Meta Materials, Inc (OTCMKTS: MMTLP) Running as Major Short Squeeze Embarks on 2nd Wave (Next Bridge Hydrocarbons Spin-Off)

Published

on

Meta Materials Inc (OTCMKTS: MMTLP) continues to move steadily northbound up over 12% on Thursday and heading towards $5 per share. The stock has found solid support since its pullback off its recent highs and is now moving northbound steadily and gaining steam. As we said in our prior article on MMTLP: “After a healthy pullback from its $7.51 highs the WallStreetBets short squeeze is starting to heat up again.” While the original post on WallStreetBets was deleted due to market cap issues MMTLP is all over reddit and is being regularly posted about on Short Squeeze and everywhere else. A break over $5 and things start getting interesting, a break over $7.51 and MMTLP could really take off. 

Our thoughts on MMTLP and what happened: 

As everyone knows by now MMTLP was halted and will not resume trading again. If you go on YouTube there are dozens of videos now saying that FINRA is corrupt and working with the hedge funds to screw the little guy and that what happened to MMTLP is “unprecedented” and nothing like this happens on the bulletin boards.    

This of course is not what happened FINRA is not corrupt and they are not working with anyone. FINRA rightfully halted the stock to protect shareholders who would have bought MMTLP after the 8th because anyone buying after the 8th did not get the Nextbridge shares and would have been buying an empty placeholder. Everyone who was invested in MMTLP will now be shareholders in Nextbridge Hydrocarbons, a private Company.

As for the short squeeze, we believed just like everyone else, MMTLP was skyrocketing up the charts, dozens of YouTube channels, stock twits, reddit everywhere else all saying the same. Youtube Bird lady rollerpigions saying there was millions of MMTLP shares short and then the Torchlight CEO John Brda appearing on multiple live streams with Bird Lady agreeing with everything she was saying and going as far as saying that “everything Bird Lady was saying was right over the bullseye” this gave her an air of legitimacy, we believed her.

We have now listened to the logic of the youtubers and one thing they all seem to miss is that MMTLP was not trading like a stock that had this enormous short position stuck in it during the last week. If an enormous short position of 10s of millions of shares had to cover in days, they would have been covering a long time ago. The last day that MMTLP traded last Thursday it lost almost half its value, relentless selling. Investors saw the writing on the wall, there was no short squeeze happening here and they were selling.  We have come to the conclusion that there never was a short position on MMTLP and in the coming days when they balance the books, we believe that’s exactly what they will show. FINRA was is just doing its job.

Meta Materials Inc  (OTCMKTS: MMTLP) is the placeholder for the Next Bridge Hydrocarbons Spin off from Meta Materials. One MMTLP (Series A Preferred share) will be exchanged into one Next Bridge common share once the spinoff is completed.

Next Bridge Hydrocarbons is an energy company engaged in the acquisition, exploration, exploitation and/or development of oil and natural gas properties in the United States. The Company’s primary focus has been the development of interests in an oil and gas project it holds in the Orogrande Basin in West Texas in Hudspeth County, Texas called the “Orogrande Project” comprised of leases representing approximately 134,066 net acres. In addition, Next Bridge Hydrocarbons has interests in the Eastern edge of the Midland Basin in Texas called the “Hazel Project”, comprised of leases representing 645 net acres, as well as 2 well interests in Oklahoma. 

On how MMTLP happened John Brda said in a chat with Cyntax Queen of the Metaverse: “We will see what happens, this MMTLP thing was a shocker. It caught us all off guard. There was mistakes made on that deal unbeknownst to anyone to trade it. Two market makers got together on the grey sheets and the only reason they were able to do it as because of one word that was in the preferred that said transferable. They also had a CUSIP number and we used DTC to distribute it so they got together went to FINRA got a ticker and went to the grey sheets and used information from 2012 when I was president of the Company, not CEO and OTC Markets didn’t do anything about, nobody did anything about it, they didn’t care. I was getting phone calls from my broker and guys close to the deal and they were like are you looking at this ticker? and I had no idea what they were talking about, I was on a trip to Nashville when it happened and I saw my 2.2 million shares suddenly worth $6.6 million dollars and I was like how the hell did that happen. Thats when I started to look into is, there’s some nefarious shit going on. My theory is that MMTLP would never have happened had the books been completely balanced on the dividend date, so the brokerage houses, the prime brokers and these hedge funds never cleared their positions so they started trading this so they could get people to sell their preferred positions in their brokerage accounts so they could clear out their trade.” 
UncleSmokeyStockTrades asked: “Everything was transferable you just said that so that means anyone buying MMTLP gets the dividend?” 
John Brda stated: “Yes, they get the dividend”

MMTLP

George Palikaras, CEO of MMAT, was talking to some people about this deal and he said, he didn’t know they were recording him. He was recorded saying first of all, that he is not an oil guy and his predictions can’t be trusted. None the less, he predicted. At the time, oil was between $40-$50 per barrel. Barely a profit. He said that the dividend could be anywhere from $1 to over $20 per placeholder and given the current Biden administration, depending on what he did to the oil market in the future, $20 could be a low number. Full recording. 

Enter the unofficial mascot for MMTLP: Bird Lady, Roller Pigeons. She is a very smart lady and if you can get past the bird costume you can learn a lot. I call her Pidge. This lady is pretty smart. She definitely knows her math, but she wears a bird costume. She said, it was like a disclaimer so, in case her predictions were off, you can’t sue. We’ll see, I guess. She came up with a formula to predict the value of the assets. Then, appeared another very smart person, Tony, from the Market Moves on YouTube. he saw what she was saying and was like, I’m really good at math. I bet I can back test her method and see how accurate it is. Turns out, it’s pretty accurate. They’ve used it to show the math on several oil deals this last year and they all came up with matching numbers! 

credit to u/dbCaeBLe on reddit: Based on their predictions, many folks are now saying their floor is $70+ per MMTLP. 

Insiders hold 1/3 of the shares available and they all said they are going long. Most overseas brokers are not allowing trading at all. Retail have continued to accumulate for a whole year! No one is selling at least until the S1 is approved or we start seeing over that $20 mark. Most are saying $50+ now. There is just too much good DD done around this for the community to sell for pennies when this could make everyone rich. Think about it. Most of the shares available are locked up in some way. SHORTS HAVE TO CLOSE BEFORE THIS GOES PRIVATE.

credit to u/alfielad2021 on reddit: Another potentially important person to bring up, is Houston Wade, the stock market YouTuber. He has an interesting past with Reddit and the other Meme stocks that some may be aware of. I’m not bringing him up to highlight that though. What we want to talk about is his direct connection to this play. Houston Wade’s brother is the MMAT CPO, Chief Product Officer, Gardner Wade. He recently hit the social media world, pumping Meta and its products, but was quickly told by MMAT PR team to stop. We see very little of him now, other than talking about the next conventions. 

His brother, Houston, though, has always been pro MMTLP and MMAT. He claims that he doesn’t have insider knowledge and they don’t talk about the assets. None-the-less, Houston has openly talked about his opinions. Here, Terry Yonkers records his impressions of Houston’s recent thoughts on MMTLP and what could happen with this squeeze.

MMTLP has huge potential and is easily the most exciting story happening in small caps right now but as we said in our last article there is little guarantee it will turn out anything like GME, AMC or any of the other recent short squeezes have. Elephant Analytics on SeekingAlpha wrote: “I am of the opinion that MMTLP’s current price (of $6.69 per share) far exceeds the current intrinsic value of the oil and gas assets that Next Bridge will own. At $6.69 per share, Next Bridge would have a market cap of $1.1 billion, which would be an exceptionally high valuation for a company with no current production, negative free cash flow and no evidence that it can generate competitive well-level returns.” While this may be true MMTLP gave investors a glimpse of a serious powerhouse over the past 2 weeks as the stock moved steadily upwards every single day making double- and triple-digit gains along the way as the overall market where weak at best and penny stocks were on life support.  We will be updating on MMTLP on a daily basis so make sure you are subscribed to microcapdaily.com

Clean Vision Corp (OTC: CLNV): Overcoming the Plastic Waste Crisis

Published

on

Clean Vision Corporation (OTC: CLNV) has experienced several interesting developments recently, but it hasn’t noticeably influenced the market with any substantial gains. Nonetheless, we believe it’s worth providing an update on the company given it’s been a few months since our last mention. In today’s discussion, we’ll explore a variety of updates and their significance, with aim of providing insight on what to expect for 2024.

Background:

Clean Vision is led by Dan Bates, and their goal is to tackle the global plastic waste crisis head-on. Their wholly owned subsidiary, Clean Seas, has developed the Plastic Conversion Network (PCN), a groundbreaking technology aimed at diverting millions of tons of waste plastic from landfills, incineration, and oceans. The PCN converts this plastic feedstock into clean fuels and green hydrogen, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering the carbon footprint.

For a brief 2 minute overview on the company, feel free to reference the video CLNV’s subsidiary put together on YouTube. Here’s the link.

Clean Seas utilizes proven pyrolysis technology to produce environmentally friendly products, which are sold to multinational petrochemical companies, driving the circular plastic economy. Operational PCN facilities are already in place in Morocco and India, with additional conversion facilities in development across West Virginia, Arizona, and Southeast Asia. Long-term feedstock supply agreements exceeding one million tons of waste plastic annually have been secured at no cost.

Their recently trademarked brand, AquaH®, is produced in their PCN. According to the release, it offers a differentiated green hydrogen product from carbon-neutral sources. Currently, hydrogen is predominantly produced through methods that involve fossil fuels, which of course contributes to global carbon emissions. Furthermore according to Deloitte’s 2023 global green hydrogen outlook, this could be a $1.4T annual market by 2050.

$65 Million Plastic Conversion Facility:

CLNV is making big moves in West Virginia and according to the release on October 24th, 2023, they’ve brought in some serious players—CDI Engineering Solutions and ERM—to help out with their Clean-Seas West Virginia project.

CDI has over 70 years of experience integrating engineering, design, project support, procurement and construction management services to the energy, chemicals and electrical infrastructure markets.

ERM is the world’s largest advisory firm focused solely on sustainability, offering environmental, health, safety, risk and social expertise for more than 50 years with more than 8,500 dedicated professionals operating across 40 countries.

The plan is to kick things off in 2024, turning 100 tons of plastic every day into recycled plastics and clean fuels. It’s a hefty project with a $65 million investment, creating over 200 jobs initially. And they’re not stopping there—they want to scale up to 500 tons of plastic per day over time.

West Virginia Governor Jim Justice is also on board, throwing over $12 million in state incentives to support the project.

Governor Jim Justice made a reference to Clean Seas in his state of the union address. If you want to catch the mention, go to 34:15 in the video. The three minutes leading up to it are also worth reviewing.

Launches Global Operations:

CLNV made another significant advancement, planning to launch waste plastic conversion facilities in the European Union, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia. This will be accomplished through their new subsidiary, Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited (CS-UK), who of course shares the same vision of creating sustainable solutions to the global plastic pollution crisis.

Under the leadership of Managing Director Shaun Wootton, CS-UK will play a crucial role in strategic project development and investment facilitation, leveraging established relationships in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Europe.

To fortify effective governance and strategic direction, CS-UK is assembling a distinguished board with internationally recognized figures in banking, sustainability, and energy. This approach aims to have a diverse and experienced board guiding CS-UK in realizing its vision of promoting sustainability and environmental stewardship across diverse regions.

$340 Million Bond Offering:

CLNV even announced they partnered with a global advisory firm, Grant Thornton, to issue up to $340 million in Green Bonds. This is the world’s sixth-largest network of independent accounting and consulting firms, employing 62,000 people in more than 130 countries and had revenues of $6.6 billion in 2021. These bonds will fund the expansion of Clean Vision’s Plastic Conversion Network (PCN) under the “Clean-Seas” initiative worldwide, aimed at combatting plastic pollution on a global scale.

With the Green Bond’s net proceeds, CLNV plans to deploy at least six plastic waste conversion lines globally, with strategic locations in West Virginia, Arizona, Southeast Asia, and expansion in Morocco. The Green Bond is also expected to attract environmentally conscious investors, setting a new standard for corporate responsibility.

$15M Government Loan:

Lastly, under the capable management of Huntington Bank, CLNV has recently secured a $15 million government loan. What sets this apart is that the loan is FORGIVABLE.

A forgivable loan is a type of loan where the borrower is not required to repay the borrowed amount under certain conditions. Typically, these conditions are related to the borrower meeting specific criteria, such as using the funds for approved purposes, maintaining certain employment levels, or achieving predetermined goals. If the borrower fulfills these conditions, the loan is forgiven, and they are not obligated to repay the borrowed amount. Forgivable loans are often used as an incentive or support for specific activities, such as job creation, small business development, or other initiatives that contribute to economic growth or community welfare.

Not to mention it won’t result in any dilution for shareholders. This is an unexpected and uncommon accomplishment for an OTC company. Securing a government loan of this size without any dilution is truly impressive.

Conclusion:

CLNV has made impressive strides tackling the global plastic waste crisis, especially given their valuation of merely $22.65 million. The team has swiftly achieved key objectives, including a $65 million plastic conversion facility in West Virginia, global expansion through Clean-Seas Partners UK Limited, a $340 million Green Bond Offering, and a remarkable $15 million forgivable government loan. The vast $1.4 trillion market they’re tapping into offers an interesting opportunity with current indicators looking positive. Nevertheless, it’s crucial to acknowledge that there is still significant work ahead, and the team needs to maintain consistent execution to turn this potential into a reality.

Integrated Cannabis Solutions’ (OTC: IGPK) 633% Surge: Exploring Catalysts, Company Overview, and Growth Potential in 2024

Published

on

Integrated Cannabis Solutions (OTC: IGPK) has undergone a remarkable uptrend, surging an impressive 633% since December 11th, 2023, with 166% of that surge taking place across yesterday’s trading session and today, January 11th, 2023. Both days have been marked by unprecedented volume – Yahoo Finance reported an almost 30x increase, with 115,867,027 shares traded by close yesterday. We’re already seeing 90,092,317 shares traded this morning and it’s just barely noon. Today we’ll explore the catalysts behind the surge, offer a comprehensive overview of the company, and evaluate IGPK’s potential for sustained growth throughout 2024.

Background:

Let’s get straight to it. IGPK is the result of a recent reverse merger with Integrated Cannabis Solutions and JFH Digital E-Commerce Corp. The first thing you’ll notice is finding the website isn’t a walk in the park, we’re fairly certain there isn’t one yet, at least one that will help in any way related to more investment information. Your best bet for more any information is to check out IGPK’s OTC Market page for details, but even the company description on there is not accurate. We’ve mainly found the following information through filings, IGPK’s Twitter, and other online users.

Keep in mind this breakdown might not be flawless given we’re piecing it together mostly from what folks on X are saying. But we’ll try our absolute best to lay it all out for you.

IGPK appears to have been a shell for little while until JFH stepped in. A user on X, @stockplayer30, broke it down fairly simply, stating that the shell’s slate was wiped clean, cancelling all notes payable and any debt. Whether it’s a promissory note, convertible note, or convertible debenture, the main point is they ditched all debt. JFH has an opportunity to start fresh, and it certainly makes this deal a lot more interesting.

Just a heads up, it’s a Chinese merger. If the idea of a Chinese leadership team makes you a bit wary, you might want to pause here. However if you were in the trading game during the summer of ’23, you probably remember those crazy spikes in some Chinese Nasdaq deals. And get this – no big press releases or SEC filings to explain those sudden jumps either.

Company Description:

Onto what the company actually does. According to @SuperRobotOTC on X, this is a digital e-commerce company based in China, here’s a link to their e-commerce website. This user also put together a great overview of the company on YouTube, if you’d like to watch something informative in video format, click here.

Another user, @igal_n, found a blurb on the company that states, “Junfenghuang (JFH) is a digital asset. It is a token issued by Uplus Future Company with the help of blockchain technology. It has no direct relationship with the original equity”.

The Potential:

What makes this story extremely interesting is the sheer magnitude of how large JFH is, the intrinsic value does not appear to be valued accurately in the market, given it’s only freshly merged into IGPK’s tiny shell company on the OTC.

Their Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) is heading north of 50 billion yuan, and post-merger profits from service outlets are looking at a hefty 10 billion yuan – yes, billion with a B.

Steering the ship is a leadership team featuring President Wang Dejun, Treasurer Xie Weiji, and Director Yang Lanfang. With a whopping 750 subsidiaries, 250,000 merchants, and 30 million registered users. We’ve also heard from other sources that the registered users could be nearly double that, coming in at 50 million registered users.

These numbers are substantial for a company with a $7 million market cap. Looking ahead, it won’t be shocking if IGPK sets its sights on moving up to a bigger exchange like NASDAQ. It’s no secret they’re already in the big leagues – or it at least appears so. If that were the case, they’d of course have enhanced credibility, more visibility, and increased access to capital with institutional funding.

The App:

Now, you might be wondering, “Sounds cool, but it’s a Chinese merger with a whole setup on the other side of the planet. Can we trust this info?” @SuperRobotOTC has also gone the extra mile by downloading the app, and gave us the lowdown in video format. On top of the SEC filings, this is an added layer of trust & credibility we can attribute to this new venture. Here’s the link to the video.

Conclusion:

Fortunately it appears IGPK is still for the most part flying under the radar. There’s not even a proper website or accurate update on IGPK’s OTC Market overview to tell us what the company even entails. But here’s the silver lining – that might mean you’re still early. The intrinsic value of IGPK appears strongly disproportionate to its current value in the market.

Our advice? Keep a close eye on IGPK’s journey as it takes on this exciting phase of growth and exploration. It’s likely this story will catch wind quickly and it could be a great time to take advantage. As @SuperRobotOTC eluded to in his video, this could be the OTC’s largest merger, with a potential $70B valuation.

We will update you on IGPK when more details emerge, subscribe to Microcapdaily to follow along!

Orchard Therapeutics’ (NASDAQ: ORTX) Shares Skyrocket: How To Predict Biotech M&A

Published

on

Orchard Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ORTX) experienced a remarkable 97% surge in its shares following a major announcement on October 5th, 2023. The renowned global gene therapy leader, Orchard, has been successfully acquired by Kyowa Kirin (OTC: KYKOF), solidifying its position as a fully owned subsidiary.

The Agreement:

The agreement outlines that Kyowa plans to buy all Orchard Therapeutics’ shares at $16.00 per share in cash (totalling about $387.4 million or around ¥57.3 billion) upon closure. This price is a 144% premium to Orchard’s previous value at close on October 4th, 2023.

As part of this deal, Orchard shareholders will receive an additional non-transferable CVR. Holders of the CVR will get a cash payout of $1.00 per share once OTL-200 for treating MLD in the U.S. gains approval.

For those that aren’t familiar, CVR stands for Contingent Value Right. It is a type of financial instrument or contractual right that entitles the holder to a payment or benefit if specific, predefined events or conditions are met. In the context of mergers or acquisitions, CVRs are often used as an additional incentive or compensation to shareholders based on the performance or success of certain agreed-upon benchmarks, such as the approval of a drug, achieving specific sales milestones, or reaching certain financial targets. The CVR allows shareholders to participate in the potential future success of a merged or acquired entity.

Predicting M&A in Advance:

Now that Orchard has been acquired, it’s probably not in your best interest to be trading it. What’s more important is being able to spot potential merger & acquisitions (M&A) before it happens. While it may seem like a large hurdle, enough research can put you in the right spot at the right time. And if you can do it well, there’s no question you’ll be increasing your earnings. Here’s 3 factors to think about when looking for potential M&A candidates.

1. Misvalued to the Extreme: Celgene’s Journey

Ever noticed how stock prices often have a mind of their own? Let’s talk about Celgene ($CELG), a big shot in the biotech world. Riding high with a super successful blood cancer drug called Revlimid, its stock price shot up from $25 to an incredible $139 between 2010 and 2017. Investors were all in.

But out of nowhere everything shifted. Worries about patents and competition suddenly tanked the stock to $60 within’ just 18 months – the stock had a massive swing in sentiment.

Did the once-celebrated star of the biotech world start hemorrhaging money? Was its revenue in a downward spiral? Far from it… In reality, 2018’s revenue saw only a minor dip from its peak in 2017, all the while the company was generating billions in profit.

Celgene gave it their all, teaming up with respected biotech experts, smart acquisitions of smaller companies with great prospective pipelines – even tried to engage Wall Street Critics, but nothing worked.

This twist in fortune caught the eye of Bristol Myers Squibb (NASDAQ:BMY), a company that values stability over trends. The lowered value of Celgene became a golden opportunity for them. They swooped in, acquiring Celgene, and securing promising assets. This stock market tale is a reminder that timing and how people perceive a situation can flip stock fortunes.

2. Great Science, but Lacking Funding:

Ever thought that a groundbreaking medicine should automatically become a hit? Turns out, it’s not that simple. Bringing a new medicine from idea to people’s medicine cabinets is like running an obstacle course. Yes, having solid science behind it is crucial, but that’s just the beginning. The American healthcare system has its quirks. Insurers need to give a nod, hospitals need to adapt to new methods, and doctors need to be convinced.

This process costs a lot of money—hundreds of millions, even a billion dollars—after all the scientific tests are done.

When you come across a small company that’s shown promising results in phase 2 or even phase 3 trials for a new drug, it’s time to dig into the numbers and dive into their financials. Check their balance sheet and cash flow. If financial jargon isn’t your strong suit, focus on a crucial question: “How fast are they spending their cash each quarter?” For instance, if they’re burning around $25 million per quarter and they only have $75 million left in the bank, alarm bells should ring.

Despite good results, a lack of funds could lead their breakthrough drug to end up in the trash bin. Smart financial moves are essential for turning promising data into real-world medical solutions.

This is where M&A steps in. Big pharma companies, with their knack for navigating red tape, join forces with agile biotech firms. M&A acts like a connector, ensuring innovative medicines actually reach the people who need them.

3. Key Shareholder: End of Career or Fresh Start?”

In the world of biotech, M&A isn’t just business—it’s about people and their journeys. Some founders, after years of battling the unpredictable industry, choose acquisition to secure their life’s work. On the flip side, young, ambitious founders, full of ideas, might be tempted by big corporations promising vast resources.

It’s not uncommon for a biotech company with a promising phase two product and solid data to command a valuation as high as $500 million. At this stage, the founding team has likely toiled in relative obscurity for years and looked to investors to fund their ambitious biotech endeavors.

Retaining majority control as a founder throughout product development is rare due to exorbitant costs. But the founder, or founding group, could retain around 5 to 10% of the company’s shares, possibly making them the largest and most influential shareholders. Hence, if Pfizer proposes to acquire the company for $500 million, that’s $50 million for the 67 year old scientist founder, who might just be tempted to take the giant payout and move to Bora Bora.

Another scenario involves young, inexperienced scientist-founders. This may seem counterintuitive; shouldn’t youth embody boldness?

Sometimes, these founders insist on going all the way. Yet, their inexperience can make them vulnerable to sophisticated corporate pitches. They’re promised abundant resources, a worry-free life, and a chance to change the world by teaming up with a giant like Pfizer.

Despite the allure, merging with massive corporations often stifles once-independent entrepreneurs. Ask anyone who’s sold their company to a corporate behemoth – it often isn’t conducive to the flourishing of once-autonomous entrepreneur.

Conclusion:

These tips can be crucial in spotting potential biotech takeovers, but there are still other factors to consider when piecing everything together. Even then, there’s no guarantee of a surefire deal. But if you  make smart, educated guesses with thorough research, you can reap substantial returns – a little luck doesn’t hurt either.
