If you thought PK  Beans $BEAN is just a children's clothes retailer, you'd better think  again.  Whereas children's clothes retailers simply stack, rack and sell  on volume, $BEAN is bringing the kind of innovation to the space that  we once saw from the likes of Apple. Just as Apple did  back in the day, $BEAN is creating a complete experience out of their  products that includes the use of Augmented Reality stories with  characters that carry great messages while showcasing their products. More than just a cool idea, $BEAN innovation is creating some eye-popping KPI's in it's very early pivot such as: 10,000 customers 62% returning customer rate $29 on every $1 of ad spend 18,000 + orders in 2020 55% increase in online visitors $1.5M + in 2020 sales .... and much more Beyond Augmented  Reality, $BEAN has also incorporated a second-hand resale and  sustainable initiative that, combined with the fact it is Canada's only  public company with a board dominated by women, is quickly becoming a  great ESG company. Why  is that important?  ESG investing (Environmental, social and corporate  governance) is a very big trend in the United States, where BEAN is  expanding to next!

When the Facebook  data privacy scandal broke out, the world woke up to just how badly our  individual data was being traded, used and most importantly, the amount  of profit being generated by major corporations at our expense. This led to the enactment of the biggest data privacy laws in history.   Specifically, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) out of Europe  and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Enter LQID  (formerly KABN).  The Company Turns The Problem Of Data Privacy Into A  Profit For Individuals, While Providing Big Businesses With New &  Compliant Business Models. More than just lip service, LQID has  made some major announcements, including joining the Trust Over IP  Foundation, which includes over 170 members including IBM, Mastercard,  Accenture and many other global leaders who are defining a complete  architecture for Internet-scale digital trust. Does that sound  like a mouthful?  Yeah, it does.  But all you have to really understand  for now is that digital ID, privacy and monetization is going to become a  reality in the very near future.  Government regulations are enforcing  it.  Consumers are demanding it and LQID is delivering it at such an  advanced scale that the Trust Over IP Foundation provided them with a  strategic role as a Steering Member. GOOGLE ANNOUNCEMENT MARKS ENORMOUS SHIFT IN ONLINE TARGETING THAT VALIDATES LIQUID AVATAR BUSINESS MODEL We've been  pounding the table since the summer of 2020 that LQID was way ahead of  anybody in the small cap space.  In fact, so early they may have  actually been too early to the game.  We were right on the former ...  but Google proved us way wrong on the latter when this story broke last  week, with the subsequent quotes from Business Insider to back it up: Google announces major shift away from precision-targeting of ads based on everything you do on the internet Google  believes these types of tracking methods don't "meet rising consumer  expectations for privacy, nor will they stand up to rapidly evolving  regulatory restrictions, and therefore aren't a sustainable long term  investment." Google  is experimenting with tools in its Privacy Sandbox that are designed to  allow advertising to continue to work on the web but in a less  privacy-encroaching way. "Keeping  the internet open and accessible for everyone requires all of us to do  more to protect privacy — and that means an end to not only third-party  cookies, but also any technology used for tracking individual people as  they browse the web," David Temkin, Google's director of product  management for ads privacy and trust, What is the potential outcome of this major shift by Google? Google's decision could upend the ad industry, which has relied on these types of tracking tools You would think  LQID CEO David Lucatch wrote the announcement and the bullet points  himself.  Turns out he didn't need to because he was already ahead of  Google. Now the data  privacy and monetization game is underway with LQID sitting in a great  position within the industry and the dominant position within the small  cap world. Watch this interview with CEO David Lucatch and welcome to the next potential great disruptive industry of the decade.

You can’t fault investors whose first thought about Hydrogen is  danger and explosions – because Hydrogen is pretty notorious for that  thanks to the infamous Hindenburg disaster .  It’s an overblown example  but it’s the image most people have of Hydrogen. But HPQ Silicon and it’s partners have taken some significant steps  forward to changing all that thanks to a much nicer process of creating  Hydrogen: HYDROGEN BY HYDROLYSIS Quite simply HBH is “Getting porous silicon nano powders to react  with water “H2O” and thereby releasing significant quantities of  Hydrogen ” H2  “.  In short, you are simply mixing silicon nano powders  with water to create Hydrogen.  No mass liquid or gaseous volumes to  transport in a combustible state.  Just powder and water. HOW BIG IS THIS MARKET? A SECOND MULTI-BILLION MARKET In September of 2020, HPQ CEO Bernard Tourillon stated: “Since 2017, our collaboration with Apollon has enabled us to  benefit from their world-renowned expertise with high value-added  Silicon applications.  The addition of manufacturing hydrogen by  hydrolysis to our collaboration opens up a new and unique business  opportunity that could represent a second multibillion-dollar  addressable market for the PUREVAPTM Nano Silicon (Si) Reactor (“NSiR”)  nanopowders.” For decades, hydrogen was presumed to be “the fuel of the future,”  with electric cars limited to the niche of small, short-range urban cars  – but hasn’t been able to deliver due to too many issues to mention  here with fuel cells.  Hydrogen by Hydrolysis is a great alternative but  cost prohibitive due to the costs of porous silicon nano powders ….  until now.
