$SKDI DD - Updated November 15, 2020 [important aspects in bold].
Recent Major Developments:
On October 5, 2020, $SKDI announced it had acquired high-end jewelry company SFL Maven ["SFL"] - with revenue of $11M in 2019 - in a stock-only transaction - and would be pivoting direction.
On October 8, 2020, $SKDI announced that it would be streamlining operations to drive greater focus on high value, high revenue segments.
The centerpiece of this focus will be the Company's recently acquired high-end jewelry business SFL.
The realignment in operational and strategic focus is to maximize returns on invested capital ahead.
This realignment will entail cost-savings and cash generation to support the growth of the Company going forward and will increase the ability to maximize returns with the new acquisition SFL.
As part of this realignment, Hakuna has been sold as a going concern.
On October 9, 2020, it was announced that the CEO of SFL Maven would become the CEO of $SKDI wef October 12, 2020. Significant further information about the success to date of SFL was given along with plans and objectives for the remainder of 2020 and 2021 in a video [see Key Points below].
$SKDI is now re-focused on a serious revenue generating business - and having divested itself of non-core businesses - is set to deliver shareholder value.
$SKDI will report millions in topline revenues in 2020 for the first time in its history.
The CEO sees no reason to apply to FINRA for a reverse stock split and the company has a very tight public float.
His focus will 100% be on revenue growth for the remainder of 2020.
Re-branding and a name change are also planned.
It subsequently also emerged on October 9, 2020, that the partnership and continued funding of Numuni had been wound up due to the failure of that company to launch platforms as planned on September 1 due to personnel issues and a lack of resilience.

https://vimeo.com/466211275
Key Points - $SKDI / SFL Maven CEO 2nd Video:

- Existing suppliers are excited to help raise the SFL inventory level in 2021.
- Rising price of gold has affected the market "big time"

-- Similar happened in 2010-2012.
- Luxury on-line goods doing well during COVID-19:

2020 Q3 Report - Filed November 13, 2020.
Largely irrelevant - as it is for the period ending September 30 which predates the acquisition of $11M per year revenue company SFL Maven - and Numuni was costing money without bringing any in.
We already know from the new CEO that the balance sheet will go instantly positive in Q4.
There were 2 unexpected additional income items ahead alluded to in Note 10 - Subsequent Events in Q4:
- Hakuna Supply was sold for $350,000.
- The funds advanced to Numuni will be converted into a long-term interest-free note for approximately $200,000.

Large ask buy of 3.345M at .0030 ($10K) noted on November 12.
For 12 months there have been hold back attempts from manipulator(s) with undercut asks put up daily as a loading wall - walked down whenever the ask is not hit aggressively enough - and retreating when hit or when taken out by the regular "hail mary" buys across multiple asks.
OTC market top traders now on $SKDI for the whole of 2020 and 2021 - as evidenced by networking in new Telegram and Slack Whale Team room, Skype and on social media.
Since then, more traders have been willing to hit the ask above hold back attempts to get surge moves and also outbid the main MM repeatedly to see if he moves up.
$SKDI is the #1 profit earning stock of 2020 so far and expected to remain in that position throughout 2020 - and throughout 2021 - especially now it has acquired SFL which is a proven $11M per year revenue company.
Continued large profit trading opportunities ahead throughout 2020 and 2021 for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at various price points - particularly ahead of 2020 Q4.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up.
Expect .02 > .1+ at some point in 2020 / 2021 as the following catalysts play out:
- Awareness in the wider trading / investing community of the proven success and future potential of SFL - to date $SKDI PRs have not been routed for alerts on broker platforms.
- Announcement of 2020 Q4 profits.
- Rebranding.
- Launch of SFL's own on-line store - in addition to eBay.
- Name change + ticker change.
Ongoing PR campaign with 56 releases already since November 4, 2019.
