SVRE: Restoring Balance Despite Market Volatility Despite a slew of safety improvements added to vehicles in the U.S. over the past 20 years – like forward collision warnings, emergency braking, lane departure warnings, blind spot detection, backup cameras, etc., nearly 43,000 people died in traffic accidents in 2022 in the U.S., up 30% from 2013.2 Experts agree that there is not one simple explanation for this apparent contradiction where we are driving safer vehicles and yet, traffic fatalities continue to climb. Some of the increase is simply driven by math, because while the U.S. population has grown by 5.4% over the past decade the number of registered vehicles in the U.S. has grown by over 16.8% during the same period. However, there has also been a notable increase in what the NHTSA calls “dangerous driving behaviors” – speeding, impaired driving, and failure to wear a seatbelt – which are pushing traffic fatalities up in the U.S.
Enter the SaverOne Solution
While protecting everyone on the roads from the dangers of distracted driving is an admirable goal, until legislation completely bars access to technology in our vehicles the reality is that economics will drive adoption of tools to prevent distracted driving. In the case of commercial fleets, think bus companies, trucking and delivery companies, the risk of litigation from a single distracted driver incident is so great, that these companies are looking for alternative solutions to eliminate a driver’s access to distracting phone apps. Again, while this technology largely exists in most phones, it requires the driver to actively opt-in, and in the case of commercial vehicles looking to mitigate liability risk, they want to remove the opt-in requirement and instead have a system that automatically limits a driver’s phone to only essential tools to prevent driver distraction.
SaverOne (NASDAQ:SVRE) has built its first commercial product to address just this need by detecting and locating a driver’s cell phone radiofrequency (RF) signal. The company’s first commercial product - an In-Cabin Driver Distraction Prevention Solution (DDPS) branded as the SaverOne system, can identify if a cell phone is in the vicinity of the driver’s seat and with the SaverOne App installed it will block access to the most distracting apps (social media/texting) while still allowing necessary apps like navigation and the ability to make hands-free phone calls. SaverOne is initially deploying this solution for the commercial market so companies operating commercial vehicles, buses, or vehicles provided to employees can mitigate their liability associated with distracted driving.
The company launched this product in 2019 in Israel with several pilot programs and as of August 2023 about 4,300 systems have been ordered and roughly 3,000 of these systems have been installed. The company released a second generation of the distracted driver protection solution in the fourth quarter of 2022, which will target the larger global auto market and in 2023 the company announced its first international sales. We believe that the company is still identifying the best distribution, installation, and marketing strategies for global markets.
Recent financial results and news:
In the first half of 2023, the company reported a sharp jump in year-over-year revenues to roughly $400k as the number of installed systems grew to 3,000 as of August 29, 2023 (up from 1,750 installed units as of 3/31/23). While this growth rate is impressive it is important to note that SaverOne is still a fairly small company and managing its growth as the company moves from initial pilot installations to full fleet installations will be a challenge. The company’s first-half operating loss of $4.8 million was due in large part to the $3.3 million R&D expenditure. The company has indicated that as it develops its OEM solution and VRU product R&D expenditures will likely remain elevated.
Other Notable Milestone:
- The company announced that Electra Afikim (a large public transportation company in Israel) would install the SaverOne System in its entire bus fleet representing roughly 1,200 vehicles, SaverOne’s largest order to-date.
- The company announced a meaningful expansion of its pilot projects outside of Israel with an additional pilot project on buses in the Gulf region; a second pilot project in the U.S.; and its first pilot in Europe.
- In 2022, the company entered into a memorandum of understanding with IVECO (one of the leading medium/heavy truck manufacturers in the world) to integrate its solution within IVECO trucks. This has the potential to be a game-changing agreement for the company based on IVECO’s size (producing over 150,000 vehicles annually).
IPO/Financing:
A little over a year ago, in June 2022, the company closed on its initial public offering of 2.94 million units (consisting of an ADS and one warrant to purchase an ADS) at a price of $4.13 per unit raising roughly $13 million in gross proceeds. Each ADS represents 5 shares of common stock.
In December 2022, the company completed a private placement of 0.8 million ADSs at $1.854 per ADS raising roughly $1.5 million in gross proceeds.
Closing Notes
SaverOne (NASDAQ:SVRE) is an emerging company addressing the challenging issue of cell phone device use inside a moving vehicle. Distracted driving continues to get worse around the globe despite numerous public awareness campaigns. Corporate fleets and commercial transportation companies need tools to limit distracted driving that operate seamlessly without requiring a driver to opt-in and that is the solution that SaverOne has brought to the market.
The opportunities in front of SaverOne as they expand into fleets, push into international markets, launch an OEM solution for car makers, and build a tool to protect Vulnerable Road Users will have to be weighed by investors against the dilution risk related to any pending financing.
There is no doubt that distracted driving remains a huge problem around the globe, but absent significant legislative action (the EU has recently enacted some distracted driving measures to be rollout over the next few years), the current half-hearted approach to the problem (relying on driver compliance) is likely going to be the default in most markets. As more advanced features are built into new vehicles, it is likely that adoption rates of Driver Distraction Prevention Solutions like those offered by SaverOne with grow.
SaverOne is an early-stage market entrant but if you are watching for next-generation safety solutions in the transportation market then you should have it on your radar.

VOLVO BULLISH CONTINUATION Volvo Cars, based in Sweden, has announced a remarkable 21% increase in car sales for the month of July compared to the previous year. The company managed to sell 54,165 vehicles during this period, marking the 11th consecutive month of continuous year-over-year growth.
Taking a broader look at the year so far, Volvo has demonstrated impressive performance in 2023. In the initial seven months of the year, the company achieved a global car sales figure of 395,856 units. This substantial number reflects an impressive 18% growth when compared to the same timeframe in 2022. This growth can largely be attributed to the surging demand for their fully electric and plug-in hybrid models, which have captured the interest of consumers.

3M Co. is a technology company that creates industrial, safety, and consumer products. They operate under different segments such as Safety and Industrial, Transportation and Electronics, Health Care, and Consumer.
Recently, the company has faced a major challenge involving around 260,000 pending lawsuits due to their military earplugs malfunctioning. The outcome of these legal proceedings could greatly impact 3M, either causing severe consequences or presenting a unique investment opportunity.
Our team predicts that despite the uncertainty, institutions will likely intervene and purchase 3M's stock as it returns to its established pattern of gradual and steady growth, also known as the company's intrinsic or true value. However, it is important to acknowledge that the future outcome is still subject to change and could sway in either direction.
Here is my strategy: I plan to sell 25% of my BLO1 holdings at every take profit point, while keeping the remaining amount for a long-term investment. However, I have no plans to sell any of my BLO2 holdings and will be holding them for the long term. This is commonly referred to as the "diamond hand strategy."
Happy Trading‼️
XAGUSD BULL SETUP
OANDA:XAGUSD
XAG is shown of the daily chart. has long-term resistance at 24.39.
At present, it has been trending on an arc with may represent the downward
slope of a cup and handle pattern. Moreover, a Hull Moving Average over 90 days
shows a good pit to the price action.
The RSI candles confirm the price action with low strength at price lows
then an inflection to gain strength and vice-versa.
XAGUSD had a triple top in mid-March to mid-April and now
appears to be setting up a double bottom.
The Hull Moving Average is now on an uptrend as is the trend arc line.
as potentially the upside of the cup in the cup and handle is forming.
I see a swing trade long with adds whenever the price action touches or crossing
the hull moving average, the arc line and /or low RSI on the oscillator.
Controversial Trade Idea: $GWW sells metal detectorsI'll do my best to leave the politics out of this.
Mass shootings are in the spotlight again, and it would be obvious in hindsight to see a boost in demand and sales for security systems such as metal detectors.
NYSE:GWW , who just teamed up with The Mom Project, had $13 billion in sales in 2021 and is a leading distributor with operations in North America, Japan, and the UK. They also provide services like repair, maintenance, and other solutions.
$GWW is consolidated, allowing for both directional entry upon a breakout north or south (breakout levels $530 and $450, respectively). I will trade in the direction of the break with a bullish personal bias.

An Obvious Investment. Profits 100%+.Everyday you hear of recession and taking a quick look at gold stocks, they seem to be the safe haven and profit maker during financial uncertainty. Take a quick look at New Gold during the recession years of 2009-12. Gold stocks rose with the price of gold and this stock under $1 is an absolute must buy.
NGD is in line with its historic lows of 2008 and has only up to go from here. A slowdown is happening, recession is inevitable. Some say that Bitcoin is the answer, but, large investors and institutions will direct their funds from Bitcoin to gold , gold stocks, and precious metal mining stocks. The price of Bitcoin would drop during a recession as investors will seek safe havens. Bitcoin does not have the stability to be considered a safe haven as it can drop 20-40% in a single day. You can rest at night knowing that gold at most falls $40-50 a day, but averages $5-10 swings per day. That is true monetary stability.
- Buy In : $0.90-0.99
- Short Term Target : $1.30 or 30%
- Long Term Target : $7.00 - $10.00 or 600-900%.
The signs are everywhere, the numbers prove it. Most of Europe is in recession. Import/Exports are down. China's GDP is the lowest in 25-years. Brick and Mortar stores are closing faster than ever. Massive restructurings = massive layoffs. This is sounds like 2008 all over again. Be prepared, invest smart.

Volatile premarket + top of trend channel = buy putsI recommend using the Cashflow indicator to see the full market story. When programmed, it shows:
Green = a lot of buying
Yellow = people closing long positions
Red = people shorting the market
Orange = people closing short positions
Grey = market noise
These are my interpretations of the market behavior and not necessarily accurate in times of low volume. I recommend avoiding consolidation days.
