Position Updates: MVIS, HANS
It is my belief that anyone who buys stocks soley by looking at the chart is flying blind and is probably mentally ill. However, if I was one of those guys, I'd say MVIS has a pretty handsome chart. But, lucky for me and you, I did some hw too. Here goes.
- Internal plans to embed a mini projector inside a cellphone is for late '08.
- The company will unveil a Picop projector on January 7th or 8th, 2007 that is 10x smaller than previous prototype.
-No exclusivity deals yet. The company is holding out for a sweeter deal.
-The company intends to start a beta trial on a "stand alone" projector that would be used as an accesory to mobile devices, such as video iPods, cellphones etc. Starting retail price @ $300 will gradually come down, as volume picks up. Margins will be in the 30% range.
-Timeline on HUD is for late '08.
- If the stock price closed at or above $5.30 for 20 days, the company has the right to call 13 million warrants @ $2.65. In other words, they would receive 34.45 million dollars.
Considering their need for cash, I feel the company has one heck of an incentive to see its shares trade above $5.30. Also, I anticipate some positive press, prior to the company "unveiling" its new Picop in early January. And, finally, look for headline grabbing licensing deals with a big cellphone manufacturer-- should the company report significant progress in developing the Picop.
