Am i the only one wondering why Adult Shop hasnt climbed since its last announcement? Just a bad market for announcements? Small Cap gone cashflow positive with high growth rate, increasing cash in bank etc?
Looking over the booksover the last two years. The turn around is quite spectacular. They have gone from bleeding money fast, to cashflow positive with a high growth rate. Now cashed up and looking to expand.
What has happened seems simple reading between the lines of Malcom Day. It seems that selling adult products online and through a number of retail outlets is not quite as lucrative as internet porn sites. Although the company has been discrete about the nature of its websites, I would have to assume that the real money isnt coming from search engines. The company, through its subsidery "Today's Success" announces they have aquired more websites of undisclosed nature....the company starts finding a source of much cash.
The ethics are debatable, however after watching I have finally comitted some cash to the first speculative share in 3 years. This one though is cashflow positve and actually undervalued because it is small cap, not over valued. Also been noting small caps outperforming blue chips on US markets for a few months now. as for the ethics, plenty of buyers out there, so doubt my smaller stake will make a huge diff.
