There is a new BLOG posting
on NWWV this morning. Inexplicably, the stock has begun trading
the highest volume we have seen in months, and the stock is starting to
grudgingly move up. Someone has come along and wants this stock. I pointed
out in the last BLOG that the stock was so oversold it was due to
rebound. This generation of shareholders will probably make a lot of money
on this one. Read my current comments. In light of record sign ups and
a cash flow positive quarter, there could be a lot more upside here.
To use the BLOG, simply go
to the home page at www.otcjournal.com
- the BLOG will scroll down automatically on the right side of your
screen. The most current journal entries appear in the middle of your screen.
Check back frequently for updates particularly when stocks are moving to
overbought or oversold levels or in volatile markets. Your questions and
postings do not automatically appear, so don't bother posting the same
question multiple times. I personally go through to moderate and respond
to every reasonable question.

TelePlus (OTC
BB: TLPE) Makes New OTC Journal All Time High |
|
TLPE is making a new post
OTC
Journal coverage high as I write today's edition. For those of you
who acted early and own this one from the mid November entry level of $.23-
you are now enjoying a solid 40% return on your invested capital in less
than 2 months. However, in my view, this is just the beginning. This stock
has much greater upside from here, and the market is being driven by real
numbers and real potential for much greater numbers.
TLPE serves the under served
in the telecom market. From basic telecom services to pre paid cellular,
they are making a name for themselves in this arena. If you study how markets
mature, you will understand the scope of what they are doing. Take cellular
for example.
Mobile phones burst on the scene
in the late 80's and came to widespread use in the 90's. At first, cell
phones where nearly brief case size, and used mainly by businesses with
people in the field all day- i.e. construction professional, sales reps,
and the very rich.
As the market matured the networks
were built out, the hardware became smaller and cheaper, and the number
of people using them grew exponentially. Fast forward to today- nearly
everyone carries a cell phone. For the younger set, they have replaced
a stationary set in the home. Therefore, as the market matured, it reached
down into all strata of society and had a much broader scope.
The major carriers have focused all
their customer energy on the "low hanging fruit"- the customers with positive
credit histories and a low risk profile. Hence- the pre paid cell phone.
The major carriers are turning the marketing over to "MVNOs" like Liberty
Wireless. Liberty uses the Sprint network, but obtains
the customers and handles the transactions.
And, of course as many of you know,
TLPE
now owns Liberty Wireless. TLPE bought the company last week.
Liberty
is the third largest reseller for Sprint, but based on today's news
might be moving up in the ranks in 2006.
TLPE has entered into a marketing
arrangement with InPhonic Group (NASADAQ: INPC) to receive all of
its third tier cell service leads. INPC has guaranteed 100,000
leads per month to TLPE. These are individuals with either
poor or no credit history who will get a pre paid cell phone.
TLPE believes if it can convert
10% of the leads, it would equate to 10,000 new subscribers per month ($40
per month), or about $57.6 million in annual revenues. Seem absurd? - not
to me. I'm not saying I believe they can deliver and retain 120,000 new
subscribers this year. However, if they are about 25% right, it is a huge
increase in what already appears to be well in excess of $40 million
in annual sales from other subsidiaries.
So far, TLPE is working out
beautifully. You can see the chart for yourself from mid November when
I first published. The stock is up nearly 50%. One analyst forecasts a
$2
stock based on a reasonable valuation metric. They are borrowing capital
at a favorable rate to execute leveraged buy outs, and they now have an
opportunity in place which could accelerate growth more rapidly than originally
envisioned when I first covered the company. There are no toxic financings
in place to create an market destroying excess supplies.
If you aren't paying attention to
this one, you are missing on whopping profit opportunity. Go to the BLOG
and
post your questions or comments.
Here's the complete text of today's
news.

TelePlus Enterprises, Inc.
TelePlus Signs Agreement
to Receive up to 1.2M Customer Leads per Year for Its Wireless Service
Tuesday January 10, 6:00
am ET
MONTREAL--(MARKET WIRE)--Jan
10, 2006 -- TelePlus Enterprises, Inc. (OTC BB:TLPE.OB - News) (Frankfurt:YT3.F
- News) (http://www.teleplus.ca) ("TelePlus" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, TelePlus Wireless, Corp.
("TelePlus Wireless") has signed a Lead Generation Agreement (the "Agreement")
with the InPhonic Group ("InPhonic") that complements the Company's acquisition
of certain assets of Liberty Wireless, announced last week. The Agreement
states that InPhonic will refer to TelePlus, customers or potential customers
not having qualified under the carriers' credit requirements. Once refused
by the major carriers, these customers have no alternative but to turn
towards prepaid services such as the ones offered by TelePlus. Under the
terms of the Agreement, InPhonic has agreed to refer a minimum of 100,000
leads per month (1.2M leads a year) to TelePlus. In combination with the
newly acquired customer base from Liberty Wireless, the monthly customer
referrals from the Agreement will expand the existing customer base of
TelePlus Wireless in a dramatic fashion. Liberty is currently the 3rd largest
Sprint wireless reseller ("MVNO") on the CDMA network after Virgin Mobile
and Qwest and is in the top 10 prepaid wireless providers in the US.
Assuming a conversion
rate of 10% of leads into active customers, and assuming the new subscribers
generate the same Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) of $40 per month as the
Company's current customers, the customer base of TelePlus would be increased
by 120,000 new subscribers per year and the revenues of the Company would
be increased by $57.6M on an annualized basis. The leads that are generated
under the agreement, typically credit-challenged customers, form the largest
part of the lucrative prepaid segment of the wireless market. The prepaid
segment is presently estimated at $7 billion and, as the fastest growing
segment in the wireless and telecom industry, is predicted by industry
analysts to reach $32 billion by 2008.
"The Lead Generation
Agreement is like icing on the cake for TelePlus Wireless, as it ensures
that the nationwide customer base that we acquired as part of the Liberty
transaction will continue to grow at a breath-taking pace," stated Marius
Silvasan, CEO and Chairman of TelePlus. "Even as a stand-alone initiative,
we could see the benefits of this Agreement translate into increases of
revenue of $57.6M, or even higher, per annum based on our ability to convert
these leads into active customers, and this without taking into account
the effects of organic growth. Of course, TelePlus also intends to aggressively
implement a number of strategic marketing initiatives to accelerate the
growth process and to capitalize on the momentum that we have gained as
a result of the Liberty acquisition," added Silvasan.
