Our target potential upside is 85% to 181%.

Potential Risks / Red Flags:

1. The company has a history of net losses.
   

   VISL – Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss

2. The company was formerly known as xG Technology, Inc. and changed its name to Vislink Technologies, Inc. in February 2019.
3. Despite being a loss-making company, the executives are being paid significant compensation.
   

   VISL – Executive Compensation

4. The company had received a letter from the NASDAQ Staff on March 4, 2020, notifying that VISL did not comply with Listing Rule 5635(d) because its February 2020 offering did not meet the Nasdaq definition of a public offering under Listing Rule IM-5635-3. On April 30, 2020, NASDAQ determined not to delist VISL’s Common Stock for such non-compliance and closed this matter by issuing a letter of reprimand under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(4).

As you can see, today’s featured penny stock offers big upside potential… but it also comes with a number of risks and red flags. As always, when dealing with penny stocks, we advise caution before entering into such high-risk ventures.

READ BEFORE TRADING PENNY STOCKS: The allure of penny stocks lies in their potential to deliver massive gains in a short period of time. However, in exchange for that opportunity, most penny stocks carry tremendous risk. They can be extremely volatile and are susceptible to “pump and dump” schemes and fraud.

Unlike regular stocks, the financial condition of most penny stock companies can be extremely difficult to analyze, as the majority of such stocks are traded on over-the-counter (OTC) exchanges, which are typically less transparent and less regulated than the major exchanges. In fact, in the penny stock space, it’s often easier to spot warning signs and red flags than it is to identify a sound investment. Nevertheless, we do our best to identify short-term trade opportunities in this exciting space because we know some of our readers are looking for high-risk, high-reward ideas. We just urge you to make sure you fully understand the risks before making any of these trades.
