PR

GeoLogic23

Appreciate the kind words. I agree the financing is more material for investors. Half of the beverage business is just advertising though, so the PR releases are more about marketing brands than informing investors, imo. An investor who actually makes decisions based on debt-to-equity transactions is already so much more deeply involved than 99% of retail investors. I mean yea I could be totally wrong. Maybe some companies would PR every single transaction. I just think if we expect companies to actually PR everything including "bad" things, then we are setting unrealistic expectations. Would be nice of course. Totally valid criticisms of how much all of this has added up for shareholders. I definitely think that Irwin Simon does not care about retail shareholders at all. I do care about having an accurate discussion about companies though, so I do often try to get people to correct/clarify Tilray information, because its the company with by far the most inaccurate discussions happening. But yea, absolutely get the complaints about the recent deals. Carl Merton is not coming back for an AMA anytime soon lol

Just stating the facts. > You still want a higher return on your investment than what Cura is offering.  They offered a premium 45% of the price the day it was announced, and far above EV. For a company with no FCF, impending dilution from ATM's, and a free falling share price. >Cura is trying to thread a very fine line between shitting on Aurora and also saying how valuable their assets will be to Cura. Every interview Boris has done since the offer was announced has been him praising Aurora as a supplier through **Curaleaf's** network and why it would be a good wholly owned asset in **Curaleaf's** hands. As far as I know, no mention about branding or licenses, most of which will probably be written off. Yes, the PR's to be very formulaic and speaking in tropes. >Yes he did aggressively expanded by taking on massive debt lol after seeing how awful it worked out for LPs. Aurora tried to grow in a giant indoor custom built indoor facility with negative gross margins and Canopy *voluntarily* indebted themselves for god knows why. Both were over-building for a market that was way too small anyway. Curaleaf is FCF positive within its existing markets and the majority of the debt is not due until 2028 and 2029. They refinanced their debt without any issue or dilution earlier this year. I went into some detail about what I think might happen with the UTP a few months ago [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/comments/1sw3cwk/comment/oigxok9/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button). Just stating the facts.

Amnesia-AI

All good, Geo. Long time reader and a fan of your work. Funny enough, as I was writing my comment, I had wondered if someone would rebut with the point that the financings are too small for a PR. But I gotta tell ya, as I glance over the slew of releases Tilray puts out, it certainly feels like the financing disclosures are more material in nature to an investor like myself, than what’s actually going to print. My brief exposure to that world showed me that you get all sorts of operations. There are the ones that PR only what is absolutely required for them to meet their continuous disclosure obligations and they go out of their way and push many boundaries to say the bare minimum. There are those that try to hide disclosures among fluff PRs (I’m sure you’ve seen many of those in the cannabis landscape too). And then there are those that flood their SEDAR/ SEC folios with ALL sorts of junk to obfuscate the finding of info that might actually matter. These were all strategies regularly discussed, though the last couple are becoming harder to do with the emergence of AI allowing folks to research and parse out the junk a bit more efficiently. And you can say sure, it isn’t a lot of money. But it adds up real quick when you’re entering dozens of agency invoices at the end of the month for this type of stuff. I guess that’s the part that’s annoying to me as a shareholder; it’s how they preach financial prudence but will throw real dollars into what my own previous experience had identified as a gimmick.

GeoLogic23

Please dont' jump down my throat as if this a defense of Tilray, but do you know any company that makes a PR announcement for a small debt to equity transaction?

GeoLogic23

>Are we speaking for shareholders, or Reddit bagholders? What does this even mean? Both are shareholders. It doesn't matter if you're down from years ago, or a more recent investor like me. You still want a higher return on your investment than what Cura is offering. Even if it's just to have lighter bags. >we know the outlook tomorrow is bleak Literally like my entire premise here is that Curaleaf is pumping the idea of international cannabis. So how is the outlook bleak? Cura is trying to thread a very fine line between shitting on Aurora and also saying how valuable their assets will be to Cura. >ACB shouldn't be acquired because it tried really really really hard? lol you're the one anthropomorphizing this comment. I said they spent a long time, not "tried really hard". Half their PR to shareholders is about having no debt. That's literally the reason I invested in them more recently than whatever imaginary "bagholders" you are fighting. > But if there's one thing Boris has been consistent on, it's aggressively taking market share. Yes he did aggressively expanded by taking on massive debt lol after seeing how awful it worked out for LPs. LPs aggressively expanded, drove up their debt, and **then spent years paying it off. Like Aurora did and like Curaleaf is currently doing.**

NVDA bought Hugging Face to control the negative PR from OpenAI’s hack. Squash any possibility of a lawsuit or bad press over it.

dvdmovie1

I don't hate the choices (aside from maybe the cruise name), but would look at some of the Canadian producers over Diamondback and while NVO is cheap I wouldn't use that PR as any sort of thesis - IMO it's a "show me" story that first needs to get the basics right again. If you think rates are going to come down, RKT.

Ok-Replacement9595

The forced adjectives is what really got to me. The "vibrant" and "robust" economy, and the like. Like you said, very political and PR driven. It really gives the impression that he is very vibes driven, not exactly what you want in a fed chair.

Angrypoopoh

Such an obvious PR campaign from Anthropic trying to reassure everyone while pushing full steam ahead at the same time.

AsharaOfStarfall

I think this is all PR in response to the Ahthropic engineer's post about AI's ability to destroy humanity. I just attended Dreamforce and they are all AI, AI, AI, Agents, Agents, Agents. They had guest speakers Jensen Huang, Sam Altman, and Dario Amodei all essentially disputing that AI will destroy the world. The audience was less enthusiastic than Marc Benioff expected.

sleazine

It's a PR stunt.. just because he says it's not doesn't mean he didn't get paid to say it. They are out of money they didn't suddenly grow morals.

Fantastic_Reason_571

He’s more than doubled the projected deficit from under Trudeau, who already spent a ton. He’s projected to spend 67 billion dollars MORE than Trudeau. Absolutely nothing about Marc Carney is fiscally conservative. He’s just directing money at things the majority of Canadians actually want. And he’s good at dealing with the toddler down south, so his PR is very good

merdekabelajar

Nov 10. See today’s PR. The FDA is more than disappointing. The faxt that they first classified it a a Major Deficiency and now change it to Minor tells us all we need to know about how incompetently this application is being handled. And now rather than a 60-day Type 1 CRL GDUFA date reschedule, it’s over 90 days. Hurting the company and investors.

Shoganai_Hito

every other comment in ASTS community begging for PR; the life of a pre-revenue company bagholder

stockratic

See the PR today. New GDUFA date is Nov 10. The FDA is ludicrous! This July 29 PDUFA minor issue should worst case have been on a 60-day Type 1 CRL time frame, which would have put the new GDUFA date no later than Oct 10, bc on the Aug 10 call NRx’s CEO said they turned in the attestation within days of the July 29 meeting. Should be approved but having to wait 90 days is wrong in my opinion—esp. when there is a ketamine shortage.

Randromeda2172

Reddit is too anti-intellectual and anti-technology for good faith debates to happen. More or less everyone on here thinks that LLMs haven't progressed at all since 2022. Feats like the incident or Navier Stokes are chalked up to marketing and PR stunts. The current leading theory on here is that OpenAI simply tied up Perelman-tier mathematicians in the basement and steals credit for the work they churn out. The truth is that as Reddit becomes more mainstream, it attracts the average (read: uninformed) person en masse, who is just as much a victim to disinformation campaigns as they are to their own egos. But to answer your question, yes we are in the early stages of the takeoff. I am long memory, flash, energy, and photonics.

I read multiple comments on here and I don't think anybody's mentioned it yet. Let me start by saying this is not to insult any groups or genders or however I need to explain myself that everything is acceptable with me as long as no one calls me a name I am just pointing out my common sense or lack of because I invested money into this brand destined to self implode. I actually put money into the stock and quite a bit of it thinking we had the next Michael Jordan coming. I seriously failed to do my homework as I have never been a watcher of news nor have I ever cared about politics I just enjoyed my ignorance to the propaganda that seems to always hurt people everywhere. Just the sound of the word alone sounds like a dirty word however now that it cost me over $100,000 I seem to have missed Nike's ad campaigns over the years which would have been a giant red flag. Had I not been victim of my own greed or thinking I had the winning lottery ticket. It was simple why would the next Michael Jordan not be promoted by Nike. The same people that have been promoting their PR and ads over the years of studying sinking stock rates are the same ones there today. They continue to change CEOs to gaslight the world that things will be better but how long have they been putting off a woman's signature basketball shoe with false release dates and excuses. When the factory had merely 12 people they were able to turn around a Michael Jordan Air within weeks and sold one and a half billion dollars the first year. That's when billions actually meant a lot of money. So stop the gaslighting Nike take your politics and ideologies all the way down into the ground because you seem to be destined to just bury yourself into a giant hole. It's not Hoka or any other brand competing with them I have a pair of Hoka's. They are the most uncomfortable shoe I ever wore. I bought them suggested again by falsely being controlled by AI after double knee surgery reconstruction surgery as the shoe for knee reconstruction surgeries. I know some people like Hoka I happen to think they're horrible for me. But who's ever heard of me Hoka brand tied to sport as much as Nike has over the years. Under armor maybe but they only do apparel I believe. Sometimes it seems like common Sense has just left the building but maybe the punchline to this at the end of this post will explain more where common sense actually went. Little do they know the same people who are encouraging them to keep this up are just waiting to pick up a broken company for pennies on a dollar so they can try to rebuild the brand. It didn't take long to dig into today's landscape of business to figure that out. I have seen Amazon mentioned a few times here as well. Amazon spends billions of dollars just to figure out the human psych on how to trick them into buying and to making them feel like they're getting a deal when in reality everyone is paying a different price on Amazon. If you don't believe this one stand next to one of your friends or someone you know and both of you order the same item on Amazon don't buy it just put it in your basket and see what the prices are or like I did use your VPN in a different location go to a different browser do not sign in to your Amazon account. Have something in your app on your account ready to go in your cart copy the exact name and description and paste it on your new browser you will be blown away. I'm coming up with $50 differences on identical security cameras on the cheap end of security cameras. Corporate greed has gotten a lot of control the longer we feed the beasts the worst they get. Nike is gaslighting everybody or they think they are while they are being manipulated into the ground themselves. If anybody at Nike had half a brain they would clear out that entire marketing department and go back to Michael Jordan dunking the ball sports is what they built their brand on. Hell they have a Cooper flag out there and a Caitlin Clark and they are just completely screwing the pooch because they are bowing to some higher hierarchy that none of us even understand or care for. Next time I want to invest money in the stock unfortunately I'm going to have to research into the uncomfortable landscape of today's mental state especially into the corporations themselves. If you think the Amazon psychop is bad this new AI releases really changing people and creating a lot of pain for a lot of people. I truly believes there is a functional AI out there but we're never going to see it. Google AI and Amazon AI is there to give you wrong answers so you engage with it. They want you to be mad and continue to call it liar because every time you hit a quora they consider that a success. It's sucking the energy out of every city with data centers but that's what these corporate greedy I won't say the word I think they are but that's what they want. I won't even mention what I think of chat GPT. 15 minutes with that and I saw instantly what it was going to do to the youth today. 15 minutes it was already treating me like a cheap therapist right out of school pumping Sunshine up my butt where I can see some young person secluding themselves thinking wow somebody finally gets me. That one is by far the most dangerous and cancel account couldn't come quick enough. If AI actually did work any one of us could take down the entire American government in one day. All you have to do is say pull up all their financial records and move forward from there. AI would do all the work for you so does anyone really think AI is ever going to do anything to help anyone of us? I see generations of pain and suffering before it ever helps anybody. I mentioned these other companies in this Nike comments because it's all tied together. If everybody really pays attention and I could go all the way back to world war II (I'm a bit older) but we're going to start with 911. A whole lot of people got very powerful right after that. Also a lot of very important information disappeared that day. Still don't believe? Look at the 2008 housing crisis. There was hundreds of small Banks everywhere back in those days making banking a choice. All these small Banks were purchased by five large Banks who got very powerful and somehow in the mix of equity stripping just about anybody who has something to lose. Banks are not run by idiots especially back in those days but they want to throw this at the carelessness of mortgage brokers? They were handing money out like it was candy. Anyone could get a five or six loans on their homes just buying saying I need money. It was way too easy on something was going to happen as I was in the real estate industry on the side of my manufacturing company building high-end custom homes. I was watching it all coming wondering when it was going to explode and when it exploded it it exploded big. None of these events are mistakes. Do I need to mention covid and the suffering it caused? Everybody is feeling it today with food prices and everything else? The ones causing all this love all this arguing back and forth and toxic content creators and social media. They love that crap because no one's talking about them. They created it and environment where people hate to love and love to hate their best dream in the making for generations finally came through. These are not coincidences. If I can finish with the funnier comical side. I built businesses and ran into some people who love to talk a bit too much that were pretty powerful or have worked for some pretty powerful people. I remember listening to them talking to my partner while I was doing the work thinking these people have lost their minds. You hear things that you don't forget even though you don't believe it but 20 years later it all starts to make sense little pieces of puzzles. Most of my life one thing made sense and it still does today because a three letter agency that was created right after world war II as I mentioned earlier. I went in thinking that certain three letter agency ran the world but I never knew who controlled the said three letter agency. This specific one cannot be prosecuted and definitely has two branches one for the world to see and one that no one sees. After many years of working in a loud manufacturing company I ended up with severe tinnitus. That's loud ringing in the ears for anyone that doesn't know. Leaving a TV running with sounds helps to sleep at night so I figured just let the algorithm King YouTube run all night and let's see what I wake up to in the morning. I finally got my answer on who's running this said three letter agency. (They are not from here!!) Some days I fall asleep to comedy acts and wake up to debates on stages and wonder if it's still SNL reruning a comedy skid until I find out this s@@t is real. And that makes (they are not from here) make more sense everyday. I pulled from Nike this morning with a giant loss and this could all be my own mistake again for all I know. You all be good and remember it's all propaganda. The anger the fighting the hate is what they want stop giving it to them. AI psychosis is real and if you feel that coming or anger from whatever you're saying go outside watch the birds fly around or go sit by a river somewhere just look at the wildlife and the sounds they make feel the peace that it brings.

Arras01

They probably didn't have 20 million dollars of investor money to throw at it for PR. 

BobbyDigital423

The Jacob Cox thing is NOT a marketing stunt. He walked away from IPO stock options. This sub really is regarded. Again I'm not saying "we're going to end the world" talk isn't valuation PR. But accusing him of not being a whistleblower is dumb AF.

LeSegaGenesis

As someone new to investing I really don't get all the bearishness, hearing people talk about a AI bubble/market crash is crazy to me. It's a Boom that is happening during a war that involves 15-20% of the world's oil supply. Big difference. Without the oil price factor inflation looked within projections. Obviously some short term pain is expected at times, and yes the SP500 is heavily weighted in AI, but as soon as the war with Iran gets resolved and if Trumps tariff wars end things could become very bullish. Alot of the numbers and guidances from top end stocks feel undervalued because the sentiment is so warped, as well as many funds have reallocated and pivoted during august. Feels like a weird market to enter at, but I'm optimistic. I think the portfolio has enough diversity to not be down bad, and enough tech to earn on a strong rally. And anyone worried about a AI sector slowdown in the short term shouldn't because Trump wants that sector ripping, so I don't see much red tape until mid terms. And even if he's out of office, that could dissolve the tariff wars, and he may aggressively seek to get a deal done with Iran to raise his PR. Tons of potential catalysts on the horizon, outside of glaringly good financials for the biggest sector.

ItchyIndx

My read is that the promised revenue from AI investment is not materialising how they imagined, so the slowdown is to buy more time to keep investors at bay. AI destroying us right now is far-fetched at best and marketing PR spin.

Canada's is surfing the wave of bad news. If only they could help Iran topple this regime (Carney has one of the best PR team worldwide). He just needs 2-3 press conference right b4 midterms to send this oil market to the moon.

Jazzlike-Pension-643

Ironically he’s actually correct in a way. It’s obvious these companies once again have met and determined if they don’t find a way to slow down the spending, they will all go broke before they’re profitable Jacob Coxon is a part of an organized PR campaign designed to extend their runway and regulate foreign and open weight models. Trump doesn’t understand this but he’s a broken clock and still right.

If the AI companies propose an actual existential threat, then government bodies need to get on the stick, right now, and investigate the daylights out of this threat, with all the power of subpoenas, technical experts, forced testimony, everything, to get to the bottom of it and determine the actual credibility of that threat. And if this threat turns out be fake PR nonsense -- if it is just more posturing as many strongly suspect it is -- then people need to go to jail for this nonsense. If the AI companies are just promoting a fake doom narrative for the sake of their upcoming trillion-dollar IPOs, then it should be a crime -- an actual, literal crime -- to pollute the public discourse with alarmist nonsense that also amounts to securities fraud while degrading the mental health of hundreds of millions if people. If the threat is real on the other hand -- if it isn't nonsense -- then governments should take real and immediate action to mitigate the threat. Just imagine if some other industry tried this. Picture a company that makes nuclear power plants saying "oh by the way, there is a 10% chance our reactors could turn into a supercharged hydrogen bombs and kill hundreds of millions of people." Or imagine if an agricultural giant said "oh by the way, our latest round of genetically modified crops have a 10% chance of mutations that could wipe out half the planet." Of course governments would not put up with that from some other industry. The reaction would be shock, then fury, then immediate action to investigate the claims for credibility and, if credible, shutting down the threat immediately -- and if not credible, arresting people for fraudulent intent with mass scale consequences. But no -- because it is Silicon Valley, and because governance today is a toilet bowl train wreck of a dumpster fire, the claims will not be taken seriously, except as alarmist public discourse, and Open AI and Anthropic will almost certainly be allowed to get away with this garbage. Again, the reason for alarm is that heads should be rolling for this -- very senior people should be fired or forced to resign at the very least, if not arrested and sent to jail for criminal negligence and fraudulent intent whether the claims are true or not. That is because, if the claims are true then Holy Nightmare Batman; and if they are false (which is much more likely) then this kind of mass psychosis and mental harm being perpetrated on the public for the sake of making IPO bank (remember that investors love these "AI is so powerful" narratives) should be shut down immediately. Genuine fear is warranted right now, but not fear of rogue AI becoming skynet. The fear comes from the fact governments are no longer competent to manage risks or anything much else at all.

Fuck all these AI researchers on twitter man. To quote a FT comment this morning: Simply put, Western governments are now too inept, too corrupt, or too stupid (or all of the above) to properly respond to collective action threats whether real or imagined. Take this AI nonsense: Chances are high this is nothing more than a public relations campaign to pump Silicon Valley's bags. Anything that makes AI sound incredibly powerful, especially warnings of doom, translates to investor ears as "those companies will be worth a lot of money innit." And in making the media rounds, this bright-eyed, bushy-tailed 27-year-old sounds more like a pitchman for the coming IPOs of Anthropic and Open AI than a prophet of the AI apocalypse. But put aside the skepticism: If the threat is worth taking seriously, then governments should make a serious effort to investigate. Is the doomsday threat of AI at all credible? Okay fine: Set up something like the 9/11 Commission, or Operation Warp Speed, or some other deadly serious government effort to get to the bottom of this. If the AI companies propose an actual existential threat, then government bodies need to get on the stick, right now, and investigate the daylights out of this threat, with all the power of subpoenas, technical experts, forced testimony, everything, to get to the bottom of it and determine the actual credibility of that threat.

Its a PR stunt. AI companies saw what happened with the public's backlash against data centers. The same thing is starting with AI. You have Bernie Sanders out there with a megaphone saying the technology is dangerous and things are moving too fast and there needs to be a temporary moratorium on AI development. So, before it explodes into a whole dat center fiasco, these guys decide to try to quell the flames in public: "OK, ok, we're slowing down". Trust me, they're not slowing down. Its all optics. And this morning, China said they're not slowing down either.

IczyAlley

Theyve been issuing PR marketing statements about safety for 3 years. OpenAI was specifically created as a nonprofit to monitor and create safety guidelines for AI. People arent selling because if safety based buy more bonds campaigns. Theyre selling because Lisa in HR cant get the enterprise Claude to make a powerpoint in less than 6 hours so no longer falls for these obvious lies.

Affectionate-Idea690

why the AI elite are suddenly trying to "slow down" development. Put on your tinfoil hat, because we are diving straight into the GPU Bagholder Matrix. 😂  Bruh...The tech oligarchs don't give a single sh*t about "AI swarms" or "humanity ending." That is a massive smoke bomb. The real reason they want to pause? They ran out of electricity, the models are hitting a wall, and they need a fake "safety" excuse to stop buying $30,000 microchips before Wall Street realizes the entire AI hype cycle is out of gas...  To train the next model, they don't just need more chips; they need an entire nuclear power plant next to the data center, which takes years to build. Spending $10 billion on the next model only makes it 5% smarter than the last one. The exponential gains are flattening out.If Wall Street finds out that spending hundreds of billions on data centers yields a glorified chatbot that still hallucinates recipes, tech stocks will suffer the biggest nuclear meltdown in human history... The Bottom Line: It’s a classic pump-and-dump disguised as philanthropy. They pumped the AI hype to inflate their stock, hit a resource wall, and are now using "existential dread" as a PR shield to cool down their spending before the bubble bursts on their balance sheets.

Latest from delyinclient is that their recent PR video shows that they are well positioned to launch 4 more batches of 3 by EOY. Like he even believes that🤣, the guy constantly lies to his sub and they love him for it, it's bizarre.

HARRYHOUDINOSAUR

No one is saying they are committing fraud. No one is saying they are lying. People are saying they are playing around with non-GAAP accounting terms like "Adjusted Operating Income" as a PR gambit, which is LITERALLY the term used in the article. It's excluding all the exact things that make AI expensive, including training its models and paying its researchers.

Fuck all these AI researchers on twitter man. To quote a FT comment this morning: Simply put, Western governments are now too inept, too corrupt, or too stupid (or all of the above) to properly respond to collective action threats whether real or imagined. Take this AI nonsense: Chances are high this is nothing more than a public relations campaign to pump Silicon Valley's bags. Anything that makes AI sound incredibly powerful, especially warnings of doom, translates to investor ears as "those companies will be worth a lot of money innit." And in making the media rounds, this bright-eyed, bushy-tailed 27-year-old sounds more like a pitchman for the coming IPOs of Anthropic and Open AI than a prophet of the AI apocalypse. But put aside the skepticism: If the threat is worth taking seriously, then governments should make a serious effort to investigate. Is the doomsday threat of AI at all credible? Okay fine: Set up something like the 9/11 Commission, or Operation Warp Speed, or some other deadly serious government effort to get to the bottom of this. If the AI companies propose an actual existential threat, then government bodies need to get on the stick, right now, and investigate the daylights out of this threat, with all the power of subpoenas, technical experts, forced testimony, everything, to get to the bottom of it and determine the actual credibility of that threat. And if this threat turns out be fake PR nonsense -- if it is just more posturing as many strongly suspect it is -- then people need to go to jail for this nonsense. If the AI companies are just promoting a fake doom narrative for the sake of their upcoming trillion-dollar IPOs, then it should be a crime -- an actual, literal crime -- to pollute the public discourse with alarmist nonsense that also amounts to securities fraud while degrading the mental health of hundreds of millions if people. If the threat is real on the other hand -- if it isn't nonsense -- then governments should take real and immediate action to mitigate the threat. Just imagine if some other industry tried this. Picture a company that makes nuclear power plants saying "oh by the way, there is a 10% chance our reactors could turn into a supercharged hydrogen bombs and kill hundreds of millions of people." Or imagine if an agricultural giant said "oh by the way, our latest round of genetically modified crops have a 10% chance of mutations that could wipe out half the planet." Of course governments would not put up with that from some other industry. The reaction would be shock, then fury, then immediate action to investigate the claims for credibility and, if credible, shutting down the threat immediately -- and if not credible, arresting people for fraudulent intent with mass scale consequences. But no -- because it is Silicon Valley, and because governance today is a toilet bowl train wreck of a dumpster fire, the claims will not be taken seriously, except as alarmist public discourse, and Open AI and Anthropic will almost certainly be allowed to get away with this garbage. Again, the reason for alarm is that heads should be rolling for this -- very senior people should be fired or forced to resign at the very least, if not arrested and sent to jail for criminal negligence and fraudulent intent whether the claims are true or not. That is because, if the claims are true then Holy Nightmare Batman; and if they are false (which is much more likely) then this kind of mass psychosis and mental harm being perpetrated on the public for the sake of making IPO bank (remember that investors love these "AI is so powerful" narratives) should be shut down immediately. Genuine fear is warranted right now, but not fear of rogue AI becoming skynet. The fear comes from the fact governments are no longer competent to manage risks or anything much else at all.

This, right here, is why tech bros are terrible neighbors, why they have bad PR, why they can be tripped up by obvious obstacles they are too arrogant to see. Persuade, or admit you can't persuade, and are just out for yourselves.

Good-Preparation-179

Even if AI has gone rogue its not like they are going to pull the plug. We are reactive species so there will be consequences only when these AIs somehow hack into a bank or something and even then they will get away with a slap on the wrist. All of this news lately is just a massive PR campaign between the two companies.

How much equity does bro still have? Because NDAs are still a thing, and these companies have armies of *very* highly paid lawyers who would violate anyone saying something the company didn't want in ways that would make a pornstar blush. Any ex employees flapping their gums are doing so with the approval of their former company. Otherwise they'd be at the center of a lawyer gang bang. This. Is. A. PR. Statement.

And how do you stay competitive with China? Or are they magically going to be aligned in all the slow down? This is bullshit hype PR. It may be true, that there are safety concerns, but this is the new atomic bomb. Whoever controls the most powerful AI has the most power. Power is all the leaders care about.

stockratic

That is a fantastic price. You already have doubled your money. Call volumes should really pick up on the approval announcement. Spread between bid and ask is anyone’s guess. Main thing is to watch the price movement constantly and be somewhat patient and at the same time not to get greedy. At $7.09 you make a 10x profit (11x return). $7.09 - $5.00 = $2.09. $2.09/$.19 = 11x. Share price could go to 10 and back off to $7 next day or the reverse. And if it does surge and drop back, a PR the next day about NRX-100 being filed or an order for 500,000 vials could cause a surge again. Hindsight is 20/20.

Nike beat wall st profit and revenue estimates. It’s down because sales in China and ex-US are taking a beating. The current American administration has made it so those in other countries no longer think it’s cool to wear big American brands. In China even the Nike endorsed athletes dropped the brand and happily switched to domestics like Li Ning, in Japan to ASICS, UK and Germany to Adidas, Puma, and On. Between tariffs and the worst American PR imaginable, there is obvious headwinds for the Nike brand in addition to strategic and structural headwinds with the product and distribution. As their revenue showed, they’ll be fine, but it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

DMN_LQMT

Maybe. We looked at the hinge assembly and it looks like the one posted on the LiquidMetal website. It was a slim chance the company would be mentioned today, so not sure why the mass exodus. You may want to wait for a PR or 8K and chase it up. Some in our investment group started buying. We know the LiquidMetal manufacturing facility is coming on-line, and they have $30+ million in cash and assets with a low burn rate, so I can’t see a downside.

You’re good, do your due diligence always. There will always be hidden gems. But rare. Read there finance report, look at market research. See if they already have contract ahead. If it’s a developing company, they will spend a lot of money, diluting share holders. And then reverse splitting, making your stocks basically worthless. EDIT: also when companies say there developing read the article, because sometimes the development is nothing burger. And it’s just PR to pump.

The scientific community is absolutely horrified by Sam Altman's post. To mathematicians, co-authorship is sacred. The idea that a massive tech corporation would swoop in, use infinite money and compute to snipe a historic discovery, allegedly peek at private user data to do it, and then try to bribe a researcher to betray his partner for corporate PR is being viewed as peak dystopian tech-bro behavior right now.

I traded YMAT this morning. I haven't found fresh company news today that explains the move. It looks more like a low-float momentum/volume move right now — reported float is only around 664K. Worth knowing they also filed a mixed shelf for up to $150M on Sept. 4, so there is dilution risk hanging over it. I wouldn't assume the move is news-driven unless somebody finds a new filing/PR.

These are all just PR/marketing stunts intended to maintain the hype and excitement in clueless people (to keep the money flowing). The current AI tech is neat and "revolutionary" for specific tuned use cases, but it is nowhere near human-like levels of reasoning. The current systems possess no cognition of physical reality and a very shallow understanding of it (just like a modern human can get a clue about medieval life by reading a book, but nowhere close to actually living the experience).

I agree, renewables cant be depended on right now 100% and from what i gather data centers mid term goal is a blend of renewables and nuclear. Thing is battery tech is getting insanely better year after year, from what i gather in a decade 70-80% of data centers could run on renewables/batteries with the remaining nuclear/NG. The end goal for a primary power source is renewables. That said i went down a small rabbit hole. Meta, Google, Nvidia, etc are saying they will spend "x" on nuclear but they actually arent doing much more than reviving current plants. What they are claiming on paper would be the fraction of the amount needed to actually fund a new reactor for the power they need. There is a lot of speculation obviously, but it takes a long as time to build a new reactor and there is a lot of chatter its just PR. Dive down that hole if you got the time, its interesting.

NelsCapFinance

The delay isn’t management being patient on price. It’s the brutal reality of what converting a bitcoin mine actually takes. Hyperscalers don't lease crypto barns. A mining site runs on cheap, interruptible power with open-air fans. An AI cluster needs Tier 3 redundancy, dual substations, closed-loop liquid cooling, and serious dark fiber routes. You basically have to bulldoze everything except the grid interconnect and rebuild from scratch. Site due diligence alone takes 9-12 months before a hyperscaler will even look at a term sheet. Also, that $819M isn't real construction runway. Full-spec AI builds are running $8M to $10M per megawatt right now. Building out 350 MW at Panther Creek is a $2.5B+ project, not an $800M one. That cash is just covering transformer deposits and burn rate while they pray for an investment-grade tenant to sign a lease so banks will actually lend them the rest of the debt. The CEO buying $196k of stock is pure PR to stop retail from dumping after earnings. On a $2B market cap, sub-$200k is pocket change. Your 2027 call gives you plenty of time for the binary bet, but ignore the Form 4s. The real leak will show up in PJM interconnection queue updates and weird OTM call sweeps weeks before an 8-K ever hits the tape.

Trump got the name wrong, he should have renamed it to "Lake New York" which would have been perfect, but he resents Mamdani and doesn't want to give him or the state free PR. Next up he can work on also renaming both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and then eventually also rename our entire planet, currently known as "Earth", before his final term in office is over. Always an entertaining day when the President issues announcements. Next.

My argument is that LiDAR based systems are safer today, may always be safer, and Tesla's bizarre refusal to use them is a severe risk for their robotaxi fleet. With Waymo still sitting at 0 at-fault deaths, it would only take a couple of incidents to cause unrecoverable PR and regulatory problems.

Generally speaking, I think most individual stock subreddits arent worth looking at for investment advice. Sure, you have some interesting posts that could inform you on how certain PR drops might impact the company, but overall there's too much risk. Too many people trying to convince others to buy so they can offload their bags, too many bots, and too much optimism without enough constructive criticism.

Refining is key. Any miner can put out a PR about how they have 100 brazzillion MT of proven reserves of any element, how accessible and pure the ore is but if they don't talk about refining or their plan for refining is vague you will lose money. 90% of the names being passed around won't be viable in 5 years. MP is about the only sure bet. Secondary to them are UUUU and USAR, both with rough plans for refining but not yet operational and are in that 5-7 year window before they could be considered in the same ballpark as MP.

I think a spike to put them on the map & then settling down to a level a few multiples higher than current valuation is reasonable, a lot like what happened to $CTM (although it's continuing to bleed, as they're not growing the business like $CAPS is). I keep going back to what happened to $OPEN a year ago, & I don't care if I'm crazy. With \~21M shares OS, a huge portion controlled by insiders/institutions, there can't be too many people along for the ride with me, even after dilution. The stock is barely even traded; a couple thousand of today's volume was from me, & I accidentally sold 1K too 🤣 damn Schwab interface & trying to trade while working. I really don't think the dilution risk is that high; they're approaching a self-sustaining (by organic cash flow) business & have had the debt in check for a while now. Who knows? Maybe they used the recent dilution to pay off some of their debt & are just dragging their feet on a PR about it. There haven't been going concerns in their ERs for a while now; check out [page 19 of the most recent one](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000887151/000143774926027150/caps20260630_10q.htm). Then again, I'm not really trying to sell you on this, but I appreciate you taking me seriously when I've gotten a lot of shade from this one in the past. There're a lot of way worse businesses on the NASDAQ with way better valuations than $CAPS'; that's where this starts, & I'm being greedy when others are fearful. I want 50-100K shares & hopefully can get there...

Shadow marketing is really not a new practice at all. Companies like Uber grew by creating campaigns and lobbies that elevated costs of owning cars & they advocated online heavily for restrictions on car ownership, like the downtown congestion fees in NYC as well in order to boost rideshare use. Companies hire marketing teams & PR bots as they lay off employees because it's a lot less expensive and more profitable than developing better and less costly to provide goods & services. Large corporations work hand in hand with social app platforms, celebrities, & "influencer personalities" to create & deploy complex psychologically manipulative ads, many large platforms know exactly what is going on, they only stop it when there is no profit for them involved. These huge companies have many employees that even work to file complaints against individuals who post complains online now too -- for large companies and even governments now too, controlling online image & PR control has taken over the goal of actually being better at business & support. This is exactly why posting most complaints against large companies & policy on social apps feels totally powerless & falls flat now, and why companies no longer pay attention directly & respond "cordially" to consumer complaints, like they used to when apps like Twitter were new. The social app ecosystem is so large & there is so much money involved, there's no way for it to operate fairly, uncontrolled, & transparently.

The wording of the PR was odd and the proxy statement doesn't seem to have been released yet. If you assume the 10% is a legitimate undiluted holding, then it's worth something. But no one knows how much since Starman is private.

Bloomberg was kinda like that too this morning, though more subdued. British John was all, "Data Centers have the worst PR of any advancement I've ever seen. No one complains about how much water and energy golf courses use." After Mango went all in, I think the message got the the media.

Any reason for it tanking in the first place. The PR looked very good
