This is a personal comment. It may be a special situation that I am beginning to investigate, an update on one I already told you about in this column, in "Larry Oakley's Opinion" or "Larry Oakley's Stock Pick," or a comment on something that is happening in the economy or in one of the markets.

Homeland Integrated Security Systems (Other OTC: HISU)
I initially covered this emerging growth situation in 2005, & have been watching it ever since. I felt that it had progressed sufficiently to give you an update, so I interviewed CEO Fredrick W. Wicks today. I can safely say that it can be referred to as a turnaround, since it has completed a complete metamorphous – you could say it has accomplished a rebirth. It has greatly increased the breadth & performance of its product line, built a worldwide marketing network, & has an exceptional management & technical team. It’s a situation that you should seriously look at in my opinion.
What HISU Is & Does
HISU is a high tech company. It has evolved to meet the challenge of elevating security for customers in diverse markets. It has developed integrated systems for use in national & international sea ports, airports, train stations, military & government facilities, school districts, commercial buildings, law enforcement agencies, & inter-modal carriers.
HISU’s Main Product
Its main product, called the Cyber Tracker, is a computer with tracking abilities. As a "smart box" computer, it collects, analyzes, & transmits the information it receives through the utilization of sensors. In addition, it can make real time decisions based on that data. Its ability to react to "in case of" situations without requiring a command from a dispatcher makes the Cyber Tracker stand out compared to other products of its type. The sheer versatility of the Cyber Tracker is what truly separates it from everything else on the market. It offers a blend between GPS Tracking & remote monitoring functions.
It has widespread applications. Using varied sensors, the Cyber Tracker lets people or organizations track their assets in the field. If the asset is a car, truck, bus, or other vehicle, it can provide vehicle diagnostics to make sure everything is in top notch working condition. It is “green” in that it can make sure that a vehicle is being driven at fuel saving speeds. A camera can even be connected & remotely viewed. Since it’s a computer, one has the ability to use HISU’s “RFID” control system to monitor which employees are running specific pieces of equipment. A customer even has the ability to remotely deny an employee access to an asset if they are not properly trained on how it functions.
The top-of-the-line CT-1000 product is not only a very accurate tracking device, but a full computer with machine-to-machine control capabilities. For example, it can monitor the giant windmills that are being installed on the roofs of buildings, so if a particular windmill is about to fail for any monitored reason, it can be automatically shut down before it fails, saving huge amounts of money.
A similar application is monitoring the equipment in remote pumping facilities. If a large pump is close to failing, it automatically is shut down, saving substantial costs – it’s far better to make relatively minor repairs rather than having to rebuild a heavily damaged piece of equipment.
Another unusual application is the incorporation of radiation sensors in sanitation collection vehicles, so that if any waste pickup location has a high radiation level, it can be immediately reported and handled.
My Opinion
I like turnarounds. When a company that has a great product line re-invents itself & substantially improves its products, develops new markets, & adds ways to generate greater revenue, its chances to grow is often greatly accelerated. I believe this is the case with HISU. It took management two years to make the additions & changes that will permit it to grow at a high rate. I suggest that you check out this emerging growth situation. Check its web site at www.Hissusa.com.
HISU is trading at $0.0024 as I write this on 5/7/2008, an easy point to take a position.
HISU is located at 15-F Glen Bridge Road, Arden, NC 28704 – 828-681-5152 – For more information, call its IR firm at 866-843-2775.
My comments in this column are strictly my personal opinion. At times, I will include forward-looking information as that term is defined in the Private Security Reform Act of 1995. Such information & the related company are subject to many risks & uncertainties. There can be no assurance that actual results, business conditions, business developments, losses & contingencies, local & foreign factors, & other matters will not differ materially from those suggested in any of my forward-looking statements. Such differences are the result of all sorts of factors (some examples: market conditions, competition, advances in technology, acquisitions, mergers, potential litigation, personnel changes, market changes, capital availability, etc., etc.).
Do not run out & buy a stock just because I am enthusiastic about the situation. Call the company before you buy -- satisfy yourself first. I always include a phone number for that purpose. My purpose in this column is to respond to your request for my personal opinion. You have the responsibility of making your own investment decisions. Do not give up that responsibility.
My editorial coverage has always been, is now, and always will be without charge. That includes what I write in Conservative Speculator, and what I write in "Larry Oakley's Opinion, " "Larry Oakley's Stock Pick," "Larry Oakley's Comment," & "Larry Oakley's Bold Ventures" columns. It also includes what I write in such venues as articles submitted to other publications, interviews on radio & television, and at the investment seminars and conferences at which I am a featured speaker. By doing all my editorial work free of charge, I have the advantage of writing about what companies I particularly like. There are occasions when I will write about a company that is a paying participant on WallStreetCorner -- that's because I like the company. I always make it clear to them that editorial coverage is free and is not a part of the fee they pay to have their Profile researched, prepared, & posted at WallStreetCorner.
