To
OTC Journal Members:
There won't be an edition this weekend.
I have to do some Christmas shopping myself, and the support staff will
all be gone. Many thanks for your generally positive comments and positive
suggestions on the audio interview with Mike Novielli of NetWork Installation.
I intend to do many more of these interviews, but time is running short
before year's end. There will be a number of them in January. Before the
end of the year I will publish one recap edition with my wrap up thoughts
on every company I covered in 2003.

Network Installation
(OTC BB: NWIS) Delivers 12th New Contract |
|
Today, just after the market closed,
NetWork
Installation delivered an announcement of the 12th new contract it
has received since the first of September.
The December
6th interview in the OTC Journal with Chairman Mike Novielli
was quiet revealing. I am more excited about this company than ever. The
company has established a corporate performance pattern of increasing sales
and decreasing losses. NWIS has now announced 12 new contracts
since the beginning of September. The stock has appreciated nicely over
time. Shareholders are becoming more loyal as the company continues delivering
results.
As I learned in the interview, the
projected growth for their market segment is far more prolific than I realized.
It is currently estimated that 30 million business travelers carry laptops.
However, estimates for the number of laptops that connect to the internet
wirelessly is only about 2 million, leaving growth potential of 28 million
existing laptop users.
By 2005 laptop usage is expected
to double to 60 million users. That leaves 58 million laptops that could
potentially want wireless internet access between now and 2005.
Industry experts predict the number
of active wireless devices needing internet access will increase to about
20 million by 2006. Therefore, the need for wireless internet access is
expected to grow 10 fold over the next three years. The demand
for wireless internet access is skyrocketing.
I did a little research on my own
today, and came up with the following news of recent wireless infrastructure
build outs:
-
The Lehigh International Airport in
Pennsylvania is adding Wi-Fi internet access.
-
The McNamara Airport in Detroit in adding
Wi-Fi access.
-
LaQuinta Inn and Suites is installing
ethernet access in all its rooms and free Wi-Fi access in the common areas
on 70 properties throughout the United States.
-
Wi-Fi internet access is going to become
available to 51,000 residents in Cerritos, California which was one of
the early test cities for Ricochet's wireless broadband internet access.
Ricochet subsequently went bankrupt.
There were about fifteen other new
installations listed in the report I came across, many International in
nature.
The point is- wireless internet access
is booming, and the infrastructure build out is in its infancy.
As you can see from the chart, NWIS
has been a fairly "stress free" microcap to own since September. The stock
finally had a slight pullback when it hit the $3.70 level, but no
serious drop has given courageous buyers a bargain basement entry point.
I believe the chart is going to continue
to look much the same for the next three to six months. The company is
growing. Revenues are increasing, demand is increasing, and losses are
decreasing.
I have been recommending accumulating
this stock at $3.50 or less. Unfortunately, the stock has not provided
a seasonal Santa pullback.
The company announced a new contract
with UCLA today after the market closed. As I stated earlier, I
believe this is the 12th new contract the company has announced since the
beginning of September. As you can see from the chart, the corporate performance
is being reflected in price appreciation.
Coupling the right industry group
with a few new and larger projects next year should put the stock at much
higher levels. I believe $7 to $8 could be in the cards in 2004 if the
company's current path accelerates.
Therefore, I believe investors should
be willing to accumulate up to $4 at this point, as the potential return
makes it worth the risk.
