Have you looked at the options on this thing? Too risky for my blood Stoney. "One should only trade/invest in what they understand." That leaves me out of this one. GL though. You could be right. Not unlike the Chinese.... to a lesser extent admittedly, I don't trust the Germans let alone their FDA, or better said... the politics behind it. They build good cars though. -vz
I don't know about options Van. I know that this company has the best shot i feel at achieving what is known as a Universal Covid Vaccine. I also know that this company is in the sweet spot small enough to really run and they have committed enough of their own funding that no one cares that they are going to charge for each shot. Like MDRNA this should sky rocket. J&J is not making a profit off the shots, if you have enough oars in the water it is seen as a bad political move to charge for the shots but a small bio like CVAC can get away with it...and make billions!

Sit back folks- MGM Resorts Sees Massive Growth From Its DraftKings Rival Licensing 04:37 PM ET 04/21/2021 MGM Resorts (MGM) says its online betting app BetMGM is on track to grab up to 25% market share long-term and rake in $1 billion net revenue by 2022. MGM stock rose. The casino operator is holding an investor day event today. Its $1 billion forecast for next year would be up sharply from the $178 million in BetMGM revenue last year as well as Wall Street estimates for $500 million this year. In fact, in Q1 alone, BetMGM had revenue of $163 million, up 430% from a year ago and 114% from Q4. Long-term EBITDA margins estimates remain at 30%-35%. The company plans to invest $450 million in the business in 2021, expecting it to be the highest annual cash usage. Meanwhile, MGM's estimate for 25% market share contrasts with the app's current share of about 18%. It operates in 12 states, and the company expects it to be in 20 markets by the end of the year. It has 160 million customer profiles. Such steep growth would also come in a just a short time. Launched in New Jersey in 2019 with partner GVC Holdings (now Entain), BetMGM went live in Nevada in March 2020 and has continued rolling out elsewhere since then. Morgan Stanley analyst Thomas Allen expects the company to guide 2021 BetMGM revenue of more than $500 million at its investor day event. "We see potential for MGM to guide to revenue more than tripling in 2021, a step-up from its 4Q20 guide of more than 100% growth and further highlighting this attractive business," he wrote in a recent note to clients Tuesday. "We expect to hear more about profitability (& its components), market access and partnerships." As more states approve online sports gambling, BetMGM and rivals like online sports wagering specialist DraftKings (DKNG) and Penn National Gaming's (PENN) Barstool stand to benefit. Most recently, New York approved online sports wagering. The state's gaming commission will take bids and choose two platform providers, with the option of adding more. Licensees must pay a one-time $25 million fee to the state. And the operator's license will need to be renewed after 10 years. MGM CEO Adam Greenblatt said at the investor day he "sees a path to market in New York." He also said MGM's efforts to focus on online betting during the pandemic is "starting to bear fruit." Half Gummies: A New Tool For Daily Stock Market Analysis Online sports betting has been a focus for MGM, especially as its casinos have struggled through shutdowns during the pandemic. BetMGM also includes more than 100 gaming kiosks across MGM's Las Vegas properties. MGM solidified its partnership with Entain with a second round of investment in BetMGM in July 2020. MGM made an $11 billion all-cash takeover bid for Entain on Jan. 3, which was rebuffed. BetMGM's total addressable market in North America is an estimated $28 billion, split 50-50 between online sports betting and iGaming. Greenblatt says that figure is expected to reach $32 billion long-term. Canada represents a $4.4 billion market, in which BetMGM expects to participat...
Nobody saw this yesterday! Highly volatile and dangerous trade setting up..... Six take-aways from the Waynesville town board meeting Apr 21, 2021 REMEMBERING VALOR — Waynesville Police Sgt. and K9 handler Billy Benhart (right of center) was presented with a shadowbox containing moments of his K9 unit Valor. Valor died of cancer last fall. From job creation and park expansion to new police tools and fallen K9 recognition, the Waynesville town board plowed through a wide range of local government issues and initiatives at its meeting on April 13. Lasso-roping police officers Waynesville police will soon have a new means of apprehending people: a device that shoots out cords that wrap around the subject’s arms or legs to immobilize them. Called a BolaWrap, the up-and-coming law enforcement tool is heralded as an alternative to the Taser. Since Waynesville police currently don’t carry stun guns, the BolaWrap will provide officers with a means of non-lethal force. “We feel like this is the better option,” Waynesville Police Chief David Adams said. “I like to think of it like Spiderman shooting out his web, or a lasso.” Waynesville aldermen approved the purchase of BolaWraps for officers at a cost of $40,000, which is less than the cost of equipping officers with stun guns. “The Taser just feels like it could be a liability,” Mayor Gary Caldwell said, after the town board watched a video of a BolaWrap deployment. Adams responded to the comment, saying, “There is less potential for injury. You don’t even hold it like a gun, so there’s no chance of getting it confused with a gun.” Waynesville police will become the first law enforcement officers in the county to carry BolaWraps. Alderman Chuck Dickson commended the Waynesville Police Department for its adherence to de-escalation tactics and said he doesn’t anticipate BolaWraps to be deployed willy-nilly just because officers have them at their disposal. “I don’t doubt that it will only be used as a last resort,” Dickson said.... >>>>>>>>>>> Well this sort of validates my whole investing premise.... WRAP is the gummy of the day-
I ask myself why with a company dying for press coverage not release this info? especially when they release every successful deployment in test cases... Actual sales to a police force that could be replicated and rolled out nationwide. They should be screaming about this but under their header at Yahoo Finance nothing. crickets.. just this... WRAP Sets First Quarter 2021 Conference Webcast for Thursday, April 29 at 4:30 p.m. ET I know it's risky. But I think this company may have more to say than this one sale.. and that's why they are not crowing right now... giving us this chance to get in at $5.~stoney
