at-the-market offering for up to $35,000,000On January 25, 2021, IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) launched an at-the-market offering (the “Offering”) for up to $35,000,000 worth of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pursuant to an at the market (ATM) Sales Agreement, dated January 25, 2021, by and between the Company and National Securities Corporation. A copy of the ATM Sales Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Company has 54,526,583 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 25, 2021.
Secondary stock offerings normally aren't a reason for shareholders to celebrate, but investors seem to see this one as a smart way for IZEA to raise cash it can use to fund additional growth efforts, as well as a validation of the stock's recent surge. The sale would dilute current shareholders by about 10%.
In 2019, the company's revenue declined 6% to $19 million and it lost $7.3 million.
If new products like Shake and its BrandGraph intelligence platform take off, the stock should have more room to run.

GME Record Surge Gives Win to Reddit Army in Citron ClashGameStop Record Surge Gives Win to Reddit Army in Citron Clash
In the battle between short-seller Citron Research and an army of Reddit-charged day traders, GameStop Corp.’s seemingly endless rally to an all-time high has given the stock’s bulls a win, though not without controversy.
GameStop’s 75% gain through Friday comes after it more than doubled the week before and marks the most volatile 10-day period on record, data compiled by Bloomberg show. The stock was halted at least four times in New York as it surged as much as 79% to $76.76 as Reddit users ran wild. It was last 44% higher after trading resumed.
At one point, the video-game retailer was the most actively traded U.S. company with a market value above $200 million, data compiled by Bloomberg show, as millions of shares exchanged hands every few minutes.
GameStop representatives didn’t return an email seeking comment.
Reddit users continued to pump up their bets with one user saying they relied on it to pay their student loans.
GameStop’s parabolic rise, which has come amid steady and elevated short interest and increasing volume, has showcased the divide between retail bulls and bears betting on a quick return to reality.
GameStop became a “cult stock because of Ryan Cohen’s success with Chewy” and retail investors “appear confident that he can implement omnichannel initiatives that will materially grow their earnings,” Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter said in an email.
For the company to be worth $50 a share it would have to quickly double their growth, Pachter, who has a $16 price target which is the second highest among analyst tracked by Bloomberg, continued. In order to give GameStop credit for higher earnings power, Pachter, who rates the stock at neutral, wants to see Cohen’s strategy.
A backlash against Citron by some vocal Reddit users over its views on GameStop came to a head on Friday when the short seller said it will stop commenting on the stock following the actions of “an angry mob.”
“We are investors who put safety and family first and when we believe this has been compromised, it is our duty to walk away from a stock,” Citron managing partner Andrew Left wrote in a Friday letter.
The statement came a day after Left said in a YouTube video that he’d “never seen such an exchange of ideas of people so angry about someone joining the other side of a trade,” referring in part to Reddit users who have been particularly vocal on the social media site in seeking to promote their positive opinions on the video-game retailer’s stock.
GameStop fans clashed with Citron after the short seller critiqued shares in a tweet on Tuesday and made plans for a Twitter Inc. livestream the following day. The event was initially pushed back for the inauguration of President Joe Biden and then again on Thursday due to attempts to hack the short-seller’s Twitter account.
credited the bulk of last week’s gains to a short squeeze after activist investor and Chewy Inc. co-founder Ryan Cohen was added to GameStop’s board.
Bearish bets have remained steady with 140% of available GameStop shares currently sold short, according to data compiled by S3 Partners. Bears have seen more than $1.74 billion mark-to-market losses this year, according to the financial analytics firm.
“While older existing shorts have been covering some of their positions due to a profit-loss based short squeeze, there is a queue of new short sellers wanting to get short exposure in GME after its recent run-up,” Ihor Dusaniwsky, S3’s managing director of predictive analytics, said by email.

Twitter looking to resume the uptrendIn my previous post, I've mentioned that there is a correction coming for Twitter and that was catalyzed after the social platform banned Trump's account.
Price has landed perfectly on the uptrend major support and formed yesterday a nicely looking pinbar.
RIS has turned from oversold zone and if you are more aggressive current price is tempting enough to enter long. I would wait for the additional confirmation from MACD. My long-term target is $58 if bullish conditions are confirmed.
Keep eyes on Boeing - a lot of room for a promising recoveryIt took some time for Boeing to break out of its bullish wedge, but the support held well, and we see some more stubborn attempts from buyers to push the price up.
RSI is rising above 50, MACD has crossed over and the histogram is moving slowly towards positive territory. Earnings are after 7 days. so keep that in mind. An impulse above $216 will confirm the continuation of the bullish trend. My long term target is $250.
What's in for Bank of America after the earnings report?Today we saw the earnings report for Bank of America and it did not meet the investor's expectations. So far the earnings season (for the banks) starts a bit off. The EPS came above expectations at 0.59 versus 0.54 expected. Revenue though came in with a miss - 20.1B against 20.56B expected. The main cause for the miss cited is the COVID-19 pandemic.
RSI is already crossing from overbought territory, though MACD's crossing is lagging. The histogram is showing a divergence with the price which is in line with RSI's early divergence with the price.
My expectations are for a drop towards the trend line support at the $31.35 zone. A breach there may lead to a potential drop towards $30.61 and by this jeopardizing the uptrend.
