I'll be keeping this on my watchlist... [Image] Netflix could charge $100 a month, and Iâd probably still pay for it. Like most folks, Iâm addicted to streaming media. Who wants to wait for any show or movie when you can have it RIGHT NOW! This is the world we live in. So, why not play the game? Itâs fair to say that at-home streaming media is saturated. But thereâs a place content hits us we rarely recognize - businesses. Think about the last time you went to a McDonaldâs. Do you remember seeing televisions overhead? Or how about the last time you went to the gym and streamed TikTok from the screen on the treadmill? The trend is wider and more powerful than you probably realize. And thereâs one player that sits at the top of the pack - Loop Media Inc. (AMEX: LPTV). And for traders, itâs got a fairly small float at just over 29 million and a wide 1-month trading range that leaves plent of room for profits. Loop Media Inc. (AMEX: LPTV) - 1-month trading range: $2.68 - $4.50
- Typical average daily volume: 113,000

While it does manage a gross profit, its SG&A expenses pull its net income into the negative. And even when you remove stock-based compensation and other non-cash items, the company burns through around $13 million per year in cash from operations.

Thatâs largely why the company issued $12.8 million in long-term debt last year as well as issued $13.3 million worth of common stock on top of the $10.4 million it tendered the year before. Promoter Activity I only came across one promoter pushing the stock. However, they were paid a hefty $200,000 to run a campaign from 5/19/2023 - 6/9/2023. And quite honestly, they did a crap job. There highlights where three-fold: - May 23, 2023 - LPTVâs inclusion in the Russell 2000 and Russell 3000, effective June 26
- The low float size of LPTV (approximately 27.75 million shares) could contribute to potential volatility in the stock.
- Oversold technical indicators, such as the 9-Day and 14-Day Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the 14-Day Raw Stochastic, which could indicate a potential bounce/reversal in the stock The inclusion to the major Russell indexes is a huge deal and a big reason to keep an eye on this stock. A 28 million share float is important but not timely. And technical indicators like stochastics and RSIs change markedly from the start of the campaign to the end. So I ignore them. Now, the promoter could have highlighted some of these other catalysts: - June 8, 2023 - Loop Media announces strategic partnership with Pypestream, the leading self-service automation platform with an all-in-one cloud messaging and conversational AI Everyone knows how big AI is to the trading and investment world. And I get that their marketing campaign was closing a day later. But come onâ¦this could have been a HUGE catalyst. And how do they not discuss the companyâs June 2 quarterly results? Straight to the Facts Iâm at least keeping LPTV on my watchlist through its inclusion into the Russell indexes. Oftentimes, stocks will rise into these events. That could provide some nice swing trading in the short term. But I wouldnât be surprised if the AI news catches fire once someone notices.
