Nikola Corporation (NKLA) 옵션

OK
Back to 42%

Hell - if it can end up 30% ---- we will get to see 10000000 explanations of various sorts - from people who know NOTHING

now 55% for a moment

Give him a call....Makes sense to me!

$NKLA : If Musk buys this TICKER............


He'll own both........... $NKLA & $TSLA




HMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm


GO $NKLA

up 43%

WTF

??????????????????????????????????

I assume PPS of NKLA - while below $1 has become 99.9% a trader's stock - those who can make good money on five cent moves

The news for anyone really interested in owning a stake in the future of NKLA will IMO be 100% r elated to CAPITAL INFUSION

Does it happen -
yes (how much dilution - 80% to 100% on the table)
no (bankruptcy)

all IMO but I think my opinion is right on

do we know when/if they will be announcing Q4 numbers?
my broker thinks it is this week

$NKLA: Biggggggggggg push here........... from $0.57 to now $0.68


Whats the deally yo ??????????

Can't believe its running..... bottom bouncer


GO $NKLA

YUP

Any investment was gone with the 1 for 30 RS (that was needed then)
It is now all speculation
The idea of H being a major source of energy for transportation remains intriguing

My interest is in some % ownership as I can not lose my money twice

And - if say 500MM is secured - and our 100% ownership again becomes 3% or 5% ---- I likely will buy more as a spec

I have said for half a year - I do not know why anyone (even fans) is buying as dilution big time is needed for NKLA to survive

10 months ago, the pps was $34…it’s now 55 cents…but some are on pins and needles waiting to see what is going to happen to send the pps sky high…

And other than a deep dive down in the pps and the company failing in just about every way, some think that with a few hundred million more dollars, they could turn it all around…because, you know, they are a really good company with top management….

Smh

NKLA

"13/G filings this week with significant increase in #NKLA share ownership of 3,545,693 shares by
@NorgesBank"

they aquired those shares at price of $1.19 apiece...the pps today was 55 cents...and ended down 9%...

" NORGES BANK (Trades, Portfolio) executed a notable transaction by acquiring 3,545,693 shares of Nikola Corp at a price of $1.19 per share."

norges bank is trying to dig themselves out of a hole...

smh

that makes sense

as - if - NKLA had a goal of 300MM in 12-2024 and it fizzled - then it would be over by now
as - if - NKLA had a goal of 300MM in 12-2024 and it worked - all would be pushed to July

thank you

I will blame AI for the mistake in the article

Seriously - more and more articles on the web CLEARLY patch together other articles with AI and get stuff wrong

what you are talking about occurred in Dec 2023...


https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/where-will-nikola-stock-be-in-5-years-0

no

I think they had 50 then 65 and now 80

I read - about the Scandinavian Fund which DID NOT SELL ONE SHARE OF NKLA - but whose ownership went from 5% to 4% last quarter due to increase in share count (apparently large enough to take them from 5% to below 4%) . The article that spoke to this - briefly - noted the NKLA had tried to raise 300MM dollars in December via convertible debt and or equity

so - that is what I read - and my question is --- Did NKLA make this try? And if it did --- Did it succeed ?

I could care less if it added 300MM debt (convertible) but got 300MM cash

So I am asking

(Note on Wed it was announced that some Canadian Fund had a 5% share - likely due to the Walmart stuff a while ago)

nkla had only 85 mil o/s shares...you are suggesting that they may have flooded the market with 300 mil more shares?...

fine - as your opinion

do you know if NKLA did or did not raise 300MM in December - raising cash with equity or convertible to equity debt

the scandanavian fund did not sell yet their % dropped a bunch -- suggesting NKLA may have raised 300MM

do you know?

I do not know what this 40MM you speak to is

nkla burned through an average of almost $50 mil a month last year...their debt was $350mil...and their cash on hand was $200 mil...

another $40 mil or so of massive dilution only prolongs the inevitable...

there was an overkill of the share price with rumors of bankruptcy so the pps has bounced back a bit...

Help with understanding what I read elsewhere

That fund in Scandinavian went from 5% owner to 3.8% owner ----- but not by selling but by growth in shares from 50-60MM to 85++MM ??

That logic (and indeed 85MM shares when one month ago it was 50MM ?) circles around some supposed effort to raise 300MM in December via equity and convertible stock

Is this familiar to anyone

If NKLA had enough for a quarter and then did this capital raise ---- IF IF IF ---- how is it near bankruptcy as so many outlets repeat ?

We may know any day --- but that - a new 300MM effort in December - seemed to NEW ?

this stock was $30 per share in April...today, pre split, it is 22 cents...maybe just let this company die without taking any more investors with it...

they tried and failed...miserably...its over....or at least should be...

So there was a video of Milton on another board, maybe the Nikola Community on X, talking about the long road that Nikola has been on, and how it wasn't over yet, implying that he knew something about the future of the company. Let's assume for a moment that back when the stock was high, he cashed most of it in, pocketed billions, and now is buys the company through shares to take control of it once again. Hmmm.

yes
best I see - and it is cool by me as the money was lost with 1 for 30 RS and $30 to $20 to $10 to $5 ... on very few resultant shares

some one or some company buys new shares for 90% of company - but why not 100% - but hey?

If there are 60MM outstanding shares - what is some company buys 600MM shares - for $1 each - with all the money going to the company they now totally control

A bankruptcy, in my view, is inevitable

trying to see if there is any known reason for this bounce.

The company NOT commenting on. The Forbes article says that there is a fair amount of truth to it.

The silence this year so far also supports this

BUT I do hope the business continues and is successful. they are so close . As stated previously the stock may no longer be relevant if bought out by private investor through and arranged bankruptcy to handle current debt.

Now I am glad I got some .47s for the trade. Maybe make a little money back here, would be nice if they found someone to purchase significant portion of it rather than going BK route.

jmho

and now

last gasp (all types of pre 11 settling that I do not understand but it could be - e.g. various brokerages and or people or need to buy to not have a visible naked short?)

235% of normal volume

volume is on a super up day so far - up almost 30% just today

still pennies but WTF

yes pennies
but

from 43 to 57 (pennies x millions of shares) ----- that is 33% increase

WTF

lets see where it ends

5 cents or 10 cents makes no difference to 1/30 shares ----- but I do wonder who are all those buyers ---- it could even be those who sold 31 days ago and taking a new long position - on a why not basis

Just looks like some short covering and a few repositioning their entry points. This will more than likely end in the red, no positive catalysts left. Once BK is called then you may get a dead cat bounce but nothing else left for this equity. Unless you are trading for pennies, in and out.

jmho

It's not the first time we've seen this kind of move up only to pull back to a new low. I'd love to see something good happen, but I'll have to see it to believe it.

Head scratching --- hey even the beat up NKLA folks

?

up nearly 20%
volume already at 130% of prior daily average

head scratcher

Market open half our
Volume - GREEN - in NKLA at about 50% of a full day?

To the list in prior post ---- why not add

1. Someone thinks they know something good is about to happen (right or wrong - rumor type)

2. Someone does know something good is about to happen ???????????????

At this point - given my sense of the cash needed - and how companies to not buy trucks from companies rumored to be one foot in the grave --- I will take any and all deals that leave me a FUN level interest and ownership in NKLA. The 1:30 and then the decline from $31 a share to $20 to $10 to 50 cents already beat up the first speculation. So right now - if some company wants to buy NKLA but keep us around - maybe for a next IPO-SPO ---- using 60MM as the true outstanding shares (post 1:30) -- NKLA could issue say $540 MM shares at a $1 - giving that company 90% ownership - and NKLA then has a partner- "owners" - and 500M in cash for say 12-18 months to get CASH even

I am most likely dreaming

So who is buying NKLA stock with the AX over our heads as equity owners?

1. Hedge funds - as a GAMBLE
2. Speculators as a speculation

3. Brokerage firms. I assume a TON of NKLA stock has been shorted ever since the 1 for 30 - all the way down. While Naked shorting is illegal - brokerage firms often (big time) lend a short seller THE STOCK" from another person's account. In essence - if I am right - the brokerage company - like Schwab who just bough a bunch - wants (needs) to hold as many shares as are shorted AT THE FIRM (and then works inside the firm to try and make sure that those who shorted have strong finances - are certified investors (qualified?) and have lots and lots of margin space

That is a guess on my part but boy it seems logical

Posted Feb 6, 2025.

I expect - if NKLA goes 11 - that stock holders (current !!) can bring a civil suit against that crook and in 3-6 years might collect that 150MM (if he has it)

question - and I bluntly do not know the answer

10K is near zero at $100 or so --- trust me I know !!!!

but

what if you sold your 1/30 quantity of shares the day after the RS ---- what was the value ?

again - I wonder but do not know --- I assume the reduced number or shares were priced for a day or two at about 25X current value --- so maybe if you knew it was a scam - with that RS - you should have sold then? Just asking --- as I lost a bit more -- but NKLA was a small part of individual stock part of portfolio which was never in total more than 5% (and right now FNMA and FNMAS etc are up 500% from lows so just about breaking even on SPEC)

zero

will be interesting to see

how many H trucks produced --- zero ?
how may battery trucks still owned by original buyer - repaired -- zero ?
how may trucks - NEW - of any sort - sold - zero?

?

over 500 trucks produced. just go visit Californian ports,
visit the HYLA refueling stations.

As for the RSs thats how you have to fund companies as they build low volume (hence high cost and negative margin) vehicles to get their first customers. Those customers are now adding to their EV/FCEV fleet as the the driving experience is so much better than diesel

In hindsight they should have been raising significantly more cash when doing capital raises. I am not sure if there ever was a parter who would have injected significant cash for a share of the business. There were also some side avenues like building their own hydrogen production capability which was way to soon - in hindsight.

I still hope the factory and business survive but don't see a future for NKLA the stock

How you explaine dilution after dilution followed by RS, more dilution another dilution another RS then more dilution all based on zero trucks produced?? Its a FRAUD

“but that wasn't by the current management”

Did all management get fired and replaced along with the ceo?…because I suspect the ceo wasn’t flying solo with that fraud…there were quite likely many in management, vp’s, directors etc who had knowledge of what was taking place…which makes them complicit…

Thus “that wasn’t done by the current management” may not be accurate…

“as you say the older management were investigated and brought to justice”

The ceo was…not “management” to my knowledge…

So I can’t really say someone who feels there could have been fraud is dead wrong…I don’t believe there was…but I can’t state for a fact there wasn’t or even that it is highly unlikely…

It would be highly unlikely if there had never been any fraud allegations previously…but there has…big time…

“If Trevor would pay his restitution ($100m +) we would have another quarter of getting closer to FCEV 2.0”

It wouldn’t make a bit of difference…he should pay that money to a reputable charity where it can do some good…

UK, I agree with you. I don't understand why the restitution hasn't been collected, and indeed it would have helped a lot. I'm frustrated that though there is a settlement against Milton, that there hasn't been a quick collection of funds. This is a breakdown in our justice system, as I see it.

but that wasn't by the current management

our statement was definitely directed at the current management "Company is a fraud, needs to be investigated."

as you say the older management were investigated and brought to justice

If Trevor would pay his restitution ($100m +) we would have another quarter of getting closer to FCEV 2.0

“Far fewer mgt issues here than with PLUG though
please tell me what fraud there has been”

2 1/2 yrs ago, the founder and ceo of Nkla was sentenced to 4 yrs in prison for fraud…

I don’t believe there has been any fraud recently…just ineptness and a very bad business model…

But clearly, there has absolutely been fraud in their history…

there is no fraud.

I lost far more than $10k on this and the fuel cell stocks. the business strategy was fine but in NKLAs case they hit some issues - the BEV recalls for sure was a problem.
Things take longer than mgt planned and of course policy changes cant help.

I learned a lot about cutting losses and I keep watching as I believe i limiting emissions and this is a great product. When the time is right and if they are still tradable and not private then I will jump in again but they need to be operating cash flow positive.

Far fewer mgt issues here than with PLUG though

please tell me what fraud there has been

Yeah yeah. Tell this to people who bought it 2 years ago. 10k investment is worth $100.
Company is a fraud,  needs to be investigated. Good thing I only lost like $250 on this scam 

" hey are so close to being successful"

they are miles away and they know it...they had zero chance of getting it done...i cant imagine private equity wanting to touch nkla with a ten foot pole...
