company responsible for helping
many online merchants become so
profitable.
      With so many new ventures going
online each year, Imergent has cus-
tomers busting down its doors to get
a piece of the action. Last year alone,
IIG served over 150,000 entrepreneurs
and small business owners.
Support… training… profits By offering a wide range of sup- port and training, IIG helps retailers
launch their business on the
Internet. The company’s products
and marketing couldn’t be any sim-
pler. First, IIG offers a complimenta-
ry 90-minute Internet training semi-
nar that helps clients determine if e-
commerce is right for them.
      More often than not, it is. The next
step is an intense 8-hour training
seminar. Here, clients learn more of
the techniques they need to trans-
form their brick-and-mortar company
into an e-commerce success.
      The genius of IIG’s system comes
at the end of this seminar. After the
attendees learn how to launch and
operate a retail website, IIG offers
them a license to use its
StoresOnline and website develop-
ment software. When clients pur-
chase this license, they are entitled
to a multitude of support services
that will further enhance their new
e-business.
      Because IIG’s clients are then
aware that through IIG’s services
they can have a distinct advantage
over their competitors, they’re will-
ing to cough up a hefty price to get
in on the action. IIG charges hun-
dreds of dollars just to attend its
seminars. The price of the compa-
ny’s software and support systems
balloons from there.
      The company’s astounding finan-
cials prove the strength of its prod-
ucts and marketing.

With a market capitalization of just US$161 million, IIG is a little tike com-
pared with some of the multibillion-
dollar behemoths out there. But there
is nothing small about its potential.
This company is growing fast.
      For 2005, revenues are expected
to hit US$116 million. But as a real
gauge of IIG’s potential, its revenue
forecast for 2006 is US$138 mil-
lion—an 18% increase.
IIG’s potential certainly doesn’t stop there. Earnings per share is
expected to grow to US$0.96 this
year. By 2006, that figure is estimat-
ed to jump 25% to US$1.19.
      But what really makes IIG so irre-
sistible is its incredible value.
      The average price-to-earnings
ratio for IIG’s industry is 45.52. But IIG
has a P/E ratio of just 13.75. That’s
less than a third compared to its com-
petitors.
      But of all the fundamentals, my
favorite by far is IIG’s price-to-earnings
growth ratio (PEG). To determine a
PEG ratio, simply divide a company’s
P/E ratio by its growth estimate.
      It’s is a great way to determine a
company’s real value. A fairly valued
company will have a PEG ratio of 1.
If the number is higher, it is overval-
ued. If it’s lower, it’s undervalued.
Simple as that.
      IIG’s PEG ratio is a remarkably
low 0.54. This stock is selling for half
what it should be.
      But I don’t expect IIG to stay so
grossly undervalued for long. It’s
already showing signs of taking off.
The stock recently crossed both its
50-day and 200-day moving aver-
ages—a great indicator of a stock’s
trend. And when IIG crossed both
moving averages in the same week,
it proved it’s not hanging around.

      Judging by current trends, it
appears that yields will continue to
rise as the US Federal Reserve contin-
ues with its “measured pace” of inter-
est rate increases.
      Short-term yields remain pretty
robust, receiving a boost from the
strong April job report and retail
sales. The surprising 9.2% drop in
the March trade deficit—the biggest
monthly fall in three years—didn’t
hurt either.
      Longer-term, the economic picture
is a little unclear, given that a few eco-
nomic areas are still rather volatile
and unpredictable. So shorter-term
CD’s could be the best place to park
your money for now if you want a
quick, healthy return.
