There should be smiles all the way
around today as a couple of OTC Journal followings are enjoying
a strong day, and another will probably have a strong day tomorrow. eFoodSafety
(OTC BB: EFSF) is enjoying a strong volume rebound today off the vote
of confidence the company received from debt holders. They have converted
their debt into common, restricted stock at $.55 per share, with the stock
trading at $.40. It's the same as buying 2.7 million restricted shares
at $.55. Clearly, someone believes. Perhaps you should also. Read the BLOG
for my comments.
PhotoChannel (OTC BB: PNWIF)
is breaking out as well today in sympathy with News Corp's now pending
acquisition of free storage site PhotoBucket for an estimated $250
to $300 million. Investors simply cannot get enough of companies in
this space, and PNWIF is breaking out after a couple of quiet months.
Read today's BLOGs on both these events for my thoughts.
The BLOG is your opportunity
to ask questions and offer comments. I will make an effort to answer every
legitimate question. If I don't know the answer, I will contact the management
and get the answer. Alternatively, if you have questions you don't want
publicly displayed, you can always email me directly at editor@otcjournal.com.

Titan Global
(OTC BB: TTGL) Puts Money Where Mouth Is |
|
Titan has been a source of
frustration for many of us over the last couple of months. Let's face it,
the stock deserves to be much higher based on corporate performance. In
the long run, corporate performance always leads to higher stock prices.
However, the supply/demand dynamic in the short term can sabotage a stock's
efforts to make new highs, and that has been the case with TTGL.
This past week the stock swooned
for no apparent reason- there were no buyers around, and someone wanted
to sell a bunch. If you read my BLOG, you know I pointed out that
TTGL
had traded down to the SSL level, and it was time to decide if you wanted
to hang around for the longer term. I also suggested the stock would probably
rebound in short order, and it managed to do so.
Today, post close, TTGL cast
a rather substantial vote for itself by announcing a stock buy back plan.
TTGL
announced the Board of Directors have announced the approval of a 4 million
share buy back in the open market. Any shares that are bought will be retired,
and reduce the number of shares I&O.
Based on the volume this stock trades,
a 4 million share buy back would have a substantial impact on the market
price. If you're wondering about how companies can actually buy back their
shares, CEO Bryan Chance gives us a look at the regulatory restrictions:
"Pursuant
to SEC regulations 10b-18, the maximum price Titan can pay per share is
the greater of the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction
price quoted or reported; as for the daily quantity of shares purchased,
the daily limit is 25% of the average daily volume for the preceding four
week period. Finally, once per week, Titan can forego the quantity
limit defined above and make one block purchase of an unlimited size up
to the unfilled balance of its approved buy back plan. A block is defined
as a purchase price of $200,000 or more or at least 5,000 shares and a
price of at least $50,000, or at least 20 round lots that totals 150% or
more of the trading volume."
So, if you were wondering how it
can be done- there's your answer. Does the company have to buy them back?
No. When do we find out how many shares they have bought back? When they
do their quarterly and annual financial filings.
Today's chart gives you a long term
perspective on the price movement. Looking at the whole picture, last week's
swoon wasn't much more than a 38.2% retracement from the '06 lows. It was
some kind of capitulation move, and hopefully sets the stock up to move
higher.
Dear TTGL management- please
go ahead and buy 4 million shares in the open market as soon as feasible.
My readers who like this stock would very much appreciate you mopping up
the supply side of this mess and chart.
Here is the complete text of today's
news for your review:

Titan Global Holdings
Announces Commencement of 4 Million Share Open Market Buyback Plan
Wednesday May 9, 4:01
pm ET
Board of Directors Cite Attractive
Share Price and Company's Improving Fundamentals for Plan to Decrease Share
Supply
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Titan
Global Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:TTGL - News), a high-growth diversified holding
company, announced today that the Company's Board of Directors have commenced
an approved 4 million share open market buyback plan. The Board cited its
attractive share price, as well as reported record financial revenue results
and strategic progress from its various business units in making this decision.
As of today, Titan has
49,129,052 shares of common stock outstanding. As of May 4, 2007, management,
directors, and strategic investors of Titan already owned or controlled
in excess of approximately 75% of the common stock issued and outstanding
shares.
"Titan's management,
directors, and strategic investors continue to view our share price as
a compelling value proposition," said David Marks, Chairman of Titan Global
Holdings. "Therefore, from time to time, these parties, including Titan,
have and may make additional open market purchases consistent with SEC
rules."
In a private transaction,
Titan previously announced its re-purchase on December 29, 2006 of 1,250,000
from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. As of April 30, 2007, Titan had in excess
of 2,000 shareholders. On May 4, 2007, Titan's stock closed at $1.14 per
share. Titan's stock reached its 52 week high of $1.49 per share on March
8, 2007.
"Titan's metrics have
been exceptional with sequential quarterly increases in revenues, EBITDA
and earnings," said Bryan Chance, Chief Executive Officer of Titan Global
Holdings. "We intend to take advantage of this attractive share price,
which is currently trading at approximately 23.5% lower than our 52-week
high. As such, Titan may from time to time continue such purchases with
the resulting decrease in the Company's float."
Pursuant to SEC regulations
10b-18, the maximum price Titan can pay per share is the greater of the
highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price quoted
or reported; as for the daily quantity of shares purchased, the daily limit
is 25% of the average daily volume for the preceding four week period.
Finally, once per week,
Titan can forego the quantity limit defined above and make one block purchase
of an unlimited size up to the unfilled balance of its approved buyback
plan. A block is defined as a purchase price of $200,000 or more or at
least 5,000 shares and a price of at least $50,000, or at least 20 round
lots that totals 150% or more of the trading volume.
As Titan makes open market
purchases, after settlement, such shares will be cancelled and the shares
outstanding will be reduced. These purchases will be reported in Titan's
Form 10-QSB and Form 10-KSB filed with SEC.
Consistent with Titan's
previously announced policy, in addition to any share ownership disclosure
that is legally required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Titan
will announce from time to time the aggregate ownership of its key management,
directors and strategic investors in an effort to provide complete transparency
to all stockholders.
