United States Basketball League, Inc. (OTC-BB: USBL), the only publicly-traded sports league, is rumored to be in the process of closing on the addition of three new franchise teams for the 2008 season. The addition of these franchises will generate 6 figure revenues PER contract, and it is also rumored that the company is in negotiations with 2 other potential franchise owners!
There are approximately 3.5 million shares of company stock issued and outstanding per the attached PR below. What the press release does not tell you is that 3 million of those shares are owned by insiders, who appear to have been adding to their positions as of late. This equates to a very limited supply of shares (around 400K) available in the tradable float available to the public. Being that there are so few shares available for public consumption, any type of major news release will send the share price through the roof. It is simple economics: supply vs. demand. When the investor demand becomes greater than the supply of ~400K shares available, USBL’s stock price will have no choice but to increase.
Our near term price target is conservatively set at $2.25.
