LAS VEGAS, Feb. 13, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- MetaPower International, Inc. (Pink Sheets:MTPW) is pleased to announce that the Company has been featured as "Larry Oakley's Stock Pick" on WallStreetCorner.com. MetaPower's CEO Ken Allen, was interviewed by Mr. Oakley, a financial reporter, whose criteria for choosing MetaPower International was his opinion of the stock's potential to increase in value based on its success in 2007, which saw the Company draw a profit of more than $400,000.
Mr. Oakley noted several positive aspects regarding MetaPower's future revenue potential. He pointed to a substantial market in the United States, with approximately 33,700 hazardous plants, as well as a demand for the Company's management services in the hazardous process industries. He also pointed out that one of MetaPower's largest clients, an Oil Sands operation in Northern Alberta, is expected to continue at its present level for the next several years.
In the interview, Mr. Allen overviewed MetaPower International's performance in 2007 and focused on the future of the Company. Currently, MetaPower has purchase orders with a combined value of $3.7 million.
"I like this situation. MTPW's expertise is Process Safety Management. It can help a broad range of hazardous industries and I like the fact that the Company has the funds available to market its new product introduction to U.S. hazardous industries. I feel that is a highly undervalued price and represents an excellent opportunity," stated Mr. Oakley, following the interview with Mr. Allen.
"Mr. Oakley had a lot to say about MetaPower, and we appreciate the effort that he put into his research on the Company. We are encouraged by his optimistic vision of the Company's value as an investment and we share his confidence in our future success," stated Ken Allen, CEO of MetaPower International, Inc.
