Why a big deal? I really think PHDT is way undervalued relative to where the company appears to be going; yesterday's news is yet another reason why I think they're going to get there.  What's even more incredible to me is the entry opportunity still available to investors - a mere 20 cents per share, as of yesterday. But what do we think Phinder's stock is going to be worth a few months down the road? How does a suggested target of $1.25 sound? That would be a modest gain of 525% from the current level. And frankly, the math behind our valuation was deliberately conservative.  In the meantime, check out how Phinder's investors are seeing the company turn 'concepts and plans' into 'real revenue capability' right before our eyes.    The News The 'news' comes as no surprise to me, but it does validate their strategic plans - Phinder is indeed establishing a presence in the underserved Latin American telecom market, and then intends to use the infrastructure there to make international connections to and from the region. The construction and installations required to allow those international connections is now complete, per the press release below.  Or, to put it on simple terms, Phinder is ready to do some business. I don't think the quote from CEO John 'Lex' van Arem could be any more clear....."We have completed testing and expect to start running traffic and realizing revenue within the next several weeks." Do you see any ambiguity there?  The first established market looks like it's going to be Argentina. I'm not sure why Argentina, but on the other hand, I don't know that it matters - Argentina is just the first. The part that matters is simply how Phinder will build a working (revenue bearing) model there, and then go out and build the same kind of service in other Latin/South American markets.    The Point What's not quite as pronounced in the press release is the speed with which the next deployments are likely to come.  Just to clarify, the announcement on Friday wasn't news of Argentina's infrastructure being in place - it was news of Zupintra Panama's (Phinder's business name in the region) completion of its Latin American network. I don't think the market recognizes just how close an explosive expansion may be here. The heavy lifting, so to speak, has been done.....Zupintra-Panama's network is complete. The next step is simply connecting the individual markets to the Zupintra network.  And how quickly might the rest of the markets be set up? The press release said Argentina's deployment took less than 60 days, though I'm guessing the whole process from start to finish may have taken more time. So, should we expect to see all these other countries fall into place within a few months from now? Nope - I don't think the wait is going to be anywhere near that long.  Though we've only been watching Phinder from less than a month, there's at least one clear nuance I've already picked up on - they're good at keeping secrets. The company has been tight-lipped about not only the other Latin and South American countries they're working on, but also about the local (domestic) carriers they're forging relationships with. And believe me, I've tried to get these few extra data nuggets - no dice. The thing is, they've been tight-lipped for many weeks, only painting a picture with broad strokes. So, for them to come out and definitively say the Argentina market was a reality actually speaks volumes about their progress. However, that's not the point I'm trying to make. The months likely required to start a similar pogrom in other countries seem to have already been invested - Argentina was just the first unit to come to fruition. Like van Arem said in the release, they expect to see revenues within weeks. I personally have to wonder if it will even be that long. Either way, I'd say investors are going to have a lot to be excited about real soon - much sooner than they may realize.    The Stock You know, some stocks make steady gains, reflecting the incremental progress of the underlying company. Other stocks are more apt to begin climbing by starting out with a huge jump. As it stands right now, I'm putting PHDT in the second category. Don't interpret this as a guarantee, but I just get the feeling we're all gonna' wake up one day and find that Phinder is off to the races - not unlike a winning lottery ticket.  Why do I think that? A couple of reasons. First, I don't know that the rest of the market knows or understands the story...they usually just understand current revenues, and earnings growth. One of the benefits of our newsletter is a deeper understanding of what's really going on with a company. In Phinder's case, "what's really going on" is a ground-floor opportunity. Once Phinder cashes that first big check, I suspect the lemmings will take notice.  The second reason I think PHDT could take off like a rocket - and this is the real benefit of the Small Cap Network Newsletter - is the result of putting all the recent news together, and being able to read between the lines.  Remember a couple of weeks ago Phinder announced they had secured credit insurance that would allow them to bill up to $120 million worth of revenue per year? Why do you think a company that was on track to do just a little over $10 million by their year's end (of March 31st) would be interested in $120 million worth of revenue capacity? That sort of insurance is far from cheap, so to see them get it at all I feel is a huge sign of management's confidence in the company's future. But then again, that's the same management team putting together all those deals that have so far been very hush-hush. Put two and two together here.  The catalyst for the stock, I suspect, will be the announcement of a big contract with a major carrier to connect phones 'here' with phones 'there'. Contracts of that nature are probably going to be multi-million dollar deals, and the company has at least said they're working on multiple carriers. If they announce those contracts the same way they handled the Argentina news - and I believe they will - then we're going to learn of it only after the papers are signed, sealed, and delivered. In fact, I have to wonder if there aren't some deals in the bag already, and they're just waiting to flip the 'on' switch before saying anything. It wouldn't surprise me.  In any case, the 'Phinder plan' is appearing to be the 'Phinder reality' more and more every day. As excited as I was a month ago, I'm even more excited about the upside potential of PHDT now - there's just too much potential good news in store for me to ignore. And, I think it merits repeating....I just think this stock is going to get rolling with an unannounced big bang, leaving any interested investors behind the eight ball if they don't yet have a position. We shall see.    Zupintra Panama, S.A. Announces Wholesale Telecommunications Products  MIAMI, May 4 / - Zupintra Panama, S.A., a subsidiary of Phinder Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: PHDT) is pleased to announce it has completed the initial construction phase of its Latin America network. With this network Zupintra Panama will expand its wholesale telecommunications products to leading international telephone companies worldwide.  "With Zupintra Panama as our launch pad, this first stage of deployment in Argentina has happened in less than 60 days and reflects our rapid growth strategy," stated John Alexander (Lex) van Arem, CEO of Phinder Technologies Inc. "We have completed testing and expect to start running traffic and realizing revenues within the next several weeks. Deployment of network infrastructure, having a customer acquisition team and the financial tools we have already put into place are all key elements of our overall plan."  "This phase is merely the start," stated Gustavo Alberelli, Managing Director of Zupintra Panama. "We are continuing to expand in other Latin American markets and are going to grow our presence in Argentina and Uruguay with initiatives in consumer telecommunications services, especially in the WiMax arena."  "With this milestone behind us, we look forward to building quickly into a Pan American telecom leader by constructing similar projects in other Latin and South American countries," stated Christopher G.

Over the last couple of weeks we've been preaching the need to get and stay above 90 cents to really have a shot at a major upward move. But as of Friday, I really have to say I think it's in the cards. Momentum is good, and there's plenty of depth.  Though we haven't broken past the 90 cent line as decisively as I'd like (we're currently at 90 cents after reaching a high of 97 cents on Tuesday), the higher lows and new highs are clear.  What I really like is the volume behind all this buying. This week's volume was the most we'd seen in nearly a year...and it was almost all from the buying side of the table. CVM closed higher for this week, after gaining 12% last week, and gaining 6.7% the week before that. The volume has been successively better each week as well.  I believe this kind of thing could have a snowball effect, meaning as each milestone is passed, more buying could be inspired and increase the pace of this run. Things are getting real interesting now - in a good way.    New 'Market Wise' Posted Just in case some of you only have the blog bookmarked (or only get the RSS feed), there's a new 'Market Wise' article now posted on the home page.

The one I most readily notice is a wedge shape. That just means there's a falling resistance line, and a rising support line...and they're on a collision course.  Most technicians (chart watchers) would see the wedge shape and recognize that CCBEF will eventually have to move outside of those converging lines - and pretty soon. The 'tip' of the wedge is around $2.69, but odds are we'll get a break - one direction or another - before we actually move that far to the right.  And which direction might that be? I still have to think there's more upside than downside here, making the last few months a consolidation phase.  I suspect the catalyst will be the underlying performance. A study of Clearly's timeline reveals their acquisition and growth initiatives aren't just rhetoric. And here's the kicker....I don't think the company is anywhere near done gathering all of its intended acquisitions.  Check out the history (just the headlines) of everything Clearly Canadian has done over the last several weeks. I think you'll see a very common theme - growth!  To me, Clearly could be on track to pretty much double the $7.4 million they did in sales last year. If that's the case, I sure wouldn't mind being around if this wedge breaks in a bullish way.  Click here for more (and a chart). Subscribe Information is power and timely information is profitable.
