Good morning, vietnam, oh boy, i'm just playing i'm just playing. What is up everybody welcome to troy's trades. We got technical analysis and different stocks in the stock market, as well as potential buy holders. Sell opinions on these given stocks could preface by saying that i'm not a financial advisor nor expert so take what i say with a grain of salt.

Let's get into the video today, my friends were giving you guys an update, a long overdue update. Nonetheless, nonetheless, on hcmc up here in the top left of your screen, we've been talking about this stock for quite a while. There are a couple things that i want to touch up on. Give you guys reminders of uh we're gon na talk about the overall price action.

More than anything, i want to reassure you that uh, it's okay. This has been a little bit red right. I mean it's not fun. It's not fun to sit through the red, but nonetheless, we've had a couple of red days in the market last week right.

We knew that wednesday and thursday was an absolute bloodbath which was really rough, but we'll look at the fundamentals of the company: the why? Why should you care? Why is the price action running on this sucker we're looking at some recent news, catalyst, some things that could actually you know, drive some future price action that you need to take into consideration right and then we're going to look at the meat potatoes, which is the Chart set up so we'll look at the one month chart as well as the one day. One minute charts get both the macroscopic and microscopic perspective of the overall price action. I've got a couple. Different indicators pulled up.

The rsi is down here on the bottom relative strength index. Anything over 70 is overbought. Anything under 30 is oversold. This gives you an idea of both bullish and bearish momentum on a stock and it's price action.

Then i've got the 200 ema, which is purple trend line and the 15 day ma, which is this blue trend line. The 200dma is the exponential moving average. This is a price action based valuation trend line over a 200-day moving period, which gives us a macroscopic perspective of overall price action. Then i've got the 15-day ma, which is a moving average.

Some brokerage accounts call this the estimate, the simple moving average they're one in the same, but this is a price action based evaluation trend line over a 15-day moving period, which gives us a microscopic perspective of overall price action. We usually side-by-side. So we can predict upcoming volatility and price action, breakouts breakdowns right, uh, the best possible entry points and exit points that we are going to be looking at as well. We will be taking a pk here today, quite a bit to talk about.

So, let's just get into the video. So what do they do? What is the why? Why should you care, healthier choices, management, corporation, formerly vapor corporation - is a holding company. The company is focused on the managing healthy food markets and providing consumers with healthy, daily choices. With respect to nutrition and other lifestyle alternatives, the company segments include us-based retailer, vaporizers and e-liquids, and the natural and organic grocery operations in fort myers florida.

The company sells direct to consumer through the company owned brick and mortar retail locations. The company operates under the vape store and adds natural organic brands. So what is the potential for growth in this company right if they end up winning this lawsuit, which we are going to talk about here in a little bit? Where can they go well? To be completely honest, i don't see a whole lot of upside with this managing healthy food markets right. The food market is a very tough business to get into right, so to compete with mega brands like walmart or whole foods, uh, which was acquired by amazon a couple years back or or target right uh, who already are being basically monopolized.

In terms of you know, the food market right - that's gon na - be a tough, really really tough market to stand out in what i think is more likely is capitalizing on the vaporizers and e-liquids. So they're really going to want to focus. You know moving forward what you're going to be looking for is news regarding you know if they win this patent infringement uh, you know more capitalization of the current products that they own uh and we're gon na talk about a different company that they might work with Down the road but possibly moving into cannabis as well, so i've got a couple different uh things pulled up here and i've got hcmc pulled up on uh on ortex and there's not a whole lot of information available to us here. But there is a couple different things that i wanted to point out here, which is this so we've got a form: five, healthier choices, management uh, you know filled out here and basically what this is talking about.

I'm just gon na show you here real quick uh in case you do not know what a form five is we're just gon na show. You here really quick form five um investing, and this will just tell you exactly what what we're talking about here so an scc four five is an annual statement of changes and beneficial ownership of securities. Uh is a document that a company insiders must file with the securities and exchange commission sec if they have conducted transactions in the company's securities uh during the year. So essentially, what you have here is you've got freedman clifford right from health, hcmc, healthier choices, management corporation and the amount of securities beneficially owned at the end of the issuer's fiscal year was 510 million.

So this uh this expiration date of common stock. The amount of number of shares right here that we're seeing is 990 million which to me would it would imply that he has overall more shares than he did previously uh the expiration date for these are on 2027.. So that's a pretty long time down the road um i would. I would anticipate that um he's going to hold these, especially considering the current.

You know issue at hand. Explanation of responses number one includes 500 million shares of common stock previously granted on pursuant to a time-based restricted stock award. Such shares are now fully vested. The options are fully vested pursuant to the terms of the option agreement between the holder in the issue, where the option may not be exercised if the exercise would result in the holder beneficially owning uh of the securities exchange in excess of 4.99.

Of all the common stock of the issue were outstanding at such time. So, as it seems right now, fred mcclifford is holding a pretty decent stake in the company. You want to pay attention to what insiders are holding a lot, because that typically indicates to you that there are some good things coming down the road uh. However, on the flip side of things, uh we're going to talk about the hcmc lawsuit infringement right, the patent infringement by philip morris.

So just reading this here really quick htmc q cup tech patent equals philip morris iq os system flagship next gen vape product being heavily pushed and marketed over 16 million plus units already sold globally as of 2020.. So hcomc owns the patent for the technology being used and sold in philip morris's iqos e-cigarette technology. The accused action is illegal. The iqs system is a major money-maker for philip morris having sold 16.4 million units globally.

As of now it's been it's been talked about. They have between two and three billion dollars invested in that overall product, so tobacco companies have long been struggling with declining cigarette sales, thanks to consumers rising health consciousness, as well as trick marketing manufacturer policies. That is the the reason behind you know why. Smokeless tobacco products are really growing in in fashion right.

I think every single year cigarette consumption actually decreases while vaping increases. So that is a good thing to see, but nonetheless, hcmc is suing filamores, because hcmc developed the pattern of the q-cup. That is the same technology. Being used in the iqos system now being pushed heavily by philip morris, it was approved back in 2018, so we're just going to take a quick peek at what this q-cup here looks like q-cup uh and we're just going to take a quick peek.

So if we just take a look at this, that is the q cup system right here and if we just look at what the iq os system looks like iq os philip morris, you can just look at the difference. Now you make make up that. What you will, i think they look a little bit different but uh. Nonetheless, i don't think they would have started that lawsuit if they didn't think they could win it right.

So that's something to take into consideration when you're, when you're talking about um the philip morris lawsuit here with hcmc now also - something i think is worth mentioning is that philip morris's insiders right the people that own the shares, the people that uh the insider companies, the Institutions, uh they're selling their positions, so we see sei investments. Uh company sells 34 000 shares of phillip morris. We see that prime cap management decrease their holdings. Um we've got you know: holdings cut by j and b.

So a lot of big names here are stepping out of philip morris and i don't think that's by accident right. I think these these big institutions and some of the insiders are kind of freaking out a little bit in terms of uh. Whether or not you know philip morris is going to win this lawsuit and when you see insiders institutions step out like that, they know a lot more legalities than you or i would right. So that's uh.

That's a good sign to me and guys think about this. As well, phillip morris is going to want to settle this as peacefully as they possibly can. So i can kind of see two scenarios here: either a they're going to pay a settlement uh by that february 26th date, which we have talked about here previously or b they're, going to draw out this court date. It's going to take a long time.

One thing i want to tell you guys about this: this situation is, we might not see this settled immediately right. So an example to me is max d. Max d is a company that has been suing google for literally years and just finally, they seem to be coming to a roads close right, so hcmc could take just as long to make this situation happen. I i had an interview with uh max uh, my hair and my dude.

He said that he is he's a small company he's just a youtuber he's got his own moving business right he's had a pool business and he said that he's had lawsuits against them. That are literally still going to this day that are years long, so this process can take a very very long time. Do keep that in the back of your mind when you are playing this stock right. This is, this is a stock that could take some time to play out.

I think the best case scenario here is that settlement right. If you end up getting that settlement on hcmc, i think that is gon na be a win uh, because you're gon na get that you know, even if it's ten percent of that two billion dollars, you're looking at 200 million dollars when in comparison to hcmc's financial Situation right, if we look at their annual financials, their net income was negative. 2.8 million dollars. So that's that's! Absolutely monumental! That's huge uh, their r d they're, the research and development costs.

They haven't spent any money on research and development for a very long time and they could use that money to start kickstarting, some uh, some good growth. So i don't mind that setup whatsoever. They do have cozen o'connor, which is a pretty uh power of attorney. Essentially, uh with 775 plus attorneys why they recognize national practices and litigation, corporate intellectual property, real estate and labor and employment, and extensive experience in a variety of practice areas.

I think it's gon na be in philip morris's uh best. You know you know best interest to avoid that uh that court case. If they can, it's not gon na make them look good. It's gon na make more investors step out.

It's gon na hurt their stock price in the long term, in my opinion, right so keep that, in the back of your mind, uh last thing that i wan na show you here is this an hcmc and mjne partnership. Take this with a grain of salt. This is coming off of reddit, but nonetheless, we're going to read it. Mjn is another otc traded company.

Next big cannabis swing, in my opinion, coincidentally mjne and hcmc entered into a partnership a couple years back. We can see this right here. You can, if you want to read that you can just go ahead and search up hcmc and mjnd partnership and go through it and read it at the present time. Our major supplier is hcmc.

We entered into agreement with healthier choices, pursuant to which we agreed to purchase two million dollars worth of their cannabis consumption q-cups. We will fill this patented technology with our cannabis products and distribute to retailers for consumption by purchasers using a number of readily available vape dispensers. Healthy choices is an exclusive supplier of cucumbers. If mjne does well, then so will their supplier hcmc so catalyst coming on uh february 18, 2021 mjne filed sec from 8a, which leaves me to believe they're getting ready to go public.

So we can read that right here. This is an 8a and he's got the definition of an 8a right here in investopedia. It's just basically talking about what it is and 8a is required by securities in exchange commission from companies seeking to register securities, it must be submitted before securities can be offered on exchange. It is also known as the registration of certain classes of securities in the short form registration statement.

Form 8a is one of the primary forms companies use the registered securities for listening or quoting on an exchange under the securities exchange act for offering to the public. So essentially, what this is saying guys is: it's possible. You could be seeing a deal coming up here with mjne and hcmc, since they filed that 8a form, so that could be monumental. That could be monumental because, if they capitalize on the settlement money that they get from this deal right, that could be a huge, huge, huge opportunity to really rebrand and focus on exactly what i told you is.

What i think is the potential for this company right is either that smokeless tobacco product or focusing on that cannabis sector of things, with legalization expected to happen over the next four years down the road. So that is what we're looking at in terms of the most recent news, as in terms of the chart setup right, we've been a little bit red, we've been bleeding for the last couple days. I'd say one two three, you know. Maybe four days now we have been bleeding here a little bit and in terms of retracement it has been a little bit.

Harsh we've come down to about 61.8 percent on the fibonacci. I haven't quite seen it bounce yet right we're looking for that that bounce to signify, we have in fact found the bottom, but nonetheless this is not stressing me out because otc market stocks - friends uh - are are rough, they're really rough. Sometimes they can. They can go up, thousands of percent and and then come back.

You know hundreds and give back hundreds as well. You have to keep them in the back of your mind right. This was trading at point: zero, zero, zero one at one point, and it went up to point zero zero, six five, which means it was up: six thousand five hundred percent. That is monumental right.

So, to give back a couple hundred of that, i think that is warranted in my personal opinion. That makes sense to me. I would honestly expect it and if it didn't happen, i'd be a little bit confused um as to what's happening, but i wouldn't stress out. This is an opportunity for you if you believe in the long-term potential of the stock uh to to get in and uh and hold this for a while right.

I actually believe there is some decent. You know mid-term to long-term potential if they end up winning this. This lawsuit or the settlement right so uh there's a price target on yahoo of this for six bucks. I think that's an overstatement.

I don't know if that's quite possible, but i do think if they win this lawsuit, they end up getting that partnership with mjn e. They focus on the cannabis side of things they double down on um. You know on the smokeless tobacco products um it's possible for them to grow. I would say you know.

Maybe you know 50 cents is, is most realistic. I think a year from now best case scenario, which is still an insane runner right. It's a dollar. So if that does end up happening, i think you're going to be sitting pretty solid out here on the side of caution and say 50 cents.

But nonetheless, i do see some pretty solid potential here. We've got the 15 ma hooking back into the 200 dma right now, which is typically a sign of upcoming decrease in volatility right, more consolidation, phase, uh or upcoming bleeding. But what we do see is that the rate of bleeding is slowing down here. The descending level of support is not falling at the same level as the descending level of resistance.

As you can see here, the squeeze down in price action - i would anticipate sometime within the next one to two trading days - is going to end uh. I would anticipate you're gon na see a bottom out at the very worst case scenario here at about point: zero: zero, three zero, but we may very well. You know, stop the bleeding uh before that. If we hold up at this level of support right here, which we are seeing at point - zero, zero, three five, so what we're looking for is some more volume to step.

Back into this. We have had a little bit of red volume here in the past couple of days. Rsi is sitting at about 40, so i'd say: there's a little bit risky buying in right now it has had some pretty bearish momentum, but if you see a nice trend reversal, you're gon na know, because you'll see this 15 may start to hook back out and Create some separation between the 200 ema uh, which is a good sign as well. We drove that fibonacci retracement show up to about 61.8 percent.

Ideally we look for 50, but an otc market stock is very volatile. I'd warned you guys about this right off the bat. I said if you guys are gon na get into the stock. It's going to be volatile.

I need to have a strong stomach, and that is still the case, as we can see here so hold tight hold tight. My friends, if i need to be your support, your support, animal right now, animal to support a human right now. I will gladly do so. I still 100 believe in in the cause here and that 26 date right february 26th is coming up very very very soon.

So we're expecting to hear whether they're going to settle or whether they're going to go to court and if they go to court. This is going to draw a little ways and you might have to play a longer term game here. If they don't go to court. That settlement fee, i would anticipate you're gon na see a date on that coming out very shortly there.

After look at this on the one day, one minute chart nothing, i could tell you in the least bid that's absolutely useless information, so uh we're not even gon na talk about that, and that is what i have for the video here today.
