I thought the webcast was pretty decent actually ... gotta be really patient with this one.They mentioned on stocktwitter that the 50dma was getting close to crossing the 200dma ... so I checked to see and they were correct ...what does that mean?

The golden cross and the death cross

The “cross” refers to two simple moving averages “crossing” over each other. A golden cross is considered a bullish sign; it occurs when the 50-day moving average rises above 200-day moving average. A death cross is considered a bearish sign; it occurs when the 50-day moving average drops below 200-day moving average.

We're heading for the Golden cross,also something else I watch that tells you a big move is getting imminent but doesn't define which way the move will be is the Bollinger bands and they are tightening ..getting closer and closer together ...so a move is imminent.I am going with bullish and moving north due to the overall fundamentals of the company are gradually(slowly but surely) getting better ... just not sure where or when actual $$ revenue producing news might hit.

Where would revenue come from here? Well ... the most obvious would be first detect but we are quite a ways out from any major manufacturing of the product on a larger scale,at least in conjunction with Smith >>>

They have sold a few of them already so I would suppose a contract or order for them could come from another source at any time on their current model.

They have a huge amount of patents that could become revenue producing for them from an outside source creating recurring revenue if this outside source develops a widget that sells using their patent.Or...they could sell a patent outright to a company for millions.

What most recently intrigued me is

“With the consumer excitement and wave of adoption of the new UHD/HDR television sets, the need to supply compatible content plays a crucial part in keeping the excitement alive during this adoption period,” said Thomas B. Pickens, CEO of Astral Images. “The automation designed into our product is able to inexpensively meet the increasing demand for UHD/HDR content while maintaining a very high level of quality.”

The Astral HDR ICE™ product is designed to quickly and inexpensively convert over 10,000 feature films along with many thousands of television shows into the UHD domain.


This one might be a real game changer but like everything pickens does he seems to be very slow at getting anything going that is revenue producing so I am somewhat cautious...however,it does seem like all these things that he has been working on might actually start paying off and at a faster momentum ....that is just my hunch from watching the company for many years back to SPAB.

We've gone from awesome outerspace ...spacehab ... satellite operations etc. to "other things" that haven't seemed to pay off,and they are or simply have been floating along from the sale of the satellite operation to Lockheed ... most seem cautious and understandably so.

The low float and the way it pops on news makes this a good candidate to wait on for the next move up and possibly into the future longer term.ONLY about 20 million outsanding and Pickens owns about 25% or something like that.Instituions own more ... so there sin't a lot of float.

If they ever did get rolling on recurring revenues the price of the stock could create a much higher base even in the 30,40,50 $ ranges ....seems impossible now but it isn't if they get some kind of recurring revenue.Thoughts cross my mind as to Pickens possibly doing a forward split in the future AFTER they have successful revenue generation ... consistently of course.

As all these stages advance so will the share price and it will advance ahead of the actual revenue.You can't just sit back and "wait" for the news because it will be too late when it hits ,or at least could be too late to get a decent share price. <<< That was my BUY IT NOW plug if you missed it LOL!

Astrogenetix is just hanging around doing nothing really ...but could pay off eventually!

Anyway ...those are a few of my thoughts ... just for the hell of it!
