Notice the April $12.50 Call strike action (volume and open interest) past couple of days? Another 300+ contracts today although I'm not sure whether they were sold or bought...
Catalyst or a hedge? April is the pivot point regardless...🤔
This is what I get: "

Another (AI produced) news piece on the back of yesterday's NR:
LOS GATOS, CA - Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ:ATOM), a company specializing in semiconductor materials and licensing technology, announced today an increase in its fourth-quarter 2023 revenue forecast to approximately $500,000. This revised figure surpasses the company's previous revenue guidance, which ranged from $300,000 to $350,000.
The upward revision comes after Atomera achieved a key revenue milestone in late December under its first commercial license agreement. This milestone was reached when the customer approved the MST (Mears Silicon Technology™) process following the successful validation of MST film deposition on an Epi tool within their facility. This acceptance indicates that the customer can now independently manufacture wafers with MST, which is expected to expedite development and shorten the timeline to mass production and subsequent royalties for Atomera.
Scott Bibaud, President and CEO of Atomera, stated, "Our first commercial licensee was able to complete installation of our technology and independently validate MST film quality just weeks after receiving our recipe." He noted that this development brings the licensee closer to the commercial distribution of MST-enabled products and demonstrates Atomera's role in enhancing transistor performance and advancing the semiconductor industry.
You saw today's news right? 😏
"Exciting that STM is moving quicker than expected towards production... Our customer can now manufacture wafers with MST on their own which should speed development and shorten the time to mass production and Atomera royalties..."
I like Dan Carlson's (TW_Research) take:
" ...from the PR, "{STM} was able to complete installation of our technology and independently validate MST film quality just weeks after receiving our recipe." Sounds like that is progressing quicker than planned. Also this, "should speed development and shorten the time to mass production and Atomera royalties.”
If you had modeled in them exceeding the tail end of timeline guidance, you might think they are right on schedule.
From my perspective, it doesn't really matter. What is important is to get STM into production and they are executing on this. If/when the next JDA inks, I expect the stock to really take off .
From "Twits":
Jon asks Dan of (TW_Research) :"What is your perspective on seeing this as quicker. Seems like this is the normal process. Install the EPI and validate."
Dan (TW_Research) replies: " I guess it depends upon perspective. This is of course the normal process. However, from the PR, "{STM} was able to complete installation of our technology and independently validate MST film quality just weeks after receiving our recipe." Sounds like that is progressing quicker than planned. Also this, "should speed development and shorten the time to mass production and Atomera royalties.”

Yes! One step closer...
"January 10, 2024
LOS GATOS, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 10, 2024 / Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ:ATOM), a semiconductor materials and technology licensing company, today announced it expects fourth quarter 2023 revenues to be approximately $500,000, an increase from the prior guidance of $300,000 to $350,000.
In late December, Atomera achieved the second revenue milestone under its first commercial license agreement, triggered by customer acceptance of the MST process. Acceptance was achieved after the customer validated the quality of MST film deposition on an Epi tool in its facility. This follows an earlier milestone for completing the transfer of Atomera intellectual property, including the MST film recipe, to this customer.[FL1]
"Our first commercial licensee was able to complete installation of our technology and independently validate MST film quality just weeks after receiving our recipe, bringing them one step closer to commercial distribution of MST-enabled products," said Scott Bibaud, Atomera's president and CEO. "Our customer can now manufacture wafers with MST on their own which should speed development and shorten the time to mass production and Atomera royalties. This effort is a great example of how we work with the most advanced semiconductor companies in the world to improve transistor performance and extend Moore's Law."
That is so great...😁
I'll be on that one on the 16th for sure.
I hated to see this ((#msg-173566163) but I totally get the reason why. People need to move on with their lives. Still, I really enjoyed getting my morning's first glimpse of the market/business news and then periodically obtaining updates throughout the day.
I guess it's just kinda depressing/melancholy to acknowledge we "old timers" are getting older- and seeing this board ($Stock*Shop*Charts*News*Option$) close is just another reminder...
"CNBC's Bob Pisani is letting readers know that closing the year at a historic high is a fairly rare event it has only happened eight times since 1926, and only four times since 1963, according to S&P Global."
Helps "splain today's profit taking and algos running rampant...🙄
I wondered if they held it in other ETF funds but too lazy to hunt it down 😏 Tx!

Merry Christmas my fellow traders/investors!
Yup, still windy here (near Tampa) and east coast gonna get hit good all the way up it appears.
Local weather talking-head says it all has to do with El-Nino being one of the strongest on record...
Sunday musing- I just got back from a 7-day Caribbean cruise (Dominican Republic, St. Thomas, Tortola,) and was supposed to finish in the Bahamas where the Spousal Unit and I signed up to run some jet skis through the waves- The seas had other plans--- 8-10 foot swells with sustained winds 25-30kts gusts to 40+kts. We rocked and rolled for three nights straight on the ship. Still got bruises on my forehead from doing headers into the wall while standing at the urinals (the booze had nothing to do with it). Couldn't get into the Bahamas Friday, so the ship puttered around the ocean all day taking their time getting us back into dock in Florida on Saturday
Came back to Florida yesterday to tropical storm rain and winds.
What gives?😒
S&P apparently gonna rebalance- #msg-173345076
Yeah, originally was Scotty and EVERYTHING transferred to TDA. I had asked in the past about removing my old trading "mistakes" when TDA took over but was told it would cost all kinds of $$ for them to do all the paperwork and DD so I elected to leave them there and take up space.
I wish Schwab would take the other worthless piles of dog biscuits I own and simply make them disappear as well...
Schwab clearing out some of my VERY old (15+ years ago) trading mistakes 🤗 (#msg-173342878)
GENESIS BIOVENTURES???? Never heard of it lol!! Who knows what the original name/ticker was then OR why I even played it...
This is good news- I didn't even know I owned it (not that it even matters at this point) obviously a REAL crappy trade/gamble from the past LOL!!!
Got an email from Schwab (they just finished transferring my account(s) from TDA):
We recently learned that your account listed above holds securities that have no known market and have had no transfer agent service available for the securities for the past six years. Without a transfer agent, the securities are deemed to be non-transferable.
What this means for your account.
Because we’re unable to custody non-transferable securities, we’re removing the securities below from your account and will no longer include them in your online or print statements. You will see the removal as an "Adjust Position" entry on your upcoming statement and within your transaction history. For taxable accounts, this action will not be reported to the IRS.
