NFC is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices that allow them to communicate with each other without touching, but by being in close proximity.

  Just for the record, yes, I was the same guy who two days ago was telling you to bail out of Intellicheck Mobilisa, Inc. (NYSEMKT:IDN), locking in whatever gain you could on the falling stock while there was a gain to be hand. So why am I calling IDN a buy now? Because my bearish worries were from two days ago... a lifetime, in trading terms.
