Superclick updates Q3 business. According to a CNBC poll, 94 percent of respondents couldn't care less about political conventions. Shame, really, given the challenges that the US faces. If all the conventions do is focus the electorate on these challenges--specifically the economic ones--these partisan love-fests will have proved their value. Interest rate cuts are over--that's the bad news--but given the state of the debt picture, investors can remain relatively confident that rates likely won't rise precipitously. With total debt--from federal to household--approaching $40 trillion, anything but small, measured rate rises would be disastrous. In twenty years that total debt figure has risen roughly 146 percent--adding $15 trillion in the last half decade alone. Since 2000, household debt alone has risen 36 percent or almost $3 trillion. That's nasty. Livin', and the credit was easy. Tax cuts are likely over as well. Kerry would reverse the Bush cuts, probably raise taxes and, given the state of the debt and deficits, Bush may have to as well. Again, if all we get is a solid economic plan out of these conventions, they will have been worthwhile. At this point, I don't actually care who wins--well I do, but it's not about me--I just want some concrete actions, not just lame proposals that will won't quickly reverse the carnage of the last few years. I understand the geo-political and economic challenges addressed over the recent past, but doesn't prudence dictate that both governments and individuals take decisive action? Of course it does. Debt has become a black hole for all the constituents and needs to be dealt with and reversed before it becomes unmanageable--if it hasn't already. It's darkest just before it goes completely (into) black. Though oft accused of being acerbic, even cynical, my experience tells me that all of these economic impediments will be mitigated or dealt with eventually. Hopefully over the next couple of months as Kerry and Bush delineate their respective plans, the light at the end of the tunnel will look less like a hurtling freight train. My contrarian's heart is actually quite excited at the prospects for the market over the next few months. When the market weakened a few months ago, the economy was cruising along nicely. The market, then, foretold of the perceived economic weakness we are now experiencing. The continued weakness likely portends that we aren't out of the woods yet, but as the summer wanes, I believe markets will see beyond the current malaise and share prices will improve, as usual, when we least expect it. Markets always tend to go lower than we would like  and higher than we predict. When things economic are at their most ugly the patient, risk-oriented investor invariably makes more money over time than those who wait for the relative safety of benign or improving statistics. And I don't need to tell you how appealing prices are becoming, especially smallcap names.   Super-Clicks... Case in point: Superclick (OTCBB: SPCK), which has experienced the same weakness recently as just about every stock from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) on down. After hitting $1.05 in June, the shares succumbed, as has the rest of the market and drifted down to the 65-cent level. We mentioned previously that the shares should be accumulated on any pullbacks and feel that this level certainly qualifies as a point at which to add to or initiate positions. The press release below details the significant progress the company has made in it's third quarter (ending July 31st) in attracting, installing and growing its customer base. As stated in our June 25th piece, the company has given guidance that it intends to do and hopefully exceed $2 million in revenue for FY 2004. During its third quarter, the company not only added several significant brand-name hotel properties to its client list, but also increased its installed room base and properties installed base by 45 and 40 percent respectively. Investors would be well advised to look beyond the current market weakness and consider the significant gains in both customers and market share that this cutting edge technology company has managed to sew up. We feel that Superclick will have little trouble meeting or exceeding its stated goal of installations in 150 properties, globally, by the end of 2004. The deal with Verizon has bitten and hopefully updated numbers as to the form and effect of this relationship--as well as others--will be further delineated when the quarterly numbers are released in mid-August. Now a diversified Internet access provider to hospitality properties, Multiple Tenant Units (MTU) and commercial institutions, globally, Superclick came out of nowhere less than a year ago. Already, it has developed significant partnerships--including Verizon--and has put both a management team in place and significant business on the books; from a standing start to potentially $2 million in revenue in its first year. And, unlike the Federal Government and most of us, Superclick has sufficient cash to fund itself, no current financing plans and no debt. Wish I could be in that kind of shape.   Press Release SUPERLCLICK ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER BUSINESS UPDATE LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., July 26, 2004 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- Superclick, Inc.
