ITAC
Now, we want to get to the meat and potatoes of this short edition, which
has to do with ITAC. We have been following Intacta Technology for months,
since it was $2/share. We first noticed it in our research into wireless.
ITAC announced last November 5th of the release of their new e-mail and
fax communications software suite called MobileCE. We quote, "MobileCE was
developed to respond to the enterprise need for robust mobile
communications capabilities. The suite works with all handheld and mobile
computing applications based on the Windows CE Operating System."
Recently, SSHIA had the opportunity to see, in person, their technology
in action. No, this wasn't the MobileCE software. It was a related
technology of compression and security (encryption).
If you read our research report on ITAC, then you know they compress
files and send them compressed, which is great for wireless, which has a
narrow bandwidth. By compressing the text (or audio or video) files,
ITAC's technology can transmit whole web pages to wireless devices in a
fraction of the time it takes without this compression. The transmission
is also encrypted and features error correction, correcting "drop out" via
wireless.
NOW TO OUR POINT
If you are still not up to speed on ITAC, go back to the archives and
read our primer on ITAC's technology. Right now, we would like to let you
know that on ITAC's most recent trip to New York City, SSHIA got the
opportunity to see some of their technology work and he was mesmorized
with it.
You have heard of MP3? This is the technology to download music from the
internet. Now, imagine a piece of paper with ITAC's encrypted pattern on
it. It is not readable, and looks like a dot matrix pattern. You scan this
into your computer and voila, the computer reads it and plays music for
you. Or, it reads text.
Do you see the applications? With this technology, which is patented,
newspapers can "read" to you. Books can, too.
Wall Street has no idea what this company does. We do. When the story
comes out, ITAC, we believe, will be huge. Keep in mind this is a patented
technology. It is real. It is here. It works.
You could go to a foreign country, pick up a newspaper, and by scanning
ITAC's encrypted page into your computer, have the text read to you in
English or any other language.
Do you see how ITAC could make alliances with the biggest newspapers in
the world? They could make deals with publishers. Do you realize how great
this technology is for blind people? ITAC can compress an entire page of
the Wall Street Journal, for example, into one 4 x 4 inch grid.
Future
We expect the next 12 months to be very excited for ITAC. However, this
does not mean the stock will rocket right now. It has gone over $3.50
recently. More big news is that it is now a fully reporting company.
NASDAQ Soon?
As a fully reporting company, we expect to see ITAC on the NASDAQ in the
next 12 months.
Getting The Story Out
ITAC has also recently embarked on an aggressive campaign to sell their
story to Wall Street.
No Guarantees
It is our opinion that the stock could be big. We have bought some shares
and like it in our portfolio. Do you'r own due diligence.
No Day Traders
You should know our stock picks already, that they are for the long term.
Many people lately have been sending us E-mail debating our stock picks,
but readers who are patient with our picks and wait out the storms, have
been greatly rewarded.
