We are in a very listless market
right now. The NASDAQ has given back the 300 point gain it enjoyed
from the last 1/2 point surprise rate cut from the FED. Every time
the NASDAQ looks at 2000, it runs back up like a hooked fish
when it first sees the fisherman's boat. Many technicians believe the NASDAQ
needs to trade into the 1900 to 1950 range before it can move on to higher
ground.
Microcaps are drifting down on light
volume, reaching low risk entry points which will seem cheap when the next
volume surge takes them back up. We are entering Earnings Pre-Warning
season, a new 21st century phenomenon created by our litigious
society.
Many fund managers are waiting to
pounce on beaten down technology stocks as they sell off when earnings
warnings are issued. Everyone's buying cheap now, positioning for what
might be one of the most prolific 4th quarters of all time in stocks.
Now would be a great time to review
the trading strategies for accumulating on dips we shared with you in our
May
12th edition. Click
Here, and read the first section.
Two of our featured companies have
been in the news this week, and here's an update for you on both:
 |
XML Global Technologies
(OTC BB: XMLG) Featured in Investor's Business Daily |
|
Thusday, May 12th's edition of the
venerable Investor's Business Daily carried an article in the Internet
& Technology Section, authored by Sarah Z. Sleeper entitled "U.N
Group OKs 'Language' That Could Spur E-Business".
The article mentions that the U.N.'s
group OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information
Standards) has announced the specific International standards for programming
with ebXML.
Long term readers know one of our
featured companies, XML Global Technologies has been developing
programming tools for this new and revolutionary programming language which
is expected to become the new International Standard by which all computer
systems communicate with each other.
XML Global is mentioned in
the article along with Sun Microsystems, IBM, and Oracle. Here are
several excerpts:
-
"With little fanfare, the e-conomy
received what might prove to have been a pretty good jolt." (first
paragraph)
-
"It's backed (ebXML) by a bevy
of tech heavy-hitters. They include Sun Microsystems, Inc., IBM Corp. and
Oracle Corp." (5th
paragraph)
-
"The biggest win is going to be
for the average consumer, said David Weber, as vice president at Vancouver
B.C.- based software firm XML Global Technologies, Inc. EbXML will reduce
costs for companies." (11th
paragraph)
The article goes on to describe recent
international demonstrations of the product where XML Global participated
along with Bea Systems, Commerce One, and Sun Microsystems.
Clearly XML Global Technologies
has placed itself directly in the path on an oncoming tidal wave of new
programming opportunities, and is the David in a team of Goliaths headed
towards the adoption of ebXML.
Rarely are microcap stocks prominently
mentioned in the company of such huge success stories. XML Global
has a tiger by the tail.
The stock has drifted back on
light volume to the $.90 range. You should have a look at it down here.
We are trying to get permission to
reprint the entire article for the benefit of our members. We may have
it in PDF Format by the middle of next week. Stand by for more information.

Investors should note that the company's
sales were up 57% over the same quarter the previous year to $20,430,030.
Real, after tax cash earnings increased 49% to $1,282,121. EPS stays the
same due primarily to non-cash expenses. The accounting standards for these
non-cash expenses are changing this summer to accurately reflect the company's
financial performance.
The editors of the OTC Journal
continue to believe this stock is worth $5 per share US. Yet, it continues
to languish in the high $2 range due to complete lack of sponsorship from
Wall Street. The OTC Journal is the only substantive forum for investment
ideas that follows this company.
Now that the market is turning, management
recognizes it is time to go to Wall Street and present itself to the institutional
community if it ever hopes to create a significant result on behalf of
long suffering shareholders.
Patience should pay off for investors.
Wall Street will eventually discover this company because Wall Street loves
profits again. This is a low risk growth stock to accumulate on dips. Their
history of profitability mitigates many of the risk factors associated
with micro cap investing, and investors will eventually come along that
want this stock.
