Titanium Group
(OTC BB: TTNUF): US Invasion Marches On |
|
Titanium Group- their sector
will become a hot bed for attracting capital and interest from the market
over the next several years. It's all about security; reliable, user friendly,
affordable security for society is a booming industry.
Titanium Group has gotten
traction in the Pacific Rim, and is now focusing its attention on penetrating
the US market. The company's facial recognition software is used by 3.5
million individuals who cross the Hong Kong/China border on a regular basis.
The People's Bank of China uses their solution for identification in the
safety deposit box area. Factories with 10,000 workers use Titanium's
solution in place of time cards- just step into the kiosk, and you have
punched in. No one can punch in for you- this is employee fraud, and it's
a big issue with factories that have 10,000 workers.
Their facial recognition software
solutions have two distinct advantages over competitors 1. The technology
works in any kind of reasonable light (some systems require special lighting),
and 2. Normal everyday camera lenses can be used to capture the images(vs
expensive special lenses required by some systems).
Furthermore, shareholders have the
advantage of owning a profitable and growing company. As you well know
if you have followed the companies I cover, the microcap arena is generally
pregnant with early stage development ideas. Most are losing money. This
company has already moved past the development stage, generates between
$5 and $6 million in annual revenues, and has reported a minimal level
of profitability for some time.
Being profitable doesn't assure the
stock will go up. However, it enhances our chances greatly as we are unlikely
to encounter major excess supplies of stock thanks to dillutive financings.
When you're cash flow positive, you can write your own ticket.
The first news release we had since
launching coverage was Florida based Barr Security's decision to include
the TTNUF software in a security system available for protecting
schools. Pedophilia is a burgeoning problem. The TTNUF facial recognition
software will compare a facial image to the FBI's database of sexual offenders
in seconds. I don't know about you, but I want that technology guarding
the entrance to my 2nd grader's school.
Step 2 for penetrating the US market
came out post close today. TTNUF has signed a letter of intent to
acquire US based Belview Technologies. According to the press release,
Belview
designs and manufactures touch screen monitors, flat panel displays, and
monitors for industrial purposes. The company serves a variety of commercial
markets and industries such as hotels, restaurants, hospitals, schools,
government agencies and financial institutions. They are a systems provider.
TTNUF no doubt plans to offer
their own integrated facial recognition security solution by combining
its expertise along with Belview's. The press releases discloses
Belview is a "Multi Million Dollar Manufacturer". It seems simple- put
hardware and software together and what do you have? A system you can sell.
When I first heard the TTNUF
story, I was excited. I knew the company had made tremendous inroads in
the Asian markets. However, the stock does not trade in Asia. It only trades
on the bulletin board in the US.
Therefore, I knew this stock would
start to attract US investors if they could gain some traction stateside.
So far, so good. In the first two weeks they have been able to announce
the Barr Security deal, and now the acquisition target. Hard numbers and
the terms of the deal were not disclosed yet, no doubt will be forthcoming
as they get closer to closing.
I asked a crack technician to look
at the chart, and here's what he came back with. He believes the stock
could head higher for the following reasons: 1. The stock has been "basing"
or trading sideways in this range for quite some time, and 2. It has camped
on its 38.2% retracement level for some time now, suggesting it could be
ready to surge.
He also points out the MACD line
is above zero. This is not an indicator I look at very often, but some
love it. The MACD is considered by many technicians to be indicative of
what the strong money is doing. Stochastics are used to measure the weak
money. The MACD above zero suggests and imminent break out due to accumulation.
From a common sense point of view
I believe this stock is simply ready to break out, and today's news could
be the trigger. My initial thoughts stand- own today in the $.60 to
$.65 range for a trip to $1. SSL- $.45 for traders. No SSL for long
term investors.
Here is today's news for your review:

Comments in the BLOG
|
There were two new BLOG postings
today. The first covers my thoughts on the recent trading activity in US
Energy (OTC BB: USEI). Last week, the stock behaved quite well- this
week the stock has delivered a low volume retracement. In addition, long
uncovered Callisto Pharmaceuticals (AMEX: KAL) sprung to life, and
there doesn't seem to be any explanation I can uncover. Read the BLOG
entries on both for more information.
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.
To use the BLOG, simply go

Check back frequently for updates particularly when stocks are moving to
overbought or oversold levels in volatile markets.
