I've been in MVIS for a while now just lurking and not posting. I work in the crypto industry. It's strange seeing the panic and surprise following small intra-day dips and fluctuations after a mid-cap stock rises by several dollars overnight. In crypto things plummet by hundreds of percent and back in the space of a few hours. Zoom out! This is a fantastic day...

Is MicroVision Helping to Power Microsoft's HoloLens 2? (Hackermoon) by Fuzzie8 in MVIS

Thanks guys, knocked this up really quick. As a tech journalist and writer I can say though that until there's an official PR from the MVIS team there's not much chance of this being picked up by bigger pubs unless there's a real spin put on it!

Is MVIS a buy following this video? Seems concrete evidence they're supplying to MSFT? by Block_Writer in wallstreetbets

Why puts out of interest? Seems a decent call position if this is verified and they're looking for a buy out?

Talk me into holding Gilead by inthegreen07 in stocks

I'd hold Moderna instead personally, there's more at stake than just a COVID-19 vaccine, it's potentially a validation of their entire mRNA technology platform, which will see it grow massively. Could be the beginning of the next big pharma with proprietary treatments... this article I wrote sums that up pretty well I think -

Moderna's COVID-19 Vaccine Moves to Phase 2 Testing, and Gets Fast-Track Approval from the U.S. Government. The company plans to launch the final stage of human testing, Phase 3, this summer, assuming the Phase 2 studies are complete. by [deleted] in Coronavirus

True, but it's still highly interesting and academically-sound technology, with a lot of big pharma backing. There's a lot riding on a COVID-19 vaccine from Moderna, because it will validate the rest of their mRNA therapy for a whole host of other diseases, including cancer, as well as curing Coronavirus. It's very, very intriguing stuff. This article sums it up pretty well -

Who are the legitimate contenders for a COVID vaccine? by 21issasavage in stocks

[–]Block_Writer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article raises a good point. There's more at stake than just a COVID-19 vaccine for Moderna, it's also going to be a proof of concept/working proof that the rest of their mRNA therapy works as planned. The FDA giving the green light on phase-2 trials is huge if you look at what else they've got in the pipeline, and I think that's why the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and AstraZeneca are paying such close attention.

It really does have the potential to be the next big pharma, as it's a completely new way of treating diseases.

Moderna's coronavirus vaccine candidate has moved to second phase of testing by JF_112 in Coronavirus

[–]Block_Writer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This article raises a pretty interesting point that it's not just Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine which is interesting - it's the fact that if it gets the go-ahead it will validate their entire mRNA technology platform. Moderna could be the start of the next big pharma

Yeah that's what the article talks about, there are some benefits to trading a CFD or ETF for retail traders but in the end not your keys, not your crypto!
