    Lordstown Motors (RIDE) says that it doesn’t have sufficient cash to start commercial production

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 01:20 PM PDT

    Electric-truck startup Lordstown Motors Corp. RIDE 4.25% disclosed in a new regulatory filing Tuesday that it doesn't have sufficient cash to start commercial production and has doubts about whether it can continue as a going concern through the end of the year.

    The company amended its annual report to include the going-concern notice, which can flag survival problems for businesses within the next 12 months. The warning comes as new challenges emerge for the two-year-old firm that is trying to convert a former General Motors Co. plant in Ohio to produce electric pickup trucks. It has said its first model, the Endurance, will start production in September.

    Lordstown Motors Chief Executive Steve Burns said on a call with analysts in late May that the startup would need to raise more capital to hit its target of building 2,200 pickup trucks by year-end. The company said at the time that higher-than-expected costs were accelerating its cash burn and that it would finish the year with between $50 million and $75 million on hand.

    The company was among a number of new electric-vehicle startups that went public last year through reverse mergers with special-purpose acquisition companies, or SPACs. Lordstown raised $675 million from its reverse merger last fall, a deal that valued the aspiring truck maker at about $1.6 billion.

    The company didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

    The Love of Safety? Safe places to put money right now?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 09:45 PM PDT

    I know everyone has their own opinions but I think the general market is way to high right now.

    I am looking to take my money and go into something safe.

    As a Canadian what are the best GIC's available?

    Ideally I'd like something I could pull out of any time without any fee or forfeit of all interest associated.

    What would the sub recommend as the go tos here in Canada. Or something different than a GIC?

    Option prices and selling covered calls

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    I've been looking into selling covered calls as well as investing further in covered call ETFs. I currently have positions in QYLD and NUSI.

    I understand the basic components of a call option - intrinsic value and time value.

    However in reading about and listening to comments regarding the growth in the number of retail traders and what seems like a movement towards trading options something else struck me.

    Could the price of call options also rise due to an increase in demand (i.e. more traders are asking for them) for options?

    It seems this is similar to a situation where an ETF's share price becomes greater than the NAV price. I know there are mechanisms in place to address that when it occurs.

    I guess the increasing price of a call option could at some point make purchasing the stock a better bargain but that would introduce you to more downside potential.

    I hope this question makes sense but let me know if I'm missing something.

    Thanks

    Thoughts on FAN and TAN etfs?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 05:59 PM PDT

    I'm loving the energy transition to wind and solar and am willing to place a decent chunk of my assets in these industries.

    FAN and TAN both offer good exposure to these sectors, and TAN has appreciated more than FAN the last while, although both have pulled back.

    I'm thinking about opening a position in FAN for now given that the valuation of the underlying holdings is more reasonable and weighted more heavily to utilities. TAN has more industrials manufacturing panels, which is a race to the bottom and those seem heavily overvalued, especially if you dig into the statements of their top holdings. FAN top holdings have actually grown revenue recently.

    P/S for FAN is half that of TAN and ICLN.

    Just looking to start a discussion. I want to get into both, but right now TAN seems pricy. Thoughts?

    NEWS: NVAX and Takeda to participate on panel discussion on Monday June 14th

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 03:02 AM PDT

    Hi all

    I didn't see this announcement shared yet. It is a day old and very relevant I believe.

    [...]Stanley C. Erck, President and Chief Executive Officer, will participate in a panel discussion at the BIO International Convention 2021 on June 14. BIO Digital 2021 is hosted by the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) and is taking place June 10-11 and June 14-18. Novavax' COVID-19 vaccine candidate, NVX-CoV2373, will be a topic of discussion.

    The panel will be on Monday afternoon and looking at the panelists, I get the feeling sth big is being announced: Takeda and NVAX are the companies present, then a member of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness and Center for Global Development

    Disclosure: I posted this to the r/NVAX subreddit but couldn't crosspost. I am somewhat new to reddit, so I hope this is a NoNo.

    Dividend Contender Favorites??

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 02:50 PM PDT

    Since aristocrats are pretty much all at all time highs, I decided to look into contenders to add some value/growth to my dividend stocks. The list is pretty long so I was wondering if anyone had some favorites from the list? I recently added FLO, SJI, and OGE. MSFT is probably an obvious add. Although I don't own any yet. I wish this post didn't have to be 400 characters because that's pretty much all I have to say about it.

    Help understanding day trades/unsettled funds

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 12:54 PM PDT

    Okay so I have a margin account with webull. I don't have 25k, so I'm limited 3 day trades per week, I know that. I also know that with a margin account the settlement is T+1. So funds settle after 1 business day. What I'm confused about, is I sold X stock and wanted to purchase Y. I got a warning about funds being unsettled and that I should not sell stock Y that same day.

    As far as I'm aware, that scenario is a good faith violation. I emailed webull to understand better, and they said with a margin account GFV does not apply to me. But that made me even more confused. What would happen if I sell stock Y the same day?

    18% dividend yield Canadian stock

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 06:54 AM PDT

    Newport Exploration Ltd.

    Additionally dividend is expected to increase for the next years to come. (Inflation)

    Newport explorations also has 0 debt.

    They have been profitable for a long time and if you see their revenue charts… they keep growing. Since 2015 they started to pay dividends quarterly.

    What does this company do? Copper, gold & oil. The best inflation fighting assets (see gold, copper and crude oil prices for yourself)

    So the big question? Why are they so cheap? Why are they not $2 or $3 per share?

    Well… 1. I'll start by saying not many of you have access to their market. (Canadian small cap market) 2. They're a small company so even if big investors wish to buy them by the millions… they'd have a very hard time without bringing the price to $5 per share. 3. The daily volume is 112,000 shares per day. That's about $40,000 USD daily exchanged in shares.

    Nobody really wants to sell this company, and those that do are very small investors… so this is why I took advantage. I myself have been accumulating shares for the last few days. I have about $67,000 Canadian dollars in this company. I shared this with friends and they went crazy about it.. so now that they're done buying. I decided to share this hidden gem here.

    Advice: when buying try not to drive the price up, if someone is selling 30,000 shares at $0.44, buy 29,500 shares, and wait for others to add to the selling position. This way you will not move the price and allow others here to join us.

    I'll try my best to check comments here and answer your questions but be warned, this is a true hidden gem and there are not many shares left to share… do your own research before asking me and act quickly!

    Why ThredUp will crush Depop, Poshmarck and all the others.

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 09:37 AM PDT

    If you are a long term investor, buying a company with a wide moat that will outlast the competition is a necessary element for long term success.

    While Poshmarck, Depop and all the others have gotten a head start by capitalizing in the growing second hand retail demand by Gen Z, as time goes by this customers will migrate to ThredUP in order to fulfill their needs.

    You see, as this generation goes to collage or starts getting jobs, they will no longer have the time (or it won't be worth it for them) to make listings, deal with buyers, packaging, labelling, shipping, deal with returns, etc... only to make $50-60. Consignment sales will dominate this industry and ThredUP is the only player capable of meeting those demands, owning distribution centers and being vertically integrated.

    ThredUP been a success as it has been able to find the perfect value between time and money. Their core base has been wealthy/middle class families that don't want to deal with the process of directly selling their clothes (not worth it) but still want to make a positive change in the environment while monetizing their clothes. Even with 72% gross margins and multiple facilities, they still can meet all the supply customers are trying to sell to them.

    It's even better when a large part of those sellers get paid and leave the money in the platform to use that cash for purchasing clothes on ThredUP, effectively making the company negative working capital.

    The way I see it is whoever gets the supply will be able to meet the demand. What moat does Poshmarck or Depop has to retain their buyers and sellers? Why would someone decide to spend two weeks to sell 3-4 items only to make $60 when you made that in one day with your regular job?

    As the space get's crowded and prices go down, incentives for individual sellers will go down and ThredUp will be there to capitalize on it.

    Consignments sales will represent a big part of the market and ThredUp has a huge moat around it.

    Is there a tool for telling what % of days a ticker finishes the day in the green?

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 11:03 AM PDT

    So I've been studying leverage strategies for some time and one of the details I'd like to pull about underlying tickers -- but don't seem to have access to through any online tool I'm aware of -- is how often (ideally expressed as a percentage) a particular security finishes the trading session higher than it started.

    Can anyone advise a platform, screener, brokerage tool, app, whatever which will let me input IDW or QQQ or whatever and see the % of days it historically has gained value?

    Fastly ($FSLY) network hit by outage, resulting in major sites being down earlier today. Stock down in pre-market.

    Posted: 08 Jun 2021 05:03 AM PDT

    https://apple.news/AcxAzVc_yTiG5Y3VKpK02lw

    "U.S. equity futures turned lower Tuesday following reports of widespread outages of major global news websites, including the New York Times and Bloomberg, as well as the main internet portal of the British government.

    The gov.uk website reported a '503 Service Unavailable' error message around 6:20 am Eastern time, alongside similar connection failures from sites such as The New York Times, CNN, the London Guardian, Bloomberg and the Financial Times. TheStreet was also affected by the outage, as was the main TV2 broadcaster in Denmark.

    The outage follows a series of cyber attacks on U.S. companies and European agencies, including Ireland's state-controlled healthcare system, over the past few weeks. In fact, only yesterday, U.S. authorities said they had seized more than $2.3 million in ransom payments, made via Bitcoin, linked to last month's cyber attack on the Colonial Pipeline by the Russia-based network known as DarkSide.

    Futures contracts tied to the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which has previously indicated a modest opening bell gain, slumped 60 points following news of the disruptions, while those linked to the S&P 500 reversed a 5 point gain to indicate an opening bell decline of 0.5 points.

    Benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields also eased to 1.554% while the dollar index held its gains to trade at 90.097.

    Shares in Fastly (FSLY) , a content delivery network provider, were marked 5.4% lower at $47.98 each amid reports that its network of proxy servers and data centers in various countries around the world were linked to the global outage."

    OP Note: As somebody whose largest single name holding is Cloudflare I woke up to these alerts about a service provider outage and was praying it wouldn't be Cloudflare. Now that this has happened to their biggest competitor, and the last earnings call was one where Fastly missed while Cloudflare beat, could it push even more big clients and rip the scales for Cloudflare to pull away in this battle?
