This company (traded on the Montreal, C$1.77) develops "easy to use" multimedia presentation software for consumers and for use in certain vertical markets. I feel it is a great buy at the current quote, affording venture-capital-like returns without the typical risks and lack of liquidity that usually goes along with such an investment.
For background, here's an excerpt from their web site, which is at inmediapresents.com.

*************************************************
They are projecting to be bundled with a quarter of all the digital cameras sold! For them to meet the goals in their business plan (which would take the stock to C$5 easily), all we need is for 3% of the digital camera owners to upgrade to Slides & Sound Plus. Hard to believe that 3% of folks that just paid $700 or so for a new toy would not also spend another $70 to enhance their enjoyment and utilization of it.
You can download a 30-day version of Slides & Sound for free from their web site. Would be interested to see what you think of either their software or the company. |
