MVIS boom incoming?Not a financial advisor. MVIS had a historic run and made a lot of news headlines last year. We appear to have seen the bottom and look for a 3 white soldier reversal to confirm the strength upward. This was one of the best plays for volatility in the market with the price swings. Also had major booms in the market seeing major price increases. This is certainly one to keep an eye on in Feb. You may never see these price levels ever again. All indicators are curling up and the Parabolic Sar has flipped bullish. This is one of my personal favorites due to its history of major price spikes. Definitely watchlist worthy. Lidar, Augmented reality plenty of eyes will be watching this one closely. I anticipate this to be a headliner again for 2022. This should be back up to $8 in a matter of weeks.

A LONG ROAD ahead for Snapchat's Visual OS ambitionsThis company, whose leadership has dubbed it a "Camera Company" is an experiment in platform making. Prepare for a long haul - it won't be easy. If they make this work, if it survives and matures as a business, then you have a platform for the 2020s/30s. I think the near-term metrics and economics are FUGLY as all but I think this as a speculation is in whether a visual OS can be designed and deployed. Right now all the "fellow kids" are talking with each other this platform. Will the demographic swarm move on to new toys which ride up the utility curve and become work and life tools? Maybe. Or will this both ride up the utility curve and mature into a fully functional service? We're fully a generation plus into the browser era when Javascript was banged out in 10 days (tied nominally to Java for recognition) for Netscape and a monochrome landscape was given color and detail for artisans as intended by Marc Andreessen. Will we see an experiment in moving a 2 dimensional experience into a fully articulated 3 dimensional virtual and augmented world building? Will the landscape change again? The company's June announcements hint at management's intentions: World Building. I think an instructive and cautionary way to look at any snap chart or story is to look at Amazon's long 20+ year journey. I love those insane statements of "10,000 invested at this date would be worth... XXX dollars today..." easy to say in retrospect but it was decades of doubt and pain along the way if you paid too much attention from day to day. Perhaps it takes a time frame that long and patience which attention-challenged audiences will need to embrace a controlled risk experiment in investing. SHORT TERM watch out, lots of BACKING and filling from that gap up during it's recent blast off from single digits (2nd time since late 2019 when it was trading for a 4 handle and change!) I will not trade it as a trend follower but I will accumulate it and see what happens in 18+ months and if they screw it up, hold it again for another 18months. It's going to be a long painful road ahead.

ATVI: Rounded Bottom with Dark Pools WaitingActivision Blizzard Co is developing what will become an intermediate-term rounded bottom formation, aka bowl bottom. It is about 25% to completion. Large-lot indicators have not formed a shift of sentiment pattern yet, as smaller funds’ VWAP orders continue to trigger in capitulation mode. The smaller funds are giving up on ATVI as it bottoms. The Dark Pools will wait to see if the stock will drop further due to the smaller funds dumping before they decide where to set their TWAP orders. ATVI is a gaming company that is gearing up for Augmented Reality.

VUZI - Stunna Shades of the FutureSeems like VUZI is on a bull run, solidified by the successful completion and pass of the FCC emissions requirements for it's Blade Smart Glasses on July 6th. It's started it's volume manufacturing, and will probably start its sales campaign soon. A company like this can easily be acquired by Google, or another huge tech company. "Volume manufacturing of the Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses from our West Henrietta, NY facility has commenced. With FCC and EU certifications processes now complete we can commence broad shipping of our Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses to the application and enterprise Vuzix Blade Edge developer communities located within the USA, Canada and Europe," said Paul Travers, President and Chief Executive Officer at Vuzix. There seems to be good support in the $5.50 range and resistance in the $9.00-$9.50 range. Anything under $6.50 might be a good buy, but if you can pick up this stock at sub $5.50, that would be ideal. HOLD for now- let's see what happens when it gets to $8.25 Happy Trading!

Strategy Shift, Long SNAP in 2018; Stable IPO $20-24 RangeSnapchat is an Advertising Platform that leverages camera hardware using AR and Geo Location in order to create small, bite sized entertainment experiences that become cyclical and habitual for users. That they called themselves a camera company in 2017 was ludicrous and out of line. The new design leans heavily towards this model and focuses more on AR (which they should given that the iPhone X is starting to propagate a paradigm shift in personal connectivity to hardware and environment) to maximize the camera hardware via software. They have a really great auction system in place and there's a shift internally with empowering the community (finally) that will eventually start to bear fruit if they give these new initiatives proper love and attention. It's a huge pivot, but one that I think they're starting to understand. Being able to let community and companies directly control exposure in order to generate revenue is a total win, especially with the format that Snapchat uses. They're letting companies sponsor promoted stories, which I feel trends towards this new operational structure. They just have to continue to execute well and the stock will start to pop it's way back up. The advertising side of the business is growing exceedingly well and is positioning itself in the best way possible for Snap to leverage it into the future. User base is also increasing, along with the new Lens Studio program, so overall the story for Snapchat is positive (minus all the people fighting the redesign - as usual). I think an accumulation period in April should be watched for before the next earnings call. We're heading into Spring Break, music festival season, baseball and the Spring/Summer momentum shift. Market conditions remaining positive, next EC could be another good trend upwards.

$PLFX beyond TA, notes from the June 22nd Shareholder CCBLUF: PLFX will be making some huge PR notification in July as Jordan Fiksenbaum establishes his position as the CEO and Pulse Evolution takes on Las Vegas with its holographic live performances. Expect move up to QB then big boards. PLFX CC June 22, 2017 Caveat – finances, expenses cab be different when audited – GAAP or non—GAAP Revenue activity has commenced! Alpha Test of Michael Jackson showed, the process needed better technology. Much better today than in 2014. We are among global leaders in this technology. Why the CC now? We feel we are at the Inflection Point. From a Start-up to a Global Entertainment Company. From a developer to a monetizer of our technology. The hire of Jordan NOW confirms the point of inflection has arrived. Working together with AR, VR and AI. PLFX entertainment applications include: On stage ( concert tours / theatrical exhibitions) Games VR Rev’s will come in bunches. Series of announcements coming in coming quarter. Our raising of financials has been successful. Since 2014 about $40 mil. Mostly from shareholders – including favourable shareholder debt. Cash-bur rate has been reduced. Now, ready to start productions w/repeatable revenues in mind. July 1 to Sept. 30, 2016 $3.5 mil deficit and 2 mil/mo. Cash burn rate. 2nt Quarter 2017: 1.8 mil cash receipts. 1.25 mil were producer fees, a very efficient way of sharing fees and responsibilities with co-producers, who bring a great deal of experience in live entertainment. $400k in animation, Fantasy Popstars in Korea. Our first Animation. $270k from living celebrity – can’t mention name, but TOP in the world today – eager to have his “digital likeness” established by us. No rev. in current quarter – still more efficient cash deficit. Focus on next month. (Mentioned here Pulse Biologic, a Subsidiary) Expecting small profit starting July, which will help with overhead. Our issue is sustainability and monetization of our technology. Michael Jackson (Estate) Production activity was visible in 2017. We have a powerful, long-term relationship with them re: digital rights. The estate has the option to buy the digital rights in the future. MJ = Global Distribution. Elvis is still in negotiations. Working on contracts – hoping it will be similar to MJ Estate, with fixed revenue sharing, instead of % of rev’s. Response to questions about ABBA – Let Simon Fuller build that property. PLFX still has proprietary rights, but traditionally (as we did with Cameron during film Titanic), Tech. Co.’s stay in background and do not get ahead of celebrities. We defer to Fuller and Universal Co. re: announcements. Relationship still important. Large scale celebrity-based production (July) will be global ( again the inflection point). In House Production, goal is to push the evolution of our Technology. Management – we have become active in recruiting top talent- Jordan had over $5 bil. in sales – the fact that he is joining us NOW underlines the inflection point. HE was a long-time Non-Fiduciary Board of Advisors Member – now becoming active. He will have a broad mandate, stressing timeliness of reports. Our principle currency will be the US Market. Since Jan. 2015, focused on Big Productions. Had disadvantages – lots of work, development – didn’t always lead to delivery of product. Co-production helps to eliminate these disadvantages. PLFX will have multiple “small pieces” of many pies. (Compare to franchising?) Move up to QB next goal, then onward after that. Up till now, we have been rather quiet, but now it’s time to talk. Shareholders will be hearing from us (Jordan) over the next weeks. Debt is almost 100% shareholder. 8.9 million, of which 2.5 presently converting at $1. PLFX has $600l in secured debt.

PLFX Sharehold Webcast at 11AM ESTLooks like the prices of $PLFX jumped up over the middle bollie and the PSAR is in support of a run in anticipation for the Shareholder webcast this morning. They've been very quiet for a long time, lets see what they've been keeping quiet about. Shareholder Webcast Call Details – Thursday, June 22, 2017 at 11:00am ET: Webcast Link: www.investor news.morningstar.com 6-16-17 1:15 PM EDT | Email Article JUPITER, FL and SAN RAFAEL, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 16, 2017 / Pulse Evolution Corporation (the "Company" or "Pulse Evolution") (OTC PINK: PLFX), a recognized pioneer and leading developer of hyper-realistic digital humans, today announced that the Company will host a shareholder webcast call on Thursday, June 22, 2017 at 11:00am ET, hosted by John Textor, Pulse Evolution's Executive Chairman, who intends to discuss the following topics: - Financial Highlights: The Company will discuss the unaudited financial highlights of fiscal 2016, ended June 30, 2016, and the first two fiscal quarters of fiscal year 2017, including an important 'first revenue' milestone achieved in the quarter ended December 31, 2016. Please see note below regarding unaudited financial information. Such revenues represent the first revenues realized by the Company, since its marketing launch of Virtual Michael Jackson at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards. While the Company's revenue model remains inconsistent, the 2nd fiscal quarter revenues represent an important milestone in the transformation of the Company from a technology development model to a rights exploitation and producer model. The Company will discuss in detail its plan to continue this transformation, while reporting on projects in development through Pulse Evolution's previously announced strategic entertainment partnerships. - Project Update and Revenue Outlook: Management will report on projects and shows in development through Pulse Evolution's previously announced strategic entertainment partnerships, including a discussion of celebrity estate relationships, as well as non-theatrical projects in development. - Management and Leadership Initiatives: The Company has been active in the recruitment of senior leadership candidates and prospective board members to strengthen our team in advance of key projects and corporate initiatives, including having been involved in negotiations with members of our Advisory Board to assume greater leadership roles in the Company and in connection with specific productions. The Company will provide a comprehensive update of this process and the expected timing of the addition of key hires. - Business Model: The Company will discuss plans to become more efficient in its use of human capital and financial capital in its pursuit of the highest and best uses of its proprietary technology and its technical and creative know-how. This represents a change in strategy from the direct development of specific entertainment projects, which take significant time and expense to plan and launch, to the accumulation of rights contracts, made possible by the Company's technology leadership, which have the potential to produce more consistent revenues in the near-term and more value in the long-term. - Strategic Review of Up-listing Alternatives: The Company will discuss its ongoing review of stock listing alternatives and report its priority intention to pursue an up-listing via the United States exchange markets, while still evaluating international opportunities. - Capital Resources & Funding Strategy: The Company intends to review past methods of raising capital, as well as strategies going forward. The Company is currently reviewing several offers, that are either strategic in nature or that relate to specific productions. The shareholder call will include a discussion of these options.
