AMC shares rose After $100M Secured-Debt IssuanceAMC Entertainment Jumps After $100M Secured-Debt Issuance
AMC issued $100 million in debt of five-year secured notes. to help finance operations through the pandemic.
In December the Leawood, Kan., company had secured a commitment for the debt financing from Mudrick Capital Management, the New York investment adviser.
Interest on the notes is 15% a year, payable in cash semiannually beginning July 15. For the first three interest periods after the issue date the company can choose payment-in-kind interest at a rate of 17% a year. After that interest must be paid in cash. The notes mature April 24, 2026.
Late last month, AMC filed with the SEC to offer as many as 50 million shares in an effort to avoid a bankruptcy filing.
That filing came on top of 200 million shares it filed for earlier in the month.
AMC has said it needs $750 million.
“And in the event of such future liquidation or bankruptcy proceeding, holders of our common stock and other securities would likely suffer a total loss of their investment,” it said in the filing.

Tilman Fertitta Is in Talks to List Casino, Dining firm Via FSTTilman Fertitta Is in Talks to List Casino, Dining Assets Via SPAC
Texas billionaire and Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta is in talks to take his casino and restaurant empire public through a merger with blank-check firm Fast Acquisition Corp., according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The special purpose acquisition company is in talks to raise more than $1 billion in new equity to support a transaction, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. The deal could value the combined entity at up to $7 billion including debt, one of the people added.
The new company, which Fertitta would still control, is set to include casinos and restaurants under the Golden Nugget and Landry’s umbrellas, they said. If talks are successful, a deal could be announced n the coming weeks. Terms may change and discussions could still fall apart.
Representatives for Golden Nugget and Fast Acquisition declined to comment.

Sorrento could surge 275% in 2021, Here is why...H.C. Wainwright analyst Ram Selvaraju rates SRNE a Buy along with a $30 price target, which implies a 275% upside from current levels.
Factors behind the optimistic outlook:
1. Sorrento has a stake in two cell-based immunotherapy companies that could “drive value in Sorrento shares over the coming months.”
2. the analyst highlights Sorrento’s “burgeoning portfolio of assets spanning three distinct therapeutic areas (non-opioid pain management, oncology and COVID-19).”.
3. two rapid COVID 19 detection tests; COVI-STIX, for which the company filed for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) in the U.S. in December, and COVI-TRACE, which Selvaraju claims could come in handy at any mass gathering event.
“We believe that the incentive to facilitate the large-scale and indeed ubiquitous deployment of the COVI-TRACE test is extremely high and governments worldwide may seek to implement this in their respective regions,” the 5-star analyst opined.
4. Other Covid-19 candidates include COVIGUARD - a SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody, COVI-AMG - an affinity-matured version of the COVIGUARD neutralizing antibody, a neutralizing antibody cocktail named COVI-SHIELD and COVIDTRAP, an ACE2 receptor decoy, intended to imitate the mammalian ACE2 receptor that acts as the primary portal for the SARS-CoV-2 virus to penetrate human cells.

Oppenheimer Analyst Says buy, following of some positive dataOppenheimer 5-star Analyst Says BioNano Genomics is ready to Execute in 2021.
the latest move was decidedly upbeat. In Wednesday’s session, the stock took off to the tune of 40% following the publication of some positive data.
article which made side-by-side comparisons between Bionano’s optical genome mapping platform Saphyr and PacBio's HiFi chemistry revealed that Saphyr had the upper hand on several metrics.
Across 32 different human genomes, PacBio technologies found only 72% of the large SVs (structural variants) that Bionano’s optical genome mapping (OGM) detected.
Saphyr was also found to be better at locating indels in regions correlated to neurodevelopment.
Additionally, Saphyr appears to be more cost effective. The platform’s estimated cost of $500 per genome coming in far below the $10,000-20,000 per genome when HiFi and SMRT sequencing are put into action.
Oppenheimer’s Kevin DeGeeter believes the data should help Saphyr make further inroads in the “large SV research market.” The analyst views 2021 “largely as an execution year.”
We expect the data to support broader adoption of Saphyr for de novo sequencing and research applications. the 5-star analyst said.
“Furthermore, we expect 2021 to be an important year for adoption of Saphyr for clinical cytogenetics market based on a series of positive recent publications... Based on our current assessment of the competitive landscape, we do not believe long-read sequencing technologies can replicate Saphyr's performance and cost structure for digital cytogenetics testing.”
Accordingly, DeGeeter reiterated an Outperform (i.e. Buy) on BNGO shares, along with a $1.5 price target. The implication for investors? Strong upside of 113% .
Two other analysts have thrown the hat in with a BNGO review recently, one saying Buy and the other recommending a Hold -- all add up to a Moderate Buy consensus rating. Meanwhile, the average price target stands at $1.42, implying gains of 101% could be in the cards over the next 12 months.

BlackBerry sold 90 smartphone technology patents to HuaweiShares of BlackBerry (NYSE:BB) soared Thursday despite an apparent lack of company-specific news. Investors may have been responding to a report published earlier this week that said the company sold some of its patents to Huawei.
Canadian newspaper The Globe and Mail reported Tuesday that BlackBerry had sold 90 smartphone technology patents to the Chinese technology giant Huawei.
BlackBerry stopped manufacturing smartphones back in 2016, but the company still has a large number of patents relating to those devices. Selling some of them is yet another clear sign that it has moved on and is putting its efforts into other businesses.
investors may be continuing to express their positive sentiment toward the tech stock, which is up more than 100% over the past six months.

Short Selling Put OptionsI’m Markus Heitkoetter and I’ve been an active trader for over 20 years.
I often see people who start trading and expect their accounts to explode, based on promises and hype they see in ads and e-mails.
They start trading and realize it doesn’t work this way.
The purpose of these articles is to show you the trading strategies and tools that I personally use to trade my own account so that you can grow your own account systematically. Real money…real trades.
Short Selling Put Options
When short selling put options, a question people ask me is,
“Okay, Markus, how do you decide what strike price do you want to sell and whether there’s enough premium in there?”
I made a put options calculator called “The Wheel Calculator” that I gave away as part of my recent class on selling put options (Theta Kings) that helps me determine just that.
This calculator is now also integrated within The PowerX Optimizer Software as well.
Using my put options calculator, I can enter a few different figures and it quickly lets me know if this stock makes sense to sell put options on.
I started a small account with $25,380, and have continued to grow it substantially.
This was all done by selling put premium using my handy put options calculator!
So let’s take a look at a few examples using the airlines.
Here’s how you can quickly compare if an option makes sense to sell.
So United Airlines UAL , at the time of this is trading at $31.08/share.
So I’m going to take a look at the April 24th expiration and the $20 strike price.
I’m thinking maybe it would be a good idea to sell the $20 United Airlines UAL put option.
So now that I have the strike selected that I would like to sell put options on, let’s take a look at the premium these options have. This will let us know if this trade actually makes sense.
Right now, the Bid/Ask is $0.74 over $0.87. So I probably can get $0.80 for selling this option. This is all I need to enter in my spreadsheet, along with the expiration.
With the needed inputs entered into my handy dandy put options calculator it tells me,
“United Airlines can drop 36% and you’ll still be okay.”
It has to drop 36% before we get in trouble. I think that’s pretty good odds in my opinion.
The cool thing is that it also says that based on my account size, I should buy 17 options, and I would collect $1,320 in premium.
So this means that per day I would get $110 in premium. That’s not bad at all if I can make $100 on just one position.
And I like to have 4 to 5 positions in my account at any given time.
So based on the number of positions I like to have, this means that you can make $400 to $500 per day collecting premium. I like this a lot because it means annualized I would make 87%!
87% is nothing to sneeze at, right?
Short Selling Put Options — American Airlines
So now let’s do this same thing with another airline, American Airlines AAL , and see how the numbers look.
So like we did with UAL , I’m looking at what strike price in relation to where AAL is trading would it make sense to sell.
For American Airlines AAL it looks like probably the $8 strike price would make sense right here.
You always want to do it below the previously established low. So let’s take a look at American Airlines AAL .
The price right now is $12.26. the options strike price, we said we’d probably have to look at is $8.
Here we’re able to collect $0.35 per contract at the $8 strike price.
And you see, I could actually, since American Airlines is so cheap, buy 41 options based on my account size.
So 41 options and I would collect $1,444 in premium. This means I would get $120. That’s not bad at all.
And you see, American Airlines AAL also can drop 35% and we would still be OK. We only get in trouble if American Airlines over the next 15 days drops more than 35%.
Possible?
Yes. This is why you should always be willing to own the stock.
And this is why you want to make sure that you’re not getting in trouble. You need to adjust your position size based on your account.
Here obviously, I don’t want to trade two airlines because if airlines are crashing, they probably all do. With that said, let’s take a look at Boeing AAL .
Boeing Example
I like trading Boeing. I'm looking at a Boeing AAL chart to see where might be a good level here to sell Boeing.
Based on where AAL is trading at right now, it looks like $100 would be a good level to take a look at.
Let’s first try a strike price of $100, shall we? For $100 we get probably a $1.55 right here, with Boeing AAL trading right now at $150.
So if we were to sell the $100 put option on AAL , we are looking to make $1.55/contract.
And you see, this means that Boeing AAL could drop 33%, so we’re good here.
However, we can only buy three options.
Why?
Because Boeing AAL is really expensive.
So if we would have to buy Boeing at $100, this is when it gets expensive, right?
So you see, the strike prices here are much, much, much lower.
This is where you see I would only trade three not to overextend myself.
And that’s very important when you’re selling puts. You want to make sure that you’re not overextending yourself because otherwise, you’ll get margin calls.
Margin calls are ugly. A margin call means that your broker tells you,
“I want more money.”
You want to avoid that at all costs!
Because if you don’t have the money, you would have to sell the stock at a price that you don’t want.
Usually, this is how you can wipe out an account.
Anyhow, you see this is how we would only make $43 a day.
Let me ask you, what would you rather make? $110 to $120 per day? Or $43 per day?
I don’t know about you, but for me, these are better.
So it’s very easy to quickly compare which options you should be trading when you’re selling puts.
One of my favorite trading strategies right now is selling puts.
This is what you have seen in the past few examples.
My goal is to make $400 to $500 per day by doing so.
The best days to sell puts is on a down day.
On a down day, the VIX is usually shooting up and options premiums are higher.
This is exactly what you’re looking for as a premium seller.
For experienced options traders, selling put option premium in an environment like this can be a great way to consistently generate income, even if the stock doesn’t do exactly what you want.
I hope this helps!
GameStop Soars With Activist Ryan Cohen Gaining Board SeatsGameStop Soars With Activist Ryan Cohen Gaining Board Seats
GameStop Corp. jumped after activist investor Ryan Cohen stepped up his transformation efforts at the struggling video-game retailer, gaining a seat on the company’s board along with two allies.
Cohen’s RC Ventures -- GameStop’s second-largest shareholder, with a 13% stake -- has been pressing the Grapevine, Texas-based chain to undertake a strategic review to cut more costs. Cohen, the entrepreneur who helped build up the Chewy pet-supply site, also wants GameStop to increase the variety of products and services it offers online.
“We are excited to bring our customer-obsessed mindset and technology experience to GameStop and its strategic assets,” Cohen said in a statement Monday.
The stock rocketed up 210% last year on hopes that it would benefit from the release of new video-game consoles. GameStop lost some ground in early December after reporting third-quarter sales that missed estimates and announcing plans to sell more stock, but it rebounded toward the year’s end.
Along with Cohen, Alan Attal and Jim Grube are joining the GameStop board. Both men worked with Cohen at Chewy.
That news seemed to overshadowed a disappointing holiday sales release from GameStop, GameStop reported a 4.8% year-over-year increase in comparable-store sales for the nine-week holiday period ended Jan. 2. Coronavirus-related losses of store traffic knocked a high-single-digit to low-double-digit percentage off those sales, the company said, and net sales dropped 3.1% to $1.77 billion.
finance.yahoo.com
GameStop CEO George Sherman said in the news release that “together, we have reached an outcome that is in the best interest of all stockholders and can enable GameStop to accelerate efforts to deliver enhanced value for the company.”
Excitement that Cohen can help turn things around was compounded by the stock’s high short interest, estimated at about 58% of shares available for trading, according to data from S3 Partners. That’s left the stock primed for a short squeeze. But the rise of digital game downloads amid declining earnings necessitate a bold new strategy.

How To Start A Successful Trading BusinessWhen you start trading, you need to go into it like you would if you were getting ready to start a business.
Too often, I see new ‘traders’ who open their account and before ever mapping out any goals, a strategy, a trading plan, or anything, they’re already putting money into the markets…
…and for me, this isn’t trading, this is gambling.
So in this article, I’m going to walk you through how you can start your own successful trading business.
So let’s dive in!
Starting A Trading Business: Step 1 – Charting Software
First, as a technical trader (like me) you MUST have good charting software.
Charting software is your window into the world of stocks.
As a technical trader, we rely on charts and indicators to find high-probability setups.
Charting software with good indicators is an essential first step in your path to being a successful trader.
I personally use (and highly recommend) TradingView.
It is a paid service and for what I do, I use the Pro Version which currently costs $14.95 per month but it is well worth it.
Remember, starting your own successful trading business requires a modest investment into the ‘infrastructure’ of your business.
Step 2 – Finding The Right Broker
Now on to step 2, finding the right broker for you!
Finding the right broker can be a tricky process, especially if you live outside of the United States.
If you’re trading stocks and options, I highly recommend tastyworks, or Interactive Brokers if you live outside the U.S.
Starting A Trading Business: Step 3 – Trading Strategy
Next, now that you have your charting software and broker, every trader needs a good trading strategy.
Similar to the broker, one size does not fit all. Why?
Well, there are a LOT of variables that can go into developing your trading strategy.
For example, are you trading for Income or Growth or the amount you have to trade with?
All of these things play a big factor in the type of strategy you want to, can, or should trade. Right now, I’m trading two strategies. My core strategies right now are, The PowerX Strategy and The Wheel.
Step 4 – Trading Computer
The next thing to consider when getting your trading business set up is you will need a computer.
Almost all brokers and trading software are cloud-based, so you don’t need a seriously advanced computer anymore.
Most computers that are less than 3 years old should be more than powerful enough to run even the most system-intensive trading platform.
Step 5 – Additional Monitors.
Now, for your home set up, I think at least one additional monitor is a must. The good news is that if you have a laptop, you already have one monitor! If you travel a lot (like me) I would highly recommend the ASUS MB169B+ 15.6″ Full HD 1920×1080 IPS USB Portable Monitor.
They’re lightweight and work great on the road or at home. It fits easily in my backpack (because I HATE checking bags) and doesn’t add much weight.
Step 6 – Trading Newsletters
Next, over my morning coffee, I like to read a few different trading newsletters.
I have three primary newsletters right now where I get most of my market-related news.
Most of the talking heads on TV are absolutely terrible for getting non-biased information anymore.
No matter what station, everything you hear is coming through some sort of filter.
For this reason, I stick with these three newsletters that I’ve found to provide good info:
- Morning Brew
- Seeking Alpha’s Wall Street Breakfast
- The Rockwell Trading Newsletter
Summary
Now that you have all of the pieces in place to start your trading business off on the right foot, in my next article I’m going to go through something that at first, I’m sure you will cringe: Trading Taxes.
But I assure you if you’re proactive and take the time to get set up and structured properly, taxes aren’t actually as bad as you’d think for full-time traders.
I hope this has helped and you’ve enjoyed it.
Good trading!

Why Qudian Stock Popped higher in 2021?Why Qudian Stock Popped higher in 2021?
On Dec 30, 2020 in Brussels, European Union negotiators finalized the terms of a historic investment agreement with China. Seven years in the making, the new Comprehensive Agreement on Investment is expected to grow international trade between the EU and China, facilitate cross-border investment, and "strongly stimulate" the economies of both nations, according to Chinese president Xi Jinping.
CNN highlighted the financial services sector, electric vehicles, and healthcare as three areas of the Chinese economy likely to benefit especially from the trade accord.
Don't expect to see immediate benefits for Qudian Stock, however. Just because negotiators have signed the deal doesn't mean that their respective legislatures will ratify it, and the Comprehensive Agreement can't go into effect before that happens.
According to FT, EU officials are targeting an effective date for the agreement no earlier than 2022.
