Looking at some Oct $10 calls on it.  

That's a decent bet, BUT we're dealing with the FDA which is govt and they can screw bigtime with timelines.  Having said that, the biotech sector appears to be rebounding as LABU (3x biotech ETF) has more than doubled in sp since mid-June.  Should the sector continue to rebound, your calls will make you money even if the FDA hasn't made a decision.  Compare a chart of LABU and IBRX.  The moves are damn near identical.  Of course, if the FDA has given the thumbs up before your calls expire, you'll be in high cotton.  As I said, it's a decent bet, IMHO.

Fwiw for you UUUU people, I spoke with a family member who is very high up in an investment bank about uranium. He said the dirty secret is that many of the western countries, USA included, are quietly discouraging further nuclear power development because the waste product can be developed into plutonium to be used by others for nuclear weapons. These countries are concerned that the buildup of nuclear waste around the world will make it easier for adversarial countries to acquire nuclear weapons. Dunno how accurate this is, but he generally knows exactly what he's talking about. 

I’m going to stay with the other side of that trade.  Holding 30,000 shares of UUUU at avg cost of 5.64.

Trial could drag on for a while, though Delaware seems to try to be pretty quick.
It will be interesting if Elon tries to settle for a lower price, a higher break up fee or to pay lawyers for a shit-ton of hours.

2.55-2.65 is near term resistance.  EOSE needs to break into the resistance.  If so, 3.85ish is the next overhead target and will consider trading some of my position when it reaches there and hold the rest.  EOSE has 21% of the float sold short with 8 days to cover.  This can move up muy rapido.

From what I’ve read, he signed a pretty iron clad merger agreement, but  I’m not a lawyer. The court is clearly considering making it go through.
 

Musk may have stepped in it here. He tends to think he can do whatever he wants (see: SEC) but the thinking is that this is corporate contractual law in a jurisdiction that takes that very seriously. It’s their thing. 
 

The market is skeptical. They believe Elon is Teflon. We’ll see.

If it goes to trial, Elon could win in a big way to be honest.  Once Twitter has to publicly provide detailed percentages of bots and duplicate accounts under actual discovery, he may get the damn thing for $24/share.

My understanding is there’s nothing that has to be proven. There’s no stipulation about bots or not. It’s a signed contract. Twitter is claiming that more damage has been done to the company from Musk’s behavior and voiding the deal than $1B penalty so it should be closed as agreed upon. I tend to agree, obviously.

A contract can’t cover every specific detail. You can can bet there was broad language about misrepresentation which is what Musk will claim.

Sure, but the judge will also presumably not just ignore the fact that Elon specifically waived due diligence. Yes Twitter may have understated bot count to a significant degree but it's not like Elon didn't have ample opportunity to review before offer. I am not even a TV lawyer, let alone real one, but wouldn't be surprised if this placed much more of the burden on Elon than on Twitter.

The example I’ve seen cited was Dow Chemical. They were forced by the Delaware court to close an acquisition even after their funding for the deal was lost via another deal breaking down. They had to get creative with financing to pony up $18B in 2009. Evidently it all depends on how tight the contract is, and supposedly Elon/Twitter is pretty tight.

A company founded to send dick pics, and they plateaued at a $130 billion market cap last September. I get it, the VC's and investment banks will keep taking these shitheaps public as long as the profits are there. PT Barnum indicates that trend isn't going to change.

Pallone Announces New Manufacturing Design Facility and Jobs at Clean Energy Storage Company in New Jersey

July 25, 2022  

Press Release 

Facility Will Add 25 Additional Jobs

Edison, NJ – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) today unveiled a new manufacturing design facility with Eos Energy Enterprises in Edison. Located at Eos’ corporate headquarters in Edison, the Eos Ingenuity Lab will provide the space and resources to continue evolving Eos’ zinc battery technology as it helps accelerates the nation’s transition to clean energy. The lab will focus on expanding the company’s research and development capacity for future generations of new battery technology and will help forge a path toward rapid development of its energy storage systems. 

“New Jersey is confronting the climate crisis with new, cutting-edge battery technology that is creating clean energy jobs right here at home,” said Pallone. “I am immensely proud that Eos calls Edison home and is leading the way on energy storage technology that will help us accelerate the transition to clean energy. These innovations will ensure both our economy and our energy infrastructure are ready to meet the challenges of the future.”

“The launch of the Ingenuity Lab underscores our commitment to building the energy storage solutions of the future,” said Joe Mastrangelo, Chief Executive Officer of Eos. “We have always prioritized innovation and continuous improvement as part of our company identity, but to have a designated site where this can be fostered will help accelerate adoption of energy storage and its critical role in the renewable energy transition.”

Founded in 2008, Eos designs and manufactures state of the art zinc batteries – manufactured in the U.S. and designed to provide new energy storage options in an effort to accelerate the shift to clean energy. Pallone hosted Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm for a tour of the company in July 2021. 

Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law Congressman Pallone helped pass into law, the Department of Energy announced earlier this year new programs to invest $3 billion to strengthen U.S. supply chains for advanced batteries. In 2021, DOE announced a new goal to reduce the cost of grid-scale, long duration energy storage by 90% within the decade that would help the United States reach 100% clean electricity by 2035. Long duration energy storage are systems that can store energy for more than 10 hours at a time and would support a low-cost, reliable, carbon-free electric grid. Cheaper and more efficient storage will make it easier to capture and store clean energy for use when energy generation is unavailable or lower than demand.

Is it a good thing when the Chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee attends a company’s ribbon cutting?  Holding 32,900 shares of EOSE at avg cost of 2.44.
