Report for Fall, 2005: |
|
|||||||||
| Looking back at our 3 wild card picks for the summer, here's
how we did… Pick #1, RAE Systems Sept. $5 calls trading at 30 cents
ask when we did our report, climbed as high as 50 cents and then cratered
when the 10Q came out. Great products, but RAE management and sales
team just can't seem to aggressively go after their market… Pick #2,
OSFT (now NNGY) delivered for us big time going all the way from .0009,
at the time of our report, to a high of .013 before doing a reverse
split and becoming Nanergy, Inc. That's a gain of over 1300%... Pick
#3, Dime Bancorp Litigation Tracking Warrants (NasdaqNM: DIMEZ) was
trading at 14 cents when we wrote our report and climbed as high as
25 cents in the following months. The case has yet to go to trial. The
actual lawsuit seeks $650 million dollars. If the court were to award
the full amount being sought, given taxes, the upper limit on the valuation
of the DIMEZ warrants would be about $3.00 …
Stockprowler picks 4 speculations for the Fall...
Braintech, Inc. - OTCBB: BRHI "It's very expensive for a company to have to
set up a factory line so that parts are presented in the exact same
position to a robot over time. A non-vision-enabled robot will crash
or miss if it goes for a part and comes up empty, resulting in a costly
and time-consuming line shutdown," stated Dion Spurr, engineering
manager for the robot automation group of ABB U.S. The camera in a vision-enabled robot lets the robot
see the position of a loose or moving part and adjust itself accordingly
to manipulate it. The system calculates a component's position on
the fly, grasps it, inspects it, and moves it to where it needs to
go. On September 26, Braintech, Inc. announced it has invented a novel approach to visually tracking moving parts such as those transported on conveyors. The new technology, called SCTrac(TM), (patent pending) uses one or more cameras to image a given part in real time and provides an industrial robot with a continuous stream of data about where the part is, how fast and in what direction it is moving. The innovative TrueView(TM) MovingLine system featuring ABB's IRC5 controller integrated with Braintech's eVF software platform, Braintech's SC3D guidance technology and the SCTrac tracking technology was co-demonstrated by Braintech and ABB at International Robots & Vision Show September 27-29.
Commenting on the SCTrac Babak Habibi, COO of Braintech and co-inventor says, "I view the SCTrac technology as a breakthrough in this field since it overcomes several key issues that have kept these systems limited to the academic world. The technology is an important enabler for a number of new and exciting applications we've seen in manufacturing such as the possibility of eliminating stop stations. Currently, parts have to come to a stop for robots to operate on them, which is clearly not very efficient. SCTrac makes it possible for robots to work on parts while in motion, significantly improving production throughput. Other interesting applications of the technology include dynamic materials handling, assembly or measurement where the objects of interest are in motion during the robotic process."
Jerry Osborn, Vice
President and General Manager, ABB Robot Automation commented, "Braintech
continues to deliver technologies important to us and to our customers.
With SCTrac, we can now offer our customers with continuous moving
lines, highly accurate, vision-guided systems similar to benefits
being realized in plants utilizing stop stations. As a result the
market for TrueView continues to expand."
Wild Card Pick #2
Recently, Electronic Sensor Technology, Inc. announced that it has been awarded an order from Sound and Optics International, Inc., a New Jersey distributor, valued at more than $3 million, for the Company's zNose®, an electronic sensor device that can capture and analyze nearly any odor, fragrance, or chemical vapor within ten seconds. The devices are expected to be used by United Kingdom-based International Security Systems, Ltd. for security applications.
Matthew S. Collier, Chief Executive Officer of Electronic Sensor Technology. "In just the past two weeks, we have announced purchases for the zNose for use in three countries. We believe the strong demand for the device represents the growing need of companies internationally for innovative security solutions. The zNose utilizes state-of-the-art technology to detect and analyze odors or chemicals in a matter of seconds, making it an integral part of any security platform."
Additional
information about how the zNose® can be used as a chemical tool for
security applications can be obtained by downloading the following

Wild Card Pick #3 Triangle Multi-Media Limited, Inc. - OTC: QBID QBID is the stock recommended to us by a Stockprowler contributor, Mike Blais, almost 2 years ago when it was trading at $0.0001 …At the time, I personally told Mike that his investment of $100 for 1 million shares of QBID was like taking $100 and throwing it out the window. Well, about 2 months later, Mike cashed in his 1 million shares of QBID for $21,000!!! Sounds unbelievable, but it is a true story. Anyway, looks like history is getting ready to repeat itself. Triangle Multi-Media Limited, Inc. (OTC:QBID), for those that don't know, is the premium television network organized to create, develop and feature television programming for the gay and lesbian community, including live & interactive content every weeknight, plus sports, information and entertainment. While the company expects much of its subscriber base to be comprised of members of the gay and lesbian population, management also believes that quality programming about the gay and lesbian experience, designed to entertain, educate and inform, will attract many other segments of the viewing public. The network is telecast 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Providing distribution via satellite ensures availability of the network across the United States, including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
Consider this:
These financial instruments are termed warrants, but in fact, are more akin to rights. They offer the buyer an opportunity to receive common stock if a particular event not related to price of the common stock occurs. There is no exercise price, nor is there a definitive expiration date... the warrants expire shortly after litigation has been concluded. The warrants offer purchasers the opportunity to receive 85% of a settlement after taxes and lawyers fees have been taken out. Washington Mutual bought out Dime Bancorp several years ago and inherited Dime Bancorp's lawsuit. Thus, the warrants trade as DIMEZ, although the underlying stock for the warrants is Washington Mutual (NYSE:WM).
The number of shares of Washington Mutual that a holder of the DIMEZ warrants is entitled to after settlement of the litigation is difficult to determine and is dependent on several variables. The actual lawsuit seeks $650 million dollars. If the court were to award the full amount being sought, given taxes, the upper limit on the valuation of the DIMEZ warrants would be about $3.00
History - The lawsuit was filed against the United States government way back in January of 1995 by Anchor Bancorp, which later merged with Dime Bancorp. Between 1982 and 1985, Anchor acquired 8 failing savings and loan operations. Four of the acquisitions involved financial assistance from the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC). Liabilities in these transactions exceeded assets by $650 million. Anchor alleged that FSLIC agreed that this sum could be recorded as goodwill, and that Anchor would not have made the acquisitions if this had not been the case.
Enacted in 1989, the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act required that the aforementioned goodwill be eliminated immediately. The company argues that this action placed severe restrictions on its activities and forced the company to sell valuable assets under liquidation-like circumstances.This case is expected to be argued in court in 2005.
Well, all right, that's it for now… place your bets, sit back and relax. Remember, this is speculation not investing and quite often we get rewarded BIG for taking a chance…
Stockprowler.com does not receive compensation from companies we profile or from third parties... we never have and never will. We use our own money when we buy stocks, and even though we usually take a position in a stock before we profile a company, our purchases are small relative to the public float so that the effect on the stock price when we buy or sell is minimal. Please read our full disclaimer.
Also, contrary to a commonly held belief, Stockprowler does not have access to insider information, nor do we want to because trading on insider information is illegal! All information contained in our reports is available in the public record... and any written or verbal communication with company CEOs/IR people strictly adheres to this rule. Readers are urged to read the company SEC filings and do their own due diligence before investing in this or any other stock.
Good Trading... Stockprowler |
