If we ever have two things to feature, then I just have to pick what I see as the most pressing one. Well, I think the fact that I'm including two today speaks very highly of both affected companies.    Stockgroup's Spinning a Bigger Web Talk about a double meaning! I have to say, from my point view, Stockgroup Information Systems (OTCBB: SWEB) looks just plain 'good for investors'......its own shareholders, as well as any individual investors utilizing their services. Why? Their expansion plans are being realized at a very impressive pace, and today's acquisition adds yet another feature that should broaden their appeal to the average retail (little guy) investor. Remember a few weeks ago we were highlighting how the acquisition of TeleCommunication System's Mobile Finance Division was going to open up a world of opportunity for institutional-level business? In a nutshell, the advent of Internet-capable mobile devices like BlackBerry's and Treo's has by default created a new industry - the delivery of financial and investment information via those devices.  While very 'Star Trekkish', it's can also be a little expensive to get that robust data delivered to a hand-held device. Thus, it's mostly feasible for the institutions - who could justify one to two hundred bucks a month per user for the service. The good news for Stockgroup is there are plenty of these upper-level customers.....the Mobile Finance enterprise was doing about $6 million per year- profitably - when Stockgroup bought it.  Well, Stockgroup just brought a retail investor version of the same kind product into the mix, with some retail investor subscribers already in tow. Specifically, Stockgroup today announced the acquisition of Semotus Solutions' (AMEX: DLK) financial wireless data assets. And when we say 'bought', we mean they now own the whole kit and caboodle....current accounts, software code, and intellectual rights.  The software applications developed by Semotus essentially perform the same function as the institutional version - getting financial and investment information to and from the hand-held devices owned by the non-institutional player. The key difference between Mobile Finance's version and the Semotus version is the amount of data transfer required. The Semotus version isn't a 'streaming' application, and therefore doesn't eat up bandwidth...which means it's extremely affordable for any investor.  We see this as a major coup for the company. Revenue will be realized immediately, and, we can't imagine better hands for the Semotus application to be in. Stockgroup was founded on the idea of catering to the average retail investor. Plus, you don't need me to tell you what kind of growth the hand-held device industry has already seen....or is likely to see in the future (industry analysts expect the pace of hand-held sales to increase in the foreseeable future). If anybody can take this ball and run with it, I think Stockgroup can.  More than that, I think the gettin' may be really good right now. After hitting $1.45 in early April, Today's close of $1.17 may be an uncanny bargain. Of course, we also saw a huge rebound once we hit a low of 99 cents, so we doubt we're the only ones thinking that way. Point being, we don't know how long the market's going to let these low entry levels persist. If you're a fan of the company's stock, it may be time to accumulate.  If you're looking for more, be sure to check out the blog.   Titan Puts Money Where Their Mouth Is Though I've seen a lot in this industry, I think there are really only a handful of basic characteristics of top-performing corporations. One of these qualities - in my own layman's terms - is a company that eats its own cooking, so to speak. When a company shows interest in buying back their own stock, they usually see something good down the road.  So, when I read a few moments ago how Titan Global (OTCBB: TTGL) was looking to buy back its stock, you know what I thought. I see this as one of the ultimate internal votes of confidence in an enterprise's value. In other words, I think this could be a really good thing for TTGL shareholders, especially considering they intend to retire the shares they reacquire  There are two key benefits to current and any prospective TTL owners here.  First and foremost, any concerted buying effort is apt to help keep the trading level at least steady, if not going steadily higher (that's kind of what happens when there are more buyers than sellers). Once there are fewer shares, there will also be less dilution of profits.  The second benefit to TTGL holders - and it's a close second - is the message this sends out about Titan's management team and what kind of opportunity they see for their stock. Rather than attempting to disperse the risk of ownership, they're proactively trying to garner it. Why do you think they'd want to that? (And that wasn't rhetorical....read on.) I'll tell you what I think - I think they see the proverbial writing on the wall. Sales are getting stronger, the company turned a profit for the first time last quarter, and the stock is trading well under recent highs. And compared to where shares were trading a month or so ago, these guys seem to sense a value-based opportunity.  Per the plan, Titan seeks to repurchase up to 4 million shares. Now, just because a company says they're going to start a repurchase program doesn't obligate them to. However, I will offer this on Titan's behalf...late last year, they bought back 1.2 million shares from a fund company who provided capital a couple of years ago. So, I don't really doubt the repurchase intent.  One more thing..... as of March of this year, the management, directors, and strategic investors of Titan owned or controlled about 75% of the 48.9 million issued and outstanding common shares. And now they're looking to own more (relatively)? Talk about putting your money where your mouth is! From where I sit, Titan's success seems to be gaining momentum. I'm not sure why shares pulled back a few days ago. Maybe it was just time for a break, and there's a whisper that one of the institutional owners got out of their position. Frankly, it doesn't even matter to me - we set our target at $3.00 based on revenue growth, and our valuation measure hasn't changed by a cent. I see the company's goal of raising per-share value by reducing the number of them as just icing on the cake.  Bottom line - you may not be one of the VP's or on the Board of Directors at Titan, but there's still a big opportunity to sit on the same side of the table with them (and trade with them) at an unbelievable entry level of $1.20. There may be a lot fewer shares up for grabs real soon.  Here's the release.   Titan Global Holdings Announces Commencement of 4 Million Share Open Market Buyback Plan  Board of Directors Cite Attractive Share Price and Company's Improving Fundamentals for Plan to Decrease Share Supply  DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Wednesday May 9, 2007--Titan Global Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB:TTGL), a high-growth diversified holding company, announced today that the Company's Board of Directors have commenced an approved 4 million share open market buyback plan. The Board cited its attractive share price, as well as reported record financial revenue results and strategic progress from its various business units in making this decision.  As of today, Titan has 49,129,052 shares of common stock outstanding. As of May 4, 2007, management, directors, and strategic investors of Titan already owned or controlled in excess of approximately 75% of the common stock issued and outstanding shares.  "Titan's management, directors, and strategic investors continue to view our share price as a compelling value proposition," said David Marks, Chairman of Titan Global Holdings. "Therefore, from time to time, these parties, including Titan, have and may make additional open market purchases consistent with SEC rules."  In a private transaction, Titan previously announced its re-purchase on December 29, 2006 of 1,250,000 from Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. As of April 30, 2007, Titan had in excess of 2,000 shareholders. On May 4, 2007, Titan's stock closed at $1.14 per share. Titan's stock reached its 52 week high of $1.49 per share on March 8, 2007.  "Titan's metrics have been exceptional with sequential quarterly increases in revenues, EBITDA and earnings," said Bryan Chance, Chief Executive Officer of Titan Global Holdings. "We intend to take advantage of this attractive share price, which is currently trading at approximately 23.5% lower than our 52-week high. As such, Titan may from time to time continue such purchases with the resulting decrease in the Company's float."  Pursuant to SEC regulations 10b-18, the maximum price Titan can pay per share is the greater of the highest independent bid or the last independent transaction price quoted or reported; as for the daily quantity of shares purchased, the daily limit is 25% of the average daily volume for the preceding four week period.  Finally, once per week, Titan can forego the quantity limit defined above and make one block purchase of an unlimited size up to the unfilled balance of its approved buyback plan. A block is defined as a purchase price of $200,000 or more or at least 5,000 shares and a price of at least $50,000, or at least 20 round lots that totals 150% or more of the trading volume.  As Titan makes open market purchases, after settlement, such shares will be cancelled and the shares outstanding will be reduced. These purchases will be reported in Titan's Form 10-QSB and Form 10-KSB filed with SEC.  Consistent with Titan's previously announced policy, in addition to any share ownership disclosure that is legally required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Titan will announce from time to time the aggregate ownership of its key management, directors and strategic investors in an effort to provide complete transparency to all stockholders.  About Titan Global Holdings  Titan Global Holdings, Inc.

However, I still found myself compelled to let you know.  Why? Because we covered it as a bulletin board stock back in 2004/2005. And, this stock more than deserves to graduate - it's up nearly 600% since the time when we were studying it.....proof that there is major upside potential brewing here in the world of bulletin board stocks.  Hope you hung on to some of your shares from a few years back.   Is J&J's Loss MIV's Gain? Did anybody else catch Monday's news about Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ)? Trials of one of the company's drug-coated heart stents have been dropped. And they're also discontinuing sales of this CoStar stent, even in countries where it's been approved.  The company has another drug-coated stent already on the market, and says they intend to use that coating to develop a new version of the stent being dropped from R&D. However, it seems to me as if that's a 'back to square one' move.  So what? This may be a boon for MIV Therapeutics (OTCBB: MIVT) and its drug-coated stent....there seems to be one less competitor in the lucrative $6 billion-per-year market.  Even if MIV only gets a fraction of the business J&J had (or was going to get), we're still talking multi-millions here. Click here for the full background on MIV's opportunity, which may have just gotten a whole lot bigger.  And yes, I think this is yet one more reason to own MIVT shares. I like the way the stock has remained scrappy, finding support at the 20 day average line and continuing to push higher. The next milestone I see is the 74 cent mark, where we topped in January and February. A move past that level would be a new multi-month high, and could finally spark the buying interest I feel is due here.  Subscribe Information is power and timely information is profitable.
