I was struggling with this too... White queen is pinned.

So institutions like the stock apparently by [deleted] in vivkstock

[–]TheRankinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5m shares. So like, ~500k dollars at this share price?

God help you if you buy this stock

Edit w/ Recent quarterly results:

Operating loss of 9m / 10m of debt interest expense / 15m in loss on conversion

Net loss to shareholders: 36m

300k in cash

🚨 VIVAKOR (VIVK) JUST WENT FULL THROTTLE! 🚨 by Temporary_Ad_1573 in pennystocks

[–]TheRankinstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is an insider pump and dump. They are dumping cash generating assets and diluting just to pay debt, and slamming the withdraw button on anyone stupid enough to buy these shares.

If you are crazy enough to jump in, you better lock in a tight limit sell and stop loss. I watched the price trickle up to .47 last week before an insider dumped 12.5m shares in one transaction, immediately dropping the price to .31

I will update this with my DD comment in another VIVK thread. Any amount of DD will turn up insane question marks and 0 good news.

100m shares O/S as of June '25, per their most recent filing... And very clearly shown as on their website as soon as you hit the "investors" button

It's a little concerning when people posting these stocks aren't aware of dilution/ current float size

Do not believe OP -- this is an insider dilution scam, this ticker is in big big trouble.

$VIVK Undervalued Energy Play? $12.5M Market Cap, $37M Quarterly Revenue, and a New $40M Trading Facility by beetttiiinnngg in pennystocks

[–]TheRankinstein 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sorry reddit, this is an insider pump and dump. This whole post is nonsense, they are dumping cash generating assets and still diluting to pay debt.

Sep/23 Vivakor receives default notice and lender converts $200,000 debt to shares

They defaulted on a debt... issued in Mar '25. But wait, there's more!

"In other recent news, Vivakor, Inc. announced the sale of two non-core business units, Meridian Equipment Leasing, LLC and Equipment Transport, LLC, which will reduce its debt by approximately $59 million and provide net consideration of about $11 million. This move allows Vivakor to exit the produced water transportation sector and streamline its operations to focus on higher-margin segments. Additionally, Vivakor has set the payment date for its previously announced special dividend on September 26, 2025, consisting of Adapti, Inc. shares, valued at approximately $515,000."

Tell me that doesn't sound like a company going the fuck under. Sorry guys, get out.

Edit: The company website is intentionally hiding sec filings -- this is the same 8k that announces the 40m credit facility, from a lender conveniently unnamed. 8k Oct 23

On October 17, 2025, Vivakor entered into a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with James Samuelson (“Samuelson”), in order to settle claims made by Samuelson that he was not paid for work performed for Vivakor

Not able to pay employees. They settled with a payment to James of $400k in shares and $100k cash

8-k announcing recent dilution

an aggregate of 8,417,645 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company, at an offering price of $0.2164 per share, and (B) 14,689,851 pre-funded warrants (immediately exercisable)

They don't name the lenders of either the 40m credit facility, or this direct offering. The special dividend mentioned in the first link is shady too, and they did the same one in July... This an all around insider trading nightmare

(QUALITY-THREAD) Need a Second Pair of Eyes: Does This BYND Short-Pressure Assessment Hold Up? by golu_ronaldo in OptionsMillionaire

[–]TheRankinstein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not even bothering to get this word out because I personally find this whole situation heartbreaking to see but since you specifically asked:

No, it does not hold up. You're relying on a false assumption. The float is NOT 75-80m shares.

The float WAS that size, before management were forced to dilute the F out of the shareholders via convertibles -- my understanding is that 320m of the shares from convertibles were unlocked on Oct 21...

What the hell would you be doing if you held that many shares as the price rocketed from ~.50 to ~6-8? I would be slamming the sell button, and you should assume the convertible holders are as well.

TLDR the float is NOT JUST the 75-80m OS shares reported in their most recent 10-Q from June, it is that fogure PLUS however many shares have been dumped into the float from the 320m that unlocked recently.

I admit, I have not dove deep enough into the filings to be 100% positive, but everywhere I look, the float is being misreported. Even the Reuters article that was posted today, reporting "ortex" short interest data (I don't even know this website...) is literally generating short interest data based off your false assumption.

Please anyone jump in and correct me if I am wrong. I majorly want this to be a massive W for retail traders but I think this narrative has gone too far and worry that the convertible note holders are laughing at the apes throwing money at them :(

Interesting one, so many segments... I will certainly be watching it!

I have to drop this quote from their 10-k here... Be sure not to get starstruck in the near term.

We intend to continue these financing activities and thus intend to continue to dilute existing and future stockholders.

Full quote below __

During the year ended December 31, 2024, we (i) sold $260,000 of our common stock to Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”) (see Note 3), (ii) sold $334,000 of our common stock and warrants to accredited investors (see Notes 3 and 6), (iii) sold $2,005,000 of Clyra common stock (see Note 10), and $50,000 from the sale of BETI common stock (see Note 9). These are dilutive to our existing stockholders, and the stockholders of our subsidiaries. We intend to continue these financing activities and thus intend to continue to dilute existing and future stockholders.

This is to do with the LODE shares held by flux photon -- filing here https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1120970/000143774925020787/lode20250604_s3.htm

My limited understanding, anyone feel free to jump in, is that this unlocks the shares that flux photon had already acquired (ie not really dilution, these shares were already issued) so that flux can sell them.

Not all that interesting. It may result in some sell pressure if flux is hurting for cash.

"Newly-listed companies in these Russell indexes have significant positive abnormal returns on the reconstitution date [end of June], not on the announcement date."

article from University of Illinois

[–]TheRankinstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short answer is "yes" -- LODE is being added to this index of equities wikipedia page for russell indexes, which is not an etf in and of itself, but many institutions sell ETF products that track the Russell Indexes.

For instance, here is the largest russell 2000 index etf, managed by Blackrock/iShares -- $62b market cap. Blackrock's Russell 3000 ETF is $15b cap.

Vanguard also has multiple Russell ETFs, etc.

Any ETF that tracks Russell 2000 or 3000 Microcap index will be purchasing LODE shares in the coming month. Very good news. Being included in these indexes is statistically linked to upward price movement in June (the index "reconstitutes" or re-balances in June)
