It is no secret that IHI is one of my favorite long term investing themes.  While an aggressive, high risk, high reward investment, I nonetheless strongly believe that this will be one stellar company.  In this posting section, I have put together previous and current IHI postings.

3 Critical Milestones

3. IHI announcing that they have ordered Robotic equipment for their Delta Factory March 12.

READER: I returned from my 3+ week exciting India trip a week ago. Having met some Yogi psychics/face readers in South India I inquired about the future of my investment in IHI and when will it's share price "reach to the stars"? Of course, I also consulted again with my astrology gurus and this time we made a couple of Horary charts as the question was worth $100K to me (which for me is a major investment ever in a single stock)! Well, I am pleased to say I had some wonderful experiences with these learned souls.
It is because of my own destiny and past "karmas" that I have been fortunate enough to seek out IHI, and most interestingly that the divine science of Astrology led me to IHI. The conclusion: IHI will "reach to the stars" within 2 years and 9 months to be exact -- that could mean perhaps $10/share or perhaps $100+..... How high are the stars? High enough for me to buy another 50,000 shares ... and I've informed all my family and friends to seize this opportunity.
HW: I have also done the same for my family and friends.
PS Whether you use Chinese Astrology, Vedic Astrology or Western Astrology, the results are the same: IHI has the cosmic potential to become a "one decision stock" like Microsoft.

We are expecting news of Robotic ordering shortly.  Thereafter, with factory production imminent, a $4+ stock price should follow and their Nasdaq listing becomes inevitable in the intermediate term. If I could choose only one holding in 2000, be it gold, bonds, an Internet stock like Yahoo or IHITF, it would be the latter.  Of course, I never recommend putting your eggs in one basket, but the potential of this basket I have long foreseen and forecast to be huge.

[2/15] Yesterday IHI announced a $5 private placement for a second production line. Initially, we estimated $3.25 a share earnings in 3 years, $11 a share earnings in five years. With this accelerated introduction of  their second production line, our estimates may be too conservative. This is NOT an internot company, but a real 21st century high technology (applied robotics) powerhouse if we are right in our analyses.

[3/13] On all counts IHITF and V.IHI seem ready for a breakout. We see record volume, record number of trades, 50 day moving average firmly above 200 day MA etc. It seemed last week that major shorts came into the market starting at CD$1.90 the KEY break out number. After 2.00 Canadian, a quick double at the minimum is expected.  Currently, we have the critical 1.60 (last year's high), 1.90 and 2.00 as Final resistance.
Once the stock is over $1.40 US, the market moves to the US decision makers where we forsee $3, $4 and $5 rapidly met as stock supply will no longer be able to keep us with stock demand i.e. each day IHI moves closer to production.

Intermediate Term, we are on a Nasdaq listing countdown.
Almost all of IHI stock is in strong hands today, after last year's extensive Tax loss selling.  IHI is a technology stock that is about to be (re)discovered and is ready to move.  Technically IHITF is rapidly gaining strength, and accumulation on increasing volume is accelerating. We see $1 US becoming the floor and IHITF stock moving up rapidly on positive news in one dollar increments up to $4 to $5.

READER: Just looking at IHI chart- it has all the makings of a roar. Broken through it's long term resistance and going up on great volume- could be an exciting week
HW: I agree. It looks ready to explode up.

READER: It looks as if IHI could go for a run up the week of the 22nd March- although my accountant has just told me not to sell anything else before the end of March- the end of our tax year because thanks to you, my income has increased so much I need to adjust what I owe in provisional tax the next year greatly upwards- thanks!!
HW: I believe you will be able to sell your IHI trading positions closer to US $5. Personally, I hope ALL my platinum subscribers have similar tax "problems" to yours! :)

A WSNW reader wrote "Why am I so bullish? Well you see, Roger's natal Saturn aspects 10th career house and coupled with transit Saturn aspecting natal Mars (Mars being current Dasha lord) has been the cause of the delays and obstacles.  Roger is soon to start his RAHU maha-Dasha, and the materialistic Rahu conjunct Sun in Leo causes two powerful Raj-Yogas of the 9th house of good fortune, coupled with a trigger of a powerful Neech-Bhanga Raj-Yoga in the 10th house is the reason WHY I AM SO BULLISH!
PS I have done PURELY ONLY astrological analysis on 8 companies and so far I am up on average 700% and locked in profits (And only Two of them are Internet related!)"
HW: I was initially going to write a lot about IHI, but I think the above astrological analysis is sufficient.  February is a seasonal positive for IHI, and another reason we made it our Microcap February Stock of the Month Pick.  International Hi-Tech Industries (IHITF) merits a close watch by fundamental, technical and astrological analysts as well as a potential winner for both short term traders and long term investors.

READER: The only thing that separates IHI from success is a few million dollars for the robotics needed to put the first manufacturing line into production.  I don't understand how such a relatively small amount of money can be so difficult to acquire.  At full capacity, the first factory is expected to generate profits of U.S. $2 million a month per shift.  Why doesn't management focus all its effort and attention to get the money needed to launch this juggernaut?
HW: I agree and it is my understanding that Roger is doing JUST that.

READER: I am somehow confusing IHI and IHITF.  Are they inter-related? For a while I thought they were the same, and "IHI" was used for a shortened symbol for IHITF. But both were mentioned in your latest bulletin.  I have owned some IHITF for quite sometime, thinking it is the one that has been recommended for medium to long-term.
HW: Yes, on Canada International Hi-Tech Industries trades on the CDNX as IHI, while on the US Bulletin Board it trades as IHITF.  It remains a strong buy for intermediate/long term accumulation. I do not refer to IHI (NYSE) or Information Holding which I do not track and therefore cannot intelligently comment on.

READER: Is IHI now taking orders and approximately how far away is their ordering of robotics?
HW:  Order taking has never been an IHI problem - order fulfillment has and will be the key. Their placing orders for robotics is long over due. It could be tomorrow, next week, next month or ?  On a positive note, like computers, the cost of robotics is decreasing, while the quality is increasing.  This will  be a great benefit to applied robotic companies like IHITF.
READER: I agree with you on inflation. How do we take advantage, silver calls?
HW: Previously, the best way was shorting Bonds. This quarter, we believe the best way is to buy small cap stocks like our AFUND Client stocks e.g. IHITF and WAMEX. Gold or Silver is second best.

READER: Are you still bullish on this stock (IHI)?
HW: I am holding it with cautious optimism and buying for a few clients at these bargain basement prices.

READER: Why is IHI not moving?  I guess I know.  I have a problem with the way they have published their view of the facility progress.
HW:  Yes factory progress is abysmally slow.  Well I suppose good things take time. :)

READER: Re: IHI Story, I just wondered if that was current?
HW: It was written 10/25 and we plan a year end update. Currently its stock is being pressured by year end tax selling.  IHI stock is close to bottom levels and while the company's progress remains considerably slower than we would like, this also creates an attractive long term buying opportunity.

READER: Which IHI stock should I buy?
HW: It is the same stock and both markets track each other. The professional way to enter an order is either by price limit or if a market order, then direct it to "the cheaper of the two markets" OTCBB or CDNX.

READER: When do you think we will see the first uplift in IHI price again?
HW: Technically the stock is oversold and ready to move up 20-25%. Fundamentally, it is waiting on the news of Robotic equipment installation and plant production.  So we expect one move before February and another about four months later. Astrologically, I wish the company was working from the Bermuda chart and NOT the Vancouver one, but that may change in 2000.

READER: [Feb Stock of the Month Picks] yuck!....penny stocks...
HW: Laidaw is North America's #1 bus operator, while we believe IHITF has a stellar future. Microsoft, as I am sure you remember, was once a "penny stock".

READER: In your latest comments, you have indicated that IHITF, DCHT, etc. are good for the last free ride on the Titanic.  Are you saying that these stocks will correct along with a major market correction that you forecast in May?
HW: I don't know. I am raising cash and rotating stocks and holding core assets regardless of whether a crash comes. I believe in holding undervalued assets that will outperform.  IHITF is certainly that.  DCHT's value is between 5-6. Note by using this measure, IBM is NOT worth 115, but under 60.  So it is a matter of personal choice.

READER: As an IHI stockholder, I am interested in knowing what you mean that when the Bermuda chart of IHI becomes dominant, the result will be positive for the stock price. Also, I would like to know how this will affect investors like myself who hold stock in IHITF.OTC. Will new stock shares be issued for the subsidiary? Or, will the current investors in IHITF automatically hold shares in the subsidiary?
HW: IHI is expected to be split into two companies, one purely Canadian, the other for the rest of the world.  The latter has the chart I love (and just two days after my wedding chart). Current IHI shareholders are expected to receive 72% of Bermuda shares for a nominal cost.

READER: On your IHI Horoscope page, you mention that IHI's original name was White Horse. However, after e-mailing the company, investor relations told me that it was Wild Horse. Whose error?
HW: Ours.  Original incorporation on February 16, 1987 was under the name "Wild Horse Industries Inc."

READER: I don't see anything about IHITF in the last WWNW, and I don't see it in the stock selections of 10/25. Just curious I guess.
HW: Dont want to be a broken record.  The stock is super cheap and while delayed and delayed, it represents TOP aggressive speculative value.
What can we say but repeat our "Strong Buy" recommendation?

READER: Re: IHI Story, I just wondered if that was current?
HW: It was written 10/25 and we plan a year end update. Currently its stock is being pressured by year end tax selling.  IHI stock is close to bottom levels and while the company's progress remains considerably slower than we would like, this also creates an attractive long term buying opportunity.

READER: Which IHI stock should I buy?
HW: It is the same stock and both markets track each other. The professional way to enter an order is either by price limit or if a market order, then direct it to "the cheaper of the two markets" OTCBB or CDNX (VSE).

READER: Are you still bullish on this stock (IHI)?
HW: I am holding it with cautious optimism and buying for a few clients at these bargain basement prices.

READER: Could you let WSNW readers know when you are updating report on IHI?
HW: Last week they received 1.5 million in new bank financing. I am waiting for the robotic equipment leasing and ordering to be announced before updating.
