2024 should be the transition year that sets the stage for the company's future. I expect to see increased sales and a clearer picture for the company going forward. There are no perfect microcap stocks. They all have a blemish or two. The question is whether they can clear them up. Avenir should be the type of company well suited for this task.

A CEO knows what is in the pipeline and how likely it is that any money loaned will be repaid, especially when the underlying source of the money is an unsecured loan. The fact that she made the loan to her company I see as a positive sign. If the company was hopeless and waiting for death, there would be no reason to pump any cash in. She did, and I take that as a sign of faith in her company.

The press releases indicatre things are moving forward. Coupled with a product that clearly offers outstanding volume, I like the risk/reward. This is destined for a significant ride. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when it becomes apparent and how far it goes.

Pitcook estimated maybe a dozen board readers. I am estimating maybe 6 more on a weekly basis. I will bet that easily 2/3rds are investors waiting for earnings reports before they consider buying more, and find this constant bickering between bulls and bears to be little more than amusing nonsense. All that matters are the quarterly statements. The rest is noise until an upward trend in sales becomes clear. When that happens, the press releases of deals and agreements become valuable signs of future increases. I expect that turn will occur this year. Lots of smoke. Let's see where the fire is.

Congratulations to Mr. Lindus. Recognition for a job well done is always welcome news. Great to have Innovative Designs affiliated with a successful entrepreneur.

Well said Pitcook. That pretty well brings us current with the last few years' activities. As I noted previously, IVDN is a positive risk/reward situation. That's not a guarantee of riches or even a return of capital, but if I could stock a portfolio with ten companies in a similar situation, I would remortgage the house to play those odds. I am hoping this picture becomes much clearer in a year, but if it takes 18 or 24 months, I will be disappointed but remain optimistic. The potential is measured in dollars per share. The risk is 20 cents per share. The real world does not always satisfy people's desire for instant gratification. Things take time, especially when money is a constraint. But I have faith that momentum will accelerate as the year goes on. One cannot ask for much more out of a microcap stock. This one is, IMO, not only a keeper, but one to build a nest egg on.

I have followed many microcap stocks over the last 20 years. All have dreams. Some have products. Few have marketing, especially those run by tech-types. I like IVDN. It has a product with a well-defined market. And it is gaining distributors who know how to market products. Insulation is not a consumer product. Sure, they sell insulation at Lowes and Home Depot, but the primary buyers are professionals in the home building and additions business. It's been a long time coming together, and there are no guarantees in life. I am very excited that IVDN has the ingredients to become worth many times its current valuation. I may not like it at $5/share, but at 20 cents, the risk/reward on this stock looks very favorable to me. I am a buyer.

International would be nice, but the US market is more than large enough to keep the company busy for the next decade or two. The domestic potential is huge.

JediJazz - you are right on with the Warren Buffett quote. Lamperd Less Lethal makes a necessary product. I will guess many organizations own less lethal equipment and ammo that hasn't been fired in many years. When the next big event comes where less lethal riot control is needed, be it on the border, in Washington DC, or somewhere else, it will stimulate conversations throughout the country about local preparations. When that happens, the distributor network that Lamperd Less Lethal has been building will pay off.

Sadly, this is a product category that needs a catalyst to spur significant sales. That catalyst will happen, and I would guess the probability of such an event is significantly higher today than it was a year ago. When it does, this is a whole new ball game. Until then, it is a ground and pound game of developing brand awareness and working with those organizations a little more forward thinking about security concerns.

It may seem odd that a stock with potentially enormous future growth appears stuck in a low price range , but there are simple reasons for this. Innovative Designs is listed on a small cap exchange (the OTC QB). Most of these companies do not attract institutional money nor are they followed by professional analysts. Those analysts that exist in the micro-cap world tend to be hired guns who work for the company they are evaluating. They may offer investors a clearer view of how the company makes money and its potential, but they are biased. In short, their reports rarely move the market for more than a few days. I am unaware of any such people working for IVDN.

Many of these micro cap stocks have a small number of shareholders - often just a few hundred or less. These stocks move when they have great news and on the strength of great earnings reports. IVDN should show serious growth quarter over quarter from now on. But until they report, the computers that screen stocks with Improving fundamentals will not identify IVDN. That should change in the coming months. When the hard news of sales and earnings gets reported, the stock price will respond. Until then, there are just so many people who know about the company, and many of them have already made an investment.

Just a personal guess, when the sales news starts to come out in quarterly filings, this stock could rocket. It has low float, proprietary IP, few existing shareholders, and low trading volume. When the time comes that some serious investors want 10 or 25 thousand shares to start, they may push the stock price up significantly to get those shares.

A great quarter will set the table for a super 2024. This company has the ingredients for success. A successful quarter will set the table for additional funding and an exciting next year. Looking forward to hearing and seeing more from Avenir in the new year.

A global patent may not mean much for IVDN in its current market position, but it can be a huge asset should a large multinational want to manufacture, distribute, or purchase the company. It makes it exclusive. A patent alone is just the right to sue to prevent others from copying a product. But in the hands of a company with overwhelming financial capability, it can be enforced in most parts of the world. This patent makes IVDN a significantly more valuable company. Congratulations to the management team. Well done.

Excellent news about LIGA. This should be a great partnership. Also good seeing the Insultex house wrap being applied on a house. Looking good.

When a company's key customers do well, it has to be good news for their suppliers. Congratulations Lindus Construction.

This is a lot more than many other microcap companies can claim. Certainly worth a flyer at these prices.

The government is pushing heat pumps for cooling and heating. More insulation means one needs less heat pump, saving money in operating expenses and initial capital. As energy prices rise, more insulation will always be better than less.

Sales people - An excellent idea. They can help not only find buyers but also distributors. Big move for Lamperd. Looking forward to seeing their results.

Good to see that Avenir is promoting its products with the biggest shopping days of the year coming up. Looks like an attractive sales offer. Long Avemir.

Growing gross margin is always a positive for companies. It indicates an ability to raise prices and an improved product mix. Great news.

LIG Assets is expanding in the construction business. LIG Assets sells IVDN's house wrap and presumably will use this wrap in their construction projects. And this is great news for IVDN. Well done.

Dr. Persky is the real deal. I spent a few minutes Googling the doctor to learn more about him. From everything I can see, this gentleman is among the best at his craft. He is knowledgeable about many aspects of skincare, maintenance, and, of course, facial and reconstructive surgery. This man is not going to promote something unless he believes the product is safe and effective, Avenir's product meets those qualifications enough that Dr. Persky is willing to devote his time and energy to promoting the product. Not every skincare company can say they have the enthusiastic support of a major medical professional. Avenir can because the product must be quality.

Well said Profit Scout. If the product works, whatever other issues the company may have can all be resolved. As long as the company has the marketing capability to grow revenue over time, any other issues are secondary. Long Avenir.

JediJazz - You hit it exactly. Labor is a big cost component in construction. If one wrap takes the same labor to install as another, but also provides a distinct benefit like insulation, it becomes a matter of price and availability. I don't know about the pricing, but we know costs come down due to volume long term. That is not a long term issue. As far as availability is concerned, hopefully, the company will have a capacity concern in the coming year. It will need to raise some capital, build a factory, and acquire more machinery. This is how growth works and how little companies become mid-sized companies. This is how companies get acquired because bigger companies know how to efficiently manufacture, they have distribution, and they have easy access to capital. It's a win for everyone.

Hang in there. The ride is starting. Keep your hands and feet inside the car and enjoy the ride. Long IVDN..

What can I say? Pitcook, that about sums up the bullish case. Well done. This is a stock you simply must own.

This is the type of news that we have been waiting to hear. The company is gaining traction for its product. And because thew accounts are commercial accounts, that means re-orders. Outstanding. Long IVDN!!

Have some faith that the company will resolve its outstanding debt issue and continue to grow. It is in everyone's best interest to move forward and make this a profitable situation.

Absolutely is a gift. The company is going through a complete restructuring. They are no longer the company they were in the slow growth, low margin packaging business. I trust Mr, Sorkin to get this company into higher valuation businesses that can grow and sell at a higher PE ratio.

The company has a great product and the company has a very favorable share structure. Marketing is always challenging and takes time to mature, but it will come. IVDN should see growth for many quarters. This is unlikely to be an overnight sensation, but should be a stock one can buy and add to for at least 3 to 4 years.

If one were to define a perfect distributor for Lamperd, Intersec would come very close. They must have an active relationship with the Mexican and other government agencies throughout the region. They are situated near a region, the border, where non-lethal crowd control is always going to be a concern and a need. And they understand that a non-lethal weapon delivered quickly is always better than one delivered in a quarter or two. Lamperd and Intersec should be a relationship that will benefit all parties.

Promos with a charity component usually do well. Well done Avenir.

Well stated Profit Scout. Growth takes time, especially when one looks for accounts that purchase repeatedly. Builders certainly fit that bill. These are precisely the customers the company needs. Hopefully, this interest will translate into sales soon.

Word of mouth starts with a growing account base. This is great news. Hopefully, this will translate into meaningful sales in future quarters.

Agreed. Lots of smaller companies have some legacy issues. Avenir will get this issue resolved, because it is in everyone's best interest to do so. With the success of its latest product, the future looks positive. Happy to be a shareholder and looking to add to my position.

Tax credits are the way to stimulate maximum insulation.

Good to see the uplisting. One more growth step.

Agreed, a big step forward that allows the company to focus on growth.

Great to see that the company has received endorsements from professionals with the training and experience to recognize quality medical products from simple make-up. This bodes well for future projects and opens marketing to those who seek these kinds of endorsements before trying a product.

Starting to read forecasts that home construction will be up a healthy amount 1st half 2024 over 1st half 2023. The time to gain distribution is now to catch the coming wave. Nice progress to date, but much more still to be done. Hoping for capacity problems in the coming quarters. It's a nice problem to have.

Online orders? YES!! Been waiting for this for months, but finally it is here. Not every builder is a big deal. Lots of smaller builders and people building barns and garages. Online should do well. Now let's promote it and get that phone ringing. Long IVDN

Exactly BlazingStocks. The company needs to spend money on brand building and product awareness. It is a challenge for every company to establish its brand and develop a following. It takes time, money, and competent marketing people. With $2 million more on the way, we should see progress in the form of incremental revenues.
