A revolutionary anti-weapons technology approved in October 2017 by the U.S. government could…
Stop every mass shooting before a single shot is fired
Be installed in every single school, church, sports stadium, concert venue, office and government building, bank, shopping mall, train station, and airport worldwide
Dominate a global market worth over $1 trillion
And send the $1.20 NATO-backed stock that owns exclusive rights to this technology to over $32 a share in the next 12 months… and over $152 a share in the next three years as the roll-out accelerates!
Every major casino in Las Vegas could install as many as 50 of these devices in each of their hotels starting this year

What’s the “Little Black Box?” — Stock Gumshoe Daily Update

$PTOTF Yup. Agree. I like the potential for this stock. No position now. I got tired of waiting and then it too off after I sold. Still watching, but it has real potential IMO!
I missed this post earlier, but it is indeed Patriot One. The identity of the company was cracked the day the tease was released, and it has been well circulated among several blogs (so were are not first out of the gate).
I have been doing research into Patriot for the past couple of weeks but have not completed my DD as yet. My intention was to write something up for the community in the next day or so as I think this may be of broader interest (note – I have no position in the stock as yet, but starting to get interested).
The “Little Black Box” is a concealed weapons detector based upon ultra wideband microwave imaging (the same technology they are developing for the detection of breast cancer). This application of the technology was developed by a professor from McMaster University under the auspices of NATO and Defence Research and Development Canada, an organization with which I have had some dealings in the past. I have read DRDC’s paper on this (issued in 2014).
The “box” has been approved by Industry Canada and the FCC for trial deployment, and it was on the strength of those approvals that the stock jumped to its current level. Trials are ongoing at several sites, and the main attraction is that it is small and can be concealed behind walls in passageways, etc, and through its cognitive algorithms hopefully identify the type of weapon being carried. It is a far cry from the huge, walk through detectors we see at airports. Gummies may want to watch the video on the company website.
I personally see opportunity here, but this is not new technology and we need to be sure they can can in fact protect whatever unique IP they may have and indeed be first to market. They are small players in a market dominated by a few majors, and if you read the risks outlined in their MD&A it is clear that they fear competition above all else.
I am happy to keep digging and report back in a few days if the community is interested.

This is the next big thing in consumer tech
Jason Stutman Photo By Jason Stutman Written Jan. 20, 2018
Last week I had the privilege of attending a private reception at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES 2018) in Las Vegas, Nevada, to test out the industry’s latest augmented reality tech — a wide array of digital eyewear and smartglasses from various companies looking to make the next breakout consumer device.
CES has always been a good lens to view upcoming technology trends, and this year augmented reality was undoubtedly a leading attraction at the conference.
This reception I attended was packed from wall to wall in a large, private suite on the 50th floor of the Palazzo hotel. From investors to analysts to industry executives, everyone’s eyes were (both literally and figuratively) focused on the emerging field of augmented reality.
Now, I’ll be frank in telling you that from what I’ve witnessed, AR isn’t quite ready for full-scale commercial adoption just yet, but it’s become entirely obvious that is the direction this industry is heading. For now, we’re stuck mainly with enterprise and industrial applications. Within a year or two, though, AR is going to take the world by storm.
I’m quite sure of this not only because I’ve tested these devices in person and have witnessed the industry’s progression every year for the last four years, but also because I rub shoulders with the very people who make this technology tick.
The level of optimism behind closed doors this year was unmatched by any previous years. The most cautious leaders in the field are framing 2019 as the year AR starts to go hyperbolic, and it’s these folks who are in the clear minority. Many experts — particularly those in industrial AR — are already proclaiming 2018 to be a breakout year.
In any event, there’s a prevailing sense among professionals in the AR industry that they’re about to strike gold. It’s an ambitious lot who clearly see parallels to the rise of the smartphone in the mid-2000s. Every CEO wants to be the next Steve Jobs, and every company wants to be the next Apple.
Take Paul Travers as one example.
Travers is the CEO at Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI). He’s been in the industry for longer than just about anyone — over two decades — and he’s finally getting the notoriety he’s worked so hard for.
Vuzix has already received a small level of attention from niche investors because it’s the only augmented reality OEM you can actually trade on the public market. The company is small — with a market cap of about $200 million — but it managed to make even some of the biggest tech players look like amateurs last week.
The company’s flagship smartglasses, the Vuzix Blade AR, were widely recognized as one of the most innovative AR devices at CES this year. A number of leading publications put the Blade AR ahead of Google’s attempt at Glass.
The Verge snubbed Google in this headline: “Vuzix Blade AR glasses are the next-gen Google Glass.”
Gizmodo went event further with this one: “The Vuzix Blade Is What Google Glass Always Wanted to Be.”
It might be hard to believe that a tiny microcap company could make a better AR device than Google, a $785 billion tech behemoth, but the results are in.
CNET named Vuzix Blade the “Best of CES 2018: Day 1.”
FOX News named Vuzix Blade the “Best Wearable.”
Tom’s Guide gave Vuzix Blade its award for “Best Augmented Reality at CES 2018.”
And TechRadar awarded Vuzix Blade “Best AR on Show at CES 2018.”
I bring this all up not to play cheerleader Vuzix in particular but rather to point out that there are smaller companies fully capable in this space. A lot of people are prematurely looking to Microsoft, Apple, and Google as the de facto winners in AR, but the truth is we just don’t know yet which OEMs will come out on top.
This means a lot of investors will be taking gambles on tiny companies like Vuzix in hopes that they can continue to outclass their larger competition. If they can pull it off, that’s going to lead to a huge return for speculators — somewhat like buying Apple pre-iPhone or in the early 1990s.
Figuring out who’s going to have that blockbuster device, though, isn’t quite so easy. Vuzix may hold the lead right now, but keep in mind that so did cell phone makers like Nokia, BlackBerry, and Motorola leading up to the release of the iPhone.
Is there value in Vuzix? Absolutely there is. The company has over 100 patents and patents pending in the video eyewear field, which positions it as a potential takeover target or royalty powerhouse.
But is Vuzix guaranteed to win the AR race? Is it a safe all-around bet on smartglasses and digital eyewear? I wouldn’t say so at this point.
In fact, I would say there’s really only one safe bet when it comes to investing in AR this early, and that’s the suppliers who make the nuts and bolts of this emerging technology.
You see, that private reception I mentioned earlier was actually hosted by a single supplier, a company that virtually every AR device maker on the planet is looking to right now. During a panel discussion at the reception, in fact, one CEO rightly remarked that none of these companies would even exist if it weren’t for this supplier.
It’s not just little-known companies like Vuzix interested in these AR suppliers, either. As Bloomberg News reported late last week:
During CES, representatives from major players like Apple, Facebook, and Google met with suppliers that make the nuts and bolts required to power AR glasses, according to people familiar with the meetings.
No doubt the company hosting this reception was at the top of the list of suppliers to meet with. In fact, we’ve already confirmed that its technology is being used in AR prototypes by at least two of the companies mentioned in the Bloomberg quote above.
As for what this supplier does, it provides high-quality displays for virtual and augmented reality headsets. Everything consumers see when they’re using a pair of smartglasses will be because of companies like this one.
Perhaps most exciting for investors is the fact that this company trades for less than $5 a share, at least for the time being. 2018 is going to be the year to build a position in this firm, with 2019 being a breakout year. For the full details, I would urge any interested investors to check out this presentation here.

Kinda wished you didn’t put JD and BABA in the same sentence. I have had BABA since it opened and never looked back. My research was pretty thorough and Morgan Stanley , despite being aggressive in emerging markets, looked at me askance at the time. Now they say I was right.. about the most aggressive ecommerce site I ever saw (yes, I watched their commercials on Chinese TV) and how they also ripped a new one for eBay in China. The CEO sounds and acts like Jobst on droids and is a smart street fighter. JD.com and its IPO is another Chinese retail store that the administration is trying to halt all the financial institutions from offering… along with all the “me too’s” following this one. Too politically risky to me in an already risky retail environment. Just sayin’. 😉 #ThankYOU! for #sharing #NewAge! 🙂 #Best2ALL!

$QCOM – EU slaps Qualcomm with $1.2B antitrust fine
https://seekingalpha.com/news/3324745-eu-slaps-qualcomm-1_2b-antitrust-fine?
Jan. 24, 2018 5:56 AM ET|By: Yoel Minkoff, SA News Editor
EU antitrust regulators have slapped a €997M ($1.2B) fine on Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) for paying Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) “billions of U.S. dollars” to shun rival chips in its iPhones.
“This meant that no rival could effectively challenge Qualcomm in this market,” said EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager.
The fine is massive, thought it’s well below the more than $2B the commission could have sought under Europe’s antitrust laws.

Chinese wind turbine maker Sinovel Wind is convicted by a U.S. jury on charges that it stole trade secrets from American Superconductor (NASDAQ:AMSC) which caused more than $800M in losses.
The federal jury in Wisconsin finds Sinovel, once AMSC’s largest customer, guilty on all charges, including conspiracy, trade-secret theft and wire fraud.
The case centered on technology that AMSC developed to regulate the flow of electricity from wind turbines to electrical grids that Sinovel purchased for its products.

Jan. 26, 2018 2:59 AM ET|About: Broadcom Limited ($AVGO)|By: Yoel Minkoff, SA News Editor
Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) has won the backing of a group of Chinese smartphone manufacturers in its fight to fend off a $130B hostile bid from rival Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).
The country’s antitrust regulators could pose the biggest obstacle to the deal, which would create a dominant player in the mobile chip market and post a challenge to domestic companies.
China is also the last country yet to approve Qualcomm’s $47B acquisition of Dutch chipmaker NXP (NASDAQ:NXPI).
