Ideas For Now-

Stoney!
Top o the trading morning to ya.

$STNE Well. ya gotta like that one. Its your namesake.

This CohBar sounds interesting to say the least. One good obesity pill and this thing goes to par overnight.

KOPN, take 3/4 of your shares off the table and let the rest ride. I'll have to read up on the stock. That chart looks like every other sub-$5 in the world right now.

What is that picture of on the other page? Looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. Lead?
Sounds like a story stock the ceo is pimping. I'm sure the Robinhood crowd is all over it today.

Yeah LMND is down big. We'll see what happens. I doubt they'll all sell at once. That guy know's what he's doing. I don't think it'll make it to $80. $87 looks like it might hold.

I asked Nasstassia what her spirit animal was.
She looked at me like I was crazy; no sense of humor that one... must be an Eastern European thing. I told her to wiki the Gazelle... that would be a good one for her... she said her village would eat those things if they were around there. With potatoes. Stew or something.
Anyway, she likes SNAP as a near-term short down to $42, then she wants to start buying it again.
 
Van I don't know what happened wit KOPN it was dead in the account and then suddenly--

BLUE LIGHT ALERT!!!
Kopin Corporation (KOPN) has risen Thursday morning, with the stock adding 10.58% in pre-market trading to $3.03.<-- IT ACTUALY HIT $3!

KOPN's short-term technical score of 98 indicates that the stock has traded more bullishly over the last month than 98% of stocks on the market.

Hey speaking of light.... I caught some obscure article yesterday out of Israel that some scientists over there figured out a way to use UV light to kill 99.9% of any Corona's and any potential variants. Said you could put these things in air-ducts etc. This wasn't a company, it was university reasearchers I think.
Let me look...
 
I have zero idea what the machine is... It's disgusting. I don't think that's renewing a battery!

It looks like it's removing pollution from something.. The key here is an anticipated deal which was pre announced by CEO a bit pushy......

They are trying to sell the idea of renewable lithium for cars batteries and that's all Robin Hood had to hear this morning they ran the stock for sure from up 30% to where it went... Soon as I posted it took off again these guys are on top of me like flies...

My Chinese car co is getting beat up (down 7%) but i don't care I have a vision there...
I've sent in my money for the new model $8,0000 holding fee to a Mr Chen. In Shanghai... I met him online. Nice guy.

I told hm I want the new model with the lights like Kit but with all American instructions.. very worried about the computer language..
 
Here's that UV thing....

Can GBA do a SPAC?
Those keyboard companies you like so much... they know about little lights like that.

FULL STORY
Researchers from Tel Aviv University (TAU) have proven that the coronavirus can be killed efficiently, quickly, and cheaply using ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs). They believe that the UV-LED technology will soon be available for private and commercial use.

This is the first study conducted on the disinfection efficiency of UV-LED irradiation at different wavelengths or frequencies on a virus from the family of coronaviruses. The study was led by Professor Hadas Mamane, Head of the Environmental Engineering Program at TAU's School of Mechnical Engineering, Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering. The article was published in November 2020 issue of the Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology B: Biology.

"The entire world is currently looking for effective solutions to disinfect the coronavirus," said Professor Mamane. "The problem is that in order to disinfect a bus, train, sports hall, or plane by chemical spraying, you need physical manpower, and in order for the spraying to be effective, you have to give the chemical time to act on the surface. Disinfection systems based on LED bulbs, however, can be installed in the ventilation system and air conditioner, for example, and sterilize the air sucked in and then emitted into the room.

"We discovered that it is quite simple to kill the coronavirus using LED bulbs that radiate ultraviolet light," she explained. "We killed the viruses using cheaper and more readily available LED bulbs, which consume little energy and do not contain mercury like regular bulbs. Our research has commercial and societal implications, given the possibility of using such LED bulbs in all areas of our lives, safely and quickly."

The researchers tested the optimal wavelength for killing the coronavirus and found that a length of 285 nanometers (nm) was almost as efficient in disinfecting the virus as a wavelength of 265 nm, requiring less than half a minute to destroy more than 99.9% of the coronaviruses. This result is significant because the cost of 285 nm LED bulbs is much lower than that of 265 nm bulbs, and the former are also more readily available.

Eventually, as the science develops, the industry will be able to make the necessary adjustments and install the bulbs in robotic systems or air conditioning, vacuum, and water systems, and thereby be able to efficiently disinfect large surfaces and spaces. Professor Mamane believes that the technology will be available for use in the near future.

It is important to note that it is very dangerous to try to use this method to disinfect surfaces inside homes. To be fully effective, a system must be designed so that a person is not directly exposed to the light.

In the future, the researchers will test their unique combination of integrated damage mechanisms and more ideas they recently developed on combined efficient direct and indirect damage to bacteria and viruses on different surfaces, air, and water.

The study was conducted in collaboration with Professor Yoram Gerchman of Oranim College; Dr. Michal Mandelboim, Director of the National Center for Influenza and Respiratory Viruses at Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer; and Nehemya Friedman from Tel Hashomer.

The differences between Trex and Azek
Trex primarily manufactures decking, using wood and sawdust to mimic the look and feel of real wood. Azek has decking materials like this, too, but also has a broader portfolio including pavers, siding, and column wraps. Each requires a specific mix of ingredients.

Both Trex and Azek use recycled plastics in their products, which should be attractive to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investors. But the types of plastics used and the composition of the boards differ.

Judging solely on these companies' income sheets, it appears Azek's "recipe" is either intrinsically more expensive or the company simply struggles to source its raw materials as economically as Trex. Either way, although it was a year-over-year improvement, Azek's gross profit margin was only 32% in fiscal 2020. For perspective, through the first three quarters of 2020, Trex's gross profit margin is far better at 41%. Unless Azek can somehow reduce its cost of goods sold, it will struggle to match Trex's profit potential.

Before you say that Azek should just raise its prices, consider that it's already more pricey than Trex. Its price tag may be justified considering it has longer warranties, but Azek will struggle to raise prices to improve profitability all the same. It needs to reduce costs.

Lastly, Azek's balance sheet isn't as good as Trex's. Trex has no debt. It's down to only $20 million in cash on the balance sheet at the moment, but it has over $250 million in accounts receivable that it expects to collect reasonably soon. By contrast, because of its struggles with profitability, Azek has $468 million in debt and only $215 million in cash.

That's not a deal-breaker necessarily. But Trex can focus cash flow entirely on growing its business and rewarding shareholders (for example, it's currently authorized to buy back around 7% of shares), whereas at least some of Azek's attention will be turned to servicing debt for the foreseeable future.
 
Nastassia's spirit animal is Panda. The danger here is she may of used to work for The State Security Committee of the Republic of Belarus and as such the mention of the code word word Panda could lead to a series of attacks on your body.

Ok, I'm talking cutting edge virus killing tech out of Tel Aviv U. .... And you're talking plastic decks for homes.

No wonder Yulia went back to Poland.
 
Have you seen Killing Eve?

This is great to watch with Nastassia. She is very close to the Russian girl in the show... and the Russian girl is absolutely gorgeous and just so so dangerous.
