CapitalGainsReport Momentum Watchlist: Stocks On The Run (EPAZ, TTCM, FFIE, THMO)

RazorPitch EPAZ

Investing in penny stocks is a high-risk, high-reward endeavor that can offer significant returns for those who are willing to take a chance. One of the essential factors to consider when trading penny stocks is momentum, the upward trend that can propel a stock to new heights. While investing in penny stocks can be risky, the potential for substantial gains is what makes it so exciting. With careful research, analysis, and a willingness to take calculated risks, investors can identify promising opportunities and potentially profit from the momentum of these exciting companies. When momentum builds behind a penny stock, it can quickly gain value and experience big gains, making it worth paying attention to in order to gauge its potential future trajectory. For investors looking to capitalize on these gains and potentially reap substantial rewards, keeping a close eye on these four stocks and their performance in the coming days and weeks is essential. The first company is Epazz, Inc. (OTC: EPAZ), which on Wednesday closed up 29.57%. Epazz is an innovative company leading the way in cutting-edge drone technology, blockchain mobile apps, and cloud-based business software solutions that are vital to modern businesses. Recently, the EPAZ spinoff ZenaDrone announced that their groundbreaking AI-predictive drone Smart Charging Pad has recently been granted a utility patent from the US Government, which will also pave the way for international patents to be filed in countries such as Ukraine, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and Brazil, opening up even more business opportunities for Epazz Inc. The utility patent covers the ZenaDrone Smart Charging Pad, a game-changer in the drone charging industry, providing a more affordable solution for charging drones that weigh over 250 pounds. Currently, the charging options on the market include competitors who charge exorbitant prices for drone chargers only capable of charging drones weighing less than 55 pounds, ranging from $4,000 to $15,000. However, the ZenaDrone Smart Charging Pad, which can charge the ZenaDrone 1000, which weighs over 250 pounds, will be priced at less than $15,000, making it significantly more affordable than the competition and more capable. With its advanced technology and environmentally friendly design, the ZenaDrone Smart Charging Pad is capable of understanding and learning from its surroundings and selecting the optimal energy source, making it an appealing choice for businesses operating in remote areas. Equipped with updated AI predictive automation software, the ZenaDrone 1000 is specifically designed for use in the military, as well as oil and gas, and agriculture industries. Moreover, Epazz recently submitted Phase 1 SBIR proposals to the U.S. government, which could result in significant government contracts worth up to $15 million over the next three years if the company is selected in the process. The banning of Chinese-made drones within the US government has opened up significant opportunities for the company. Epazz CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D., said, “We are taking multiple pathways to become a government contractor of drones. It is a major opportunity for us, as Chinese drones are banned in the US government. It has opened up major demands for our drones.” The US government has a major need for non-Chinese drones. The government is pushing initiatives to obtain made-in-America drones through its BlueUAS program. ZenaDrone is currently in the process of applying for BlueUAS. According to the company, the current list of American-made drones is very short. For investors looking for a profitable opportunity in a quickly expanding market, Epazz is a promising penny stock due to its competitive pricing, state-of-the-art technology, and rising demand. Investing in Epazz could have the potential to provide substantial returns for those who are quick to seize this opportunity. Another potential momentum play from Wednesday is Tautachrome, Inc. (OTC:TTCM), which finished the day up 55.56%. Tautachrome is a technology-driven company that specializes in the development of cutting-edge Internet applications. TTCM is an early-stage Internet applications company that is actively involved in a variety of business and technology development initiatives, such as KlickZie ARknet technology, KlickZie's blockchain trading currency ecosystem, and KlickZie-activated digital imagery businesses. In addition, TTCM provides augmented reality, smartphone-image authentication, and imagery-based social networking interaction services. The gains on Wednesday followed an 8-K filing, detailing an exchange between El Dorado Family Group, Ltd., and Tautachrome. El Dorado Group receives 5,000,000 shares of “Series H Preferred Stock” from Tautachrome Inc. in exchange for a Royalty-Free Grant of Exclusive Use-license of certain intellectual properties having appraised value of $514,441,340. Keep TTCM on your watchlist to see if the stock can carry its momentum through the week. Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIE), a California-based global shared intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, rose 9.59% on Wednesday. Faraday Future is a disruptor of the conventional ultra-luxury car civilization and a leader in the market for the most advanced intelligent tech-luxury ultra-smart vehicles in the intelligent EV era. On the 14th, the company issued a statement stating that they are aware of the current news and reports surrounding Silicon Valley Bank’s liquidity concerns and that they do not have any cash or cash equivalents on deposit at Silicon Valley Bank and don’t have any other direct relationship with Silicon Valley Bank. The update also verified that FFIE's U.S. operations now have a dealer license from the State of California. FFIE expects to go to market using a unique direct sales model. Faraday Future also confirmed that they will hold their final launch event for the FF-9 Futurist electric vehicle on April 26, 2023. Though in a different price sector than the rest of the stocks, one that was on fire on Wednesday was ThermoGenesis Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:THMO). ThermoGenesis Holdings' shares experienced a significant surge of up to 98.59% by the end of trading on Wednesday, following the company's announcement of its plan to introduce 12 ReadyStart current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) suites in Rancho Cordova, California. These suites will cater to early-stage cell and gene therapy companies. This move represents a significant milestone in THMO’s transformation from a medical-device company to a contract development and manufacturing organization in the gene-editing field. According to ThermoGenesis, if fully occupied, the 35,500-square-foot facility could generate $10 million to $16 million in annual revenue. The company anticipates that the suites will be available to customers in the second or third quarter of 2023.

How Technology Is Helping Frontline Workers Get Healthy Food

Blendid

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Interested in investing in Blendid’s campaign? Click here to get started! Consumer demand for healthy food options has skyrocketed in recent years; COVID-19 put health on many people's minds and changed consumers’ standards as well as their priorities. A recent study showed that 54% of all consumers care more about the healthfulness of their food in 2020 than they did in 2010. Healthfulness is now the biggest determining factor in purchasing food, even more than taste and price. However, healthy food is not always accessible, especially for frontline workers or individuals who work overnight shifts. While McDonald’s and other fast-food chains of the world operate on a late-night or 24-hour model, you would be hard-pressed to find a health food store that is open late and can serve populations of workers like nurses, truck drivers, and more. For these late-night workers, their only real option is often unhealthy fast-food, and even fast food has become less of an option in the post-pandemic world. COVID-19 and labor shortages have resulted in fewer retailers with 24/7 service. Because of this, more and more previously 24/7 establishments like McDonald’s are closing early and leaving overnight shift workers without any options. Blendid, a robotic and AI-enabled food automation solution company, is creating clever solutions to this problem. The company has seen firsthand the success of a fully autonomous robotic kiosk for smoothies. Their kiosks operate in universities, travel centers, retail stores and hospitals across the country. The kiosks can operate 24/7, which gives consumers access to healthy and affordable food around the clock while the company is able to maintain low operational costs. Blendid’s 24/7 kiosks provide healthy alternatives for workers when they need them most. The company has kiosks at two Love’s Travel Stops in California and a location at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, among others. A truck driver who frequents one of the Love’s Travel Stops shared, “That juice-making robot is awesome. I loved watching it. Truck drivers need raw nutrition." The company’s robotic model enables fresh food to be offered where it previously hasn’t been and during all hours of the day, not just traditional daytime working hours. Not to mention, all Blendid locations offer the capability of ordering ahead and customizing ingredients to fit customers’ needs and nutritional wants. The company has seen a 267% revenue increase year-over-year which is unsurprising given the consumer demand for healthy and sustainable food. Not only is the kiosk model contactless, but also being open 24/7 increases the accessibility of healthy food. For college students or late-night workers, who typically have limited access to healthier foods, Blendid is giving people options they didn’t previously have. If projections are to be believed, the food robotics industry is only going to continue to grow. The global market for food robotics was estimated at $2.1 billion in 2022, and the market is projected to reach $4B by 2026. Companies like Blendid will be instrumental in the industry by providing unique experiences and options for consumers on the go. Technology is helping bring healthy and affordable food where people need it most. Blendid is currently hosting a raise to further expand its ingenious concept. The company is currently working on expanding to 10 additional geographies in the near future and has 500+ kiosks in contract. Previously, it raised more than $26 million which translated into significant revenue growth. Blendid could be well-positioned as an industry leader and seems eager to meet the consumer demand for on-the-go 24/7 healthy food. Interested in investing and being a part of their growth story? Click here to read more about Blendid’s raise and how to invest! This article was originally on Benzinga here. Sunnyvale-based Blendid is revolutionizing the future of food service with its proprietary food automation platform (foodOS™), which efficiently and safely prepares and serves a range of healthy, fresh, and delicious food. A pioneer of the future of food service, Blendid's first concept in the market is an autonomous, contactless kiosk that uses robotics, machine vision, artificial intelligence, and healthy ingredients to create delicious smoothies that are customized to meet the unique health and dietary preferences of each consumer. Founded in 2015 by seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneurs Vipin Jain, Venki Avalur, and Vijay Dodd, Blendid is improving the consumer experience by offering safe, cost-effective, and personalized food on-demand, while also reducing complexities and costs for the operators. Blendid has raised more $20M to date from a mix of venture and crowdfunding investors and is currently raising its Series B investment round.

These Bonds Might Be Useful Investments For All Stages Of Life

Compound Banc

Investing is a lifelong process that many recommend beginning as soon as they start earning money, but not all investment vehicles are suited for all stages of life. The choice of investment can change at different stages, whether someone is starting their career or is on the verge of retirement. When young and single, people can generally take chances with their money — and potentially see a greater return on investment — than is possible when married with young children or approaching retirement. But now, there’s an investment opportunity that brings potentially lucrative real estate investing to people at all stages of life. Financial technology (fintech) company Compound Real Estate Bonds Inc. is offering real estate savings bonds that are accessible to everyone. For as little as $10, everyday investors can buy a Compound Real Estate Bond and receive a fixed 7.00% annual yield compound return on their investments. Compounding happens when earnings are reinvested to generate additional earnings over time. It’s Easy To Buy Compound Bonds Every day investors can use the company’s digital app to purchase Compound Bonds. Compound lends the investors funds to cash-generating mortgages, or invests in the properties. The borrowers repay Compound with interest on the loans, and the proceeds are disbursed — with interest — to bondholders. Compound Bonds don’t have a maturity date, so investors can keep earning as long as they want or cash them out at any time. Compound doesn’t charge fees for maintenance, setup, redemption or advisers, which eliminates many roadblocks to real estate investing. By investing bond proceeds in real estate, Compound gives its customers access to what historically has often been considered among the most stable investment classes. The company reports that it invests in high-quality real estate – including residential, commercial and industrial properties – which is intended to give it a diversified portfolio of income-producing properties and real estate related debt. Compound says its diversified real estate investing approach delivers outperformance by generating sustainable income and competitive capital returns.
