Like I said before LLNW is a dead stock. Pennies here and there. Buy the day before earnings and sell before market close. Has worked that way forever.

When I started watching that stock as a Strong buy it was at $7.65. its now at $5.97 will sells and strong sells everywhere I look. I hear no one saying LLNW is a strong buy right now. In the last 6 days of trading its moved a whopping .13. Again we do not trade the same way as I believe long term investing right now is one step away from a complete market crash but if I was, I wouldnt be investing in something with very little upside in the near term. Maybe if you are looking at a long hold on it you may make a few bucks but there are so many better stocks to invest in. Average volume is 2.2 mil shares a day and today was a very heavy day for the stock with over 3 mil shares being traded. No news to influence the stock in over 2 weeks. In the short term it is a dead stock.

Looking towards this on the 7th..It'll open up BABA to for inclusion in to ETFs and more liquidity.
The ANT /BABAs online payment arm IPO of 50 billion will be the largest ever and a huge net positive for BABA..(About 10 Billion in cash to BABA)

This would be huge for both companies..This was what initially drew me in to the NK markets w/ BABA and JD.
Hard to imagine if you live in Mainland China you can not buy some Chineses securities including JD and BABA..connect status would change that the liquidity potential is mind blowing.
Correction on LLNW 200 day moving average is 5.70..looking for another dip.



Alibaba, JD.com likely to be included in mainland-HK stock link programs: experts

Chinese mainland-based technology giants that recently went public in Hong Kong are expected to be included in the stock link programs between the mainland and Hong Kong, director of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Charles Li Xiaojia said.

His comments are a signal that Chinese mainland investors would be able to trade the shares of Alibaba and JD.com via the stock link programs, analysts say.

According to Li, it's just matter of time for overseas-listed, mainland-based companies that shift to the Hong Kong bourse to be included in the mainland-Hong Kong stock link programs, though he didn't reveal any timing for the reform, reported sina.com.cn.

"We haven't reached a deal with the mainland stock exchanges, so it's hard to predict the timetable for the inclusion," Li said.

Li's comments sent a message that it's highly probable that Alibaba and JD.com, two mainland tech giants that went public in Hong Kong recently, would be included in the stock link programs, experts said.

Alibaba was reportedly blocked from being included in the Hong Kong-mainland stock link programs earlier this year because of secondary listings and weighted voting rights.

"In terms of financial conditions, companies like Alibaba and JD.com are qualified for the inclusion," said Li Daxiao, the chief economist at Shenzhen-based Yingda Securities. "I think the mainland stock exchanges want to make sure that the connection between secondary listings and mainland markets can be smooth and don't trigger too much volatility," he told the Global Times.

He also said that there might be some technical issues that involve secondary listings to be included in the stock link programs, but they will only be a temporary hindrance to the inclusion of companies like Alibaba.

Xi Junyang, a professor at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, said that the chances are great for such inclusion amid a trend for US-listed Chinese companies to shift their listings and when the mainland is pushing for financial opening-up.

He predicted that the mainland will further broaden its links with the Hong Kong stock market by incorporating more companies into the stock link programs and further lifting the trading quota.

But as the mainland already has reforms to implement, such as expanding experiments of the registration-based IPO system, so reforms of the stock link programs will likely be carried out in 2021 instead of this year, Xi said.

Charles Li Xiaojia also said that Hong Kong welcomes qualified companies listed overseas to list on the Hong Kong bourse, whether they are primary or secondary listings.

"We believe they chose to return because the US market environment can't bring enough confidence," he said, but added that Hong Kong does not welcome companies that were forced to delist from the US because of their own flaws.

The Hong Kong bourse ranked first globally in terms of IPO proceeds in 2019, completing 169 IPOs and raising funds of HK$314.5 billion ($40.6 billion), cementing its position as the world's leading IPO hub.

Top News

The Fed's annual economic policy symposium, known as Jackson Hole, goes online this year for the first time since it began in 1978. The main event will be Chair Jerome Powell's keynote at 9:10 a.m. ET, which will reveal conclusions of the central bank's review of its monetary policy framework. The Fed may be close to cementing a big shift in its philosophy, being more lenient when it comes to inflation and allowing it to rise past the 2% target (for periods of time) to keep the economy humming. While that's in contrast to its strategy for many years - which is to pre-emptively raise interest rates to fight inflation - the Fed has persistently undershot its inflation target since it was formally established in 2012.
Trending
U.S. equity index futures are off 0.3% ahead of the big event at Jackson Hole, which could also outline how long the Fed's near-zero interest rate environment might last and assess the monetary policy response to the coronavirus pandemic. On the stimulus front, Republicans are reportedly considering a more narrow COVID-19 relief bill as aid talks between the Trump administration and Democrats are at a deadlock. Also on the radar today is a second reading of U.S. gross domestic product for the second quarter, as well as other growth statistics.
On The Move
Category 4 Hurricane Laura has made a 'catastrophic' landfall in Louisiana, according to the National Hurricane Center, which could render wide areas uninhabitable for weeks or months and knock out power for just as long. While the storm has also threatened the majority of Gulf oil and natural gas production, consumers are unlikely to see big price hikes because the pandemic has decimated energy demand. Officials are still assessing the extent of destruction as search and rescue missions begin in battered neighborhoods near the coast.
Heathcare
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT) is up 10% in premarket trade following news that the FDA granted emergency use authorization for the company's 15-minute COVID-19 test that will be priced at just $5. Abbott says BinaxNOW works without relying on lab equipment - at a time when labs can take as long as two weeks to produce results - and uses a nasal swab and a small reactive card that can be administered by a range of healthcare workers, including pharmacists. The company plans to ship "tens of millions" of tests in September, ramping to 50M tests per month by the end of October.
Trade
EU trade commissioner Phil Hogan is stepping down amid growing criticism that he broke COVID-19 guidelines in his native Ireland. Hogan had attended a golf event with 80 other people - including Ireland's Minister for Agriculture Dara Calleary, who resigned last week - and was criticized for not complying with quarantine rules when he arrived in the country. The EU will now have to fill a role that has become even more high-profile in recent months, given the EU's post-Brexit free trade negotiations and a pandemic-induced shock to supply chains.
Stocks
Following threats from Washington to delist Chinese firms that fail to meet its auditing requirements, China is now proposing to let U.S. regulators audit its state-owned enterprises. The concessions are aimed at solving a long-running accounting dispute, but would insist on redacting some information on national security grounds. It may go a long way in resolving renewed tensions. Beijing fired four missiles into the South China Sea overnight after the U.S. blacklisted 24 companies for their efforts in helping China "reclaim and militarize" outposts in the disputed waterway.
Consumer
Moving further into the grocery sector to challenge Walmart (NYSE:WMT), Kroger (NYSE:KR)and Albertsons (NYSE:ACI), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) today is opening the first location of its new chain of Fresh grocery stores in Woodland Hills, California. The 35,000-square foot store will debut the Dash Cart, a smart grocery cart that tracks shoppers' items and allows them to skip the checkout line, and feature Echo Show devices to ask Alexa where certain items are located. There will also be a service counter for people to pick up orders from Amazon.com, and they can also complete returns there without having to package their items in boxes.
Tech
The development comes just a few months after Mayer - then in charge of streaming at Disney (NYSE:DIS) - took the job leading the fast-rising short video app , as well as the role of COO at TikTok parent ByteDance (BDNCE). At the time, it seemed like a consolation prize after Disney's succession planning turned to Bob Chapek to take over as CEO from Bob Iger. It's a notable move coming in the middle of what looks like a sale of TikTok's U.S. operations forced by the Trump administration, with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) apparently leading competing outreaches from Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) and Twitter (NYSE:TWTR).

What are your thoughts on XPEV, Bozzie?

I was reading into it a little yesterday, and thought about taking a small 2-300 share investment for the helluvit just to day I did, but I also think you probably get it way cheaper after the IPO, but who knows.

Tesla is freaking nuts! I mean give me a 1/10th of it from XPEV and it would be ridiculous too...

Maybe if the company ever spoke they would do ok. People just buying more and more thinking its hit bottom. I will buy in if it hits $5.50 but this could tank all the way to 5 just as easy. Cannot be in this sector and not make a peep for 3 weeks. Sector up 3% today and this has tanked 5%

Feels like the bag im holding on TVTY. Had a huge position and started selling pieces off on Monday. Held one last position and it absolutely tanked. Thought I was getting it back this morning and tanked even further. Thank God I sold off 3 quarters at the high. Just wish I never bought another small position on the drop.

Holding off on this till the FDA NDA is decided, Once decided this will either fall big to around 4 bucks or up to 12ish.
I'd say the entire AVDL board buying big blocks last week said a lot about the way they feel.


ADVL

Copied from another site but it's a good explanation of what's happening with Jazz and AVDL..If you're a big gambler this just got more attractive.



[FONT=&quot]"Here's my summary and view of what happened today: Wolfe analyst says that JAZZ has a shot of getting a 1x nightly low sodium version of Xyrem to market by 2024... maybe mid 2023. Apparently the technology combines taking a tablet with liquid. The PK curve is supposed to be similar to FT218 (the new Gold Standard). Avadel sold off because the fear is that 1) JAZZ doesn't have to acquire AVDL to get 1x nightly technology, and 2) AVDL's runway is limited becuase once JAZZ gets to market in 2024 with this presumably best-in-class compound it will be an AVDL Killer. I believe these fears are misplaced because: 1) AVDL FT218 has orphan drug designation which should give 1x nightly 7 years of exclusivity.... AVDL will probably have 7 years of exclusivity with 1x nightly before JAZZ can introduce their 1x nightly low sodium pdt, 2) if for some reason exclusivity doesn't hold, AVDL should still be able to sustain a decent amount of sales even if they are competing against a potentially best in class 1x nightly low sodium offering by Jazz... AVDL can price at a 25% discount and get preferred formulary position and carve out probably at least $300M of revenue in the currently $1.7B SO market.... and AVDL will have a 1-1.5 year head start; 3) due to points 1 and 2 above, there remains a good incentive for JAZZ to consider acquiring AVDL. JAZZ + AVDL can really do some great things in terms of offering 1x nightly low sodium and other things. JAZZ competing against AVDL has to deal with 7 year orphan exclusivity and other issues"[/FONT]

Super interesting..I'm looking into it further
Sold the shit outa the IPO. This is brief but quantifies other EV IPO's of late.
The last line or two of this talks about the bankers job just after an IPO and there is a bit of a warning between the lines.

FSLY is the way to go right now, Major momentum

Again..I'm playing a longer game than you.

FSLY would need to hit 198.00 to do what I think LLNW could do by the end of the first quarter next year.. basically doubling.
I own a good amount of LLNW.. I don't flip in and out much and don't care to much what analysts say about stocks I invest in...
I like FSLY Hopefully they hold that Tiktoc contract (30% of net @ FSLY or close) when the dust clears, it's playing with fire right now IMO till whomever buys Tiktoc...good luck with it.

A surprising party has joined the race for TikTok, as Walmart (NYSE:WMT) joined forces with Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) to buy the U.S. assets of the popular short video app. The bid could total $30B or even more, and as odd as that coupling seems, CNBC reports that Walmart originally sought majority ownership of TikTok in a consortium with Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL) and SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBY). "We believe a potential relationship could provide Walmart with an important way for us to reach and serve omnichannel customers as well as grow our third-party marketplace and advertising businesses," the company said in a statement. Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) is another U.S. company vying to acquire the assets of TikTok, and parent ByteDance (BDNCE) is expected to pick a bidder to enter into exclusive talks as early as today.
On The Move
Hurricane Laura appears to have narrowly missed the heart of the U.S. fuel-making and chemicals infrastructure along the Gulf Coast, and caused less mayhem than forecasts predicted. Officials still had to cope with a chlorine leak and fire at BioLab, a chemical manufacturing facility the Lake Charles, La., area, and Motiva Enterprises reported a leak at its Port Arthur, Tex., refinery, but said it occurred during the shutdown of the refinery before the hurricane had arrived. While Laura has been downgraded to a tropical depression, almost 800K homes and businesses across Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas are still without power.
Central Banking
The fun in Jackson Hole wraps up today as the two-day virtual symposium concludes with the last livestreams from central bankers and other influential officials. Nothing is likely to compare to yesterday's speech from Fed Chair Jerome Powell, which will have a transformative effect on U.S. monetary policy for the foreseeable future. The central bank said it will keep interest rates low to help prop up the pandemic ravaged economy even if inflation rises above its target level of 2% for periods of time. Prices of stocks, bonds and gold all made several U-turns on the news, while equities attempted another green session overnight. Dow and S&P 500 futures are up 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, while Nasdaq futures are hugging the flatline.
Global
The resignation of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe due to health reasons saw the Nikkei fall 1.4% overnight, while the safe haven yen strengthened 0.5% against the dollar as the political uncertainty might prompt money to come back home. "Monetary and fiscal policies will remain intact for now, but the mood will sour like it did last time," said Tsutomu Soma, a bond trader at Monex in Tokyo. "It is going to take a long time for Japan to see a long-standing administration again." Abe, who has battled the chronic disease ulcerative colitis for years, returned as prime minister for a rare second term in December 2012, pledging to revive growth with his "Abenomics" mix of hyper-easy monetary policy, fiscal spending and reforms.
Covid
In a move that would substantially expand the nation's capacity for rapid testing, the Trump administration has unveiled a $750M deal to buy 150M rapid COVID-19 tests from Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT). "This is a major development that will help our country to remain open, get Americans back to work and kids back to school," White House senior adviser Alyssa Farah declared. Abbott said the new antigen test (about the size of a credit card) has demonstrated sensitivity of about 97% and could returns results in 15 minutes.
Trending
After sitting out two days of playoff games in protest, NBA players will reportedly take to the court again on Saturday and Sunday. The Milwaukee Bucks refused to play their playoff game against Orlando on Wednesday as a response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man shot seven times in the back by police in Kenosha, Wis. Hours later, players from 13 teams, coaches and league officials held a late-night meeting that reportedly ran off the rails. Related names ESPN (NYSE:DIS), TNT (NYSE:T), Nike (NYSE:NKE), DraftKings (NASDAQ:DKNG).
Tech
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has introduced a wristband for health and fitness tracking called Halo, priced at $64.99, alongside a subscription service and smartphone app. It brings some new offerings, including technology to track people's body fat percentages, sleep temperature and their emotional state, as well as two microphones and an LED indicator light, but notably lacks a screen. It's Amazon’s first significant move into wearables, which Gartner estimates will be a $52B market in 2020.
Aviation
Boeing's (NYSE:BA) grounded 737 MAX is taking a major step toward returning to the skies after the European Union Aviation Safety Agency said it would send pilots to Canada to conduct test flights, bypassing coronavirus-related travel curbs. EASA will carry out the validation flights from Vancouver during the week of Sept. 7, two months after the FAA and Boeing completed certification test flights in the U.S., followed by Canada this week. Boeing recently reeled in its first 737 MAX order this year, as Poland's Enter Air placed an order for two jets with options to buy two more. BA +1% premarket.
