Commerce Planet
(OTC BB: CPNE) Puts Money Where Is |
|
This morning I was going through
the BLOG comments from the past few days. One member asked for an updated
chart on Commerce Planet, still the #1 most widely held and followed
OTC
Journal idea- also still my #1 idea for price appreciation.
I thought it was a good idea to provide
a technical update, and was starting to look at the chart just this afternoon
when news hit the tape.
As it turns out, the chart you will
see in this edition might be old news by tomorrow morning if CPNE
responds appropriately relative to today's news. Almost as if on cue, the
company is actually doing what a number of OTC Journal subscribers
have suggested already. Mr. Hill must be reading and taking your ideas
to heart.
Today, just after the close, CPNE
announced the board has authorized the buy back of up to $2 million worth
of stock either through private transactions or in the open market.
Stock buy backs are tricky, but they
are always good for shareholders. There are regulatory restrictions which
make them more complicated than they appear at the outset. For example,
the company can't just decide to start buying as much as they want tomorrow.
There are restrictions. I believe they can only match the highest bid price.
They can't sweep out the offers in the open market.
In the case of CPNE, the idea
of buying back stock in a private transaction might be far more interesting.
The supply of stock coming from early financiers has been well chronicled,
and perhaps the company can buy a number of shares at a discount to the
market and then retire them. This would reduce the number of shares I&O,
and therefore increase the value of your ownership (assuming you are a
shareholder).
I suspect this move will get the
stock moving up nicely. Here's the chart as of today's close:
Let's take a little longer term look
at what has happened with this stock. This chart goes back to $.50- when
the June numbers were released. The stock surged to a high of $1.80 by
mid October.
The drop back into the $1.50 in anticipation
of the Q3 earnings release was a normal trading pattern. Investors got
confused with this stock when it sold off just after releasing the Q3 numbers-
which were spectacular. Common sense suggested the stock should have gone
higher.
Many theories concerning the sell
off have been bandied about- regardless of the reason this fact remains-
there was more supply than demand at that moment in time.
The longer term picture right now
is quite bullish. The post Q3 numbers sell off sent many momentum traders
scurrying for the exit door. I advised traders to sell the stock if they
weren't prepared to hold it down to $1- on the third day it traded down
to $1.11.
Now the stock seems to have found
a level it likes- $1.30. Based on today's news, this level should act as
a spring board for the stock to try to surge higher.
Two things jump off the chart- 1.
The stock is trading right on the 38.2% retracement level of the move off
$.50- a great level to accumulate, and 2. Volume has dried up considerably
since the crazy week post Q3 numbers suggesting supply is diminishing.
Technically, this all bodes very
well for this stock to start behaving better this week. If it does start
behaving better, the next edition will cover "measured moves".
Here is the complete text of today's
news for your review:
