Geospatial Technology: A Catalyst for Modern InnovationBeyond Earth-based uses, geospatial tools are now integral to advancements in autonomous vehicles, drone technology, and even space exploration. As data becomes increasingly abundant, the ability to tie that data to a physical location adds powerful context that static information cannot provide. Geospatial technology enhances safety, efficiency, and scalability. It enables vehicles and systems to operate with spatial awareness, supports AI-driven decision-making, and ultimately helps automate logistics in a reliable and responsive way. FedEx has recently emphasized its commitment to integrating autonomous technologies to enhance logistics efficiency and resilience.​ These initiatives aim to streamline operations and reduce costs, contributing to a $6 billion reduction in the company's cost base over three years. XYO happens to be a partner at the FedEx institute of tech. XYO is also rumored to be integrated with Tesla vehicles -- just like with Bitcoin mining. The hope is to use the XYO blockchain to address location spoofing issues where validity of data and safety is paramount. This goes in hand with Tesla's goals to make your care work for you. In fact, the goal for XYO is to pay users for creating and validating data. Key Developments in the Past 12 Months: 1. Launch of XYO Layer One and Dual-Token Economy 2. Expansion to Solana 3. Introduction of the XYO Platform Node 4. Gamification and User Engagement 5. Developer Resources and Community Building XYO launched the "Build the Future" initiative, aimed at fostering a robust developer community. This program provides resources, documentation, and incentives for developers to build applications and tools on the XYO network. Looking ahead, XYO plans to continue enhancing its Layer-1 blockchain capabilities, expanding interoperability with other blockchain networks, and introducing more user-centric applications. The focus remains on building a decentralized, user-owned geospatial data network that empowers individuals and developers alike. A network-effect-like-potential for this technology is worth paying attention to. From a military standpoint, geospatial technology is critical because it provides the foundation for situational awareness, precision, and operational dominance in modern warfare: GPS and satellite imagery Real-time geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) ensures that moving or hidden targets can be tracked and re-verified before engagement. Terrain analysis Topographic and environmental data Autonomous surveillance drones need GPS and HD geospatial mapping to patrol borders or conflict zones. Logistics bots and unmanned vehicles rely on route optimization for resupply missions under fire or in denied environments. Geospatial analytics can identify unusual patterns (e.g., IED placements, enemy camps) from satellite data. Geofencing can alert personnel when enemies or drones breach a protected area. Before any mission, simulations and war games based on real-world geospatial data improve planning and reduce risks.

Lockheed Martin... Time to move?With tensions rising in the Middle East and the gaining of military activity here in the United States, it could be assumed that the government spending to grow the defense will mostly be seen by large defense firms. Specifically, we will be looking at NYSE:LMT but that doesn't rule out any other defense contractors from this trade ( NYSE:NOC , NASDAQ:HON , NYSE:RTX , NYSE:BA , NYSE:GD ). Firstly, let's examine the charts before reviewing anything fundamental from the company. This is the 4h chart looking back into late-mid January Simply put, this is just two of many possible paths that the NYSE:LMT price action could take. However, these two should be the most expected especially considering its violent downtrend that appears to be "cooling" and not "consolidating". It also appears that NYSE:LMT price action likes to reclaim any Fair Value Gap that it creates quite quickly as of recent trading terms. The good news is that two large FVG's have been created by a rather lackluster earnings report. Now, as for a fundamental analysis POV, we can firstly examine the defense industry's cyclical movement throughout the years. This means that the industry is facing booms and busts. So lets see what the 1 week chart has to say about that... With the chart shown above, you're probably thinking that a quick rebound seems unlikely as the other "BUST" sequences seem to last longer than the "BOOM" sequences. To this I would agree, however being first (or being early) is something I can settle for as there is no possible way to buy the exact bottom penny. When prompted with this dilemma of timing, think back to the Margin Call famous quote... "There are only three ways to make a living in this business: be first ; be smarter; or cheat... it sure is a hell of a lot easier to just be first."

Mobix Labs is gearing up for a bull market!We're back with a new stonk after doing about a 7x on SEALSQ! I don't have much time to write an in depth analysis so please do your own research on this company. Mobix Labs looks to be settling in their growth market, defense contracts signed and a possible acquisition. Earnings are TOMORROW Dec 19th, so of course this is risky - bad earnings could dump the stock significantly. If however, earnings are good and the investor call brings some good news, this one could fly. Technical breakout target is $10 and I like the nice retest on the bull market support band. $2.16 is the first resistance to break and to retest for a first move towards $3.5. Let's see, remember these are low caps and risky!

MOBX resistance / support flip, target: +100% nextMobix Labs had volatile pa after earnings, an overreaction as revenue was up over 400% beating estimates. They're still at an operating loss, which is normal for a startup. Story is simple, they did multiple acquisitions this year: RaGE Systems: Revenue for 2024: Not specified. Acquisition Cost: Approximately $2 million in cash, $10 million in Mobix Labs stock, and possible earn-out payments up to $8 million over eight fiscal quarters. Description: Provides radio frequency joint design and manufacturing services. J-Mark Connectors Inc.: Revenue for 2024: Not specified. Acquisition Cost: Financial terms remain undisclosed. Description: Specializes in custom interconnect solutions for industries like aerospace, military, and defense. Spacecraft Components Corp.: Revenue for 2024: Not specified, but 2023 unaudited revenues were $18.1 million with forecasted growth for the next two years. Acquisition Cost: Between $18 million and $24 million, with consideration to be paid in a combination of cash and equity, subject to earnout provisions. Description: Manufactures mission-critical electronics for the aerospace, defense, and transportation sectors. Now especially Spacecraft Components Corp. is notably as they do 18.1 million in revenue and are worth roughly 22 million. Mobix Labs reported about 3 million in revenue yesterday. This means they will do 7x the revenue after the acquisition is completed in Q1 2025. Next to that they secured the following contracts in 2024 that are not part of the current revenue: In 2024, Mobix Labs, Inc. secured the following contracts: M-1 Abrams Tank Army Contract: for filtered connectors. Sole Source Supply Contract: with Gulfstream Aerospace Corp. for custom filtered connectors used in their business-jet aircraft. GE HealthCare and PerkinElmer Contract: for the sale of proprietary electromagnetic filtering products used in pharmaceutical diagnostics and digital imaging solutions. Tomahawk Missile System Contract: for filtered connector parts. Javelin Missile System Contract: for guidance system components. A 15-month Contract: to supply critical components for aerospace and defense applications, though specific details about the customer or components were not specified. EMI Interconnect Solutions: announced new filtered ARINC connectors and secured aerospace customers. These contracts span various sectors, focusing mainly on military, defense, aerospace, and medical applications. --- Looks to me this company is undervalued and has a lot of growth ahead in 2025... I added on the dip and any buy under $2 should be good long term. Short term pa looks like a support resistance flip and a next target of $3.52 - I also like that this stock isn't popular whatsoever, similar to LAES (SEALSQ) when I found it. A patient hold for me, DYOR, happy holidays!

$NYSE:RTX Rebound After a Healthy PullbackNYSE:RTX is currently in an uptrend, as evidenced by its strong upward movement, followed by a period of consolidation. This phase is crucial as it allows the stock to gather strength and form a stable base before potentially continuing its upward trajectory. The RSI indicates that the stock is approaching a neutral range, which suggests it is neither overbought nor oversold at this point. Given the overall trend and the current consolidation, it would be prudent to allow this phase to fully mature. This will provide a clearer indication of whether the stock is ready for a breakout or if it needs further time to stabilize before continuing its trend. Patience during this phase is key, I'm looking for a breakout beyond 121.40$ to reconsider a position.
