  1. Based on what I saw in mid-November, both FB and RW would both be killing it at those locations. Both properties are stunning…certainly, in comparison to Harrah’s and the Flamingo. But, the foot traffic on the strip comes to an abrupt halt north of the Wynn/Encore. Humanity ceases to exist and it really is that dramatic. My brother and I needed to get our steps in and wanted to see both the FB and RW which is why we kept walking north by ourselves. It’s a way decent stretch of the legs from the Wynn/Encore to RW and its dark side of the moon territory to hoof it all the way to the FB. We did this in mid-November. No way in hell you do that walk between April and October. I think both resorts want the Wynn/Venetian/Bellagio upscale crowd, but both the RW and FB have low gambling energy and feel empty. Perhaps, both properties are simply too big.
  2. The volume in RGTI is just nuts. 250 mill outstanding and its traded 290 mill today so far. It could still pull back in a hard correction, but I think people are recognizing their technology as some of the fastest and they are working with Amazon Web Sves and Nividia. Its hard to pick a different pullback target since it has essentially gone vertical. Last Thursday, RGTI was $3.11 and it’s currently trading at $7.18 up 131% in the past five days.
  3. Bad timing for the offering during tax selling season, but the money will be used for commercialization of Anktiva. Seems to me IBRX could’ve waited 30 days and tax selling would’ve been over, and if the stock participated in the January effect, probably would be at a higher price. Doing the offering now makes everybody who bought the stock this year a potential tax seller. I think they just don’t think about stuff like tax selling season. They are researchers and just look at what they’ll be needing and go do it when the filings and such are done. It’s not like they’re raising billions like an IPO might be doing.
  4. Stayed at the Venetian for the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix. All the pedestrian bridges over the strip were covered preventing you from watching the race from that vantage point. Also, that long walk from the Palazzo to the Sphere had F1 race posters covering the glass the whole damn way. Other than having a hotel room overlooking the strip, there was no way to watch the race for free…aside from watching it streaming. We ventured north from the Venetian and the next stop was the Wynn/Encore. Much less foot traffic and a much less noisy casino than the V/P. So, we continued the trek north to Resorts World. Huge, beautiful casino, but you could fire a cannon in there and not hit anyone. And we continued our trek north to Circus Circus and then to the Fountainebleau. Another large, beautiful casino and, once again, there were very few bodies gambling. It’s a long way from the Fountainebleau to civilization, so, if you offer decent action, you should be able to get a freebie at either Resorts World or the Fountainebleau. Both have to be hemorrhaging cash based on the few people gambling.
  5. RVPH at $2.60. 4 million shares traded.
  6. RVPH halted again at $3.30 + $1.65.
  7. RVPH +.43 to 2.08 and halted. Don’t see any news, so it’s probably due to volatility.
  8. Beats me. You’ll have to ask him.
  9. If Frank Beamer was our ST coach, we’d have won today. We need to money whip him out of retirement.
  10. When RGTI pulls back to $3.60 and IRBT pulls back to $8.25, I’m interested.
  11. EOSE +.51 to $3.40. The DOE loan for $303.5 million was approved. Certainly helps....but if EOSE meets the benchmarks the hedge fund, Cerberus, put on them, they should eventually make money. Otherwise, the hedge fund would have never funded the plan.
  12. Please do not besmirch a good story with facts.
  13. Doesn’t vs can’t. An uninspiring half of football.
  14. Here you go.
  15. Somewhere, Woody Hayes is having a tantrum throwing first down markers.
  16. Stayed at the Venetian last weekend. Down $400 the first night betting the dark side. The next day we (my baby brother and I) played at the Linq because they had $15 tables. At every casino, the pit boss would acknowledge us as he returned our players card…but not at the Linq. No greeting or small talk, no eye contact, nada. And the dealers were all unpleasant. The vibe at that place sucked and we stayed and played because it was the only place on the strip with $15 tables. But, instead of the dark side, I bet the light side along with everyone else at the table. Screw you. We’re gonna take your money. And we did. My brother and I walked away each +$500. I’d forgotten how much fun it was to have camaraderie with complete strangers while shooting craps and winning. So, for the rest of the trip, I bet the right way…all at the Venetian…and finished +$2500. I’d back up the point w/odds and place the six and eight. No more betting the dark side for this lad.
  17. Man, I’m sorry some of y’all are dealing with heavy shit, but I want to share some positive news. I’ve been sober for three months, I feel terrific, and have absolutely no desire to drink. Just finished a trip to Vegas with my baby brother and had nothing harder than Heineken Zero. My wife trusted me enough to take this trip without her and I did nada to undermine that faith. Our son and son-in-laws are in town for Thanksgiving, they’ll be drinking beer, and I’ll be drinking Heineken Zero. This will be my first sober Thanksgiving in decades. For me and for my family, this Thanksgiving, we have much for which to be thankful.
  18. Black Mass To Rescue EV Battery Supply Chain The EV battery supply chain has been quite a headache for automakers. The materials that go into EV batteries are mined from the Earth, dragging the heavy baggage of environmental and cultural destruction as well as human rights abuses and conflict issues. Recycling provides at least a partial solution, if only recyclers could figure out an economical way to extract cobalt, nickel, manganese, and lithium from spent batteries…oh, wait, here comes black mass. EV Battery Recycling & Black Mass CleanTechnica’s Jo Borras spotted the black mass angle last year, when he featured the Canadian EV battery recycling startup RecycLiCo in a pair of articles. The idea is to strip out the plastics, aluminum, and other non-essential materials from an EV battery and render the remainder into a shiny, metallic powder, which for lack of a better name is commonly referred to as black mass. Not to be confused with another product of EV battery recycling called black powder, black mass contains cobalt, nickel, manganese, and lithium. The next step is to extract the valuable materials and use them to make cathodes for new EV batteries. As described by Borras, the process enables RecycLiCo to recover almost all of the cobalt, nickel, and manganese for recycling into cathode active material for new EV batteries. Lithium is also recovered in the process. When the topic of recycling comes up, the big question is whether or not second-use applications perform as well as virgin materials. RecycLiCo has the answer: yes. Independent tests confirm that lithium-ion battery cells made with RecycLiCo’s high performance materials matched the performance of cells made with virgin materials on purity and other key parameters. Black Mass Is On The Move As of last year RecycLiCo had a demonstration facility to its credit. The company was also working towards a full-scale EV battery recycling facility in Taiwan with Zenith Chemical Corporation, and it has not let the grass grow under its feet. In July of this year, the company announced that its Stage 1 shredding facility at the Taiwan site was already up and running in June. In August, they also announced that the Taiwan venture reached a key milestone in the design phase, leading to the start of construction within the next several months. Meanwhile, in July the company was awarded a European patent for its EV battery recycling system, joining the US, South Korea, Japan, China, India, Australia, and Canada for a total of 16 global patents in all. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— An article yesterday from Cleantechnica.com mentioning AMYZF.
