This might be a bit of a tangent, but maybe there's something of value for you in this reply. I was thinking about a "condotel" or such in Florida, but it looks like those prices have gone way up of late, and HOA dues are crazy. I'm not as concerned about the 2021 housing bubble, because I...

The intro part is a decade old. :) I karaoke a little bit. People point and laugh at me when I do, as a sign of respect.

I skimmed through the thread, so not sure if it's relevant, but just a minor heads up: I seem to recall that when I rolled my 401K over to an IRA and was sent a paper check, I had x number of days to deposit it in the new account, lest there be tax concerns. I forget what 'x' was, but as long...

Congrats! If you and your boss have a good relationship, maybe you can discuss the possibility of finding a way to end your career in a way that's beneficial to you. Good luck.

Haha. :) Maybe some of them will get an email notification about this thread and re-visit. :) I did glance through some folks' activity, and some have only been away a few months.

Just wanted to give my thanks, and provide a brief update. Sorry for not providing updates along the way.

Thanks for the advice, Brewer12345, and everyone else. I hope you've been well. The grindstone and wise investments got me to where I wanted to be financially a few months ago. A few ideas that I found helpful along the way: 1) Listen, listen, listen. You can gain from others' thoughts...

Sorry for your loss and struggles. I'm glad you've got a positive mindset.

It happened (is happening). And we hear about it and/or see the effects of it every single day. I'm sure we all want to move past this, and get back to some sense of "normal" soon, and not have to live in the COVID-obsessed "pause" that we seem to be living in. (No political commentary...

Thanks for the link. I sometimes skim through various old-timers' threads on here, just to try to get a sense of their journey over the past ~20 years. That's how I happened upon this thread, and just thought the predicted death number was striking. Sorry for the downer. Don't mean to obsess...

15 years ahead of its time... Just barely made it past 40 myself. I'm hoping to stick around quite a while longer.

Thanks. Just saw that. 50% up, and still well below its previous high of $23.xx. I'm out of this stock at this point. I imagine it will get acquired at some point this year, but I'm not sure for how much. It had retraced from that high down to $12.xx before the MSFT news, and I had...

I think this the main downside, from the Fidelity link you posted: "generally due to short selling" As I understand it, they're borrowing your stock so that they can sell it, because they think the price will go down over time, and they can buy it at a cheaper price in the future, to replace...

I've got my eye on MRNA and I'm holding CBWTF (Also known as XLY on the Toronto Venture Stock Exchange). I'm also holding ROKU. Note: I'm pretty nervous about the market in general right now. MRNA: Normally, I don't like biotech/pharma, but that's been because it's always seemed like hit...

They did license their display-only technology, but there haven't been any products coming to market from that license agreement, so for whatever reason, that side of the business hasn't done well. Maybe that will change, as component prices come down further, with interactive and/or LiDAR...

Yeah. I've learned a thing or two myself while following MVIS. I went to my first Shareholder meeting. Learned how a company can get financing, and picked up some other tips from other folks who have been following this company. So, the gains have been nice, but, like you, I also profited in...

I mean...wouldn't the second arm just kinda get in the way? Right. There are minimal sales and minimal customers so far, and that's why, IMO, the current valuation is crazy. But, they are in the Microsoft Hololens 2. Not a high volume product, but it is Microsoft. And, they're working on...

> I purchased 3000 shares of MVIS at .20 Congrats. If you held on, you've made sick returns, as it hit $23 today.

Just to close out this thread, the stock took off recently. Just like I got in too early, i got out too early -- albeit with some gains. The folks who timed it right made almost 150x on their investment. ($0.15 to about $22 in a year) No mass-selling product on the market yet, so I think the...

Go back and look at the advice I got about not putting all my eggs in this basket. 999 times out of 1000, that advice is right. I got the Celluon projector for a family member a few years back. He didn't think it was bright enough. :/ They pretty much punted on the Display-Only market. I...

Good way to look at it. I've done some trading over the years, so I'm not exactly sure what my cost basis would be, but this stock definitely presented lots of "buying opportunities". You can probably get a general sense of my gains by assuming I've averaged in bit by bit over the past 5...

Congratulations! I love that "melting" feeling. I hope it's accelerated in the past two weeks.

BTW, I recognize that investing in this stock was/is a big risk. I didn't go "all in", and I wouldn't go "all in" on any individual stock.

Finally paid off Revisiting this thread after several years. Well, it took a while, but this one finally paid off for me. I sold about half of my shares during the pre-christmas spike and made some money. Wish I could have held out until Jan, but I just didn't see the big price rise as...

Revisiting this this thread with some thoughts after 10 months. In that time, MVIS popped into the $3s, and has recently come back down into the $2.40s. 1-year returns have been 26.9%, although that's mostly due to the SONY announcements early last year. They've got a deal in place with SONY...
