I see the news coming out faster and faster and it all looks positive. Sales are the most important thing. People are just starting to order products with CBD and Hemp oil. As the reviews for products come in the results will speak for themselves. People just want options when it comes to controlling their own health. It is a positive sign when you can make healthy choices about the everyday products that you use and then turn around and buy them on Amazon and have them delivered in a matter of days. This is just the beginning. Every company that enters into a brand new space has obstacles to overcome. The company may have had some bad management, but they are pushing forward and it looks like they have a great plan. I am actually excited to try some of these items myself.
I love that the CEO is continuing to speak out to investors. The interview is very informative and gives a lot of information about current sales. These grenades have advantages over other grenades that make them clearly superior in the market. Literally every type of law enforcement agency needs to use this technology.
Lamperd Less Lethal $LLLI Receives Fourth Large Order From Major Distributor Which Is 500% Larger Than First!!!!!!!!!!
SARNIA, ON--(Marketwired - Sep 13, 2016) - Lamperd Less Lethal, Inc. ( OTC PINK : LLLI ) has now received a fourth purchase order from Lockhart Tactical (http://www.lockharttactical.com/), which is 25% larger than the previous order announced on August 6th (500% larger than each of the first two orders). This latest order has been fully paid to Lamperd with delivery planned by the end of October or sooner. Lockhart Tactical has informed Lamperd that their customers find the Lamperd product line to be of highest standards in terms of manufacturing quality, reliability and versatility for a wide range of police and other security applications.
Lamperd is also anticipating other significant orders to be placed in the near future for a number of different product types. Further announcements will be made as new orders are received.
When it comes to these types of products, they may need to be customizable for law enforcement and forensics situations? Just my guess on why the orders are prepaid?
Does anyone know anything about the sales team for Lamperd. Lockhart is a good start. Are they aggressively growing their team?
You can't fluff a PR too much. They made the sale and they reported it. Bottom Line!!!
I agree with greendolphin11 - this stock has moved fast in the past and has the potential to do it again.

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 11, 2016) - Innovus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., ("Innovus Pharma" or the "Company) www.innovuspharma.com (OTCQB: INNV), a company focusing on the commercialization of over-the-counter ("OTC") and consumer products for men's and women's health, vitality and respiratory diseases, announced today the signing of a definitive asset purchase agreement with Beyond Human, LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Beyond Human") to acquire in cash substantially all of the assets of Beyond Human, for a cash purchase price of $630,000.
Beyond Human is best known for its natural Testosterone Booster supplement Beyond T Human®, and its natural Human Growth Agent HGA®, among other products. According to Beyond Human, its sales, which are concentrated in the U.S., have been growing at a rate of just under 50% per year for the last few years. In 2014, Beyond Human had over $1.3 million in gross revenues and approximately $300,000 in net profits and in 2015 it had over $2.2 million in gross revenues and approximately $400,000 in net profit.
The Company believes that the immediate benefits to Innovus Pharma of the Beyond Human transaction is:
1. Triple the Company's aggregate annual revenues to close to $4.0 million;
2. Move the Company faster to becoming cash flow positive;
3. The Beyond Human products acquired could generate alone for the Company over $3 million in gross revenues and over $600,000 in net profits once fully integrated into the Innovus platform over the next few years;
4. A total of 6 new Beyond Human products acquired that can be sold through the Company's numerous international distributors; and
5. Leverage Beyond Human's on-line platform and large database of thousands of customers that would assist the Company in expanding sales of its current products such as EjectDelay®, Sensum+® and Vesele® among others.
According to the Bloomberg Business and the Statista Portal, the U.S. testosterone replacement market is very large and has grown from $1.6 billion in 2011 to $2.4 billion in 2013 and is expected to hit $3.8 billion in 2018 with products from companies such as AbbVie, Inc., Eli Lilly & Co. and others. Testosterone treatments are provided through gels, patches and injections. According to the National Institutes of Health, in 2016 about 5 million American men don't produce enough of the hormone.
"I am incredibly proud of my team to be able to accomplish such a transformative acquisition as we continue on our path to move to a cash flow positive situation followed by profitability and we believe that this acquisition will move us quickly towards that goal," said Dr. Bassam Damaj, President and Chief Executive Officer of Innovus Pharma. "With this acquisition, we will have a total of 14 products now in the fields of men and women health and we believe that Innovus Pharma will become a strong player in this category," continued Dr. Damaj.
Details of the acquisition can be viewed on the Company's filing with the SEC at sec.gov. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close on or before the end of February 2016. Beyond Human, LLC was represented by Steve Sharp and Maggie Pound from First Choice Business Brokers.

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - March 01, 2016) - CloudCommerce, Inc. (CLWD), a provider of advanced e-commerce services to leading brands, today commented on reports that Target Corporation, the second largest retailer in the US, increased online sales by a remarkable 34 percent in Q4 2015.
Target's online holiday gains, which includes their aggressive free shipping and buy online / pick up in store offerings, outpaced recent e-commerce sales gains for Target's chief rival, Walmart, and other major retailers. Walmart's online gains for the fourth quarter were reported as 8 percent, closer to the National Retail Federation reports of 9 percent increases for the US retail industry overall.
With 34 percent growth in its digital sales during the 2015 fourth-quarter holiday season, Target shows that it is gaining momentum in its attempt to establish itself as a more serious player in the e-commerce category. The big-box retailer is likely to respond by establishing a stronger foothold in e-commerce sales as a way to stay competitive and responsive to customer demand. As reported in the Washington Post, the growth accounted for just 5 percent of Target's total sales for the fourth quarter, but nearly doubled the 2.7 percent share of their online sales for the spring 2015 quarter.
"Consumers in the US and worldwide are increasingly seeking more efficient ways to get products and services from the retailers they trust, "said CloudCommerce CEO Andrew Van Noy. "This new report from Target demonstrates that the e-commerce industry is gaining momentum, and further validates our company's growth strategy and plans to help our customers successfully compete in the rapidly growing e-commerce arena."

CloudCommerce Reports Over 500% Increase in December 2015 Quarterly Revenue Over Same Quarter in 2014
Company Files First Consolidated Quarterly Report After Executing Growth-by-Acquisition Strategy
Marketwired CloudCommerce, Inc.
February 12, 2016 3:00 AM
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - February 12, 2016) - CloudCommerce, Inc. (CLWD), a provider of advanced e-commerce services to leading brands, announced the filing of its first quarterly report after the recent acquisition of Indaba Group, with consolidated revenue showing dramatic improvement over the previous year-over-year quarter.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, revenue was $778,075, an increase of 524% compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2014, which was $126,203. The bulk of the increase came from the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Indaba Group, based in Denver, CO, which began to contribute revenue after the acquisition closed on October 1, 2015.
"Our Indaba Group acquisition contributed significant top line revenue to the Company, and we're very pleased with these results," said Andrew Van Noy, CloudCommerce's CEO. "The e-commerce industry is experiencing tremendous growth right now and we are excited to be a part of it. For the first time in history, Black Friday 2015 had more online sales than traditional retail sales in malls and stores. The battle for customers, revenues and profits has forever moved online. Our plan is to aggressively increase our internal growth, as well as acquire other profitable e-commerce service providers to capture market share and become a dominant player in the industry."
E-commerce has been reported to be one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. According to market research firm eMarketer, global consumers will spend $1.672 trillion online this year, and by 2019, online purchases are projected to more than double to $3.551 trillion, which will include roughly 12.4% of overall retail sales. CloudCommerce has previously announced its plans to grow by making acquisitions similar to its purchase of Indaba Group that will prove to be highly accretive to both top- and bottom-line financial results. The strategy mirrors that used by many other successful information technology firms, such as PFSweb Inc., Perficient Inc., and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation.

SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - January 27, 2016) - CloudCommerce, Inc. (CLWD), a provider of advanced e-commerce services to leading brands, today commented on reports that Wal-Mart is closing 269 stores. For the company whose original growth engine was the big box store located in rural locations, the Wall Street Journal described the pivotal move as "rare", and a further signal that online shopping is becoming more of a focal point for the retail industry giant.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. CEO Doug McMillon announced that the world's largest retailer would make an assessment of its fleet of stores and aim to become more nimble in order to handle increased competition from all fronts, including from their rival Amazon.com. Wal-Mart will now focus on supercenters, Neighborhood Markets, the e-commerce business, and mobile pickup services for shoppers. Wal-Mart has accelerated the development of its online grocery pick-up system, having observed that customers who buy groceries online spend roughly 50% more than comparable customers who shop only in the physical retail stores. Wal-Mart's global e-commerce sales growth in Q3 2015 was nearly 10%, reportedly due to challenges in international markets, but Wal-Mart expects stronger growth as it progresses on it's e-commerce focus.
In equally significant related news, Wal-Mart is reportedly Among the Top Companies Posting Jobs For Software Developers, on par with Amazon and other tech industry giants. In October, Oracle, Amazon, and Microsoft, made up four of the top five companies advertising for app developers, but Wal-Mart wasn't far behind. Clearly Wal-Mart intends to compete with Amazon's e-commerce dominance, thus attracting software developer talent would be instrumental in doing so. Available jobs for app developers rose 21% in the period between 2010 and 2015, as mobile app enthusiasm increased and as more retailers invested in mobile technology. From July to October of 2015 alone, Wal-Mart more than tripled its job postings for app developers.
"Wal-Mart's recent actions demonstrate that it is only becoming more difficult to operate a traditional brick-and-mortar retail presence in this day and age," said CloudCommerce CEO Andrew Van Noy. "They are clearly feeling the competitive pressure from all the more nimble online merchants who are doing such a great job these days. This should serve as a very important reminder to all online merchants that they must stay on their toes in order to compete. When such a large industry giant makes moves like this we absolutely must pay attention. This definitely strengthens our position and our business model as we continue to provide advanced e-commerce services to leading brands."
E-commerce remains one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. According to market research firm eMarketer, global consumers will spend $1.672 trillion online this year, and by 2019, online purchases are projected to more than double to $3.551 trillion, which will include roughly 12.4% of overall retail sales worth $28.550 trillion. CloudCommerce has previously announced its plans to grow by making acquisitions similar to its purchase of Indaba Group that will be highly accretive to both top- and bottom-line financial results.

CloudCommerce Observes Favorable Holiday Results for E-commerce Industry
Surge in Consumer Holiday Shopping and Continued Growth in Business to Business E-commerce Sector Exceed Industry Expectations
Marketwired CloudCommerce, Inc.
January 5, 2016 3:00 AM
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - January 05, 2016) - CloudCommerce, Inc. (CLWD), focused on building and maintaining powerful e-commerce stores for leading brands, today reviewed several industry reports showing a successful holiday season for the e-commerce industry.
MasterCard (MA) reported that U.S. retail sales grew by a solid 7.9% this holiday season, fueled by strong online sales and demand for furniture and women's apparel. Online sales alone grew 20% in the holiday season this year.
Amazon (AMZN) shipped to 185 different countries this holiday season, and announced that three million new members worldwide joined Prime during the third week of December alone. The company's Prime Now service, which promises two-hour deliveries, was reportedly taking online orders until 11:59 pm on Christmas Eve. Slice Intelligence said that Amazon accounted for 35.7% of all Black Friday Sales, with Best Buy (BBY) second at just 8.2% and Macy's (M) third at 3.4%.
According to Slice Intelligence, which tracks receipt data from U.S. online shoppers, Wayfair (W), the Boston-based home goods e-tailer, saw the largest increase in Black Friday sales, year-over-year, of any online retailer. Wayfair's Black Friday sales were reported to be 315% higher than during Black Friday 2014, with a 130% increase in direct-retail sales.
Around the globe, major growth can be seen emerging in the business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce sector. Inspired by the tremendous success of Alibaba (BABA), the Indian government is reportedly working to establish a massive international B2B e-commerce hub for importing and exporting. Several features of Alibaba's online portal are expected to be incorporated into this new project. Alibaba has made major moves to tap into the Indian B2B market, launching programs like SMILE to provide one-stop solution for all Indian SMEs (which include shipping, finance, mentorship and more), and by signing a memorandum of understanding with the Confederation of Indian Industry to facilitate greater economic cooperation among Indian and Chinese vendors.
Chinese growth continues. A study done by iResearch revealed that online shopping and B2B e-commerce drive roughly 53% of China's 3rd-party online payment sector. The e-commerce sector in China has seen a substantial increase in online shopping and B2B e-commerce gross merchant volume, with online shopping capturing 25% of online payments in Q2 2015, followed in turn by fund purchase at 21.5%, air travel ticketing at 10.9%, payment for telecom fees at 3.9%, B2B e-commerce at 6%.

"We believe that this is the right time to be implementing our growth-by-acquisition plan," said CloudCommerce CEO Andrew Van Noy. "Our recent acquisition of Denver-based Indaba Group will allow us to offer services to both the business-to-consumer merchants and business-to-business merchants. Looking at the past year in review, we are pleased with the steady progress we see on all fronts. As we look forward to 2016, we aim to aggressively increase the number of customers that regularly depend on us for e-commerce services by acquiring other rapidly growing e-commerce service providers."
E-commerce is reportedly one of the fastest-growing industries in the world. According to market research firm eMarketer, global consumers will spend $1.672 trillion online this year, and by 2019, online purchases are projected to more than double to $3.551 trillion, which will include roughly 12.4% of overall retail sales worth $28.550 trillion. According to Fitch Ratings' 2016 U.S. retail outlook, e-Commerce will account for 15% of total retail sales and 50% growth in total retail spending in 2016.

CloudCommerce Comments on $3.5 Trillion Global E-Commerce Forecast
Recent Report From Market Research Firm eMarketer Outlines Five-Year Potential Growth for E-Commerce Industry
Marketwired CloudCommerce, Inc.
December 15, 2015 3:00 AM
SANTA BARBARA, CA--(Marketwired - December 15, 2015) - CloudCommerce, Inc. (CLWD), focused on building and maintaining powerful e-commerce stores for leading brands, today commented on a recently released industry report that global e-commerce purchases are expected to exceed $3.5 trillion by 2019.
A ccording to market research firm eMarketer, worldwide consumers will spend $1.672 trillion online this year, and by 2019, eMarketer projects online purchases will more than double to $3.551 trillion, which will comprise approximately 12.4% of overall retail sales of $28.550 trillion.
Intense pricing competition among Amazon.com, Wal-Mart, and other leading online merchants is also helping fuel e-commerce growth in the U.S. The United States is projected to maintain its position as the second-largest retail e-commerce market in 2018, reaching an estimated $500 billion that year.
The Asia-Pacific market is growing faster than any other region, at a rate of 35.2% per year. It is estimated that much of that growth will come by way of consumers in rural areas accessing e-commerce stores from mobile devices. China is anticipated to exceed $1 trillion in retail e-commerce sales by 2018, accounting for more than 40% of the total worldwide.
In the UK, more than 73% of the population will make a purchase online this year. E-commerce accounts for 13.0% of total retail sales in the UK, a metric higher than any other country. This high degree of e-commerce shopping ranks the UK as the third-largest e-commerce market worldwide.
"This report from eMarketer is very exciting news for our industry," said CloudCommerce CEO Andrew Van Noy. "We see this as further evidence that our company is operating in an incredibly large market. We can gain a better understanding from this report as to which regions and specializations we should focus on in our growth-by-acquisitions strategy. As our industry continues its exceptionally rapid growth, we plan to acquire other rapidly growing e-commerce service providers. We intend to provide our customers with all the tools they need to compete in the worldwide e-commerce market."

Because the fingerprint technology is not that exclusive anymore. Look at the charts for RXSF - they only have the fingerprint reader on a safe and they are growing like crazy. It is time to face the facts and be honest about where this is heading.
Here is the CNBC article some of you missed: "Unlike the virtual and augmented reality gear of bigger players that focus on gamers and entertainment, small firms like Vuzix and Atheer make headsets used at work."
How smaller VR players can compete with big tech

Some of you might like to see the latest CEO interview with Paul Travers http://ceolive.tv/vuzi-virtual-reality-innovator-to-roll-out-next-gen-smart-glasses/

Is there anyone left out there that has been holding on to this for 6-7 years or more maybe? I have a feeling that something might happen this year with China because of the need for alternative energy technology there. Has anyone heard anything from this management since October and the deal with the Chinese University?
Does anyone know how to change the category here on iHub for this ticker from Real Estate to something more appropriate?
Does anyone know how to change the symbol on the board here on iHub from NNDMY to NNDM?
It looks like news should be coming soon on this one. The company needs to focus on getting their story in front of more investors.
What amazes me is that no one is talking about the Powder River Basin Oil and Gas project??? Has anyone looked at a map to see the other land deals and drilling projects around there? There is a reason that international companies are offering bond deals in this area at such a large price. Because they have to be sitting on reserves worth 10 times that. At least. They call it a fragmented oil field, but this is an understatement.
I think this bond offering will bring in more international investors and take this over a penny fast.
$SBES - After the CEO"s last video interview, I think news will be coming this week or next week. IMO
$VHMC is on fire right now!!! Up 72%+ right now!! OMG - it is happening. Early bird caught the worm here!!!
Well, it looks like whoever had the shell before the current management were very sleezy.
We got some volume today. I think when the company uplists, it will get in front of more eyeballs.
Well obviously no PR was released. IJJP is being thrown around a lot with other deals right now too. It would be good to have some kind of update about what is going on here.
It looks like Bio-key is finally making things happen in the biometrics market. 2016 will be the year that everything turns around for management and all these deals should lead to real revenue.
Just chatted with the Bio-key IR rep on twitter. I got an immediate response and answer to my questions. @BIO_KeyIR -- I asked about a time frame on the R/S or plans... This was the reply:
BKYI will pursue reverse split @ higher share price if & only if it meets all Nasdaq listing criteria. No R/S requirement.

$SBES South Beach Spirits Provides Corporate Update
October 26, 2015 6:12 PM
WESTON, FL--(Marketwired - Oct 26, 2015) - South Beach Spirits, Inc. (OTC PINK: SBES) ("South Beach Spirits" or the "Company"), an alcoholic beverage development, marketing, and distribution holding company, today provided this update regarding its current and future business outlook.
On October 19, 2015, the Company was served with a pro se legal action filed by Victor G. Harvey, Sr. and his limited liability company, V Georgio Enterprises, LLC, in Circuit Court, Broward County, Florida, alleging certain breaches of the Company's payment obligations under an Asset Purchase and related agreements entered into with the Company as disclosed in connection with the previously announced acquisition of the V Georgio vodka brand, and Mr. Harvey's employment as CEO of V Georgio, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company formed to relaunch the brand. The complaint purportedly seeks, somewhat inconsistently, injunctive relief for damages incurred by the plaintiffs as a result of such alleged breaches. Contemporaneously with filing the action, Mr. Harvey resigned as CEO of V Georgio, Inc. and the resignation was immediately accepted by the board of directors. Mr. Harvey will have no further role with the Company.
The Company believes that the plaintiffs' claims are without merit, that it has various defenses and potential counterclaims against the plaintiffs, and it will vigorously defend this action including the breach by the plaintiffs of their representation warranties as to the free and clear status of the assets purchased by the Company thereunder and the absence of judgments against the plaintiffs.
Vincent Prince, CFO of South Beach Spirits, Inc., commented, "Based upon Mr. Harvey's legal actions, resignation, and his inability to address critical previously undisclosed brand and asset ownership issues, we are not moving forward with the planned relaunch of V Georgio."
"Going forward we remain committed to building South Beach Spirits into a market leader in the alcoholic beverage industry and continue to focus our attention on acquiring established and performing brands and companies in the space. With this strategy in mind, we are currently in advanced discussions regarding the potential acquisition of a controlling interest in several going concerns that have inventory, production, and sales and distribution, including a state-of-the-art distillery operation in South Carolina and a premium tequila brand based in South Florida."

On the bright side - when news hits maybe this week or next week... There will be some happy people who bought at this dip. We all know that news is coming and they are just finalizing deals.
I agree. I think I started following this company 7 years ago - maybe before that. After all this time and all these patents, bla bla bla... The price is still .002 - This is hilarious. How can this company still exist? I don't get it!!! If it hasn't happened - it will never happen!!! I feel bad for the longs.
