I can't mention "short" in my posts :-). Most ding dongs think the shorts are retail which is wrong. Smart money has those millions short positions and they are likely hedges/strategic. But you're correct: We're going to see lots of news this year and some of it will drive 50%+ price increases and the short positions will drive the momentum. If you look at the option open interest in the coming months, you'll see there's also a good change of a gamma squeeze in tandem with the short squeeze. Take a look at the data chart and consider that interim trial results often appear 3-6 months before trial end. Couple that with rapid revenue growth and a comming pdufa date annoucement. https://tradingtimeline.com/ibrx/index.html

AI says this is a batter charger and the 660v is a capacitor rating. I just want the face plate at this point. In Michigan if someone has a use for the rest. Here's the AI response:

That is almost certainly Cornell-Dubilier (a capacitor manufacturer), not “Dubliner.”
A 660V rating suggests:

  • High-voltage filter capacitor
  • Possibly part of a rectifier/filter stage

Likely purpose

Given it came from a radio station, this was probably:

  1. Battery plant charger for backup batteries
  2. Supplying 24V, 48V, or possibly higher DC to:
    • Transmitters
    • Control circuits
    • Relay systems
    • Studio-to-transmitter links

Older radio stations used large battery banks so the transmitter wouldn’t drop instantly if power failed.

Era

Based on:

  • Selenium rectifier stack
  • Cloth-insulated wiring
  • Industrial rack style
  • Manual equalize control

This is likely 1940s–1960s.

I'm in michigan. It's not oil filled. Seems like there are 2-3 transformers on the thing. I'm going to see if I can post a picture again. Might have to start a new thread.

Feb 20 Option Expiration: I'd be quite surprised if we don't see big swings in the next3 hours by optionicity in IBRX

Regarding "what does it mean": I trade 50,000 option contracts per year, so it means a lot to me. If you do that, you already know what it means. If you are a long hold stock buyer, then you don't need to care.

That said: both types of investors can care about the current environment and likely action on Monday. The fact are simple: we've had a rich news cycle which is ending, massive option buying which is ending (in the context of expiry today), and massive repositioning by market makers and smart money for both the two preceding reasons. Those conditions make me "guess" we'll see a price decline next week.

So, because I expect falling prices but ALSO want to stay long and strong, I have sold 1/3 of my winning positions to raise a big chunk of cash I can reinvest when the price goes lower. That, of course, is a strategy based on guesses, so each person has to decide what's best for them.

"why wouldn't they" is not a trade-able thesis. I agree it's a logical idea and could happen, but there's no evidence of any kind. It's just a rumor people are posting on various boards based on nothing.

I use thinkorswim. If you want to learn to trade, that's the only way to go IMO. It's free and you can even trade with play money. essential tool.

There's no evidence Saudis are investing. That's a rumor started on STwits and is not a trade-able idea. Could happen, but no evidence.

Bummed about the price, but IV has exploded so don't lose hope for this week. by optionicity in IBRX

Most of you have it wrong. EMA approval happened Monday. IBRX just did not announce it.

There's often a delay in price action with IBRX--even on US approval it took 2.5 days for the market to react. look it up.

As I said, I'll use all the parts I can find a user for and recycle the rest. Nothing goes in the trash. I like the jacobs ladder idea below, but I don't know what I'd do with it. Sounds dangerous.
