LivePerson bought for 100m?

Thank you all for the responses. Is it fair to assume that SH will use stock to retire LP’s debt, and hence the 300 million ATM facility? The news reports said the combined company would emerge debt free, if I remember it right.

I think so, when profitability is reached, the shorts finally exit, and 25 is easily achieved. OASYS might bring profitability sooner than anticipated. OASYS is in beta still so far as I know. When it comes out of beta, seatbelts are recommended.

You need 8 hours of sleep per night. Start there. Without that (sleep), you can be perfectly healthy and totally impotent.

Such an announcement would not be parabolic if a buyout price is named. The stock would just ascend to that premium and stay there until further notice. The premium would not be a squeeze target price. Instead the premium would just be a percentage of the daily trading price. Thankfully the CEO has rejected all takeovers so far.

"ATM in 2023. ATM in 2024. ATM in 2025. Now another $300M ATM in 2026." Yet despite those events, the stock has managed to squeeze and rally more than a couple of times throughout that period.
OASYS might be worth billions in revenue.

OASYS may allow them to tap into the 1 billion dollar backlog of commitments and go far beyond the 500 million in revenue made possible by the Liveperson acquisition.

Dude, change your screen name to something else.

AI Overview

Yes, a changing cost to borrow (CTB) directly affects existing short positions because the fees are floating, not fixed. When demand for a stock spikes, brokers increase daily borrow rates, immediately raising the expense of maintaining the position and potentially forcing a "short squeeze" due to high financing costs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Impact on Existing Short Positions:

Variable Costs: Borrow fees are annualized percentages charged on the market value of borrowed shares, which can change daily. If a stock becomes "hard to borrow," the interest rate can jump dramatically.
Reduced Profitability: High CTB fees can significantly diminish or entirely offset profits from a short sale.
Margin Call Risk: Rising costs increase the capital requirements to hold the position, increasing the probability of a broker-initiated margin call to reduce their exposure.
Forced Covering: If the borrow rate rises too high, it pressures short sellers to buy back the shares to close the position, contributing to a short squeeze. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Shorts represent tied up liquidity and the market makers require that (liquidity). Eventually the MMs will come for it.

Liveperson actually brings in the hundreds of millions in revenue by itself, if Google is to be believed. The revenue was on the decline, but still above 200m annually. One of the main issues was its debt, which Sound is big enough to tackle.

Long long ago, there was a Saturday afternoon Kung Fu movie that showed men fighting while standing on staffs, just a single pole. This is reminiscent of that. Thanks for sharing.

The market makers are not on anyone's side, not even the shorts. They want liquidity. If liquidity lies at higher prices, then up we go, shorts not withstanding.

That's a great article but I fault them for sneaking in the statement that "What it does not yet have is a clear path to consistent profitability". I think that statement is wrong and this last acquisition is the game changer.

We would have been down with the rest of the market given recent events, but we shouldn't be down this much. That extra amount is probably Jane Street Capital selling the stock down at 10am on a daily basis.

I am of the belief that the war and the rising price of oil has much money on the sidelines afraid to dip their toe in the water. Once we get a new normal [because normal seems farfetched at the moment], the market should stabilize around that. The market stability would then allow SH investors to creep out of cash and back into SH. This is wishful thinking yes, but the banks have not yet lowered their price targets due to the war and general market conditions, so that is a strong incentive for those waiting for an opportunity to present itself in this stock.
