Moxian, Inc.’s (MOXC) Artful Approach to the Trillion-Dollar O2O Market

In his immortal treatise on the conduct of warfare, The Art of War, Sun Tzu Wu, commander of the Ch'i armies, stressed the importance of indirect tactics or doing things differently. The English military historian, B.H. Liddell Hart, in his The Strategy of Indirect Approach, published in 1941, later examined this point. Captain Liddell Hart analyzed important historic battles and came to a conclusion that validated Sun Tzu’s 2,500-year-old maxim that battles are won by those who attack their opponent’s weaknesses. This is a principle that the captains of Moxian, Inc. (OTCQB: MOXC) know all too well. In the company's…

Smith-Midland Corp. (SMID) Primed to Build on Position at Forefront of the Domestic Precast Concrete Market

Despite its more than five and a half decades at the forefront of the domestic precast concrete market, Smith-Midland’s (OTCQX: SMID) recent coverage gives the impression that the company has only recently sprung into existence, fully armored, like Athena being born from the forehead of Zeus. Currently enjoying a nice pop following the release of its Q2 financials on August 11, shares of this ceaselessly innovative precast concrete manufacturer are now trading around pre-2008 highs, with considerable tailwind in the form of numerous recent project successes. Globally speaking, the precast concrete industry itself is seeing something of a rebound, after…

Star Mountain’s (SMRS) Management is Minding its Mine

Late last year, when Star Mountain Resources (OTC: SMRS) acquired the Balmat zinc mine near Gouverneur in St. Lawrence County, New York, its president, Mark Osterberg, spoke to North Country Public Radio.

Yet the Star Mountain management team was casting a perspicacious eye to the future. Osterberg, noting that his company was well aware of the economic climate, said at the time: "The mining cycle is down, which means that assets like Balmat are available at bargain…

OurPet’s Company’s (OPCO) Innovative Mousetraps for Cats and Dogs

If Ralph Waldo Emerson’s theorem, paraphrased as ‘build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door’, is valid, OurPet’s Company (OTCQX: OPCO) is following ‘a broad hard-beaten road’ to success. OurPet’s Company got into the pet care industry precisely to make the aphoristic mousetrap better. It’s doing that and making new mousetraps too. Writing in 1855, Emerson was expressing his belief that ‘common fame’, what we would now call a good reputation, would eventually make itself known, which is true for OurPet’s Company, a company with a reputation for innovation. It is a company that…

At Giggles N’ Hugs (GIGL), Children can be Seen and Heard

Last year The Washington Post published an article with the captivating title ‘The most important thing you can do with your kids? Eat dinner with them.’ It was penned by Anne Fishel, a professor at Harvard Medical School, who is a founder of The Family Dinner Project and author of “Home for Dinner”. It’s a piece that every parent should read, pointing as it does to often unexploited opportunities for childhood development at mealtimes. Two parents who know of these fortuities are Joey and Dorsa Parsi, who founded Giggles N’ Hugs (OTCQB: GIGL) in 2007. A feature in Bloomberg Businessweek…

Monaker Group, Inc. (MKGI) Well Positioned for Seismic Shift in Consumer Spending

According to a recent Nasdaq article (http://nnw.fm/kBav6), retail store earnings have not been moving much in the past few months. The research showed a shift in consumers habits whereby Americans are spending more on experiences such as travel and entertainment rather than clothing, accessories, and electronics.

Healthcare and travel are at the forefront of spending, with healthcare making up 20% of total consumption, a number that’s up from just 5% in the 60’s. And information from First Data Corp. shows a rise in spending on travel of 8.6% since…

Net Element, Inc. (NETE) Expanding Payments Market Share Internationally as Tech Giants Jockey for Position in the U.S.

Google Wallet, the peer-to-peer payments service developed by Google (NASDAQ: GOOG; GOOGL), was first released in the United States in September 2011. From the beginning, Google Pay allowed its users to make point-of-sale purchases with their mobile devices using near-field communication (NFC) technology. Four years later, the multinational tech giant shifted its NFC payments to Android Pay, limiting contactless payments to users of its Android mobile operating system. This move made sense, as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Google’s primary competitor in the mobile operating system space, released its proprietary Apple Pay platform months earlier in October 2014. Both Apple and Google…
