Platinum Studios, Inc. (PDOS) Striving to Become the Gold Standard in Movies and Television
September 23rd, 2011

There are probably few people, at least in the United States and in much of the West, who haven’t seen one or both of the two “Men in Black” movies starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones (a third movie is currently in post production and scheduled for a May, 2012 release). How many people, though, are aware that the creator of the popular comic book that gave the movie franchise its name left his comfortable sinecure as founder and head of the comic book production company that brought forth the MiB comics? And that he founded Platinum Studios, Inc. in 1997 after the first MiB film became a smash hit that same year?

Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, perhaps sensing an even greater opportunity to bring his vision of comic-books-as-movies-and-television-fare to the masses, certainly took a great leap of faith that year and, so far, it seems to be paying off. At present, a number of comic books and graphic novels created and owned by Rosenberg and Platinum Studios are either being developed for film or TV treatments or have already made it onto the silver screen. Count the 2011 release “Cowboys and Aliens” – starring Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig, the current James Bond – as one of the most notable of them. It may be that this independent graphic novel, comic book and film production company is primed for a golden run, in fact.

One reason why PDOS may be looking at a potentially golden (or “platinum”) future is that it owns an extremely large library of comics and graphic novel content, ready to be mined by a film industry desperate for relevancy among Millennials (AKA “Generation Y,” “Generation Next,” or those generally born since about 1985 through the mid-1990s). With rights to over 5000 specific (and popular) comic book characters, PDOS is ideally situated to capitalize on its intellectual property in working with (but not for) Hollywood to adapt those characters for film, television and an array of Web-based media spanning a huge spectrum of demographics. The possibility of significant revenue streams, then, is quite strong.

Platinum Studios itself currently trades as an OTCBB stock and it’s quite often a very vigorously traded security. For example, its average daily trading volume currently stands at 4.39 million shares, and it’s often the recipient of 10 to 15 million share trade days. The quality of the stock and its ability to be traded so well is illustrated by its healthy market cap, which stands at $3.15 million. Additionally, PDOS benefits from a relatively low (for an OTC security) authorized share ratio of only 500 million, with 380 million shares outstanding and a float of just about 176 million.


Does PDOS have a golden future? Possibly.

Given that the share structure for PDOS is so rational for an OTC security, it’s perhaps a bit surprising that it trades in the sub-penny range currently, but that only makes the opportunity to trade in the stock that much more appealing if you’re looking to make day trading a pastime or even an avocation. Today, the 23rd of September, shares of PDOS are currently trading at 0.0083, with a bid price offer of 0.0076 and an asking price of 0.0082. It closed the September 22nd trading day at 0.0083, and there’s a daily potential profit margin, if trades are timed properly, of from 10 to 25 percent, many experts would say.

In all, Platinum Studios, Inc. (PDOS) could be just the sort of entertainment industry security that can be explored and then mined for a plethora of riches when it’s traded in the hands of a smart and savvy investor.
