TLAN - A Company Thriving In A Difficult Environment

It's not often you get to buy a stock at $.0036 that has annualized revenue of almost $5 million. That revenue is growing, and the company sits right on the verge of profitibility. Hire International (Ticker: TLAN) is heading in the right direction, and their stock looks like it is starting to as well. Assets have grown close to $300,000 in the last year, while liabilities have dropped by an even bigger figure of roughly $500,000. The company posted a minuscule loss in its most recent quarter, but more impressively if you follow the net income trend, TLAN should be profitable in the next quarter. I think this will be reflected in the share price as the company and its stock get noticed by investors.

TLAN has been in a steady down trend since earlier this year when the stock was trading as high as $.055. The last few days volume has started to pick up, and the stock looks to be working its way higher. At some point I think this stock could start to post some nice gains and make its way back over $.01 and beyond.

TLAN (Hire International, Inc) is a global provider of Talent Acquisition and Talent Management Solutions. Primarily operating in the United States and in the People's Republic of China, Hire International provides world class permanent placement recruiting, contingent staffing, employee leasing and benefits management services, and proprietary talent acquisition technology solutions to small, medium sized businesses and multi-national corporations in the United States and the People's Republic of China. The Company currently has operations in Texas, Florida, Beijing, and Shanghai China.

The company also continues to stay up-to date with its filings and reports. You have to like that about any Pink Sheet stock. Transparency, meaning they have nothing to hide. They have a current information with Pink Sheets, the highest level aside from SEC reporting.

Your problably asking yourself: "Isn't the unemployment rate almost 10%? How does that make Hire International a stock to watch?" Well you know there is something good going on with this company when they can prosper in one of the toughest labor markets of our time. Not only is TLAN, Hire International, prospering, they are on the verge of profitability. They have done this by focusing on lucrative markets and cutting back expenses. Also having exposure to foreign job markets such as China shows the type of management that is behind this company.

In September Hire International announced an acquisition that gives them even more exposure to China. The company bought a minority stake in HLNY for TLAN restricted stock valued at $.05 a share and cash considerations. This is what CEO Jeremy Stobie had to say about the move: ""This acquisition will provide Hire International with a firm foothold in Beijing and it is part of our strategy focusing on business on an international level with China being our primary market initially. We believe that our partnership with HNLY will further expand our offerings in China in partnership with a domestic Chinese company, rather than from a multinational representative office. HNLY is an established player in the Chinese technology market, and we are proud to call them one of our new Partners,". That $.05 share valuation only a few months ago is just another example of just how undervalued TLAN is. TLAN right now is at $.0036, just to get back to that valuation price would mean TLAN posts an almost 2,000% gain.

TLAN's impressive revenue numbers, growing assets, and shrinking liabilities make this an attractive stock going forward. Investors were willing to pay $.055 a share for this stock back in May, and it now rests at $.0036, with the potential for a nice rally going forward. I think once investors see the value in these shares, they could head back over $.01 and beyond.

If TLAN is not on your watch list, I think it deserves a hard look going forward.
