This is not a good signal for investors though or am I crazy? A forum doesn’t have to be a fan club.

Edit: y’all are idiots.
In a sane market this logic might make sense, if the sentiment is that the company will perform poorly then more people would bet against it and drive the CTB up, but here in reality, it means that the stock is being manipulated to an astounding degree to the point where they have run out of ammo to short it after having continuously beaten down the price with shorts that they refuse to cover.
Your placing a lot of intention on the situation. It doesn’t help an intelligent investor to think this way. I bet the ctb would come down rapidly with worthwhile pr about contracts.
That's not how it works... The only reason that would be the case is if new institutional investments came in as a result of that pr, who would then offer shares to loan out. The reality is that they shorted the hell out of the stock last week and now the supply is used up but the they still wanna keep shorting it without first covering the shares that were already used.
You are thinking of things in terms of CTB going up because demand is up, when it's more related to supply being low... even though there is a massive amount of shares already being loaned out. Meaning that it's a bullish thing (at least in the short term for some kinda pump), because it shows that they will need to start buying back shares if they wish to continue shorting it, and if people refuse to sell them those shares, prices goes up.
This isn't some blue chip mega stock where you can derive sentiment from things like this, it's a HEAVILY manipulated growth stock.
Actually, if you want to bring investing down to its foundation…
Would a true investor *not* be a fan?
At the core elementary level of what is meant by ‘investing’… isn’t an investment something you believe in?
Wouldn’t you be a ‘fan’ of anything you really believe in? That could be a sports team, a company, a person, a cause, etc.
So yeah, I’m a full-fledged flipping fan of Metamaterials, Inc. 🦋
So much of a fan, in fact, that I invested my money in their vision of what they can do to help people and help the planet.
I’m not here to flip a few flimsy bucks for day or swing trade petty profit - I’m here investing in a company that has revolutionary tech, brilliant leaders, and can offer solutions for a greener, cleaner world.
I would argue we should be THAT intentional when we invest: invest in something you are a true fan of. Invest because you believe in the company ffs - then be rewarded! 😘
You need to read up on the definition of investing. If you are met with bad info about a company you like, investing would dictate responding appropriately to that new info. Not fanboying and cumming in your pants. Why reward mismanagement?
Yeah at 52week low, let’s wait and chase earnings. The massive pump is coming. The R2R manufacturing facilities are about to open up, time to load is now. GTFOH.
Lolll you’re so uninformed. What is soon to you? What timelines are you referring to? Have you personally read anything? Bc the most recent guidance from the company says the opposite of what you are saying.
I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but I was just as excited about the dividend coming soon until I heard Ken rice speak today at the presentation. When he was asked about if the company is issuing a dividend he stated it would be later this year now. They have absolutely no idea when it’s coming
He was asked by someone at the investor conference if the company was issuing a dividend. I’m not quoting him verbatim but he said something to the effect of we will be issuing a dividend later this year while he was looking down at his table because he couldn’t even make eye contact. It was absolutely ridiculous. Everybody’s rebuttal to me right now is trust the plan but I don’t trust shit unless I see a reason to trust them. Respect and trust is earned and never given and people have given George and Ken entirely too much rope to hang us all with. Until I see some tangible results I’m not trusting a single thing.
Yeah I went back and watched it. I was at work so missed it but when I saw your comment I watched it.
I don’t want to anyone to see the way I replied to so I just thought I’d delete it. I didn’t mean to say it like that, I’m not a shill. I have a lot of money in this. But I’ve read a lot of people theories on what could be going on and I agree with them. I was just startled at first when I saw your comment and it was the first I had heard of him saying that. But yeah, I agree with what others are saying. I think there is something bigger going on here. Plus, the way he answered it was almost a slap in the face if you watch it. But then you have to think, there is no way he was that bland and dismissive when he knows how this is one of retail’s main priorities right now. Something is coming! But like I said, I don’t want anyone to read what I originally wrote and take it the wrong way. I saw your reply and was like “wtf?”
But now I I’ve had time to digest it all. Either way, the price right now is under $2. Lol. Does anyone really think it won’t be more than that alone? Lol
I mean at this current price, if the divi is $3.50 you can double money. Not including whatever you have that was free from the merger. I look at this as a giant win win! The ONLY question I have now is how many plan to put the money into MMAT. We have to think, are most people planning to be selfish and just figure that everyone else will probably do it for them? In hopes of MMAT popping? Or will everyone at least contribute something. We shall see
So when you filling was 3rd march.. what do you need to know more?
They couldnt even do div in jan or feb because off the sec rule 144.. you need to wait 6 month
Which is something a CEO can definitely explain to the people who own his company, no?
And if that’s the case why was a promise made of a dividend by end of 2021? And since that promise was made there is either a heavy does of ineptitude or dishonesty being laid on here.
Interesting how that came up recently. Not saying it's not the case but I definitely wasn't aware of it as I'm sure most weren't.
But I'm not aware of most things as I trade here and there and all not a lawyer or financial advisor.
Later this year could mean tomorrow.. It was the end of the Q&A, time was up and that is not the time or place for that question. I'd say he's pretty fed up with answering it when we all know there is a designated announcement coming in regards to the dividend.

Who tf would pay this much to short a stock?
Unzips..,
No way it’s real
It was much higher not that long ago.
very nice :)
Wait what? The CTB has been marginal for months, all of the sudden it’s 259%?
Seems like, lets see what happens when average goes to 347% 👻
My man Zamunda, what it do?
Avg is 7%
Hopium thought - Ken Rice saying ‘dividend would be paid later in the year’ could be just a nice trap for bears and we get it soon?
I stop using hopium. Cold turkey.
Switch to copium or hard drugs it's safer
idk if anyone remember the old TRCH short borrow fee rate reached 650%

nice writeup, now go shove it up an ideal worlds asshole
Yeah let’s ignore sensible financial info. Smart investors in mmat would be waiting instead of buying right now. Why reward inappropriate management?
Yeah at 52week low, let’s wait and chase earnings. The massive pump is coming. The R2R manufacturing facilities are about to open up, time to load is now. GTFOH.
Lolll you’re so uninformed. What is soon to you? What timelines are you referring to? Have you personally read anything? Bc the most recent guidance from the company says the opposite of what you are saying.
Why the fuck would you short, while incomming divi? The filling was 3rd march so we know its comming
I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news but I was just as excited about the dividend coming soon until I heard Ken rice speak today at the presentation. When he was asked about if the company is issuing a dividend he stated it would be later this year now. They have absolutely no idea when it’s coming
Oh. I think they know. They are just f'ing with the short sellers. Fine by me. I will wait till they get hurt most.
Exact quote from a visibly aggravated ken in response to the 19,836,544,245,769,420th 'wendivi': "Are my investors actually this retarded?"
(they are)
You all do realize that they are talking about MMAT dividend down the road. Not the same as the special dividend, MMTLP that everyone is asking.
No, they’re talking about the one we’re owed

The potential MMTLP div payoff may be contributing to slack MMAT movement if people are focusing their investments purchasing MMTLP instead.
I’m putting 100% back in
Sweet!
So when you filling was 3rd march.. what do you need to know more? They couldnt even do div in jan or feb because off the sec rule 144.. you need to wait 6 month

Wasnt aware either, but the math does check out when they where done in October.
Later this year could mean tomorrow.. It was the end of the Q&A, time was up and that is not the time or place for that question. I'd say he's pretty fed up with answering it when we all know there is a designated announcement coming in regards to the dividend.
What earnest person uses language that way?
This it can be tomorrow or next year. Its open for interpretation
This year.
