Ran from .0007 (available previously) > .0012 on September 7 - 71%
Ran from .0005 (previous close) > .0007 on September 30 - 40%
Trading Patterns - New Business Model - November 15, 2022 Onwards
Ran from .0004 > .0007 on November 15 - 75%
Ran from .0007 > .0010 on November 18 - 43%
Moved up from .0004 > .0005 on February 16 - 25%
Moved up from .0005 > .0006 on March 16 - 20%
With confirmation of the CEO change, the 2022 Annual Report filed and the WY SOS updates of May 12, we might well see significant additional buying ]over the next few weeks/months.
Expect a dramatic move up anytime we get sufficiently large buys set across several successive asks - as happened on November 15 and November 18.
We should get past any remaining mass 1-tick flippers by .0010 and be back to a more normal few M per .0001 from .0011 > .0020 then much thinner still after that all the way to the .01>.02+ range IMO.
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 - as is patience - this is a long-term play throughout 2023.
Performance & Outlook
$SFLM will remain a potential top profit pick for me throughout 2023 and into 2024 for self-evident reasons in this Overview.
Performance in each year 2020 > 2022 has shown that it pays to be ready at all times for surges with tradeable lots from multiple price points - not just trying to get the cheapest of the year and stretch them..
Continued large profit trading opportunities are anticipated ahead throughout 2023 and future years for those who maintain a large inventory of shares at a variety of price points. Having plenty of shares - you don't need the cheapest - avoids the need to chase every time it runs.
With some OTC tickers now adding 10 Billion - even 50 Billion - shares per update, $SFLM remains one of the thinnest sub .02 tickers in the OTC with an immediately tradeable Unrestricted Outstanding shares count of only 2.019 Billion unchanged for 217 days as at June 6, 2023.
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 2023 / later years and watch out for the following catalysts:
- Updates on the "impressive deal flow of prospects that could be acquired or technology that could be licensed by SFLM” [source: PR November 15, 2022]
- Updates on the lithium mining initiative for batteries.
- Updates on acquisitions.
- Possible name change.
- Possible ticker change.
SEC Action Against Actions Of Previous CEO - Matter Now Closed
The SEC had been investigating the old company under the previous CEO for selling unregistered offerings October 10, 2019 up to December 9, 2021. This accounted for why share increases declared monthly at otcmarkets.com during that period appeared to be insignificant compared to the total volume traded in each period. The matter is now closed with $SFLM agreeing to pay a $25K fine in quarterly installments.
