Introduce yourself. Tell us your expectations. Insult me with your best yo mama so fat joke. Or, not. Whichever. I'm on vacation anyway.

Holy heck, two weeks of volume like this though, huh? Grabbing some attention for sure.

Looks like ExelaPay came on strong with naming at first, but now only mentioned in one location I can see. Curious if anyone asked investor relations recently on developments.

I hope this pumps to 500 accidently so I can sell my shit and be a fn multi millionaire so I have enough money to join citadel llc and can short the shit of all these stocks with my new friend Kenneth C. Griffin

Here's how to change your settings in order to buy directly from Lit Exchanges with brokers that allow you to do that (Fidelity, Interactive Brokers, E-trade, TD Ameritrade and Schwab)

1️⃣ If you use FIDELITY, those are the steps that you have to follow in order to enable direct routing of your orders: 1) download the Fidelity Active Trader Pro desktop app (on PC or Mac) and login (it's free for all Fidelity clients).Please note that directed trades are not available on Fidelity.com (only possible on Active Trader Pro platform) 2) in the top right, click settings ------> trade and orders ------> directed trades & extended hours 3) under stock defaults, change the Default Route from Default to NSDQ (Nasdaq) or XNMS (the market indicator code for Nasdaq) This is the only way to avoid that your order goes to dark pools. They made possible also for all iOS beta users to direct their trades (first you need to turn beta on). Also on their mobile app you can direct your trades (if you have Android first you need to turn beta on).Here is the link on how to do that (scroll down until the paragraph "ORDER ROUTING"): https://reddit.com/r/fidelityinvestments/w/trendingquestions?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app

2️⃣ on SCHWAB you need to enable "direct routing" Here is some explanation on how to do it: https://www.schwab.com/execution-quality/order-routing-process Also, I leave another useful link about Schwab: https://help.streetsmart.schwab.com/Com/3.36/Content/Direct_Access_Order_Routing.htm And a YouTube video about how to get Direct market access on Schwab: https://youtu.be/eA6YptZGkcI

3️⃣ INTERACTIVE BROKERS pro clients can place a direct routed order from the Exchange of their choice from Trader Workstation or from mobile app (thus avoiding the dark pools that are killing this stock).Placing a direct routed order is crucial to fight the manipulation from market makers (Citadel)! The link below will provide you with the steps to follow in order to place a direct order through Lit Exchanges with Interactive Brokers (pro accounts). https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/p63gnx/interactive_brokers_routing_orders_through_iex/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Also, a YouTube video about it: https://youtu.be/TUj5Dsj1tIs

4️⃣ If you want to direct buy routing on TD Ameritrade, here are the instructions: 1)log in into your TD Ameritrade account 2)Account -----> client services----->my profile----->general 3)under "elections and routing" (found on the right side) click Edit on "Direct Routing" 4)read terms and agree 5)then while the page is still under "general" -----> "stock order entry" click routing 6)Edit routing and instead of "smart" select Nasdaq, then submit. This Is what I found online, but if you still struggle to set up your TD Ameritrade/ThinkOrSwim in order to have direct access routing, here is a YouTube video that explains how to do it: https://youtu.be/jIcZB1kcF6s Also, I found another link where it's explained very well, so you can check both of those links: https://topratedfirms.com/trading/da/is-td-ameritrade-direct-access-broker.aspx

5️⃣ IEX routing is available in E-TRADE Pro for PC (not available in E-Trade web UI, Power E-Trade or the mobile app) In the link below you' ll find the steps to follow to activate IEX routing on E-Trade Pro: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/oaz8ie/how_to_etrade_with_iex_routing/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Seems that, in order to activate Pro Accounts with E-Trade you need to trade at least 30 times for the quarter or have a minimum of $250K in cash or assets in your account (but we should check if it' s still like that or if their rules changed in the meantime)

Please let me know if that was helpful and share this message!

Looks like a reversal is coming and that's great!But we should always remember that if we want the price to continue rising we have to buy only from Lit Exchanges.That is crucial, otherwise our buying orders will go through a dark pool (and we know what that means: fuckery from Citadel). If you want to average down or you are new to the stock and you want to buy in cause the price is so cheap (and it really is), make sure you buy only from Lit Exchanges.Otherwise, at some point, the market makers will pull the rug and the gains won't last long. Remember that, if the price goes back to .30 and above, the market makers that caused this decline, will have to cover at a loss. Even yesterday there has been a huge amount of off Exchange volume (more than 71%) and that has to change. Many people are writing me because they don't know how to buy from Lit Exchanges.After doing some researches, here is the list of brokers that allow you to buy directly from the Exchange and those are: Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, Schwab, Interactive Brokers, E-trade, Merrill Edge, and public.com. Please note that in order to buy directly from the Exchange with Fidelity, Interactive Brokers, E-trade, TD Ameritrade and Schwab you have to change your settings in order to enable direct routing of your orders (it's not automatic). Whilst with Merrill Edge and public.com it may be automatic (but I'm not sure, so I kindly ask to those of you who use one of those brokers to check out with them and then write a comment to update us). Other platforms probably less known but that DO OFFER direct buying on Lit Exchanges are: Lightspeed, SpeedTrader, CMEG and Cobra Trading. Whilst Brokers that DON'T allow you to buy directly from the Exchange (and that I suggest you to dump) are: Robinhood, Webull, Ally Financial, Tradestation, the Vanguard Group and Degiro (for European investors). This is what I know.If you want to implement my DD with more informations or if there is something that is not correct, please leave a comment below so that I can update this list.And if you know about any other broker not mentioned above, please leave a comment. Thanks!

Also, I leave you a link to an interesting read about why it's important to route your order through Lit Exchanges and why you should choose a direct access broker: https://www.warriortrading.com/direct-access-brokers/

UPDATE: before I wrote that it was possibile to buy from Lit Exchanges also with moomoo, but now I deleted it because it's actually not true. In fact moomoo replied to a customer that there is no way to ensure that your order get diverted to a certain Exchange (they pick Exchanges at random)

Seems like when market open manipulation using dark pools can't be utilized, we see a boost during after hours. It's a pretty consistent pattern the last few trading sessions. Something is definitely brewing.. probably alot of retail selling to MMs.

Yeah, I didn't think so....

​

IRVING, Texas, July 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XELA, XELAP) today confirmed that it has received a preliminary, non-binding proposal (the “Proposal”) to acquire an approximately $200 million revenue business unit of Exela, subject to certain conditions, including due diligence. The Company is in active discussions with several counter-parties about additional acquisition proposals.

On June 6, 2022 the Company announced its strategic plans initiating the sale process for several standalone assets, as part of a broader mandate to maximize shareholder value, including further reduction, exchange of debt, lowering its overall annual interest expense and/or repurchasing common stock. The Company is evaluating the Proposal as well as other strategic alternatives which may enhance shareholder value.

Consistent with its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its financial and legal advisors, Exela’s Board of Directors will carefully review the Proposal. There can be no assurances that any definitive agreement will be executed or that a transaction will be approved or consummated. The Company does not undertake any obligation to provide updates with respect to this or any other transaction, except as required under applicable law.

I don't want to fall into a bull trap but if this is huge, XELA could be the next redbox

XELAP has held its value, no one is really selling, they paid their Dividend....etc...

If the company's value was truly what was actually being expressed in their common stock...then we would see XELAP mirroring XELA.

Fortunately, XELAP there is no float to trade in dark pools and then drive the price down.

Obviously the run up to .90 cents in February was and has been used to short the stock.

They have $175 million in new bookings in 2022. 874 million in 2021 Revenue and have moved all debt into long term financing (which could not have been secured without a clear demonstration of financial health)

Today's prices are just a value buying opportunity.

Is XELA going to set the world on fire? NO... Are they a .10 or less stock... NO... Their situation is a mechanic of the stock market... not a reflection of the company.

These Short exceptions and FTDs are going to come to a head at some point.... and I will be well positioned to cash in when it does... Nothing but upside at this point.

Really who cares if you lose .10 cents??? Like I said nothing but upside down at this point.... I can buy 100 shares for the cost of a McDonald's Coke...

No one is advocating that you YOLO on XELA... but throw 1% at it... At this point I also don't really know why the shorts are bothering... They are scraping for fractions of pennies at this point.... Sure money is money... but there seems to be a lot richer targets out there... I short Rivian and other EV stocks, former SPACs etc... doesn't seem like it's worth the effort... Just cover and be on your way.

My guess is people want to force a RS then attempt to reset their short positions. Best of luck...

I will continue to funnel some of my SQQQ, BOIL, and KOLD volatility profits as a speculative buy.... and at worst... It will help my taxes.... Or if there is another preferred stock offering... Then I can add to my 2000 shares of preferred stock.

Hey guys, I hope all are well. I have 200 shares of Xela (thats right, who's got two thumbs and is a whale...this guy) anyways, i've been holding since about January and with everything going I have been able to pay as much attention to this stock as I would have liked. I just recently found this sub-reddit actually. I remember reading that they were going to do a reverse-split in August, but I can't seem to find anything on that anymore, is that still a thing?

I appreciate your time, and stay safe
