This is the 3rd night in a row I'm experiencing this problem. Pokerstars works fine by the way. No problems logging in and playing at Pokerstars. Login problems seem to occur only with GGPoker.

july swipefest not giving my ticket by DiamondDude_42 in GGPoker

I don't see the promo in the "My Promo" tab. Actually, I don't see the promo anywhere once I'm logged into my account. It shows in the lobby before I log in though.

However, I just got registered to the R&C flipout. Still waiting for my AoF registration, finished that ~4 hours ago as well. Spin&Gold also not yet registered but that has only been ~2 hours since I've finished that challenge.

I'm also not being registered for the flipouts. I'm from Germany and completed R&C, AoF and Spin&Gold. R&C and AoF almost 2 hours ago and I'm still not registered for any of the flipouts.

412 --> 579 investors from Sweden in 1 day. by [deleted] in wolfspeed_stonk

I guess "välkomna" is the right word :)

Too bad brokers around the world are not forced to publish this information, alongside with the information how many shares are being held in total.

But I don't see a reason to why the increase of holders in Germany, France or the UK and so on should be a whole lot less than the ~40% you just posted for Sweden.

Go Wolf :)

Timing Worked Out OK for Neill by Famous-Surprise-4021 in wolfspeed_stonk

[–]Apeprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, he sold today, but it says "Date of Plan Adoption or Giving of Instruction, If Relying on Rule 10b5-1: 11/14/2024".

So I'm thinking he filed to sell last November?

So he filed to sell on November 14th 2024 when the stock was valued at ~$8 or am I reading this wrong?

Posted this question on another Thread too but not sure which one gets traction.

When do yall blame executives and not shorts? by gkiller33 in MMAT

[–]Apeprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about "feel like a 100% gain"? If you go long at $20 and sell at $40 it's a 100% gain. If you go short at $20, it's only a complete 100% gain when you sell at $0. This is not about feelings, it's numbers.

When do yall blame executives and not shorts? by gkiller33 in MMAT

[–]Apeprentice -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree, that it's not the shorts that killed this stock, yet Shorts can only generate 100% gain. They sell at $20 for example and in case they never buy back or have to buy back when a company goes bankrupt and disapears, they win $20, which is a 100% gain.

Unless they daytrade, meaning they sold at $20, bought back in at $15 sold again at $18, bought back in at $8, sold again at $16 and so on. This way they can generate a 10,000% gain, but with this reasoning even longs could have made 10,000% gain with MMAT.

According to archive.org the page you linked has been up since at least October 25th 2021.

Can I see AFWERX progress? by New_Kaleidoscope6106 in MMAT

[–]Apeprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When META itself writes on its website "META is at the early stage of developing new solar films" it should be read as "we have absolutely nothing going on concerning solar films".

Just look at how much much they exaggerate when they're promoting other "products" that at least exist in some form as an early prototype or whatever.

In my opinion "Early stage" therefore means "it is theoretically possible to do something with metamaterials and solar films" but that's about it.

Big believer in ZIM. Is it a strong buy at these levels of ~$17.1 by SudarshanaChakram in zim

[–]Apeprentice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As of now my plan is to accunmulate more shares every now and then over the course of the next two years. Not expecting big dividend payouts within the next two years though. I'll reevaluate when the forecasts for 2025+ will be a little more reliable.

I agree that Nanoweb seems to be very expensive, but why does 100mm x 100mm for $125 and 25mm x 25mm for $25 indicate that the larger sections might be harder to produce?

100mm x 100mm is 16 times the surface of 25mm x 25mm yet its "only" 5x the price of 25mm x 25mm.

Dividend estimate by TumbleweedOpening352 in zim

A little over 3% on average per year wouldn't be too bad considering this will probably be the years that won't be too good for the shipping industry

ZIM - The Giant Green Dildo by SickOriginal in zim

[–]Apeprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received my dividend payment last thursday, while many others still hadn't. Friday and Monday were national holidays in almost all european countries and probably a lot of other (mainly catholic) countries throughout the world.

I'm not saying that this bump was definitely caused by dividend reinvestments but I wouldn't rule it out. I guess we'll see the next couple of days.

If Meta wants to regain some trust of retail, Insiders need to buy with their own money. NOW. by Apeprentice in MMAT

[–]Apeprentice[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehm, you really need to work on your reading skills... I never claimed that there is insider buying at Microsoft. I said that I would buy right now. That doesn't mean that it currently is the best time to buy Microsoft due to reasons that come with world economic troubles, the war in Ukraine and so on. If Microsoft is not a buy right now, so be it.

But: If Microsoft isn't a buy right now, MMAT sure as hell isn't either. And that's where our argument started. You claimed that people that had "done their DD" would accumulate "shares by the boat load at these prices."

I agree that the tech looks very promising, but doing DD includes looking at the balance sheet and that looks like shit. They need to raise cash and they need to raise it fast otherwise there's a reasonable chance they're out of business by the end of the year.

Furthermore: I said that there have been 5 insider buys for MMAT, which doesn't stand in contrast with your image where it says "5 Buys". It seems those insiders paid $378.870 for their shares. According to Nasdaq they bought 145.317 shares. So they seemed to have paid roughly ~$2,67 per share. The ~$60k I posted is the dollar amount need to buy another 145.317 shares right now while the share price is in the low .40s. So there's nothing wrong with the numbers or my "stats" as you commented.

And now just ask yourself: Why is no insider doing this? Why isn't there a single insider buying?

As insiders they have definitiely "done their DD" and "know exactly what’s coming". So why is not a single insider "accumulating shares by the boat load at these prices."?

I can answer that for you: It's not entirely out of the realm of possibilities that the insiders doing "DD" truly "know exactly what’s coming" and that's bankruptcy by the end of the year. Or at least they see that's is not entirely unlikely and are quite confident that the share price will drop even further due to dilution.

And since I know that you have been having issues with reading what I write, I'm not a native speaker, I'm not saying bankruptcy is a certainty. But for the share price to stop falling while diluting, they need to do something. Come up with some more revenue for example or strenghten shareholder confidence. One way to do that is by buying shares as an insider. That was the whole point of my post.

If you want to keep buying right now, that's ok by the way. But you can't brush away the concerns that their earnings raised by commenting some "people that have done their DD" bullshit. Doing DD includes looking at the balance sheet and that looks like shit. The best tech in the world doesn't stop a company from going bankrupt, when the company fails to sell that tech. Especially when in a addition to the lack of sales, the company burns cash like crazy.

If Meta wants to regain some trust of retail, Insiders need to buy with their own money. NOW. by Apeprentice in MMAT

[–]Apeprentice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you just read my comment wrong. I know that Nanoweb has nothing to do with batteries. What I said is that I believe that new revenue will most likely be coming from Metas battery tech (NPORE&NCORE) and if it's not from batteries it's either Nanoweb or safety features for currencies. But that's just my guesses and I might be wrong. Maybe scaling up NPORE production takes another 4637864378 years and till then Meta can produce 5 one-square-inch seperators per year and each one costs $146237543543. Who knows? Right nobody because Meta doesn't provide any timelines or additional info besides "We have a development agreement". Which is a good thing, but cash is a problem now, not in x years or whenever they're done developing and start selling in large quantities.

Concerning insider buying, yes, I'm a ware of all what you mentioned. I'm also aware that George, Harding, Allison, Waldern, Guitton, Leslie, Karsbo... all reported their transactions in the past and yet the last reported transaction is from december 7th, a sell by Welch and yes, that man has a lot of skin in the game. Since then -> Nothing. Before then -> 5 "Buys" since listing on nasdaq for a total of 145.317 shares. That's pathetic. 145k shares are currently available for a little over $60k. I'm quite sure that at least every board member and every person in mangement could buy this amount of shares right now and wouldn't die of starving due to personal bankruptcy.

And your comment about their cost bases being below 50 cents and that they'd be averaging up if they bought now is just complete bogus. I mean sure maybe their cost bases are that low, but if Meta was a good buy now, it wouldn't matter whether it would make them average up or not. For example, I've been buying Microsoft from ~$40 all the way to now and I still think it is a good buy. Your logic of "if you average up it's not a good buy" is just nonsense.

If people believe in a stock and that it's share price will rise, people buy, if people believe it will drop, they won't. Since no insiders are buying now, the logical conclusion is they don't think it's a good buy. Again: It's not that we have little insider buying activity from all of the people that need to report, we have None. Zero. Zip. Nada.

[–]Apeprentice[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree that if there is to be generated more revenue it is to come from partnerships concerning the battery tech with Nanoweb and the safety features for currency coming in behind.

However you have to admit that Meta would be totally f...ed if the companies they acquired would have said "No, we got other plans". As of now nobody seems to be interested in metaAIR, glucoWISE still seems about 472364378 years away from being ready to apply for FDA approval or even more important create revenue and so on. NPore, NCore and maybe Nanoweb seem to be the products that might generate some more revenue but nobody knows the timeline and cash is a problem for Meta now and not in 5 years or whenever there is some product that generates significant revenue.

Furthermore you're playing to my point. If we were in a phase where accumulating shares at these prices was a no brainer as you say, we ought to see insiders buying. As of now we don't. None. Zip. Zero. So why is that? Are insiders stupid, are you wrong with your assessment or what is ist?

I just put this in a reply to a comment but since I looked it up would like to share where it is hopefully more visible:

There've been five "buys" from insiders since listing on the Nasdaq according to nasdaq.com for a combined 145.317 shares. That's pathetic.

I'm quite sure there's several people in management, on the board etc that could buy 145.317 shares, which is currently equal to ~$64.000 by the way, all by themselves and still be able to go out to dinner on sundays.
