    Vuzix (VUZI) is a wearable technology companies and supplier of smart glasses that use AR and VR technology. The company holds about 40 patents and has 10 additional patents pending.

    The AR market is in its early stages. Projections, however, suggest that it should reach the $120 billion mark by 2020.

    With a relatively small market value of about $140 million, Vuzix carries stellar growth potential. The secret weapon in its arsenal is the Blade 3000 Smart Sunglasses, which received four International CES Innovation 2017 awards.

    These sunglasses allow users to view and interact with digital and video content in high-resolution computer-generated AR and VR worlds.

    In addition, Vuzix's expanding product portfolio offers regular glass lenses that are just 1.4 millimeters thick, placing the company at a solid technological advantage in this emerging sector.

    Shares of Vuzix are undervalued, given that it boasts a series of successful products in the AR and VR arenas. Although the buzz is stronger around Facebook's Oculus VR headset and Sony's attempt to make in-roads into the sector, Vuzix is gradually garnering acclaim and making a dent in the market.

    Resistance just above $8 was tough to crack.

    Lots of volume here this morning, bulls looking for a bounce soon.

    That milestone payments of $1M is kinda meh.

    See how today closes. If not strong, then see if it's possible to get this closer to 5.85.

    This looks to be in a trading channel. There was an upthrust right before ER, but it came back into the channel. This one I've drawn goes down to 3.xx but I can't believe right now it'll get that low. It however is down near 5.45 again, but on much less volume.

    Keep an eye open for some strength. Look at how much volume there was before it got in the channel.

    Damn 78% rate of borrowing shares to short on Interactive Brokers (finally figured out how to display this in the workstation...I heard it was that high, but only way I could confirm it before was to actually short it). So while this has been going sideways for 1.5 months, the Dukes at the brokerage have been making money.

    Trending downward, and think it will continue because haven't seen big capitulation volume yet. Wonder what the rate to borrow shares is...

    This is benefiting from COVID-19.
    Last ER, product gross margins before overheads and other items averaged 50% of sales vs. 24% in the prior year's period. That is a big improvement.
    The next ER they could be looking at 100% revenue increase from last year; I think they'll make it.

    The CEO says "the worldwide coronavirus outbreak has impacted the day-to-day operations of our enterprise customers across numerous market verticals and this has accelerated the enterprise adoption of our smart glasses. The COVID-19 Pandemic continues to show signs of becoming a catalytic event for several technology-related industries, including enterprise smart glasses. The disruption to enterprise operations globally has acted as an accelerant for new customer acquisition, order flow and order size."
