(OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a>) seemingly hit the holy grail of its industry, a government contract for security technologies. The announcement of the news was immediately gainful, and we have to wait and see if the ticker has a potential to gain further in the days ahead, or if the news would be consumed quickly. This Monday, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> grew by more than 26% to $0.0931, as dollar volumes revived to $960,000. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/PSID0104.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"PSID0104.png\" title=\"PSID0104.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"178\" \/> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> climbed since February, though it went through some days of volatility. In the new year, volumes have picked up, although the price gain looks like a very gentle slope in the longer term. The robust buying volumes are an early indicator that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> looks like a bargain, given the company&#8217;s participation in a seven-month government contract. The contract is in the area of biological materials detection, but so far we don&#8217;t have details on the financial side of that task.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hotstocked.com\/articles-img\/small\/SGLB0104.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"SGLB0104.png\" title=\"SGLB0104.png\" width=\"350\" height=\"156\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> could not reveal the exact data for its first quarter of the new year, but the late 2013 filing showed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$98,000 cash<\/li>\n<li>$125,000 total current assets<\/li>\n<li>$6.28 million total current liabilities<\/li>\n<li>No revenues<\/li>\n<li>$3.3 million quarterly net loss<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Sadly, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> is buried in debt, and we still don&#8217;t know if the latest contract would be enough for the company to get ahead and move itself out of the long and costly preliminary stage. Not to mention that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> arrives to an already well-supplied market for aerosol threats.<\/p>\n<p>Investors&#8217; forums are relatively inactive for this ticker, as in the recent past it was taken as a longer-term bet. But even with a more patient view, the delays of unrolling actual products and gaining contracts held down the rise in stock prices. In this, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> resembles pharmaceutical companies that hope for a breakthrough and the stock price is so reliant on expectations that any delay or negative news potentially causes a crash.<\/p>\n<p>Sigma Labs, Inc. (OTCMKTS:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SGLB\">SGLB<\/a>) is a cautionary story, as the 3D printing business took a piece of a $5 million grant to develop its proprietary technology. Yet the stock price movement continued to be rather volatile, with deep setbacks once the initial optimism of the news wore out. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=SGLB\">SGLB<\/a> is currently staging a minor recovery, moving up from $0.13 toward $0.17.<\/p>\n<p>Yet the current contract is seen as a test that will unroll the real sales of the M-BAND technology, at least as much is expected by investors&#8217; forums. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> is expected to run upward to $0.60.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of new technologies, the fight for a higher stock position is difficult. Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=LQMT\">LQMT<\/a>) spent months stagnant, before it took the step toward $0.26- though now the ticker is stuck at this level. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=LQMT\">LQMT<\/a> is also fighting for contracts before it could do anything about the huge holes in its financial data.<\/p>\n<p>If you are waiting for fast results, in the case of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> they may come in the short term, as the ticker holds a relatively low price. But keep in mind the potential for disappointment, as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehotpennystocks.com\/Stock-Quotes\/?stock=PSID\">PSID<\/a> is much less actively traded, obscured by the shift toward the incredibly appealing legal marijuana stocks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Positive ID, Corp.
