New predictions spotlight: Avante Logixx (TSXV: XX), Caldwell Partners (TSX: CWL) and DDS Wireless (TSX: DD).

At this time last year, the Investorfile blog posted its view for the future (See: Investorfile has a view for 2013.) In that blog post we made several focused predictions for our list of Top Ideas. So far, we have succeeded on 3 of our small cap predictions in 2013:

1. Our Top Ideas stock, which could double in value in 2013.

Past prediction: WANTED Technologies Corp. (TSXV: WAN - $1.28)

Our prediction that WANTED Technologies stock would double in value did occur; in fact, the stock price has almost quadrupled in value during 2013. No surprise, the growth in the recurring revenue base generated from subscriptions for Wanted Analytics, online analytical tools used by Corporate Human Resource (HR) professionals, has generated consistently strong financial results for the Company throughout 2013. Last blog post: WANTED Technologies' financial results are predictably strong and the stock is still inexpensive.

2. Our Top Ideas stock, which could have a breakout year in 2013.

Past prediction: Questor Technology Inc. (TSXV: QST - $1.69)

In many ways, Questor Technology Inc. has had that breakout year in 2013. Year-to-date revenues are up 54% and profits have climbed 150%. The demand for the Company's proprietary clean air incinerator technology has ballooned due to the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) air quality requirements in the USA. But most importantly for small cap investors, Questor's stock price had a breakout year too, up over 300% to date. Last blog post: Questor Technology clean-air solutions are good for the environment and shareholders.

3. Our Top Ideas stock, which could be acquired in 2013.

Past prediction: Radiant Communications Corp. (no longer publicly traded)

Right we were. Radiant Communications, an Information Technology (IT) infrastructure provider, was acquired in 2013 in a going-private transaction for $1.43 per share. This share acquisition price was a big gain for small cap investors in this Company. Last blog post: Justice served (and big gain) for minority shareholders of Radiant Communications.

Three Investorfile predictions happened as expected in 2013. For 2014, we forecast three more:

1. Our Top Ideas stock, which could double in value in 2014.

New prediction: Avante Logixx Inc. (TSXV: XX - $0.27)

Why: Over the past three years, management at Avante Logixx has undertaken a number of initiatives to enhance profitability. Today, the Company's gross profit, EBITDA and net income margins continue to expand. But Avante Logixx's operations are scaling up too with revenue growth occurring across all its security business lines, including the Company's recurring monitoring income. As Avante Logixx continues to grow so will its investor audience. Last blog post: Avante Logixx is cashing in on growth.

2. Our Top Idea stock whose financial results could see a big turnaround in 2014.

New prediction: Caldwell Partners International Inc. (TSX: CWL - $0.88)

Why: Caldwell Partners International, an executive search firm with 70% of revenues derived from US, was positioned well for the US recovery in 2013. But the US recovery in the job market did not pick up momentum until the second half of this year; therefore, Caldwell Partners reported little revenue growth in fiscal 2013. But with the recent data trend of a stronger US job market, Caldwell Partners' executive search business is on the upswing and should realize a big turnaround in revenue growth and profits for fiscal 2014. Last blog post: For Caldwell Partners International: 2014 could be a breakout year for profits and stock price.

3. Our Top Ideas stock, which could grow from acquisitions in 2014

New prediction: DDS Wireless International Inc. (TSX: DD -$1.83)

Why: DDS Wireless International, a provider of wireless data solutions for fleet management, has already signed two non-binding letters of intent for acquisitions to merge into the Company's existing business units. DDS Wireless has the financial flexibility to make acquisitions with significant cash holdings and no debt. Last blog post: DDS Wireless is set for a rebound year.

The Investorfile blog will also carry forward one prediction from 2013 to 2014:

1. Our Top Ideas stock, which could have a shareholder-value enhancing event in 2014.

Prediction: RDM Corporation (TSX: RC - $1.83)

Why: RDM Corporation, a payment processing services company, has generated a significant amount of cash from its operation over the past several years. The Company holds over US $20 million (US $0.95/share) in cash and has no debt. This makes RDM for this coming year, again, a perfect candidate to carry out a shareholder value-enhancing event in 2014; a special or quarterly dividend and/or acquisitions. Last blog post: Once a turnaround; now a growth story: More investors should tune into RDM Corporation.
