REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Microvision (NASDAQ:MVIS - News), the leader in light scanning technologies for display and imaging products, announced today that it has entered into a commercial product development contract with a world leading transportation sector systems integrator.

****MVIS****
 
no. I have a full position.
 
I sold my MVIS into the news this morning, for a 20% monthly gain.

Mgmt told the world at CES to expect a cell phone deal by summer. So when they finally announce a deal, the stock will be bid up because mgmt did what they said they would do?

I see it differently. My guess is MVIS won't announce a major cell phone deal until after the registration statement for the last private placement is declared effective. Then the institutions who bought that discounted stock will be free to sell. So, the retail smucks who buy MVIS on a cell phone announcement will provide liquidity for the institutions who bought in the last private placement. After the PIPE guys are done selling, the stock may lift again if investors like the the economics and extent of the opportunity.

I'm just a lowly maggot, who started my life in a pile of goat shit.
 
What are PIPE guys?

Is ther a date for the last private placement?
 
A "PIPE guy" is an investor in a private placement of a publicly traded company, usually a hedge fund. A PIPE usually takes the form of either a convertible security or straight common stock often priced at a discount to the prevailing market. The stock isn't freely tradeable until it's registered with the SEC. The PIPE investors usually demand in the purchase agreement that the registration statement be declared effective within a specified time after purchase (usually 120 days).

The registration statement is either a form S-3 or SB-2 on EDGAR. A form 424B3 on EDGAR let's you know the registration statement has been declared effective by the SEC and any stock listed on it is freely tradeable.

The most recent S-3 hit EDGAR on March 21. So if all goes well, the registration statement should be declared effective before the end of July.
 
I just pulled up the S-3 and realized they didn't do a private placement this time. It's a shelf registration. That means they haven't sold the stock yet. Once the shelf is declared effective, any securities sold off of it will be freely tradeable from the date of effectiveness.

Sorry about all the confusion.

I'll go back in my pile of goat shit now.
 
Thanks for the clarification.

I have been burned by these before as new supply dilutes my shares on the open market.

Do you see MVIS in danger of this?
