Episode 533

From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, New to The Street's TV Host Jane King talks with David Luci, the President/CEO of Acurx Phamaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) ($ACXP). As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical business, ACXP is developing a new class of antibiotics for life-threatening bacterial infections. David updates viewers on the Company's FDA Phase 2 clinical trial on the Ibezapolstat drug, a treatment for patients with Clostridioides difficile Infections (CDI). Based on positive data from Phase 2a and Phase 2b, management is now going forward with the FDA Phase 3. The Company compared its top-line data with the currently used standard-of-care drugs in the marketplace, and Ibezapolstat has impressive positive results. Phases 2a and 2b confirmed that the drug had success in 25 out of 26 patients, approximately 96% success with no reinfections. Competitor drugs have been used for decades to treat CDI, but the reinfection rates are very high. ACXP's Ibezapolsat study results have shown to combat reinfections effectively. Based on the data and other publications regarding the market size for newly discovered and effective treatment of CDI, ACXP believes Ibezapolstat could be a market worth over $1B. David explains how the Company will fund its FDA Phase 3 study and, upon successful approval, will leverage data/results for future approval(s) with the European Medicines Agency. Decades-old antibacterial drugs are not working due to changes in the molecular composition of CDI. Thousands of people worldwide die annually, with many catching CDI in hospitals and nursing homes. Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. believes its Ibezapolstat drug is the next generation for effectively treating CDI.

From the New York Stock Exchange Studio, New to The Street's TV Host Jane King is with Kortney Murray, CEO/Founder of Coastal Kapital, LLC ("Coastal"), a non-bank and non-credit report funding entity. Capital is the lifeblood of any business, but many small to mid-size companies cannot secure a capital line for their operational needs. Kortney started Coastal Kapital in 2007 to help many secure needed operational funds. Coastal changed the narrative on funding with Kortney and her team looking beyond a person's credit score. They examine the business operations and products/services and perform due diligence to understand business owners' commitment and sacrifices. Kortney says that current bank loan algorithms have been in place since the 1950s, and they only look at credit scores as the mathematical stats to approve loans. Coastal differentiates itself by looking at the human element behind an operation and seeks to understand the business owners' needs and how funding can grow existing operations. Coastal Kapital is raising money through a "Private Placement Memorandum" under the US SEC Rule 506(c) of Regulation D. Funds raised will increase the capital pool Coastal can use to assist those in need. The money raised will help women, minorities, and other businesses in their operations. Education is key to financial literacy, and Coastal looks to establish online resources and other collaborations to help people understand finance terminologies and methodologies. With current interest rates, Korney assists many manufacturers and vendors with difficulties securing necessary equipment and provides sales training and marketing ideas to grow product sales/services during these economic times. Throughout 2024, Kortney believes its debt funding will be in place so Coastal Kapital can expand its reach and help as many as possible secure business capital needs. Coastal Kapital, LLC continues to grow regardless of current macroeconomic conditions, and its services are available nationwide – "Financing You Can Trust."

American Conservative Values ETF's (NYSE: ACVF) Bill Flaig, Founder/CEO, and New to The Street's Jane King are at the New York Stock Exchange Studio talking about the Fund's conservative investment criteria. The Fund looks for investments in conservative-run companies seeking growth for its politically conservative investors. Bill explains that many investors don't realize that their 401(k) and other investment instruments have financial positions in public companies whose management teams are more involved with political ideologies than running a business effectively. Management with political agendas hurt shareholder returns and tarnish the brands of goods and services produced. Unknowingly, an investor's money might be within investment funds with companies who restrict and promote negativity on conservative attitudes, promoting it on social media platforms, reducing banking access, and even denying goods/services to conservatives. After 25 years in the mutual fund business, Bill and his partner decided to start ACVF as an investment vehicle to capitalize on entities not taking a political stance and talking politics. The Fund's management wants to improve bottom-line earnings and fiduciary growth for their conservative investors. ACVF is a proper conservative investment ETF that slightly beats the S&P in percentage gains and recently received a Morning Star "4-Star" rating. Bill and his team boycotted many companies that were hostile to conservative values. ACVF's managers strongly believe the economic tool of denying companies capital is a powerful motivation for management to change course and focus on business, not political policies. The ETF has diversified large-cap positions to provide large-cap performance and risk management without woke ideologies. Investment Thesis: "American Conservative Values ETF (NYSE: ACVF) is based on the conviction that politically active companies negatively impact their shareholder returns, as well as support issues and causes opposed to conservative political ideals, beliefs, and values."

Investors cannot make a stock position directly with the fund, and all investments need to facilitate themselves through a brokerage account.

New to The Street's TV Host Jane King, from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, talks about PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: PETV) (NASDAQ: PETVW) ($PETV) ("PetVivo") with John Lai, CEO/President. PetVivo's patented product, Spryng with OsteoCushion Technology, gives veterinarians a tool to help pet owners manage their pets' osteoarthritis and other joint-related ailments. John informs viewers that the Company is at New York's Javits Convention Center for the 2023 United States Vet Show. The attending veterinarians and other animal health professionals at the show give PETV a platform to educate health providers on the benefits of using Spryng as a treatment for dogs, cats, and horses with osteoarthritis. At the Vet Show, a couple of doctors discussed the clinical results of numerous studies showing the efficacy and safety of using Spryng. One study revealed the product as an excellent, non-invasive, non-surgical alternative in treating dogs with ruptured cranial cruciate ligaments - like ACL injuries in humans. PETV will be at the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) conference in San Diego, California, and two veterinarians will present the Spryng results and use them on horses. In January 2024, the Company will be at the Veterinary Meeting & Expo (VMX) conference in Orlando, Florida. Doctors will present results and data on Company's Spryng product in this small animal vet show. John feels these conferences are important in getting veterinarians and others knowledgeable about published results, data, and real-life successes on animals treated with Spryng. They can educate many that the 30-year treatments currently used can be replaced and improved upon using Spryng.

New to the Street TV airs its "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security Segment – Weekly Hack" with internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Mr. Alain Ghiai, CEO of Sekur Private Data, Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) (Sekur®) and TV Co-Host / Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry. The "Weekly Hack" is about ICBC (Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited), the largest bank in the world, getting hacked. Its subsidiary, ICBC Financial Services (FS), experienced an outage from the ransomware attack, resulting in a system shutdown. FS' US Government Bond trades and other financial transactions worth around $9B couldn't settle, causing a ripple in the financial markets. Alain believes the bank's corporate email system became compromised, and the ransomware hack entered their computer system. Alain found it odd that executives converted to their Gmail accounts to communicate with clients and others within the organization when the corporate system was offline. Anytime anyone uses an open-platform, free Big Tech email, one takes a chance at a cybersecurity breach. Interestingly, Alain explains to viewers that the Sekur started 10 years ago with the development of a full-server backup product. The idea came shortly after the Sony Pictures Entertainment hack. Since then, Sekur has launched several subscription-based products for individuals and businesses. SekurMail with the SekurSend/SekurReply feature can greatly eliminate the chances of a cyber breach. An end-user sends an email from their SekurMail account, the recipient gets an invitation to proceed, and the whole communication occurs on Sekur's wholly-owned servers. The email feature can even protect the recipient who is not a Sekur subscriber. The Company never uses third-party platforms or software; all product offerings are encrypted and closed-looped. Another essential solution is SekurVPN, which offers a Swiss VPN IP address, allowing end-users to appear always in Switzerland. SekurVPN virtually eliminates the tracking of end-users' web traffic. All subscribers' electronic communications are through the Company's owned and maintained data servers in Switzerland, a country with the strictest privacy laws in the world. Alain offers viewers who want to subscribe to Sekur PROMO CODE: PRIVACY, a 15% savings for the next 5 years on all products and bundled services. Remember: Sekur never sells data, asks for phone numbers, has no 3rd party cloud applications, and never tracks web traffic. Viewers, please tune in next week for the "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security Segment – Weekly Hack."
