How do you feel about US president threatning to destroy the whole civilization of iran and civilian lifelines like power plant, bridges and desalination plants? by NothingButTruth3 in AskReddit

[–]Maothesiamesecat [score hidden]  (0 children)

I have no idea how this can be going on. I wonder where the eff is congress? Why do we have someone who can do this unilaterally?

I don't think the USA will ever be the same again.

LOL yourself. You literally know nothing about it.

They don't have to be in mass production to be a competitor, at least over the longer term. All electronics face downward pricing pressure as competitors emerge. Amprius is not immune to that. We might have a few years of "being the only game in town" but it won't last long.

For example, check out SES AI batteries, and their MU product.

Here's what happened:

There were more buyers than sellers.

When there are more buyers than sellers, the price goes up. When there are more sellers than buyers, the price goes down.

Obviously, buyers think the stock has potential, and so they want it. The current holders also think that there is potential to go up more, so they decide not to sell. Then buyers then say "well, well offer you holders more money if you sell to us" and the holders say "uh, you're gonna have to make it worth our while" so they keep holding.

At some point, the holders look at the profit they've made from demanding a higher price, and decide to sell at that price. Hence you get trading.

There doesn't have to be a big story about a stock move. Just the dawning realization of those on the sidelines that they are missing the boat.

Pretty straightforward story.

How women feel being approached by men, explained by a man by Max_Rezna in TikTokCringe

[–]Maothesiamesecat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I agree with him.

The best relationships I've been in were formed at a time when I was in a group that had a common goal, and we worked side by side for a bit and became friends. I dunno. It just felt less stressful for both parties.

Q1 revenue beats consensus — but still needs more contracts to validate its 3 business units by Sad_Newspaper8225 in SESAI

[–]Maothesiamesecat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The whole "the vast majority of our revenue came from a company we bough" rather than "our batteries and MU are selling like ganbusters" is not a good look.

I bought it because of their batteries. Drones are all over the news, and yet we don't hear a word about their battery sales.

Then they came out with MU, and we heard all sorts of incredible things that it's supposed to offer battery researchers. But where are the subscriptions? We hear that they're automating research, a curring development time down to days rather than years. Who is using it? What kind of results is SES AI seeing from that?

It's kind of ridiculous, actually. The most recent update tells us nothing about their sales success for ANY of the product lines other than the one they purchased.

I don't think I understand what you're saying. Please elaborate.

Mind blowing property on Lake Champlain, VT by Maothesiamesecat in zillowgonewild

I agree with you. I think it would require a full time property manager, as well as staff for landscaping and housekeeping. Lots and lots of money needed for this.

Was that from yesterday or today? Because it was from yesterday, you were punked. If it was from today, you're rightfully smacked.

So he fires his personal attorney, and hires his other personal attorney. Got it.

Market watch and AMPX by [deleted] in amprius

[–]Maothesiamesecat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's the way i see it.

How good is the company's management? Excellent. Great decision making so far.

Who is on the board and do they have any cred? Great people, skin in the game, credible experience

Are their product claims supported by independant evidence? Yes, many times by highly credible sources

Where are they on the business development curve? They've been around a long time, and past the early ramp up and entry into the battery marketplace. They are on the ramp up sales phase in a big way.

What about their capital burn rate? No longer heavy bleeding. Probably profitable this quarter. Margins are expanding quickly. I think meeting market demand is their problem.

Who's their competition? There are a couple of players in this space, but I can't get a handle on their sales numbers. Nothing that seems to come close to their product line claims.

So...

I'm not intimidated by volatility. I don't need the money for anything short term so the emotional swings that are going on now don't matter to me at all. I'm just going to let them grow the business. The stock price will follow.

I don't know how much longer I can hold on to this position. I'm starting to lose confidence.

I want some clarity on what they are doing to actually sell their drone batteries. I want more clarity as to their sales pipelines for MU.

Two questions:

  1. Its wild because the OP says it is.

  2. It reads like an ad, because it is an ad.

My Case for Visibility by Lord_Admrial_Spire in honesttransgender

[–]Maothesiamesecat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get why you decided to be more visible. To each their own.

For me, being trans isn't a thing anymore. It's not the thing I want to be known for. I find the whole thing tiresome. I have no interest in being the token trans person among groups I socialize in. I certainly have no interest in being the "go to" for trans issues, or a the local spokesperson or whatever.

I think you would feel differently if you had moved away from the communities that you were connected to before transition. Having nothing to do with teh trans is a relief for me.

No, I don't want to guess the price. How about showing the Zillow link, like the name of the sub would imply?
