My ATOS and AEZS options printing money today :steviej:

Picked up some long (1/21/22) IVR calls last week for cheap and already up 130%

Picked up some ELY $30 calls on the Topgolf merger news last week. Was stagnant @ -10% loss until today, up 34% and almost ITM

1st Round Playoff Exits
Vivek and the whole NJ hospitals scandal is the main reason I decided to jump out before the merger:yeshrug:
Tactics remind me too much of shady hospital admins I'm familiar with, and if past behavior is any indication...
I personally don't know anyone who uses their software but they're relatively new so that might not be a good parameter to judge them on yet.
Last I remember they only had around 55k providers using their system
Like I said before, the metric I'm using to judge them comes out in april.
Isn't that their whole claim to "innovation" tho?
Without the software what do they have to offer?
Glitches and bugs happen daily, breh.

Just know if they come out of this I'm going be talking so much shyt around here. :mjlol:

And none of this is new to me. I just see it as politics as usual. This was a hit piece to Chamath.

Klobuchar Pitches Antitrust Reform for ‘Too Big to Fix’ Mergers

"That’s a subtle but significant shift because under current law the onus is on antitrust enforcers to convince courts that a deal is illegal. Klobuchar’s bill would place the burden on companies.

Deals presumed to be illegal would be:
  • acquisitions of competitors or emerging competitors by a company with a market share of 50% or more
  • takeovers of “maverick” firms that are shaking up industries
  • transactions valued at more than $5 billion; and
  • acquisitions of $50 million or more by companies valued at more than $100 billion.

Klobuchar also is proposing giving antitrust enforcers new tools to bring monopoly cases. Her legislation would prohibit conduct that poses an “appreciable risk of harming competition.” The bill would authorize the FTC and the Justice Department to seek civil fines against companies for monopoly abuse."

This is is potentially relevant to the CCIV/Lucid Merger because that merger has a potential transaction value of $15 billion. And if they have to deal with a potential anti-trust suit it may not be worth the bad press and legal costs. But they may feel as though the potential upside overrides any potential downside risks associated with the potential legislation. Thus, it wouldn't shock me if attorneys on both sides of the transaction looked at the antitrust news and became hesitant.

WallStreet Bets is ruined. Went from 1.2M to 8M because of GME. Every post is about holding GME and buying more now. It's turned into bag holder paradise and a penny stock discord.

It's a shame. Use to be a bunch of different ideas and dd posted. Now it's just about trying to convince people to hold GME

From what I'm hearing the whole system is clunky and it's BEEN glitching since 2018 when the lead developer(s) left.
Medicare contracts are super low margin and paying doctors double to bill thru them isn't sustainable.
I don't see it rocketing in the short term and definitely don't feel comfortable holding long term
There's similarly risky plays with way more upside to be had, especially in the short term
On the flip side it's near the bottom so it can only go up from here
Do you breh I'm sure you'll talk yo shyt regardless
