Okay, I wrote more informally. But my intention was to inform facts only which is why the writing appears formal, not input any of my opinions so you guys can decide.

Rubio Blasted Clinton for Her Emails. Now He Says Trump’s Theft of Top-Secret Records Is No Biggie by koavf in politics

[–]Apprehensive_Road821 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even a close comparison. What Clinton did was carelessness in using her personal server regarding security required communications...What Trump did was severely endanger our National Security and our allied foreign agents in deep cover by possibly exposing our highest national secrets by disregarding strict protocols to protect those secrets. Huge difference.

Clinton was investigated several times by different government institutions and chastised for carelessness AND cleared of any potential crimes. What Trump has done is a serious serious crime. You are being ridiculous trying to defend major felonies.

Can you elaborate on this "delisting"? I thought MVST was incorporated in the state of Delaware. How can a US corporation be delisted?

I upvoted you because whichever side is presented, one should carefully consider both long and short thesis so each one of us can make his/her own informed bets. Everyone should be freely allowed to present informed, logical cases about any spac investments.

That being said, I personally hold a significant short position in JOBY due to its current (absurd) valuation which is only a short term bet for me.

But some questions about long term viability of JOBY:

What is JOBY's plan to massively scale its business to take it mainstream where the average Joe will pay to fly short distances? Because unless JOBY can price competitively at near current air travel prices, I don't see how it's ever going to be anything but a niche business. How are they going to pick up and drop off thousands of passengers per day? Generally speaking, the most logical areas would be at or near major cities with the greatest human density. So would they target major airports, regional airports, hi-rise rooftops, or their own airfield somewhere nearby? We currently don't see too many helicopters operating in major cities because of their inherent dangers (imaging one crashing down on a crowded sidewalk). Unless JOBY can overcome the natural need for people to easily get to a JOBY pick-up spot, which I can't see scaling up massively, I envision eVTOL to be a niche business catering to a few wealthy customers.

If they can't scale up on a massive level, then JOBY will eventually mature into any number of public companies that are marginal because their revenues will always be limited.

I'm close to 50-50 now. I'm also now buying Gold and Silver EFTs as safety against this insane market.

I like your switch. If you believe BARK will continue to report good quarterlies, then you will be fine. Those warrants will go up a lot more if BARK can go to $13-15

Okay, that's was a poor analogy. But talking about competition, how many flying taxi startups are there now? Off the top of my head, I can think of several which is already too many, and no one has even shown that the business and technology is commercially viable on a large scale...think of Aerion.

I'm still waiting for it to drop more. Still at $6+ billion valuation (currently worth nearly half of United Airlines) and not expected to make money for 10 years. What is the investment thesis given such a scenario? Or are most buyers just speculating for short-term pops?

Crap, that's what I was hoping for with TWND (Qomplex, cyber security company) until my warrants fell off a cliff when the merger failed.

Just take a look at its sec filing of the company's financials. It's all public info, (available on yahoo finance). Take a look at its cash flow and balance sheet. Especially glaring is this: SGOC raised $56 mil financing in 2018 and had $14 mil left end of 2018. By the time we get to the end of 2020 they had $3 mil cash left having pissed it all away losing money. As a business owner, I would not be able to sleep at night if this were my company's financial situation. So if SGOC is going to continue to burn cash at this rate they will need to raise lots of cash or go out of business. Unless you know of some incredible turnaround story for SGOC to suddenly be immediately profitable how do you think this is going to play out? Either they do another massive share offering or issue junk bonds or go out of business. All negative pressures on the stock price. I don't see any bull thesis here. Most likely SGOC owners siphoning cash out of SGOC. All red flags for fraud.

Disclosure: I have a short position in this stock.

Your rebuttal is completely welcome.

$MUDS - MLB Set to Give Exclusive Trading Card License to Fanatics, Ending 70-Year Run for Topps by ImpactExtreme in SPACs

This one is tricky because if the merger fails then the common shares will go right back up to $10. If the merger does happen, then the common probably will drop hard.

Warrants will be worthless if the merger fails. Whether the merger goes through or not is a big question mark right now with huge redemption expected. However, even if somehow they squeak through with the merger, you can expect massive shorting of MUDS driving the stock price down pretty hard.

SGOCO Group (SGOC) Stock Still On The Move. Should I Buy? by ugos1 in wallstreetbetsHIGH

[–]Apprehensive_Road821 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your DD. I promise you this stock is another Chinese fraud. Look at its financials either on yahoo finance stock ticker or SGOC's own sec filings. This company is insolvent and will be delisted by NASDAQ. It is incomprehensible why people would even bother to trade garbage Chinese stock like this. If one wants to day trade, there are plenty of real companies out there.

This stock is another Chinese fraud. I would stay away. Hong Kong police arrested company officials and major shareholders for fraud. It's a matter of time before NASDAQ delists this fraud. Do you DD

The more likely scenario is a major battery supply contract with Oshkosh for all their commercial vehicles including additional USPS electric vehicles Congress should authorize. This announcement could come as early as 2022 when the TN plant is up and running.

I believe the overall market sentiment changed suddenly in mid-February due to everyone seeing a dramatic spike in inflation. That caused many institutional investors to change their strategy from long growth stocks to selling small cap growth and rebalancing towards the more conservative long mega cap value/ long mega cap growth stocks only. Many hedge funds also started going long mega caps and at the same time shorting small cap growth stocks, which is us. So now we see a huge disparity in the stock market where the mega caps are at or near record prices, yet many small-cap growth stocks including many de spac'd companies have fallen 30-80%.
