At my Walmart I noticed a couple corded mics had been sold and one of the $100 units. I couldn't tell if anything else was sold. At least there is some movement. The new products are at a higher price point than the toy section singing machines which were in the $50-60 range. This section has them at $100, $120, etc.
Your explanation of the prefunded warrants is the same as what was explained to me by an Aegis capital broker. I said it looked like they got a free share and he said no they paid for them and the company got the cash. And he said it's done that way to legally buy more shares.
I still have no idea how the price got pushed so low and how so many shares traded. And he would not venture a guess on that. I mean the price was much higher before when on the OTC.
They seem to say I'm their press release that the karaoke machine used to be sold in the toy section only. But I'm pretty sure I have seen it before in the the electronics space. However it was just on one or two shelves. They are big so you can't stock too many. Now it seems they own the whole 4;foot space up and down all the shelves. And that microphone assortment is new I'm pretty sure. I think they may have introduced one before. The microphones take up far less space, so you can stock more. And the podcast microphone is $40 and is a new product. I think that is going to be a good product because it will probably be higher margin and I know there is demand from gamers for a standing desktop microphone like that to talk with your friends. So they have a basic $10 microphone. A maybe wireless $20 microphone I think. And then the podcast mic for $40. And then the singcast karaoke is a brand new product I'm pretty sure. Type singcast in Amazon and you get nothing. So they probably made the deal so Walmart gets it first I'm guessing. Some of the products in the section were not singing machine branded. So I'm not sure what's going on there.
SMDM new product looks great and fills a niche at the youngest customer. Reviews look good so far. Looks like it would work well as a young childs gift.
TRCK (3.30) Any idea what's going on with TRCK? Looks like yesterday was the company meeting. I missed it. Not sure if today was a fat finger trade or there are good things happening.
SD 14.69 after hours perking up nicely. Maybe that article is driving it.
SMDM planning to uplist to Nasdaq in the next quarter or two. Probably requires a reverse stock split. Rid of the 51% Chinese investor that was keeping them from focusing on various expansions in the past. Added 8 long term aligned investors who want them to focus on being a public company. Possible new retailers. New products in the works. Their latest presentation sounded very positive. They did mention having challenges with supply chain so I'm not sure if there will be anything negative about that upcoming.
ZYXI Earnings out
Looks like they have gotten more profitable with $.17 diluted. Annualized that is $.68
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/zynex-announces-2021-third-quarter-200100552.html
I didn't look closely at the 10Q but one the surface looks like they have changed the profitability trend positive with $.17 diluted. Annualized that is $.68
For an annualized p/e of around 17-18 for a stock growing revenue at 70%. (not totally fair as first quarter is weaker)
They have hired a ton of salespeople so that has depressed the bottom line for a while, but now their new sales are finally hitting the bottom line. CEO has said they will hire slower and I think they cut non-producing salespeople so that probably helped the bottom line.
CEO says a fully ramped salesperson can generate $1M in revenue. Current # of sales reps is 450 and 550 is expected by the end of the year. That would have them top out at $450M to $550M in revenue versus the ~$115 TTM they have now.
"Our long-term goal is to fill all 800 territories in the U.S." so they plan to have 800 reps in the future.

Some negatives - alot of their sales are regular alkaline batteries and electrodes. I think they had hired a VP of sales that left so the culture isn't all that great. Hweb and KiK think they are crooks.
Great post Researcher59! What stood out to me in the Yardeni pdf is the PEG chart of the SandP 500 which is near it's historical low suggesting stocks may actually be cheap right now if you factor in growth.
Thanks!
KiK, Do you like TRCK down here at $2?
What is the Mtrt relationship?
KLYG (+293.31%) to 0.4350
What got into this stock?
SMDM used the private placement to swap out another big shareholder for Stingray https://finance.yahoo.com/news/singing-machine-announces-complete-stock-120000219.html
On their conference call it sounded like this year the retailers will be buying more from SMDM since they got good sell through.
Any thoughts on the quarter?
IRIX flips to positive net income on 116% yoy revenue growth. $0.09 earnings per share versus -$.20 for the quarter.
Achieved 116% Year-over-Year Revenue Growth and Record Cyclo G6 Probe Sales
Increases Full Year 2021 Guidance
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Iridex Corporation (Nasdaq: IRIX) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended July 3, 2021.
Second Quarter Highlights
Revenue of $13.4 million, highest since 2007, increased 116% from the prior year period, and 29% compared to second quarter 2019
Gross profit of $6.1 million, also a 14-year quarterly high, on gross margin of 45.5%
Cyclo G6® product family revenue of $3.6 million, an increase of 70% year-over-year
Record 16,000 Cyclo G6 probes sold, a 103% year-over-year increase
47 Cyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser Systems sold, compared to 42 in the prior year period
Retina product revenue nearly tripled year-over-year to $7.6 million
28% of revenue from PASCAL® products acquired from Topcon
Cash usage of $1.7 million leading to cash at quarter-end of $26.3 million
Paycheck Protection Program loan forgiveness of $2.5 million contributed to net income of $1.4 million
“Sales records this quarter demonstrate that Iridex is achieving new highs of performance, and we’re proud of the results our team has delivered,” said David I. Bruce, President and CEO of Iridex. “The measures we implemented more than a year ago to secure our business during the pandemic have enabled us to emerge even stronger today. We saw strength in both our glaucoma and retina markets, demonstrating the impact of our investments in sales and marketing, a broader distribution partnership, and product enhancements.”
Second Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Revenue for the three months ended July 3, 2021 increased 116% to $13.4 million from $6.2 million during the same period of the prior year. Excluding newly acquired PASCAL products, revenue increased 81% over the second quarter of 2020.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2021 increased to $6.1 million, a 45.5% gross margin, compared to $2.4 million, a 38.7% gross margin, in the same period last year. The gross margin increase was primarily attributable to the impact of production efficiency initiatives, greater overhead absorption due to higher revenue and continued increase in higher margin probes within the product mix.
Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 increased 40% to $7.2 million compared to $5.2 million in the same period of the prior year, mainly due to additional expenses related to PASCAL operations and higher level of business activities and investments compared to the prior year quarter that was greatly impacted by the pandemic.
The Company recorded a $2.5 million non-operating gain in Other Income, net, in the second quarter of 2021 in connection with the forgiveness by the U.S. Small Business Administration of the total outstanding amount of its Paycheck Protection Program loan.
Net income for the second quarter of 2021 was $1.4 million, compared to a net loss $2.8 million in the same period of the prior year. Net income on a per share basis was $0.09 in 2021 versus a loss of $0.20 in the second quarter of 2020.
Cash usage in the second quarter was $1.7 million, which resulted in cash of $26.3 million at quarter-end.
Updated Guidance for Full Year 2021
Iridex now expects total revenue for fiscal year 2021 to range from $50 million to $52 million, reflecting growth of 38% - 43% over fiscal year 2020. This compares to the previous range of $48 million to $51 million. Cyclo G6 probe sales are expected to increase to 58,000 to 60,000 from prior guidance of 56,000 to 59,000. Glaucoma Laser System sales expectation of 250 to 275 for 2021 remains unchanged.

Thanks for the insight
Does that mean they were behind on their corporate filings before the reinstatement? Because they've been giving updates on their business.
FTDL great results. If you look at Amazon people give them 4.5 on almost all their products. They make products people like.
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=firstime&ref=nb_sb_noss
TRCK, I got some a couple months ago at $1.35, thanks KiK. The quarter looked great.
PROM, I also dumped for a loss a year or so after they went dark.
I was finding it difficult to come up with picks I was excited about also.
OBCI 68% revenue increase
I'm guessing the bottom line will look pretty good this quarter.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ocean-bio-chem-inc-reports-130000368.html
VTSI - I also added. I like the quarterly results. The sector seems likely to have tailwinds. I don't think they would raise the amount of money they did without an opportunity ahead of them. And I like the backlog. The new buyers are in at $6 as hweb said.
MACE New palm stun device seems interesting. Should provide some growth.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/mace-r-releases-stunning-product-130000562.html
Looks like they have a unique form factor compared to the existing devices on the market. Could make it less likely to get knocked out of your hand.

APT. Well, this blows up my thesis. I had expected N-95 mask demand to remain high for another year as everything I read seemed to suggest that, yet the company is telling us they expect it to be materially weaker already.
TRCK now at $2.00. Congrats KiK
APT I have a high degree of confidence that the next earnings report is going to good and I expect the progress will be good. I wanted to sell some puts when it was around 16.50, but it moved up quickly. I think it could move into the 20s on earnings. I still have some put sells orders in place.
DTEA has been spiking. I exited.
APT - With the completion of the their phase 2 expansion I would expect them to make $1 per quarter share in earnings. Slap a pe of 10 and it should be at a conservative $40. Maybe the market will get excited and give them a pe of 15. I don't think the demand for N95 masks will moderate for a few years.
APT should easily be in the $20s just based on their current run rate which is rapidly expanding. I think once the 10k results come out in about a month they will be rerated higher.
ZYXI filing for a sepsis monitoring patent. I think that this could be a large new market.
Zynex Announces Filing of Patent for Sepsis Monitor
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Zynex, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, cardiac monitoring and neurological diagnostics, today reported it has filed for a provisional patent for a noninvasive sepsis monitor.
Zynex
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO of Zynex said: "Sepsis is one of the biggest problems in hospitals today. In the U.S. alone, over 1.7 million adults will develop sepsis annually with nearly 270,000 deaths as a result. Conventional patient monitors give insufficient advance warning of deteriorating patient health or the onset of potentially serious physiological conditions resulting from sepsis. A sepsis monitor that noninvasively measures patient condition and provides caregivers with an advanced warning or prediction of the onset of sepsis would be beneficial. A sepsis monitor may also be configured to provide or facilitate automatic intervention or treatment of sepsis and conditions resulting from sepsis. This sepsis monitor is capable of detecting potential sepsis in patients earlier than traditional methods, which has the potential to save lives. I believe the sepsis monitor will be a great complement to our CM-1500 Blood Volume Monitor, non-invasive detection of fluid balance in hospital settings."
Sepsis is a life-threatening medical condition characterized by the body-wide inflammatory response or reaction that presents in response to infection. The inflammatory response triggered by the immune reaction can cause body-wide tissue damage, even to areas not local to the original infection. Bacterial infections are the most common cause of sepsis, but sepsis can also be caused by fungal, parasitic, or viral infections. As an ineffectively treated infection progresses, toxins from the infection may circulate in the blood stream, causing damage to other organs (such as the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, etc.) and tissues. As the damage progresses, septic shock and a fatal decline in blood pressure may occur; patients with additional medical conditions and risk factors have increased likelihood of death.
Sepsis treatment spans multiple days to weeks, often in an intensive care environment and is detected through blood cultures, blood-gas analysis, kidney and other organ functional tests, platelet and white blood cell counts, additional imaging, urine testing, cerebrospinal fluid tests, etc.
The signs and symptoms of sepsis often may be subtle. The low survival rate of patients with severe sepsis indicates that current sepsis identification strategies, tools, and methods may be lacking.
IVFH superduper investor is talking it up on Twitter
I sold
https://mobile.twitter.com/search?q=%24ivfh&src=typed_query
Ya, I also am down bigley on my purchases. I like what the company is doing. They're making their sales and development process scalable, providing alot of value and an easy entrypoint for new users with easy upsells as the user gets more traffic. So as long as they can return profitability and aren't lying to us I think they will do well.
SEAC has already traded at around 10x average volume midday. Congrats to any buyers
PDEX Anyone have insight into the big drop in PDEX today on high volume? They recently registered a shelf offering. Could they be raising money for an acquisition? Are those shelf offerings usable immediately after registration?
