Like, I know it's absolutely dumb to have all of your eggs in one basket, which I do. I know it's dumb to have thousands of dollars invested in the stock market which I know nothing about, which I do as well.

I learn by doing lol, and this is me just moving the DOGE profits around to try and watch it grow. If it takes a year or two to see a huge return (if at all) I'm good with it. I do hate that I was learning so much about the stock and crypto market in my down time and have lost a lot of that knowledge. I can look back 15 pages and not even know what the hell I myself am talking about in some of my posts. I'll be back in it next fall for sure, making a couple hundred bucks a day day trading crypto was a fun time waste with some monetary upside.
Not smart to have your eggs in one basket, but I've been doing the same. My portfolios everywhere is majority $MVIS. I trade using margin. I've seen my portfolio grow from hundreds of dollars to hundreds of thousands. Mostly in the course of 1 year. Winter came and I started really studying and learning different things. Now it's what I do. There's good days and bad days. Most importantly, I'm home to help my wife with our kids and I only trade a couple/few hours a day.

I learned to trade by actually doing. And not using a paper account. I've tried a paper account before and it just didn't "click" to me initially until I started using real money. Same with options. Now I primarily use options mostly day trading the $SPY.

Pretty much my strategy. If I don't have any skin in the game I don't give a shit. I'm using all real money, and it is 100% profits from fucking DOGEcoin lol. If I lose everything, I actually don't lose a cent because it's all paid back and transferred out. I'm in the same boat with MVIS... There's other stocks I'm interested in, and I want to diversify, I just know the most about MVIS because of your posts and my own research, so I stick with what I know.

Jesus... 10K shares. That's awesome. I remember when you first started talking about it and I bought 100 and felt like a winner lmao. If MVIS pops and does anything over $100/share is when I would probably consider selling half of my position and putting it into an aggressive managed account.
I started with about 600 shares back when it was a little over $1. It spiked up to $2.xx and I sold. It dipped and I bought more. Ended up having about 4k shares by January or so, then MY Luckin Coffee (Chinese Starbucks) popped and I sold about 2k shares for another 3k (or slightly more) of $MVIS at around $5 or $6 (after the initial pop to $9.xx). Then I bought more options and I was trading 500-1k shares on margin and after a scalp and I bought another 1k shares on margin at $7, I never sold. Then I exercised a bunch of calls that were DEEEEP in the money ($1,$2, $3, & $11 strikes). <--Meaning, I had call option contracts that allowed me to exercise if I wanted to (which I did) to buy 100 shares of $MVIS at that strike price. So I ended up with a total of over 9200 shares. That doesn't count the shares I bought for my 2 daughters neither.

I started with $MVIS by a rumor. I said I'd buy the rumor sell the news kind of thing. Then when I did more research I immediately started accumulating. One day it popped. My account when from a few thousand, to $10k (after throwing about 1k every now and then plus gains), then it went to $30k in December when $MVIS popped. I owe a lot in margin, but even if I decided to sell it all, and just say fuck it, I'd still be left with a good chunk. I always told my wife that although I love $MVIS and believe it'll be a hell of a lot bigger, I won't hesitate to sell if my family and I need that money.

I forgot that I do have KRKNF and NWBO in my E-Trade account as well. Not a substantial amount. I've been waiting to get some money in from sold inventory that I can use to deposit into my E-trade to purchase MVIS and then sell it out of RH. Ideally I'd like to do it before a spike because at $13.60/share I'm down about $1/ share from my average cost, and would love to not pay the capital gains on it lol.

I forgot about KRKNF. Lol. I've been playing a little bit with my TD Ameritrade account with several hundred and buying different stocks here and there. Last and most recent one was DPLS. Bought in at 10 cents and it dropped to 7 for a couple weeks. Then popped close to 20 cents and I thought it'd go higher. So I held it back down to about 15 cents and sold. I think I still have that cash sitting there (or I bought more MVIS, lol).

Hit my limit buy. Bought another 100 shares MVIS
I put an order in to sell my full managed accou t and transfer to my ETrade. It's going to take up to 2 days to sell and withdraw and 4-5 days to transfer and settle. Lol. I did request to make my primary ETrade account to a margin account and see if I can buy what I want but it's going to take up to 2 days for them to approve it. Lol.

$HOOD. Damn stock IPO'd at about $30/share. Had a lackluster first day, but the second day went up to $50ish then low/mid $50's after hours. This morning, it ran up to $85. Now it's currently around $63

Not sure why but this one screams stay away. Little things I read/rumors about this doesn’t seem good. Maybe to jump in for an hour.

It's extremely volitile today and the past few days. I scalped it a few times and wanted to buy premarket but didn't have the opportunity to jump in when I did. As soon as it opened, it took off! One thing to keep in mind is that the insiders who bought before ipo day has to hold for 30 days. So when that time comes, there could be insider selling.

Learned something new today. I owned 4 shares of GE at 12$ and it did a reverse split (?). I now own zero shares and each share is now going for $100. They gave me $51 back.

View attachment 96058
I got burned on a reverse split. 9/10 times it isn't taken positively anyways and most of the time it takes a little bit to get back up (with smaller cap companies). With larger cap or more known brands, reverse splits can pullback then go right back up right away. There's also a thing called a forward split. Exact opposite. 1 share of Tesla at $1000 gets split to 5 shares at $200 each.




Anybody listen to the earnings for $MVIS! Great call. Touched on practically everything I mentioned. The ATM isn't done but they don't plan on finishing it right now. They wanted more money on the books to build more confidence with potential customers and investors. They explained practically in detail their future plans. They called out other competitors with how they didn't and haven't shown actual data. They officially announced being in the Microsoft Hololens 2. Share price jumped almost 15% by close of after hours. Great call finally!

I fucking forgot to buy more today fuuuuck
I was hoping my withdrawal would transfer to my other ETrade account so that I could have bought more. I did buy another couple calls a couple days ago. Those should be green. The others.... Will probably still be in the red until we reach over $17 or $18.

Nice I made a little $2/share pop just due to this.

I haven’t done detailed research or looking at old postings. But is this more of a hold for long term or just until a certain time/amount.

so what if MVIS is valued about right and all the other LIDAR companies are just super over-valued?
One other lidar company (that is a big competitor) is worth less than we are (price per share). Another one have developmental deals/contracts. They have to meet certain criteria within certain time lines. If we get more validation and a customer and prove our product is better than $LAZR, we should at least be at their market cap. That would put us roughly around $36/share. That only includes our lidar vertical. We're undervalued based off what we can produce and will produce. Sometimes it takes time to get priced in and with certain criteria being done or met. What's the likelihood of many other competitors being over valued and us being the only one being correctly valued? Very unlikely. My funds finally got transferred. Now I'm ready to buy calls and shares. Next milestone I'm looking forward to for $MVIS is the IAA (the show they're doing in Germany). The CEO did mention they will have video demos and live demos, and they will PR videos during and after the event. That's going to be huge. Another thing to mention was that he called out the other big competitors since they haven't put out actual data while $MVIS has.

This would be a longer term hold. Currently the company will finally prove in person with live demos and videos of their data and their Lidar. So in and around September (the IAA), expect validation of the lidar product and the data that the company has been touting. With validation, comes proof we are the superior product and we then can at least meet the market cap of our next major competitor which has a market cap of roughly $6B. That same market cap for $MVIS would be roughly $36ish per share. Next comes partnerships and customers and $MVIS is the only company ready to start producing their products by Q4 of this year with increasing production the following year by Q2 2022. This is also not counting their other vertical like IVAS (military hololens 2 equipment). The Army has tested in a large scale of up to 50,000 units of IVAS and now the Marines want in on it. Plus the hololens 2 is being used in other markets such as office, mechanics, aerospace, ect.

If you'd like, I can link you to some major DD for the company. This is all about fundamentals and $MVIS has the ability to be the best.

One thing I forgot to mention about what the CEO of $MVIS mentioned in the earnings call was that the company is working to have safety standards with their Lidar with more than one market (Euro, U.S, Asia?). So they want to make sure their Lidar can help define safety standards and possibly BE the standard for highway/road safety. I'll have to link up and quote part of the call for it but he did mention the highway safety organizations for the U.S. and Europe.

The IAA is from September 7-12. I'll be following it closely. If anybody is interested, I can report findings and things of interest from the show when I come across it.
