Interesting chart brewing.
I've never been one to put much faith in penny stock charts, but the pennet forming since mid August (three bouncing highs against receding high/low compression) usually spells a breakout equal to how long the pennet took to form. So that's about .18 cents. It would seem realistic given the launch this week. That said, I think we are putting up with a fair amount of naked shorting already which is suppressing the price. That's the price of admission to these types of stocks unfortunately, the MM money all comes from, well, you know...FWIW.

Threed,
Thanks for the analysis. We are holding and slowing rising quite well. If the launch does indeed happen this week and they roll out with a large merchant or two shortly thereafter I would expect a very nice climb.

For merchants, Etelcharge is beginning the connection phase to offer the Web 2.0 system. Interested merchants should visit the Company's website at www.etelcharge.com -- Click on Retail Partners or call John Todd, Vice President of Business Development -- 972-298-3800 ext. 35

Etelcharge Focuses on Adding Merchants After Launch of "New Online Way to Pay(TM)"
10/4/2007
DESOTO, TX, Oct 04, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Etelcharge.com (OTCBB: ETLC) (www.etelcharge.com) today announced that following its successful launch of its new payment system last week, the company has turned its attention to connecting merchants to offer its new online way to pay(TM). "We're focused now on providing our members with a blue ribbon collection of online merchants where they can shop," said Rob Howe, Etelcharge's Chairman and CEO. "The top 500 online retailer sites had 1.6 billion visits last year and they did $83 billion in business with those purchasers. It's those retailers we're targeting. We've learned they want to find a way to add the purchasing power of our target members."
Howe went on to say that his team has added functionality to the Etelcharge payment system to make certain it is inclusive of a broad range of technologies. "We've particularly focused on cross-browser compatibility to include the Windows browsers -- Netscape, IE and Firefox, and we've also included the Macintosh platform and the Safari browser. The whole idea is to give the huge amount of potential members a simple, easy way to buy online without having to have a credit card or a bank account, and without having to expose their personal information to the potential for identity theft. Our payment system does just that," Howe said. "Our payment system will be able to add hundreds of thousands of transactions to these merchants without degrading its performance -- regardless of the platform used by our members," said Howe. " It's all about ease of access to purchasing."
Members of this revolutionary payment system can create and manage their account via the Company's website -- www.etelcharge.com. Members who meet the payment method criteria can use their AT&T home phone number to make purchases. Those who do not yet meet the phone line criteria will still maintain an Etelcharge account and be able to use it when their systems become active.
"We're off and running," said Howe. "People are becoming members. We look forward to announcing alliances with key merchant partners who will provide the best products available for our members while focusing on value for our shareholders," Howe concluded.
Interested merchants should visit the Company's website at www.etelcharge.com -- Click on Retail Partners or call John Todd, Vice President of Business Development -- 972-298-3800 ext. 35.

Etelcharge Launches Campaign to Add Merchants and Members for "New Online Way to Pay(TM)"
10/5/2007
Howe Concurrently Launches Road Show Targeting Members of the Investment Community
DESOTO, TX, Oct 05, 2007 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Etelcharge (OTCBB: ETLC) today announced that following last week's successful launch of Etelcharge's New Online Way to Pay(TM) which enables Etelcharge members who have AT&T landline service in Etelcharge's market area, to make online purchases and bill them to their home phone bill today, announced today that the Company is launching a major membership and merchant campaign along with an aggressive investor awareness program.
Rob Howe, CEO and Chairman, is also commencing a national road show. "Now that we have successfully launched, it's time to build our member base, our merchant base and get our story out. We're launching a hard-hitting consumer-focused membership drive, and we're focusing on hitting the top 500 merchants to join Etelcharge in order for them to obtain their fair share of our member's purchasing power. We are on the path to accelerating revenue generation while taking the opportunity to get on the road and tell our story to the investment community," Howe stated.
Howe explained the consumer-focused membership campaign and the merchant campaign go hand-in-hand. "We're on a mission to build a portfolio of the top merchants in electronic downloading and other services which fit right in the center of our community of online purchasers' interests. Our growing membership will represent a huge uptick in revenue potential for these merchants. $60 a month in purchasing power per member coming out of the chute is $60 more than these merchants have been getting from this enormous group of consumers. You can move a lot of digital content for that number. The potential aggregate dollars are considerable. Etelcharge's value proposition for merchants is that we bring this huge potential market of purchasing that, until today, was not available to them," Howe continued.
"That is why we've built the hooks into our online payment system to make it flexible enough for a merchant to join us no matter what architecture they use in their shopping carts. Part of the brilliance of Etelcharge's payment solution is our ability to integrate a merchant quickly. Being able to target members of the investment and merchant community as we travel is our goal," Howe concluded.
Howe will be presenting at the Small Cap Discovery Conference in NY October 24th and meeting with the investment community while there. Howe also plans to attend the JM Dutton Conference in November and the RedChip Review Conference in Phoenix in January, among many. Howe just completed a very successful trip to California, meeting with potential new merchants. Concurrently, the company is initiating an advertising campaign to reach major markets whose goal is two-fold: attracting additional members and garnering awareness among potential "blue ribbon" merchants.

New Study Shows Online Consumer Trends Regarding Use of Alternative Payment Methods
Sept 27 - According to a nationwide consumer study released by Javelin Strategy & Research ("Online Payments Forecast: Alternative Payments to Go Mainstream as Consumers Seek Security and Convenience"), online transactions will more than double to reach $355.2 billion over the next five years, sparking a dramatic shift in how Americans pay for all purchases. By 2012, 30 percent of Americans will turn to online alternative payments, instead of reaching to their wallet for a traditional credit card. Individuals will use options such as stored-value, email payments and even instant credit, provided by companies that include traditional brands (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover) and alternative challengers (PayPal, Green Dot).
The study predicts that online alternative transactions will more than double by 2012 as consumers increasingly view these methods as a vehicle for secure and convenient transactions. Javelin researchers also believe this is not a niche trend. The growth of alternative payment methods will precipitate the evolution of credit cards and decline of cash and checks.
"Although it took nearly a decade for alternative payment methods to secure their position in the online world, it's apparent that everyday consumers are ready to view them as a trusted and viable way to buy online," said Bruce Cundiff, a senior analyst with Javelin Strategy & Research. "Given the recent online surge, we expect to see some of these trends transfer to offline buying over time. For example, more consumers may prefer to use alternative payment methods instead of credit cards, online and in person. But overall, we see continuing growth of online transactions and a decline of paper payment methods."
Javelin researchers found that as alternative payment methods win new customers, credit cards will lose some of their dominance online. Traditional brands and methods will endure representing the largest dollar amount and percentage of total online transactions, but that percentage will slip to 44 percent by 2012, according to the study. Debit card reward programs and promotions continue to lure younger consumers and will help to nearly triple the debit card transaction volume to $93.9 billion by 2012.
Why will three out of every ten Americans be using alternative payments by 2012? The makeup and demographics of online consumers will not significantly change during the next five years, but Javelin researchers found that increased popularity of alternative payments is due to attitudes and concerns. Online consumers will voluntarily embrace alternative payments for their convenience and security features, rather than a lack of access to credit or debit cards.
The study also predicts that of all the alternative payment options, email payment accounts, primarily PayPal, will see the biggest growth jumping from 5 percent to 11 percent by 2012. PayPal accounts surged to 150 million in 2007 with the help of "off-eBay" business efforts. According to the study, increased PayPal transaction sizes will also contribute to growth. Javelin researchers also predict that prepaid and gift cards will grab 5 percent more of all online transactions, due to increased acceptance and availability. Customer loyalty will help fuel a 4 percent online transaction increase for store-branded credit cards by 2012. Instant credit services, such as Bill Me Later, will likely see a small jump and may experience a boom with the emergence of PayPal's Pay Later service.
Key Findings of the Javelin Strategy & Research Study:
Online transactions will grow from $150.4 billion to $355.2 billion by 2012
Alternative payment methods will increase to gain 30% of all online transaction volume by 2012, up from 14% in 2007
Credit card use will continue to represent the largest dollar amount growth, but the percent of online transaction volume will decrease from 60% to 44% by 2012
Email payment account methods, such as PayPal, will jump from 5% of all online transaction volume to 11% by 2012
Debit cards remain steady at 27% of all online transaction volume

CRS data is accepted by such lenders as Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Chase Home Finance, GMAC RFC, CitiMortgage, Wachovia Corp., US Bancorp and other FHA lenders.

"For over 10 years, CRS has designed innovative solutions to help consumers who are concerned about identity theft and who are outside the traditional banking world, and we're excited to offer our thousands of consumers access to the Etelcharge program," said Ray Smith, President of CRS. "We see Etelcharge as a way to open new payment methods for our non-traditional customer base, beginning with utilizing the Etelcharge payment system as a way for them to pay for our services." Etelcharge and CRS will also work together to provide innovative programs which leverage Etelcharge's unique payments technology.
Howe went on to say, "CRS provides an alternative way of establishing a reliable credit profile -- something many really need. For example, Reportmybills.com is a CRS product that measures lease payments, utilities payments, insurance payments and others -- one of which could be their payment reliability record when they pay with Etelcharge. By teaming up with CRS, Etelcharge provides our members with a credit reporting option that's in alignment with the way they live, work and pay their bills."
The two companies agreed that Etelcharge and CRS will work together with CRS's contacts outside the US to implement the Etelcharge payment system technology internationally.
