Here is an interesting thought: Back in May when the first version of the site was released the stock price jumped to $8 a share! Compare the situation at that time with the current one.

THEN:
1. The web site was barely functional

NOW:
The web site is fully functional with essentially universal praise for all of its capabilities plus Version 3 well on the way with new features.

THEN:
2. The company had the associations with the reputable companies i.e. Unz, Zagoren, Dow Jones, Royal Impressions. But there was essentially no history for PNLK and their ability to do what they promise.

NOW:
We have now seen numerous examples of statements made, ALL of which have come true.

THEN:
3. It was not at all clear (even though it seems like a good idea) that the concept would really fly and there was no obvious confirmation by established leaders in the import export business that PNLK was really a good business plan.

NOW: PNLK has received a strong endorsement from a major player in the business. They have been praised as having the best site for their stated purpose on the web even though the most commonly mentioned competition, "Trade Compass", is listed on the Customs Brokers et. al's website as a "Useful Link".

THEN:
4. There was no obvious promotion or marketing of the site except for the press releases.

NOW: State of the art live discussion ON THE INTERNET on the Stockgenie site with more to follow; Major e mail campaign has been launched, copy of this has been posted on SI.; MAJOR ad on the front page of what is probably the key industry daily publication with 4.5 million readers; direct mail campaign is in progress,a description of this has also been posted on SI by me. Trade shows are also being used.

THEN:
5. Stock was being hyped like crazy based on a lot of wild speculation.

NOW: Most of the posts are based on solid facts a actual information from the company. Plus all the above mentioned things.

THEN:
6. The potential of E commerce was just starting to be noticed.
NOW:
E commerce is being promoted and discussed by many major reputable sources : U.S. dept of commerce is actively promoting it; Last week there was a very positive discussion on Wall Street Week about how this is going to be the big wave in future business; Many articles in the Journal of Commerce about the promise of E commerce and how "businesses which do not utilize it will perish" (a recent article). Plus the internet continues to grow especially in countries outside of the US which can only help a U.S. based inport export company.

THEN:
7. PNLK was just another OTC BB stock which by default gives it a shady reputation.

NOW:
PNLK has proven they are not just another OTC BB stock and are beginning to get more widespread attention everyday.

THEN:
8. No concrete news on how the company is doing or who any alleged new partners might be.
NOW:
Subcription numbers to come out by the end of the month as stated by Glenn Zagoren to numerous people, plus information about to come out on new alliances in the works.

Well, if you ask me, when you compare THEN to NOW, I think the upside potential for this company in the near future is pretty impressive. If you look at how fast it climbed up to 8 points on nothing more than some press releases, imagine what it may do NOW! I would not be surprised to the the $12-14 projected by Stockadvisor to be hit sooner than people think. It almost seems to me like this company is kind of like a volcano which is about to erupt with pressure building to the breaking point any day now. What ever happens, I am not selling ANYTHING any time soon.
