LIDR (Warrants): Good question!! I myself mistakenly guessed that I could score big off this Firm's Warrants, since I had seen them soar in the Post-M last Thursday to 360%; but they did not run any higher when the Markets opened Friday. But in ANSWER to your Warrants question generally, there simply is NO (predictable) ANSWER TO ANYTHING THAT TRANSPIRES ON WALL STREET!!! The price-moving "VARIABLES" behind any stock or firm are nearly infinite and --- as with ANY area of Human knowledge, inquiry, industry, commerce, or science --- the more the UNANTICIPATED, and otherwise potentially CONFOUNDING variables there are, well, the more UN-likely any attempts at PREDICTING good (or bad) outcomes become. (But then, you can always get one of those Market SCANNERS, or become a stock market CHARTEST --- if you get a sense of satisfaction out of a mere, shall we say, Wall Street PLACEBO EFFECT, that is!!!)
"Hold-on, Invest-in-America!! I'm workin' on the LIDR Warrants for MONDAY, right now!!"

LIDR: Nope!! NOT on the LIDR-Warrants, Capt. Tim!! NOR on that disappointing @NVAX routine --- notwithstanding my stupid pumping about NVAX's glorious news with that French Big Pharma. But I did score some petty green behind the LIDR parent firm --- having gotten in LATE after the Open Friday, when LIDR was already up by circa 46%; but even from there, it continued to rocket anyway!! (ME & Orion's T-F-CD had been exchanging posts about the LIDR parent firm's questionable "news" about their new alleged partner/collaborator, that "LITEON" company.) Overall, a DEPRESSING day for me, last Friday --- barely having made it our alive!! Might as well been workin' at Denny's that day, flippin' BURGERS vs. gambling-chip "stocks" on Wall Street!!!
"Heck, whatever happened to those easy, one day, 10-bagger scores on Wall Street!!?? Before the OTC & SEC cleaned it all up!!?? DAMN-IT!! Heck, maybe we do need TRUMP back in Office!! He likes HOOKERS, & grabbin' chicks by the PUSSY!! Get that Al Capone-like spirit back on Wall Street, FOR GOD'S SAKE!!"

LIDR: Hey, Dude, but --- as you know with this stuff --- it STILL could run. Maybe merely a 'typo' routine by their PR affiliates?? Bottom line, a final determination would entail a direct phone or email contact with LIDR itself to see what their 'March announcement' comment meant, if anything. (Meanwhile, and here we go again with that @NVAX monster news stuff!!!!) GOOD LUCK TODAY, wherever you gamble!!!

LIDR: Few final comments here. Hey, don't misinterpret my intentions here. This Firm's WARRANTS soared 334% in the Post-M today, which I myself grabbed early enough to be very HAPPY right now in THAT regard. Bottom line, I am saying the SAME as you did in your POST to me. I.e., please SHOW US that LIDR (supposed) 'March announcement' which said Firm ITSELF states in their PR of today that they allegedly (publicly) made back in said MARCH. However, both my own DD --- and YOURS as well --- curiously reveal that LIDR never did make such a 'March announcement' regarding anything at all about the subject "LITEON" company. (Well, enough said; and I hope both I myself & YOU score some bank off this LIDR Firm tomorrow!! And perhaps the LIDR Firm will put some more, shall we say, 'LITEON' what they are actually doing with said LITEON company --- I know, CORNY.)

LIDR: The Firm ITSELF discloses their clever ruse in the opening paragraph of their 5-9-24 (today) "news" ---
"DUBLIN, Calif., May 09, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AEye, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIDR), a global leader in adaptive, high-performance lidar solutions, today announced that the non-binding Letter of Intent ("LOI") announced in March is with LITEON Technology Corporation and is intended to provide AEye with a customer channel and industrialization partnership. Both companies will work together to supply AEye’s 4Sight™-based lidar products to automotive original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs") who are focused on safety through automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems ("ADAS"). This is a logical collaboration as AEye continues to focus on its unique capital light business model, which leverages automotive Tier 1 partnerships to deliver AEye’s lidar solutions to OEMs through world-class pipelines."
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/aeye-announces-partnership-leading-automotive-210000423.html
Can YOU yourself not see that --- even on this present 5-9-24 date --- the LIDR Firm still does NOT yet have a cemented CONTRACT of any type with their (merely intended) supposed partner???? Also very odd, is that LIDR evidently NEVER DID (publicly) "announce" during this past MARCH of 2024 their supposed intention to eventually "collaborate" with "LITEON" company regarding ANY type of activities. Indeed, my detailed SEARCH of LIDR's own website's listing of their PRESS RELEASES going back way past March of 2024 disclosed NOTHING about the March (purported) "announcement" which they claim they made in their PR of today!!!!!

LIDR: Be careful here, as their (purportedly) new "news" is merely a regurgitation of their identical "news" of a couple months ago --- wherein they did NOT divulge the NAME of the firm with whom they (back then) had a nonbinding letter of intent to partner or otherwise "collaborate". But in TODAY's "news", they have finally --- & graciously of course --- DIVULGED the NAME of the FIRM behind said (nonbinding) intent letter, collaboration, partnership, agreement, etc., etc., etc.!! CLEVER!!!

Hundreds of Stocks Have Fallen Below $1. They're Still Listed on Nasdaq. -- WSJ
8:30 am ET December 3, 2023 (Dow Jones) Print
By Alexander Osipovich
Hundreds of stocks have broken the buck this year, following a slump in the once-hot market for buzzy startups seeking rapid growth.
As of Friday, 557 stocks listed on U.S. exchanges were trading below $1 a share, up from fewer than a dozen in early 2021, according to Dow Jones Market Data. The majority of these stocks -- 464 of them -- are listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, whose rules require companies to maintain a minimum share price of $1 or risk being delisted.
Investor-protection advocates say many of these sub-$1 stocks belong to risky small companies that should be on the over-the-counter market, the traditional home of "penny stocks" not ready for the prime time of Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange.
But instead of being delisted, the companies are maneuvering to maintain their Nasdaq spots -- alongside blue chips such as Apple and Microsoft -- as long as they can.
"Any company that looks to list and remain listed on Nasdaq must satisfy certain requirements," a Nasdaq spokesperson said. "Our rules, like any other exchange, are approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission and provide specified periods for companies to regain compliance with the applicable requirements."
Companies with a share price below $1 can stay listed more than a year before Nasdaq kicks them off. Largely owing to the pileup of stocks below $1, around one in six Nasdaq-listed companies is running afoul of the exchange's rules, Nasdaq data show.
"Exchanges are supposed to be gatekeepers and list only bona fide companies that have investor interest," said Rick Fleming, a former SEC investor advocate. "If a bunch of companies aren't really meeting those standards, it undermines the seal of approval that the exchanges are supposed to be imparting."
Many of today's sub-$1 stocks went public in 2020 and 2021 during a boom in initial public offerings and deals with special-purpose acquisition companies. Mergers with SPACs were a popular way for startups to go public until a regulatory crackdown in 2021 slowed the SPAC craze.
Nasdaq's website lists 583 companies that are "noncompliant" with its own listing rules. Besides falling below $1 a share, common reasons for companies to become noncompliant include failing to meet minimum targets for float, stockholders' equity or number of shareholders.
AEye, a maker of sensor technology for self-driving cars, is on the list because its shares have been stuck below $1 for nearly a year. They closed at 15 cents on Friday, down more than 98% since AEye made its debut on Nasdaq through a SPAC merger in August 2021.
The company plans a reverse stock split before the end of this year to regain compliance, an AEye spokeswoman said.
Reverse stock splits have surged as struggling companies seek to boost their share price above $1. There have been 255 reverse splits so far in 2023, up from 159 last year, according to data provider Wall Street Horizon.
Some investors view reverse splits as a black mark on a company's reputation, so companies often avoid doing them until there is no other choice.
Under Nasdaq rules, a company whose shares fall below $1 for 30 days gets a warning stating that it is noncompliant and has 180 days to get its share price back above the threshold. At the end of that period, many companies get an additional 180-day grace period if they say they are considering a reverse split or some other way to get back above $1.
At the end of the second 180-day period, companies can still avoid getting kicked off Nasdaq by requesting a hearing to appeal the delisting decision. Until the hearing, they won't be delisted. Companies must pay Nasdaq a $20,000 fee for the hearing.
Some of the sub-$1 stocks have enjoyed bursts of heavy trading volume as individual investors pile into them, driven by social-media chatter.
Inpixon, a maker of location software for factories and warehouses, unleashed a brief trading frenzy this summer after announcing a merger, even though it is a relatively obscure company whose shares have traded below $1 since January.
On July 25, about 267 million shares of Inpixon changed hands -- representing 2.7% of the shares traded in the entire U.S. stock market that day and more than 300 times the previous day's volume, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. On Friday, Inpixon closed at 7 cents a share.
Nasdaq has required listed companies to maintain a $1 share price since the 1990s, though it suspended the rule during market crashes in 2001, 2008 and 2020. The NYSE has a similar minimum-price rule on its flagship exchange. But the Big Board has far fewer companies trading below $1, because Nasdaq attracts the majority of companies with small market caps, which are more likely to fall below the threshold.
The recent surge in exchange-listed stocks trading for pennies raises concerns about market integrity, said S. Ghon Rhee, a finance professor at the University of Hawaii and co-author of a 2011 academic study on Nasdaq's $1 rule.
"When it comes to risks associated with stocks falling below $1, our findings suggest that noncompliant stocks were much more vulnerable to catastrophic losses," Rhee said. "Investors could have their entire investment wiped out."
