JUST MY OPINION:
You make a very good point about MM controlling liquidity-it's even more than that. When a comp like SPZI- rises from the ashes and has as many shares in the float as does SPZI, MM will absolutely use same to short the stock as the stock price rises from news, and the buying momentum diminishes, to promote "flipper/traders" to sell into the market with them, knowing that they will be able to cover lower until the next news release. Not necessarily the case if the company begins to prove it's bus model, recognizes revs/margins, etc, I believe this is true regardless if SPZI or another new business merged into a "dead" pubco.
As to margins, which seems to be causing quite a back and forth with many on this thread, until we see the company release revs from shipments, operating expenses, cost of goods vs sale prices, etc it's a total guess on everyone's part. If the company said 18% gross margins than that's all we know at this juncture. Undoubtedly there are expenses related to the business but since the size of the orders/shipments(post the trial shipment expected near term) are as large as reported, it seems a reasonable deduction that expenses should not eat a huge amount of the gross margin.
WE WILL ALL SEE IF AND WHEN SHIPMENTS AND FINANCIALS ARE REPORTED
I DO NOT SOLICIT OR RECOMMEND THE PURCHASE OR SASLE OF SPZI OR ANY OTHER SECURITY
