TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

The logistics industry remains the backbone of most forms of commerce in the world and hence, companies involved in that sector often attract attention from investors in a big way. A company involved in the sector that has been doing stellar work for quite a while is Transportation and Logistics Systems Inc (OTC:TLSS). As the name suggests, it is a transpiration and logistics firm it operates in the United States. The company conducts most of its operations through its subsidiary units. The company offers a wide range of services, which include two-person home delivery, last-mile delivery, e-commerce fulfillment, pickup and warehousing services, and mid-mile and long-mile services. At the end of the 2021 calendar year, the company owned a total of 17 vehicles. It is based out of Jupiter in Florida. On February 6, Transportation and Logistics Systems announced that its fully owned subsidiary unit TLSS-STI Inc had managed to complete the acquisition of the entirety of the outstanding stock in Severance Trucking Co Inc, McGrath Trailer Leasing Inc, and Severance Warehousing Inc. The companies collectively form Severance and are based out of Dracut in Massachusetts. The Chief Executive Officer of Transportation and Logistics Systems, Sebastian Giordano, spoke about the latest acquisition as well. He noted that over the course of more than a hundred years, several generations of a single family had managed to build Severance into a company of impeccable reputation. He went on to note that he was thrilled at the possibility of many members of the Severance family are going to remain and joining hands so as to grow the combined business. The total cost of the acquisition stood at $2,250,000 and also included closing expenses to the tune of $10,747. At the closing of the transaction, TLSS-STI paid $365,613 in the form of cash, took over and paid off vehicle debt worth $152,748, and got into a secured promissory note with the seller bearing the value of $1,572,939. The promissory note is going to carry an annual interest rate of 12%. The entirety of the unpaid principal of the promissory note is supposed to be paid off in three installments on August 1, 2023, February 1, 2024, and August 1, 2024. Back on January 26, 2023, Giordano provided an update to the stakeholders of Transportation and Logistics Systems. Some of the highlights from the list of updates include the expansion of the board of directors and enhanced corporate governance. The company further strengthened its executive team in the fields of human resources, operations, and finance. The company also managed to complete the acquisitions of Freight Connections and JFK Cartage. It was also noted that Transportation and Logistics Systems was in negotiations for two more acquisitions. Last November, Transportation, and Logistics Systems announced its financial results for the three-month and nine-month periods, both of which ended on September 30, 2022. The revenues came in at $1,700,000 and that reflected a year-on-year rise of as much as 40.9%. The company noted at the time that such a change of fortunes was primarily driven by the acquisitions of Freight Connections and JFK Cartage. The losses suffered in the quarter stood at $1,016,000, which was actually a significant drop from the losses of $1,896,000 suffered in the prior year period.

Foothills Exploration (OTC:FTXP) Acquires Certain Leases and Wells In OKLAHOMA

TopNewsGuide - Market News & Commentary

The oil and gas exploration and development industry has gained a lot of traction among investors over the course of the past year or so and for good reason. The volatility in oil prices and the overall upward momentum in the same resulted in investors becoming increasingly interested in the sector. Foothills Exploration (OTCMKTS:FTXP) is involved in the same industry and is engaged in providing for the energy needs of the present as well as the future. The company’s strategy is to create a balanced portfolio of assets in two unique ways. The first of those is to come up with oil and gas exploration assets with a high impact. The second is to prepare for the low carbon future through involvement in geothermal and hydrogen projects. The second part of its business strategy is executed by Foothills’ New Energy Divisions unit, which is involved in the identification of assets that can help it in contributing towards a more sustainable future. The company has been making some strong moves in recent times and earlier in the week on Monday, it announced that it had managed to complete the acquisition of some wells and leases in Comanche County in Oklahoma. It was announced that back on January 31, 2023, Foothills had been successful in closing the acquisition of as many as 21 shallow oil and gas wells. All those wells are located in Comanche County in Oklahoma and spread across four separate leases. The wells in question are classified as stripper wells with an average depth of 1200 feet and mainly produce thanks to the Granite Wash formation. It was also announced at the time that Foothills was going to commence the return to production operations at the wells immediately. The new production is expected to begin at the site in the week of February 20, 2023. Foothills noted that based on the current price of oil, it is expected to generate revenues to the tune of $432,000 from these wells over the course of the coming 12 months. The wells are going to be operated by WHZ Oil & Gas, which is an indirect subsidiary of Foothills. Back on January 27 this year, Foothills had come up with a key corporate update. It announced at the time that back on November 25, 2022, it had signed a settlement agreement with its biggest institutional lender. By way of the agreement, as many as 11 convertible promissory notes carrying an aggregate principal amount of $6,368,333 were retired and canceled. The agreement also led to the cancellation of 3.9 billion associated warrants. It was also announced that on January 9, 2023, the company had signed a lockup and settlement agreement with the same institutional investor for a convertible promissory note which carried a principal amount of $390,000. Last but certainly not least, back in August last year Foothills had made a significant announcement that could have an effect on the company’s future. On August 25, 2022, the company had announced that the completion operations at the Houser-Sears #6 well had been started. The well had been logged and drilled successfully, which also gave the indication of the possibility of new reserves in the leasehold. The completion logs and the geological analysis indicated that there could be at least six more zones with oil-bearing formations.

Capitalizing on the strict Swiss privacy laws, Sekur has built a brand that prides itself on state-of-the-art technology allowing for secure communication. The company has seen great success in Latin America and even recently announced its advancement into the privacy markets with its new VPN product, SekurVPN. Sekur also recently announced a partnership with Nobleus, an American all-encompassing e-commerce platform that offers customers tools and resources to run a successful online business. The agreement will allow Nobleus the rights to distribute and resell Sekur services and products to its client base. Nobleus is expected to provide these services to its clients in Q1 2023. This agreement will help position Sekur as an alternative security and privacy communications platform and allow online American businesses to become more independent from big-tech platforms. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are very pleased to have partnered with Nobleus.

Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data said: "We are pleased to announce that we have been able to cut close to 50% of our expenses for 2023, and still expect an increase in sales. Some of the assumptions are due to the new marketing plan we have and some of the sales increases are attributed to the B2B relationships we have signed and established in Latin America and the USA. There has been a lot of chatter, on some investment forums notably, about our need to raise funds in 2023, and we can now demonstrate with certitude that we have no need for new funding to meet the needs of the Company for the 2023 fiscal year. 2023 will increase focus on establishing more B2B relationships and on SMB marketing, as we continue to expand our direct-to-consumer base.

The SPIKES® Index Might Be A More Stable, Accurate Measure Of Volatility Than VIX®

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga SPIKES Volatility Index is a measure of the 30-day expected volatility for the S&P500 ETF (SPY) and may be gaining in popularity as the new way to look at volatility, especially among traders. Volatility trading has become a popular means of hedging portfolios or turning market assumptions into tradable opportunities, and subtle differences in the methodologies used to calculate SPIKES and VIX could make the former a more suitable index for those kinds of short-term trades. Here’s a quick look at how the two volatility measures differ and why that matters. How VIX Methodology Works and Why Traders May Want an Alternative VIX generates a quantified measure of future volatility by tracking options contracts, which grant the holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a future date for a guaranteed price. An investor might buy a put option to sell a stock at $20 per share in 30 days if they believed the stock price might dip below $20 in that time period, for example. Alternatively, they might buy a call option to buy a stock at $20 per share in 30 days if they believed the stock’s price would rise above that price. That function of either hedging losses or realizing gains the investor assumes will happen in the future is precisely why the options market is such a useful way to gauge near-term volatility and why VIX is sometimes called the “fear gauge.” As useful as it is, VIX methodology for calculating its value comes with some limitations. Namely, it only tracks options traded on the CBOE Options Exchange and only the less liquid SPX options on that exchange. That limited dataset gives a peek into the S&P 500 options market but not the full picture. SPX options are European-style options based on the S&P 500 index itself. That means the option contracts are larger (and more expensive), can’t be exercised before their expiration date, and trading stops the day before they expire. Those features make them less liquid and prone to wider spreads. One drawback to that lack of liquidity and larger spread is that it can impact the midpoint formula the VIX uses to calculate options prices. The formula sets the price of options as the midpoint in their bid-ask spread. This more or less creates a theoretical “average” contract price rather than the actual price the contracts are trading at. Finally, the VIX updates every 15 seconds, which isn’t a problem for long-term investors using it to check in on market sentiment and volatility. For short-term trading, however, those 15 seconds can be the crucial difference between a trade generating yield or losing money. What the SPIKES Index Does Differently The SPIKES Volatility Index (SPIKE) was designed specifically to address some of the limitations of VIX. While both are a measure of 30-day expected volatility of the S&P 500, one of the most notable differences is SPIKES use of SPY options rather than SPX options. SPY options are the most actively traded exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the world, with strong liquidity and potentially smaller spreads. By tracking SPY options, the SPIKES Volatility Index seeks to minimize the impact of spread on price movements and provide a more precise measure of volatility. Another means of increasing that precision is the use of options data from all 16 U.S. options exchanges instead, whereas SPX options are only traded on one exchange. Finally, SPIKES utilizes a proprietary price-dragging technique for capturing live options prices as an alternative to the midpoint pricing used for VIX. Rather than approximating an average price, SPIKES uses pricing data from actual trades. And instead of updating the index price every 15 seconds, it updates every 100 milliseconds for pinpoint accuracy, making it a viable tool for short-term traders. Differences In Methodology Became Clear In The Aftermath Of Interest Rate Hikes On Sept. 21, 2022, stock prices slumped after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates another 0.25% and provided a clear example of how SPIKES methodology results in a more stable index during moments of low liquidity or high volatility. While SPIKES and VIX move in tandem with each other most of the time, VIX diverged nearly 10% from SPIKES in the five-minute window following the Fed’s rate hike press release. During that window, SPIKES vacillated in the high 27s but VIX spiked above 30 and didn’t move until 2:06 p.m. when it tipped back down to realign with SPIKES. While you can’t trade the Index directly, there are options, futures, and ETFs available on SPIKES. This article was originally published on Benzinga here.
