Backstory
SFLMaven is a "beyond well-established" [company's description] jewelry business which has operated successfully on eBay since June 2003 - 18+ years.
I t effectively went public when acquired by the former ticker $SKDI in October 2020.
At the same time, $SKDI divested itself of Hakuna and Numuni.
CEO of SFLMaven became CEO of $SKDI wef October 12, 2020.
Significant further information about the success to date of SFLMaven and plans ahead have been given in 11 x videos [see links below].
The CEO has confirmed that there will be no reverse stock split and that the company has a very tight public float.
On / around February 18, 2021 the company applied for a name change of the then current ticker $SKDI to "SFLMaven" and a ticker change.
The name "SFLMaven" and ticker "SFLM" came into effect March 30, 2021.
$SFLM is now re-focused on a serious revenue generating business and - having divested itself of non-core businesses - is set to deliver shareholder value.
SFLMaven has now retained a professional Investor Relations company [source: 3rd video].
SFLMaven has now also retained a brand building Public Relations company [source: PR dated May 11, 2021].
SFLMaven now also sells at 1stDibs [source: Twitter July 8, 2021]
Future Intent
- Revamp Corporate image.
- Increase exposure in luxury markets as a whole.
- Increase inventory to increase sales volume.
- Increase in revenue of 30% in 2021 over that of 2020 - already achieved 35% [source: sales to December 24]
- Build out own professional on-line retail site - already being worked on [source: 3rd video].
- Start holding investor events as soon as permitted [source: 3rd video].
- Increase shareholder trust by delivering dependable growth month after month and Q after Q.

- Emphasize differentiation from other OTC companies - get the word out that it is an undervalued "diamond in the rough" that already keeps cranking out $Ms in revenue month over month [source: 4th video].
- Diversify over more platforms [source: 4th video].
- Expand the new Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Division [source: 9th video and PRs September 21 and 23]
- Already signed first renowned NFT artist - draws live crowds up to 30,000 people [source: PR dated October 15] and a second NFT artist [source: PR dated October 19].

- Develop a Collectibles Marketplace Strategy by acquiring around 7 x collectible companies - and grow using proven business model - to same revenue level as original SFLMaven - see more detail in specific section below [source: 9th video and PR September 21].
- In the longer term, looking to acquire 8-10 collectibles companies over 5 years [source: 11th video].
- Initiating audit with goal of filing Form 10, becoming fully reporting company and uplist to OTCQB - so we can expect a sustained .01 bid at some point ahead - have plenty of shares from current levels [source: Shareholder Presentation - June 2021 Version].

Expansion Announcement - September 16, 2021 [source: 9th video]
Start acquiring other collectible companies to create a coalition that uses the well-established already succesful SFLMaven platforms, connections and growth model.
Already in discussion with a few companies - looking to acquire 6 or 7 - such as those specializing in:
- Baseball cards.
- Comic books.
- Handbags.
- Toys.
- Stamps.
- Sports memorabilia.
Plan is to build each to have the same size revenues as SFLMaven Jewelry Division - currently around $1M per month.
In addition, has formed a NFT Division of SFLMaven.

Key Points - 2021 Q3 Achievements PR Dated October 6, 2021
- September 2021 sales $1.1M - up 32% on a sequential basis.
- 32M web impressions - nearly 70% entirely organic.
- Page views also jumped up on a month-by-month basis - now 340K+.
- “We are picking up steam into our seasonally strongest stretch, while also riding organic and macro tailwinds."
- "The timing couldn’t be better as we work on multiple pathways of expansion, including our new NFT and Collectibles Marketplace vision."
- "We will have much more to discuss on that front very soon.”
Revised 2022 Onwards Price Possibility - Based On Correct Market Cap For Revenue Figures Provided By Company - As At December 24, 2021
$SFLM currently on 365 / 358 x $10.000M = $10.195M estimate for the year.
Although there is still a week to go worth an additional $170K > $200K+, assume $10M we already have.
Multiple x 9:
- SFLMaven (current jewelry company).
- Add 6 or 7 x collectible companies and grow to same level.
- Add NFT Division of SFLMaven.
9 x $10M = $90M.
Market Cap based on total Outstanding Shares of 1.453 Billion = $.062.
Price based on Restricted still being Restricted or the company insiders / lenders choosing to keep if any go Unrestricted in 2022 - so based on Unrestricted Outstanding Shares of 837M - $.1075.
This section will be updated on an ongoing basis if there is any change to the share structure.
Key Points - Shareholder Update PR - October 27, 2021
- Unaudited year-to-date performance data as of October 25, 2021:
-- Gross Revenues: $7.76M - up 33.9% on year-over-year basis.
-- Net Sales: $6.97M - up 33.2% on year-over-year basis.
-- Products Sold: 9,406 - up 31.5% on year-over-year basis.
-- Average Sales Price Per Item: $825.35 - up 2% on year-over-year basis.
- "the final two months of the year are historically the strongest for SFLMaven and the broader high-end luxury goods marketplace."
- "Due to continuing global supply chain constraints, the Company stands to benefit from inventory building problems faced by competing luxury goods dealers that manufacture products and rely on logistics and supply chain factors as holiday demand spikes later this quarter. This could further bolster growth in the Company’s primary revenue-producing segment."
- Continues to develop its new Collectibles Marketplace Strategy.
- Launched a new segment t hat focuses on the thriving collectibles market, including Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), baseball cards, coins, comic books, handbags, sneakers and other collectible memorabilia.
- First phase of this launch is focused on developing a unique inventory of digital artwork capable of driving value in the NFT marketplace.
- Already signed two very talented digital artists - Larry Calabrese and SubtleCodes.
- Management looks forward to providing further updates on exciting next steps in this process very soon.

Public Offering
A Public Offering of at .0050 to raise capital to increase the inventory to increase sales by a target of 30% in 2021 was filed on January 28, 2021.
The Public Offering Statement was updated on May 18, 2021 to change the price to .0046 and it was confirmed that money was already coming in.
With the sales increase target already exceeded by the end of Q3, a SEC Form 1-Z Public Offering Exit Report was filed on December 9, 2021 showing that:
- $1.615M in capital brought in.
- Only 352.5M of the 2.2 Billion maximum offered from October 10, 2019 were sold at .0046. The majority of these shares have probably already been traded on previous runs (see Share Structure section notes).
A SEC Form 1-A filed was filed on December 16, 2021 for a Public Offering at .0017 - so its is likely that the pps will be maintained above that or institutional level investors wouldn't be getting a discount. There was a $29,750 buy the same day (17.5M at .0017).
Share Structure - Updated December 20, 2021
Transfer Agent Verified
Authorized Shares: 5,000,000,000 [same as in January 2020]
Outstanding Shares: 1,453,025,173 [up 341.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change August 2 > September 8 - up 43.75M September 9 > October 8 - no change October 9 > December 20]
Restricted: 615,504,231 [up 20M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change in last 3 months May to August 2, 2021 - down 50M August 2 > September 8 - no change September 9 > December 20]
Unrestricted: 837,520,942 [up 321.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - up 50M August 2 > September 8 from formerly Restricted - up 43.75M September 8 > October 8 - no change October 9 > December 20]
Note 1: It is only the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count that is relevant to immediate trading. Very low at 837M for a stock in the .0020 > .25 price range.
Note 2: The 252.5M increase in the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count in 10 months September 2020 > July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM.
Note 3: Way more than that increase over 220+ trading days was traded in just a dozen of them - for example: 65M in just 2 days on March 3-4, 30M on March 18, 365M on March 24, 57M on March 25, 99M on March 29, 28M on April 1, 136M on April 5-9, 50M on April 7, 28M on April 8, 21M on April 29 & 35M on May 4 [914M in just those 12 days].
Note 4: The 68.75M increase in July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 578M were traded in the 20 trading days concerned - including 286.5M on July 15, 49M on July 16 and 112.75M on August 4 [448M+ in just those 3 days alone].
Note 5: The 50M increase in August 2021 - all formerly Restricted shares held by insiders - was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 343M were traded in the 27 trading days concerned - including 112M on August 4 when it ran .0042 > .0064 (52%) and 50M on August 13 when it ran .0040 > .0051 (27.5%).
Note 6: The 43.75M increase in September 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 282M were traded in the 22 trading days concerned - including 71M on September 21 followed by another 60M October 5+6.

Trading Patterns
Note 1: Details of runs in 2019 and 2020 of up to 433% have been deleted - still available to view in the contemporaneous record here.
Note 2: Now that we are expecting runs of 500% > 1000% in 2022 from current levels, details of 8 x runs less than 84% in 2021 have been deleted - still available to view in the contemporaneous record here - to make breakout patterns in a new tax year more evident. In addition, some details of stages observed in previous short squeezes has also been deleted.
Started breakout from .0038 (previous close) to .0050 on January 6, 2021
Ran from .0052 > .0064 on February 9 - 23%
Ran from . 0062 > .0080 on February 10 - 29%
Ran from .0073 > .0091 on February 11 - 25%
Ran from .0070 > .0088 on February 18 - 26%
Ran from .0076 > .0091 on March 3 - 20%
Ran from .0086 (previous close) > .0197 (then new 2021 high) on March 24 - 129%
Ran from .0092 (previous close) > .0169 on March 29 on just under 99M traded - 84%
Ran from .0169 (previous close) > .0200 (new 2021 high) on March 30 - 18%
Ran from .0127 (previous close) > .0160 on April 1 on just 28M traded - 26%
Ran from .0098 (previous close) > .0119 on April 8 - 21%
Ran from .0060 (previous close) > .0117 on July 15 - 95%
Ran from .0018 (December
> .0030 by December 14 - 66%
Maintained same bottom range - predominantly .0020 > .0052 (10% > 25% of the anticipated .02+) - for the last 66 trading days as new interest tries bidding first but also buys some on the ask - notably multiple 1M > 4M ask buys daily - for a total of 767.1M shares - 91.6% of the low Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count - bought in the last 66 trading days September 22 - December 23.
New interest traders / commentators + long-term traders with significant followings as at December 26 numbered at least 140 - up another 2 in the last 7 days. One of the recent additions has 165K+ followers - the top 5 alone have 287K followers - see earlier post for list - and I'll be updating this going forward.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys across successive ask walls put up by those that attempt to manipulate the price down by a combination of shorting and walked down, often "fake" walls - by which I mean cancelled when hit without filling.
A pattern of manipulation attempts has been observed for 26 months now - believed to be from a few people on an amateur forum who continually post disinformation nonsense. At least one of them has admitted to shorting it regularly.
The manipulators leave themselves open to getting short squeezed - as happened earlier in 2021 on March 24 and March 29 for 129% and 84% runs and again on July 15 for 95%.
A number of times already in 2021, more traders have been willing to hit the ask above hold back attempts to top up their inventory of shares for trading throughout 2021 and 2022 - especially during the phase when the company starts its qualification attempt to uplist to OTCQB which will require a sustained bid above .01 - and for trading on surge moves and short squeezes.
With many traders now known to be watching $SFLM at all times, those that try walking asks down are likely to get taken out by large buys - as has been happening over the past 66 trading days - and lose shares at just the wrong time.
As with all my long-term top picks, knowing who got what where - relative to you by process of elimination - is important when deciding the ratio of shares to keep long-term vs locking in partial profits.
Performance & Outlook
$SFLM [as $SKDI] was the #1 Top Profit Pick & #1 Top Actual Banked Profit Earning Stock of 2020 on my Watch List due to the multiple surges it experienced. As a long-term project, this enables more shares being held for future growth and uplisting to be effectively converted to "free" by trading a portion of the overall inventory on significant moves.
$SFLM is also the #1 Actual Banked Profit Earning Stock of 2021 on my Watch List due to the extent and frequency of its probable short squeeze runs.
$SFLM will remain a Top Profit Pick on my Watch List throughout 2021 and 2022 for self-evident reasons. It is currently trading well below where its market cap should be both for its current $10M revenue and for its planned 8 x revenue ahead under the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy. The company has already exceeded its 2021 revenue growth goals [see relevant sections above].
It pays to be ready at all times for surges, uplisting to OTCQB and the long-term.
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2021 and 2022 for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at various price points. Having plenty of shares - you don't need the cheapest - avoids the need to chase every time it runs and also locks up an ever increasing % of the low float and therefore deprives new interest of cheap shares - particularly those under .01.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up at each open.
Expect .02+ at some point ahead - and much higher as the up to 8 x revenue from the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy kicks in (see forecast in earlier section) - and repeat runs in the meantime to .01 > .0150 - as the following catalysts play out:
- Awareness in the wider trading / investing community of the proven success and future potential of SFLMaven.
- Weekly eBay sales revenues visible to all share holders on a continuous basis.
- Updates from the company on sales weekly and PRs at least monthly.
- 2021 Q4 filings.
- Rebranding.
- Launch of SFLMaven's own on-line store - in addition to eBay.
- Broadening its multi-channel digital strategy [source: PR July 15].
- Exploring other sales channels outside of eBay to diversify and expand its reach [source: PR July 15].
- Addition of a Shopify store - launch TBA [source: 8th video]
- Diversification of luxury goods offered.
- Nationwide expansion of the NFT Division of SFLMaven.
- Collectibles Marketplace Strategy - acquire up to 10 x existing collectibles companies.
- Build revenue of each company to that of the current SFLMaven - $1M+ per month.
- Large investors found by MZ Group from both their client base and investor symposiums.
- Social media influencing and brand building conducted by Heather King PR & Marketing.
- Completion of audit to become "Fully Reporting"
- Uplist to OTCBQ.

Backstory
SFLMaven is a "beyond well-established" [company's description] jewelry business which has operated successfully on eBay since June 2003 - 18+ years.
I t effectively went public when acquired by the former ticker $SKDI in October 2020.
At the same time, $SKDI divested itself of Hakuna and Numuni.
CEO of SFLMaven became CEO of $SKDI wef October 12, 2020.
Significant further information about the success to date of SFLMaven and plans ahead have been given in 11 x videos [see links below].
The CEO has confirmed that there will be no reverse stock split and that the company has a very tight public float.
On / around February 18, 2021 the company applied for a name change of the then current ticker $SKDI to "SFLMaven" and a ticker change.
The name "SFLMaven" and ticker "SFLM" came into effect March 30, 2021.
$SFLM is now re-focused on a serious revenue generating business and - having divested itself of non-core businesses - is set to deliver shareholder value.
SFLMaven has now retained a professional Investor Relations company [source: 3rd video].
SFLMaven has now also retained a brand building Public Relations company [source: PR dated May 11, 2021].
SFLMaven now also sells at 1stDibs [source: Twitter July 8, 2021]
Future Intent

- Start holding investor events as soon as permitted [source: 3rd video].
- Increase shareholder trust by delivering dependable growth month after month and Q after Q.

- Emphasize differentiation from other OTC companies - get the word out that it is an undervalued "diamond in the rough" that already keeps cranking out $Ms in revenue month over month [source: 4th video].
- Diversify over more platforms [source: 4th video].
- Expand the new Non-Fungible Token (NFT) Division [source: 9th video and PRs September 21 and 23]
- Already signed first renowned NFT artist - draws live crowds up to 30,000 people [source: PR dated October 15] and a second NFT artist [source: PR dated October 19].

- Develop a Collectibles Marketplace Strategy by acquiring around 7 x collectible companies - and grow using proven business model - to same revenue level as original SFLMaven - see more detail in specific section below [source: 9th video and PR September 21].
- In the longer term, looking to acquire 8-10 collectibles companies over 5 years [source: 11th video].
- Initiating audit with goal of filing Form 10, becoming fully reporting company and uplist to OTCQB - so we can expect a sustained .01 bid at some point ahead - have plenty of shares from current levels [source: Shareholder Presentation - June 2021 Version].

Expansion Announcement - September 16, 2021 [source: 9th video]
Start acquiring other collectible companies to create a coalition that uses the well-established already succesful SFLMaven platforms, connections and growth model.
Already in discussion with a few companies - looking to acquire 6 or 7 - such as those specializing in:
- Baseball cards.
- Comic books.
- Handbags.
- Toys.
- Stamps.
- Sports memorabilia.
Plan is to build each to have the same size revenues as SFLMaven Jewelry Division - currently around $1M per month.
In addition, has formed a NFT Division of SFLMaven.

Key Points - 2021 Q3 Achievements PR Dated October 6, 2021
- September 2021 sales $1.1M - up 32% on a sequential basis.
- 32M web impressions - nearly 70% entirely organic.
- Page views also jumped up on a month-by-month basis - now 340K+.
- “We are picking up steam into our seasonally strongest stretch, while also riding organic and macro tailwinds."
- "The timing couldn’t be better as we work on multiple pathways of expansion, including our new NFT and Collectibles Marketplace vision."
- "We will have much more to discuss on that front very soon.”
Revised 2022 Onwards Price Possibility - Based On Correct Market Cap For Revenue Figures Provided By Company - As At December 24, 2021
$SFLM currently on 365 / 358 x $10.000M = $10.195M estimate for the year.
Although there is still a week to go worth an additional $170K > $200K+, assume $10M we already have.
Multiple x 9:
- SFLMaven (current jewelry company).
- Add 6 or 7 x collectible companies and grow to same level.
- Add NFT Division of SFLMaven.
9 x $10M = $90M.
Market Cap based on total Outstanding Shares of 1.453 Billion = $.062.
Price based on Restricted still being Restricted or the company insiders / lenders choosing to keep if any go Unrestricted in 2022 - so based on Unrestricted Outstanding Shares of 837M - $.1075.
This section will be updated on an ongoing basis if there is any change to the share structure.
Key Points - Shareholder Update PR - October 27, 2021
- Unaudited year-to-date performance data as of October 25, 2021:
-- Gross Revenues: $7.76M - up 33.9% on year-over-year basis.
-- Net Sales: $6.97M - up 33.2% on year-over-year basis.
-- Products Sold: 9,406 - up 31.5% on year-over-year basis.
-- Average Sales Price Per Item: $825.35 - up 2% on year-over-year basis.
- "the final two months of the year are historically the strongest for SFLMaven and the broader high-end luxury goods marketplace."
- "Due to continuing global supply chain constraints, the Company stands to benefit from inventory building problems faced by competing luxury goods dealers that manufacture products and rely on logistics and supply chain factors as holiday demand spikes later this quarter. This could further bolster growth in the Company’s primary revenue-producing segment."
- Continues to develop its new Collectibles Marketplace Strategy.
- Launched a new segment t hat focuses on the thriving collectibles market, including Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), baseball cards, coins, comic books, handbags, sneakers and other collectible memorabilia.
- First phase of this launch is focused on developing a unique inventory of digital artwork capable of driving value in the NFT marketplace.
- Already signed two very talented digital artists - Larry Calabrese and SubtleCodes.
- Management looks forward to providing further updates on exciting next steps in this process very soon.

Public Offering
A Public Offering of at .0050 to raise capital to increase the inventory to increase sales by a target of 30% in 2021 was filed on January 28, 2021.
The Public Offering Statement was updated on May 18, 2021 to change the price to .0046 and it was confirmed that money was already coming in.
With the sales increase target already exceeded by the end of Q3, a SEC Form 1-Z Public Offering Exit Report was filed on December 9, 2021 showing that:
- $1.615M in capital brought in.
- Only 352.5M of the 2.2 Billion maximum offered from October 10, 2019 were sold at .0046. The majority of these shares have probably already been traded on previous runs (see Share Structure section notes).
A SEC Form 1-A filed was filed on December 16, 2021 for a Public Offering at .0017 - so its is likely that the pps will be maintained above that or institutional level investors wouldn't be getting a discount. There was a $29,750 buy the same day (17.5M at .0017).
Share Structure - Updated December 20, 2021
Transfer Agent Verified
Authorized Shares: 5,000,000,000 [same as in January 2020]
Outstanding Shares: 1,453,025,173 [up 341.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change August 2 > September 8 - up 43.75M September 9 > October 8 - no change October 9 > December 20]
Restricted: 615,504,231 [up 20M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - no change in last 3 months May to August 2, 2021 - down 50M August 2 > September 8 - no change September 9 > December 20]
Unrestricted: 837,520,942 [up 321.25M in 11 months September 2020 > August 2021 - up 50M August 2 > September 8 from formerly Restricted - up 43.75M September 8 > October 8 - no change October 9 > December 20]
Note 1: It is only the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count that is relevant to immediate trading. Very low at 837M for a stock in the .0020 > .25 price range.
Note 2: The 252.5M increase in the Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count in 10 months September 2020 > July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM.
Note 3: Way more than that increase over 220+ trading days was traded in just a dozen of them - for example: 65M in just 2 days on March 3-4, 30M on March 18, 365M on March 24, 57M on March 25, 99M on March 29, 28M on April 1, 136M on April 5-9, 50M on April 7, 28M on April 8, 21M on April 29 & 35M on May 4 [914M in just those 12 days].
Note 4: The 68.75M increase in July 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 578M were traded in the 20 trading days concerned - including 286.5M on July 15, 49M on July 16 and 112.75M on August 4 [448M+ in just those 3 days alone].
Note 5: The 50M increase in August 2021 - all formerly Restricted shares held by insiders - was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 343M were traded in the 27 trading days concerned - including 112M on August 4 when it ran .0042 > .0064 (52%) and 50M on August 13 when it ran .0040 > .0051 (27.5%).
Note 6: The 43.75M increase in September 2021 was not significant to the long-term traders of $SFLM. 282M were traded in the 22 trading days concerned - including 71M on September 21 followed by another 60M October 5+6.

Trading Patterns
Note 1: Details of runs in 2019 and 2020 of up to 433% have been deleted - still available to view in the contemporaneous record here.
Note 2: Now that we are expecting runs of 500% > 1000% in 2022 from current levels, details of 8 x runs less than 84% in 2021 have been deleted - still available to view in the contemporaneous record here - to make breakout patterns in a new tax year more evident. In addition, some details of stages observed in previous short squeezes has also been deleted.

> .0030 by December 14 - 66% Maintained same bottom range - predominantly .0020 > .0052 (10% > 25% of the anticipated .02+) - for the last 66 trading days as new interest tries bidding first but also buys some on the ask - notably multiple 1M > 4M ask buys daily - for a total of 767.1M shares - 91.6% of the low Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count - bought in the last 66 trading days September 22 - December 23.
New interest traders / commentators + long-term traders with significant followings as at December 26 numbered at least 140 - up another 2 in the last 7 days. One of the recent additions has 165K+ followers - the top 5 alone have 287K followers - see earlier post for list - and I'll be updating this going forward.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys across successive ask walls put up by those that attempt to manipulate the price down by a combination of shorting and walked down, often "fake" walls - by which I mean cancelled when hit without filling.
A pattern of manipulation attempts has been observed for 26 months now - believed to be from a few people on an amateur forum who continually post disinformation nonsense. At least one of them has admitted to shorting it regularly.
The manipulators leave themselves open to getting short squeezed - as happened earlier in 2021 on March 24 and March 29 for 129% and 84% runs and again on July 15 for 95%.
A number of times already in 2021, more traders have been willing to hit the ask above hold back attempts to top up their inventory of shares for trading throughout 2021 and 2022 - especially during the phase when the company starts its qualification attempt to uplist to OTCQB which will require a sustained bid above .01 - and for trading on surge moves and short squeezes.
With many traders now known to be watching $SFLM at all times, those that try walking asks down are likely to get taken out by large buys - as has been happening over the past 66 trading days - and lose shares at just the wrong time.
As with all my long-term top picks, knowing who got what where - relative to you by process of elimination - is important when deciding the ratio of shares to keep long-term vs locking in partial profits.
Performance & Outlook
$SFLM [as $SKDI] was the #1 Top Profit Pick & #1 Top Actual Banked Profit Earning Stock of 2020 on my Watch List due to the multiple surges it experienced. As a long-term project, this enables more shares being held for future growth and uplisting to be effectively converted to "free" by trading a portion of the overall inventory on significant moves.
$SFLM is also the #1 Actual Banked Profit Earning Stock of 2021 on my Watch List due to the extent and frequency of its probable short squeeze runs.
$SFLM will remain a Top Profit Pick on my Watch List throughout 2021 and 2022 for self-evident reasons. It is currently trading well below where its market cap should be both for its current $10M revenue and for its planned 8 x revenue ahead under the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy. The company has already exceeded its 2021 revenue growth goals [see relevant sections above].
It pays to be ready at all times for surges, uplisting to OTCQB and the long-term.
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2021 and 2022 for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at various price points. Having plenty of shares - you don't need the cheapest - avoids the need to chase every time it runs and also locks up an ever increasing % of the low float and therefore deprives new interest of cheap shares - particularly those under .01.
Cancel any left over ask sell orders at close to get the maximum gap up at each open.
Expect .02+ at some point ahead - and much higher as the up to 8 x revenue from the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy kicks in (see forecast in earlier section) - and repeat runs in the meantime to .01 > .0150 - as the following catalysts play out:
- Awareness in the wider trading / investing community of the proven success and future potential of SFLMaven.
- Weekly eBay sales revenues visible to all share holders on a continuous basis.
- Updates from the company on sales weekly and PRs at least monthly.
- 2021 Q4 filings.
- Rebranding.
- Launch of SFLMaven's own on-line store - in addition to eBay.
- Broadening its multi-channel digital strategy [source: PR July 15].
- Exploring other sales channels outside of eBay to diversify and expand its reach [source: PR July 15].
- Addition of a Shopify store - launch TBA [source: 8th video]
- Diversification of luxury goods offered.
- Nationwide expansion of the NFT Division of SFLMaven.
- Collectibles Marketplace Strategy - acquire up to 10 x existing collectibles companies.
- Build revenue of each company to that of the current SFLMaven - $1M+ per month.
- Large investors found by MZ Group from both their client base and investor symposiums.
- Social media influencing and brand building conducted by Heather King PR & Marketing.
- Completion of audit to become "Fully Reporting"
- Uplist to OTCBQ.

SFLMaven Annual Revenue - As At December 24, 2021
Assume that week quoted in company update is December 18-24.
Previous 2021 Total to December 17, 2021: $9.804M
Revenue This Week: $0.196M
2021 Total to December 24, 2021: $10.000M
Note 1: The majority of the revenue comes in each Thursday when the auction ends.
Note 2: Estate items sold on eBay for 18 years - est June 2003 - revenue is limited only by inventory available each week.
Note 3: Pre-auction Buy It Now sales August 1-4 were $51,696 - yet again clearly demonstrating that revenue is limited only by inventory available each week.
Note 4: The pro-rata estimate for 2021 revenue - based on sales to December 24 and days to go - 365 / 358 x $ $10.000M = $10.195M.
Note 5: In addition, the current inventory at the 1st Dibs store available at "Buy It Now" set prices totals $0.331M.
