Just bought more shares at $35.13.
FYI - HGRAF usually makes announcements before the market opens on Tuesday. Keep that in mind if you are planning on selling or taking profits.
Sometimes, there is a nice bump right before closing on Mondays...

I didn’t buy both of mine back either. My $185 put executed so added 100 more shares. Contemplating my next move lol
My $175 put did not execute, and Ive decided that I really don't care if it does, or not. I'll take the shares, or not...

I think they’ll announce new hyperion builds before contracts.
I think the next significant announcement should be that the hyperions in Austin are producing and/or that they have broken ground on the pipeline and production facility.
I think HGRAF investors already knew about the gas contract and factory. I think breaking ground will be a confirmation that these things are really happening and that HGRAF is going to legitimately produce graphene.
I think that a large contract that requires additional hyperions to be built will be announced simultaneously with the plans regarding how many new hyperions will be needed to fulfill that contract.
quote:
For existing HydroGraph shareholders, I would characterize the interview as incrementally positive rather than transformational. There weren’t any blockbuster customer announcements, but there also weren’t signs that the commercialization strategy is breaking down.
I would characterize it cautiously optimistic. I think a lot of people took it as somewhat underwhelming, but I think she wanted to avoid over promising.
She did drop hints.
One, they downplayed planned production, but emphasized that they are able to scale up quickly to almost unlimited capacity. The advantage that they have is that unlike an auto manufacturer or data center provider, the scale up can be done quickly with a relatively low capex, and be revenue positive quickly. They planned for that expansion, if needed.
Two, she mentioned that they were focused on big clients, meaning that they have a real shot at a large contract.
Three, she mentioned that they were trying to get government contracts/grants and got a big grin on her face when she mentioned it. She seemed confident about it.
What we got on Tuesday was basically a LOI to buy gas and build a factory. Maybe the market will respond more positively once they actually break ground.
The only things that will make this stock jump up and sustain is big contracts and/or government involvement. The rest is going to be incremental or temporary.

I think the plan was mostly to give investors a ‘wink wink’ hint to the anticipated Dept of War grants and/or contracts
This. I think the conference call will help the stock price as people look at it and read between the lines as to what she was saying.
If you're holding long ter, this is good progress and she discusses how they are going proceeding conservatively, but the expectation is that they are pursuing and working with large companies and expect large contracts at some point and they are ready to scale for that.
quote:
Well the timing of the acetylene contract could not have been worse.
We will be fine eventually but I’m just disappointed.
It seemed a bit rushed. No advance notice of the conference call. Looks to me like they were bailing out the stock before everyone got too nervous.
Having said that, it's not going to matter much, because the real announcements are going to be NASDAQ listing and customers. Right now, I think Kjirstin probably has a few contracts in her back pocket to throw out there if she thinks the stock needs a boost. Redomicile/NASDAQ will bring in new investors and give it a bump, but I'm hoping that those announcements are followed by news of customer contracts AND an increase in projected production capacity for the end of 2027 - right now, it is 750 tons. One government contract could make that look inadequate...

It's multi-faceted. I was having this conversation the other day. To paraphrase what was discussed:
1.) He makes fun of them and belittles them (deservedly so). Stupid ideas are stupid ideas. Leftists try to bully you by calling you a bully for not agreeing with controversial and stupid ideas without question.
2.) He undermines the Marxists and calls them out for what they are. Global Warming, claims of racism, claims of fascism, income inequality, free healthcare/housing/higher education/food, defund the police, DEI, etc, are all tools that Marxists are using. Divide and conquer, while creating economic conditions that will have people begging for the government to step in and take over.
3.) He scares them - not because of what he does, but because they fear that he will be successful. Not just successful, but successful in spite of leftist opposition. They have no room for claiming that they had any part in the border security.
4.) He openly opposes globalism by putting America 1st. Sending jobs/money overseas promotes Globalism where no country is better or worse than any other. They are all equally bad. Protecting the border falls in this bucket, too.

He needs to publicly tell Iran that he is going to take over the Strait of Hormuz and rename it the Strait of America...
No idea on how big, or how much.
My conspiracy theory is that they have slow walked this move to production because they are waiting for that gubmint money. The Army or someone is going to help them make a lot of graphene for the DoW.

where is the next level of support for this thing....$135?
I dont know, but I sold a put at $175, and that was BEFORE the stock ran up to the $290's. I-m kinda hoping it hits.

I’m changing my prediction. Don’t think this moves the needle much, if any.
I said on the Discord that I thought the price was going to go down because of profit takers, based on the fact that this call was just a clarification of what we learned 2 days ago.
Within 1/2 hour of opening, the same people that criticized me were "manspaining why the price was going down."
At any rate, it appears that Kjirstin is being very pragmatic and trying to to set expectations for "Bonkers" level stock prices. They are moving forward to meet known demand, and it is slow and steady.
Having said that, I think at some point in 2027, we will see a large contract come out of the blue, with the government or a large corporation that will make this stock go parabolic. Just my gut feeling. They are laying the groundwork for doing this piece by piece and making sure they have the ability to scale up in a hurry if they have to.

My feeling is they will let yesterday's PR run this week and drop another one in the coming days or week.
My feeling as well. They probably have a few customer announcements that they can drop here and there between now and NASDAQ, just to keep the interest up. I would want to be listed by NASDAQ before I introduced a large customer.
quote:
Might have first customer announcement tomorrow ….press release includes Chris Subrock from Midland Compounding.
This is the thing I'm looking for. Customers with a PO inked. Customers buying graphene and then they start bragging about how graphene improves their products. That leads to more customers.
The production facility is nice, but without customers, its useless.
I think the plan is to have the plant under construction and customer orders backlogged before the redomicile/NASDAQ news hits. I want to see more customer news.
NBIS is determined to make me red for the day and HGRAF is keeping me above water. We'll see where we end up...
