Stratos Renewables' Intelligent Ethanol Plan
November 20, 2008
We mentioned a few days ago we had an exciting small cap stock idea on the way. Well, today's the day we're revealing an idea we believe may provide significant returns to investors over the next twelve months.

China Energy Raises the Roof
November 17, 2008
Last week I mentioned we'd look at quarterly numbers as soon as they came out for three of our small cap followings. Well, two out of the three posted 'em - Spicy Pickle and China Energy. So, keep reading for the scoop. However, something else popped up in the meantime that I want to start with.... Subtlety...

Market Near Inflection Point, Pickle Growing Again
November 12, 2008
On Monday I mentioned the market was in a trading range. The reason I did so was in anticipation of something like what's happened since then.... the S&P 500 continued to sell off all the way to the lower end of that range, almost. I drew my line in the sand at 845, while today's low ended up being...

Never let it be said the market isn't interesting. I've got some 'bigger picture' thoughts on the last few days, and what it might mean for all of us whether we're currently in or out of stocks.

CGYV: Reason for the Rally No Longer a Mystery
November 06, 2008
In Tuesday's unscheduled newsletter I mentioned it looked like somebody knew something about China Energy Recovery ...something that the rest of the market didn't know yet. There was just too much of a gain on too much volume to chalk up to coincidence. Well, I think today's announcement may have been...

CGYV: Somebody Knows Somethin'
November 04, 2008
I had no intention of writing a newsletter today, but sometimes when things pop up, you have to pass 'em along. Today's one of those days. Did everybody see what happened with China Energy Recovery (OTCBB: CGYV) today? It was up big, as in double digits. That's a pretty big deal in itself, but that's...

You're Not Imagining It...Market Momentum Has Shifted
November 03, 2008
I've spent the last couple of months talking about how to find evidence that things had changed for the better for the market.

Why the Market Can't Put Two Winning Days Together
October 30, 2008
At 3:48 PM EST on Wednesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was peaking at its high for the day, up 3.2%. By 4:00 PM EST, it was down 0.8%. I don't know what's worse....the fact that we saw a 4.0% swing in 12 minutes, or the fact that nobody seemed surprised or bothered by it. It was just another day...

What a week, huh? It was the biggest gain the market had seen in years, but let's not forget it followed what was the worst week in years. While the chaos may have been spell-binding, we can't let it be too much of a distraction. With that in mind, we've got a little business to take care of today. Specifically...

A Voice of Reason in an Unreasonable Market

Well, I have a pretty good idea what you're thinking right now, following this week's 20% selloff.

Leaving the game now may be a bigger mistake than...

How to Spot the Real End of the Credit Freeze
October 08, 2008
The Fed decided to beef up short-term lending by buying commercial paper on Tuesday. It's not a bad strategy actually. About $100 billion in short-term lending passes hands every day here in the United States. If the Fed can do for small businesses what nobody else seems willing/able to do, it may well...

Want More Out of the Market? Here's How to Get It. (Seriously)
October 04, 2008
This is not your father's stock market. It's not even the stock market from a few years ago. Today's stock market is volatile, fast, and not entirely rational (as we saw last month). The thing is, there's still plenty of opportunity in that kind of environment. In fact, I'd say there's actually more...

What do you do when your local economy grinds to a halt, disrupting your aggressive growth plans? A lot of small cap companies have been like deer caught in headlights this year.

What Happens Now After the Market's 20-Year Flood?
September 30, 2008
We witnessed a 20 year flood on Monday ... a 21 year flood, to be exact. We hadn't seen a single-day selloff that big since 1987. The Dow lost a record 777 points in protest of the House's rejection of the bailout proposal. Needless to say, the sheer size of the dip has a lot of people spooked. The thing...

Anybody else tired from this past week? I'm glad it's over, mostly because we can now move on to bigger and better things.

Well, I'm not surprised it happened. I'm just surprised it happened in the span of just a few days. Lehman filed Chapter 11, Merrill was 'sold' to Bank of America, and Goldman Sachs posted earnings that confirmed just how bad things are within the capital markets. AIG is on the chopping block too.

SpongeTech Posts Full-Year Numbers - What a Year!

I was beginning to wonder when we'd see SpongeTech's (OTCBB: SPNG) full-year (and quarterly) numbers. This morning's release of them verifies that sometimes things really are worth the wait.

I'm not even sure I should be talking about it, since the company hasn't put out a press release yet. But, if it's in the public domain (filed with the SEC) then it's fair game.

Voyant's 'Aviation Broadband' Takes Flight ...Literally

OK, it wasn't five entire days of writing - I just wanted to see how the market played out on Friday, Monday, and today before coming to any conclusions. Add in the weekend, and you get five days.

Applied DNA Passes Final Supima Test
June 20, 2008
Looks like this is the week to hear from companies we haven't heard from in a while. We got a dose of good news yesterday from Applied DNA (OTCBB: APDN)...some news that validates some work they've been doing, but more importantly, could open the door for much more revenue. What was the news? They've...

SpongeTech Gets Connected, Pickle Progress
June 17, 2008
We've got two big news items from two of our small cap stocks today. I think one of the announcements should get the stock past a weakening resistance line once and for all. The other announcement was something I pretty much saw coming, based on the the company's publicity history. If they maintain the...

Checkin' the Spicy Pickle Scoreboard
June 11, 2008
I was beginning to wonder when we'd hear something from Spicy Pickle again. Now I don't have to wonder anymore...we heard something today. With our last look, the Spicy Pickle (OTCBB: SPKL) 'Open Restaurant' scoreboard stood at 39. Well, add a tick - the number is now 40. This one is another company-owned...

The Dow's Up, The NASDAQ's Down - A Message?
June 09, 2008
In my morning comments I mentioned a blaring disparity among the indices. The S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average both looked like they were fighting an uphill battle, while the NASDAQ and the Russell 2000 seemed to be holding up relatively well. After seeing today's action - which was pretty...

SpongeTech/CEO Letter Confirms It...
June 05, 2008
In a blog entry yesterday I was explaining why I felt SpongeTech Delivery Systems (OTCBB: SPNG) was on the verge of a breakout. The resistance at the 4.9 cent level has been under attack for some time now, and the attack has been getting stronger (on higher volume). In fact, SPNG hit 5 cents yesterday...

Voyant Boosted by RocketStream's 'Stage 2'
June 03, 2008
Last week when I was singing the praises of Voyant's RocketStream, I had a feeling it was something big. A technology that actually makes the internet work up to 200 times faster? No wonder Nielson Mobile wanted it! With somebody else is embedding the very same technology into their own software (less...

You can now officially say you were there when a company made its first revenue leap. Remember earlier in the month when we said 'Voyant's on the verge'?

As promised, today we're going to take a look at Bio-Matrix's numbers, which will ultimately determine our valuations (and price target) for the stock.

SpongeTech Still Raising the Bar, New Sector Picks
April 29, 2008
Just when I think a company can't possibly raise their own bar any further, I'm proven wrong. No complaints - I know a lot of you already own SpongeTech Delivery Systems, so you stand to benefit from the latest news.

Bio-Matrix on My Mind, Thoughts on Earnings

April 15, 2008
Last week I mentioned SpongeTech Delivery Systems (OTCBB: SPNG) was nearing the announcement of their third quarter numbers.

Bio-Matrix Revenue Timeline is Hyper-Accelerated, The Time is Now
April 03, 2008
Remember last Thursday how I said Bio-Matrix could be weeks away from revenue? It's actually even better...the timeline has been fast-forwarded to mere days.

March 17, 2008
I don't think I could have asked for a better backdrop than the one Bear Stearns and J.P. Morgan provided for us today. Do I see a near-insolvency-bailout as good thing?

How To Navigate A Landmine-Laden Market
March 06, 2008
One of the best trading lessons I ever learned - if not the best - was to not make an assumption when there was no real basis for the assumption. In simpler terms, it just means only trade when you have a clear edge, and don't trade when the picture is fuzzy at best. I have to wonder how many of us are...

An 'Overshot Devaluation' Opportunity
February 07, 2008
Well, it looks like they've done it again. Analysts, the media, and the market in general have gone overboard with their efforts to beat up a stock...and I couldn't be happier. Why? I believe the army of bears that drove this company lower basically overshot their target, and left behind a company undervalued...

One Giant Leap For Applied DNA , Spicy Pickle's Beat Goes On
February 04, 2008
Remember how I said a few days ago to expect some big news from Applied DNA? The chart had just perked up too much to assume nothing was going on. Well, today we learned what that 'something' was. What was the news? We'll get to it below. For I now just want to plant a seed. There are two basic types...

Like Altoids, Some Small Caps Are 'Curiously Strong'
January 31, 2008
Well, it looks as if the Fed managed to inspire someone to buy stocks today, despite a rather large pullback shortly after the post-announcement rally on Wednesday. One day doesn't make a trend, but a few days does. The interesting part about the last few strong days is the group of stocks that has emerged...

New Sponge Makes Big Splash For Small Cap
January 29, 2008
Ya' know, if there's actually a recession on the horizon, you sure wouldn't know it by the way one of our profiled companies is growing its top line. And I don't mean by just a little bit. This company just launched a new product line, and increased their to-be-filled orders by about 15% pretty much...

Short-Term Bottom, But Recessionary Backdrop?
January 26, 2008
Round and round the market goes, and where she stops, nobody knows. Anybody else feel like that? The last few days have been like the prior forty days...lots of volatility - most of it bearish. Though I've seen several pieces of evidence that a bottom was made, I've yet to actually see the bottom. So...

Fed's Impact on Stocks, APDN Protects Profits
January 22, 2008
What a week. Just when it looks like things can't get any worse, they get worse. The good news is the Fed may have finally stopped the bleeding....at least for a while. Even better, I think Tuesday's terrible open (just a few moments after the Fed finally took some action) may have been the one last...

SPNG's Numbers Deciphered, 'Pickles' Planted in L.A.
January 16, 2008
They say when it rains it pours. If that's the case, then we're in the middle of a news tsunami - we've got updates from several of our profiled stocks. Don't worry though...we'll keep each one brief. Specifically, we've got more good news from Spicy Pickle, 'evidence' from Applied DNA, and an explanation...

APDN Keeps Good Company, & Finally a Bottom?
January 14, 2008
They say you're judged by the company you keep. If that's the case, then I think Applied DNA (OTCBB: APDN) should move up a couple of notches in everyone's book. The company just announced they've been unanimously accepted into the Brand Protection Alliance, or BPA for short. The BPA is a collection...

Applied DNA - Five Down, One To Go
January 10, 2008
As easy as it could have been to lose Applied DNA's (OTCBB: APDN) announcement today in all the market's noise (and there's been plenty of it lately), I really think the recent chapters in the company's history are pointing to a happy ending. Applied DNA just announced they've received two more milestone...

Worst Week For Stocks in Months - Time To Buy?
January 05, 2008
Ouch! Friday was quite a blow, huh? The week was even worse. In fact, it was such a strangely bearish week I decided to postpone what I originally planned on looking at today, and instead focus on something much more relevant to all of us right now...what's next for stocks?

Is This 'Dog of the Dow' Ready To Lead The Pack?
January 02, 2008
Welcome to the new year! We don't want to waste a minute of it, so we've already got a new trading idea for you. And just for the record, the same strategy behind today's pick found us a 34% winner last year...which is a heck of a lot better than the overall market did. The Dow's 'Dog' methodology is...
