$DRUS Awarded Another Government Contract for 1-5 Years$DRUS
List of all Government contracts awarded in 2018 can be found here: govtribe.com
New ones have not been added yet, here is the news for the newest contract today: www.otcmarkets.com
I predict based on the overall long term chart and the constant acquisition of contracts that .50-$1.00 is not crazy but an actual realistic long term goal for this year.
$BYOC Finishes Consolidation On Last Day of Tax Season.$BYOC Consolidated from .16 down to .05 on the final day of tax season moving quickly back over .06 on its way towards its third major leg up ahead of upcoming developments following the closing of its first acquisition, future uplistment to OTCQB (and NASDAQ way later down the road) and the possibility of 2-3 more acquisitions coming down the pipe this year. My LT target analysis is still firmly at a $2.00-$4.00 range by EOY into late spring of next year.
