Eyeballing VELA..strong, steady turnaround last 3days / up 33% that could ignite....Bullish article out today provides exceptional forecast..



Focus:  VELA

VELA is steadily gaining on recent/ongoing accumulation near .03 and recent, very bullish news.










In light of..including excerpts from an earlier newsletter sent to subscribers @ www.greenbackers.com mainly @ 3/25 7:21am mst

Well the turnaround that started latter last week with VELA expecting to be fueled further on new rpt.....Stock has been a letdown in March, but with increasing amount of bullish news, including the closing of acquisition earlier in month, this stands a good chance to channel back to upper end of intermediate term range .06 with a little patience......Lets not forget the explosion to .26 back in Dec when news first broke about the acquisition.......At this point going forward would have to say debate under .04 (vs under .03)........


New VELA rpt....Recall turnaround last thurs/fri....


Regarding the news: 




Investor Alert: VelaTel Global Communications: After $300 Million Education…Redemption?


As many of your know NBT (and in my past life with ChangeWave Research) has followed and endorsed VelaTel Global Communications (VELA) as an undervalued pure play on the global move to 4G-LTE networks in emerging markets.


For much of this time VELA has been a work in progress…mostly with NO progress and lots of market capital destruction. Cumulatively, VELA has spent about $300 million to come up with a

· Business strategy that works

· Strategic acquisitions that are in fact strategic and accretive

· Positive cash flow positive operations

· 20-50% CAGR for its various 4G-LTE operations


Based on my lengthy interview and meeting with CEO George Alvarez, I can report the following:


1. The NOW have a business strategy that works—they are now an experienced and profitable Mobile Virtual Network operator (MVNO) that brings highly competitive 4G MVNO technology and operating success (via their China Motion acquisition) to both Honk Kong, Taiwan and the PRC (China). MVNO is a fancy term for buying bulk wholesale minutes from incumbent mobile carriers (like Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile in the US) and reselling them in various consumer and business plans at a retail mark-up.



The MVNO strategy WORKS—it’s much less capital intensive and NOW they have the marketing and in-country marketing operation they can replicate in OTHER regions. For instance…NOW VELA will take their MVNO operating and marketing skills and create B2B and B2C MVNOs for their two 4G network development deals with $billion+ Chinese State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) NGSN and China Aerospace. THOSE MVNOs will be profitable and accretive to VELA from the get go—with little capital required.



In their old plan they would be spending tens of $millions on network equipment with ZTE…and cash flow would be years away.



MOST important—China Motion’s MVNO license is a country wide concession—most MVNOs are a carrier concession that puts the MVNO at mercy of the carrier. As a country concession, China Mobile is the only non-PRC carrier that has the right to negotiate with all the major carriers in Hong Kong/PRC and Taiwan—and issue dual number SIM cards to their users so they have both a Hong Kong and PRC mobile number.



With the PRC announcing 6 new MVNO licenses in order to bring real competition into the mobile wireless space, China Motion is in perfect position to win ONE of these national MVNO concessions. They have proven and tested MVNO customer service/back office systems and mobile carrier relations ALREADY in China…they have 10 years of successful MVNO operations and the unique ability to issue mobile numbers for users in both China and Hong Kong…a MASSIVE cost savings for business people who travel.



In short…the China Motion acquisition turns the VELA stock from an already MASSIVELY undervalue stock (based on normal multiples for MVNOs for cash flow/revenues or simply subscribers) to a stock with ....

VelaTel Closes Its Acquisition of China Motion Telecom

Acquisition of Hong Kong-Based Mobile Virtual Network Operator to Add $12+ Million to VelaTel's Revenues Over the Next 12 Months

SAN DIEGO, March 11, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VelaTel Global Communications (VELA), a leader in deploying and operating wireless broadband and telecommunication networks worldwide, announced today that it has closed its acquisition of a 100% equity interest in China Motion Telecom (HK) Ltd. for a total purchase price of approximately US$6.4 million, with US$1.6 million paid in cash and the balance in the form of a promissory note payable within six months (contract amounts are in Hong Kong dollars, with their approximate US dollar equivalents described here).
China Motion, www.cmmobile.com.hk/eng/, is the leading mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) in Hong Kong, with more than 100,000 customers. China Motion generates approximately $12 million in revenue and $2 million in EBITDA (net of certain intercompany charges) on a consistent and annualized basis over its past two years' financial statements (FYE 3/31). VelaTel will be entitled to consolidate China Motion's future results into its financial statements as of the March 1 closing date. VelaTel also intends to immediately upgrade China Motion's network operations center from 2G to 4G technology. "We expect to complete the upgrade in the next three to six months, and for this to result in a 25-50% increase in revenues by having the ability to offer customers enhanced data packages," noted VelaTel's CEO George Alvarez.
As an MVNO, China Motion partners with leading mobile carriers in the Greater China region to provide mobile wireless network services to retail customers using its own billing support systems, customer service and sales personnel. China Motion's business model focuses on frequent travelers who conduct cross-border business between Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China. China Motion is the first company in Hong Kong to offer customers a single cell phone SIM chip with dual number capability for use in either Hong Kong and China or Hong Kong and Taiwan.
The acquisition of China Motion furthers several of VelaTel's long term strategic goals. First, China Motion's access to wholesale voice and data services using the wireless network resources of incumbent carriers will allow VelaTel to begin deployment of its projects in mainland China with a fraction of the capital expenditures originally budgeted. Second, China Motion's experience and personnel in sales and marketing, customer service and billing solutions provides a platform to serve VelaTel's wireless broadband and voice networks worldwide. Third, the acquisition creates tremendous synergies with VelaTel's Europe based subsidiary Zapna, which also focuses on long distance and roaming solutions that cater particularly to the frequent international traveler. "The roaming and long distance solutions offered by China Motion and Zapna complement each other. We expect the revenues of both subsidiaries to increase as each gains exposure to customers beyond their current regional markets in Northern Europe and Greater China," remarked VelaTel's President, Colin Tay.x``xx

Toolbox

  • Set Alert fo
First China Pharmaceutical Group (FCPG) is a growing pharmaceutical distribution company generating "significant revenue" from the sale of pharmaceutical products in China, the company's Web site states.
  
Last November, FCPG announced unaudited financial results for the three-month period ended Sep. 30, 2012.
  
FCPG announced "an all new record high for sales" of $17.4M in the quarter, a 22 percent increase over sales of $14.2M in the same quarter in 2011, according to a Nov. 19 press release.
  
Gross profit for Q3, 2012 increased to $1.8M, as compared to a gross profit of $1.0M in 2011, an increase of 73 percent, according to a Nov. 19 press release. FCPG's income from operations in Q3 2012 increased by 60% compared to the same period in 2011, largely due to the company's improved management of administrative costs as sales increased, the Nov. 19 press release stated.
  
'Significant strategic advantage'
  
FCPG "has a significant strategic advantage over most of its competitors as it has acquired a 'License of Internet Pharmacy Information Service' in Yunnan Province, enabling the organization to bypass municipal and county pharmaceutical distributors and provide products directly to its pharmacy, hospital and clinic customers," the company's Web site states.
  
FCPG's short term objective is to broaden its product line from 5,000 products to 30,000 and include significantly more Western medicines as well as traditional Chinese drugs and herbs, according to the company's Web site. By expanding its product line six-fold and offering products at a lower price than major competitors, FCPG expects to be able to become its customers' primary distributor, supplying more than 80% of the pharmaceutical products they require. In addition to selling significantly more products to its 4,700+ existing customers, FCPG plans an aggressive sales and campaign to attract 5,000 new primary customers, according to the company's Web site.
  
A booming market
  
The global market for pharmaceuticals is expected to grow nearly $300B over the next five years, reaching $1.1T in 2014. Global pharmaceutical sales growth of 4 to 6% is expected this year. In 2009, the market grew 7% to reach $837B. China's pharmaceutical market is expected to continue to grow at a 20+ percent pace annually, FCPG's Web site states.
  
China is arguably the most attractive emerging pharmaceutical market, according to FCPG's Web site. Through 2013, BMI forecasts a robust annual growth rate with annual per capita spending rising from $27.60 to $54.40. Spending as a percent of GDP is expected to increase from 0.97% to 1.16%. Key drivers of market expansion are the introduction of universal health insurance, a booming economy, more chronic diseases, and an aging population. By 2018, annual pharmaceutical sales will have reached a staggering $132.7B, FCPG's Web site states.
  
A bright future?
  
"Our business model is strong and takes advantage of the government's policy to lower the cost of drugs," said FCPG's CEO, Zhen Jiang Wang in the Nov. 19 press release. "With additional capital our expanded product line and inventory holdings can fuel tremendous growth. We continue to work diligently to satisfy our customer and shareholders."
  
Could 2013 be a breakout year for FCPG?

VELA best strength from prior newsletter mentions....Momentum accelerating.10:44am EST 0.0619 0.0059 10.54% 354,450 ...Secured 12mil funding...Also reminding VELA ran to .27 back in Dec.


Recently @ www.greenbackers.com we reported on VELA funding yesterday sparking a pickup......8k notice may be bland and not seem like much, but confirms on the 12mil funding pr back in Dec which sparked the runup to .27.....Recall the conversion price of that funding was 20cents a share......
 
Under the Ironridge funding contract, VelaTel will sell Ironridge preferred shares valued at $10,000 per share, which is convertible into VelaTel’s publicly traded Series A Common Stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.20 per share. 
 
 
 
Many seem to feel the stock is once again attractive back at .05/.06
 
 

Disptie gains think the turnaround will continue into Feb, especially with the pickups we're seeing in China stocks in general....For the moment focus on dips under .06...
 
VELA10:44am EST0.0619Up 0.0059Up 10.54%354,450
 

 
Recall Last month the stock ran to .27 following that 12mil Ironbridge funding ...and on the major acquisition of China Motion last month @ an extremely advantageous price....NBT expanded in interesting detail on that acquisition: 
 
...The acquisition of China Motion Inc. from its publicly traded (HK Exchange) parent at an extremely advantageous price. I met with CEO George Alvarez in LA last week to discuss why the acquisition is so important and how they planned on paying the $5.5 million price is cash.
I’ll post a full report next week, but the short version is this:
1)      China Motion’s MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) business and longtime relationship with China Mobile and China Telecom is the PERFECT fit and structure for building out the CASC and NGSN 4G TD-LTE networks. China Motion sells SIM chips with numbers that work in BOTH Hong Kong and China...and just Hong Kong and China. For the CASC/NGSN projects that means VELA can use the MVNO structure which is OTT (over the top) of China Mobile and China Telecom’s 4G-LTE network to immediately have a 4G network up and running in China with very little CAPEX investment.
2)      The China Motion MVNO network will do $18-$20 million in revenue next year with organic growth, that is BEFORE the CASC and NGSN network revenues are added to the revenue ledger. Add in VELA operations in Peru and Croatia/Montenegro plus a >$15 million in purchase orders for Cell Tower fuel cell backup systems from their subsidiary VTech...and VELA is a $40-$50M revenue operation with REAL EBITDA cash flow
3)      How does VELA pay for the acquisition? Mum is the word from Mr. Alvarez...but clearly they would NOT have entered into such an acquisition (which is already approved by the board of the seller) WITHOUT a very clear cut plan to pay for it.
4)      The SINO Crossing fiber deal in China NOW looks like it will be a big winner as well. The network would serve as the necessary data “back haul” network for China Motion/CASC/NGSN. The back haul revenues for SINO Crossing would be at least 25% of the total network revenue for China Motion/CASC/NGSN.
5)      China Motion has a very big Shanghai MVNO network also. One can assume VELA will go after that business as well.
6)      As mentioned, the VTECH fuel cell business looks to break out any day. With partner ZTE, the VTEC fuel cell design has been approved by the Chinese government AND China Mobile/China Telecom; the Chinese Ministry MIIT has been quoted in the state news agencies as “mandating” long life power back-up for the nation’s 1 million+ cell towers. We expect the first big >$10M purchase agreement any day.

In addition to recent internal prs, NBT Equities had  been issuing bullish commentary on PLSB as well.

http://www.nbtequitiesresearch.com/report/pulse-beverage-makes-it-90-distributors-in-360-days-ohio-now-100

The Pulse Beverage Corporation ( OTCQB : PLSB ) ("Pulse"), makers of PULSE® brand of functional beverages and Cabana™ 100% Natural Lemonade, announced that it has completed distribution for its products in Ohio with the signing of L R Lipton, a large-sized Anheuser-Busch distributor, headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio. 
Bob Yates, CEO of Pulse, commented, "In addition to its Anheuser-Busch distribution, Lipton also distributes Monster Energy Drink®. The addition of Lipton positions us with 100 percent coverage in Ohio as we head into our Q1-2013 product rollout into large grocery and convenience store chains that we have secured listings for during the latter part of 2012."
That makes 90 beverage distribution deals in the last 12 months…really amazing for the beverage industry.
Congrats to Paddy and Bob…amazing!

Adobe shares rise after earnings top the Street. Adobe (ADBE) climbed 6% in post-market trading after the company's FQ4 earnings beat analyst expectations and despite it providing FQ1 and FY 2013 guidance that's lower than forecasts. Net income jumped 28% to $222.3M, adjusted EPS came in at $0.61 and revenue was flat at $1.15B. Of particular note is the growth in Adobe's cloud-based subscription services, which rose to 17% of sales.
AAPL at
iPhone 5 goes on sale in China. Only one person was standing outside the Apple (AAPL) store in Shanghai's financial district today, when the iPhone 5 went on sale for the first time in China. That's in contrast to the frenzy that accompanied the launch of the iPhone 4S. And while the new device will probably sell strongly, the lack of a deal with China Mobile (CHL), the country's largest operator, continues to hamper Apple
Haven take:
Being that its expiration Friday, AAPL put options are going to go insane if it continues to fall towards $510.

Keep in mind though, last time AAPL gapped down near $520 it made an awesome bounce back into the $530's so you have to be careful.

I'll be watching for follow thru downside in AAPL between 9:33-9:36 (the second 3 minute candle on the day), as that is something that has been missing on the last 2 gap downs.

That's well above the latter's offer of $2.90, which it made yesterday, and a cap of $2.97 that Softbank has reportedly set. In case Sprint's bid fails, Clearwire is in talks about other strategic alternatives.
