If you ask me - BZCN looks like its testing its former lows so IMO regardless of how low it gets any news will make it pop.
A response from a trusted source i asked...I asked if he was familiar with the "NO LOAN policy"
Response:
I'm more than familiar with it. It's a very common practise and they make tons of money for doing it. Much more than the commission. This is why you get brokers willing to reduce the commission to $4 ...
I don't know about the impact. Yes, if everyone do it in one shot, you will cause a short squeeze. But that's not going to happen. We're too small compared to the billion dollar mutual funds. Besides short sale mean also short covering at a certain point which equate to a buy transaction ...
I didn't know that u could ask the broker not to lend your shares. And even if they promised they won't, how would you know that this really took place? There's no way to tell
NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PVHO - 3D Hologram Technology! not on screen but in front of your eyes like a human being. 3 Dimensional !!!
Conference Call with CEO released today
http://www.stockshaven.com/wp-content/themes/Cleaker2.1%20with%20Widget%20Support/Cleaker/images/PVHOCCFINAL.mp3
Guys I did some research and you need to check out the kind of technology we are discussing here:
Ichie -
Cool i can use the company loool! Great Product! Did you make this decision after hearing the Conference call or not yet? I will post it.
TONY;
Great Post ! ! I'm at work today and haven't had a chance to check on news/PRs - this is Excellent!!! B/w the CC & a VC thing's are definately moving along.
Please stop the negative posts. The questions that were posted earlier by Horse seem to have been answered and the overall tone of the CC seemed to be quite optimistic.
i don't anticipate a buyout now - just that mere fact that he mentioned might make him a potential buy in 3-5yrs -
for me - in the long run it's a profitable company; they will utilitized their advertisements, their intuitive technology and just like he said - target multion billion dollar companies in the likes of (Intel, Disnet, Nike, BIC, etc etc etc...)
By the last statement! It's obvious where the CEO wants to take the company!! most definately some sort of buyout by a big name - I have never in my life heard a CEO openly say such a statement unless he's signaling something :)
PVHO CONFERENCE CALL - TheMarketFinancial
[color=red][/color]
Hello everybody, this is Michael Vlaicu representing TheMarketFinancial.com , and I am joined here by Curt Thonton, CEO of Provision Holding.
As you may know on December 2nd we initiated an independent research report on Provision Holding Inc., an emerging company looking to revolutionize the advertising industry with 3D holographic, tactile displays. They are featured on the over-the-counter bulletin board under the ticker symbol PVHO.
To Begin
Please introduce yourself – what is your roll at Provision and how long have you been with the Company? Perhaps tell us a little bit about the management team and your advisory board.
• Curt Thornton, CEO, Provision Holding.
• Role = Founder, since 2001
Briefly describe Provision’s operations over the past several years.
•
Provision’s operations have evolved over the past several years; While revenue producing since day one; profitable while a private company. Early years were primarily focused on product development and IP formation, selling hardware
• Transitioned about 2 years ago to become a digital media company
•
How does your 3D technology work?
• Technology used incorporates an optics based system, with electronics and software.
What differentiates Provision’s technology from other 3D displays?
• Two other major forms of 3D displays: traditional 3D with glasses and what is commonly referred to as ‘autostereoscopic’ 3D displays, or 3D without glasses.
• Provision’s technology has significant points of differentiation with autostereoscopic displays:
o holographic images are projected floating in space detached from screen
o clear, high resolution, SVGA and above
o single source content versus multiple sources of content by autostereo. Provision’s single source does not hurt the eyes with its wide viewing angle, as compared to autostereo with multiple sources of content causing eye strain and very narrow view angles.
o low cost to produce content, and can use all existing 2D content as is with no conversion process.
• Can you explain how you are collaborating with the WII remote to create tactile advertising? ***
o Provision is collaborating with the University of Tokyo to create “Touchable Holography”. Wiimotes placed above the display to track hand motion, and an airborne ultrasound tactile display created in the university's lab to create the sensation of touch. The result is a holographic image that produces tactile feedback without any actual touching, and without degrading the image itself.
• How strong is your IP (Intellectual Property)?,
o Currently, Our IP portfolio consists of over 40 patents, copyrights and trademarks
o More than half are already issued
o Covers U.S., Europe, China and Australia; currently major markets for PVHO
o Patents usually go up to 20 years
o Core patents include optics, software and proprietary electronics
o We’ll be expanding our IP portfolio further in 2010
• What do you see as the shortfalls of tradition 2D display media?
o Two major shortfalls of today’s traditional 2D digital media displays
o First: Ubiquitous; they are everywhere, from gas pumps, to shopping malls, to grocery stores. Novelty gone. Low price 2D allow everyone to have a flat panel at home, so they’ve become invisible and ineffective out of the home.
o Second: Content. Most of the content displayed on traditional 2D is the same thing you can see at home: weather, news, traffic, recipes. Why pay attention when I can see the same thing at home.
o These 2 things contribute to a new disease called ‘Ad Blindness”.
• How does Provision’s 3D system address the ‘ad blindness’ caused by the ubiquity of outdoor display media? Any relevant case studies?
o Ad blindness is defined as conscious or subconscious ignorance of advertising due to “Irrelevance and vanilla design”
o PVHO addresses this by
o First, we are NOT vanilla, nor are we ubiquitous. There are no other 3D holographic images being projected in retail stores today. We see the world in 3D, but unfortunately, until now the world has only been using 2D high resolution flat panels. PVHO becomes the disruptive technology that everyone has been looking for since they first saw Star Wars back in 1977.
o Second, Provision’s content is very relevant to today’s consumer. We do not display news, weather, sports, stock updates. Our content is informative, engaging, interactive, and entertaining. There is tremendous variety in how we tell a story as a 3D hologram. Seeing a floating image inside a retail store is so compelling that it ultimately breaks through the clutter of everything else trying to capture your attention.
o Results? We’ve published a couple of case studies demonstrating how effective our 3D platform can be. In one survey,
• 88% said 3D enhanced the store experience
• 91% said they were motivated toward the product or brand
• 100% said 3D would boost their memory of the product or brand
* Based on your company's gathered data, what is the projected current market for your product?
o Current projected market in the digital out of home space is reported to be a $2.6 B market, as this is our first market channel for the product.
--> Outlook for the market, growth potential?
o Digital Out of Home market is projected to grow 13.2% per year, up to 4.53B by 2013.
• How has the market performed in the recession? One example is newspapers and the cost cutting measures they have undertaken, mostly suffering due to their reliance on advertising, How does this situation affect you?
o During 2008-2009, all industry reports show an increase in DOOH between 6-9%, the largest growth in all advertising segments.
o Newspapers have been in decline for years, mostly due to the success of the web, and the need for immediate information, so there is no surprise that print, in general, continues to struggle.
o Traditional advertising in television continues to struggle as consumers take advantage of their TIVO platforms trying to skip ads. So, during a prime time TV show like Idol or Dancing where you might expect 20M to 35M viewers per week in front of the TV – but missing the ads. In store, DOOH, by comparison, has 60M per week going through the front doors of all the Kroger grocery stores in the US. Advertisers want to reach the consumer in the most effective way possible, and its being demonstrated that IN-STORE is the place to be, since over 70% of the buying decisions are being made inside.
• What was the inspiration for the 3DEO Platform?
o Market Opportunity: Talking to retailers, Brand marketers, manufacturers, Advertisers – all trying to reach the consumer in a new unique way.
o Traditional Media losing audience; Marketing as we knew it was broken.
o Digital Media Platforms have been on the rise since their inception just a couple of years ago.
o 3DEO Platform solves these issues as well as provides immediate gratification to the consumer in a fun and entertaining way.
• What is a 3DEO Reward Center?
o 3DEO Reward Center is a (kiosk or terminal) destination inside the retail store, located right at or near the front entrance.
o Includes PVHO’s 3D holographic display on the top, with touch screens below for the consumer to interact with: coupons, promotions, sweepstakes, etc.
o Networked via computer, communicated via Internet; programmable remotely that can be changed every minute, hour, day, or whenever.
o In retail locations like casual dining or convenience stores, our 3D platform just consists of our 40 inch holographic screens by themselves, not integrating them into a kiosk solution. But the effectiveness and results are still the same.
• What can 3DEO do for brands 1) at the point of purchase and 2) from a branding perspective?
o Data shows that sales lift is one of the significant benefits of 3D and digital media, with sales lift from 12% to as high as 91%.
o In one study, 100% said 3D would boost their memory of the product or brand
• Describe 3DEO’s performance in its 27-store rollout in Fred Meyers Stores.
o Our market trial in Portland was quite successful in all aspects
o Coupon Redemption rates averaged 17% across all products with the highest single redemption rate of up to 43%; compared to published industry standards of 1.5%
o Attracted major Fortune 500 advertisers including P&G, Bayer, BIC, CBS, J&J, Unilever, and Warner Home Video
* From the latest 10-Q issued on 11/23/2009, revenues in 2009 were 54,419, down from 266,327 during the same period last year, what were the major causes of this sudden decline?
o Comparing the quarters from 2008 to 2009, it’s certainly attributable mostly to the world economic situation, as both our international hardware sales and domestic hardware sales have dropped off this year. (US credit freeze, and the strengthening of the US dollar, wiped out our international partners margins) All our distributors, reps, and their clients were tightening their belts to get through 2009’s crisis.
o We begun to transition our efforts from just selling hardware to launching our digital media platform, entering the trials in Portland, and educating the media world on the power of the forthcoming 3DEO platform.
* Looking at the latest Income Statement, there were 54,000 dollars made in revenue with 22,000 COG, thus leaving you with a gross profit of 32 thousand. The problem is that the R&D, and even more so the Selling, General and Admin were 47,000 and 474,000 respectively, trumping the revenue. It seems each 10-Q has had relatively the same story behind it, so how will you and your team plan to tackle this problem and thus change this ongoing pattern?
o There is no question that Provision knows how to run a company profitably as we’ve done successfully as a private company before going public.
o There is no question that Provision knows how to run a company on a very lean, zero-based budget. We’ve trimmed overhead to the lowest levels possible this year, as all companies have done to survive the world economic crisis, as we saw this coming towards the end of 2008.
o The immediate and current focus is to begin our return to profitability by redeploying our 27 3DEO kiosks into the LA market, maximizing our digital media revenues here in the #1 Hispanic market, and the #2 media market.
• What is 3DEO’s revenue model, and how do you plan to change it so that it becomes more profitable going forward? How much does each Reward Center generate?
• The 3DEO revenue model for our rewards centers is driven by three forms of revenue at the kiosk. First, we have 3D holographic ads on the top of the kiosk. Second, at the touch screens, we have coupons, promotions, giveaways and sweepstakes that advertisers pay for. And lastly, we have banner advertising on the bottom of the touch screens.
• Our Dual Station 3DEO platform can produce approximately $8,000 per store per month in total ad revenue. With a cost of installation of approx $13k, the maximum payback could be 2 months when fully deployed.
• Our Single Station 3DEO platform can produce approximately $2,500 per store per month in total ad revenue. With the cost of installation of approx $8,000, the maximum payback could be 3 months when fully deployed.
• These numbers make the 3DEO revenue model quite profitable when implemented in the top 10 and top 20 media markets of the country. The company did not anticipate any significant media revenues during our trials in Portland, which is ranked #24.
• By way of example: 1600 screens installed = 52M
• In discussions with major retailer, 5000 locations, = over 150M very profitable
• Please describe the planned rollout of 3DEO.
• PVHO has publically announced a total of over 1000 retail locations seeking to install either our 3DEO platform, or one of our 3D holographic screens.
• PVHO has also signed an additional 800 grocery store locations yet to be announced publically due to confidentiality limitations.
• Currently, the company is beginning to redeploy 27 3DEO kiosks in Southern California scheduled for the first quarter of 2010.
• The planned rollout will continue throughout the year focused on the implementation of the top 10 markets, followed by the top 20 markets. With input from advertisers, and several media agencies, PVHO will be leading the implementation starting in LA, NY, and Chicago – the top 3 markets.
• Who are you major partners
1) for 3DEO placement and for 2) 3DEO advertising sales
• Announced 47 Hispanic grocery stores in Southern California, 800 convenience stores in New York – both top 1 and 2 markets. The retail convenience stores are associated with major gasoline retailers like Shell, ExxonMobil, BP, and others.
• In advertising sales, we’ve announced contracts with major media buying agencies including Adcentricity and ad sales groups like LocalAdLink. Under confidentiality, we’re waiting to announce a recently signed contract with another major media buying agency.
• Further, due to confidentiality agreements, unfortunately, we cannot name names, however, we can represent that we have letters of intent from several Fortune 500 brands that are looking forward to joining the 3DEO platform as we continue our rollout, but have used them as very strong committed references for some of our investors.
--> You have partnerships with some of the wealthiest fortune 500 companies, of the likes including: Google, IBM, McDonalds, Intel, Kroger. These companies fund millions each year for new projects and developments, are you currently in talks to receive any of these bonuses which would help you achieve a more positive balance sheet, and thus ease your ongoing business operations?
• While PVHO has announced some very strong partnerships including Intel, Microsoft, Daihatsu/Toyota, Unisys, I can tell you that we are in discussion with several major companies regarding potential strategic investments that would open up market channels for projects and developments worldwide.
In your latest 10-Q it states, "Given our plans and expectation that we will need additional capital", do you feel positive that you may achieve this capital through a partnership funding rather than issuing shares thus diluting stockholder value?
o The company feels very confident that as we continue to successfully launch the 3D platform both domestically and internationally we’ll begin to cross over the threshold of options that will provide several alternative funding structures, both traditional and non-traditional. We are committed to maximizing shareholder value and minimizing dilution for everyone.
A lot of investors are worried with regards to the many warrants and secured promissory notes, some of which including the Company's 3DEO kiosks... Going forward, do you foresee more of these entering the company's financial stream?
• The last 18 months have been tough times for all companies around the world, and we’ve lost a lot of companies, large and small, high tech and low tech. PVHO has made some very difficult decisions given the capital markets, but we’ve been committed to survive 2009 and ready ourselves for a great future. Like most companies, the tough choices are the ones you’ve got to make to survive. Provision has survived, and that is one of our greatest accomplishments this year. It’s no secret; the capital markets have been tough. They are even tougher on companies like Provision. However, as bad as 2009 has been, we’ve rejected far more ‘bad’ structures than you can imagine. We’ve not been desperate and that has got us through. While we cannot foretell future structures, I can assure you that we are committed to getting the best financial structures for the company given the time and circumstances surrounding the particular situation.
--> On your advertisers page you list companies such as: Budweiser, BIC, Revlon and Disney... can you describe your connection to them?
• These companies and many other ones have been advertisers on our 3DEO platform
• What company in the display advertising space is comparable to Provision?
• First, there is no other 3D advertising network currently in retail
• Second, in the 2D display advertising space, there are a few large companies
• PRN – the Walmart TV network
• Care Media Network – doctors offices
• Captivate – office buildings
• National Cinemedia – movie theaters
• Zoom Media – bars, college campuses, gyms
--> What competitor analysis have you done, and please describe it.
• See competitors from 2 perspectives: 3D technology, and Digital Media companies
• We’ve seen and discussed current 2D digital media companies and we know who they are and what their strengths and weaknesses are.
• In 3D; we’ve evaluated the current and pending 3D technology platforms, and have continued to conclude that we remain unique and first to market in DOOH. While there are many ways to achieve 3D, as has been demonstrated over the last 50+ years, most technology based companies have taken a very traditional approach, from either using 3D glasses, or using traditional flat screens. While all very cool, they have their limitations. We chose a simpler path that was a little unconventional, resulting in a 3D holographic product, which continues to amaze our customers and consumers alike.
• Where would you like to see Provision in two years? In Five years?
• 2 years; deployed a minimum of 5000 locations in DOOH with revenues north of $150M
• 5 years; I’d like to see PVHO cross over from the out of home market to the home consumer market, where our technology could be the standard 3D holographic platform on all the game consoles and perhaps 3D TV without glasses.
• Clearly, we’ve got tremendous opportunities to cross over into many other market channels, like education, medical imaging, gaming, and more. So, we’re very excited about the future.
• If Provision were to be acquired, who do you see as a potential buyer?
• In media: Care Media, NCM, NBC/Comcast, Google
• In Technology: Samsung, Sony, LG, Cisco
• Home Consumer Market: Microsoft, Apple
As per Horse's concern; i hope they address the whole convertible debt on the CC. :)
CC NEXT WEEK :) So Looking forward to it.
You have got to love how this practically popped 20% on very little volume - Tuesday/wednesday - TO THE MOON!
Sorry to hear that Horse - it's either you're very optimistic this will go in your favor or pessimistic the CC doesn't flow so well - and the chances of that are I would say.....as unlikely as this hitting .06 - but hey you're call is my gain :)
News released this morning - haven't seen it gone public though.

Provision Holding Inc (OTC:PVHO) Releases New Data on 3DEO
Ft Lauderdale, Florida 12/04/2009 04:10 AM GMT (TransWorldNews)
Provision Holding, Inc. (OTC:PVHO) has announced that its subsidiary, Provision Interactive Technologies, Inc. has released new data regarding its 3D advertising platform, 3DEO™. 3DEO offers advertisers a unique way to advertise in store using Provision’s patented 3D holographic display.
Results from a recent test in twenty seven stores showed that the 3DEO is noticed five times more than 2D flat panels. 57% of consumers also were reported to recall the brand advertised on the display compared to the 24% recalled on 2D flat panels. Reports also show that sales were increased 46% and coupon redemption increased 800%, over industry standards, after the introduction of the 3DEO.
Good advice :) suggest it for the conference call.
You think that's what the conference call is about? What do you think of the Post-it up top? Do you not see advertisements as being a great mover for this stock?
Bulls or Bears at the end of the day we're here to make money !
Check out the Post It ABOVE :)
lol - welcome Andrei! 15 wouldn't cut it for you !!! Hey i posted the DD below did you see? Check it out !
Here's the article!
Provision Interactive Technologies Inc.
(Public, OTC:PVHO.OB)
MiV Investments Inc. has initiated an independent research report on Provision Holding Inc. Starting with the traditional wall paintings traced back from Indian rock art dating back to 4000 BC, out-of-home advertisements and billboards have dominated the main stream media, thus affecting the public’s opinions and buying habits for ages. Throughout the years, colours, images, logo designs and even programs used to generate these ads have continued to improve, yet one variable remained constant: The fact that they were, and always have been displaced in 2D. There have been advancements in technology, medicine, and science, and now, it’s time to introduce the next revolutionary innovation — 3D holographic, tactile advertising. Provision has set foot to make what once seemed impossible, possible. Movies and computer generated graphics will no longer be the only way to experience this amazing new technology. The future is here, now. Advertising has developed into a billion-dollar business. In 2006, 391 billion US dollars were spent worldwide for advertising. Driven by the waxing popularity of out-of-home lifestyles, and the ensuing effectiveness of outdoor media, the world market for outdoor advertising is projected to reach US$30.4 billion by the year 2010, meanwhile, in-store advertising accounts for just over 15 billion dollars.
Miv Investments Inc. has also confirmed a conference call with CEO, Curt Thornton, which is tentative for either 12/8/09, or 12/9/09 where a number of issues that have been raised by both institutional and private investors will be undertaken and answered. Questions may involving the following topics: debt-to-equity, revenue models, expected partnerships and deals, potential expos, gathered market data and effectiveness, competitor analysis to name a few. There are currently no financial news portals or promoters that MiV is aware of covering the company, therefore the potential could be extremely favourable given that external players foresee the short-term and long-term benefits. Provision looks set to begin generating revenues, ink partnerships and break new ground within the advertising industry throughout 2010.

Launching our first products into grocery stores, we have developed a new patent pending application. Known as the “3DEO Rewards Center” or “3DEO”, this ProVision device, also described as a kiosk or terminal, projects 3D video advertisements, promotions, and public service announcements; and allows consumers to print coupons as well as receive non-cash awards like sweepstakes. The 3DEO Rewards Center provides consumer product good (”CPG”) companies, along with other brands, marketers and advertisers with a new way of promoting their products at the point of purchase, where consumers are making seventy percent of their buying decisions.
We tested our concept in Fred Meyer Stores, a division of The Kroger, Co., installing 3DEO Centers in the Pacific Northwest. We received advertising placements from some of the largest manufacturers in the country, including Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, BIC and Kimberly Clark. The manufacturers’ will advertise through digital coupons that customers will receive from Provision’s 3DEO Media Centers.
In August 2009, the Company announced an extremely successful market test with Unisys Japan, and its Japanese distribution partner. As reported by Unisys, Provision’s 3DEO program resulted in “uncountable eye-catches “from various industries as the next generation of 3D digital signage.” Earlier in the year, Provision was named as one of the Top 10 companies at Infocomm 2009 as a significant technology trend of the year. Provision was also honored by digital media giant, Scala, for the “most innovative installation” in 2008.
During 2009, Provision announced the addition of former Apple CEO and current AT&T Director, Gil Amelio, to their Advisory Board. Additionally, Digital Media Industry executive, Lyle Bunn, was also named to Provision’s Advisory Board. Both of these additions have given the Company significant additional credibility in business, technology, and the digital media market.
We made two key announcements introducing Provision’s strategic alliances and partnerships with IBM, Microsoft, and Intel. As an Intel Capital portfolio company, Provision’s CEO, Curt Thornton, was invited to speak at the CEO forum held both in 2008 and 2009, sharing the Company’s 3D holographic product line, market launch, and company strategy to over 200 global CEO’s in attendance.
We plan to build, own, and operate networks of 3DEO Rewards Centers. In March 2008 we signed three-year agreements with several independent Hispanic grocery store chains to install 3DEO Reward Centers in 47 locations in southern California. In September 2008, we signed an agreement with the Long Island Gasoline Retailers Association (”LIGRA”) to install its patented 3D holographic displays in up to 800 member stores throughout New York. Provision’s displays will be located inside the independent convenience stores of major franchise gasoline retailers including Shell, ExxonMobil, Citgo, Sunoco, BP, Amoco and Gulf. As of September 30, 2009 the Company has announced a total of 1086 retail locations with signed contracts, with additional retail locations pending announcement.
We signed a five-year agreement with ADCENTRICITY, Inc. to sell advertising on our digital signage network. We also signed a letter of intent with LocalAdLink to support our local and regional advertising sales.
We will require significant additional funds to complete our business development. We cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.
We have a limited operating history upon which an investor can evaluate our business prospects, which makes it difficult to forecast our future operating results, in light of the risks, uncertainties and problems frequently encountered by companies with limited operating histories. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customers and market expertise, market conditions, sales, and marketing and governmental regulation.
Advertisers
Brand awareness – the Holy Grail of advertising. The true measure of success of an advertising campaign is validated by wide-spread recognition of the brand’s identity. Achieving that level of success comes from establishing and retaining control of the surroundings chosen to promote the messaging. Thanks to Provision’s leading-edge 3D holographic technology, advertisers now have unprecedented control over their marketing environment. Their 3D holographic systems enable consumers to see and hear all of your advertising, ensuring your messages will reach your target audience, essentially eliminating ad avoidance and partial messaging concerns. Provision’s proprietary 3D holographic display technologies afford advertisers unmatched ability to direct customized content to a target audience. Our innovative 3D digital video systems empower advertisers to increase brand awareness and influence consumers’ buying behavior by having them interact with products that are literally within arm’s reach of messaging. Provision’s interactive 3D holographic displays represent a quantum leap in effective retail advertising, combining sight, sound, and even smell to powerfully engage consumers at THEIR most CRUCIAL POINT OF DECISION MAKING. Through Provision’s state-of-the-art, interactive 3D holographic displays, advertisers can engage shoppers and enhance their in-store experience through targeted and effective messaging that creates demand through sensory awareness.
Technical Analysis
From a short-term perspective, the chart and stochastics provide a highly bullish sentiment. Back on 11/16/09, the 50MA and 200MA engaged in a golden cross, which is generally seen as one of the most bullish short-term technical indicators signalling an up-trend and a new support at the $0.175 price per share level. There also seems to be heavy buying pressure which has started during early November, and seems to have carried over, and increased into December maintaining this bullish run. This could be an indication of potentially pending news awaiting to go public, or investors feeling that the new year will bring renewed interest in the company. The RSI seems to have reached the top level at 70, where it is maintaining a strong support.
When looking at the long-term view, once quickly notices the significance of the resistances and the supports. Throughout this year, 0.3 has remained the significant, and pivotal point which needs to be broken in order to send the stock to a higher level. Back in January it tried, and failed, and it is now being tested once again, with even higher volume and buying pressure, in fact nearly double that in the last few days. The low $0.2s will continue to be the strong support level of the stock until it can maintain a healthy resistance at the $0.3 level and thus allowing it to push onwards towards the $0.4, $0.5 possible price per share levels. Volume and news will play a key role in the re-emergence of the company’s stock during 2010. Should the company see a positive turn in the balance sheet, increased revenues and partnerships, the $1.50 can be easily reached once again. MACD and EMA have also entered into positive territory, paving the way for a bullish sentiment.
