Good morning, everybody. Yes, it's a morning edition of the SmallCap Network newsletter, and an unscheduled one at that. Something came up after the close yesterday. We debated waiting to talk about it until after the close today (which is when we usually send the newsletter), but we all agreed... it may be too late then. This is the kind of news where once you read between the lines, you can just tell something big is happening. With only a few hours between now and Friday's close - and with the weekend approaching - it's best to get this to you ASAP before the rest of the market starts to put two and two together. Remember SecureCom Mobile (SCQBF)? We introduced this company to you back in July, as it was on the verge of unveiling its app for Android devices in India - a fast-growing mobile market. We've kept the company on the radar since then, though it's laid fairly low publicity-wise. In light of last night's announcement it had named a new President/CEO though, we have to wonder if SecureCom Mobile is about to turn up the proverbial heat. If so, that could light a fire under the stock. Just as a quick refresher, SecureCom has developed a way to encrypt a digital message like a text, phone call, or even an attached document sent from a smartphone or a tablet. The digital message is only unencrypted once its arrival is confirmed at the intended device. The encryption is of the highest level possible, but just to make doubly sure it's safe and can can never be unencrypted even if nefariously recorded, the digital encryption keys are destroyed once the communication session ends. It may be the most potent and useful mobile security/encryption app designed for the average user yet, filling in the biggest security gap your smartphone may have without you even knowing it. And make no mistake - the need is for real. If you think the only people being snooped on are presumed enemies of government entities, think again. Though they're only supposed to be owned and operated by authorized law enforcement personnel, anybody with a little technology acumen can build their own mobile phone eavesdropping device. Not to scare you, but there are people out there who ARE interested in your conversation with your doctor, lawyer, or even family members. They're also looking to listen to your business dealings, and maybe steal a trade secret or two. And yet, the digital device all of us now use more than any other is the one we protect the least, opening the door to all sorts of malware and spyware. The SecureCom Mobile apps abate that risk. Fast forward to today. After several weeks of not hearing much from the company, it announced last night that Roland Josef Bopp has been named President and CEO. If the name rings a bell, there's a reason. Bopp previously served as the President & CEO of the Americas for Deutsche Telekom Inc., a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom of Germany. He was also a managing director of Mannesmann, a $20 billion telecom and engineering company acquired by Vodafone in 2000. He even managed several telecom sector mutual funds with wireless properties located in Eastern Europe. In other words, Bopp knows what he's doing. If a guy like that - who could probably write his own ticket anywhere he wanted - is interested in taking the helm at SecureCom Mobile, then it speaks volumes about the potential of the SecureCom encryption apps. It's all been an amiable transition too. Former CEO Peter Wilson and President Sean Comeau will remain on the board of directors. The point is, this company that's been oddly quiet for too long looks like it's on the verge of making a lot of noise. We just wanted you to know about it as soon as possible this morning because we think it's the kind of news that could spread fast, given who Bopp is and what he's done. If the news gets enough of the right kind of traction, there's no telling what this could do for the stock. At stake is a piece of what will be a $35 billion market by 2020. The usual cautions still apply. That is, if you're going to wade in, we suggest using smart entry-limit orders and then apply stops to protect yourself. We also suggest never investing more in a speculative trade like this than you can afford to lose. Regardless, this is the kind of news we've been waiting on from SCQBF for a while, and it's the kind of news that sets up a lot more news in the foreseeable future. Oh, and since we promised, as of the last look, the Panthers were favored over the Broncos by five points. We'll take the Broncos to cover. We think Denver's going to do everything they can to send Manning off in style. Here's the SecureCom press release.
