Here's a list off the top of my head


By no means comprehensive, so others that have been significant contributors on this board (too many to mention, but we know who they are) should chime in (dshade, Pro, 10bagger etc). My apologies if I omitted someone from that list.


1. Official PR. This will serve as the official announcement of the merger and that CLHI is the underlying ticker for The Data Source. Some will say that's just a formality, but my experience suggests that many wait for official confirmation before believing that it truly happened.
2. TA verification. Yes, we have informal verification, but seeing it on the OTC markets page is important for many.
3. Acquisition announcements and details. We know of two acquisitions in the hopper, but I don't believe they have been reflected in the share price to any meaningful degree.
4. Updated filings to get CLHI current. This will be important in removing any cautionary signs on the OTC Markets page, which is again important for many. In fact, many are precluded by their brokers from buying this stock due to the warning signs. That could lock additional demand.
5. New ticker. I don't view this as that important, but it has served as a short-term catalyst for some traders.
6. More details on TDS's assets and operations. I list this last not because it's not important, but because I believe chronologically it may be the last item we see as the others could hit rapidly and in succession. Releasing financial and other information on TDS could take some time as the company works through the SEC process.

Not an exhaustive list, but some of the things I'm looking forward to on the catalyst front.

Wha? You are most likely at a $200 million market cap now.

At $1.80, with the post merger SS undoubtedly changing whereas current shell holders usually get 5-10% of the incoming company (on a good one) here’s the current market cap:

200m OS post merger (CLHI holders get about 10% of the company) is $1.80 x 200m OS = $360,000,000 valuation now.

150m OS post merger (CLHI holders get about 13% of the company) is $1.80 x 150m OS = $270,000,000 valuation now.

100m OS post merger (CLHI holders get about 20% of the company) is $1.80 x 100m OS = $180,000,000 valuation now.

I have never seen where the shell holders have retained more than usually 5% of the incoming company. That’s why I keep saying I am curious to see what portion CLHI holders will get here.

TDS employees, the private equity holders, the acquisition companies will all get shares. Whether they are commons at first they will turn in to commons as they need to get a chance to cash out too.

Good day bud!

O/S will remain 24mil and float will also be very low until NASDAQ reinstatement. Employee Stock Option Plan over many years with restrictions and equity holders will have standard restrictions and limits. Market cap has a long way to go and will pass $1Billion, so any intelligent early investor will be happy with the much higher pps.
