XML Global Technologies (OTC BB: XMLG)-
Risk of Owning Stock Down Considerably With Today's Announcement
|
|
After several months of nothing but
tough sledding and eroding values, the OTC Journal can finally report
something is down, and it's good news. What's down?- The Risk!!!!!!!
In short, the news out of XML Global today will be welcome to shareholders
who have hung in there and could yield profits for investors who had the
courage to roll the dice while the stock was at the bottom.
Here is an excerpt from our April
20th edition, where we asked members to consider the turn around potential
of this stock:
|
Risk
XML Global is running low on money.
Investors anticipated the company would complete an equity financing back
in January when the stock was much stronger.
It didn't happen, and this has been
a major factor in the pullback of the stock. In fact, based on the December
quarterly financial statement and direct discussions with management, we
believe the company will run out of capital early this summer if additional
financing does not materialize. Therefore, if you are considering investing
in this stock, you should be prepared for the possibility that you could
lose 100% of your money. |
Based on today's news, we can now
formally withdraw our viewpoint that you should be prepared for the possibility
you could lose all your money in the short term.
Today, just after the market closed,
XML
Global Technologies announced they would be receiving a significant
injection of capital, and its coming in the best way possible- From sales
of their product instead of an equity financing which would have been dilutive
to shareholders.
 |
Software
Vendor Makes Major Commitment |
 |
One of XML Global's major
vendors signed a multi year expanded contract which includes a cash payment
of $500,000, and a minimum additional $250,000
in payments throughout the remainder of this year which satisfies XML's
immediate need for cash. The name of the company has been witheld for competitive
market purposes.
Since there are no cost of goods
associated with the purchase, 100% of the capital can flow directly to
XML
Global's operations, which could be stretched to finance the company's
needs through the remainder of this year.
With formally anemic revenues finally
beginning to ramp up to about $150,000 per month, this contract assures
XML
Global could enjoy revenues in the range of about $2 million
for the second half of the year. This is nearly 300% better than
the run rate they experienced in 2001. This one contract alone triples
revenues in the first quarter.
In addition, overhead has been reduced
from cutbacks earlier this year. The company has decided to focus most
of its efforts on its XML Transformation products where demand is finally
surfacing, allowing it to cut its overhead in other areas.
As is evident in the chart, this
stock is trading at the absolute bottom of its trading range. In fact,
we believe this stock is priced for corporate failure. Today's announcement
buys the company a lot more time to ramp up sales, and extends shareholders'
potential for profits at least through the end of this year.
The support/resistance lines suggest
the stock is entitled to rebound to the middle of its trading range, which
would put it in the $.30 to $.40 range. Also, without substantial dilution,
we believe the stock still has the potential to rebound to the $1 range
with more announcements of this magnitude and improving market conditions.

Upside
Potential |
 |
When we originally looked at XML
Global Technologies in early 2001, we believed the company would be
able to generate $10 million in annual revenues by 2002. No one could have
imagined that IT spending by large corporations would come to a virtual
stand still for 18 months.
However, we always felt XML Global
would
eventually enjoy success because adoption of their products saves companies
money in the long run. Their software acts as a universal translator which
allows the massive computer systems at different organizations to communicate
with each other efficiently. Many thought this new language would end up
being the Holy Grail of B to B software before they knew we would be in
a full blown depression in the B to B space.
Adding to the newly revived upside
potential in this stock is the recent revelation of XML 's association
with Sun Microsystems (NASDAQ: SUNW). In a press release issued by Sun
today, XML Global is featured as a "Leading system integrators and strategic
ISVs that support the Sun ONE platform vision". Click
Here to read the press release.
There are early signs this market
is finally turning up, and the fortunes of XML Global should turn
up with it. If this agreement leads to many of this magnitude, you will
eventually make a substantial return from these levels. This announcement
gives us the luxury of being long term investors in this stock from today's
levels. With the stock at $.15, odds are we go higher from here.

Special
Announcement- Trading
Alert Coming Friday Just After the Close |
 |
We had a lot of positive comments
about our last Trading
Alert on Calypte
Biomed (OTC BB: CALY). Many stocks are trading at nearly risk free
entry levels, and positive fundamental developments are occurring every
day at young companies. This stock is still trading above our recommended
entry point.
We continued to be very positive
about the Medical Device group, where fundamental breakthroughs
are occurring regularly. If everything goes according to plan, next Friday
you will be reading about an unknown medical device company with a unique
FDA Approval, burgeoning order flow, and serious demand thanks to new government
regulations.
Stand by for an exciting story at
the end of next week.
