No new BLOG entries this past
week, but the 4th quarter rally looks like it going to happen. For the
first time in a very long time, I am seeing some of my non-energy positions
head higher, which is very encouraging.

Check back frequently for updates particularly when stocks are moving to

It was a huge week for the markets.
Despite a two month delay as compared to '04, Santa might indeed be on
his way to stock market investors as he is 84% of the time.
The NASDAQ Comp, which had a nice
summer rally from mid July to mid August, swooned in September and October
as Mother Nature unleashed her entire fury on the US Energy infrastructure,
driving energy prices through the roof.
However, the US Economy continues
to demonstrate it has the ability to adapt and prosper. To paraphrase Mark
Twain, the death of the American Consumer has been greatly exaggerated.
Most economists predicted American Consumers would all hide in their newly
remodeled and refinanced homes, afraid to spend a few extra bucks on gasoline.
As usual, the economist were wrong.
October retail sales came out early
in the week, and they blew away all the estimates. The consumer represents
70% of GDP, and apparently the consumer is alive, well, and responded to
early retail markdowns.
The market traded up magnificently,
convincingly breaking the down trend line associated with the brutal hurricane
season. Santa's coming. The market has changed directions. Buy the dips,
and do so now. Retail investors are behind on this one as there were outflows
in mutual funds this past week, but it's not too late to load up the truck
on your favorite stocks.

NetWork Installation
(OTC BB: NWKI): $20 Million Plus, Here We Come |
|
When Jeffrey Hultman agreed
to take the reins at fledgling NWKI back on March 7th, I was very
excited. After all, this is the guy who managed the growth of PacTel from
$100 million to $1 billion in sales, and eventually pedaled the company
to Verizon at a huge premium.
Throughout a multi decade career,
Hultman has successfully managed to roll up a number of exciting technology
companies into a nice bundle and sell them at a big premium for investors.
Can you spell Deja Vu all over again?
On Friday after the market closed, CEO Hultman announced NWKI had
closed another major acquisition. Southern California based Spectrum
Communications has been acquired for 18.5 million shares of NWKI
stock.
Through October of '05, Spectrum had $12 million in '05 revenues.
About $1.2 million per month.
NWKI will now turn the corner
into 2006 cooking along at about $22 million in annual revenues,
and looking for loftier levels beyond that. An extraordinary achievement
when you consider the company hit the pavement at about $4 million in annual
revs as '04 became '05.
It has taken six months for Hultman
to
get rolling, but now it's all systems go. I can assure the first $25 million
is much harder than the next $75 million.
The Spectrum acquisition comes with
some major management talent. Meet Robert Rivera. From the press release:
"Spectrum
Communications is a six-time recipient of the 'INC. 500 - Fastest Growing
Companies in America Award' (1998-2003) and a three-time recipient
of the 'Fastest Growing Hispanic Company in America Award'. Robert Rivera
was the 2000 'Entrepreneur of the Year' for Hispanic Business Magazine,
1999 and 2000 First Runner-up for the 'Ernst & Young Inland Empire
Entrepreneur of the Year Award' and a 2001 'Business Press nominee for
Innovator of the Year' Award. Spectrum currently services clients including
and within NORAD, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Healthcare Industry
and K-12 education."
Not Bad.
It's easy to lose perspective in
a year when the market has treated everything non energy pretty savagely.
With this acquisition I can't help but reflect on how the internet has
changed our lives since the late 90's. Consider how much you use the internet
in your daily life. Email is rapidly becoming one of the major forms of
communication. Browsers spew forth information on any subject instantaneously.
Google is trying to $400 per share, and Wall Street hated it at $80- Remember,
they reduced the initial price considerably and reduced the number of shares.
I don't know about you, but I comparison
shop for almost everything except food on the internet.
With all this added use comes the
need for expanded hard wiring and wireless infrastructure. NWKI,
under CEO Jeff Hultman, has many years of expansion out in front of it.
When WiMax hits the market, hot spots will span 5 miles instead of 100
feet.
Look for Hultman to continue on the
same path in 2006. The Spectrum and Kelley were done at about 1 times sales.
Paid for in newly issued, restricted stock. Hultman knows that if the entire
entity turns profitable, any kind of decent market environment for technology
will yield a stock trading at 4 to 5 times sales in market value.
With the two recent acquisitions,
NWKI
now
has about 49 million shares I&O. Based on Friday's closing print of
$.80, the market is now placing a value of $39 million on the entire company.
With $22 million already on the books for 2006, and three growing entities
under the same roof, the stock price has simply got to improve at some
point in the future.
Our crack technical team sees $1.96
at some point in the future as the stock is probably destined to complete
a 61.8% retracement of the old highs. Do the math.
Here is the complete text of Friday's
news for your review:

Network Installation
Acquires Spectrum Communications; Increases 2005 Revenue Run Rate to $22
Million
Friday November 4, 4:08
pm ET
IRVINE, Calif., Nov.
4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Network Installation Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board:
NWKI - News), today announced that it has acquired 100% of the outstanding
shares of Spectrum Communications Cabling Services, Inc., a complete solution
network service firm which provides network design, installation and maintenance
of voice and data network systems. Spectrum shareholders received 18,567,639
shares of Network Installation common stock in the exchange. Based on Spectrum's
un-audited revenue of approximately $12 million through October of 2005,
and Network Installation's recent acquisition of Kelley Technologies, the
Company's combined annual revenue run rate for 2005 is expected to be approximately
$22 million.
Network Installation
CEO Jeffrey R. Hultman stated, "With our recent acquisition of Kelley Technologies
and now with the acquisition of Spectrum, we've achieved two significant
milestones within just the past 45 days. In acquiring Spectrum, we've not
only added another tremendous, high growth component, but we have further
enhanced our senior management team with the addition of Spectrum founder
Robert Rivera. In my prior positions as CEO at both Pac Tel Cellular and
Dial Page, we were able to quickly and efficiently achieve significant
scale due to the superior personnel we had assembled. I aim to continue
following that same strategy once again with Network Installation."
Spectrum President Robert
Rivera commented, "I consider this a terrific opportunity to team up with
Jeff and become an integral part of the Network Installation organization.
I believe Spectrum's core competencies blend seamlessly with Network Installation
and Kelley Technologies. With our industry experiencing record growth,
it is certainly within our collective capabilities to achieve the critical
mass and scale consistent with Jeff's strategy. I look forward to hitting
the ground running."
