Share of WNDW (OTCMKTS:WNDW) SolarWindows Technologies have seen 25% spike over last few trading sessions, from $3.60 to $4.80. On 8/29/17 WNDW released news that the company will go into production of its Electricity-Generating Glass with an award winning fabricator, Los Angeles-based Triview Glass Industries, LLC.

“The prospect of generating electricity on commercial buildings, which consume nearly 40% of all electricity generated in the US, is made possible when transparent SolarWindow™ electricity-generating liquid coatings are applied to glass surfaces.

As the company’s select regional fabricator in North America, Triview Glass will work to fabricate specific SolarWindow™ electricity-generating glass products at commercial scale by integrating SolarWindow™ technologies into its manufacturing processes.

Commercial buildings are ideal customers for electricity-generating windows, which could reduce electricity demand by 30%-50% and provide a one-year financial payback, according to independently-validated engineering modeling for a 50-story building. ”

“We’ve long awaited the opportunity to integrate SolarWindow™ technologies into commercial scale production, and I believe that our agreement with Triview puts us well on that path,” explained SolarWindow President and CEO, Mr. John A. Conklin.

Business Description

SolarWindow Technologies, Inc., publicly traded under the symbol WNDW, is focused on the research, development and eventual commercialization of the first-of-its-kind see-through SolarWindow technology, capable of generating electricity on glass windows and flexible plastics.

Technology

SolarWindow™ achieves payback within one year, according to first-ever independently validated financial modeling results.

To produce the equivalent amount of energy with conventional solar systems would require at least 5-11 years for payback and at least 10-12 acres of valuable urban land.

Unlike the many acres of expensive downtown real estate required for solar array fields, SolarWindow™ systems can be installed on the readily-available vast window glass surfaces on tall towers and skyscrapers.

SolarWindow™ can be applied to all four sides of tall towers, generating electricity using natural, shaded, and even artificial light. Conventional solar simply does not work in shaded areas or perform under artificial light.

The result?  SolarWindow™ can outperform today’s solar by as much as 50-fold when installed on a 50 story building, according to independently validated power production calculations.

Our Opinion

We like everything about WNDW and its electricity-generating window technology. We believe that WNDW is a safe play and the future will bring many happy investors.

ESPR Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. Consolidation (NASDAQ:ESPR)

Aug 29, 2017

(NASDAQ:ESPR) Esperion Therapeutics Inc

 

(NASDAQ:ESPR) Esperion Therapeutics, Inc. peaked out and closed at $48.90, way up from about $10 where it sat last August, but way below its all-time high of $107.51 in spring 2015. Still, ESPR has been on a good run since about January, but especially since June, probably based on positive news coming out on various stages of ongoing clinical trials. ESPR is a pharmaceutical company based in Ann Arbor, MI and dedicated pretty much exclusively to developing non-statin LDL cholesterol drugs with safer profiles and fewer side effects than the statins currently on the market.

espr stock

THE COMPANY
ESPR Esperion Therapeutics Inc. has an interesting history, having been acquired by Phizer in 2004 for $1.3Bn in order to get sole possession of an experimental statin called ETC-216 and prevent their competitors from obtaining it. Esperion was founded by Dr. Roger Newton, the man responsible for co-discovering the Lipitor molecule, a statin drug and the most prescribed medication in the history of pharmaceuticals. Phizer eventually killed off the research and ESPR was re-acquired by Dr. Newton after he raised the capital to buy the rights to the name and to their other experimental compound, ETC-1002, which is also a novel cholesterol treatment based on the biological properties of bempedoic acid, which is converted to ETC-1002-CoA in the human liver and, through a sequence of reactions, results in the liver’s removal of LDL-C from the blood.

ESPR has pushed bempedoic acid in 18 completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical studies and it is currently being evaluated in four other Phase 3 LDL efficacy and safety studies, along with one cardiovascular outcomes trial. Their pipeline consists solely of Bempedoic Acid (once daily pill) and a combination of Bempedoic Acid and Ezetimibe (once daily pill) which itself just began Phase 3 trials.

ESPR stock price has fluctuated greatly in the past 52-week period with a range of $9.40 to $57.38 and earlier in August they announced an underwritten offering of 3,100,000 shares to the public at $49.00 per with the goal of continuing to finance the previously mentioned clinical trials for the two drugs in their pipeline. There’s lots of detailed technical information out there on these trials, but suffice it to say that if any one or a combination of them are unqualified successes, they could be looking at blockbuster status on par with or even bigger than Lipitor and of course a huge uptick in value. Results are somewhat far off, however, with expected announcements after the completion of the studies in Q2 and Q3 2018 and various bridging studies yet to begin. Of note, ESPR’s R&D budget for the first six months of 2017 was $74.1M compared to $19.5M for the same period in 2016.

We think this makes ESPR an intriguing investment. With the FDA having approved an abbreviated regulatory pathway to the bempedoic acid/ezetimibe combination, and a looming New Drug Application anticipated after the studies are concluded in 2018, this stock may take a slight dive in the next few weeks, but rally significantly toward its $107.51 all-time high by the end of 2018.

Why is MGTI Continuing to Climb (OTCMKTS:MGTI)

Aug 22, 2017

There’s been a lot of news and almost as much movement with MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (OTCMKTS:MGTI) over the past month. First off, the price has almost tripled from where it sat in May ($0.62 on May 15) to $2.35 where it closed on August 18th. The other news is that MGTI just announced yesterday (August 17) that they have obtained and are in the process of deploying 650 state of the art Bitcoin mining rigs which will be located at a new multi-Megawatt facility in the state of Washington. They have said that the new miners will be fully operational within the next two-weeks.

Some background:

Bitcoin’s value rested at about $580 at this time last year (August 2016) just a few months after the latest Mt. Gox issues had hit the market. Anyone who follows Bitcoin knows that the cryptocurrency market is really hot and that Bitcoin currently is in the midst of a steady, high-delta year-long growth spurt which has its value near an all-time high of $4510 on Thursday, August 17 2017.

MGTI

As of Friday, August 18 Bitcoin is still hovering around $4170. This is important for a few reasons: 1) Bitcoin has experienced a strong valuation increase in the past one-month period, which equals its greatest increase since its spike earlier this year between March and June. In July it dived to $1938. 2) The recent split with Bitcoin Cash (called “BCash to avoid confusion) has indirectly caused Bitcoin, with its more established trading infrastructure and global exchange network, to experience increased blockchain activity, trading and value. See, there have been several clonecoins in the past, but BCash also copied the blockchain, meaning that at the time of the fork, every person who owned a Bitcoin also owned a unit of BCash. But there are issues with BCash, not the least of which is its inherent instability and slow blockchain transaction speeds. In addition, 76% of all bitcoin cash that may ever possibly exist, is already in the hands of miners and waiting to be sold. Any time an alternative currency is released, it bolster’s Bitcoin as the de-facto standard crypto, pushing up its price accordingly.

Back to MGTI – Before even announcing their new mining rigs, they surpassed the 1,000 Bitcoins mined milestone – which they have accomplished in less than one year. So we know they’re capable players in this market.

MGTI

They are also reportedly working on a new suite of cyber security technologies in collaboration with industry visionary John McAfee. They aim to develop and launch a series of protection tools for individuals (mobile) and corporations (WANs). MGTI has one such product undergoing beta testing – Sentinel, an enterprise class network intrusion detector – which they will likely release prior to the end of Q3, 2017.

Also, they have formed a JV with Nordic IT with the goal of bringing to market a new mobile phone platform with strong inherent protections for privacy and hacker-thwarting features. Various statements indicate that they intend for development and marketing for this platform to be complete by February of 2018.

The numbers: MGTI is sitting at a humble $2.35 as of close on August 18. This is down from a high of about $3.40 a year ago, but up from a long-term trough which had them languishing as low as $0.68 and volumes hovering in the low 1M range. Average volume is significantly lower at 728,062 which makes current volume of 1,831,411 all the more impressive. Market cap sits at 91.753M and both PE and EPS are negative at -2.07 and -1.14 respectively.

What does this mean? We’re not sure, but we don’t see another dropoff like last year’s. In fact it would be within reason to think that MGTI can ride the Bitcoin wave long enough to bring their other revenue generating strategies online and surpass their all-time high of $3.19 from August of last year. Definitely keep an eye on these guys – and on the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency news.

Here’s How And Why BREAKING DATA CORP COM NPV (OTCMKTS:BKDCF) Is Dominating The Online Media Space

Here’s How And Why BREAKING DATA CORP COM NPV (OTCMKTS:BKDCF) Is Dominating The Online Media Space

Jul 25, 2017

If a group of people was asked to name the publishing outlet that commands the biggest Facebook page (as defined by the largest number of individual members), chances are companies like BBC or Mashable would be top of the list. Narrow it down to sports media outlets and ESPN would be a top contender. Very few people, if anyone, would return an answer of GiveMeSport. With more than 24 million followers, however, and more than 26 million likes (as of late July 2017) the publisher outperforms all of the above-mentioned household names. For reference, ESPN has the next largest single sports publisher Facebook page with 17 million members.

Why is this important?

Facebook is quickly becoming one of the largest and most prominent news aggregators in the world. The social media platform is an integral part of any content publisher’s arsenal and its dominance in the content serving and sharing space is only expected to grow over the coming decade.

Companies are rushing to figure out how to take advantage of this trend and are having varying degrees of success to this aim. The above mentioned Mashable has created its own technology, called Velocity, that helps it to predict which stories are likely to go viral and when and, in doing so, allows it to capitalize on this early stage information.

Other companies haven’t had as much luck.

The ever changing algorithms that underpin Facebook’s content delivery platform make it difficult to find a sweet spot and even more difficult to maintain it.

So how has GiveMeSport managed to amass such a large following?

The answer is rooted in the company that’s behind the outlet – BREAKING DATA CORP COM NPV (OTCMKTS:BKDCF) (BKD.V) (CVE:BKD). Breaking Data acquired GiveMeSport back in December 2016 and has spent the last six months incorporating its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology into the media outlet’s day to day activity. With this acquisition, not only has Breaking Data given GiveMeSport a considerable technological advantage over its peers, it’s also served to offer public markets an exposure to the outlet’s success (which is what drew the attention of our analysts).

Breaking Data acquired GiveMeSport back in December 2016 and has spent the last six months incorporating its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI) technology into the media outlet’s day to day activity. With this acquisition, not only has Breaking Data given GiveMeSport a considerable technological advantage over its peers, it’s also served to offer public markets an exposure to the outlet’s success (which is what drew the attention of our analysts).

By way of a quick introduction to GiveMeSport and for those not familiar with the platform, it’s a news and entertainment outlet that – as implied by its name – focuses on serving sports related content to its users. The platform is fronted by a website, www.givemesport.com, and traffic is directed to the site through various social channels, including the above mentioned Facebook page.

While this is a website at core, the key thing to recognize here is that Facebook is the real growth driver for the outlet. Its founders are ex-Facebook strategists for various sports stars in the sports and entertainment space and the experience drawn from this side of the operation is what feeds into the company’s success i its Facebook endeavors today.

The way it works is as follows: Breaking Data and GiveMeSport have developed an AI technology that is able to track changes in Facebook’s content algorithm (not directly, but through the impact of the changes on the way the platform’s users interact with GiveMeSport’s content). When it detects changes, it automatically suggests strategic alterations that not only limit the impact of changes on the company’s content’s reach, but also seek to capitalize on it.

This AI approach is what sets GiveMeSport and Breaking Data aside from other publishers in this space. Whereas another publisher may take a 30% hit to its traffic on the back of a Facebook algorithm change and not be able to recover from the hit, GiveMeSport’s AI technology detects the change, mitigates its impact and alters the company’s strategy to try and take advantage of what is ultimately hurting its competitors.

All this is great but it means nothing to an investor in Breaking Data if it doesn’t translate to revenue – so how does Breaking Data generate sales on the traffic it’s attracting through its GiveMeSport platform?

Just as is the case with the vast majority of internet publishers, the answer is through online advertising.

With 32 million monthly visitors (this is a six month old metric but it’s the best we have available, chances are the figure is higher now) GiveMeSport has a very large audience to which it can serve advertisements of all shapes and sizes. Additionally, with a sporting focus, this audience is not only very large, it’s also very diverse. NFL, NHL and NBA fans comprise a large portion of the site’s users and each of these offers a different demographic and user type to the advertisers that want to gain exposure to a potential sales base through the platform.

To date, some of the biggest names in the world have advertised through the GiveMeSport platform, including Mercedes Benz, Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (ETR:BMW), American Express Company (NYSE:AXP) and Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA). These are billion dollar companies achieving quantifiable results through a relationship with GiveMeSport and, by proxy, Breaking Data.

So what’s next?

As per the latest available numbers, Breaking Data generated $1.08 million revenues for the twelve months to January 31, 2017. At that time, however, the GiveMeSport acquisition was less than one month old and the outlet’s advertising revenues were not included in the statement. As such, the next major catalyst for this stock is the reporting of financials (presumably, first quarter, but management hasn’t confirmed when it will start to include GiveMeSport in its audited numbers) that offer insight into just how much of a difference the acquisition makes to Breaking Data’s top and bottom lines.

Beyond that, the outcome of a recently announced marketing strategy that sees the company team up with NFL UK to develop an original content series themed around attempts at Guinness World Records is very much on the catalyst radar.

If this collaboration materializes as expected, it could expand the company’s reach to a television audience and – in turn – could dramatically increase its potential to command premium rates from advertisers looking to gain exposure to its userbase.

EYE’S ON TEMPUS APPLIED SOLUTION HOLDINGS (OTCMKTS:TMPS) TMPS

Jun 20, 2017

The share price of TEMPUS APPLIED SOLUTION HOLDINGS (OTCMKTS:TMPS) has soared over the last 5 days from a low of under $0.05 to a high of $0.50 on 6/19/17. Investors interest in TMPS is due to the recent purchase of the controlling portion by billionaire Johan Eliasch.

TMPS has had little attention from investors for quite some time, slowly falling from $10.00PPS in 2015 to under $0.03 just a week ago. In the last few days TMPS daily volume has tripled day after day and become one of the top trading stocks on the OTC.

(OTCMKTS:BTCS) BTCS Inc. & Blockchain

Jun 19, 2017

Introduction

BTCS Inc. ( BTCS ) is an early adopting online e-commerce marketplace where   merchandise is available for direct retail purchase using digital cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, litecoin, and dogecoin. The company name is an acronym of sorts for Blockchain Technology Consumer Solutions. It originally incorporated in Nevada in 2008 as Hotel Management Systems, Inc. and entered into an Exchange Agreement with BitcoinShop.us, LLC in 2014 formally changing its name to BTCS Inc. in July 2015.

Various summaries of the company found online indicate that the company’s business includes:

  • A cost-effective bitcoin mining services business, focuses on transaction verification
  • A beta e-commerce marketplace for the aforementioned cryptocurrencies
  • A bitcoin wallet based on a relatively well known technology and two-factor authentication for secure storage of bitcoin keys

According to various digital currency news sites and press releases dating back to 2014, BTCS claims to have invested in several technologies and firms including the GoCoin payment platform (which appears to be a solid player in the field), GEM (a Bitcoin API developer which is positioning itself as the go-to blockchain company in the healthcare and supply chain fields providing “bank grade” security) and what looks to have been an aborted attempt to merge with Spondoolies-Tech, Ltd. (a cryptocurrency mining equipment vendor) in 2015. Spondoolies shuttered operations in 2016 due to internal problems including inability to meet payroll.

Recent News and Trading:

Other recent occurrences include a default on a lease with CSC Leasing Company of numerous servers and power supplies resulting in the forfeiture of a $25,000 security deposit and, of course, the return of all of the equipment to CSC. At this point it is not clear whether this represents a drawback in BTCS’ ability to process e-commerce transactions or whether the capacity lost with the defaulted lease was made up for in other ways.

A visit to the website (shop.btcs.com) reveals a relatively random catalog of consumer items ostensibly available for purchase, but it appears that the bulk of products represented are merely placeholders, perhaps served up by external scrapers or scripts. In limited research, we were unable to find any items actually “in-stock” or “available” for purchase.

All time high was $1.37 per share in early February, 2014 with quite a fall off very shortly thereafter and a settling in at zero from June 1, 2016 to January of 2017, with a recent high of $0.18 in March, 2017. We’re seeing a lot of fluctuation within the $0.07 and $0.08 range over the past few days and since January of this year, daily volume has fluctuated from 120,000 all the way up to 30,000,000 and back down again, with volume for today at 3,389,582 at a closing price of $0.07. There was a 1/60 stock split in February of 2017.

Market Cap 3.06M
Beta 2.88

EPS (TTM) -5.22

Conclusion:

Cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, are almost certainly here to stay. Even as the central banks may be attempting to subvert these alternative currencies, the technology behind the blockchain is solid and there is a wide community of developers and entrepreneurs pushing the boundaries and penetrating new sectors of the traditional online economy. There will likely continue to be hacks and breaches such as the $460M disaster that struck Mt. Gox in 2014, partially leading to a temporary decline in Bitcoin’s value, but the technology is simply too firmly entrenched and it stands to reason that security will improve. BTCS was a relative “mover and shaker” in the bitcoin/cryptocurrency world just three short years ago, but with a dearth of recent information to go on, the fact that their flagship website does not appear to be functioning yet (granted, it bears the “beta” designator) and the fact that filings are not up to date or complete may indicate this is one to view with careful scrutiny.
