Taking Another Look at Alphatrade (APTD) $0.22 |
|
================================================== Numbers are out today and it's yet another record quarter for the company. This, we believe is the 29th (maybe 30th) consecutive up quarter for them. And the 5th or 6th consecutive year. They just keep chugging along, quarter after quarter, year after year. We've followed the 8 year old company since early 2000 and initiated coverage, after watching them develop for 6 years. There is little question (as they have shown) that the company has the ability to continually attract more and more users and generate more and more revenues, year after year. The primary question is can they "accelerate" growth. Can they get to $10, $15 or $20 million. To answer the "little" question: 2001: $ 238,189. To answer the "primary" question, look at the "accelerated" rate -- which shows their addition of sports related advertising revenues (AlphatradeSN), which was just launched. 1Q: $1,191,207 As a reminder, they have three divisions which interrelate and all work together. AlphatradeQN (Quotes Network) The acceleration is most evident, in the most recent quarter. We also believe also we may be at the beginning, of the acceleration. For just three months ended September 30, 2007 revenues hit $1,610,378. This is a 51% increase over fiscal 2006. The motto at AlphaTrade has always been - "never give up." It might be more accurate to say, "never give up -- bringing in more money each and every quarter." In a recent press release, Penny Perfect stated, "Although our revenue to date in 2007 has shown steady growth, it is expected the remainder of 2007 will show tremendous growth. By that we mean our revenue will easily double over our 2006 figures. Our partnerships with national and grassroots sports operations have increased our website traffic by over 500% since the beginning of the year, resulting in Q3 advertising revenues increasing by over 135% to $817,523, over the same period last year." She additionally stated, "I wish to express my deepest gratitude to all our present shareholders for their unwavering support of AlphaTrade and its endeavors. It takes a dedicated team of passionate and committed individuals, including shareholders, to pilot big ideas through to fruition. It also takes a lot of patience and foresight." Let's look at the chart. 1 Year Chart: http://tinyurl.com/36zopx In short, we feel extremely confident the stock is going to trade higher during 2008. The tougher part is when the move starts. If nothing else, one should be able to see a value proposition of being involved in a stock selling for 1/5th of where is was 5 years ago -- while at the same time, revenues have gone up 5 fold. More tomorrow.

We would like to point out that the majority of companies listed on the OTC Bulletin Board have factors which create an uncertainty about the their ability to continue as a going concern. These concerns are typically related to financing (or lack of), competitive environments, lack of operating history and operating at loss levels which is typical of most start-ups. These statement can usually be found in their most recent 10Q filings and typically you don't have to dig to far down past the financial tables. We like to use http://www.pinksheets.com for quick and easy access to SEC filings. We think it would be wise for most investors to assume that all companies listed on the OTC Bulletin Board (and many on NASDAQ) have going concern issues. Disclaimer: Important Distinction #1. First and foremost the Watch List is just that. A watch list. It is not a buy list. Meaning that there will be no buys or sales issued by the Internet Stock Review. If this was a buy list, you can rest assured that we would crank up our Public Relations arm into high gear, full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes to make everyone know just how brilliant we were when we issued the list. Interviews on CNBC, articles in Barron's and accolades in the Wall Street Journal--the only thing we love more than money is praise and fame--but it just isn't going to happen. What the Internet Stock Review is...is a "news aggregation service". With the advent of the Internet, everyone knows what that term means. What it means to us is the following: We will follow the progress of as many Internet related publicly traded stocks as humanly possible (The large, the small and the minuscule) and advise you of when they have reported news. As a subscriber to the Internet Stock Review, this means you will be able to broadly follow the entire industry right from a single e-mail. We will report who released news and point (with hyper links) to where the news can be found. We try to use Yahoo! Finance as extensively as possible so we don't send you all over cyberspace.
