

Some of us would lose massive tax loss
set ups if we bot more...
They had, supposedly, less than 3% of
revenue from companies barred by gov't
restriction changes before last year,
and stated that they stopped selling to
any of those,
so that may get passed over...
Do they have a policy for Errors and Omissions
in place after years ago problems?...
May never know that either...
Still possible that nvda is still propped up
until big politico investors can harvest
long term capital gains...
If you notice SMCI chart, the big selloff
didn't start until cheap share price area
was over a year old allowing capital gain
tax breaks for sellers before big drop...

https://www.reuters.com/technology/us-ordered-tsmc-halt-shipments-china-chips-used-ai-applications-source-says-2024-11-10/
Prohibition of advanced chip sales to China
was Already in place...
And TSMC was trying to abide by it...
LLC company created by China or Russia
are hard to detect by companies...
Gov't has to be upfront and provide lists
of Barred LLC Companies before rapidly
chastising tech companies...
Big problem is that China already has
the technology to build the advanced
Ai chips now and cheaper,,,All they had
to was get one Ai chip and reverse engineer
it so that they can build them...
NVDA had big pump earlier in year
because China black market chip sale
prices were being spread on media...
West is probably soon to be behind the
competitive curve in selling Ai chips
abroad because of Protectionism...
More tariffs won't help get cheap
avocados or tomatoes from Mexico
either, so Trump will face many bad
reviews on higher food costs...
so we watch...LJ
Media keeps reporting Jensen is backstabbing Charles
of SMCI on blackwell chip deliveries
in multiple articles...
That would be concerning after Charles
did so much to help promote NVDA...
We could use some clarity on that from
NVDA if they aren't backing SMCI...
SMCI having 5 billion of inventory on hand
at end of 1st quarter, 2025, 09/30/2024 ending
quarter, makes it Very hard to believe that
Charles mispoke about needing the new
Blackwell chips as soon ASAP...

NATO can't trust Trump to not give away
part of Ukraine after the invasion of

SMCI,,,why doesn't a shorted float of 60%
versus about 23% show on it?...
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/SMCI/key-statistics/
A lot of institutions hold shares and
sell calls or puts to generate income
while they are holding...
Institutions and Insiders hold around 70%
of the shares...
585 million shares would have around
30% float...
175 million shares would be floating
from those 585 million shares...
sure, there are some flipper institutions...
100 million shares short is almost
60% of around 175 million share float...
Only about 75 million untethered to shorts
is roughly the average daily trading volume...
Seems to kinda explain why some companies
can have such volatile price moves...
Realize that this question is asked in hind
sight because the dates of info always
lag for public to get access to...
Have no idea of anything that might cause
a short covering rally on it...
Just wanted to ask what might seem like
a silly question, but still holding shares,
so there you go,,,that explains silly...

SMCI has seemed to disclose relationships
in the company to other companies...
Break up the Smart Family Ties and you
can get more control over the market
because you can slow their time for new
product development in the future...
Concentration of risk of above 60% of
Accounts Receivable with only three
companies may be worth watching...
Just how strong are those big Three?...

Cal state rejected whistleblower request for unemployment
benefits due to breaking NDA...
Now goes to arbitration as requested
by SMCI...
Original reason for firing has remained

The DOJ rep may be the only outside
party to get copies of what really spawned
the firing and ultimate backlash by fired
person after that...

E&Y resignation didn't disagree with any

Extension from Nasdaq to allow more
time now to file 10K filing is absolutely
needed by SMCI now with new auditor...
for kicks estimate, SMCI could move into
top 180 on S&P 500 list by Revenue by
maintaining $6 billion per quarter Revenue
generation in fiscal year 2025, If Audited...
so we watch...LJ
SMCI insiders gifted shares have nothing on
the line like institutions and retail
buyers have their real money at risk...
There still seems a disregard of keeping
real money investors updated every day
now by those insiders...
If accounting firms have dropped by for
coffee and doughnuts to talk to SMCI
then folks need to know...
Any potential audit candidates may want
to review a Lot of info before accepting
the position...
Investors already know that...
Have they filed the appeal to Nasdaq?...
No time to drag on that item...
Investors need to know...

NVDA way overvalued if SMCI can't sell there
products due to not filing impairing
their biz production...
Losing SMCI production capacity would
immediately lower NVDA revenue...
There is no other production available

can't buy NVDA chips to resell in their
products...
It could end up a big mess,,,
but hopefully the situation at SMCI
gets resolved...

OK, the SMCI option action appeared
to move to heavy buying on calls
on Wednesday with price drop...
30, 35, and 40 call volume for this
Friday saw extra heavy volume...
It shouldn't have been sold action
because the option prices plummeted
at open with the lower share price...
The action was on buying that would
need a price near those price marks
to get ITM by Friday...
Also had some similar activity at same
prices for the next week ahead...
Implies same possible expectation of a
price move by this Friday...
Could be nothing to it, but wanted to
mention it just in case...
In reverse, they drove option prices sky
high into Tuesday close, before the price
drop on Wednesday...
Will they be consistent?...

No money to be made on over priced
