Pete's Money Makers

[Peter Hansen]

Errm, Pete, with all respect, but such a jump for such a low trading and relatively thinly traded stock that garners such a lot attention is, well, not surprising. The question is, is there more than heat?

Regards,

Karel

Karel all OTCBB board stocks are pure speculation , and No one knows for sure what the future will hold. I have done some research, and this stock does not seem to be some "boiler room" hype type of situation. They do have viable restuarants in several states. I have researched several websites , and all the customers appear to be happy with their meals. The founders are chefs , amd they pride themselves on using high quality ( Boars Head ) meats and no MSG, or other additives in their ingredients. Of course never bet the ranch on this type of stock.....but for some extra spec cash you may have , I think this stock could prove to be a highly profitable addition to your "spec" stock portfolio.
Karel watch the video at www.spicypickle.com I think you will be impressed .......I am already making money with this one .....and do hope to make much more....the ride to the top is never smooth, or a straight shot. An old Chinese proverb comes to mind " He who deliberates fully before taking that first step .....will spend his entire life on one leg"
Good luck and thanx for your comments......have a profitable day!

Spicy Pickle (SPKL) & Papa Johns Pizza (PZZA) ?

Years back a friend of mine approached me with a new investment stock opportunity called Papa Johns Pizza (PZZA) . I almost laughed in his face . With an Italian Pizza on every corner , and with a silly name like Papa Johns how could that stock succeed? Boy was I wrong , and he is still laughing all the way to the bank.
Of course lately PZZA has faltered because they have not adapted to the health conscious diet of many Americans.
That brings to mind Spicy Pickle ( SPKL ) a young franchise started by 2 talented chefs , surrounded by talented businesmen , all working to produce a chain of resturants that will provide tasty, healthy food that ALL people can enjoy. They have a business model 2nd to none , and I am sure they are destined for success. Watch the company video at www.spicypickle.com
I am sure you will be impressed. Could this venture fail.......in life there are No guarantees ...but I do remember the immortal words of Wayne Gretsky ( One of the greatest hockey players of all time) "You ALWAYS miss the shot you don't take"
Do have a beautiful and prosperous day!

Spicy Pickle Highlights SPKL

The information below ws obtained from the "Small Cap Network" site. Once again again the whole SPKL story is on a 10 minute video , and well worth watching at www.spicypickle.com

As of right now there are 26 of these franchised 'quick and casual' restaurants in operation, but 14 more are under construction. The company thinks they could add 40 more in 2008, and even more on an annual basis after that. Folks, that's about a 100% annual growth rate.

At the end of this year Spicy Pickle will only have one company owned store. The guys at Spicy Pickle have focused much of their attention on franchising, so they can focus on building and expanding the brand. And, the numbers behind the franchise model look really good (i.e. fruitful for shareholders).

Within their franchise model, there are two basic revenue streams. Spicy Pickle collects a one-time $35,000 fee from each new franchisee (and/or $17,000 for subsequent stores owned by the same person). And, they collect 5% of each store's monthly sales in perpetuity. On top of that, they receive about a 2% rebate from each store's suppliers (soft drinks, meat, etc.). With the average Spicy Pickle storefront doing about $700,000 a year, each unit adds about $50,000 per year to the corporation's annual revenue. How long do they get to collect that revenue? Forever. Let me repeat that - forever.

The other thing to keep in mind about the revenue model is something I already mentioned. There are 26 up and running, 14 units under construction, and there are 40 more waiting to start construction. Let's just call it 80 stores by the end of 2008. At that point, we're talking about $4.0 million in recurring annual royalties and rebates - with huge margins. As same store sales improve, so too will the royalties. (And again let's not forget the one-time franchise fee is also booked as revenue.)

By the way - and this is the exciting part - the current burn rate is about $200K per month. I estimate when they get about 45 stores up and running, they'll be able to cover all their overhead, and start generating positive cash flow. This is likely to happen sometime in 2008...just around the corner.


As far as capitalization is concerned, this is one of the most investor-friendly I've ever seen (and I've seen a lot). There are about 12.2 million shares in the float, and 45 million outstanding. The current market cap is right at $31.3 million when shares are at 69 cents. There's no debt. Potential dilution? Don't worry about it ....there are no warrants or convertibles, and only a few employee options. What a breath of fresh air!

Like I said though, I think the real value of Spicy Pickle's lies in its recurring income and strong margins. You know what the annual payment would be on a $30 million annuity paid out over a span of thirty years? At an average return of 12% per year, the annuity would only pay $3.3 million per year. That's a far cry from the kind of numbers SPKL could be producing in just a few short years, and they'd be doing it forever.

Obviously this is an equity and not an annuity, and includes all the risks involved. But, the rewards built into the model seem to be incredibly enticing.


Is the Spicy Pickle the new McDonald's? Nobody can say for sure, but I do know the growth has already been superb, and appears as if it will actually accelerate over the next few years. I also know that waiting for any company to hit its peak is also a recipe for missing out on the best periods of growth for the stock...it's just too late then - the market has doled out the lion's share of the rewards.

TLK "Indonesia Calling"

Perusahaan Prsn (TLK) closed on 10/5/07 $53.97 and is UNDERVALUED according to Vector Vest and it should be valued at $79.63. P/E is 17.07, earnings Yield is 5.86 (Above Average)
Cell phones are coming of age in Indonesia and TLK has cornered the market in that country. Tlk has :

1) Massive growth from a technological revolution

2) Indonesia is a fast growing economy that can supports strong increases in consumer spending

Why buy TLK? Answers:

1) Indonesia is an untapped market with HUGE PROFIT potential.
2) Sustained dominance within its market
3) A government friendly to TLK
4) very favorable economic conditions
5) It is underpriced according to Vector Vest

Most important are the following reasons:
1) Its majority owned by the Indonesian government and opeates as a MONOPOLY ( I like that) in control of 90% of the populations fixed lines and almost the entire country's wireless network.
2) TLK has every license available for ALL the telecommunications
including 3G wireless.
3) It is virtually IMPOSSIBLE for a foreign competitor to enter the market. T-mobile and Verizon.......Stay home!!
4) Mobile phones growing by an astounding 70% annually
5) TLK has a HYBRID system The technology allows a fixed wireless receiver to provide telephone service and other wireless transmisions.
6) TLK already has and owns all the wireless infrastructure in place over the entire country, and estimates that marginal profit for each unit sold will be (Hang on to your hats) 70%.
7) 70% of the revenue for every phone sold will flow back to the company!

Spicey Pickle SLOW WEEK

Perhaps SPKL had risen too far .....too fast.......but a pullback was inevitable. I spoke to a Mr Brian Cerise who is in charge of real estate and new franchisees . He said they were looking for property in Manhatten.....but so far one deal fell through in the Union Station section......but the search continues.
I will give SPKL some additional time........but I always remember that advice to "Never Marry A Stock" and that dead money in the market is a losing proposition.
I did check some reviews and all seemed favorable .....and said they would go back for the food......Check out the reviews on the following site!

Pete,
I ate at the Spicy Pickle today in Cincinnati. Just across the street from University of Cin. campus and talked to the franchisee/manager. They have the rights to all future SPKL in the city. She previously managed the Chipotle on the other side of the street. They've got about $500,000 invested campared with 1 million for a Chipotle she said. Reminds me of a small scale Panera and it is without frills, they plan it that way. They have a catering business that is now accounting for 50% of the Cincinnati business. Her father or father-in-law is an investment banker for I believe she said the Huntington Bank and they are steering lots of clients into SPKL. Cost was 6.96 for a sub or a paninni pressed sandwich. I recommend getting it toasted, the sub that is. Logo and decor consists of 3 large pickle barrel signs . One shows a guy riding a scooter, he represents one of the founders, a chef. Another barrel shows a hippie type character playing a guitar, he represents the other founder, also a chef. The manager told me they have a franchising expert , who built a 1000 franchise business for someone I can't remember. It seems to have possibilities even if it's hype that lasts only a couple years.
