Amnis Systems (OTC BB: AMNM)- Bell Canada Loves Amnis' Technology

When I kicked off our first edition on Amnis Systems back on June 3rd, I placed a price target on the stock of $.15 over the ensuing 60 days. On July 10th and 11th the stock achieved the $.15 mark, but was temporarily repelled. It went on to complete a round trip back to $.085.

Oftentimes, as companies begin a rebound phase, a stock must make several attempts at higher levels before breaking through. The stock is setting up a new trendline as shown in the chart, having broken down through the previous trend line. Nevertheless, the uptrend remains intact, and it has pulled back to a nearly perfect 50% retracement of the gains made since the rebound phase began.

Another attempt at the $.15 level is probably in the cards now, which undoubtedly started today when the company announced some of the details surrounding the robotic surgery that was performed remotely over a Bell Canada network using Amnis streaming technology.

The surgery was performed by Ontario's  Dr. Nehran Anvari, in Hamilton's St Joseph's Healthcare. The patient was hundreds of miles away at North Bay General Hospital. According to the press release the doctor's performed: "a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication (anti-reflux) surgery over Bell Canada's VPNe network. Dr. Anvari used controls that manipulated robotic arms and surgical instruments that were several hundred miles away all the while watching through a television monitor which was connected to the Amnis NAC-4000 MPEG-2 receiver. The surgeons demanded high quality video with latency as close to real time as possible."

As I write this edition, the stock has already traded over 4 million shares and broken through $.09. I still believe over the longer term the stock could find its way back to the $.25 level if product sales accelerate.

Conclusion- if you missed the first 100% move in this stock from $.07 to $.15, you might have another shot. Click Here to read the full text of the press release.
 

VirTra Systems (OTC BB: VTSI) Rolls Out Fixed 360° Version of Training Simulator

Just prior to the close today, VirTra Systems, my latest idea in the microcap arena, announced that their new "Judgemental Use Of Force" 360° simulator has now been introduced and is ready for sale. 

This event represents the entry into a new and burgeoning market for VirTra Systems. The company already has a foothold in the promotional market through contracts with Pennzoil, Red Baron, Buick, and Pepsi. Homeland Security and military applications represent a new market for VirTra Systems, which has me very excited about the prospects for this company.

No other simulator on the market today matches VirTra Systems for creating a full, 360° high stress training experience. This product uses multi array projection instead of a head set. The trainee uses the actual weapon he or she would use in a real life situation, not a plastic video game type appliance. 

The Homeland Security budget has expanded to $37.7 billion. Earlier today, lower Manhattan was shut down as a City Councilman was reported to have been shot at City Hall. These types of events tend to fuel demand for trained security officers, and Virtra Systems has products to fill the demand. Typically, governmental budgets are planned in the summer and fall, and contracts are awarded in the September to December time frame for the coming fiscal year.

I believe there is plenty of upside from the ridiculously low level at which this stock trades. Based on today's levels, the market is only valuing the company at about $4 million. This stock has also pulled back into the middle of its trading range, offering an ideal, lower risk entry level.

If this company begins announcing sales of the simulators to any kind of security agency, be it military or non-military, I suspect the stock will grow legs and run up the charts. The trick is to own it before it happens. 

The surge you see in July was on heavy volume. The ensuing pullback has been on light volume, suggesting it could turn back up quite easily. I don't believe this stock will hang around in the $.10 area for long, especially if contracts start rolling in.

VirTra Systems Announces 360-Degree Fixed-Base Training Simulator

Wednesday July 23, 4:11 pm ET 

ARLINGTON, Texas, July 23 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VirTra Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: VTSI - News) today announced its new fixed-based photorealistic training simulator, the IVR-360(TM).

The new simulator, based upon feedback from the training and simulation market, is a fixed-based product -- the second in the company's IVR(TM) line of 360-degree training simulators. The IVR line was developed to meet the full range of applications required by Homeland Security and defense customers for situational awareness and judgmental use-of-force training.

"Launch of the IVR-360 marks another significant technological milestone for VirTra Systems as we continue to penetrate the training/simulation market," said Bob Ferris, VirTra Systems' president. "The IVR-360 will be more functional and realistic than custom-built systems costing well in excess of $1 million. Without a headset, the trainee will experience photorealistic video, smell, wind, motion, and even the sensation of being 'shot' during a simulation."

The IVR-360 employs a completely enclosed, multi-array projection system, rather than a headset, to accomplish 360-degree scenario delivery, immersing the trainee into a photorealistic, multisensory environment. Currently, most training systems used for situational awareness training employ a single, flat screen offering only a two-dimensional view of the threatening environment.

"Research and dialogue over the past 14 months has shown that the 360-degree, multisensory concept of the IVR product line will meet the full spectrum of needs required by security related customers such as the Department of Homeland Security," stated David Klugh, VirTra Systems' training and simulation director. "The IVR-360 is a natural progression beyond and an ideal complement to our IVR-p(TM) portable system, and meets the logistical needs of regional or centralized training facilities responsible for large numbers of personnel."

"The military and law enforcement training community has long needed a simulator like the IVR-360 -- a system that is capable of producing a seamless 360-degree environment using all of the trainee's peripheral vision, allowing for advanced review and debriefing, and utilizing customized, agency-specific, photorealistic scenarios," added Jerry Long, VirTra Systems' military intelligence sales director.
