VBDG - 2/09/09 Update....

VBDG -- Why I Think It Will Explode:

Booming red hot industry, tiny float, market cap, just turned an operating income last quarter for the first time, trades barely above book value....

(1) Massive improvement last 4 quarters -$3.8 million Q4 2007 to Q3 2008 positive operating income & virtually break-even last Q. Retail sales channel up around 60%+

(2) Q4 their two main products were selling out completely with huge restock orders at Wal-mart, Sears, Best Buy, Staples, Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. MyPlace was the #1 best selling product across the Bed Bath & Beyond chain during Thanksgiving (black Friday) weekend.

(3) As Seen On TV Industry exploding:

"“the as-seen-on-TV business right now is booming. It’s a very good place to be.” ~~NY Times article, published 1/26/09
http://www.ajc.com/biz/content/shared-gen/nyt/business/c789543e-e2b4-4551-ba3b-29b0b2e20b43.html

"the last 6 months of 2008 over '07 our sales literally doubled. They solve a common problem and people love it. And people still have 10 or 20 dollars to spend." ~~Interview with CEO of large As Seen On TV retail company Telebrands, 1/14/09

Infomericals Rise During Recessions
"we're able to buy primetime media at very inexpensive prices....there's certain types of businesses that go up in a bad economy" ~~ABC News on 1/12/09

"This is the worst economic downturn that we've seen in the 25 years I've been in business, and it's also the biggest increase in business I've seen......we're able to buy that TV time at half the price we were paying last year" ~~Interview with CEO of large As Seen On TV retail company Telebrands, 1/6/09

(4) Q4 YOY sales should be up 70-100% (if sales are similar to Q3) with positive earnings possible compared to a big net loss the prior year.
Why I think $5/share Is Realistically Possible for VBDG:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34617217

(5) VBDG is expanding into new store chains including huge grocery store chains:

(6) VBDG's CEO has bought shares in the open market recently:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34134063

(7) Looking into early 2009, they are launching a ton of new products to layer ontop of the current ones. Some of these include a celebrity heated Ice Scraper (already launched during Q4), three new styles of MyPlace products, Nice Dicer, Genius Air, Ecoballs, Detect, further expansion of SteamBuddy & MyPlace to restock the massive sales of these during Q4, and a number of other products yet to be announced.....a rather busy list of new products to all hit all of the major retail chains upon launch layered ontop of their current product success.

ALIF - 2/9/09 update

ALIF -- iPhone application game maker that is making money hand over fist, tiny PE, completely off radar, growing very rapidly, and trading at ridiculously low undervalued levels with a rock solid debt-free high equity balance sheet.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33249023

Evidence that their first iPhone game (Amateur Surgeon) is selling like crazy.....hundreds of positive reviews and it was just barely released in early Dec. 08 and it's one of the most popular downloaded applications on the iphone:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=299186925&mt=8

Lots of new products being launched and sold to iPhone users with the potential of massive growth layered ontop of what they're doing so far:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34805051

Some Interesting Articles On the Market For iPhone Applications:
"iPhone App Store surpasses 500 million downloads"
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34987685&mdc=25583
"iPhone apps are latest gold rush"
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34988074&mdc=25583

Massive Hiring - "We had 63 full time employees as of September 30, 2008. We also hire temporary staff, external consultants and interns to support our operations." (page 10) That is up 23% from 51 employees six months prior. There are still 30 positions listed on the website. This signals that they are undergoing further huge growth:
http://www.artificial-life.com/alife/index.php?cat=about&sub=5&list=0&t=en

Rapidly Growing Industry - Gaming for cell phones is growing rapidly. It was $3B in 2006 and is forecasted to be $10.5B in 2009 and 17.5B by 2011. This is a huge industry to service.

Relationships with Big Names - They have relationships with major media companies such as Warner Brothers, Paramount Digital Entertainment, Cartoon Network, and Oxygen. In these relationships they are making or made products based upon the company's films or TV shows (e.g. Braveheart). They also have relationships with famous people such as Soccer Star Leo Messi, Vitali and Wladimir Kitschko, and the Tokio Hotel band to make games based upon their images and likeness.

EGMI - 2/9/09 update

EGMI potential 5+ bagger based on current & exploding results, consistently beating and raising guidance every quarter. In addition to making money hand over fist, they are debt-free & cash-rich with healthy margins. Guidance is +.10 EPS for 2008, +.14 EPS for 2009 (40% growth) while forecasting long term they expect growth to be "more aggressive than 40%."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33494172

With a tiny PE for 2009, EGMI is a multi-bagger in the marking IMO.

(1) Recently, Lord Steinberg has been appointed as Executive Chairman of the Board. He has a very impressive background in the gaming industry. His contacts and industry experience are likely to expand EGMI's growth. In addition, he has been buying large blocks of shares in the open market.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=29832911

(2) EGMI recently signed a five-year licensing agreement for distribution into Native American Indian-owned Casinos and Lotteries. It implies approximately an additional $0.02 in pre-tax earnings for 2009. This may not be factored into the guidance identified above:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32191035

(3) EGMI has an investment in a mobile phone company that may provide a sizeable gain as they have plans to IPO in the near future.

(4) EGMI is expanding into games and toys. Their first product in this area is a game for the very popular children's series "Thomas and Friends."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=30699277

(5) EGMI is considering a stock buyback program due to the fact that they are sitting ontop of so much cash.
(info taken from conference call). Preferred stock and warrants have been bought back already:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=35357353

(6) Electronic Game Card Started At Buy By Roth Cap
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33515746

(7) EGMI just hired two hot-shot executives with extremely impressive resumes to the CEO & VP of sales positions:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34216064

(8) New executives forecast a goal of $100 million in realistic annual sales:

STVI - 2/9/09 udpate

STVI recession-proof stock growing fast. Q3 net income tripled over Q2 just before it while still sporting a tiny annualized PE ratio. Q4 has been preannounced with record sales.
Company forecasts much more growth over the coming months.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33614939
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33528275

STVI has a tiny float, debt-free, and is becoming cash-rich while operating their recession-proof booming business.
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ks?s=STVI.OB

With STVI earning +.04 EPS last Q and the massive margins it has, could +.10 Qs be far away or a +.40 annual pace? If so, PE of mere 10 = $4.00/share. They have yet to even advertise their services, only just began offering premium services, and are in the process of being the first to launch to mobile phones including the iPhone.

We should hear key info within 45 days of yesterday about their mobile dating application being launched according to investor relations.

Just my opinion. More detailed DD & Board here:

DAAT - 2/9/09 update

DAAT = profitable, undervalued, sexy story potential multi-bagger. With the election of Obama, gun sales have gone through the roof (DAAT's main line of business is selling gun cleaning kits to Wal-mart, Kmart, Sports Authority, and a ton of other major retail chains):
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34018010

DAAT's sales for October 2008 alone were almost as big as all of last quarter combined!
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33614797

"Gun sales spike amid fears of federal regulation"
http://www.mlive.com/news/chronicle/index.ssf?/base/news-16/1233919064211400.xml&coll=8

"Obama Driving Surge in Gun Sales, Firearms Groups Say
End-of-the-year statistics show background checks for firearms purchases rose sharply in the last three months of 2008."
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/01/16/firearms-associations-claim-obama-drove-surge-gun-sales/

In addition to the monster jump in sales, please note from the PR the drastic drop in costs for DAAT due to the huge drop in commodity prices. With DAAT trading at a fraction of tangible book value and growing very fast in this economy with cheaper costs, Q4 could be a potential sales & EPS monster! In addition, DAAT has a tiny float (5 mil shares), is debt-free, and their executives have very modest salaries (CEO pay = $70k annual according to Yahoo).

DAAT has a number of new products recently launched and in development. With their retail customers being giant retailers such examples as Wal-mart, K-mart, and Sports Authority, the potential growth in sales through these relationships is very high IMO.
