One thing about our CEO Mark Kay is that the man will not put out "fluff" PRs like many other pink sheet listed stocks do. Like you, I appreciate that.
You may be right. The pps could break 4s since we are in tax selling season. Once that is done however it'll be a whole new ball game. My crystal ball is just as cloudy as yours but I believe 2017 will be SFOR's year. We should know how good 2017 portends to be with the publication of the first Q report of the new year. Until those figures are in I am long & strong SFOR!
Yeah man, a diamond in the rough. I'm so glad I found it and invested when I did, not in the basement, but 1st floor after the Microsoft settlement. I'm still up 153% since I took my initial position, no complaints and expecting to do much better in 2017 IMHO.
Too bad for them they may be chasing the pps North once any good big news hits.
Yeah, you & I think alike. Like you I believe the finalization of the granting of that international patent may be holding things up. SFOR management may want to be absolutely sure company IP is fully protected by force of law IMHO.
Would those people be SFOR flippers, shorts or both in your opinion?
Like I've written before in my mind the jury is out until I read the 1st Q report of 2017. I have patient capital invested here. The reading of the 1st Q of 2017 will reveal if Mr. Kay continues to execute on his four point company growth plan or not. The proof will be in the pudding. I can wait until then for dessert.
If you must leave the SFOR banquet table earlier I perfectly understand. An investment in SFOR may not meet your short-term objectives. I fully realize people have different timelines.
Long & Strong SFOR!
This will help get more eyeballs looking at and considering an investment in SFOR.
"Potential deployment to its client base of up to 7 million users"
Mike Lazenby CEO of CDIS Group. A contract of that magnitude would be a game changer for SFOR! It would definitely help get SFOR out of the sand lot of the pink sheets and upgraded into the minor league IMHO.
I agree. A family member added $500 worth of rocket fuel at .0044 this week. They are getting ready for the SFOR rocket to blast off in 2017. This time it won't be a brief sub-orbital flight like last time. IMHO It'll be more like Friendship 7s. "God's speed John Glenn".
My guess is no dilution if one of the large deal closes as the CEO stated they are working on. Then Kay will prove he is continuing to execute on his four point company growth plan.
Looks like they are headed for Europe soon as posted by ZPaul.
We're #1 yet again! Thanks for that update Diego.
It would be nice but they may be waiting for the international patent (which is pending) to be approved to fully protect their IP from European pirates/infringers.
I understand Target's senior management wanting SFOR products to prove themselves worthy of additional precious shelf space before they commit to an entire chain wide rollout. I believe they will and we will know with the 10-K year-end retail figures that capture holiday sales. Right now, half a loaf is better than none IMHO.
Good question for the board! Does anyone know how to access that kind of data from staples and office max? If not could you please call Mark tomorrow AM and share what he tells you with all of us on this message board. I have always found him courteous and a straight arrow in answering my questions. I would call him but am starting my travels in the morning to visit family for the holidays. Thanks.
The more appropriate question might be "When's the beef?". I believe we will have much more clarity on this with the release of the year-end 10-K and 1st Q reports. Until then, I am long & strong SFOR. I perfectly understand if this does not meet your timeline and sincerely wish you luck with your other investments that do. I have patient capital invested here for the long haul.
I recognize others are short-term investors or flippers.
Yeah, progress is being made. The problem some people have is that it does not meet their timeline objectives. I understand that. I have patient capital invested in SFOR and can wait for the year-end 10-K and 1st Q of 2017 results to give me the empirical evidence that my long-term investment in SFOR is sound or not. Some people are just not that patient. Long & Strong SFOR!
I'm into incrementalism. I'm glad to see incremental steady progress in SFOR's geographic sales footprint.
This is ONLY the initial distribution. The computer/electronics department manager will monitor their inventory. Once those two copies are sold (in short order IMHO) they will be replaced with more copies. SFOR has to prove itself in each store. I believe it will.
That's great news! Sales figures must be promising for Target to expand their distribution of SFOR products into more stores. Initially my family & friends would have to of driven to a Target store in MA to purchase. It's good to see the geographic footprint of our product distribution expand.
I disagree. I believe the song longs will be singing in 2017 is one from the boom times on Wall Street before the crash it's "We're in the Money".
Goo catch with that USAF RFP opportunity! ACS is another government distributor SFOR works with.
Thanks for that clarification. The bottom line is that SFOR defensive software meets their standards and is currently being used by the financial industry.
When I called Mark Kay and asked why family & friends could not find SFOR product in all of ME, NH and VT he told me it was a decision by Target marketing. They focused initial distribution to those stores with major population centers and larger computer/electronic departments. If sales numbers are good, SFOR product will be distributed to a greater number of stores. I'm glad we got our foot in the door with half their stores nationwide for a start. IMHO that's a good start!
Thanks! At least as Mr. Kay told me I "increased product awareness with the military". If it did any good is another matter. Your guess is as good as mine. My bottom line is the troops need some vendor's defensive software (hopefully ours!) for their mobile devices. I'm guardedly optimistic they'll get it in 2017.
Good to see. Thanks for bringing that to our attention. Nice couple of product reviews also.
They'll only be able to continue that game until one of the 8 catalysts outlined in ZPaul's sticky note come into play.
The only guarantee I can give you about DOD is that the CIO is aware of Mobile Trust's potential solution to their mobile device COMSEC problem. SBA initiated legislation mandated small businesses like SFOR get a chance to compete against the major defense contractors for a slice of the DOD pie. ACS gave a sales pitch but I don't know how it went! USCG's CIO also took a look at our product as did US Cyber Command. But, I don't know which vendor will be chosen by them in the competitive bidding process. Time will tell, but only sometime after the DOD Appropriations Bill for 2017 is signed into law by the POTUS. I did send Lt/Gen Ben Hodges a copy of Mobile Trust via Amazon Prime this summer to his USAEUR HQ in Wiesbaden since he brought the issue to light. His 5 mobile brigades in E. European NATO countries really need it now IMO! I got that reply on behalf of the Army Chief of Staff that I posted but that was it. Even if SFOR is chosen, an NDA would understandably keep it pretty close hold until we can parse it out of the 1st Q report of 2017.
I have respect for you & yours as well. Even though we may disagree about SFOR in some areas.
"This is where the power comes from" So true! What bolsters that power in SFOR's case is the initial patent date. If you go to the U.S. Patent office site and pull it you'll find something interesting. Our Chief Technology Officer Ram Pemmaraju got his first US patent on OOBA for mobile devices way back in 2000! That's when he laid a foundation stone for the edifice of cyber security. This is undeniably a very strong point in our favor in any IP infringment case.
The way we are in bad shape militarily can be found in defense depots & readiness. After our nation's longest war a lot of equipment is worn out and in need of refurbishment/replacement.
After an unsustainable op tempo of deployment's to Iraq & Afghanistan personnel are worn out. Example, a close relative has been deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan & now in support of our actions against ISIS in the five years since I swore them into their Reserve unit. Reserve, not active! This has affected their civilian career negatively. To sustain the tactical side of the house the strategic has been neglected. The triad and nuclear weapons need to be modernized. I know of one guy flying the type of aircraft (B-52) their grandfather flew as a test pilot when it first came out! Yes, we have spent an enormous amount on defense. That's why a President Trump wrote he will press NATO allies to chip in their fair share (2% of GDP. Several do not & we've been picking up the slack, unfairly, for decades! Then we can get the troops what is needed like defensive software such as SFOR's mobile trust. I love it here! I helped stand guard against the USSR while in SAC. I would not love it in Russia because my east European family lost their farm to communist collectivization and my grandmother's niece in a forced labor camp.
No, 2017 does not mean 2020. It means 2017. This is the year when longs will be LOL all the way to Bank!
Yeah, who can ding the one SFOR year chart? I guess only short-term traders or flippers. With patient capital invested here I am Long & Strong SFOR!
You're right. The legal system grinds exceedingly slow but exceedingly fine. If we prevail against Duo, Centrify and Trustwave (read Singapore Telecom) it will be a game changing legally for SFOR. Blank Rome is so confident in this victory they are working on contingency. If achieved this will enable them to use their simple, yet effective legal strategy, wash, rinse, repeat against the next 5 infringers. They will then be unstoppable in court IMHO!
Why not General Mattis? You may ask. Rest assured I believe the warrior monk will make a good Secretary of Defense. The problem is Congress. The have to change the law that forbids senior officers from serving in that position until they have been out of the military for 7 years. There is precedent, Colin Powell who was a great SEC/DEF IMHO. Once the law is changed, again, and he is confirmed, Mad Dog Mattis can fill the position. The week he arrives at the Pentagon there will be my letter regarding the SFOR solution to the DOD mobile device COMSEC problem in his in-basket. Not until then.
I wasn't here then so I cannot comment on the past. I took my initial position only after the case with Microsoft was settled because I considered that a watershed event. This year I have seen Mark Kay start to execute on the four point company growth plan he articulated. I look at the 8 catalysts outlined in ZPaul's sticky note for future guidance knowing these things take time. I've got patient capital invested here so I can wait for the results of the year-end 10-K and 1st Q to see if the new sales & business development guys are worth their salt. Until then, for me, the jury is still out.
I agree, SFOR has the better (cyber) mousetrap! We have the right product, at the right time, at the right price point. 2017 will be SFOR's year IMHO. I'm just grateful I found it when I did, after the Microsoft settlement & took a position.
Long & Strong SFOR!
Hardly, just a vet like you trying to help his old unit & the war-fighters that replaced us. IMHO They desperately need defensive software like SFOR's Mobile Trust! A retired USN CPO encouraged me to contact the Chiefs about this issue. I'm just following his wise advice. Please consider doing so likewise. Every letter counts! Thanks.

Dear General Kelly,
Congratulations on your nomination to be our next Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
As a retired military intelligence officer I was alarmed when I read Lt/Gen Ben Hodges AFN interview in Poland during NATO’s FX Anaconda in June. In it he stated “Neither (unclassified) radio communications nor email are secure” and “I assume everything I write on my BlackBerry is being monitored.” I believe he’s absolutely right! This COMSEC problem can become an OPSEC one with dire consequences in the near future by enabling enemy targeteers to put munitions on American targets; as I did to our country’s enemies.
As you are aware, the U.S. Army is switching from Androids to Apple’s Chinese made I-phone 6. In July my (relationship withheld) & fellow unit members deployed to the Middle East in support of operations against IS with their personal mobile devices. These and issue I-phones have inadequate protection against cyber-attack and exploitation by hostile intelligence services to find, target and kill them, preventing mission success.
This winter I became concerned about protecting my personal information and financial information from hackers. I found out that the anti-virus programs out there fail to protect against the zero day attacks that key loggers and click jackers use. I wanted multi-layered defense and anti-screen capture capabilities. I read that “Silicon Review” recognizes Strike Force Technologies as the world’s leading provider of patented, military-grade keystroke encryption, out of band authentication and 2 factor authentication. I purchased on-line and installed their Mobile Trust product on my mobile device. I also encouraged family and friends to do likewise.
Mobile Trust is now being sold in brick and mortar stores nationwide. It was easy to install, costs $30 a year for two I-phones, does not slow things down or cause any other problems. I did this only after Strike Force Technologies settled with Microsoft over patent infringement in January. In full disclosure, I was so impressed I then bought 2 million shares of SFOR sub-penny stock. Now that I have initiated contact with you using my retired rank and specialty I am forbidden by the honor code to add to that position. Please consider helping get our troops something to fix this tremendous COMSEC problem. I don’t even care if it’s Mobile Trust! They just need something better than the standard consumer encryption Apple provides its I-Phone 6. It is nowhere near the level of protection they need. Please view this like the critical shortage of body armor at the start of OIF.
I’ve written letters to current government officials and received courteous replies. However, no defensive software was provided our troops due to the Congressional budget impasse. With the passage of H.R. 5293-DOD Appropriations Act, 2017 funds would be available to do this. Please help! If I can be of any further service to you or our country in this matter please don’t hesitate to call, e-mail or write me at (contact info withheld).
Best Regards,
