From a technical analysis standpoint what comes into play is how the AI integration relates to the proprietary SWARM software. The result can be a more effective and efficient end solution.
Yes... it has been trading in an orderly fashion which in most cases is a sign of continued upward movement.
Hey MikeD... I was disappointed to see your post referencing a competing stock message board being deleted and I guess it's understandable that IHUB would be sensitive to it. That being said it certainly does emphasize the magnitude of the attention CLWD is getting now. The growing number of daily followers on the other board is tremendous and it was good strategy on your part to point this out even though the post didn't stay too long. I to my friend am looking forward to what 2021 will bring and patience will be key.
Nothing but the best to you my friend as well. When a company begins to get this level of attention additional aspects start coming into play that just doesn't represent share price investment but also additional potential customer investment attention regarding their services that goes hand in hand with their latest PR. I definitely see additional business being generated equating to additional future revenue as a result of all the exposure now.
Well, my fellow CLWD investors how does it feel to have the spotlight shining brightly on this once hidden gem? The embers have finally ignited and the best part is CLWD management hasn't even begun to fan the flames. 2021 is going to be epic. With this level of exposure now, increase money flow levels should keep the share price ascending on a consistent basis over the extended period with healthy pullbacks (those gaps need to be filled) demonstrated over the last two trading days. Enjoy the ride!
It was a bit of an obscenely astronomical day... wasn't it
I have found over the last 9 months while being a contributor to this board those who have accumulated positions like yourself, longs that have posted frequently to this board, have come across as very savvy investors with upward measurable degrees of integrity. Making the occasional outlandish post from some occasional stray easy to dismiss. The best part of this breakout is the fact you're all getting your just rewards and I can't think of a group more deserving.
There have been a lot of positive aspects related to CLWD's fundamental position being posted frequently on this board. The manipulative accumulation has been the only factor holding this back. The culmination behind this intent was to eventually let it run. 2021 should definitely reflect some significant gains.
The charts say it all--MA are indicators for the "HERD". As far as standard market measurements go regarding major indices we're undervalued. When factoring in OTC land we're way, way, way undervalued.
Nothing like a little pre-market life to get the trading day started off on a good note.
Over the last three months the 200 Day MA has proven to be a strong support level. Taking into consideration management did nothing to help keep it there. Specifically speaking: realization of June PR’s being for the purpose of note conversion; Oct. 22nd 8K stating securities purchase agreement--the selling of a self-amortization promissory note; less than expected revenue total for 3rd quarter; and missing stated deadline for new website. WAR mentioned he received a number of PM’s from longs with sizable positions that sold motivated in part I’m sure by the above mentioned. The fact CLWD didn’t retrace further knowing the typical trading reaction in OTC land to negative news I believe is further testament to the “HUNCH”—(an organized accumulation by large entities in coordination with the company’s obvious efforts to keep the share price suppressed.)
Looking ahead I’ll be focusing in on a number of different factors:
Quarterly revenue figures—is the 4th quarter revenue number consistent with Qtr 3? And if so, is there some credence to Mr. Van Noy’s comment implying the factoring in of Covid having a direct negative effect on CLWD’s revenue total. If the numbers turn out to be better than expected maybe the lag was due to the billing format conversion based on SWARM being available in full SaaS?
Recently members of the CLWD board have posted comments they’ve received from management. Mr. Boden’s comment was based on the intent of being in position to up-list. Essentially stating the initiative is relevant and plan is in place to accomplish this objective. Mr. Jerry Hug (Director of Operations) stated a significant update is in the not-to-distant future. I think it’s wise to recognize part of the company’s incentive is based on the executive and employee options criteria. The fact the options are being vested over a 36 month period is certainly motivation for the company to keep the dream alive over an extended period.
The timing of 2021 PR’s and how substantive are they? Are they fluff or information actually leading to measurable growth benefitting the company. If they’re fluff and volume increases with share price appreciation the “HUNCH” over the last several months will certainly be revealed indicating the “powers that be” are behind the wheel ready to dictate direction. For those whose trading preferences are shorter term keep in mind this will probably cause more retracement after each spike than if the news results represented a more significant revenue growth outcome. For the longer term investor I would think the chart will be shaping up nicely depicting a steady consistency of higher lows. CLWD is providing services in an industry that is huge and will be growing by leaps & bounds heading into the future. They do have a customer base and a revenue stream that is very respectable for a company trading on the OTC. These dynamics alone should provide plenty of air to keep the share price ascending leading to the criteria being met qualifying for the OTCQB.
Taking into account the “HUNCH”, as well as meaningful upcoming news and executive/employee gains from share price growth I would have to be in agreement with some of the investors on this board that a perfect storm is forming and the potential for a possible parabolic move is definitely in the works. Factoring in the examples playing out in the “OTC land of pure speculation” over the last couple months representing companies who’s fundamentals pale in comparison to CLWD’S I would think the potential of our climb could be obscenely astronomical.
I haven’t been affiliated with the company as long from an investment standpoint compared to a lot of those who post on a regular basis to this board. I was fortunate enough to time my entry and accumulate the majority of my position just before the June spike. Before I did this I spent a couple months going over the information the company made available as well as reading the IHUB CLWD message board faithfully. Based on everything I’ve been able to absorb over the last nine months and the tendencies displayed by management I really feel there’s going to be several different factors coming into play serving as the catalysts as we head into 2021.
I know some time ago “Sello” used the reference “cancel culture” in one of his many well thought out posts and he touched on to some degree the way the company may be viewed due to their past affiliations in connection to the 2016 presidential election and I know this has been in the back of a lot of people’s minds on this board. One of the reasons I invested in CLWD wasn’t based on the political dynamic but rather the company being kept and elbows being rubbed due to this involvement which is in direct touch with the business/corporate world. What great exposure to those entities capable of moving the share price in an extreme way when the time comes. Instead of repeating what “WAR” stated perfectly I’ll just post his thoughts because I’m in total agreement with him—“IMO someone large, group, hedge, someone that knows news is coming and the company is allowing them to add shares sub penny. The company has imo been quite for one reason and one reason only and that is to allow someone to accumulate shares. I'm 99% sure these are very large operators at work here and once they are done and the mark up phase starts it's all over buying on the bid.”
I believe management just like in June will have a hidden agenda based on PR’s released with the primary reason being the executive and employee options. I know it’s a large number of shares but the orchestration of it with it being vested over a 36 month period will serve as another upward share price catalyst as news is released. As “Sello” put so well—“Their greed = your gain. That's usually how it works around here.” Staged inducement has more influence in driving the price of a stock in the OTC arena than any other factor investors look at in terms of typical market valuation measurements. The most important element with CLWD in the evaluation process as this happens is the significance of the news and will the results be substantial enough (future revenue growth) to keep the share price appreciating as the float increases over time.
One important factor I've learned through decades of investing is when it comes to "value" it's best that it be directed towards share price as opposed to judgments. Case in point being CLWD heading into next week. Friday's action should dictate further downward movement--meaning if you're able to obtain shares at those levels you'd be looking at a 150 to 200% gain at a 1X's price-to-sales ratio. That's the type of value to be tuned into when it comes to investing.
I haven't accumulated shares for awhile but since it did breech the 200 day MA today I'm anticipating more of the longs that have sizable positions to vacate over the next couple weeks since some have put emphasis on the new website being launched prior to the turn from fall to winter. Lack of news may stimulate this action and if it does get in the 4's I'll be right there with you adding to my position.
A lot of Tech companies have migrated to the state of Texas and I believe Austin is referred to as "Silicon Hills" these days. If what CLWD has established is unique enough you can never ignore the possibility of interest being directed their way and an offer being presented being too good to pass up.
"will continue to buy more down here in the 4 and 5s." You'll more than likely have opportunities over the next two weeks to accomplish this objective. Management has been defiant in releasing any news of substance that might spur upward momentum and they seem to have gone to some lengths to discourage investors. The consistency of their approach over the last six months makes me suspicious, as WAR has implied, there could be some ulterior motive on their part to keep the share price suppressed. So, I would be very surprise if we do get any news related to the company until we get into 2021.
Well said JoJr... very sound strategic perspective with this type of holding.
No doubt... at these levels just from a value investment standpoint it's a no brainer to have a million plus share position.
do they usually keep to their word?
In a June 16th PR Andrew Van Noy CEO stated the following:
CloudCommerce, Inc. (CLWD), a leading provider of digital advertising solutions, today announced that it now expects 2020 full year revenue to exceed $14 million and net operating income to exceed $1 million. Management’s confidence to provide guidance was driven primarily by contracted revenue from its existing client base and new clients added within the last few months.
Shortly after when the share price spiked based on the PR--note conversions for past securities purchase agreements took place on June 18,24 & 26 confirmed by 8k's filed with the SEC.
After the 3rd Qtr 10Q revenues for the year are at $8,019,804 meaning Mr. Van Noy would have to pull a rabbit out of his hat in the 6M+ range for the last quarter. It is possible over the last several months SWARM has been available in full SaaS version and the conversion has caused a lag in revenue posting due to the switch from hourly/monthly charges of fixed or variable implementation fees to a recurring subscription revenue model as a self-service SaaS platform would create.
I live in a sizable home nestled in the pines with lots of glass and to this point even on those rare days when I've indulged a little too much in my favorite libation I've yet to see a pig fly past one of the large windows. So... you won't catch me holding my breath.
Everyone on this board who has read my posts are well aware of the fact I'm banking on the technology that's been developed. Is Mr. Van Noy an A to C to B to D type of CEO? Possibly. But, during my time within the software industry I've seen situations where the effectiveness of the product that's been developed has overcome the obstacle of a weak management group. The people in the trenches doing all the hands on work in the developmental procedure implementation phases have more to do with whether it's going to succeed or not.
Who knows maybe Mr. Van Noy is a huge Seinfeld/George Costanza fan and falls along the lines of those individuals who take to heart one of the characters famous sayings--"It's not a lie if *You* believe it."
Only time will tell.
Congrats Marinokv! On sticking to your longer term accumulation strategy. Welcome to the seven figure club.
Warfaretrader--the "Guru" of moving averages explained things succinctly in his previous post.
I would think the majority of people who invest in the OTC arena based on its long history, if honest with themselves, know better than to totally commit to any information without first taking in a few grains of salt. That being said… part of the appeal investing in such murky depths go hand in hand with the “Pie In The Sky” illusions which do permeate throughout the land.
Warfaretrader is obviously a seasoned investor and it’s a benefit to this board to have him take time to honestly point out all the potential trappings of any company trading at these levels. It's information that can be formulated when an investor feels a stock is reaching a critical stage on whether it should be held or sold.
My own personal assessment of CLWD at this stage is heavily weighted towards SWARM being developed into full SaaS. Is all the information implying this move provided by the company at this point all hype? There lies the million dollar question and something each individual has to ask themselves. Based on my exposure I’m familiar with what goes into the conversion and well aware of the many variables that can arise as part of the process. The amount of time it’s taken to this juncture isn’t unreasonable when you factor in the current developmental phase of the company. If this was a company trading on a major exchange with plenty of funding and skilled engineers at their disposal it would certainly take less time. The flip side being… you wouldn’t have the opportunity to buy shares under a penny and that’s part of what underlies the “should or shouldn’t I” factor when it comes to making an investment decision in CLWD.
On the surface—First three quarter revenue totals for 2020 exceeding 2019’s; minimal dilution up to this point for an OTC company; a share price well below 1X’s multiple; servicing an industry with tremendous upside; full SaaS conversion which could lead to sizeable top-line revenue growth increase; impressive clientele list; and a very attractive partnership/merger candidate. All this reflects potential catalysts to appease both the longer and shorter term investor.
“Something is coming, what I don't know but whatever it is Andrew believes when it is announced we move past a penny and don't look back.”
Personally speaking as far as my Holiday wish list goes it would be the full SaaS version of SWARM being released.
It’s evident by the information the company has made public SWARM was initially developed with full SaaS in mind.
In the Form 1-A Tier II offering submission to the SEC dated August 30, 2019 they referenced the following:
“We have a relatively short operating history and have been delivering SWARM solutions, our proprietary audience-driven business intelligence solution, since January 2018, and are now in the process of building SWARM into a SaaS (software-as-a-service) solution.”
On July 19th 2019 they release a PR announcing the rollout of SWARM in its current version.
They knew years ago in order for them to be competitive going forward they had to produce a cloud based SaaS product. The creation of SWARM was their solution to this strategic move enabling them to potentially be better positioned to gain market share. In 2019 there was a real push to acquire funding via the Reg. A+ offering and (Promissory Notes raising $460,000 in capital.) The $142,000 additional funds reflected in the last 8K released on October 22nd will hopefully be utilized as part of the final conversion phase of the project.
I can’t help but chuckle every time you make a cynical conveyance in your posts regarding the company’s PR’s they choose to put out and how they lack significantly in drawing potential investors which can be perplexing when taking into consideration they’re in the field of marketing. I’m sure once SWARM is available in full SaaS version they won’t have any problem getting the word out in an effective manner.
The potential is definitely there in terms of value:
1st Qtr Revenues: 2019—2,653,007/2020—3,204,407 increase of 21%
2nd Qtr Revenues: 2019—2,154,561/2020—2,412,221 increase of 12%
3rd Qtr Revenues: 2019—2,068,440/2020—2,403,176 increase of 16%
4th Qtr Revenues: 2019—2,370,455/2020—2,673,268* est. increase of 13%
*estimate based off of previous 3 quarters averaged. The company has consistently showed larger revenue totals in the 4th quarter.
Overall—year-end total: 2019—9,246,463/2020—10,693,072 increase of 16%
Market Cap 1X’s revenue total equals .0158 share price.
With an average sector multiple of 11X’s
There's nothing I would like to see more than everyone having the opportunity to load more at lower levels. So many on this board have endured such an extended grind of what has seemed like a never ending roller coaster ride. I look forward to the day when all those individuals who are so deserving get to experience their days of reckoning and receive their "just rewards."
In a previous post sometime ago I chronicled my experience with my Amazon holdings. How I originally started my first position back in 1998 in the 22 dollar range which I didn't even hold on to for more than a month and ended up starting another position eleven years later paying 100 dollars more a share. What I failed to mention in the post was that the share price the second time I invested hovered in the same price range for eleven whole months afterwards and I have to admit during that time I must have thought of selling it again a hundred times over.
You know the old saying "hindsight's always 20/20" but back in 1998 Amazon was far from being considered a sure thing. So, hang in there Chuck... I hope for you and everyone else invested in CLWD that the eventual day comes around where immense compensation comes to fruition rewarding everyone for their time and efforts.
I'm sure one of these days the coordinates will be just right and the MM's will decide to let this one stretch its legs and run for awhile.
Nice snag as it approached the 200 day MA. The MM's movement of this tomorrow should be nothing short of entertaining.
My interpretation of a stock message board isn't to pacify insecurity it's to locate information relative to the operation of a company enabling me to make an informed decision based solely on taking a position at the lowest possible price representing value using standard market measurements which at the OTC levels has to be adjusted somewhat. Sello has done a masterful job posting information the company has made public and arranging it conveniently on the board for all potential investors to access. In his posts he has applied reasonable interpretation to the potential outcomes based on information the company has made public. It's very well thought out and certainly not far fetched in any stretch of the imagination. The frustration he expressed after the last 10Q stems from the basics of what WAR eluded to in one of his posts recently that no matter how analytical you are at connecting the dots everything that relates is still very speculative. Which does bring up the question what's really true at these levels and what's the best way to safeguard yourself? Don't rely solely on Mr. Van Noy whom definitely has a credibility issue with current shareholders. Shareholder value? How about first working on shareholder trust. Always remember... the best form of detachment goes back to the old adage "buy low", on the basis of value, my friends.
There certainly wasn’t much to appreciate about the 3rd Quarter 10Q from the point of view of heightened expectations established by what information the company provided leading into the release. It’s very clear now the PR’s in June were used as a smoke screen to camouflage the hidden agenda related to note conversion. What should be appreciated regarding the latest financials is the clarity it provides. It’s very evident the type of impact Covid has had and the effects on the business world trying to compete for fewer dollars out there to be had with the economy functioning at this level. One would be hard pressed to find an industry that hasn’t been affected adversely financially. What’s reflected in CLWD’s balance sheet and financial statements isn’t uncommon at this point for so many businesses: less cash on hand; lower account receivable, net; less deferred revenue and customer deposit; flat to lower revenue numbers; etc. which in turn leads to the necessity of having to lower operating costs which CLWD has done significantly during the latest quarter.
It’s apparent the Reg A+ offering based on the last three quarterlies isn’t gaining any traction. One can only speculate as to the true intent of the last 8K. The majority went to pay off debt and my hope is the remainder is being utilized to bring SWARM to full SaaS. In one of my previous posts (which I believe was deleted due to the fact I might have used a four letter word viewed by the powers that be monitoring the boards as being too profane—although to this day I still proclaim my innocence!) I mentioned my employment history I retired from ten years ago having an extensive background in software development specifically relating to Beta Testing responsibilities. The evolution of SWARM caught my attention based on the exposure I’ve had related to the inner working development of software functionality. What information CloudCommerce has provided about SWARM and the continued clustering of data sets in making it more enhanced concludes all the sense in the world to me based on my experience in its effectiveness as being an extremely viable product in its industry. What’s even more important is it’s a perfect model to bring to full SaaS.
When I assess share price based on my own personal investment in CLWD I look at my average price per share which currently sits at .0033 and measure it against a 1X’s market cap figure based on TTM revenues which puts the stock price around .015. I have no time frame in terms of holding the 16M shares. It could be a year it could be ten years from now. To me share price is a byproduct of company performance and at this point CLWD’s latest 10Q merits holding my position. I’m a firm believer in the potential of their products/services. It’s hard for me to base my buy and sell on pure speculative formulation particularly in the murky depths of OTC Land. Is there a pool of investors holding the price down in order to frustrate current holders into selling so they can gather as many shares as possible with knowledge of the company announcing news considered game changing that eventually leads to a dramatic upside effect? Sure… I'll certainly jump on that bandwagon--but when you factor in the reality check we were served yesterday it's probably better to base your decisions on what’s actually somewhat visible which is company fundamentals.
All of us can reflect back to the days when we were kids and the immense feeling of anticipation we all experienced as Christmas Day approached wondering if the most coveted gift you’ve been dreaming of for most the year was going to be under the tree. Sadly, as we get older the innocence you had as a kid diminishes and you lose the intensity associated with that feeling. I’m sure most of us recognize the spark being reignited shedding light on that distant memory every time we find ourselves in anticipation mode of an approaching quarterly earnings report release that might exceed expectations. Unfortunately, yesterday we didn’t receive the delivered gift we were hoping for but one of the beneficial aspects to earning reports is they come quarterly and waiting three months is certainly better than having to wait an entire year. Here’s to the next release and what we all hope displays an unexpected upside in-turn leading to a more favorable market reaction.
"Andy, you got some splainin to do!" Sorry, but I couldn't resist.
If we continue to trade upwards of 7M shares per hour we will.
"Cloud/SWARM is a monster in the making."
Yes indeed!
Digital marketing is all about pinpointing an audience in the most efficient manner and CLWD has done an excellent job adding effective layers to SWARM since its rollout such as the 80M record database and Predict89 providing their proprietary clustering algorithms a combination of more enriched data sets. I really believe they have the potential to be a true leader in their industry. That is the primary reason I took a position.
Hopefully, the volume momentum "Force" will be with us the entire trading day and become grossly profound during the last hour!
Hey, the type of trading day earned a little paint to the upside. But, it could have been your ulterior motive mojo stating red that made the differenceAs usual, nice call. Tomorrow should be another interesting day.
Volume has to be sustained anytime you're dealing with a float in the 500M range.
The measured degrees of upward momentum pressure should continue to build and once confirmation of inline revenue projections are posted volume levels should increase substantially.
The 2nd Qtr 10Q came out on Friday August 14th since the 15th fell on the weekend. So, I would anticipate the 3rd Qtr 10Q to be released on Friday the 13th. Around the same time the August release 7:30am Pacific/10:30am Eastern.
What's definitely true at this point represents those who have accumulated their positions over an extended period being in a holding pattern waiting on the 3rd Qtr fins and those trying to start accumulating or improve on their positions throwing out speculatives trying to shake loose more shares at these levels. What the latter is experiencing can be frustrating due to the scarcity of shares available at this price range demonstrated over the last 10 trading days and the display of extreme share price sensitivity to the upside anytime there's the slightest uptick in volume.
One very favorable aspect to this 10Q is the potential of the numbers putting a lot of the conjecture, up to this point, to rest.
Like we touched on last Friday there are very few shares to be had at this price level. If someone wants to take a position or add more they're going to have to go higher on the bid.
