Now if you could show me Beth Kindig of the IO Fund, someone investing real money in real funds in companies of this type I sent her info about 8 months ago but got no reply and I'm no longer a subscriber so don't know if she has said anything about it. It was ~100M marketcap then and pre-revenue which is probably too risky for her to consider. I view this more like a VC opportunity that is rarely available to us peons. Yes it's risky but getting endorsements (and hopefully shipments soon) from the companies I mentioned before is good enough to make me sleep well. My living expenses are covered with a 100% secure inflation-adjusted investment so I feel comfortable with the risk here (and ditto for a large crypto holding). P.S. I don't have a problem with paid reviews as long as they disclose that. I feel I can discern whether they are spewing BS or not.

"Now if you could show me Beth Kindig of the IO Fund, someone investing real money in real funds in companies of this type, is still buying it... then I'd be interested as she was very early on Nvidia and Tesla and those were still great buys after initial huge gains." How about 51 funds now holding vs 34 prior quarter including 14 hedge funds vs 9 prior? From my post on agoracom.com: Using the linked website, scroll down and select the Market Value column and click so that a DOWN arrow appears. This organizes the data in decreasing value which includes both CALLS and PUTS, as well as common. If you select "100 rows per page" all will appear on the same page. Interesting items to note are average prices for common holdings, percent change in shares, date of latest filing, etc. whalewisdom.com Here are a few things that caught my attention: 1. SUSQUEHANNA has the #1 total Market Value which is nearly 100% CALLS ($21.8M vs $0.2M PUTS) and zero common. 2. Note the many filings dated just recently (Feb 11-14). 3. Our HFT friend GROUP ONE is #2 in value and also heavy in CALLS ($16.7M vs $0.9M PUTS). 4. MMCAP is #3 in value and 100% common at $11.4M (after recently dumping 2.8M shares). Their average holding price is $2.28. No data on Warrants. 5. Besides the many HFT participants, I was delighted to see Renaissance Technologies recently increased thier common holdings by nearly 10X (952%). For those of you who don't know, Renaissance is one of the best performing hedge funds in the world and I view this as an extremely strong endorsement. Have fun poking around that website!
