KAST(.0085)...accumulated a position......
Risk/reward at the sub-penny level on dark KAST looks somewhat interesting to me. Added a few more shares today, and currently have an average under .005 per share on my position.
The possibility of a reinstatement or a custodian attempt here is what got me initially interested in accumulating a position recently. I think things got just a bit more interesting yesterday when David Lazar filed for custodianship of KAST's "sister stock" (ARAT).
I think Lazar's involvement with ARAT might increase the likelihood that KAST CEO Steven Keough will reinstate the company on the NVSOS, or maybe a custodian will make an attempt to get KAST. Either scenario should produce decent profits from these sub-penny levels.
MAGAA($1.15)...still holding full position......
I'm still holding all of my MAGAA shares, and would like to see a solid break over that $2 price (or maybe the $3 level) before trying to trim any of my position.
My current average is under .45 per share, and I think there is a realistic possibility/potential of seeing a 10-bagger on at least some of those shares. It largely depends on just how tightly-held the legacy shares will be going forward over the next few weeks/months. And what the post-RM share structure will look like.
I see Yubo added an online order section (Yubo Mall) to its website sometime in late October or early November. After the company had removed the stock listing promotional video from its corporate website, I noticed a new listing promotional video appeared October 21 on a video website I monitor. This new video didn't have the english subtitles that the original video had, but it definitely was different and I remember it featured the profiles of another three people associated with the company. After seeing that video, I picked up an additional 8K shares at 40 cents in late October.
That video only stayed on this other website for a brief period of time before it was removed. But you still can find some Yubo-related promotional videos there that don't appear on the corporate website. Most of them are related to the stem cell nebulized inhalant and the cosmetics side of the company.......

PCMC(.11)...President updated LinkedIn profile......
Accumulated some shares when PCMC pulled back under 6 cents in October. Might have a reasonably decent chance of seeing a nice move over that 20-cent area if/when any additional filings/activity occurs.
I'm fairly certain that Patrick Goldberg McMahon (the new President) updated his LinkedIn profile sometime this week. I remember checking his profile again last weekend (and possibly early this week), and there definitely were no references to his employment position with PCMC at that time.
Should be interesting to see if PCMC maintains its prior business direction to some extent, or if there will be a complete change in direction, or a reverse merger here. The two industries/sectors that McMahon seems to have been most interested in the last few years (based on his most recent business/personal interests) are the cannabis and gambling sectors.
EAIN($2.8)...increased my position.....

EAIN, MAGAA, Lazar's involvement with UUU......
Cardoso's live streams......
Pilot Trading promotional video......
QuantGate had Tony Chapman film a 51-second promotional video for its mobile app (Pilot Trading). The video was placed on the StealthPro YouTube channel yesterday......
StealthPro live demo from yesterday......
On YouTube you can find Leonardo Cardoso's live demonstration of StealthPro that he did early yesterday afternoon (October 23). It is on the Brazen Capital channel and was done to talk about and demonstrate the QuantGate technology that Brazen uses for its robotic hedge fund. The market was pretty slow during the roughly 18 minutes of live trading (shortly after the noon hour).
Cardoso mentions QuantGate a number of times in the slide presentation prior to the trading session. The QuantGate logo is displayed at the bottom of the slides. Cardoso also mentions the mobile platform (Pilot Trading) in the final segment of this video.
EAIN(1.00)..increased my position.....
HYBG(.06)...MediScan website is updating......
Broker/Product pitch deck...Vikal Kapoor......
The September 2020 broker/product presentation that Leonardo Cardoso and Nikolas Perrault have posted on their LinkedIn profiles in the last few days is pretty interesting. It provides the names of more employees and advisors who are involved with QGSI.
Page 9: Current downloads of Pilot Trading (the mobile app) is 11K. Their current reach of retail traders under their currently available brokers is 1M. The company expects the current reach will be 100M in 2021.

https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffery-cuff-608a9b17/
Of the three new names that show up in the "advisors" section of this presentation, there is one that I find extremely interesting/intriguing. It appears that QuantGate has attracted the attention/interest of Vikal Kapoor. Kapoor has a pretty extensive history in the financial/fintech industry. This is part of Kapoor's biographical information that appears on the website of SevenTrain Ventures (a venture capital investment/development firm that Kapoor founded in late 2019 or early 2020)......
MAGAA(.68)...continue to hold position.....
8topuz/Quantgate app...launch expected within a month or so......
Anthony Munns (Head of Digital at 8topuz) did a podcast interview in the last week. In this interview, he mentions that 8topuz is expecting to launch within a month or so an app that combines the 8topuz and Quantgate technologies. Munns/8topuz sounds pretty excited about the potential/performance of this app. You can hear his comments around the 31:30 - 34:40 timeframe on the interview......

Broker integration update...
It looks like things may have just got a little bit more interesting here with the latest update on the Pilot Trading website. Scroll down to the "Supported Brokers" section of the home page and click on the "Integrated Broker List" button. There are some very interesting brokerages on that list (including E*Trade, Deutsche Bank, J.P. Morgan, etc,)......

StealthPro...Q4 launch.....
HYBG(.106)...medical imaging software RM......
With the 8-K filed after hours disclosing a change in control, it appears that the HYBG shell will be doing a reverse merger with Medi-Scan Inc (a startup medical imaging software company currently focused on Hi-Def ultrasound imaging).
The upside could be pretty nice (and potentially explosive) here with the 3.2+M float. Based on the text/graphics that can be found on the RM target's website and Facebook page, there is a Covid-19 angle that might attract some investor interest.
The new CEO's financial services company (eProdigy Financial) registered the Medi-Scan website May 12, 2020. The Medi-Scan Facebook page went active July 13......

Brazil stock exchange...Pilot Trading approval getting closer.....
This is the second day in a row that Leonardo Cardoso on social media has referenced that Quantgate is in the approval process with B3 (the Brazil stock exchange). It looks like they are close to getting approval for Pilot Trading.
And this week's press release regarding the distribution partnership with 8topuz is pretty interesting, particularly now that 8topuz entered into a strategic partnership with SEED Group earlier this year. 8topuz appears to be a company that is not shy about aggressively promoting/expanding its business, utilizing everything from video, interviews, podcasts, webinars, conferences, trade shows, etc.
Some Cardoso tweets from the last two days:
LWLW...reduced my position.....
MAGAA(.50)...accumulated a position......
Still holding my full position...still optimistic.....
EAIN(.60)...accumulated a position.....
I picked up a 6K position in the EAIN shell today in the .60-.63 range. Risk/reward around this area looks reasonably good to me. Ideally I would have liked to get this shell at a slightly lower market cap, but I think the low share structure (1.2+M outstanding) more than justifies paying a little bit more of a "premium" here.
This is from the "subsequent events" section of the quarterly report filed this week.....
Completely disregard my previous post.....
Share increase....probably reflects a conversion of the preferred......
My assumption (based on running the numbers) is that the outstanding share increase is most likely an indication that Debra Swain and Marsha Collins have converted all of their preferred shares into common shares. The 246,697,500 share increase exactly matches what the 9.25M preferred were convertible to (1 preferred for 26.67 common).
However, the conversion ratio I provided above was from May 2019 and does not reflect the 1:5 reverse split that occurred subsequently. So I think an error has been made here. If the sisters did in fact convert the preferred, the actual outstanding count should be 84,223,797. The correct ratio should be 1 preferred for 5.334 common.
Preferred share conversion ratios are always adjusted accordingly with any stock split. I am unaware of any situation in the past where I have not seen the preferred ratios get adjusted. So I will be extremely surprised (unpleasantly surprised) if we don't see the company adjust/correct the share count.
If the sisters did convert their preferred, this could start to get a bit more interesting. It probably increases the chances that we might see some pretty big blocks of shares exchange hands and perhaps see some new people/institutions get involved with the stock/company.
Shporer's Twitter replies to Dave Portnoy......
Kind of interesting to note that Ronnie Shporer (one of QGSI's distribution partners) has posted three replies to some Dave Portnoy tweets since August 7 (including two replies today). Needless to say, it would be pretty wild/crazy if he actually got Dave to direct message him for info/demonstration.......
August 7:
ANAS(.015)...Lazar shell setting up nicely......
From an overall standpoint, the risk/reward on this Lazar shell looks extremely good at this price level. Either Lazar (at the time he took control of the shell) or the previous management removed/eliminated issued preferred shares that would have made the fully-diluted share structure somewhat less attractive for a reverse merger.
Now with 8+ months of churning around this 1-2 cent area this shell appears to be setting up for some potentially nice gains. Quite a few of the Lazar shells have seen multi-million dollar valuations on the original legacy share positions. And some of those legacy valuations on his shells recently have been extraordinarily high.
So I think the chances of seeing prices somewhere in the 5-10 cent range could be excellent. And a price target in the 10-20 cent range would not be unreasonable depending on the quality and market reaction to the incoming RM and management team.
VBVT(.173)...possible new RM target......
I'm still holding every share I've bought of the VBVT shell (48+K at a .31+ average). Business under-performance over the last couple of years and the pandemic this year pretty much put an end to the Firetainment reverse merger.
Now that the Firetainment RM has been unwound and a new CEO (Rene Lauritsen) has taken control maybe this will start to bring some new optimism/potential back into the shell. Lauritsen is currently the CEO of LRSV (CBD pet products, with some indications that company filings will be brought current soon there) and was an IR consultant on the WSFT reverse merger.
My best guess at this point is that Lauritsen might use the VBVT shell to bring his start-up communication/messaging app business public (Webware Corp -- ezTALK). He is the founder and CEO. A website registration for "eztalkpro.com" was completed on June 26. This is a link to an August 2020 investors deck that appears on that website......

ZNNC(.0051)...accumulated a position.....
Let me preface this post by stating that ZNNC is probably a mess of a company (in a number/variety of ways), so the risk level is pretty high. Transparency and providing investors with a clear/coherent picture of the company has never been one of ZNNC's strong points. Japanese OTC companies have pretty much always been a nightmare to research/understand (speaking for myself), so I don't spend a great deal of time trying to analyze them, and ZNNC is certainly no exception.
Having said that, I have accumulated a position in ZNNC over the last 6+ months or so at a .0034 average. It seems to trade at times as if the share structure is unusually tight, so I am thinking this stock might have a decent chance of seeing a pop/spike somewhere into the 1-5 cent area at some point.
I first became aware in late 2019 that ZNNC was expanding its digital currency/payment business to a much broader market (instead of just focusing on casinos/gambling) by monitoring website registrations and changes to websites related to ZNNC. Based on the websites, ZNNC could be considered a play on digital currency/payment, food delivery, and perhaps esports (at some point).
The new corporate website for ZNNC was registered on June 15 and went active shortly after......

For what it is worth, this is how one of the ZNNC-associated websites describes the digital payment business......
Cardoso's Stealth Pro webinar/demos.....
Starting around the end of July, there has been a very noticeable increase in activity/updating on Leonardo Cardoso's "Wallstreetable" website.
It appears that Cardoso will be doing live 45-minute demonstrations of Stealth Pro every Tuesday and Thursday (covers the first 30 minutes of the trading day)......
Next Brazil webinar...August 17.....
Brazil...marketing activity ramping up next week......
It looks like Leonardo Cardoso and Eric Gaigher will be ramping up the Quantgate-related marketing activity in Brazil starting next week. They have scheduled a live webinar for traders/investors about 4 days from now. Two of QGSI's trading platforms (Pilot Trading and Stealth Pro) will be discussed......

QMDT...Oxi-Tex website, Avrio Footwear......
QMDT's anti-microbial coating is being used by a start-up footwear company called Avrio Footwear. Yesterday, Avrio had a live Instagram launch party for its Kickstarter campaign. The interviews suffered quite a bit from very poor internet connections (the party hostess was based in England), so most of the interviews are kind of unbearable to watch.
QMDT CEO Bernd Liesenfeld was featured in one of the morning interviews and he talked about Oxi-Tex for roughly 11 minutes. I've mentioned in previous posts about the indirect/direct business relationship that QMDT may or may not have with Algix/Bloom. Kind of interesting to note that while I was watching the interview live, I noticed that Ryan Hunt ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-w-hunt-80622211/) posted a "thumbs up" sign on the Instagram interview.
One interesting thing I found in this interview is that QMDT has a new website for Oxi-Tex. It was registered on June 19 and must have gone active recently. Not all sections of the website are fully functional/updated at the time I am writing this......
https://www.oxi-tex.com/
This is a link to his interview. He shows up around the 1:30 minute mark......

You can also hear Avrio CEO John Matthews talk briefly about Oxi-Tex in this BELLA Magazine interview that was posted a couple of days ago. Starts around the 33:05 mark and ends around the 34:30 mark.....

Added more shares to my position in the .0024-.003 price range. Javier Acosta became the new CEO of GSAC back in March 2020, according to his LinkedIn page. This started showing up in my LinkedIn searches only in the last week or two, so Acosta might have updated his account here very recently......
