re: MRLN - Merlin Labs (Autonomous Aviation Software)

I love this ^^^

I believe this solves a problem and is a very promising technology. Planning to invest a small sum here, and appreciate the OP for sharing this on TD.

The one thing I'm getting caught up in is that the socom contract will cover only socom 130js. Thats less than 90 aircraft. Not the 400 or 800 being mentioned. The 135s is another contract (which has alot of value), but the 130j numbers in the original analysis are overstated.

While the technology is very promising and could reach to other airframes (and more 130js), the basecase being discussed is overstated. All that said, the addressable market is big long term so I'm in.

Why’s it green


Is this April fools

Ended up in the upper end when you consider the low of 6.86 today.
If you look at this stock closely at all, you can tell that it is very clearly in the hands of the market makers. They let it run to 7.90 and hammered it down to 7.65 in mere seconds.

Small available float. ~5m shares.
Comes with the territory.

It would be great to start noticing a pattern of pump at open, tank, stabilize.

FWIW, my mrln shares just lent out at 4% at schwab

For us rookies, what does this mean?

It means there’s enough shorts that Schwab need to borrow my shares while the stock is shorted. At the current level, they are paying me 4% and probably charging the shorts much more than that. If fricking SLI would get enough value to lend out shares I’d be fine with their snail crawl to production.

But order at $7 this morning ?

Anyone touching it today? I don't follow this one very much and was wondering it those that did thought this would be a good entry or to stay away.

I bought 2500 at 7.10 with a tight stop. Not sure what my plan is with it yet. Lol
