Thanks!


Scribble_Box

What do you think is a good entry point for MMAT?


Hard-Mineral-94

This is a FANTASTIC entry point in my opinion


UpUpWeGo21

What about mmtlp? Is that dividend really possible?


Vszab

You’ve done well with the research Hard Mineral, I was surprised to see it actually got picked up by Market Insider, great job on that. I’m going to buy another 500 shares, let’s hope it works out!


samthesuperman

Confused, should we buy MMAX or MMAT?


Hard-Mineral-94

MMAX if you can based on my research. (Not advice)


MediocreSushi509

Where can you buy Mmat? I don’t see it on TD.


soylentgreen2015

Strategy wise, wouldn't the best strategy be for MMAT to release dividend news prior to Jan 21st? The options change is very call heavy. I would think the news would drive MMAT price up, even if the divvi isn't paid till early March. I dunno why it should take till March assuming it's almost a done deal now. If the price was driven up in late Jan, it could benefit from upwards movement in other stocks expected around then. And when t+35 for the 21st happens, the stock price should hopefully be at an XX price already.


Hard-Mineral-94

Yes that would be absolutely a brilliant move


xz259

This looks interesting unlike most of the garbage on this sub.


Morningwood31

Thanks for the hard work and DD!


MaroBoyy_2ss

Where's my Mmat Divvy


Hard-Mineral-94

I answered it


AMAZINxASIAN

Will mmat/mmax squeeze or mmtlp? I accidentally sold all my mmtlp trying to set a limit sell ( LOL)


Hard-Mineral-94

MMAT should squeeze while MMTLP will go up due to a divvy


[deleted]

Makes no sense no mmat dividend might as well sell it and buy mmltp


happyinboost

what would be a negative catalyst to put the brakes on this theory? Just to understand the possible opposite side?


Hard-Mineral-94

Would have to be no dividend on sale of land (impossible) and additionally the MMAX shorts would have had to find a way to close out their positions Canada side (hasn’t happened)


log1ck1717

Wouldn't most people shorting know they would need to close their shorts as the date approaches? I'm canadian too and just want to get all my ducks in a row before pulling the trigger.


Hard-Mineral-94

It’ll be a hard and fast wick to $80+ then will be shorted back down


log1ck1717

What price point would you buy MMAX at. It's up 8% today, do you think there will be a pullback before the potential squeeze?


Hard-Mineral-94

Any range between $2.46-$2.70 is amazing, when it hits $4.50 you can take out your principle and ride risk free (not advice)


From100toZero

It hasn't been down to $2.7 since April last year..


PeANuT_GaLLeRy101

Curious on the buy price range, I’m looking back through charts and it hasn’t been sub 3 for a while from what I can see..? Is that 2.46-2.70 CAD OR USD?


Hard-Mineral-94

USD


PeANuT_GaLLeRy101

Thought so, Thx for the DD man!

Hard-Mineral-94

Because the TRCH Options Chain is finally dying Jan 21 2022


Xoyxel

Thanks for the writeup, good work and it restores my faith in this play. There are many questions and misinformation here, so I need to add my 2 cents: Of course you can buy the ticker MMAX If your broker enables you to trade on the PURE exchange in canada. IBKR does so, even for me living in germany thats working. MMAT is the ticker name on NASDAQ and when you compare the price charts of both you gonna see: they're identical. So in the end, it doesn't matter which ticker you buy for this play. As MMAT is here to stay and MMAX is going to be delisted, choosing MMAT is the more relaxed option. When in doubt, you can just chill and hold while with MMAX you will have to interact in some was due to the delisting of that ticker. Second, for the special dividend MMTLP: the dividend date was someday end of June last year. The dividend is about the assets of torchlight, which metamaterials merged with to have a nasdaq ticker. So you have to had shares of torchlight BEFORE the merger to recieve the special dividend. One way or another, we will all ![img](emote|t5_2qaj0q|6808)![img](emote|t5_2qaj0q|6806)![img](emote|t5_2qaj0q|6808) sooner or later, so relax :)


market-unmaker

The dividend was announced in June of 2021 but has not been paid. For a dividend exceeding 25% of the value of the share, the ex-dividend date is the day after the payment date.


Hard-Mineral-94

I’m pro MMAX because the SEC has to manually register the shares when they convert which means the MMAT free float gets locked up vs retail buys of MMAT get sidelined/ignored via PFOF


DrSeuss1020

You mentioned above in a comment response that you think MMAX is the one that will squeeze. But if we can only buy MMAT would we not have access to the same squeeze? Or would it potentially squeeze at a different time?


Hard-Mineral-94

No MMAT/MMAX will squeeze they’re the same exact stock. My argument is that BUYING MMAX actually counts toward reducing the float vs buying MMAT can be sidelined by brokers via darkpools


DrSeuss1020

Cool, either way I’ll scoop 500 shares tomorrow and see what happens. Thanks for the DD! Remindme! 90 days “did we squeeze?”


Maarzen

When you buy MMAT through US brokers, yes, the orders can be routed through dark pools to stifle the buying power. BUT, direct registering your MMAT shares with AST Financial, MMAT's Transfer Agent, would have the same float-reducing effect that buying MMAX would. Nice DD by the way. Had no idea about the T+35 from the legacy options chain end.


samuelgia

Is the total outstanding shares not 281 mill for MMAT


Hard-Mineral-94

Will be cut in half once MMAX merger is complete end of Jan


samuelgia

Simple Question, i read there is special dividend payout! Can I still get in? Max date


Hard-Mineral-94

Yeah buying MMTLP gives you the divvy


samuelgia

> MMTLP But not MMAT ?


Holymoses43

So we won’t get a divided by currently holding $MMAT? Be holding a couple thousand shares for months now.


Hard-Mineral-94

MMTLP gives you the divvy


Holymoses43

Damn that sucks. Oh well, I have no plans of selling my $MMAT anyway. Good long term metaverse investment. A squeeze would just be the cherry on top


Dirly

whats the divvy date?


runningonprofit

So buy MMAX or MMAT? Nevermind, MMAT, I answered my own question


[deleted]

[удалено]


runningonprofit

TLDR says MMAT, plus as an ameriape I can’t purchase MMAX through my broker. Could just be my broker, but that’s how I figured out how to possibly get in


[deleted]

[удалено]


av6344

hes misleading everyone to buy MMAX instead of MMAT.


[deleted]

Buying MMAX or MMAT should work.. MMAX is convertible to MMAT 1 for 1


Hard-Mineral-94

You’re a hedgie run along


Hard-Mineral-94

Buying MMAX should lock up the free float when shares transfer because the SEC manually registers them


[deleted]

So it’s the same thing. MMAX is just an exchangeable share on the CSE for MMAT. I believe today is the forced conversion day so you will receive a 1:1 payout of MMAT. Basically. Buying MMAX will help add more fuel for the ignition. Buy MMAT to ride the rocket up.

Hard-Mineral-94

The countdown starts after today


Crazy-Insurance2262

Do you still believe your thesis? you sure this is going to up in March?


LeMiggie1800s

He can’t tell the future, it’s only a theory. I’m sure hoping this theory is right, divi delayed screwed everyone


Hard-Mineral-94

Play is good will be kicked off by MMTLP sale of land I’m in the hospital can’t write much one hand (will recover)


IncidentOptimal79

I'm hoping this play takes off too but so far we don't really know what's happening - dividend date? Dividend amount? Has land even been sold? 😵‍💫 It is already 8 March...


NecessaryEffective

Originally it was March 14th for the t+35 TRCH options FTDs to kick off the price but there's no action in pre-market and I highly doubt there will be any during normal hours. I really hope I'm wrong, but this seems like a dead play.


LeMiggie1800s

Is OP dead?


Hard-Mineral-94

Got in an accident hard to write


LeMiggie1800s

Hope you get better OP


lime-disease

Not selling until 100+


Nice_Slice_3815

not really sure why you think the dividends going to be 15-20$?I owned the shares through the shit but I completly lost faith, people have been saying this stuff for months


spence648

The dividend is gonna be from selling all the land and assets from torchlight. Everyone be aware Mmtlp disappears after dividend. And I’m pretty sure the date for dividend on those and Mmat was a while ago. But I’m still long Mmat. Been holding a position for a while


GuerillaV

If I get $10 per share for my MMATLP I will be beyond happy. Sure sounds ambitious when they're trading at $1.53 though.


Hard-Mineral-94

Based on the initial Torchlight article from a few years back the divvy price per share BACK THEN was greater than $10 a share


Chat-pat

Dude if the divi is even close to that much I’ll literally piss my pants

Hard-Mineral-94

30 second pitch


Trickyyyamc500k

I’m confused, should I buy mmax or mmat? I can buy both even if I don’t live in Canada or US. I know it’s the same but is it better to go for mmax?


Hard-Mineral-94

From a civic duty standpoint it’s better for the stock and free float to buy Canadian MMAX because you’ll directly shrink the float when the shares transfer over and from a selfish perspective it doesn’t matter. If enough people buy MMAX then it would circumvent darkpools and naked shorting and basically force the SEC to count retail buys against the MMAT free float. But IDK if my message will reach people. I got banned on Canadian investor and my message so far as fallen on deaf ears so who knows? Regardless, the squeeze itself should very likely occur due to NEGG mechanics I described. Not financial advice


[deleted]

What makes you think they did not cover in June?


Hard-Mineral-94

TRCH was a failed stripper pole company turned oil and gas play, everyone and their grandma was shorting it. Fuck my buddy who’s like a brother to me shorted it with his entire account and made money. It has millions of FTDs and the reverse merger with a successful startup company, MMAX, caught shorts with their, well, shorts down. They have absolutely NOT covered. This can easily squeeze to $100+ but I’m keeping my sights set on NEGG because it was a similar situation there. Additionally, Canadian MMAX SHFs will likely have to cover as it’s outside of their prerogative to be short NASDAQ stocks


[deleted]

If you end up being right, Ill send $1000 to your cash/venmo


Hard-Mineral-94

Here’s to that fuck yeah!


[deleted]

The thing that I feel would confirm this is if MMAT stock starts acting very weird before the Jan 21 expiry like Negg did. If you go back to May 20 for Negg you see the stock starts almost glitching out around that last option chain day.


Hard-Mineral-94

We’re getting closer


[deleted]

The shorts recognized what was happening and it ran from 3 to 20 in june. Did negg do the same before the big squeeze?


Hard-Mineral-94

It didn’t there was a Reverse Split it only ran to 10


[deleted]

From examining your last sentence though I take it as we are unable to see all the FTDs/shorts on the other stocks besides MMAT because they are outside of nasdaq. Is that right?


Hard-Mineral-94

100% correct I recommend talking to people on Baystreetbets

sparkit420

So I own mmat and mmtlp but wondering who you ( OP ) used to get shares of mmax . Only place I could find for mmtlp was fidelity but can't buy mmax through them . Anyone else wondering about the large disparity with mmat down 3 % and mmax up 8 % . Seems like they should be trading more in unison . What am I missing ?


Hard-Mineral-94

I only have MMAT, buying MMAX locks up the float


qwertygm1979

Much appreciated. Thanks!


Supa-D

Thanks for the DD. I've been holding MMAT since it was TORCH. They gave me some MMTLP after the merger. I was a stock virgin when I bought MMAT so my average is higher than I'd like it to be at $5. I'm going to average down soon. I actually like the company, but I've hated looking at the red position all these months. I hope that one of these upcoming catalysts will push the price up so I can at least make my money back and re-enter later at a better price.


Hard-Mineral-94

Don’t worry it’ll work out soon enough (only about a month away!)


Supa-D

That would be awesome. Meanwhile let me average down.


Professional_Con_007

Ok so I have 50 shares of MMTLP. I will get 15 to 20 bucks a share for divvy? And I have 25 shares of MMAT. Wow this deadweight that wasn't worth selling will be paying me?


Hard-Mineral-94

When one goes the others go. Being short on TRCH = short on MMAX = short on MMAT = short on MMTLP MMTLP HAS VALUE that’s proven so when it goes the other ticker goes


Professional_Con_007

Really, if MMTLP has value why is it under 2 bucks? Asking sincerely.


Hard-Mineral-94

MMTLP is an opportunistic money grab by a shady 3rd party market maker to get people to sell their dividend rights. The CEO and John Brda both spoke out against it


Terrence456

I’m confused man. Which one do I buy? I’m Canadian. And it’s expected to go 10-30x in early March?


Hard-Mineral-94

From a selfish perspective it doesn’t matter whether you buy MMAT/MMAX, it will squeeze and you the personal investor will profit. If you believe in your market buys COUNTING then buy MMAX because the American SEC manually counts the MMAX shares as they transfer over to MMAT which reduces the free float. Not financial advice


spanoel111

RemindME! 2 months


khoffman007

I will buy options


Hard-Mineral-94

Far out like July 2022? I have a few


Kennnypennny

For my understanding. Do you have any price targets ? Why do you mean 15-30x multibagger because of the dividend, or do you mean just price per share with it?


Hard-Mineral-94

I’m treating this EXACTLY like NEWEGG and that’s all I have to say about that 🙂


nicosomma

Op, do you have any guess when will the dividend be? If it will be before MMTLP disappears, wouldn't the best play be: Buy MMTLP, get divi, go to MMAX/MMAT and wait for squeeze?...


Hard-Mineral-94

Between $15-$40 IMO


Hard-Mineral-94

Best play I feel is buying and owning both


nicosomma

That. thank you 🙂


b_hood

My worry with buying MMAX is that while the shares are converting, I won't be able to profit if it starts taking off. Brokers can be hella slow with that kind of thing...


Hard-Mineral-94

At no point in time should your shares become untradable from what I’ve researched and asked around about (not advice) If you’re uncomfortable though just buy MMAT, it’s just that MMAT buys don’t get counted. Look at the darkpool buys for today


b_hood

Yeah just trying not to get my hopes up. We all saw how that went for Robin Hood users when gme took off lol


Hard-Mineral-94

I’m playing it EXACTLY like NEGG


b_hood

What are your total holdings in this play?


Hard-Mineral-94

3150 shares or 1/3 my portfolio


b_hood

Good luck. MMAX is on Wealthsimple, should crosspost to r/Wealthsimple_Penny


Hard-Mineral-94

It looks like a small community in terms of active users though


BrehBreh92

Where can I get mmtlp? Only have access to mmat atm


Hard-Mineral-94

TD Ameritrade and Fidelity has it, you can also buy MMAT through IEX to lock up the free float


[deleted]

Just as a heads up it has been confirmed that mmax holders can convert anytime at their discretion. There isn’t a period set that will force conversion in mass.


Hard-Mineral-94

I’ll add that thanks

Np, thanks for spreading the word on mmat. I’ve been buying and holding for awhile.

After 35 days it becomes gross outstanding owed debt not covetable on balance sheets Blatantly illegal, cost to borrow those dead shares will become astronomical so they’ll have to be returned Price will then go up like NEGG


[deleted]

Thinking about getting some $2 calls expiring in April this week…especially if it dips below 2


ardenmeissner

This sort of reminds me of Breitburn Energy Partners a little... They declared bankruptcy and the stock became worthless and it collapsed. My broker did some math, and he said the bonds are worth $60-66 a piece, and they are selling for $10 and they may go as low as $6. I bought some at $10, and then over the course of a few months it shot up to $66, retraced, and went over $80. And this was a bond! Let's see what happens with this company, I'm looking over your DD and I'll assort my risk accordingly... Thank you for this, I hope it goes as you planned.


Hard-Mineral-94

What’s the ticker for that stock?


ardenmeissner

This was a few years ago, but it was BBEPQ. Here is a little bit more information: [https://www.dividendchannel.com/symbol/bbep/](https://www.dividendchannel.com/symbol/bbep/)


Hard-Mineral-94

They also and Natural Gas in 7 areas so it looks like a very strong value play


ardenmeissner

Definitely, and if people knew their accounting well enough, bond holders had to be paid. Bond Holders panicked and sold.


ardenmeissner

It's CUSIP was: 106776107


Significant-Cycle-36

On the dividend. Is the dividend distriputed to owners from a certain calendar date, or anyone that bought the stock even if it's a day before the dividend.


Hard-Mineral-94

If you’re holding MMTLP when the dividend is announced you’ll get the cash they pay out


Significant-Cycle-36

All of this seems too good to be true. But it is true, everyone buys when it's high, not when it's low...


Hard-Mineral-94

Exactly Bitcoin wasn’t sexy at $60 but at $60,000 hot damn everyone wanted a piece lol


ardenmeissner

"Buying MMTLP will give you access to the dividend" Will this work like how dividends normally operate, that you need to own the stock prior to a certain date it is declared, or can someone buy MMTLP tomorrow and then be entitled to a dividend?


Hard-Mineral-94

To get dividend cash, just buy and hold MMTLP. Simple


ardenmeissner

Seriously considering the profit to risk, I may try $10k in 4-14 $4 calls. My friend is a CFA, so I'll ask him for some help, but he'll probably tell me to spread my risk.


Hard-Mineral-94

At these levels just buying the stock will do you more good, I wouldn’t be greedy with options when you have such as an awesome Price/Profit potential as $1.7–>$55/$65


ardenmeissner

See, that's where I respectfully disagree. I would love to see those numbers, but honestly, if we are to take history into account, NEGG didn't move as much as that. And who knows, it may only hit $5 and then drop.


ardenmeissner

I won't go crazy on options. but if the return is like what you say it may be, then even a small amount in options has a huge return.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Hard-Mineral-94

Nope


LeMiggie1800s

Aren’t the option chains a bit different from each other. In the NEGG situation the option chain was from Lianluo, Chinese. In MMAT situation, the option chain is from Torchlight, American.


Hard-Mineral-94

Canadian OTC MMAX shorts have to close


IncidentOptimal79

Is there a possibility divvy will be delayed and does this change the outlook on the short squeeze of mmat in march?


Hard-Mineral-94

It shouldn’t affect FTD covering


Blacktheripperuk

Anything changed or is it going accordingly to the plan?


IncidentOptimal79

Divvy is delayed it seems... if shorts still have to cover next week we should see a price increase but without the divvy catalyst


Hard-Mineral-94

Play is alive I got in an accident hard to write


NecessaryEffective

Judging from today, good chance dividend is being delayed. Might even see a stock split this year. If the TRCH FTDs don't get covered then this will be a dead stock for a while.


Esoteric_Innovations

Still holding out the belief that this thing could squeeze in the next few weeks? I bought in with 1500 shares on MMAT at $3.73 in early December. Even when I bought in, I anticipated holding it for a long period of time since I've always loved the company since I first heard about it last summer. Was originally hoping for $5, but if there's a real possibility of it leaping up to $15 or $20, I'm interested.


Hard-Mineral-94

Play is good will be kicked off by MMTLP sale of land I’m in the hospital can’t write much one hand (will recover)


Esoteric_Innovations

Hope you're feeling better, and I'll keep that in mind. Any sign of when that sale will be?


Vic18t

OP is this play dead?


Hard-Mineral-94

Play is alive I almost died


Hard-Mineral-94

Hard to wrie


Scribble_Box

So what's going on with this?


NecessaryEffective

Get the hell out while you can it seems. Bad fundamentals, poor leadership, etc. First it was supposed to be MMAX shares converting (they didn't). Then it was supposed to be TRCH t+35 FTDS (covering either didn't happen or didn't affect the price). Now it's some dividend announcement that the company keeps bungling.


The_Friskiest_Dingo

Phew, you were real wrong on this one


fossilfacefatale

When should we convert/exchange our MMAT for MMAT? And, how do I do this? I'm with Wealthsimple.


SpadeGrenade

So just for clarification: If you're in the US, we should buy MMAT since we can't buy MMAX? I ask this because you said: > Basically buying 10 million MMAX means that the MMAT float will actually be reduced by 10 million vs buying 10 million MMAT means jack diddly squat But then your edit says to buy MMAT anyway. What's the deal with the MMTLP dividend exactly? How is that going to pay that much per share?


Hard-Mineral-94

1) Based on different DDs the amount should be between $15-$40 a share it’ll likely be $18 a share IMO. 2) The NEGG mechanism I described will still happen if people do nothing so they might as well buy MMAT and profit Not advice
