NETeller - NLR - 3.15
Thought i would start a new thread following on from
hawick - new issue looks very special - not to steal the thunder from
hawick but just to highlight the company name to those not already in to this
potential blockbuster.
Those of us who are following NETeller know the background and have been
active with postings,for newcomers i strongly sugest viewing the
( new issue looks very special posting )the content will speak for itself.
Brief overview of NETeller

40 million next year

get a grip of your nerves, large scotch
or several normally does the trick.
look at the constant gainers over last 5 days
only 11 have managed to gain over 10%
out of over 4000 companies
look back at neteller form over the last month
speaks for itself just taking a breather at present
news is not far away then should go into overdrive again

Am now home safely wrapped round large coup de rouge (not really a whisky type) fingers feeling more secure on the keyboard already.
Probably just shaking with rage I didn't get into NLR earlier. Keep waiting for it to come back to my range (anywhere below 475 - what! I hear you scoff, not in my life time). Well, I'd only need it to come back that far for say 1/2 hour, then it could go right back up again - honest. Just arrange a day and a slot and I'll be there to buy in. That, I am sure, would cure my shakes almost permanently.

The commonest reason why people don't care any more is that they are too poor to get off the floor.
Me, I struggle along in the middle, aspiring to the higher planes, but also looking for a soft landing down below if needed.
I wish you all lots of luck with NLR. I am sure it will double and more. The other powerhousees, I see most of you on anyway, ASC, SEO, KMR, FOGL, COH etc. I just don't have enough love (read dosh) to go round.
LOL

Here we are guys weve got it from Barrons...........................
Here you go (Neteller extract only due to length):
Americans have fallen in love with poker -- around the kitchen table, on television and now, inevitably, on the Internet. Fueled by the public's newfound fascination and the success of televised tournaments like the World Series of Poker, online poker has become one of the biggest, hottest, most lucrative games in the global gaming business.
PayPal and Western Union, two big payments companies, don't do business with Internet gambling sites. Neither will American Express or other U.S. credit-card issuers.
Not surprisingly, other companies have arisen to fill the void. NETeller, which is based in the Isle of Man, a tax haven located in the Irish Sea, has seen its shares triple to 600 pence on the London Stock Exchange since it went public last April at 200 pence, giving it market capitalization of 750 million, or $1.4 billion. The company gets an estimated 80% of its revenues from Internet gambling, and acts as a third-party intermediary linking the bank accounts of American players with offshore gambling sites. Once online gamblers have an account at NETeller, they can transfer money from their banks to any Web site that accepts NETeller transfers.
Gordon Herman, NETeller's CEO, says he aims to build "a worldwide money-transfer company," which currently has more than 1.2 million accounts. NETeller profits from a 3% fee charged to Internet gambling companies when funds are transferred from NETeller account holders into the gaming firm's bank account.
Moving money overseas can be cumbersome because it typically takes two to four days for funds to clear. NETeller offers instant availability of funds for an 8.9% fee, and a debit card that allows customers to gain quick access to their funds.
If NETeller can achieve its goals, its stock may continue to rise. Its share now are valued at a rich 43 times estimated earnings of $32 million for 2004, but the price/earnings ratio falls to 20 based on projected after-tax profits of $70 million for 2005. Herman deems the $70 million estimate from a British analyst to be "pretty conservative."
"NETeller has a nice business model," says Boyko of PokerPulse. "Every time people move money around, they win." Boyko notes that poker sites are becoming increasingly aggressive in marketing themselves, offering cash bonuses to new players and rewarding existing players whose friends join.
Sportingbet's Payne acknowledges the payments aspect of online poker is "cumbersome" when Americans are involved. "I could write a book on it," he quips.
It's a measure of the popularity of online poker, however, that Americans are finding their way to the Websites largely through word-of-mouth, and engaging in convoluted financial transactions to play. Given the entertainment value of online poker and the money-making opportunities for skilled players, it's a good bet that the current boom won't end any time soon.
cheers GF.
