Vimpel-Communications JSC (ADR) (VIP)

CAPS Rating:
*****

An open joint stock company, which offers telecommunications services.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Industry - telecom cellular.... this is my second foreign telecom cellular pick using the new Gardner Brothers method of picking stocks regardless if the market is up or down... over time I think this is a winning strategy vs market timing... plus it cuts down on trading expenses...

I've chosen yet another CAPS pick for this reason:


VIP just purchased the rights to another huge market to expand into.


I use the word "rights" loosely. VIP just paid not just pennies on the dollar, but tenths of pennies on the dollar for a corporation that had limited ability of expansion or upgrades.


Their five year plan for Cambodia includes outfitting the country with telecommunication ability like they have never seen. From my limited research the Cambodian market has only about 10% coverage. Even if that can be doubled in 2-4 years that brings millions more up to the 21st century.


They expect to see $10 per month per user income, and with 2 million users - You do the math. They expect the upgrades and expansion to cost $200m. So that is a one year payoff (generally speaking). That is a two year payoff for the stock holders.


And note - none of this includes the massive amounts of Asian tentacles they are putting out.

Even though CAPS shows only one- to five-star rankings, behind the scenes, all companies in CAPS have a distinct numerical ranking. In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
