re: Spec Play - HGRAF

80% collapse in stock price is hard to oversee even for a novice CEO.

Went from the front cover of the magazine to basically toilet paper

It's a horrendous company, unprofitable and ultimately a zero.

That said, they will ride the beta wave upwards like they have this year along with many other unprofitable companies a la 2021

UPST down 40% since this after doubling (“ride the beta wave upwards”)

Think there could be an opportunity in beaten down defense stocks over the next 6-12 months. You can also buy some high quality investment grade prefs at ~8% yields, been doing some of that. I’m wrong a lot too, but I don’t come on here pumping small cap shitcos that will ultimately go to zero.

Dude GTFO of here if your not actually invested in the stock

I doubt he'll be in here in 3 months to apologize...

A pump and dump with no pump.

A pump and dump that went through the trouble to build a US HQ, redomicile, hire some serious talent by convincing them to take a pay cut in exchange for equity, and build a production plant in Bellville, TX.

A pump and dump with no pump makes no sense. Isn't the purpose of a pump and dump to pump the price up so you can dump it and leave everyone holding the bag? Then why aren't they pumping? Why aren't they selling?

This story is not over. This was never about finding a sound investment to get 8% per year. This was about taking money that I could afford to lose and investing it in a unicorn that could be life-changing.

People like Teabagger come around all the time and say the same thing. Act like they are the shite and know what is going on. Saying a stock is shite is not sound advice. If he had any information other than just his biased opinion, he could have said it by now.

I went ahead and cut my losses with my INDI position and added that to my HGRAF position.

If I'm going to lose that particular cash allocation, I'll go down swinging for the fences.

I feel the same as you. It might seem insane, but I'm also looking to buy a bit more now. I just sold one of my other mediocre long-term graphene holdings (GMGMF) to free up enough cash to buy about another 1k shares of HGRAF. Maybe I'm an idiot. I told myself I was done buying more shares back in March when I hit 8k shares with an average cost of about $5 per share. (I bought about 6k of my shares early this year after the EPA approval was announced.)

If anything, this stock seems a bit undervalued now. It probably didn't really warrant skyrocketing to almost $9 like it did 6 months ago, but this doesn't seem like a sub-$2 stock either. Even if they're still pre-revenue with little in the way of production contracts announced yet, logically it doesn't make much sense to me that this stock should be worth less now than it was prior to EPA approval. They're much closer to being a legitimate producer of graphene than they were 12 months ago, even if the timeline has been slower than we would like.

By this time next month, we should have clarity on the redomicile situation and if there are any Canadian hiccups in that regard. And hopefully positive SPARC testing results soon after. If that happens, I doubt it will be sub-$2 again, like it is now. So I'm looking to buy another 2k shares over the next few weeks to get myself to an even 10k. Then I'll stop, for real this time. And whatever happens, happens. I'm prepared to continue to hold this long-term.

I think there's a lot of plausibility to JaxTiger's theory that HGRAF might ultimately be setting themselves up to be bought out instead of doing all the manufacturing themselves. Or maybe they are intentionally slowing things down with building out the facility until the redomicile is official. We'll see. A buyout certainly might not be the worst thing.

The fact that all the higher-ups in HGRAF are heavily invested in this stock gives me courage. They clearly believe in the company's long-term potential, as do I. They're hiring more people. It's not a rug pull, at this point. Either KB can get big contracts or she can't. All it takes is one big government contract for this stock to go to the moon and make us all very happy.

I'm still bullish on graphene long-term. I know it's been a "supermaterial of the future" for 20 years now, but it seems the "now" might not be so far away anymore. And it seems that HGRAF's graphene is among the very best out there. So I'm swinging for a grand slam and what for me would be life-changing money, if HGRAF pans out. It doesn't work out, I would be very disappointed, but I have plenty of money in safe investment accounts. I'm young with no family yet, and I have time to recover that money if HGRAF craps out. So why not swing for the fences with a company you believe in? I'm generally a very conservative investor, but this is my moonshot.

Thanks to igoringa and JaxTiger for all the due diligence y'all have done on this stock. If HGRAF takes off, I will be eternally grateful to you baws.

Well said

I think we all knew what we were getting into. No one saw this as a safe investment and I think we all have plenty of those. But you can’t hit a home run if you don’t swing the bat.

Dang. You’re going to convince me to buy more
