Hawkeye Systems, Inc. (OTC-HWKE) An AI Tech Play That’s Flying Under The Radar
Hawkeye Systems, Inc. (OTC-HWKE) has everything we look for in a long term trade and could be a solid winner for savvy traders.
Occasionally, a play with massive potential manages to fly under the radar for weeks before a chance inquiry gives it the coverage that it deserves.
I believe that we’ve found one such play, which is great because now we get to talk about it before anyone else…
While it’s not particularly surprising that investors have missed out on this play since the company has only been publicly trading for about a month, but this company isn’t messing around and what it’s done in those thirty days has been nothing short of impressive.
First they announced the acquisition of an award-winning tech provider, then they announced that they had entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the Department of Defense (DOD), and if that wasn’t enough, the company that they acquired announced that it had installed it’s award-winning tech for Sony Innovation Studios, Inc., a division of Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE). More on all of this in a bit.
We believe that early investors are really missing out on getting in at the ground floor level of this potential major opportunity as the company is a patent play that’s positioned itself on the cutting edge of artificial intelligence and 4D video / holographic imaging systems offering them near first mover status in what’s being called the fourth industrial revolution of embedded technology, the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, and artificial intelligence (AI).
The company’s name is Hawkeye Systems, Inc. and it’s trading under the ticker HWKE.
Trading at $2.81, Hawkeye Systems, Inc. is an American next generation imaging technology company. It was founded by former members of the US Military who joined forces with Hollywood film production veterans to develop professional and military grade imaging products and services to assist with intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

Our publication of the Information is known as a “Campaign”. This information may be sent to potential investors at different times that are minutes, hours, days or even weeks apart. Typically, the trading volume and price of a Profiled Issuer’s securities increases after the information is provided to the first group of investors.

Hawkeye Systems, Inc. is a penny stock that was illiquid (little to no trading volume) prior to our Campaign, and therefore these securities are subject to wide fluctuations in trading price and volume. During the Campaign the trading volume and price of the securities of each Profile Issuer will likely increase significantly because of the media exposure.

The securities may be subject to extreme volume and price volatility, especially during the Campaigns. Favorable past performance of a Profiled Issuer does not guarantee future results.

These third party service providers are likely compensated for providing positive information about the Issuer and may fail to disclose their compensation to you.If a Profiled Issuer is a SEC reporting company, it could be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports), or if it is an OTC Markets Pink Sheet quoted company, it may be delinquent in its Pink Sheet reporting obligations, which may result in OTC Markets posting a negative legend pertaining to the Profiled Issuer at www.otcmarkets.com, as follows: (i) “Limited Information” for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the Pink Sheets; (ii) “No Information,” which characterizes companies that are unable or unwilling to provide any disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the Pink Sheets; and (iii) “Caveat Emptor,” signifying buyers should be aware that there is a public interest concern associated with a company’s illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company’s fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions.If the Information states that a Profiled Issuer’s securities are consistent with the future economic trends or even if your independent research indicates that, you should be aware that economic trends have their own limitations, including: (a) that economic trends or predictions may be speculative; (b) consumers, producers, investors, borrowers, lenders and/or government may react in unforeseen ways and be affected by behavioral biases that we are unable to predict; (c) human and social factors may outweigh future economic trends that we state may or will occur; (d) clear cut economic predictions have their limitations in that they do not account for the fundamental uncertainty in economic life, as well as ordinary life; (e) economic trends may be disrupted by sudden jumps, disruptions or other factors that are not accounted for in economic trends analysis; in other words, past or present data predicting future economic trends may become irrelevant in light of new circumstances and situations in which uncertainty becomes reality rather than predicted economic outcome; or (f) if the trend predicted involves a single result, it ignores other scenarios that may be crucial to make a decision in the event of unknown contingencies.The Information is presented only as a brief snapshot of the Profiled Issuer and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for you to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Issuer and its securities.

Slack Technologies (NYSE:WORK) Gains Momentum After A Bullish Barron’s Article
On September 30, Slack Technologies Inc. (NYSE:WORK) shares surged 9% after a bullish publication in Barron’s. The publication suggested that the recent weakness of Slack’s stock could chance for investors to buy-in.
Shares jump following bullish publication
In recent months most newly public technology companies have lagged. Investors have growingly been having concerns regarding growth stocks without a definitive path to becoming profitable. According to Barron’s, Slack Technology is unfairly being considered among the growth stocks. The publication quotes some bullish Wall Street market analysts and hedge fund executives pointing to solid engagement as well as the best-in-class partnership platform while at the same time talking down competitive concerns regarding Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ: MSFT).
Bhavan Suri of William Blair indicated that Microsoft seems to be a fairly incomplete product set relative to Slack in form of functionality. He adds that integrations are significantly minimal. Suri started covering Slack during the summer and gave the stock a buy rating. He was encouraged by the fact that the company already had 645 paying clients generating more than $100,000 each in revenue per year.
Slack Tech went public through a direct listing
Slack Technologies is relatively solid when it comes to its financial position compared to most of its rivals. The company has a strong balance sheet with cash of around $800 million.Slack Tech Chief Executive Officer Stewart Butterfield indicated that the amount of cash they have was the main reason they decided to go public.
The company went public through a direct listing rather than having to go the traditional IPO route. The CEO said that the company didn’t want to raise capital because they already were in a strong financial position and also they were not willing to dilute current shareholders.
Since the company went public its stock has been declining for months and on Friday it closed 43% down from its first trade in June. According to Barron’s publication, the selling activity might be a result of existing stockholders trying to cash out.
