Every stock that trades has people on the buy side that see the opportunity and those on the sell side that don't agree with the potential.
As an investor, I have to decide based on all the information if I should hold or move on.
By now, we have all read this post from Nick Abe on why he is short the stock, although that can change at any time and for any reason and he won't be telling you. For now, he is short apparently, and he says why, kind of....
I read through it, and this caught my eye... I am not sure what type of technology INT has licensed from SaaS Technologies, but the main technology that Ortsbo appears to be using and I recall reading about SaaS in different releases, so I thought I would find out more.
SaaS is a canadian division of SAP, a german company with a value of 75 Billion US$. You may have seen SAP on a few hats of PGA golfers. Anyway, SaaS provides services to Ortsbo to operate in the 'cloud' and provides the software...read on, as some of this is hard to understand unless you are in that business.
SaaS BI can be a good choice when there’s little or no budget money available for buying BI software and related hardware. Because there aren't any upfront purchase costs or additional staffing requirements needed to manage the BI system, total cost of ownership (TCO) may be lower than it is with on-premise software – although overall SaaS BI costs will depend on the amount of usage the tools get.
Software as a Service business intelligence (SaaS BI) is a delivery model for business intelligence in which applications are typically deployed outside of a company’s firewall at a hosted location and accessed by an end user with a secure Internet connection. Also known as on-demand BI or cloud BI, the technology is sold by vendors on a subscription or pay-as-you-go basis instead of the more traditional software licensing model with annual maintenance fees.See also: private cloud
I found the release with respect to the funding relationship, and will post when I find it again :), but INT wholly owns Ortsbo, and receives 75% of revenue stream I believe, and SaaS would benifit from the balance for what they provide. It does not work without their technology, and it's not an ongoing cost to INT, just a shared reward....best of both worlds.
So, this guy is short, and as much as he questions INT for not giving the entire picture, he is doing the exact same. He makes money trying to convince you to sell....he is not going to give you a balanced opinion.
His reference to Google....everyone of us use Google for one thing or another, that has nothing to do with anything. INT has created a Monsta in ORTSBO and it has gone viral and is becoming a household name like facebook, twitter, Linkedin, so the question you have to ask yourself, is how many billions of dollars is this potentially worth, with continued growth.
INT was operating on a shoe string month to month, and were able to build what social media, consumers, and more importantly what businesses need. They just raised over $20Million dollars so have a balance sheet that will allow them to focus on the future growth.
We are in a good place right now. I will find and post the relationship of SaaS and INT shortly.
Cheers
