Comments in the BLOG

Remember the last BLOG on SPKL when I called it more of a sell than a buy? It was about $1.30 at the time, and I was wrong. The Pickle is still powering higher, ignoring any reasonable valuation metrics. People love the food and love the stock. One of the stores was pictured in a segment on The Today Show Monday morning. Check today's BLOG for my comments and a link to the video clip. I have been a seller this week at this lofty valuation. Right now, I believe the stock is going up because it is going up. When it starts going down, the same traders that bought it because it was going up, will sell it because it is going down. We'll have another opportunity.

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) Paints Picasso for Far Higher Levels

Titan has been shaping up into a really nice win for OTC Journal fans. $.85 a year ago, $2 today. You'll never go broke logging those kinds of returns.

I've trotted out the picture I used in the orginal presentation- what does Angelina Jolie have to do with TTGL? Nothing- here's the point- numbers can be sexy for investors. This company is starting to generate Angelina Jolie type sexy numbers.

For those of you who need a refresher course on this story, TTGL used to be primarily in the PCB (printed circuit boards) business. They were not good at making money. For many years, the stock floundered and the company engaged in a number of bone headed toxic financings.

All that changed in the last 18 months with the acquisition of Oblio Telecom. This company sells over 30 million phone cards annually to "first generation" Americans. These are the working class folks in the Southern US who's first language is Spanish. These hard workers send a lot of money back to their families in all parts of Latin America.

So, where you originally had a company doing about $15 million a year in revs and losing money, all of a sudden you have a company challenging $150 million a year in revs and making money. Is it any wonder the stock has been more than a double for us in the last year?

Management decided acquiring profitable companies through leveraged buy outs was a lot of fun. The stock more than doubled, they bought back 1 million shares out of the open market with their positive cash flow, and we were running on all 8 cyclinders. So, why not get a car with 12 cylinders? More like a fleet of cars now.

They went on another buying spree, this time setting their sites higher. Appalachian Oil, boasting over $400 million in annual revenues now falls under the TTGL Umbrella. Then USA Detergent joins the TTGL family. All in the last month. This company is becoming a mini Berkshire Hathaway ala Warren Buffet.

TTGL has closed these two major acquisitions in the last month, but no one has a really good picture of how the company is functioning all inclusive today. Post close, TTGL cleared up the picture, and now investors will have a much better idea.

Here's the scoop- TTGL is now a company that feels it can deliver $747 million in fiscal '08 (starting December 1, 2007). Furthermore, the company is forecasting earnings in the $15 to $17.5 million range, which equates to EPS of $.24 to $.28. This is up from a company annuallizing at $150 million in revs prior to the last two acquisitions.

My expectations- there will, of course, be a bunch of non cash funny money derivative charges to earnings. However- the most important part of the company's financial condition- cash flow- will be very robust. In short, they will be taking in a lot more money than they are spending, which should lead to a much higher stock valuation at some point in the future.

Here's the chart, and here's what I find interesting about it. I believe stocks often have personalities- like people, there are patterns or behaviors that repeat themselves.

Throughout the first half of 2007 TTGL butted up against $1.40 three times without getting through convincingly. Each time the stock was rebuffed and disappointed shareholders. Once it finally broke through, it scampered up to $2.20 in pretty short order.

As you can see from the chart, the stock has now butted up against $2.20 three times. What's going to happen when it tries for the 4th time? I don't know for sure, but if history repeats itself it could break out.

I believe this stock could easily be headed for $4. The company has already applied for a NASDAQ listing, and might very well achieve the upgrade sometime in 2008. 

To date, we needed a little patience to achieve more than a double in the first year of coverage. The second year could very well be much better.

Here is the complete text of today's news for your review, and it gives you great deal of information about the status of the company:

Titan Global Holdings Issues Record Earnings Guidance for Fiscal 2008

Wednesday October 17, 4:01 pm ET

Company Forecasts Significant Earnings Increase of Approximately $15 Million to $17 Million or $0.24 to $0.28 Per Share for Fiscal 2008

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Titan Global Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:TTGL - News), a high growth diversified holding company, has released initial earnings guidance for fiscal year 2008 in the range of $15 million to $17.5 million, or $.24 to $.28 per diluted share. The record projected earnings growth is a direct result of the Company's aggressive acquisition strategy and high-growth business model that has recently resulted in the acquisition of Appalachian Oil Company and USA Detergents, as well as the launches of Titan Global Energy, Titan Global Brands and Titan Card Services in fiscal 2007.

This earnings guidance excludes the impact of any additional strategic acquisitions and development stage organic initiatives at Titan's units. The projected operating earnings exclude expenses and income related to the valuation of derivative financial instruments such as stock warrants and convertible debt instruments.

In addition, Titan has revised its previously issued revenue guidance of $747 million for fiscal year 2008, based on material developments since the previous guidance. As a result, the Company announced that revised revenue guidance for fiscal year 2008 will be in the range of $735 million to $747 million.

Contributing to the increase in fiscal year 2008 revenue, Titan Wireless recently completed a large distribution agreement with a national retail chain that will enhance its fiscal year 2008 revenue.

Contributing to a decrease in fiscal year 2008 revenue were delays in the recent closings of Titan's acquisition of Appalachian Oil Company and USA Detergents, and the retail launch of Titan Card Services.

"Titan is poised for unprecedented revenue and earnings growth in fiscal 2008," said Bryan Chance, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Global Holdings. "We are very focused on integrating and growing our newly formed Titan Energy Group and Total Global Brands. As we integrate these operations, we expect to leverage synergistic growth initiatives that will enhance Titan's shareholder value. As well, we are focused on improving our balance sheet and completing opportunistic acquisitions for the value-added benefit of our shareholders."

Titan Global Energy - Projected Revenues: $433 Million

Titan recently formed Titan Global Energy (Titan Energy), a division engaged in the acquisition and management of complementary energy sector assets. Titan Energy has and will capitalize on earnings opportunities within the energy sector. Titan Energy will aggregate energy assets which can provide significant opportunities for revenue and earnings growth.

Titan Energy recently acquired the outstanding stock of Appalachian Oil Company ("Appco"), a company that owns and operates an extensive petroleum product distribution network that generated approximately $400 million in revenues for fiscal 2006. Appco distributes petroleum products to more than 160 dealers in the southeastern United States and owns and operates 56 convenience store locations. Appco has more than 550 employees and maintains long standing partnerships with strategic terminal operators and major oil companies.

"Appco provides an ideal platform from which to make significant additional acquisitions," said Mr. Chance. "The revenue forecast for this division is based upon the status of Appco's current operations and market conditions within the energy sector. Titan continues to work diligently with its supplier partners to introduce biofuels and other products to maintain a position of leadership in the markets that we serve."

Revenue Projections by Division

Titan Communications: Projected Revenue $174 Million

Titan's Communications division is comprised of Oblio Telecom (distribution), StartTalk (international network operations), Titan Wireless (wireless operations) and Pinless (e-commerce applications). The integration of these units positions the Company to continue its accelerated growth in fiscal 2008 with rapid delivery of new products and more efficient call termination options. Including recent agreements, Titan's Communication Division increased its distribution channels to over 71,000 retail outlets. The Communications Division generated $89 million in revenues in 2006 and generated over $80 million in revenues for the nine months ended May 31, 2007.

"Our Communications Division continues to show solid year-over-year growth that we believe will continue to be one of Titan's main drivers of shareholder value," said Kurt Jensen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Titan Communications and Card Services. "Our recent settlement with AT&T will have a positive impact on fiscal year 2008 as will our organic growth and strategic initiatives to expand our market share and build our brand equity."

Titan Global Brands: Projected Revenue $53-65 Million

This week Titan completed the acquisition of 80% of the outstanding stock of USA Detergents, Inc. (USAD). Of the remaining shares, Church & Dwight owns 7.5% and the remaining 12.5% is controlled by the existing senior management of the reorganized USAD.

"We view USAD as a compelling acquisition for Titan with significant and immediate opportunities for revenue and earnings growth," said Frank Orlando, President and Chief Executive Officer of USA Detergents, Inc. "Our USAD management team is working closely with Titan's senior management team to exploit USAD's opportunities. Additionally, we will leverage synergies with Titan's existing distribution, products and services to immediately increase USAD's revenue streams and margins."

Titan Card Services: Projected Revenue $45 Million

Titan recently announced the formation of Titan Card Services, Inc., to capitalize on the burgeoning multibillion dollar international prepaid money transfer sector. The launch of Card Services further validates the Company's high-growth business model and provides a seamless brand extension for Titan's growing family of prepaid products, currently sold through a nationwide network of more than 71,000 retailers.

Given Titan's familiarity with the prepaid sector and the specific needs of its core demographic customer base, which includes first and second generation Americans, the Company's senior management identified a significant need in this growing market to transfer funds internationally. Titan anticipates that its branded Guardian(TM) prepaid calling card products will be on retail shelves in January 2008.

"We expect to leverage our trusted position and brands with first and second generation Americans to expand our offerings into money transfer services, under our Guardian family of products," said Mr. Jensen. "With our creative and user-friendly approach and our established distribution network of more than 71,000 retail locations serving this burgeoning demographic segment, we expect high operating margins and rapid consumer acceptance of these products."

Titan Electronics and Homeland Security: Projected Revenues $30 Million

Titan's Electronics and Homeland Security Division includes Titan PCB East, Inc. and Titan PCB West, Inc. These companies specialize in the manufacturing of advanced circuit boards and other high technology products for military and high-tech clients. Titan has announced that this division will realize this record performance through continued efforts to increase its market share in the quick-turn market through its innovative "rep-centric" sales organization. Additionally, the division expects to grow its valued military spec business as well.

"We closed our fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007 with great momentum," said Curtis Okumura, President of Titan's Electronics and Homeland Security Division. "In fiscal 2008 we will reap the rewards of Mike Kadlec and Saul Kennedy's efforts to redefine our sales approach and geographic reach this past year. We have successfully broadened geographic diversity in our customer base extensively and we are not as dependent on specific geographic areas or sectors. Our team looks forward to producing significant shareholder returns in fiscal year 2008."

Closing Comments

Mr. Chance added: "We enter fiscal 2008 with great focus by our management team and tremendous support from our strategic equity and finance partners. I look forward to reporting Titan's continued progress and growth during fiscal 2008 and beyond."
