ICTL - International Commercial Television Inc.

There were no recent threads for this company so I thought I would start a new one. Obviously I own some shares of ICTL.  Bought them last month because my mom, wife and mother-in-law all use and like one of their products.

At first glance the company appears to be scrapping along the bottom after a fall from grace that included some SEC problems involving incorrectly reported income.  Nothing in the technicals shows this as a stock to buy. This was a gut instict buy based on my family liking the Dermawand.  My mother-in-law bought hers from Shop NBC. My mom bought hers from the product's website and my wife bought from the company's listing on Amazon.  There used to be an infomercial but I don't think it is running now

International Commercial Television's last quarterly report showed a minimal profit and they are $200,000 in the hole for the year.  Not that exciting but better than losing like 3/4 of a million last year.  They also just announced that the CFO responsible for the turnaround is now the company President.

I just have a sense that if the past problems were going to put them out of business, it would have happenned by now. Could be a company about to be on the move.  Yes, it is bottom fishing, but I like catfish and flounder.

Lots of hot news from this company courtesy of there Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/ICTVONLINE 

Seems that they just did a trade show in Vegas and came away with international orders for over 3 20' shipping containers of the Dermawand.  Plus they will be launching the new Dermawand infomercila in the US in late October.  They sold over a million units with the old infomercial.  Looks like goodtimes ahead.

Also seem to be some business developing with two of their other products.

22,628 Dermawands sold at a trade show. @$125 retail, that has to still be a good wholesale profit.  The product aired 7 times on ShopNBC last week.

Plus they set an Oct. 22 date for the new TV commercial.  Over 1,000,000 Dermawands sold with the last commercial.

Stock hit $0.175 today.  Daily volume was steady for the last week.  I am guessing that it has something to do with this recent announcement:

ICTL has been bouncing back to profitability based on domestic home shopping sales.  Adding in the German shopping channel should put them solidly in the black.

Just hit a 52 week high at $0.25. Guess somebody thinks they will start making money. They are about to launch a new infomercial for the Dermawand.  The Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/ICTVONLINE has a link to the video of the full commercial.  Pretty slick with out being a BS pitch.  Even promotes the stock @ the end.

An 800% increase in quarterly profits.  http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1076522/000114036111053427/form10q.htm

300% return on new Dermawand infomercial.  They did a facebook post of a press release with details about the test of the new Dermawand commercial.  The bottom line was that for each advertising dollar spent, they got $3 in sales.  I read some where that at 2:1 is the usual breakeven point for infomercials so 3:1 has a decent profit margin.  Should lead to an even greater increase in earnings now that the reorganized company is making a profit after covering all its fixed costs.  Running the infomercial is just a matter of covering variable costs and the rest is straight profit.

Just hit $.28.  Going to have to search for some news.

$300,000 test run of the infomercial created $1,000,000 in sales.  Here is the press release: http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/300000-Media-Test-Confirms-New-DermaWand-Infomercial-Is-a-Hit-PINKSHEETS-ICTL-1612743.htm

If they can scale this up it should be a great thing.

Holding steady in the mid twenties.  Cents that is.  About time for them to issue another press release and year ends should be next month.  Hopefully this will give the stock a boost.

Hit a 52 week high this week and had a new product launch.  Hit $0.30 but ebde the week at $0.28.  They started testing a ne product called Slender Lift.  Here is a link to the press release: http://news.yahoo.com/slender-lift-tests-live-home-shopping-dermawand-rolls-154227411.html

The bottom line is that there are real products being sold with growing sales.

Another new 52 week high.  ICTL hit $0.40 before dropping back to $0.38.   There have been no new news or financial reports.  Somebody must know something I don't.

A new product called Glo-b's getting ready to go according to their most recent press release:

They keep bringing more sources of income to the table.  This might not be a mining or energy stock with huge claims but there is something to be said for a company that makes its money selling real products.

International Commercial Television has a Million Dollar Week

A million dollars in international sales is a big deal for a company of this size.  Hopefully the good news will continue to flow with profitability on the horizon!
