It pains me to say this but VUZI Is a gummy of the day-- Oh boy. Augmented Reality (AR) had its grand debut among consumers with the infamousGoogle Inc.(NASDAQ:GOOG) smart glasses "GLASS." At that moment, the company caught the attention of many who wanted to experience AR glasses. However, GLASS went under the radar as Google stopped producing them, and many thought this trend would likely take off later. For many, it seems like smart glasses disappeared. However, what many don't know is that they have been for a while now on several tech companies' agendas such asApple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL),Facebook Inc.(NASDAQ:FB),Microsoft Corporation(NASDAQ:MSFT),Lenovo Gr.(OTC:LNVGF) andGoogle Inc., among others. In fact, you'd be surprised to know they are a great asset for many corporations, airports, doctors and even hospitals. Vuzix® Corp.(NASDAQ:VUZI), a supplier of smart glasses and AR technology products with 179 patents and patents pending as well as numerous IP licenses in the video eyewear field, has been part of the many recent accelerated advances in AR. In fact, its products are being used in airports such asSingapore Changisince 2018, and have made significant contributions in the delivery of medical services in the current health crisis. This is what you need to know. Vuzix Augmented Reality Smart Glasses Solution For Orthopedic Surgery – Knee Replacement.

Cash exercises of 5,962,571 warrants representing total proceeds of $28.6 million have been received over the last 30 days, bringing the company's pro forma cash balance, based on the company's last reported cash position of $24.9 million in its 10-Q as of September 30, 2020, to approximately $53.5 million, without accounting for negative cash flows incurred from operations since such date. Yesterday, the company announced a strategic partnership with Rods & Cones, a provider of a fully virtual surgical-collaboration platform. Rods & Cones will add the M-Series smart glasses as an additional video capturing device to support optimized remote interactions between surgeons and experts.

We'll see who's really on point when you decipher today's lesson which is contained in the two videos above. The Ripple Effect- What is a ripple? 1. a small wave or series of waves on the surface of water, especially as caused by an object dropping into it or a slight breeze. The Stock Market is about to catch a wicked ripple. We are going to see a wave of selling or a series of waves that will be brought on by an event (rock) or a Feeling/sentiment (breeze) The first Rock is the Virus. It's going to look a lot different in 3 weeks than it does today.... This is why they have started talking about the joy of wearing two masks... and once you get your vaccine ,surprise you still have to wear a mask... and once you get your second shot surprise you need a third. This roaring 20's is going to get off to a shaky start. April we see a large correction,maybe sooner. The second rock. Not being covered hardly at all the Chip Shortage. It's worse than anyone is telling you. All of these companies are in trouble some are being very smart (Nvidia) and some are dreaming of opening and building foundries - How long will that take? and what happens when China exerts it's pressure to the Taiwanese Foundries-- who's going to get the last chips? The third rock the generally speculative nature of the market.. There was a stock that went up 1000% before people realized it just had the same name as a favored app but had nothing at all to do with technology or i phones.. Oh well, next time we'll hit the " profile " button I guess... When things get that loopy... trouble is never far behind. Three rocks being thrown.... Investors can expect a Ripple soon....~stoney
