Why not buy ftel? I figure 2 reasons depending on your camp.
1. The stock has been on a long downward spiral, folks on the technical side (who aren't intra-day short types) won't jump in until a change in direction is confirmed. Getting in now would be too early since the only established trend of late is sideways which will only result in dead money and an uncertain future. 2. Investors looking for an oil strike have not justified the risk/reward of getting in at this time. There is potential, but still too much risk with the reward horizon being constantly pushed into the distance where larger competitors may be given time to ramp up. Something else is missing from the ingredients to increase the chances of success and justify the risk to the reward. That ingredient could be money, financing or sales contracts which ensure future revenues.
By looking at the chart, I figure #1 is due to change any day now and will bring those folks on board.
#2 has been rumored to surface for some time now. I would think with the buying of the NATO network, the hiring of additional staff, the expansion of the network internationally, and increase marketing efforts, the company will have to step forward soon with an addition cash source (partner, investors, IPO, etc.). Anybody getting in before #2 is taking a great leap of faith and a big roll of the dice. Chances are, this will be what drives a major breakout of #1.
The company has announced activities in Australia/New Zealand and Europe...I imagine Asia and South America activities should be revealed in the not so distant future.
It's fixing to all come together. The stock is going to move up so fast and so high that folks won't know what to do. They're going to quickly forget all about these terrible lows and think that it will never stop going up. Anxiety will creep in as investors sweat over whether to hold or sell. History will repeat.
