$SFOR - Strikeforce Technologies Dissecting the Impact of Document Security Systems Inc.

According to historical prices on Yahoo! Finance, despite the fact that DSS (Document Security Systems Inc. ticker symbol DSS on the NYSE) stock has given back some of those gains, the stock is currently trading at $1.31 which is higher than its close of $1.04 on the day prior to the ACS (Advanced Cyber Security Corp.) master distributer agreement contract.  Specfically, this is 25.96% higher.

The underlying keystroke ecryption software that Advanced Cyber Security Corporation uses was created by StrikeForce Technologies, ticker symbol SFOR on the OTC stock market.

Now we must ask ourselves, who buys these shares and how many are outstanding?   Also according to Yahoo! Finance there are 35.82 million shares in the float.  On March 5th when the announcement was made, 25,515,800 traded hands during the day.

Now let's consider this also:
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/DSS/holders?p=DSS
15 different Institutions own 4.75% of the float and 28.64% of shares are owned by insiders. 

The following is the top instutional holder:
Renaissance Technologies, LLC 224,530 ‎Dec‎ ‎30‎, ‎2018 1.34% 164,490

Now on a day like March 5th, one must know that the institutions did notice and roughly 1.5 million shares prior to that day were owned by institutions because the date of their holdings reported was December 30, 2018.  In my view there is a chance some of them may have increased their holdings on March 5th.

It is also owned by mutual funds and here is the top holder of DSS stock:
Vanguard Extended Market Index Fund 111,407 ‎Sep‎ ‎29‎, ‎2018 0.66% 118,091

There is no doubt in my mind that the fund managers know what is going on here because an increase of that much on a day like that does not go unnoticed.  The sustained increase of 25.96% through today tells me that  the market has assigned an estimated value of $9.45 million to this announcement.  This was calculated as the .27 increase multiplied by the 35 million share float.
Hmm, what should that tell us about SFOR's stock value?  In my opinion I like what I see.
