SmallCap
Digest Upgrade: Suggested Targets & Stops
Just
when you think the SmallCap Digest couldn't get any better, POW
- it's better, at least in our opinion. At the request of many of our readers,
we're pleased to announce a major enhancement to this site that could potentially
make you more money if you're utilizing our trading ideas. Better still,
we'll put the site's improvement straight into action with the help of
what we feel is some great news from Web2 Corporation (OTCBB:
WBTO). After all, what better way to kick off the use of this new feature
than with a story we think could make the most of the new format?
As
tempting as it to create a cliffhanger, we feel pretty certain you'll want
to read all of today's edition even if we let both cats out of the
bag here and now. So, here goes.....
The SmallCap
Digest will now be suggesting what we think may be ideal price-target areas
and stop levels.
Web2 Corporation's
'ByIndia.com' site is seeing a phenomenal increase in web traffic, and
is reported to now be the fastest growing Indian search engine. Moreover,
Web2 Corporation announced plans yesterday to, as of the beginning of 2007,
offer the site in five additional Indian languages.
Let's
start with the ByIndia.com news before moving on to our thoughts about
the target and stop framework.
The
One-Two Punch
On
Monday and Tuesday, Web2 Corporation posted back-to-back pieces of what
we see as good news.
Monday's
announcement was in regards to the growth rate of ByIndia's traffic. According
to Alexa.com data - an Internet traffic ranking site - the Indian search
engine and social networking site saw web traffic increase by 700% during
its first 30 days of being 'live' in its current format (since the
re-launch date of October 26th). More than that, as of the end of November,
the company says they're the third-most visited Indian search engine
site. We detailed the announcement in a blog entry on Monday, which
can be reviewed in one of the sidebars to the right.
Tuesday's
news may end up even further accelerating the growth reported on Monday.
If all goes as planned, by the beginning of next year, Web2 Corporation
will roll out ByIndia.com in five additional Indian languages. The strategy
can be simplified down to one word - accessibility. The more Internet
users there are that can use the site, the wider the net is cast, so to
speak. And, the company expects this multi-language addition to allow virtually
all
Indian Internet users to utilize the search engine. The full details are
in the press release below.
In
the Internet world, we think success really boils down to one factor -
traffic.
The more traffic you have, the more opportunities you have to sell
products, services, and advertising space. The way we figure it, the rate
at which Web2 Corporation is able to increase the number of eyes looking
at ByIndia.com could ultimately make the site the premier name among Indian
search engines. We think being the best (at anything) makes it considerably
easier to monetize and profit from your product. So, you probably won't
be surprised to hear our positive opinion of the WBTO's potential for shareholders
- we feel it's an outstanding opportunity, especially after we saw
how well the market responded to the recent news.
Our
Big News
Before
any explanation of the new suggested targets and stops can begin, we have
to preface it with some perspective. Above all else, please keep in mind
they
are simply suggestions based on our opinions. Yes, we like to think
they're educated opinions, and we feel our intimate knowledge of our profiled
companies - as well as their stock's trading behaviors - gives us something
of an edge. But, at the end of the day, only you can decide whether
or not what we see also makes sense for you. And, that may well require
you to define exactly what your investing or trading style is. (Refer back
to this recent
Market Wise column for some help in that area.)
Specifically,
we think the new framework may reprise the trader-or-investor question....even
for us. While our website tends to have a longer-term investor bias
(albeit it an aggressive one), we also understand many of our readers may
be making short-term trades using our ideas. Either or both are fine by
us, but we'd be the first to acknowledge the application of targets and
stops may be a better enhancement for the short-term crowd.
Yet,
we don't necessarily think longer-term investors will be left out in the
cold. Some of our suggested targets (and stops) could take a while to reach,
and we feel investors may still be able to use the ideas to find an optimal
entry or exit spot.
Again,
how you choose to utilize any target and stop suggestion will largely depend
on what you're trying to accomplish, your desired holding period, and your
personal risk tolerances. Our ideas may be sound, but you - the individual
investor - will need to determine how or if they apply to you.
For
what it's worth, it's not as if we're implying we even expect our opinions
to always be the right ones (it's true - we don't know everything).
At the risk of sounding a little self-serving, yes, we think we do a pretty
good job at finding good ideas and timing them well. However, a good defense
can be just as important as a good offense. In other words, the stops should
play an equal role with the targets, as even we can't predict the
future with perfection.
Additionally,
the target and stop ideas are subject to change. In fact, we'd be surprised
if they didn't occasionally change. That's just trading. Without a
crystal ball, over time, we expect to make adjustments to our opinions
in an effort to maximize the upside and minimize the downside in an ever-changing
market environment. So, you may want to check back with the site on a regular
basis to see what's changed.
One
last thought, although an important one.....if possible, we encourage
you to avoid actually entering with your broker a specific target or stop
as a 'sell limit' or 'stop-exit' order on any open position. See, some
major traders can literally see the prices you're willing to buy or sell
(exit) at. If that same player sees a bunch of shares of one stock 'for
sale' at a common price, he or she could potentially create just enough
market movement to clear out those open trade orders, then immediately
resume trading in the other direction. A mental-stop strategy may conceal
your entry and exit parameters, and possibly allow you to avoid an untimely
trade. For that matter, we think it's almost as important to recognize
that our suggested targets and stops may sometimes be better treated
as an area or range, rather than a specific dollar figure. As usual,
circumstances will dictate such an interpretation.
With
all of those things in mind, you can already view our current thoughts
on where an appropriate target and stop may be for many of our currently-profiled
companies. Simply look in the left-hand column on any page of our website.
You may notice some of our tracked companies aren't there. That's simply
because we're waiting for what we think might be a better or smarter entry
spot on their respective charts. After all, we still feel timing is
a critically important piece of trading the puzzle.
From
Concept to Application - WBTO's Chart
We've
been monitoring WBTO since the initial profile was released on September
20th. We feel strongly about the company's potential, not just because
of ByIndia's growth, but also because there are three other divisions we
think are just as impressive in their own right. However, for that potential
to materialize in the form of gains, we think other market participants
have to see the same potential. In order to spot the instances when news
may finally be getting traction, we rely heavily on charts.
Well,
based on the volume from Monday and Tuesday, it seems to us the market
may have finally taken notice. WBTO was up big on the heels of both
pieces of news - a high volume rally each day, with Monday's volume being
a record for the stock. Tuesday's volume was the fourth highest volume
day ever. Over the two days, shares gained 20.5%. Although far from being
a sure thing, this is the kind of move we have, in the past, observed to
jump-start a bullish trend.
So
how might the suggested targets and stops work using the big WBTO opportunity
as an example? As of right now, we feel $3.79 may be an appropriate target
area, while $0.89 could be an optimal stop level. Pretty simple really.
To reiterate, those are just our ideas based on our opinions, but may still
help you develop your own opinion about this chart's potential path. Both
figures appear in the grid stationed in the left-hand column of any page
on our web site.
Weighing
the risk relative to the potential reward, we see a very exciting possibility
taking shape....with shares still trading at what we think is a good
value. Plus, armed with a framework of suggested target and stop ideas,
we feel ownership of WBTO shares may offer an excellent opportunity right
now.
Web2Corp's
(WBTO) ByIndia.com Search Engine to Add 5 Major India Languages
Popular India
Languages Including Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Marathi Added to Boost
Rapidly Growing Site's User Base
Tuesday, December
5 -- ORLANDO, Fla.-- The fastest-growing Indian search engine and social
networking site announced today that it is about to add a feature that
will increase its accessibility even more. According to Internet traffic
ranking site Alexa.com, over the last 30 days since it was re-launched
as a social networking site and search engine, Web2Corp's (OTCBB:WBTO -
News) ByIndia.com has been the fastest-growing Indian search engine and
Internet community site. Not content to wait for the growth to slow before
offering new features, ByIndia.com is adding support for several major
Indian languages.
Starting on January
1, 2007, ByIndia.com will support Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali and Marathi
as well as English for all searches and menu text. Support for these languages
will allow virtually every Indian Internet visitor to use ByIndia.com to
search, bid for online auctions, blog, create personal pages, browse classified
ads, or post and view video clips. By offering functionality that is similar
to eBay.com, Blogger.com, MySpace.com, Craigslist.com and YouTube.com all
on one site and in 6 different languages, ByIndia.com makes many Web 2.0
applications accessible to India in ways that they never have been before.
With increased
accessibility and ease of use compared to competitors, ByIndia.com hopes
to drive traffic to its pages and gain market share among Indian Internet
users.
Already the #3-ranked
Indian-run search engine with an impressive 700% increase in traffic over
the last 30 days, ByIndia.com is overtaking other Indian engines in popularity.
The search engine that Alexa.com ranks as #2, 123India.com, only supports
English, and ByIndia.com already averages almost two thirds of the traffic
123India gets daily. ByIndia also has more than 14% of the traffic that
#1 Sify.com does, and ByIndia.com will support Bengali and Marathi, which
Sify.com does not.

Web2
Corp's "ByIndia.com" Ranks #1 In Indian Search Engine Growth
It
was only a few days ago we mentioned ByIndia.com's traffic growth was astronomical
after just being launched in late October, but congratulations are again
in order for Web2 Corporation (OTCBB:
WBTO). The company reported on Monday their Indian search engine and
web portal is the fastest growing site in that particular category, according
to Alexa.com.
Are
we surprised? No, not really. Web2 had been honing the 'stickiness' of
ByIndia.com, as well as getting it promo-ready, for months. Within 20 days
of its October 16th launch, the Alexa ranking has shot up from 750,000th
to 12,745th (among all globally monitored sites). And, less objectively,
we think the ByIndia.com site is easily more user friendly and fun to use
than the next nearest competitor.
As
for what's next, we feel it's going to be more of the same as time progresses.
In other words, this rapid footprint expansion could potentially make ByIndia.com
not just the fastest-growing Indian search engine, but the outright most-visited
Indian search page. It's currently ranked third in the category, and is
gaining on the #2 site pretty quickly.
In
terms of what it might mean to the bottom line, we can't emphasize enough
how important we think it is to be 'best in breed' in whatever category
you're in. If ByIndia.com can offer a potential advertiser the most visits,
in our opinion, they can pretty much write their own ticket within the
Indian market. And based on Monday's response with the stock's chart, it
appears other investors agree. WBTO is up nearly 20%, trading at $1.41
after closing at $1.17 on Friday. The rally seems to be threatening a long-term
resistance area around $1.60 too, so we feel this chart is well worth watching
now, if only to see if this short-tem move materializes into anything more.

On
The Go Up 129% From Recent Lows, Move on Big Volume
What
a past few days for On The Go Technologies (OTCBB:
ONGO)! After closing at 37 cents on November 28th, the stock rallied
up to a high of $1.13 before settling in at 85 cents yesterday. That's
still a 129% gain, and it happened on some of the best volume we've ever
seen for ONGO. And here's the kicker......there's no news behind the run-up
(at least none publicly available).
Our
thoughts? There are very few certainties in life. The same goes for investing.
However, there is one thing we can say with a little confidence about the
stock market, and that is, everything happens for a reason. It's not always
a reason we like or understand, but it's a reason nonetheless.
In
the case of On The Go, the reason isn't clear yet. But, it doesn't change
the obvious - somebody now wants ONGO shares in a pretty big way. Given
the degree of gain in a short period of time - as well as the big trend
reversal - we think On The Go could finally be getting some bullish traction.
We expect the reason for the move to come out later. For now, we don't
want to get bogged down by the 'but why' game, as it might get in the way
of capitalizing on an opportunity.
With
that being said, we have a handful of thoughts on the chart.
First,
although not foremost, the cross back above the 20 day moving average has
been impressive. With the exception of October's surge, the 20 day line
has been resistance of late. We'd be even more impressed with a cross back
above the 50 day line at $1.60, provided it can actually stay above that
intermediate-term moving average line.
We'll
also add we don't necessarily feel now is a great entry spot, unless you're
a speculator who understands these charts have a lot of downside potential
to go with their upside potential. (It could be a great entry spot - we
just can't say for sure yet.) We will add, however, that we think this
is what the beginning of a long-term recovery could indeed look like. In
our opinion, this recent chart merits a closer look; we'll be watching
to see exactly what develops, as we think it could be some much-awaited
relief for those who stuck it out. Be smart, as always.
