UDS
Group Eyes Upgrade To 'Bulletin Board' Status |
|
 |
Universal
Delivery Solutions Inc. (UDSG.PK)
may be close to taking their stock to the next proverbial level. The company
announced last week they had hired independent auditors to review and prepare
their books for the purpose of becoming eligible for an OTC bulletin board
listing.
Currently, UDSG
shares are listed as a pink sheet stock. The company overseeing this inter-dealer
quotation system - Pink Sheets, LLC - has no disclosure or reporting
requirements for a company to maintain a listing. Though some pink sheet
companies choose to submit SEC filings anyway, the general lack of disclosure
requirement may cause some investors to overlook sound opportunities only
because the stock is not listed as a bulletin board stock, or on a major
exchange.
Cognizant of
the potential hindrance to their stock's full valuation, Universal Delivery
Solutions has not only requested Sherb and Co. LLP prepare the SEC-required
10Q 's and 10K's going forward, they've also asked for an audit of UDS's
historical books. Using their financial history may allow Sherb to get
UDS shares trading on the bulletin board sooner.
While this will
change nothing about the company's performance, our research staff does
believe the bulletin board system to be a more credible exchange in investor's
eyes. Greater transparency and more liquidity associated with an OTC listing
should encourage many more interested parties to actually trade these shares.
Therefore, a bulletin board status may indeed be a bullish event for this
stock.

Zupintra
Submits Financial Statements |

For
those of you closely following the Zupintra Corporation (OTCBB:
ZUPC) story, you'll know as a Canadian-based company their SEC-required
paperwork and forms are slightly different than the ones most U.S.-based
companies are required to file. Rather than submit quarterly 10-Q's and
annual 10-K's, it has submitted all of its material information via general
forms called 8-K's. The data may be identical to what's normally
found in 10-K's and 10-Q's, but the unfamiliar form name may have prevented
some investors from considering the company's true merits.
However, that
issue has officially been resolved. As of last week, the company is
domiciled in the United States - Florida, to be exact. As such,
ZUPC is now reporting to the SEC using the official document names most
investors are familiar with. In fact, they've already submitted their
quarterly and annual statement. Click
here to see them.
The results
found in each aren't entirely a surprise, as the same information was already
publicly available. However, we feel this may ease any broad concern about
the company not being monitored by the SEC, since they are.
Regardless of
its history - even recent history - and which forms they're now
using, bear in mind our interest in this investment opportunity lies primarily
in the company's future. VOIP is a fast-growing telecom segment,
and Zupintra is positioning themselves to capitalize on a powerful niche
within the international VOIP market.
The company
expects to start generating very significant results by September, though
we believe we'll have a couple of updates about their progress between
now and then.
They say it's
darkest before dawn. If the metaphor is true for the stock market, then
the alarm clock may be buzzing now.
When things
went from bad to worse this past Thursday, many frustrated investors threw
their hands up in disgust. Moreover, enough of them may have done so to
create the very capitulation needed for stocks to regroup. The irony? Later
the same day, stocks started to come back. And thanks to a little
help from Bernanke, the buying spree carried on right through Friday.
The last day
of the week also happened to be the first positive Friday in the last five.
We see this as a subtle hint of willingness to hold stocks over the weekend,
rather than being too afraid to own them over two non-trading days. The
word 'willingness' may be an understatement though...investors were clamoring
for stocks as the week came to a close. What a shift in sentiment!
As evidence
of this change in general opinion, we submit to you the CBOE Volatility
Index, or VIX.
We took our
first look at the VIX back on August
2nd. At the time, it was unusually high (relatively), with a weekly
high of 26.22 - a hint that any selling may have already run its full course.
Who would have thought two weeks later it would be end up reaching just
shy of 40.0? Stocks continued to sink during this timeframe.
At this point
though, we believe the VIX has reached its temporary limit on an absolute
as
well as a relative basis.
Last week's
peak of 37.50 was seen on Thursday - the same day the market was racing
to new multi-week lows. However, by the end of the same day, the VIX had
fallen back to a close of 30.83, while stock indices were reclaiming almost
all of the day's 2% (or more) intra-day dip. We saw follow-through for
both the VIX as well as the market the next day. Our point is, the direction
all the charts were pointed in on Friday suggests bullishness.
But what if
the VIX continues to move higher, as it did after we looked at it two weeks
ago? It's possible, though not likely.
While the reading
in the mid-20's from three weeks ago was high compared to the last three
years or so, it was actually low in relation to VIX levels we saw
in the late 90's and early 2000's. However, a VIX level of 37.50
is a rarity for any point in its history. This is only the sixth
time the VIX has moved above 37.50 since 1990. In a couple of those cases,
it did indeed keep moving higher, but only for a very short while. In every
one of those cases though, the market was considerably higher over
the next 2 to 6 months.

a look at the nearby chart embedded within this update. To view a full-screen

image to full-sized.)
As always, there
are no guarantees - stranger things can and do happen. The odds, however,
favor the bulls at this point. That being said, it's important to note
there could still be some volatility kinks over the next few days, regardless
of whether or not the VIX-based theory is right.
