https://dailystockdeals.com/featured-deals

Oncotelic Therapeutics, OTLC, is a unique Immuno-Oncology company at the cutting edge of medical research and discovery of precision medicine – Oncotelic is creating new pathways by combining AI tools to accelerate discovery by a magnitude, the AI (in the cloud) helps their team of scientists select the best and most effective molecules, eliminate subpar molecules from the earliest stage of discovery, thereby, saving precious time and increasing the chances of breakthrough discoveries, eliminating the probability of errors and omission by a significant margin, and by merging the AI tools with proven expertise in medicine, the Oncotelic team has cut the time and reduced R&D budget leakage and waste by a huge margin, at Oncotelic every R&D dollar is optimized to deliver better ROI and highly effective drugs/therapies in the most efficient manner than ever before.

Oncotelic is led by one of the most renowned scientists in America, a pioneer in immuno-oncology, a man with 39 Patents to his name and over 100 Patent Applications Pending – Dr. Vuong Trieu.

Dr. Vuong was a joint patent holder who helped develop the block-buster billion dollar drug Abraxane™   – now owned by Bristol-Myers Squibb, NYSE: BMY, a $144 billion dollar company.

Dr. Vuong has put together a team of highly distinguished scientists and researchers, and a superb management team with years of proven marketing, brand building and scaling experience – a team that has turned startups into multi-billion dollar enterprises.

Oncotelic Developing Distinct Drugs Targeting Several Extremely Brutal Diseases (Each of them has the potential to be a block buster) let’s focus on one for now.

Primary Focus:

The one we are most excited about for the time being (without diminishing the importance of the other drugs that are in various stages of development) is a potential therapy that could increase the efficacy of an existing FDA approved drug (by as much as 100%) a drug that has generated over $17 billion in revenue last year alone and expected to hit $20 billion in 2025. The name of the drug is Keytruda owned by Merck.

Keytruda meet > OT-101

What Dr. Vuong and his excellent team did here is absolutely breathtaking! Dr. Vuong likes Keytruda, it’s great and it’s helping a lot of folks but it could do more, a whole lot more!  When you combine the existing drug (Keytruda) with Dr. Vuong’s breakthrough discovery (after the FDA approval) the initial indications are that the rate of efficacy of Keytruda can increase by up to 100%!

Dr. Vuong’s newly discovered – inhibitor blocker eliminator – when given to patients along with Keytruda, the patients who are currently not benefiting can benefit! Imagine the relief combo-therapy can bring to the patients and their families around the world, right now, a lot of patients who can not benefit from Keytruda alone – can soon benefit from the combination therapy which Dr. Vuong has discovered!

Dr. Voung’s discovery is one of the most brilliant things I’ve ever seen –  let me recap – A highly successful FDA approved Block Buster Drug that’s on the market today, whose efficacy can jump as much as 100% from where it is now – That’s what motivates me and the team at Oncotelic, a lot of patients and their families are needlessly suffering now!

As an investor you obviously look at the size of addressable market and that’s what motivates investors, right?  As I’ve mentioned Keytruda has made $17 billion for Merck last year – if Dr. Vuong’s invention/discovery helps increase the efficacy rate of Keytruda even by only 50%, you do the math!  We are talking about an opportunity worth billions! Think about it.

OT-101 Pipeline

Oncotelic is an artificial intelligence driven immuno-oncology company with a robust pipeline of first in class TGF-β immunotherapies for late stage cancers such as gliomas, pancreatic cancer and melanoma.

DigitalTown powered city portals are social and commerce hubs where consumers recommend their favorite restaurants & beauty shops, write reviews, discover local events, find doctors, dentists and plumbers.

DigitalTown Growing Rapidly

The company is growing organically and through smart acquisitions. The company acquired and successfully integrated half a dozen companies and looking to acquire more as it continues to grow at a rapid pace.

Cloud.Market:  Acquired for 750,000 shares and $7,500 cash.  This acquisition gave DigitalTown a platform on both web and mobile.  Chris  Maxwell, the Founder who was ex-Amazon has led the development of this platform that allowed any city to be its own Amazon. The acquisition gave DigitalTown both a working platform and a talented engineering team. Although integration began in January, 2016, the DigitalTown Board formally approved the acquisition at the March 4, 2016 Board meeting in Mesa, AZ.

Software Masters: Acquired for 150,000 common shares, this acquisition gave DigitalTown a solution for powering the back office of local government.  Software Masters’ product, GovSuite, powers the 90,000-person Madison County, Kentucky.  This technology has been in commercial use for 6 years and was in the process of being commercialized into a product that could be sold on a multi-tenant basis as Software as a Service (Saas). Through the deal, DigitalTown also secured an excellent portfolio of .CITY domains.

Rezserve: Acquired for 3 million shares and a $400,000 convertible note, with a 1 year term, interest-free.  The convertible note is secured only by the equity of Rezserve with no contingency on any other DigitalTown assets. This acquisition gave DigitalTown a fully commercialized solution for powering online travel booking. The technology has been in development since 2003. Rezserve processes in excess of $25 million in annual travel bookings using the Rezserve platform in Whistler, Canada alone.

Appointment.com: Acquired for 1.625 million shares, the acquisition gave DigitalTown a robust and commercialized solution for online appointment booking.  The platform powered nearly 1 million calendar bookings per year with nearly 1000 paying customers. The main opportunity from this acquisition is the ability to support any type of service-oriented business with a cloud-based booking solution, i.e. the “Open Table for Everything”, covering a broad range of service provider categories.

Integration of each acquisition has gone very well. There has been no loss of personnel, or impairment of assets.  Of the 4 companies, Rezserve and Appointment.com continue to operate as independent brands and have the ability to grow substantial revenues on a stand-alone basis through dramatically accelerated marketing of this mature solution by leveraging DigitalTown’s .CITY website network as a hub for online bookings for lodging and activities.

OMAG, Omagine, Company Profile

Posted on July 4, 2016 by otcking

Omagine, Inc. (OTCQB: OMAG) Profile, Summary

Omagine is an entertainment, hospitality and tourism company with significant residential and commercial real estate development and property management activities.

The company is headquartered in New York City and has a subsidiary in Muscat, Oman. Omagine is focused on MENA Region real-estate development and hospitality opportunities because the company believes the enormous financial resources in the MENA region combined with a recent shift in economic development strategies of regional Governments present huge opportunities. (See how OMAG could benefit from it, click here)

The Vision

The company has signed a $2.5 billion development agreement with the Government of Oman, developing a mixed-use Tourism/Residential and Commercial/Retail project known as – The Omagine Project. The 245 acre prime beachfront property is located just 6 miles from Muscat International Airport. The beautiful Pearl shaped buildings will overlook the serene Gulf of Oman, surrounded by a vibrant art and culture scene, poised to inspire the world.

The Omagine Project is designed as an exquisite, modern architectural marvel built with environmentally friendly materials in a family friendly living/working space. It blends local values and customs for today’s global citizens where residents and visitors live, work and play in complete harmony with nature.

The existing majestic Sultan Qaboos Street, home to Muscat’s many landmarks, provides easy access to The Omagine Project, where art and culture thrive, residents and visitors experience Arabian hospitality, dine in fine restaurants and shop at exclusive showrooms of global brands. (See project overview, click here)

The Future

Most Americans are familiar with The Palm Islands of Dubai. The Palm started with a vision and a simple rendering, despite huge challenges, the vision came true. Dubai became one of the world’s top tourist destinations and one of most expensive real estate markets in the world.

The Omagine Project – and its Pearls – has the potential to become the next major tourism destination and one of the most highly desired real estate markets. Muscat could become the next hot destination for the tourists around the world.

Timing and Location is Everything!

The timing couldn’t be better for Chinese investors. The Stock Market in China down sharply and the Chinese economy slowing down considerably. Chinese investors looking for an alternative, discovered Dubai. Investors from China are flocking to Dubai. Huge demand from investors is driving up real estate prices in Dubai and the cost of living and doing business in Dubai has increased dramatically.

We believe, The Omagine Project (Muscat) offers the next great opportunity for investors and Global corporations doing business in the Middle East. Muscat’s low cost of living and cheaper office space offers a better ROI.

The Pearls (Muscat) expected to meet or exceed the lifestyle choice and luxury for less. It’s a great opportunity for Global corporations to establish their MENA headquarters in Muscat. Also, a unique opportunity for accredited investors seeking to diversify their portfolios.

OMAG in Times of Oman

$2.5 billion Omagine pearl project set for 2017 in Oman

July 12, 2016

by Rahul Das/rahuldas@timesofoman.com

Muscat: Construction work on the multi-billion dollar Omagine Project is scheduled to begin in 2017 and should be complete by 2024, according to the Ministry of Tourism (MoT).

Located in Seeb, the project features seven pearl-shaped buildings which will host hotels, offices, residences and entertainment venues on one million square metres of land, the MoT said.

The project is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs for nationals when it is completed in seven year’s time. The slump in global oil prices has meant project managers have been seeking further funding globally, according to Omagine chairman Frank J. Drohan.

Speaking to Times of Oman, Drohan said that they are in advanced discussions with several institutional and private entities in the United States, Europe and China to finance the project as a quite rational response to the present regional banking environment. “Other companies and governments regionally are quite rationally also reaching out to the international financial markets,” he said.

Drohan said that the longer term project finance is needed only after the detailed master planning and architectural design is completed. “And that is the reason we are working hard on many fronts with Consolidated Contractors Co (CCC) and other investors in Oman and the GCC, Europe, the US and China to make that happen,” he said.

It was in October 2014, Omagine LLC, signed a development agreement with the Government of Oman for the development of a $2.5 billion real-estate and tourism project known as the Omagine Project.

In March 2015 the Ministry of Finance in Oman ratified the development agreement. In July 2015 the development rights to the 245 acres of beachfront land were registered with the government of Oman. In May, Omagine Inc. also sponsored The World Summit on Innovation & Entrepreneurship (WSIE) at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City.

The Omagine Project will have three hotels (which will include serviced apartments and chalets), a boutique mall, an open air amphitheatre, exhibition venues, a harbour and marina area, offices, more than 2,000 residences and a large number of cafes, restaurants and entertainment venues. The Omagine Project will have seven pearl shaped buildings, each with a different theme, such as the Oman Pearl, Innovation Pearl, Energy Pearl, Culture Pearl and Earth, Sea and Sky Pearls.

The Pearls will feature a wide range of tourism experiences, simulations, games, interactive demonstrations, multi-media presentations and a planetarium and a multiplex.

OTCKING.COM Features DSGT, a Leading GPS and Ad Platform

How GPS Technology and Data Are Helping the Golf Business Monetize More Effectively

SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 28, 2016 / DSG GLOBAL INC. (DSGT) is a proven industry leader, whose TAG Systems solution is used by over 300 major golf courses around the world to track their fleets of golf carts and turf equipment. DSG with its sophisticated data capturing technology is quickly becoming a leader of data capture in the golf industry.

“There’s Google, Apple and now DSG,” said Adrian Fulle, Chief Marketing Technologist at DSG. “Our digital assets are already deployed on hundreds of golf courses around the world and we are in a unique position to capture data on fleets of golf carts and golf courses.”

Through their interactive TOUCH solution on golf carts and other fleet vehicles, DSG is able to gather intelligent data about key consumer habits.

“Golf is one of the best consumer segments for data gathering,” explained Fulle. “Golfers are among the most affluent and have high disposable income. And when they’re playing a round of golf, they’re a captivated audience for 4 hours or more and they’re most likely to interact with our digital assets. It doesn’t get much better than that for advertisers.”

The data collected through this technology has become a valuable asset for the company and its clients. The company’s R3 advertising revenue program, due to launch in July, will utilize this data to the advantage of courses and advertisers.

“Knowing your fleet history and how your fleet operates from the micro to the macro is extremely important for making informed decisions on future operations, but knowing your consumer, the golfer, is just as valuable. It allows the golf course operators to create better and better experiences for the golfing consumer and for advertisers to display more and more relevant advertising. It’s win-win for everyone,” added Fulle.

Daily Stock Deals has stated in its coverage (See full profile click here) that over 15,000,000 (fifteen million) trucks traverse American highways transporting trillions of dollars of goods from coast to coast every year. Highway fatalities in recent years increased sharply and property damage claims have skyrocketed to billions of dollars.

“Trucking is the lifeblood of our country,” said Adrian Fulle, Chief Marketing Technologist at DSG. “It accounts for a whopping 70% of all shipping in North America. To be able to track in real time, know where any shipment is at any given moment and send help if there’s an issue is priceless to our nation’s economy.”

DSG Global’s proprietary TAG technology combines the advanced GPS TAG and the TAG Management Center software to help save lives, reduce fuel costs, improve on-time delivery and save millions of dollars in property damages.

VALUATION

Starting with Pandora’s market cap per user of $38.63 and then applying a 65% discount to account for Pandora’s first mover advantage, dominant competitive position, and execution track record, we arrived at a market cap per user of $13.52. Based on management’s aggressive marketing plan, it can be estimated that StationDigital will have approximately 5 million monthly active users by the end of 2016. Applying this $13.52 market cap per user to 5 million monthly active user results in a StationDigital target market capitalization of $67.6 million or price per share of $0.81.

Our target price of $0.81 is over 2.0 times the current share price of $0.40 providing significant upside price potential while also being only 35% above the Company’s recent high of $0.60 last October.

YouTube makes ZERO Dollars with Billion Visitors, Google’s deep pockets foot the bill. Find out how Facebook make $3 billion dollars

Posted on March 8, 2015 by otcking

Facebook generated $3 billion dollar profit from its 1.3 Billion Users

YouTube Generated ZERO Dollar profit from its 1 Billion Viewers

Revenue growing at Google video site, but still limited by narrow audience

Google Inc. nurtured YouTube into a cultural phenomenon, attracting more than one billion users each month. Still, YouTube hasn’t become a profitable business.

The online-video unit posted revenue of about $4 billion in 2014, up from $3 billion a year earlier, according to two people familiar with its financials, as advertiser-friendly moves enticed some big brands to spend more. But while YouTube accounted for about 6% of Google’s overall sales last year, it didn’t contribute to earnings. After paying for content, and the equipment to deliver speedy videos, YouTube’s bottom line is “roughly break-even,” according to a person with knowledge of the figure.

By comparison, Facebook Inc. generated more than $12 billion in revenue, and nearly $3 billion in profit, from its 1.3 billion users last year.

The results reflect YouTube’s struggles to expand its core audience beyond teens and tweens. Many YouTube users treat the site as a video repository to be accessed from links or embedded video players posted elsewhere, rather than visiting YouTube.com daily. Google executives want them to turn on YouTube the way they turn on television, as a habit, where they can expect to find different “channels” of entertainment.

That is a problem still facing veteran Google executive Susan Wojcicki as she begins her second year running YouTube, one that could be tougher to solve if declining profit margins for Google overall limit her ability to invest in new content and services.

New challengers also add urgency to her task. Facebook and Twitter Inc., which routinely send traffic to YouTube, are building their own video offerings. Facebook, and startups such as Vessel, are trying to poach YouTube stars. Meanwhile, Amazon.com Inc. and Netflix Inc. are changing the image of “online video” by licensing Hollywood-produced content and creating original programming.

“There’s a lot of junk” on YouTube, says Pivotal Research analyst Brian Weiser. “If they want meaningful TV budgets, they need to invest in TV content.”

Robert Kyncl, YouTube’s head of business and content operations, says online video is on the cusp of a growth spurt, much like cable television 30 years ago. He says it makes more sense for YouTube to invest in “Internet native creators,” rather than traditional TV shows.

Google bought YouTube in 2006 for $1.65 billion, but generated little revenue in the early years. Revenue accelerated in part due to skippable ads YouTube introduced in 2010. Viewers like them because they can skip ads they don’t want to watch; advertisers like them because they pay only when viewers do watch.

Solar Panels are now Standard for New Houses, Electricity Bills Drop by 20%, Home Builders Harvesting the Sun

Posted on March 8, 2015 by otcking

Home Builders Tap the Sun

Solar Panels Are Standard for New Houses in Some Areas; Electricity at 20% Off

GOLDEN, Colo.—When Donnie and Michelle Holsworth bought a three-bedroom house here in October from builder Lennar Corp. , they got more than a home. The purchase included 20 years of cut-rate electricity powered by a Lennar-owned solar system on the roof.

Many companies have been trying to make it easier and cheaper for homeowners to generate electricity from the sun, chipping away at the utilities’ monopolies. The number of residential solar installations has climbed, aided by their declining cost and government incentives.

Now home builders have jumped in. Such systems are less expensive to install during a house’s construction than afterward, while some builders offer the cheaper option to lease a system rather than buy one.

The moves are applauded by solar advocates, who say the involvement of builders will increase solar usage while eliminating the steep upfront cost of the equipment, which can run from $10,000 to $20,000.

“Up to this point, retrofits have been by far the largest portion” of homes with solar power, said Rhone Resch, chief executive of the Solar Energy Industries Association, a trade group. But that could change, he said, as more builders incorporate solar.

Few companies have gone as far as Lennar, the nation’s second-largest home builder. Consumers shopping for a Lennar home in more than 100 of its developments in California, 11 in Colorado and a handful in Nevada find that almost all the houses have solar panels. The company plans to expand the program to more states, focusing on locations that have programs to encourage renewable energy.

“We aren’t offering homes with solar as an option—it’s a standard feature” in certain communities, said David Kaiserman, president of Lennar Ventures, which oversees the builder’s solar project.

Other builders, including KB Home and Meritage Homes Corp. , don’t keep ownership of the hardware but opt to either sell the entire system to buyers or let a third-party provider install and operate the solar gear.

Penny Stocks Fueling Big Dollar Dreams. Fannie, Freddie and Other Cheap stocks Spur a Rush on OTC

Posted on May 27, 2014 by otcking

Investors are piling into the shares of small, risky companies at the fastest clip on record, in search of investments that promise a chance of outsize returns.

The investors are buying up so-called penny stocks—shares of mostly tiny companies that aren’t listed on major U.S. exchanges—at a pace that far eclipses the tech boom of the late 1990s. Those include firms that focus on areas from medical marijuana and biotechnology to fuel-cell development and precious-metals mining—industries that are perceived by some investors as carrying strong growth potential.

Average monthly trading volume at OTC Markets Group Inc., OTCM 0.00% which handles trading in shares that aren’t listed on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq Stock Market, NDAQ +0.25% has risen 40% this year in dollar terms from a year ago, to a record $23.5 billion.

The renewed interest in a market that used to be known as the pink sheets—because of the colored pieces of paper once used to record prices for unlisted stocks—shows investors are ramping up risk in a bid to boost returns as U.S. stock indexes are hovering near highs and stock valuations have risen above historical norms.

Steve Templeton, 42 years old and a full-time day trader, said his winnings on unlisted medical-marijuana stocks allowed him to move to Tennessee, where there is no state capital-gains tax, from California earlier this year.

“I like things below three cents, because of the upside potential, and it limits the downside,” Mr. Templeton said. “I buy twice what I want, and when it [doubles or triples], I sell half, and keep the rest.”

One of his more successful investments this year has been Latteno Food Corp. LATF +4.76% , a maker of edible medical-marijuana products company based in Denver. He bought two million shares at $0.0008 in mid-January, and sold one million shares when the stock more than doubled to $0.002 less than two weeks later. Shares hit $0.0042 each in recent trading, about five times the price he originally paid.

Many smaller companies have seen sharply higher trading volumes this year, including 2050 Motors Inc., ZEGGD +12.50% a Las Vegas developer of carbon-fiber electric cars; MySkin Inc., a Newport Beach, Calif., provider of management services to spas; and GrowBlox Sciences Inc., GBLX +17.04% an Orlando, Fla., medical-marijuana company.

Traffic on penny-stock trader forum InvestorsHub doubled between Christmas and last month, said Clem Chambers, chief executive of U.K.-based financial website ADVFN.com, which operates the forum. He said people who have been registered members for years, in some cases a decade or more, account for three-quarters of the increase.

“A lot of these people, who were looking from afar, are coming back,” Mr. Chambers said. “It feels like somebody pulled a switch.”

The rebound also comes as individual investors are showing signs of increased interest in stock trading in general. Discount brokers TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. AMTD -0.23% and E*Trade Financial Corp. ETFC -0.59% last month reported jumps in daily trading volume in the first quarter from the same period a year ago.

The rising volume in the tiniest of stocks is taking more investors into what is arguably the riskiest part of the stock market. These companies have less regulatory oversight than those traded on the exchanges, and their low prices mean that small price moves can quickly add up to big percentage moves.

In addition, penny stocks are often prime hunting grounds for scammers and “pump and dump” schemes. Stock promoters—often masquerading as regular investors on chat boards—tout a name, only to unload shares into a thinly traded market, taking profits for themselves but inflicting losses on other investors.

The Securities and Exchange Commission recently issued an investor alert warning of possible scams involving marijuana-related stocks, noting that “fraudsters often exploit the latest growth industry to lure investors with the promise of high returns.” The SEC has halted trading in five marijuana-related stocks over the past two months because of fraud concerns.

While many of the shady “boiler room” brokerage call centers have been shut down by regulators, and although most of the volume is in legitimate companies with real profits, Mr. Chambers said it is still a market of “extreme risk.”

“It’s the closest you can get to pure gambling,” Mr. Chambers said. “It’s not all nightmarish companies, but the ones that capture the imagination are the most crazy ones.”

Penny-stock investors also have broader market risks to consider: Liquidity in OTC markets dried up in 2001 as the tech bubble popped, and in 2009 following the financial crisis.

Some of the recent jump in OTC trading has come from shares of well-known companies, such as the delisted mortgage-finance firms Fannie Mae FNMA +0.23% and Freddie Mac FMCC +0.70% and large, foreign corporate titans that aren’t listed on major U.S. exchanges such as Volkswagen AG VLKAY +1.03% , BNP Paribas SA BNPQY +0.71% and Roche Holding AG RHHBY -0.27% . Excluding Fannie, Freddie and foreign shares, trading volumes are up 50% from a year ago.

Some investors say they have made money trading shares that could soon join the unlisted world: shares that are listed on an exchange but subject to possible delisting because of low prices.

Ryan Ung, a store manager in California in his 40s, realized a large profit by purchasing FuelCell Energy Inc. FCEL +1.43% for less than $1 a share in early 2013, after the Nasdaq warned of a potential delisting for low share prices. That threat was removed in January 2013 after the shares rallied. Shares recently traded at $2.10, a little more than half this year’s closing peak of $3.93, hit March 10.

Mr. Ung took a long break from trading penny stocks after the stock-market collapse in 2008 but started following the market again in early 2013, after on online newsletter on alternative-fuel stocks rekindled his interest. “I wanted to find something small” with a high profit potential, Mr. Ung said.

Not all penny-stock trades work out so nicely. Mr. Templeton bought Citadel EFT, a credit-card-processing-services company with interest in the medical-marijuana industry, at 82 cents a share. The stock was halted by the Securities and Exchange Commission at 68 cents after the market closed March 20 because of questions regarding the accuracy of several public disclosures.

After the halt was lifted following the company’s response to the questions, the stock closed at eight cents a share on April 4, and was recently changing hands at two cents.
