$SKDI DD - Updated January 10, 2020 . -----------
Post# of 6739
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 and Numuni - which failed to launch - divested.
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.

Key Points - $SKDI / SFL Maven CEO 2nd Video:
- SFL has a proven track record over 17 complete years as a jewelry business whereas the previous $SKDI business model (now divested) was based on a technology company that would have raised money based only on ideas and hoping they worked out.
- Hired an attorney to write an Offering Statement to raise $8M in 2021 to be used for:
-- Mostly increased inventory.
-- Also to have capital on hand to acquire small jewelry businesses.
-- Also to acquire any large collections of jewelry that might be offered.
- Existing suppliers are excited to help raise the SFL inventory level in 2021.
- Rising price of gold has affected the market "big time".
-- When gold goes up, buyers come out of the woodwork to invest in gold.
-- They want jewelry they can wear rather than just coins in the bank.
-- Similar happened in 2010-2012.
- Luxury on-line goods doing well during COVID-19:
-- People want to feel good.
-- Watches and jewelry sales both up.
- Most excited about having more capital in 2021:
-- Be able to buy sought after pieces.
-- Be able to buy large collections.
-- Removing capital barriers to enable major growth.
-- Put up "huge" top line numbers.

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 by $Ms.
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.

For 14 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 2021 - as evidenced by networking in new Telegram and Slack Whale Team room, Skype and on social media.
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.
I and other top traders have been loading the bottom levels in the .0040 > .0050 range in the last 5 trading days - resulting an an increased total volume of 81M - which is 19% of the very low Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count. As with all my long-term top picks, knowing who got what where is important.
Hail mary buys were last evident again on J anuary 7 and 8, 2021.
As predicted in the last DD update, although the top traders of $SKDI already have enough shares for trading throughout 2021, now that we are in a new tax year they are already buying more at the current bottom prices to deny them to new interest and get the move up toward .01+ started before all the known multiple catalysts ahead start playing out.
As PRs are not currently getting routed via broker platforms "News" alerts, $SKDI long-term continual position traders search manually daily and are likely to be the first to get all the future runs started without warning.
Performance & Outlook:
$SKDI was the #1 Top Profit Pick & #1 Top Actual Banked Profit Earning Stock of 2020.
SFL Maven was not acquired until October 2020 - so we have not even yet had a set of financials incorporating their huge revenue in the $Ms - unheard of for most companies currently in the OTC.
$SKDI will remain the #1 Top Profit Pick on my Watch List for my 1,879 followers throughout 2021 for self-evident reasons.
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2021 for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at various price points.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up at open.
Expect .02 > .1+ at some point in 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 ahead of the Annual Report - probably in the 1st video of 2021.
- Annual Report filing.
- Rebranding.
- Launch of SFL's own on-line store - in addition to eBay.
- Name change + ticker change.
- Offering statement to raise capital for growth..
- Weekly eBay sales revenues visible to all share holders on a continuous basis.
Ongoing PR campaign with 57 releases already since November 4, 2019.
