laptop~!!!!!
They've made the update. Believe it or not (it's hard to believe!) there's 550,000 car ads on the site. This team IS FOR REAL. UNBELIEVABLE.
And when they say $0.21 EPS, I'm sure they will deliver as well. $10 ha, I don't want to get ahead of myself, but if 995ad.com attracts a lot of attention with a million ads (almost there already), then we could see $20, $30, $40, etc... with only 50,000,000 shares o/s.
I know the first advertisements on 995ad.com were heavily discounted (as per the PR), but if we were to sustain a number of ads like this, 500,000 ads per month, that's $5,000,000 in revenue for minimal expenses. That's $60,000,000 annual sales.
This stock is UNBELIEVABLE. Only problem is that nobody knows about it. Today marks the 63rd day this company has been public. This is truely "ground floor".
Datatech, believe me, when I posted that earlier, there was only 34,755 car ads posted. They updated the rest (all 500,000 more ads) on 9/2/2005.
You can have anyone else on this board confirm. THERE WERE 34,755 car ads as of 9/1/2005. ASK ANYONE.
But now everything is up and running and LOOKS SPECTACULAR. OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!
THE 550,000 CAR ADS ARE NOW UP!!!!!!!
Very amusing post to say the least.
I share your sentiment about 995ad.com but I still have concerns. According to their PRs, they stated that they'll have 550,000 car ads by July. And now, they state that they DO HAVE 550,000 car ads as of today.
But what concerns me is that 995ad.com only has 34,755 car ads. That's great, but wheres the other 500,000+ ads?
Although it concerns me (and I hope they get working on it ASAP), I'm still invested in IDWS because they are a very well rounded company. I was researching on their site, which is probably the best bet to see what IDWS actually does, and found out good info on them.
Looks like they have a handful of very profitable niche businesses all over the place. They have:
1) A software outsourcing company, I believe this is their main business. They have over 400+ IT professionals. I'm assuming that they're all outsourced of course. From what I read, I got the impression that it was the Carribeans?
2) A security company
3) A bass fishing company. (Very nice product by the way. I saw the video clip and was damn impressed with the product)
4) And of course 995ad.com
I am comfortable with my position in IDWS because all of their subsidary websites seem extremely professional and legit. 995ad.com is probably the portion of the company that requires the most attention in terms of upgrading, updating, and revising.
But other than that, shares o/s looks great, debt-free is always good, and the pro forma earnings are splendid and to die for.
Activity right now is dead. I'm waiting for updates to 995ad.com, earnings, and for the crowd to rush in and push up the PPS to drastic new highs.
See you next sunrise...
Just waiting for some action... EOM.
Datatech,
I've been asking around trying to get answers, even from the IDWS people, but no response. Do you know when they'll be updating their ads? They continuously state they have 500,000 car ads but it still remains at 34,755. I was wondering if they'll update the number of ads soon.
Datatech,
well stated. For all those reasons, that is why I am here. I arrived here because of the pro forma earnings. It was just too impressive to pass on the offer.
I agree, we can easily hit $2 because of the low float. I wanted to ask you if you were familiar with the total shares o/s. Do you have an idea of that number?
I know that the float is only nearly 5,000,000. But shorted shares are really asking for the squeeze.
Data Center purchase: I can't believe he'd just use his own money and then give it to the corporation. This is amazing. Screaming undervalued.
This also bodes extremely well b/c 995ad will need the data center support to keep things well maintained. I was worried about that. Not anymore. Excellent.
Shares outstanding, Financials, etc...
According to the PR, "This buyback [5,000,000] is the equivalent of 50% of the total public stock float of IDS"
Does that mean there's only 5,000,000 shares in the float right now? That's it!?!??? Anybody know how many shares are outstanding? How many shares the execs are holding?
To date, they've only purchased back 600,000 shares, so they got 4,400,000 more shares to go. I'm sure that will boost the PPS as well.
Is anybody else showing different? I tried searching for hotels, all I came up with was 6 listings. Maybe these are just the "featured" ones? I couldn't find a link that would take me to "view all listings [hotels]"
I hope I am not correct.
And good point, I can't wait for the first bunch of bashers to arrive. Conversing with intelligent people and not being interrrrupted by bashers is something great but not meant to last.
Ha.
- 34,755 total car ads listed - EOM
Laptop,
When I was complaining about the internal seach engine about their zip code, it was very peculiar. All of a sudden I was typing my complaint in the "feedback" text box, and then a screen just popped up that led me directly to a live customer service representative.
So I was chatting with the customer rep for about 10 minutes. I was scheming so bad and trying to get as much information out of this rep as possible.
I found out that he was an outsourced customer rep. He said that he was not in America. I'm assuming that their customer assistants and webmasters and programmers are either in the philippines or India or something. I tried to get him to tell me what country he was based in but he said he couldn't say. But it doesn't matter, they're cheap labor which is great for us.
Secondly, I asked about the 500,000 car ad claim. He said that they'd be updating the ads constantly. Laptop, I'm sure you're right. The ads just take time to post. Especially when you're dealing with 100s of thousands. So I'm looking for a boatload of more listings. Laptop, have you been keeping track of how many cars are listed? I believe tonight was a total of 34,000. I wanted to ask you if you knew the number a week/2 weeks/month ago.
But I'll be constantly checking for updates and new listings.
I was complaining to 995ad.com about their internal search engine because any time you enter a zip code, it will automatically say "zero results".
I guess this is because when sellers list their products, maybe they're not asked a zip code. Go figure. It's a bad mistake on their part, I hope they get that fixed. It makes it look like they have no cars on their site. It sure gave me that impression, that's why I was steaming mad with my initial posts on this board. They should have a field that says " X amount of miles within zip code: "
I hope they fix that.
Still at work formating with databases. Taking few minute breathers to post and what not.
IDWS is one of those stocks where it's just clearly obvious that it's going up. Especially at this level. Penny to nickel fluctuations don't mean anything here, I'm waiting for the increases of $0.10s then later on $0.25s. So much money to be made here it's unbelievable. Funny how its only you and me laptop and a handful of others.
Let's just wait cheerfully I guess.
Laptop,
I'd be thrilled to see $1, laughing to the bank at $5, and what do you say we race our Ferraris at $10?
I've never seen a pk give a guidance of $0.25. It's hard enough to see a pk give a positive income guidance at all.
I think we're just lucky because this ticker has only been on the market for 60 somewhat days. I consider myself very early and fortunate.
See you all tomorrow. Actually, there's only like 4 posters here on this board. See you 4 tomorrow. I look forward to new posters.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. If IDWS earns $0.25/share, with a P/E ratio of 40, that would take us to a share price of $10 a share.
So the sky's the limit? If we stabilize at a P/E ratio of 40 that's a $10 pps but if we fluctuate to a P/E ratio 80 for a brief moment that equates to a $20 pps, P/E of 120 then $30.
I'm assuming that we carry an undervalued PPS b/c:
1) We've only been existant for approximately 60 days since the IPO so we're extremely unknown to the market.
2) of the exchange we're on. Once we move to more credible exchanges then we can expect the PPS to appreciate rapidly. According to their PR, we can expect to be on a better exchange before year's end.
So my conclusion is that we're a hidden gem waiting to explode in a relatively short time frame (under 1 year). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Problems with 995ad.com.
I hope everyone is actively visiting the site and sending the company feedback for improvment. I've sent two messages about their internal seach engine. It seems to be disrupted because I continue to get 0 results with such a broad/general search.
laptop,
My purchase order executed 40 minutes into trading. I am very satisfied with the entry.
I'm glad to join this board.
laptoptrader,
thanks for the communication and clarification. I wasn't trying to bash with my initial posts, I was just frustrated that there were no results located, which made me raise suspicision and I guess jump to conclusions.
I see that everything, for the most part, is in order. So I will be jumping in tomorrow, for hopefully anything under $0.25.
I look forward to joining you guys. Thanks again for the posts.
laptoptrader,
thank you for the link about the used cars. But I still don't understand how you got there. When I go to 995ad.com, I click on "browse", then "cars", and then I go to "view all listings". This only results in 152 listings (as per yesterday night). I don't understand how you got there. But sure enough your link works.
But I wanted to ask you why is it that when I try search for a car that nothing shows up. For example I searched for a used honda civic any year/price. Nothing shows up. A honda civic is one of the most popular cars on the market. I also tried searches for multiple cars in multiple locations in the chicagoland area yet no results were found. Is there just something wrong with their internal serach engine? That could be my only guess.
I am thinking about getting in but I found some issues that I needed cleared up.
Moneymade, how can you believe anything that they are saying?
Can you explain their statements about the number of advertisements on 995ad.com? Why do they claim to have 550,000 cars and 70,000 hotel listings?
I just don't understand. This is ridiculous.
A grand total of 152 car listings were there and only 6 hotel listings were found. This is a joke.
Shouldn't the SEC step into this? They are flat-out liars.
IDWS are flat out liars. I have proof.
"... [995ad.com] now has over 550,000 car ads and 70,000 hotel and resort ads in the first 60 days since the site launched, is leading to record revenues and earning per share (EPS) for fiscal year 2006."
550,000 car ads huh? 70,000 hotel ads? They must have the wrong website because 995ad.com only has a total of 152 car listing advertisements and a grand total of 6 hotel listings.
I clicked on "view all listings" for each category and that's what showed up. I got suspicious after every search for a general item came up with "no matches found".
My question to you is, WHY IS IDWS flat out liars? And why lie so big? 550,000 car ads? LOL, there's 152. 70,000 hotel ads? There's only 6 for the love of God.
And an "estimated" EPS of $0.21? I'm assuming that that forecast is a wild lie just like their wild quantatative lies about their ads. This is BEYOND ridiculous. Why is nobody speaking up about this?
OT- What are some other hot stocks in PK and BB land? I just got out of MMXT recently after the run up. Too bad that I missed vyst.ob though.
Anyone have suggestions or hot picks with potential? Please lemme know~ Thanks!
Charts and volume show that the volume was not as strong as the recent run-up. Most likely many people are hesitating or on the sidelines waiting to get in after the CC. Nothing wrong with playing it safe, just expect a lot more buyers to push the PPS up steadily.
Have fun and enjoy.
Please keep in mind that Savannah is the largest single port. Can you imagine that? The largest port. That means there will be a trickle down effect. Smaller ports are going to see what the leaders are using.
This is unbelievable and bigger than most are thinking.
spencer, good analysis. But do you really think that we'll be only trading at a P/E of 20? You can't be serious. We're in micro-land, this is not MSFT.
Realistically, we'll be trading at a P/E of a minimum of 40 and could spike as high as 80-120+. Just take a look at mid caps such TASR, SONS, etc... Look at their history and see how high their PPS went according to their earnings. Their P/Es were ridiculous.
Bottom line, we could see PPS of $2+ when the P/E spikes on a buying frenzy, I'm not saying that it will stabilize there, but it can reach it. You're a smart guy, you know what I'm talking about.
See you at the top.
What kind of moderator runs this board? This is just as bad as RB.
Well stated. He can't read.
Moderator, please delete 5bag's posts that are just a waste of space and are creating clutter.
5bag, thank you for all your great and insightful posts of bashing and accusations based on nothing. You are truely an excellent stock picker and we should all praise and thank you for giving us advice and warning us that this company is going to fail miserably.
We thank you so much! You are so generous and kind. You are an amazing stock picker. You're so good at this.
Is that what you want to hear? I said it. Now leave and be gone loser.
If you don't have any holdings in HISC or not attempting to get in, then why are you here? You must be one complete loser. Are you 19 years old? Get a life.
Well said. Well said.
"What broker will allow shorting on this stock, and what are the margin requirements? Ameritrade won't allow shorting on pinkies, at least not without .50 per share deposit. Who would waste the money on that gamble?"
Are you joking me? Are you not aware of all the shorting going around on the PKs? You have to be joking me.
Welcome to the stock market.
I'm seeing some strong movements by HISC right now.
Best strategy against bashers:
Just tell them that they are:
- the best stock traders and they're so smart.
- and that you appreciate them for warning you about how terrible the stock is
That's all they want to hear. I don't know why, but that's what they want to hear. If they don't leave after they hear that, that means they really have nothing better to do and they're complete losers.
Reality.
ChicagoSox, you're going to realize sooner or later that arguing on this board is a waste of your time. Even though you have nothing better to do, you're going to realize it.
Exactly what are you trying to accomplish by bashing it?
Are you trying to gain a status on a message that nobody even cares about as a great stock trader? Fine, YOU'RE A GREAT STOCK TRADER, we all should listen to you. Great. Happy? Now leave loser.
You're such a great stock trader and maybe you're just trying to warn us. Well consider us warned, now be gone.
"Quiet Period" you're all wrong.
Well most of you are all wrong.
"Quiet period" does not mean they can't release a PR. In a "quiet period", they can't give a PR saying the status of how the listing is going, that's it.
They CAN KEEP RELEASING PRs about ordinary business. Are you guys all new at investing? Ridiculous, same with RB.
$0.10 close it is. See you all tomorrow.
Real time Back up to $0.105. Reversal~
Hi board, I just got in.
HISC caught my attention early this week so I picked up a sizeable amount before the recent run-up. I feel great like a million bucks but I bet many of you have been here since it was a penny. Congrats to those.
Concerning the "Onstar" system. My brother in law has one of those and it is extremely bulky. I believe the cyber tracker will be a winner b/c of its small size and push to talk features. Great product and excellent management.
Long and Strong.
