Plans to uplist to OTCQB - will require sustained bid above .01.
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 was filed on December 16, 2021 for a Public Offering at .0017 - so it 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).
A SEC Form 1-A/A was filed on January 14, 2022 amending the Previous Offering at .0017 stating that initial puchases must be a minimum of $50K and that follow on puchases must be a minimum of $10K.
Share Structure - Updated January 3, 2021
Transfer Agent Verified - updated at least monthly
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 > January 3]
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 > January 3]
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 > January 3]
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 71 trading days to December 31, 2021 as new interest tried bidding first but also bought some on the ask. By then, 823.3M shares - 98.3% of the low Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count - had been bought September 22 - December 31. As the balance at higher prices are held by longs, this should make it extremely thin to the upside in the .0052 > .02+ range.
New interest traders / commentators + long-term traders with significant followings as at January 16 numbered at least 165 - up another 8 in the last 7 days. One of the recent additions has 166K+ followers - the top 5 alone have 288K followers - see earlier post for list - and I'll be updating this going forward.
As predicted, breakout above .0020 started on January 3 - the first trading day of the new tax year.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys set across several successive asks - taking out any 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 although he is ridiculed whenever he appears now.
Any manipulators leave themselves open to getting short squeezed - as happened in 2021 on March 24 and March 29 for 129% and 84% runs and again on July 15 for 95%.
A number of times in 2021, more traders were willing to hit the ask above hold back attempts to top up their inventory of shares for trading throughout 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 81 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 at peaks in the .01 > .02+ range.
Performance & Outlook
$SFLM is the Joint #1 Top Profit Pick on my Watch List throughout 2022 for self-evident reasons. It is currently trading well below where its market cap should be both for its current $10.241M revenue and for its planned 8 x revenue ahead under the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy . The company exceeded its 2021 revenue growth target of 30% - achieving 34.75% [see relevant sections above].
$SFLM was also the #1 Top Profit Pick and #1 Top Actual Banked Profit Earning Stock on my Watch List of both 2021 and 2020 due to the extent and frequency of its probable short squeeze runs. 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 - particularly on interim peaks around .0150.
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 2022 and future years 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 a lso locks up an ever increasing % of the low float and thereby 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 in 2022 - and much higher in the longer term 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+ most months of the year.
- 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.

SFLMaven Annual Revenue - As At January 14, 2022
Assume that week quoted in company update is January 8-14 (Week 2)
Previous Total to January 7: $0.228M
Revenue This Week: $0.212M
2022 Total to January 14: $0.440M
Note 1: The majority of the revenue comes in each Thursday when the weekly auction ends.
Note 2: Estate items sold on eBay for 18 years - est June 2003 - revenue is limited only by the inventory available each week. This was clearly demonstrated several times during 2021 when desirable items were bought ahead of the auction eg "Buy It Now" sales August 1-4, 2021 were $51,696.
Note 3: 2021 Total Revenue: $10.241M.
Note 4: Pro-rata estimate for 2022 revenue - based on sales to January 14 and not including the anticipated increased earning rate from acquired collectibles companies or the NFT Division - 365 / 14 x $0.440M = $11.471M.

Plans to uplist to OTCQB - will require sustained bid above .01.
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 was filed on December 16, 2021 for a Public Offering at .0017 - so it 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).
A SEC Form 1-A/A was filed on January 14, 2022 amending the Previous Offering at .0017 stating that initial puchases must be a minimum of $50K and that follow on puchases must be a minimum of $10K.
Share Structure - Updated January 3, 2021
Transfer Agent Verified - updated at least monthly
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 > January 3]
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 > January 3]
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 > January 3]
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 .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 71 trading days to December 31, 2021 as new interest tried bidding first but also bought some on the ask. By then, 823.3M shares - 98.3% of the low Unrestricted Outstanding Shares count - had been bought September 22 - December 31. As the balance at higher prices are held by longs, this should make it extremely thin to the upside in the .0052 > .02+ range.
New interest traders / commentators + long-term traders with significant followings as at January 16 numbered at least 165 - up another 8 in the last 7 days. One of the recent additions has 166K+ followers - the top 5 alone have 288K followers - see earlier post for list - and I'll be updating this going forward.
As predicted, breakout above .0020 started on January 3 - the first trading day of the new tax year.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys set across several successive asks - taking out any 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 although he is ridiculed whenever he appears now.
Any manipulators leave themselves open to getting short squeezed - as happened in 2021 on March 24 and March 29 for 129% and 84% runs and again on July 15 for 95%.
A number of times in 2021, more traders were willing to hit the ask above hold back attempts to top up their inventory of shares for trading throughout 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 81 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 at peaks in the .01 > .02+ range.
Performance & Outlook
$SFLM is the Joint #1 Top Profit Pick on my Watch List throughout 2022 for self-evident reasons. It is currently trading well below where its market cap should be both for its current $10.241M revenue and for its planned 8 x revenue ahead under the Collectibles Marketplace Strategy . The company exceeded its 2021 revenue growth target of 30% - achieving 34.75% [see relevant sections above].
$SFLM was also the #1 Top Profit Pick and #1 Top Actual Banked Profit Earning Stock on my Watch List of both 2021 and 2020 due to the extent and frequency of its probable short squeeze runs. 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 - particularly on interim peaks around .0150.
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 2022 and future years 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 a lso locks up an ever increasing % of the low float and thereby 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 in 2022 - and much higher in the longer term 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+ most months of the year.
- 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 January 14, 2022
Assume that week quoted in company update is January 8-14 (Week 2)
Previous Total to January 7: $0.228M
Revenue This Week: $0.212M
2022 Total to January 14: $0.440M
Note 1: The majority of the revenue comes in each Thursday when the weekly auction ends.
Note 2: Estate items sold on eBay for 18 years - est June 2003 - revenue is limited only by the inventory available each week. This was clearly demonstrated several times during 2021 when desirable items were bought ahead of the auction eg "Buy It Now" sales August 1-4, 2021 were $51,696.
Note 3: 2021 Total Revenue: $10.241M.
Note 4: Pro-rata estimate for 2022 revenue - based on sales to January 14 and not including the anticipated increased earning rate from acquired collectibles companies or the NFT Division - 365 / 14 x $0.440M = $11.471M.
