200MPH here you could learn to knit and drive fast, lol.
Good morning to you all.
Keeping this profile short was not an easy job because there is
simply too much to be said about CraftClick.com (OTCBB:CTCK)
This company is about a vision you probably never heard of before...
about a revolution in e-commerce... about a network that unites all
people that create and all people that want these creations. Even
when you don't want to be a part of the future of this company, you
should read this, because all the links in this profile will show you
a world of original people making things with a heart, things you
could give for valentine, for your parents, your kids, things that
are all unique...
craftclick.com is the ONLY publicly-traded Arts & Crafts
Internet Portal. The Arts & Crafts industry is over $12 Billion in
the United States alone ! craftclick.com is growing
rapidly, CTCK acquired 11 other online Arts & Crafts companies in the
last couple of months. The company is also FULLY-REPORTING with the
SEC, which allows you to see inside the company and be sure of your
investment.
CTCK is building a massive network ! At this moment they have 450,000
registered users, an e-commerce site with several hundred thousand
Arts & crafts items online, an extensive project and information
library of more than 15,000 projects, more than 4,000 affiliate Web
sites, a track record of 11 acquisitions in the recent past... the
list goes on. The value of CTCK is simply unbelievable, and the
market recognition is about to occur since their market plan is in
the final stage.
CraftClick.com is also positioning itself as the ultimate virtual
exchange through its wholly-owned popular exchange portal,
buyit.com
craftclick.com is very undervalued at its current price,
and is undiscovered by the market. We expect this to change rapidly
when their story gets out, and when CMGI and other Ecompanies go to
Wall Street to IPO their own craft sites. CTCK is very well prepared
to establish itself as the absolute market leader in the field.
We rate this stock as a strong buy :
Short term target :$8
Long term target :$20
