We hope that the Meta deal is only $12B. If that's the case, then NBIS has sold out its capacity without help from Meta.

Genius move, actually, as Meta is prepaying for part of the data center which helps NBIS build the data center with less borrow.

We have a foldable beach wagon from Sam's Club that cost us about $70. It has fat plastic wheels that make it easier to roll on sand. I live 10 minutes from the beach, so it gets a lot of use.


It's been very quiet the last couple of days. Too quiet. I don't know what to think...

I don't know if I can handle a stable NBIS. Too boring. I need volatility. Right, PA?

So after all that, the stock is neutral.

Regarding the "poison pill" that HGRAF is voting for today.

If anyone acquires 20% or more of the Hydrograph stock without board approval, the poison pill will take effect, and existing shareholders will be able to buy more shares at a 50% discount, thus heavily diluting the hostile buyers shares and making it very difficult for them to take over.

What are you going to do in this scenario?

I'm not expecting that. Too early.

This. I hope they don't think announcing the HQ opening and a new gas contract is going to excite investors. I hope information on the Army collaboration, a small number of contracts signed, or a tick up in expected hyperions by year end is announced.

What is everyone thinking on where this stock goes after the AGM?

I can see it going either way. They could have positive news on the production front government collaborations, demand estimates, and this meeting is a catalyst.that get's us to an ATH.

I can also see positive news about the HQ, production buildout, etc, being viewed as "expected", while no clear guidance on potential customers and demand could lead to another short attack.

Thoughts?

ETA: I think they need to give us a surprise or two - a nugget of information that we were not aware of that gets people excited, and it will go up. I'm hopeful of that, because it seems that they have deliberately been quiet about leaking information for a while, now.

I think a lot of folks looked at this as a binary investment. All or nothing, so it is easy to sit back and watch when the stock is under $1/share.

We have graduated, if you will, to the point, where the future of the company and stock price depends on the execution of the executive team, rather than a government approval. As a result, I think a lot of people are thinking of this stock as a "regular" stock and not a speculative stock, and critiquing it accordingly.

I don't think it's negativity, I think with the higher price, comes a greater responsibility to look at the negatives, as well as the positives. Many folks have gone from owning an "afterthought" stock that they threw $15k as a spec play, to owning a stock that is a significant part of their portfolio. It's getting treated differently, now.

Look at his first post on November 7th. Interesting stuff.

How expensive is that acetylene?

That is interesting. Jay often goes off instinct and doesn't do the obvious. I have thought all season long that Jay probably doesn't like having 3 righties in his starting rotation and would probably put a lefty in if given the chance.

Williams or Garcia, maybe?

I mean, Guidry seems to be the obvious choice, but he's also a great guy to have out of the bullpen, because he just has some nasty stuff that confounds hitters the first time through the lineup. After facing a series of pitchers with fastball, slider, changeup, sweeping curve, that 12-6 hook from Guidry is sick.

I too, lost money on NBIS by getting too far over my skis on the options. I'm still into NBIS, but only shares with an occasional option when the conditions are right. That wasn't a penny stock though. It's looks like a long term winner, to me.

The reason for this post is that I have a friend who is from India and he lost $300K on shorts. I asked him who he tried to short, and he said, "Apple".

I laughed, because i know this guy didn't do any research, and did it just to figure out if he could. He is the kind of guy who has an Audi, but will walk to his doctor's appointment 10 miles away. He just marches to the beat of his own drummer, and one day thought he would take all of his savings and try to short Apple. He probably had to Google how to do it. He doesn't have the patience to buy stock or research it.

He's a lucky bastard, too. He may have lost all hs money shorting Apple, but he'll probably find the winning Powerball ticket on the ground one day. One time we were at a Trailblazers game and we put money into one of those 50/50 raffles and won. We split it and it was about $2800 each.

Any update on the beer can and office construction?


My daughter is moving into a new apartment this weekend and has been busy AF. Probably won't happen this week or next. I bet we get an update this week.

Where is the AGM being held? Is it possible that they will hold it at the new HQ?

Kevin Bambrough pushes this like it's going to happen any time - they'll get a huge breakthrough contract and they'll be off to the races with the stock hitting triple digits.

I don't see that. I believe if we hit $20 by year end, we'll be in good shape. If it doubles every year after that, it will be $80 by the end of 2028. I hope it happens faster, but I'm trying to temper unreasonable expectations.

That being said, HGRAF has been working with potential clients now for a while. Many of those probably don't want that to be public knowledge - especially if there are potential patents involved. They may not reveal that they have a customer until they have the capacity to service that customer.

That is why I'm looking at their capacity and how fast they build those Hyperions. If they are going to make 1000s of tons, they will need more locations, or more buildings at their current location, so...

We may find out more about the demand through the number of hyperions they contract to build than through actual contracts over the next year.

Me, too. Just cant figure why on a day when the market did real good and all of their competitors were green - NBIS goes deep red with no negative news.

Usually, you can chalk it up to a bad market day, anti AI sentiment, or CRWV fricking up something...
