A Stagnant Cloud Company Goes Blockchain and Its Public Shares Soar

Public Shares Soar

Another Stagnant Company Reaps the 'Blockchain Benefits'
Over the past few weeks, we’ve reported on a few companies using the blockchain hype to their advantage. For instance, the Long Island Iced Tea Corp. changed its name to ‘Long Blockchain,’ and the company’s shares soared. The drink company is now planning to create a mining facility and pivot away from the iced tea business. Three days ago we also reported on a so-called ‘blockchain firm’ that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) shut down because it had no revenue and no product. Now Ameri Holdings (OTCQB: AMRH), a ‘digital cloud’ company, is joining the blockchain bandwagon, and a columnist from the publication Seeking Alpha is skeptical about the situation.
The researcher says AMRH’s financial records are concerning.  
“Core growth is completely stalled, operating income has been significantly negative, cash levels have been declining, and the company is in a massive $20 million working capital deficit,” explains the recent report.  
We believe that nothing has changed in the business fundamentals of AMRH. The company’s revenue growth has stagnated over the past three quarters— In addition, losses have continued to grow on surging general and administrative expenses. Cash flow has been negative recently, and cash levels stand at $0.8 million — Working capital is a significant concern.

Ameri Holdings’ Promises of Blockchain Adds Crazy Trade Volume and a Valuation Increase of $39 Million

Then on January 10, the company announced that blockchain technology would be added to the firm’s business model. The press release promised AMRH shareholders the distributed ledger technology would bring greater efficiency and transparency to its supply chain. Further smart contracts were mentioned for vendors, and the word blockchain was used frequently throughout the announcement. The researcher notes that AMRH shares soared by over 71 percent immediately after the blockchain announcement.
“Amazingly, 13,615,785 shares traded hands compared with the usual average of approximately 100,000 per day,” explains the report.
The report finds the pump in share price concerning, especially when its tethered to a firm that’s produced very little revenue.
“We believe the $39 million increase in equity market capitalization is unwarranted and believe investors should be watchful of the potential for the stock to trade higher providing another short sale opportunity,” the research report notes.

Stagnant Companies Reaping Benefits Off the Blockchain Hype Is Currently a Sign of the Times

Companies like these, and recent regulatory crackdowns against blockchain firms with no product, have caused a lot of skepticism towards initial coin offerings (ICO)and the slew of ‘distributed ledger technology’ announcements. There are definitely a lot of people who believe a $39 million increase in equity market capitalization is unusual for a stagnant company that suddenly goes blockchain, but a lot of individuals see it as a sign of the times.

Real Cryptos Reside on Your Cellphone

The internet was born on desktop devices but it now resides in our pockets – or more often our palms, since we rarely stop using our mobile devices long enough these days to put them away. When Satoshi published his white paper in October 2008, desktop was still the preferred means of doing business on the web, but all that was about to change. 14 months earlier, Steve Jobs had unveiled the iPhone, ushering in the stirrings of what would become the mobile revolution. Meanwhile, Satoshi was quietly getting on with his own cryptocurrency revolution. By late 2010, Satoshi had checked out, but the seed he had sown was sprouting into a digital money tree that was growing fast. By 2016, mobile web usage outstripped desktop usage, and the crypto economy, which had stagnated for the last two years, exploded into life. Suddenly everyone was releasing coins and tokens, many of which were mobile-oriented, and everyone was tweeting, Snapchatting and vlogging about crypto. There was just one p...

New National Minimum wage report to be submitted next week.

By Johnbosco Agbakwuru ABUJA— BARING any last minutes change, the tripartite committee approved by the Federal Government to review the minimum wage will submit its report this week. Although the committee was supposed to present its report last month, the public holidays to mark Eid-el-Kabir affected the date. It was  gathered that the committee met, yesterday, at Trsnscorp Hilton, Abuja and a highly placed source privy to the meeting said that the organised labour was pressing that the report be concluded today. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said that though the government representatives had requested for more time,  labour felt the report of the committee had been delayed for too long. “We are pressing that the report is made ready today. We are supposed to conclude everything about the report in August but the Sallah holiday affected the planned date. Though the government representatives have requested for more time, we feel that ...
