u/Buy-NVDA

we placed 5th out of 45 people, beat every modern M car and supra there! Also beat a c8 but the another c8 had me by .9. My best time was a 55.391 doing track cross on the patriot course, nothing crazy, but I'm happy for my first track day with her. It was within a second of the top cars, aside from a built Type R on slicks, absolutely demolished all of us, though, with a 52.5. This video was unfortunately not my best lap and was one of my first, still learning the track. You can definitely hear the street tires fighting for their life.

I accepted the quote! Thank you to everyone who helped give advice for and against. I slept on it and I know I will love it! Shop says they are about 4 weeks out so Its now a waiting game.

So drive a c6 grand sport automatic with 27000 miles and absolutely love her I think she's the most beautiful car and enjoy driving her as my daily. I'm considering doing a ton of mods mainly for reliability but also for a power boost, this is the list of stuff the shop would be doing it will cost me 16k with labor. My fear is that I know it won't add 16k in value to the car and I have trouble throwing away so much money even though I know I will love it. Has anyone done something similar and can you share how it has been for you? Or have any other recommendations? I bought it for 36k so I will be in it for 52k which seems insane but maybe I'm just being dramatic. She is also mechanically perfect and I've never had a single issue with her in the 6k miles I have done sense buying. Any advice is appreciated here is a list of all the mods/maintenance that the shop would be doing.

I’m just college student who has spent more time reading biotech clinical trial protocols than studying for my exams. I’m $30k+ deep into this. I am a regard, and this is a casino. And yeah this is written by ai but its my research im lazy and not getting paid to write this sue me.

The TL;DR
Viridian Therapeutics ($VRDN) just dropped god-tier Phase 3 data (REVEAL-2), gap-up pumped the stock, and then immediately "upsized" a capital raise to build a $1.1 BILLION liquid to push their new drug. The banks just bought millions of shares at $17.00 and cant sell until $26. Right now, the stock is trading at $16.89. You can literally buy the dip cheaper than the billionaires did.
1. The Data:
Last week, VRDN released results for their TED drug (Chronic Thyroid Eye Disease).
• The Result: p < 0.0001. They didn't just beat the placebo; they vaporized it.
• The Competition: They are coming for Amgen’s Tepezza (a multi-billion dollar monopoly). VRDN’s drug is safer, has way fewer side effects (no hearing loss), and is building an at-home injector so patients don't have to sit in a hospital chair for 4 hours.
• The Outcome: This is "Best-in-Class" medicine. Period.
2. The "Institutional Floor" (Buying Below the Banks)
• The Offering: They just closed an upsized $350 MILLION raise today.
• The Price: The institutions (the people who actually know how to read balance sheets) just agreed to buy at $17.00.
• The Arbitrage: We are currently trading BELOW the offering price. Usually, retail is the "exit liquidity" for the banks. This time, the banks are the floor for us.
• The Convertible Clue: They issued notes with a conversion price of $24.65. The banks are literally betting $225M that this stock hits $25+ in the near future.
3. The Catalyst: JUNE 30 MOONSHOT 🌙
The REVEAL-2 data was just the appetizer. The real play is the June 30 PDUFA date for their lead drug, Veligrotug.
• Priority Review: The FDA is fast-tracking this.
• The Setup: With $1.1B in cash, VRDN is "uncrashable." They are fully funded for a global launch. If the FDA says "Yes" on June 30, this stock doesn't just go to $20; it hits the analyst targets of $34.00+.
