(OTCMKTS:SGLB) Accelerates Growth"},"content":{"rendered":"

After a slow month, Sigma Labs, Inc. (OTCMKTS:SGLB<\/a>) is finally moving, on positive news and a small amount of momentum that easily swung the ticker to its previous height. SGLB<\/a> stopped at 12 cents after growing by more than 12% on Thursday, and dollar volumes grew a third day in a row to $1.3 million. \"SGLB0927.png\" <\/p>\n

The only problem is, SGLB<\/a> is still volatile, and attracting a lot of short interest. And this may mean another correction at any time, combined with the usual periodic profit-taking. \"IWSY0927.png\"<\/p>\n

For SGLB<\/a>, the news about the grant is becoming stale very fast. While the company has longer-term investors, its climb may be slowed down at some point. The current prices are very near yearly peaks, and without a promotion it would be hard to go far into uncharted territory. While investors’ opinions vary, the consensus is that SGLB<\/a> could see shakedowns in the short term, but could visit much higher prices, based on the nature of its business and the quality of the patents.<\/p>\n

But if we look at SGLB<\/a> in the longer term, the stock has hardly done anything in the past three years- only fluctuating within the range of a few cents, even at times of promotion. So a bigger run is not out of the question. SGLB<\/a> has something of a red flag, too, the private placement of 120 million shares over time, at par value. This would mean SGLB<\/a> is pressured by the threat of insider selling. This is a significant amount to the company’s 555 million shares outstanding.<\/p>\n

When it comes to high technologies, stock markets are receiving tech companies better, for what is considered a new boom, though probably more sustainable than the dot-com bubble in 2000. With more ubiquitous technologies and handheld devices, companies show up with a better market logic.\"LQMT0927.png\"<\/p>\n

However, ImageWare Systems, Inc. (OTCMKTS:IWSY<\/a>) is still struggling, currently trying to keep up the $1.70 levels. Volumes for IWSY<\/a> are unstable, falling to low 300K levels.<\/p>\n

Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:LQMT<\/a>), another promising company trying to cater to mobile devices, is again stagnant at 15 cents on low volumes, awaiting direction.<\/p>\n

SGLB<\/a> may hold surprises in either direction, and volumes are not stable day-to day. If you still like the price range, it is best to do your own due diligence and choose the right time frame for the investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
