FMCI (Forum Merger II Corporation).
This is a blank shell corporation that was setup to accept a reverse merger, allowing a company to go public without the IPO process. Same route that VEctoIQ/Nikola took to great success this week.
The rumour was that this would be Impossible Foods, which is a rival to Beyond Meat which is flying this week, and the price went from $10-$15 on that rumour (Full disclosure, I bought at $13.50)
The news is out now that it will actually be another smaller competitor called Tattoo Chef. Now it's not Impossible Foods (which would have driven this stock up 4 times), so a lot of disappointed holders will be selling this morning. Should drop the price significantly today and a lovely entry point. Tattoo Chef will be a small company, starting off with a market cap of about $300m. 2021 estimated revenue is $220m.
I see this going to $30 fairly quickly.

So good so far... the financials stack up too..

Speaking of betting, DraftKings and GAN (Irish owned gambling IT system) had big days yesterday, fulled by
1. The golf tournament at the weekend was the biggest golfing gambling event of all time
2. Casinos beginning to reopen
3. Other sports starting to reopen

Can see both going higher in the next few weeks. GAN have results this week

I jumped in on both DKNG and GAN recently, along with GMBL (Esports Entertaining Group). Lots of room for growth in North America with sports betting only legal in a few states with loads more pending. Not to mention everyone is starved of sports recently, I see those companies doing well as their customer base opens up

My thoughts precisely. I have a small holding of GAN. I got in about 2 weeks ago on the basis that Michael Smurfit snr invested. I assume his family connections advised him it was a good investment.

SP promptly went down 17% of course from that point.... I'm just about back up at BEP now. But onwards and upwards

Bought once, sold once for very little profit. Wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole now.

All that risk for so little, was it worth it?

Anyone looking at Trinity Biotech $TRIB? Irish company with covid tests in the pipeline. Expecting FDA approval by end of June. Thinking it could go on strong run with covid spiking in some countries

Interesting play with Sony! Hadn't even thought of gaming stocks outside of GME which I watch closely (waiting on a sub 3.50 entry)

In fairness I don't know how much impact a succesful PS5 launch will have to Sony's overall share price, they are ginormous after all.

But I am quietly confident on PS5 - it looks great, games look stunning, and the new digital only console should work out cheaper, with less things to go wrong, and more game revenue should go directly to Sony. This of course could mean bad news to GME type businesses - no more used games trade-in/sale model.

If you check the playstation thread a lot of people dont seem too convinced by the digital only version, would still prefer the disc version

Plus a couple of them said how consoles are usually loss making for the first few years, the main money comes from new games and there wasnt really any big announcements on that front

Today I'm still holding NBRV. Possibly sell this before day end, otherwise stop loss if it gets above 1.10.

Also holding CLRB still, more of a medium term hold. No other plays on the horizon right now

Nemeses2050

Yep no action this week....everytime it looks like we'll see a sell-off someone is propping up.

Sony have been a great performer for me over the last couple of years. I know it won't be anything like it with the PS5, but have a look at the Sony share price in the lead up to to the release of the PS2 in March 2000. The stock was trending nicely in the months prior to Covid.

If you want to do a comparison you could check out the effect on the MS share price when they released the digital only Xbox.

The thing to consider with the digital only versions is that the platform holders are moving to a subscription model, as with Xbox game pass, and the digital only console + subscription is the value. The catalog will be a big part of that.

Microsoft are already doing well there and heavily invested in streaming too. The big feather is that your subscription to Xbox game pass allows you to play the same games on your windows PC.

On that front streaming services will become a major part of the eco system so you can effectively play anywhere there is internet.

I guess predicting the outcome of console wars is almost as hard as trying to time the stock market.. PS5 digital will sell though - the entire world is moving away from hard media / discs, so no two ways about this. The only concern is how well MS will fight back (after losing last four rounds).

And although I am personally on the PS5 camp, I am really curious about the upcoming Flight Simulator, which I am sure is going to be an XBOX/PC exclusive.

The Financial Times reported in October that Wirecard staff appeared to have conspired to fraudulently inflate sales and profits at Wirecard subsidiaries in Dubai and Dublin and mislead EY, the group’s auditor for a decade.


As per the FT this morn, not a good look! 1.9 BIO is a lot to just drop of a balance sheet..

Lex Luthor

picked up some $VISL the other day at $0.69

Bodycams could be in high demand going forward, not only on the law enforcement side but in sport aswell...
