The upside potential of this stock is incredible. With a Portal opening, revenues will ramp up even more and as the cost of sales decrease. Advantex makes money, and should have a much higher market cap then it currently does.
What's the matter with this picture?
Check out the technicals below and see that MYPT is a comparable company that doesn't generate as much revenue. They lost $35 million dollars and had revenue of only $10.9 Million in nine months reported.
Advantex is a portal like MYPT Share Price $60.50 USD/ $87.60 CND MyPoints.com, Inc., .
They both target the same audience... BUT MYTP doesn't have the power of one of the largest Canadian Banks CIBC & The Largest Airlines Air Canada+ Advantex = $$$$.
MYTP has less revenue. For the nine months ended 9/30/99,revenues totalled $10.9 million, up from $574 thousand. Net loss applicable to common totalled $35.4 million, up from $4.9 million. Revenues reflect increased direct marketing offers. Higher loss reflects a $9.8 million Preferred dividend. Read this exerpt from the press release below:

Advantex Marketing International Inc. Announces Shareholder Protection Rights Plan
ADX: TSE
TORONTO, Oct. 29 /CNW-PRN/ - Advantex Marketing International Inc. (the ''Corporation'') (TSE: ADX - news) announced the adoption by its Board of Directors of a Shareholder Protection Rights Plan (the ''Plan''), similar to those recently adopted by many other Canadian corporations. The Corporation is concerned that the current legislation does not provide sufficient time for the Board and shareholders of the Corporation to properly evaluate a takeover bid or pursue alternatives with a view to maximizing shareholder value. The Plan seeks to ensure that all shareholders of the Corporation have an equal opportunity to participate in the benefits of a takeover bid.
The Plan does not attempt to discourage bids. It allows a potential bidder to make a ''permitted bid'' directly to the shareholders of the Corporation without the prior approval of the Board. Such permitted bid must be made to all shareholders and must remain open for a minimum period of 75 days. During this period, no tendered shares may be acquired by the bidder. The Plan also allows for a ''competing permitted bid'' to be made while the permitted bid is in existence.
The Plan is effective immediately, and will be submitted to shareholders of the Corporation at the annual and special meeting convened for December 9, 1999. The Plan will expire on the second anniversary of the date of the Plan.
Neither the Board nor management of the Corporation is aware of any pending or contemplated takeover bid for the Corporation.
