Technical Analysis (Huge Upside Potential From Here)
Company Website | Recent News
We are closing out this already highly profitable week with another past double-digit winner that appears to be on the verge of bullish breakout!
Fearless Films, Inc. (FERL) should be at the top of your trading screen!
The company could become a big name in streaming content, and currently the stock is trading at less than 4 cents per share!
It is no secret that the streaming arena has been on the rise and with stay at home orders because of the pandemic, the space is on fire!
Names like Netflix, Hulu, Apple and Disney may be dominating the conversation but FERL is looking to name for itself in its own right!
Who would have thought that a decade ago our regimented television timetable, which required us to record shows if we were too busy to watch, would turn into this - a streaming bonanza that allows us to watch the stuff we love whenever we want!
We now enjoy digital binges on the internet and the next ten years is poised for continued growth in the streaming space as it attracts even more customers. We have moved from broadcast video, where everyone watched at the same time, to video-on-demand, where everyone watches on the own time.
According to Stratistics MRC, the global video on demand market was valued at $32.55 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $161.77 billion by 2027 growing at a CAGR of 19.5% over its forecast period.
Looking back, on January 15, 2007 industry leader Netflix announced that it would launch video streaming. At the time the stock price was about $3.25 per share; it closed at $485.64 on July 20, 2020. An investment in Netflix in early 2007 would be worth 150 times more today! Other big names in streaming have also shown terrific stock performance.
The problem with the streaming leaders right now is that their share prices are in the hundreds of dollars, meaning that you need you to invest thousands of dollars to get a simple 100-share lot! And just by the law of large numbers, fast gains in the stock prices are unlikely. One way to get exposure to this sector is to look to smaller names that might grow much more quickly than the leaders.
There's a stock quietly trading in the market right now at mere pennies that is positioning itself to become one of the winners from the move to streaming. If the company can successfully leverage itself as a rising name in streaming, it may deliver exciting investment returns! FERL is aiming at becoming a long-term winner in the fast growing multi-billion-dollar streaming sector!
Greater Demand for Content
Netflix is spending billions upon billions a year for their original content. According to BMO Capital Markets (h/t Variety), the company will spend $17.3 billion on 2020 content — up from $15.3 billion in 2019. Netflix has also had some expensive flops: the one-season series "The Get Down" cost $120 million and "Marco Polo" cost $200 million.
Those spending levels are formidable, but not enough - with so many platforms looking to acquire and retain subscribers, the need for content has become insatiable: FERL is on a mission to produce quality entertainment that feeds that insatiable demand.
This independent full-service production company is the brainchild of award-winning actor/ producer Victor Altomare along with award-winning writer and director Goran Kalezic!
Movie fans will recognize Victor from the Great Chameleon, Graveyard Story and the Last King. On television you may have seen him in series such as the My Ciccio show, Blue Murder or documentaries such as Mob Stories, to name a few.
Highlights of Victor's voice talent credits include the acclaimed Resident Evil: Outbreak series, including Resident Evil: Outbreak file # 2.
Victor Altomare: "The growth of streaming media has created rising demand for quality entertainment properties. Fearless Films was founded with the idea of producing quality entertainment with project budgets under $6 million. The Great Chameleon is an example of this strategy in action. We plan to advance a number of new projects that are promising and designed to meet the needs of new-era film distribution platforms."
With a stellar rating on IMDB, The Great Chameleon is a bawdy comedy with dramatic overtones in which the FBI secretly releases master of disguise con man Joe Murky (Victor Altomare) from prison to track down his abducted niece.
With the assistance of his long-time cohort and eccentric make-up artist Max; Joe Murky, aka: Great Chameleon will reach into his whole bag of tricks with his off-the-wall style of disguises as he nears his target. All the while, Murky is hampered by the overzealous parole officer Curry, who has a personal vendetta against him. The Great Chameleon is a crime story with plentiful laughs, and a fun-to-watch experience.
The film has streaming distribution through Amazon Video (UK) and is also available for rent or purchase on Amazon Video, along with Google Play, iTunes, YouTube, and Microsoft XBox platforms. Imageworks Entertainment International, the agent for the film, recently obtained US distribution via Amazon US.
It was in April that the company confirmed its ownership of full rights to The Great Chameleon and it is the first production by Fearless Films. This film forms the cornerstone of the Company's library of intellectual property!
Network TV and the box office films are trying to stay relevant and these entertainment leaders are taking a different approach now: streaming.
Many are looking to seize on the long-term trends of cord-cutting and over-the-top streaming and FERL is already on the map as a top independent producer winning accolades at major film festivals and with a keen eye for emerging talent!
