A forgotten internet, that may have reached bottom. . . UOLP - UOL Publishing is an internet player that is in a forgotten area of internet e-commerce. . . education. They were formed in 1984 and in 1993 began to focus on online education. Looking over their website, I counted 13 college campuses so far, 33 partner education firms, 350 different curriculum, newly catagorized in 23 different course topics. As of November 1998, they delivered 100,000 courses. Some of their corporate clients include: uol.com The least bit of buying makes this pop, due to such a low float. . .[1.2 mil] . . so it can be quite volatile as a momo. . .as a SAM, it would be fairly long-term as earnings try to catch up to expansion. . .never a simple feat. UOL Publishing is an online host of virtual campuses for distance training and education programs on behalf of corporate and academic institutions. Their website is enormous and very-well designed for easy navigatoin. . . Links to their divisions: Home page:uol.com V-Campus [Virtual campuses, where corporations or academic institutions hold their own classes, with full roster and grading applications, etc.] uol.com Training:uol.com Teletutor:uol.com Knowledge Works:uol.com But some things that set this apart from other Inets. . . - They recently sold off their consulting division to focus on their core biz. On February 18, 1999, the company reported a surge in enrollment from an average of 10,000 students per month to 28,000 students per month.biz.yahoo.com Just a glance at UOL Publishing's corporate client list shows this is a heavy hitter. . .corporate clients include Lucent Technologies, Graybar, Kelly Services, Fidelity Investments, KPMG, BellSouth, Baan, Cable and Wireless, Delta and Johnson and Johnson. I was hoping this stock would continue its downward trend a bit longer, but there was such a strong support level near 3, that it popped the price right back toward 4. . .so I believe 3 to be the rock bottom. They have not received much attention by the media, or by newsletters. . .threads. . . CNBC. . . analysts. . . anyone that I can find. As I said, I think this stock has just been forgotten, but with the increased enrollments in January, I think we should begin to see increased earnings start to show up. . .as internet e-commerce goes, this one is a bit slower and more boring in a way, but with the small float, it could see a big pop on a bit of news, IMO. Rande IsNOTE - - -This is not a recommendation to buy or sell any stock. Do your own DD and never buy any stock on another persons advice. Being under 5 dollars, this stock is considered a penny stock and therefore is relatively unstable. I bought a long position at the time of this writing at 3 7/8. . . I also bought a long position for an extended family member at 2 15/16 on this past Friday [when I wanted to present this to the thread, but my computer would not allow me.]
