Where is the fish?
Did he get caught?
Perhaps someone caught him and ate him!!
He is missing all this fun.
New HOD at 6.7 cents!
Thanks Jim!
I hope so. Look forward to the rise!
6.7 cents!
We just hit 6.7 cents!
Other than the Money TV clip is there any other news out there?
This is great!
GLTA!
Up 7% since the buy yesterday. Not a bad return for 2 days.
GLTA!
Yip - That is what I heard him say.
Ditto! I am up over 120%. Thanks Gary!
Wow! I hope today is the day that we see the turn around. It has gone from red to green for me.
Happy I knew what I had and did not even consider selling.
GLTA!
Fidelity recognizes it but all the numbers are zeros. No bid not ask.
No current price. Everything is zero.
I was able to pick up 750 shares at $7.41 today. Then saw my investment go up by over 4%. I am very happy with this.
Here is the video of this type of house being printed.

This might have been recently posted here. I forget where I first saw it.
Thanks.
Until we can find a way to invest in them, looks like we will have to consider it as just an index.
Z,
I was on You Tube looking at another video that someone recommended and there it was staring me in the face. I saw Greg Morris' name and then watched it.
It is a very informative video for anyone who wants to know where the industry is going and explains the need for Sigma's solution.
I would recommend it for everyone who is a long term investor in Sigma Labs.
Here is the link again:
abrooklyn,
Thanks. Any idea how one goes about buying into this fund? I cannot find a ticker that comes back with a quote.
Gary,
I believe this is an 3D Index and not a 3D fund.
I tried to get a quote on it and it is not recognized.
Are these guys really into 3D printing now?
Please pass on any info that you might have.
I chose to buy a lot several months ago and then hold for a long time. I do not see myself buying any more.
I am holding out for at least $1.00 where I might sell 20% of my stock to cover my total investment. From there I will hold until I get a sense that it is time to sell. Hopefully this will be many years down the road.
I really hope that SIGMA does not fall prey to any company that wants to acquire them. They need to stick it out on their own and allow us to be rewarded for sticking with them. I can only hope they are as loyal to the shareholders as a lot of us have been to them.
How do you know there is steady insider buying?
While I hope there is, I am not aware of how to tell with this non reporting stock.

Jackle,
Are you concerned at all about SGLB's intellectual property (IP) being stolen? Most have heard about the capabilities they possess to re-engineer most products.
Patent laws are also not upheld as they are in the US.
Do either of these issues concern you as in investor?
I think this is the wrong company. The Hong Kong company is Rockville Asset Management Ltd and not an INC.
Looks like for the last three years they have filed their 10-K on or about 15 April.
They also filed a extension to allow them to file their 10-K late in each of these years.
Considering they have done this three years in a row, my guess is they will to it again.
Cimatron: A CAN SLIM Slugger With 3D Printing Plans For 2014
Here is an article released on 12 Jan 2014 at Seeking Alpha:
http://seekingalpha.com/author/3d-printing-investor
Disclosure: I am long CIMT, DDD, . I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it. I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Editors' Note: This article covers a stock trading with less than a $100 million market cap. Please be aware of the risks associated with these stocks.
3D printing investors might want to keep a close eye on Cimatron Ltd. (CIMT). The company scores extremely well in a CAN SLIM forward growth projection and is entering the 3D printing software market this year. Cimatron reported the best Q3 in their 32 year history in November, sports a trailing twelve month PE of 22, and has announced plans to enter the 3D printing space this year with industry leader TerryWohlers on their 3D printing advisory board. If that wasn't enough to get your attention, Cimatron registers as a CAN SLIM slugger that appears ready to power to new higher highs.
My earlier article using CAN SLIM in an evaluation of 3D Systems Inc. (DDD) reflected many of the same positive metrics in that stock when it was trading at less than half its current valuation.
For those new to "CAN SLIM", it's the acronym of a screen for high growth stocks developed by William J. O'Neil, successful investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Investor Business Daily. O'Neil began using his CAN-SLIM methodology in 1953, and the approach is generally regarded as one of the most effective screens for finding high growth stocks that will lead their sector and trade to higher highs. Great growth stocks share seven characteristics in the CAN SLIM screen and CIMT has them…in addition to 3D printing software sales coming online in 2014.
Overview/Share Structure
Cimatron develops and distributes CAD/CAM software for the manufacturing industry and is ranked among the top ten CAD/CAM suppliers in every global region. The company has subsidiaries in Asia, North America and Europe, and works with certified independent service providers in over 40 countries worldwide. Cimatron was founded in 1982 and is based in Israel.
CIMT has 9.3 million shares issued & outstanding and a market capitalization of $92 million as of 1/5/2014. Cimitron enjoys a healthy 36% institutional ownership and investors have enjoyed a dividend history with an annualized dividend yield of 4.6%.
Current Product Lines
1.CimatronE, an integrated CAD/CAM solution for toolmakers and manufacturers of discrete parts. (See CimatronE video)
2.GibbsCAM®, billed as "The CAM industry's recognized ease-of-use leader, offers simple to use, yet extremely powerful, solutions for programming CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine tools". (See GibbsCAM® video)
CAN SLIM
•C stands for Current earnings. Per share, current earnings should be up to 25% vs. the same quarter in the previous year. Additionally, if earnings are accelerating in recent sequential quarters, it's a positive prognostic sign.
Cimatron's Q3 GAAP earnings reported on 11/12/13 came in at .10/share vs. .06/share for Q3 of 2012 (a 67% increase), strongly beating the 25% growth mark required for this metric.
EPS accelerated from .08 in Q1 of 2013, to .11 in Q2 of 2013 and then stalled a bit in Q3 at .10 due in part to some share dilution to 9.73 million shares vs. 9.36 million shares in Q2 of 2013.
I expect Q4 to show continued growth based on CEO Danny Haran's statement in the Q3 conference call:
"Generally, and this has been true almost every year. Q4 is the strongest quarter of every year. We expect this year to be no different, and we expect it could be stronger than the other three quarters. However, it is too early in the quarter to give more qualitative guidance, as you know, our quarters in general are back-ended. We see much of the activity coming towards the end of the quarter, so I cannot say much more beyond that we again expect it to be the strongest quarter of the year."
•A stands for Annual earnings which should be up 25% or more in each of the last three years.
Here, Cimatron knocks it out of the park with annual EPS results as follows:
2010 EPS = .18 2011 EPS = .29 2012 EPS = .40
These numbers far exceed the 25% threshold required to meet the annual earnings growth metric of CAN SLIM.
•N stands for New product or service, more specifically a product or service that fuels earnings growth for the "C" and "A" above. This forward look allows the company's stock to break out of prior ranges to new highs. This "N" is partly what propelled Apple, America Online, Amazon.com, eBay, and other high-fliers over the last two decades, and it's what should help drive Cimatron's stock higher over time.
In this case the "new product or service" is 3D printing.
Cimatron brought leading industry expert Terry Wohlers onto their newly-established 3D printing advisory board last year. Cimatron CEO Danny Haran stated at the time:
"The creation of a 3D printing advisory board, and Mr. Wohlers' appointment to it, is aimed at accelerating Cimatron's efforts in entering the additive and hybrid manufacturing field."
Terry Wohlers added:
"Cimatron has long been a strong player in the CAD/CAM software market, and it is only natural for the company to leverage its knowledge of manufacturing software solutions by exploring opportunities in 3D printing."
Cimatron's new 3D printing software product line will be introduced in mid-2014 according to CEO Danny Haran:
"We are starting to work and develop products and solutions for the software side of 3D printing. We don't have any intentions to go into the machines or materials, but we do see some opportunities in the software side of that market. We will come with the first solution or what's known as conformal cooling for molds in the next version of CimatronE, which as I mentioned is expected about mid-2014."
Expected revenue expansion from 3D printing has not gone unnoticed by Chardan Capital Markets: "Chardan Capital Markets Starts Cimatron Ltd. at Buy; Foray Into 3D Could be 'Game-Changer." I expect Chardan to raise their price target well into the teens as Cimatron's 3D printing software product launch nears.
•S stands for Supply and demand. A stock's demand can be seen by the trading volume of the stock during price increases and decreases. Investing basics tell us that a rising stock price along with rising volume indicates demand for shares out pacing supply, and a drop in share price on high volume shows investors heading for the exits. The Money Flow Index (MFI) is useful here as a trend of averaged stock price and volume changes together over time. I won't go into the calculation specifics of the MFI, but if it consistently runs between 30-80, then it's a picture that says "follow the money".
In CIMT's case, the MFI has ranged in that sweet spot of 30-80 for almost all of the last 6 months. While the stock has traded in a broad range from $5.65-$10.00 during that period, the MFI tells us that there has been, on average, more buying pressure than selling pressure, printing the "S" very nicely in Cimatron's CAN SLIM profile.

•L stands for Leader or laggard? Buying a strongly trading stock in a leading industry keeps the focus on strength, not weakness, and helps separate winners from losers. This measurement can be seen in the Relative Price Strength Rating (RS) of the stock. The RS is a measurement of stock performance over a defined period (usually one year) in comparison to the rest of the market.
Here again, CIMT outperforms. The stock's relative strength based on the trailing twelve months compared to all companies in the Fidelity Investments database comes in at a healthy 92, meaning CIMT outperformed 92% of the stocks screened and is up 108% over a 12 month period.
•I stands for Institutional sponsorship which (unsurprisingly) looks at mutual funds, insurance companies, credit unions, banks, and other large players buying the stock. Institutional sponsorship should be increasing in the most recent two quarters, and not trailing off.
This is the only area in the CAN SLIM valuation where Cimatron does not shine. Institutional ownership numbers tend to vary somewhat depending on the source, but I typically like to use Nasdaq.com here.
The table above shows new and increased positions by institutions totaling 1.57 million shares, while other institutions reduced or sold out 1.53 million shares for a negligible gain in the most recent results available.
•M stands for Market indexes, particularly the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and NASDAQ. This part of the acronym is based on market timing and trends. The goal is to invest in stocks that meet the above "CAN-SLI" criteria while there is an uptrend in the Dow Jones, S&P 500 and NASDAQ. The theory (based on historic trends) is that the stocks of good companies outperform in a rising market. In a declining market and souring economy, institutions as well as individuals leave high growth/high tech companies to buy defensive stocks such as utilities, consumer staples, and health care.
In a rising market as we're currently experiencing a high-growth cyclical company like Cimatron historically outperforms. It may sound trite to say "the trend is your friend", but it is still true nonetheless.
"CAN SLIM SLUGGER +"
With the exception of institutional sponsorship which was essentially unchanged, Cimatron meets all of the CAN SLIM criteria and knocks several of the metrics out of the park. This is what it takes for stocks to power to new highs, assuming market conditions remain healthy.
In addition to the strong forward-looking CAN SLIM results, I believe Cimatron has 3 other desirable attributes:
1.Strong balance sheet with $20.4 million in current assets and $10.9 million in current liabilities for a good (but not great) current ratio of just under 1.9. That said, included in their current liabilities is $4.8 million in deferred revenue that will be credited to sales or service revenues in the upcoming quarter (S).
2.Industry consolidation with Autodesk (ADSK) recently snapping up Cimatron rival Delcam for $277 million, and Dassault Systèmes (OTCPK:DASTY) taking an 84% stake in Realtime Technology AG, the potential for Cimatron to be acquired is real.
3.Comparative value + high growth as an emerging 3D printing software play as the chart below indicates.
Conclusion
As a "CAN SLIM Slugger" and 2014 entrant into the 3D printing software space, Cimatron is a company investors in 3D printing might want to research further. I believe the stock is undervalued and will strongly outperform if current overall market conditions remain intact.
Also shows a past relationship with Goodrich. I do not recall hearing anything lately about this relationship. They are a big time aviation company too.
Wick,
Thanks for posting this. Here is the link to the article:

Current Assets of NovaDel
Does anyone have a list of what assets that NovaDel still retains?
From reading old posts on Yahoo I have seen remarks that they still own the following:
1. Rights to Artimist
2. Rights to Zolpimist
3. Rights to SUD-001
Are these correct?
Are there other assets that someone knows about?
The next question will be known liabilities.
That would be nice!
While this was great news, it was not new news.
They have been talking this for some time.
One of the countries they mentioned earlier was Singapore. There are many high tech firms their that can easily build these new solar panels.
Nicehit,
This is really cool! I would invest in this technology if I knew how to.
I see this as being huge. I love a concrete house.
Thanks for posting.
NVDL's real value is 3.2 cents a share.
This is based solely upon the current value of SUDA Stock.
Here is the math:
Value of NVDL based upon them controlling 60,000,000 shares of SUDA
X = Suda Stock Price.-...$0.08
Value of 50 Million Shares of SUDA = 50M * X
50,000,000......*.........0.08 cents....................$4,000,000
Options for 10 M Shares of SUDA = (10M * (X - 0.05))
10,000,000......*.........0.03 cents......................$300,000
..........................................................Total...$4,300,000
................Number of Outstanding NVDL Shares......134,890,000
Actual Value of NVDL $4,300,000 / 134,890,000 = .........$0.032
Using this model when SUDA is at $2.26 per share the value of NVDL is $1.00 per share.
If you want an emailed copy of the model (Excel) please send me a private message with your email in it.
True - no denying this fact!
While the reality of the situation stinks, we must remember that without the private placement of shares the company might be out of business today.
This was stated in multiple old posts.
The bottom line is that either you suck it up and accept this fact or move on.
I decided to suck it up and live with it and not complain about it.
Blazing,
Here is the definition of par value. It has no relation to the actual price of the share:
Definition of 'Par Value'
"The face value of a bond. Par value for a share refers to the stock value stated in the corporate charter. Par value is important for a bond or fixed-income instrument because it determines its maturity value as well as the dollar value of coupon payments. Par value for a bond is typically $1,000 or $100. Shares usually have no par value or very low par value, such as 1 cent per share. The market price of a bond may be above or below par, depending on factors such as the level of interest rates and the bond’s credit status. In the case of equity, par value has very little relation to the shares' market price."
The last sentence here is key!
Blaze,
Please do not make it worse than it really is - price is $0.01.
Looks like the wild ride ended at the HOD of $0.14.
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!
Every day we get one day closer to owning a installation company too! The deal should close this month and we will then have real income on the books.
Here is the message from the 3D Guru - Gary Anderson:
Cimatron (CIMT) has Terry Wohlers on their 3D printing board, will enter 3D printing software this year, trailing PE 22,dividend history, and strong forward growth projection.

I believe this should head up today based upon some positive press by a well known 3D analyst.
Currently up almost 10% in pre market.
We shall see how much it goes up by the end of the day.
With all that is going on in this technology I am really surprised that this board is so dead.
I am sure there is a lot that can be said about Graphene and investing in Graphene that is missing here.
I am always looking for the next big thing, and I think this is it.
Please sound off!
