Top Ten Market (& Non-Market) Predictions For 2008
December 26, 2007
How could we let the last week of 2007 slip by and not submit our predictions for the coming year? Besides, everybody else seems to be doing it - why not put our entries on the board? I'll be the first to admit I don't have a crystal ball, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. Moreover, some...
Small Cap Network - Cleaning House For 2008
December 20, 2007
The end of the year is right around the corner, and I for one am glad. We've been itching to close the books on a handful of our followings, and perhaps benefit from a tax loss (since they didn't benefit us in many other ways). At the same time, there are also a few names we want to be sure to keep...
Spicy Pickle Surpasses the Century Mark
December 17, 2007
In this edition... 1) Smart Energy Plants a Seed 2) Spicy Pickle Surpasses the Century Mark Smart Energy Solutions (OTCBB: SMGY) continues to expand its footprint, this time with the help of an overseas ally. Iveco - a major, global truck manufacturer - will be offering the Battery Brain within its...
Wake Up & Smell the Panini - Spicy Pickle Evolves
December 15, 2007
The plan became a reality for Spicy Pickle (OTCBB: SPKL) yesterday, when the company closed a financing deal that should allow them to start opening several corporate-owned stores. These stores will be in addition to the franchised stores already popping up left and right (with more on the way). The...
MGRW Attracts a Big-Name Partner
December 12, 2007
Score another one for Marine Growth Venture's (OTCBB: MGRW). Today's news adds a layer of credibility to the business model, thanks to a partnership with a big-name company, and an even bigger name behind that company. Anybody who's bought or used a timeshare before is probably also familiar with the...
Tenet Blasts Off, & Retailers - Part II
December 07, 2007
It's been less than a month since we picked Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC), but we're already up 41% on the trading idea. More importantly, however, it appears as if we've broken above a temporary ceiling. Maybe now we can proceed all the way up to our target gain of 88%. Just to recap, we became interested...
Spongetech: Shorts & Longs Set to Face Off?
December 04, 2007
Good news from Spongetech Delivery Systems Inc. (OTCBB: SPNG) this morning, and perhaps some even better news about a potential short-covering rally for the stock. More on that in a second. First up, Spongetech's trademark has officially been approved by the U.S Patent and Trademark Office. The company...

Spongetech Set To 'Clean Up' In More Ways Than One
November 30, 2007
I love the end of the year. It's usually a great time for stocks, and particularly strong for small caps. I think December of 2007 could be even better than usual for small caps, thanks to a healthy pullback in November. If it was also around this time of year I found a company with a market cap about...
Cruising the High Seas For Profits (Literally) - Marine Growth Ventures
November 28, 2007
The Small Cap Network has found what we believe to be another great trading prospect with all the right credentials - a brilliant business model, the first and only player in its niche, no toxic financing, and some news today that could really put the wheels in motion. We'll be exploring the company...
Will Black Friday Make Investors Blue?
November 24, 2007
Well, the holiday shopping season has officially been kicked off with what is now known as 'Black Friday'...the day after Thanksgiving, and the second biggest shopping day of the year. I for one avoided the malls like the plague on Friday, but congratulations to any of you who braved the 'doorbuster...
SEC Eases Up On Small Caps, & Is Zupintra Back?
November 20, 2007
In This Edition... 1) SEC Eases Up On Small Caps 2) I Can't Believe I'm Saying This About Zupintra... 3) No, You're Not Imagining Things - Small Cap Value Is In The Gutter I'm willing to guess not many of us are on the Securities Exchange Commission's mailing list...what they put out isn't exactly riveting...
Smart Energy Enters 'Renaissance' Era, Stockgroup Q&A
November 16, 2007
Smart Energy's wingspan continues to grow, this time reaching into the Philippines. The company just announced a new distributor has been signed on there, and their second order with Smart Energy has already been placed. We've got the details and impact on that below. We've also got some follow-up thoughts...
Stockgroup Now 19 For 19, Spicy Pickle's Spreading
November 14, 2007
Though we're only halfway through the week, we've already seen a flood of news and activity within our small cap universe. Spicy Pickle followed some expansion news yesterday with earnings news today. Stockgroup, as you'll read in detail below, has made its 19th consecutive increase in quarterly revenue...
Is Healthcare Finally Healed? Timing is Everything
November 10, 2007
You may have seen my comments about Spicy Pickle (OTCBB: SPKL) in the blog on Thursday. However, I think what I said then is important enough to reiterate - and add to - here in the newsletter. What was my message? Simple - if you're looking for a great entry level into a long-term SPKL position, I think...
APDN's Serendipity, & Can 112 Million Users Be Wrong?
November 08, 2007
Serendipity is defined as "the effect by which one discovers something fortunate while looking for something else." With that being the case, I think Applied DNA Sciences (OTCBB: APDN) recently had a serendipitous moment in terms of potential revenue. In fact, I'm wondering if the 'discovered' revenue...
Sector Forecasts, SMGY Taps New Market
November 06, 2007
To be honest, I was pretty much floored when I started taking a behind-the-scenes look at the news and what it might mean for the company. The market here is big...bigger than I would have ever imagined had I not done some extra digging. More than that, I think it's a strong market with lots of built-in...
Lock in Gold Gain, Biotech Trade Still 'Brewing'
November 03, 2007
We've got updates on today on three of our prior trading ideas. One's about an idea that went well enough to lock in a decent gain, the next is about an idea that went not-so-well (so far), and the last look is at a longer-term idea that's still brewing up. So, odds are at least part of today's newsletter...
APDN's Milestone: A Small Cap Opens a Big Door
November 01, 2007
We've got a key update today on one of our stocks - Applied DNA Sciences has a commitment from a major customer. That story is discussed below, as usual. However, be sure to check out the sidebars on the right...CEL-SCI and Titan Global are making some noise of their own. Applied DNA on the Road to Revenues...

Titan Global: Dollars in the Details
October 25, 2007
If anybody missed Titan Global's (OTCBB: TTGL) conference call last week, the recording and transcript are now available. I know sometimes I summarize those calls, but I'm not going to today. Instead, I want to take two of the Q&A's from later in the call (where the real value of the call is) and...
SMGY Hits The Road, SPKL Still Rolling
October 22, 2007
It's been another busy week for the Small Cap Network, and small cap stocks in general. I can personally tell that it has because my two typing fingers are starting to hurt. We've got a handful of those news items to get through today - all of it good. And, if you're a regular reader of the blog, you...
Big Pharma, Small Biotech - Who Needs Who?
October 20, 2007
Sometimes picking a small cap stock is about the numbers and certainty. Other times there's a little philosophy to it. I think both are important. Today we've got some philosophical answers to questions many of you have been voicing about biotech R&D company CEL-SCI Corporation (AMEX: CVM). This...
Stockgroup Sets Date, Titan Settles With AT&T
October 16, 2007
Not a bad start for Applied DNA (OTCBB: APDN), huh? Up 29.1% on the highest volume day in over a year. What I like best is how well-paced the rally was. I was pretty worried about a wildly strong open, which often sets up nothing but profit-taking later in the day...a tough thing to overcome. In yesterday's...
Applied DNA - Real Opportunity in Spotting Fakes
October 13, 2007
Counterfeiting isn't just a nuisance anymore. It's costing you and me money, jobs, and in some cases, can even cost lives. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates that counterfeiting costs the U.S. economy between $200 and $250 billion every year, in addition to eliminating 750,000 jobs. Even more alarming...
Thursday's Market - An Omen, Or A Blip?
October 12, 2007
We now know for sure we'll have a new trading idea for you tomorrow morning. I can't tell you much about it, but I can say you'll definitely want to check your inbox Saturday. In the meantime, there are a few factoids I can give you to whet your appetite. This company... 1) Has a solution to a multi-billion...
The Pickle Progresses, MIVT On The Verge
October 10, 2007
I came very close to publishing this newsletter last night rather than this afternoon. But, after thinking it over, I decided I'd rather see how things started out today before highlighting the charts I believe are worth a closer look. Why? While overall I believe the economy is well poised to encourage...
Enigma Software: No Mystery About Growth and Margins
October 06, 2007
It's no accident VMWare (VMW) is up 75% over the last seven weeks after its August IPO, nor is it a coincidence how Vasco Data Security (VDSI) has gained more than 540% in less than a decade. Blue Coat Systems (BCSI)? Try 334% over the last twelve months. Yes, somebody out there reaped huge rewards because...
Does Gold Mean Green? (& Why the VIX Concerns Me)
October 05, 2007
If you're a regular reader of the Small Cap Network newsletter, I think it's also safe to say you're regularly involved in stock trading, and therefore make an effort to do more than just 'buy and hold'. If so, then you'll probably also understand what the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX, is, and why it's...
StockHouse Redux - Now Better Than Ever
October 02, 2007
For StockGroup, the term 'next big thing' just doesn't seem to do today's news justice. I think 'paradigm shift' is a more precise description. I think if you liked the old StockHouse website, then you're going to love the new StockHouse website. Why? Everything is different, and all for the better...
September 2007
A 'Pickle' Takes Root in Florida, MRK Leads the Pack
September 27, 2007
Whoever coined the phrase 'onward and upward' could have easily been talking about Spicy Pickle's (OTCBB: SPKL) stock. Since last Friday's close, SPKL has gained about 25%, and is still climbing. As amazing as that is, I'm even more amazed by how consistent - or should I say persistent - the volume has...
Spicy Pickle Up & Running, Overstock Overbought?
September 25, 2007
Before I forget, I want to remind you about the Spicy Pickle's (OTCBB: SPKL) web video available simply by clicking the nearby image. From the feedback we've gotten so far, the short video has been very helpful for investors, adding any remaining details we couldn't get to in Saturday's profile. Remember...
Spicy Pickle: Sink Your Teeth Into Ground Floor Growth
September 22, 2007
Hitting a home-run with a micro cap stock really isn't all that difficult. All that's required is decisive action and a willingness to take a calculated risk when the right idea comes along. Most timid investors find themselves missing out on huge winners because they take a swing too late - the peak...
BioCurex's Other Shoe Drops
September 20, 2007
I know I promised all of you a new trading idea on Friday. However, after thinking a little more about it, I've decided to wait until Saturday morning to send it out. I know for a lot of you a 40+ hour workweek can make it tough to read and process one more thing late in the day on a Friday. I'd rather...
BioCurex Cancer Test: The Rumor Becomes Real
September 18, 2007
Well, the recent strength from BioCurex (OTCBB: BOCX) shares all makes sense now. This small cap stock flew from 46 cents to 77 cents over the last six weeks - a 67% move - on rising volume. We speculated that they were going to announce some good progress with the next phase of their cancer detection...
Time Isn't Money: A No-Risk, High Potential Investment
September 16, 2007
Here's where I'd normally start listing all the specific reasons why I think you'd want to be a shareholder in one of our ideas. Today, though, I'm not even going to go down that path today. Why not? Because like I said, this Friday, the Small Cap Network has something a little different for our readers...
Overstock...Undervalued? The Short Squeeze Is On
September 07, 2007
Though I generally try to stick with a smaller cap trading focus, when I find an investment idea I like outside of the small cap arena I still like to share it with our readers. Hence, today's side trip to officially highlight Overstock.com Inc. (NASDAQ: OSTK). If you're not familiar with the name or what...
Sector Snapshot: Hardware's Hot, Homebuilder's Not
September 04, 2007
Believe it or not, there's actually stuff going on in the stock market besides subprime mortgage news. No really - it's true. The media didn't cover much of it, but it's been happening all the same. Beginning today, I plan on spending some time getting our readers up to speed on a few of the interesting...

Titan-ic Growth: A 427% Top Line Improvement?
August 31, 2007
I really hope you guys were reading the newsletter early on in the year....right around the time we introduced Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB: TTGL). If you listened and acted, you're probably up about 40% on TTGL by now. If you didn't jump in at the time though, I think there's still some meat left on...
Market Gets Rocked. Now What Do We Do?
August 29, 2007
Ouch! It never ceases to amaze me just how quickly the tide can turn. Last week was one of the best we've seen in a long time....and much needed. Then on Monday and Tuesday of this week, those gains were basically chopped in half. Don't worry though - now that it's all said and done, I've got some unbiased...
Ride The Wave: Which Stocks Look Ready To Roll?
August 21, 2007
You know, the more I thought about what I wrote in this weekend's edition of the newsletter, the more pumped I got about today's edition. Why? Because when you finally have the proverbial wind at your back (as I think we do now), I believe investors who act first generally do best. Ergo, what a great...
Is Now The Time To Buy? Here's Why It May Be
August 18, 2007
With another wild week behind us, it seems as if the evidence for an upside rebound is mounting up. So, if you were on the sidelines waiting for a better environment, I really think it's time to start looking again. Today I'll update the key things I see, and the key things I'm still looking for (as...
SMGY's Acquisition Target - Little Things Are Big
August 15, 2007
Ladies and gents, I think today's news is what small cap investing is all about. Hypothetically say you owned a small auto-part manufacturing business, and you finally had a chance to present yourself to industry giants like General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Delphi (DPHIQ.PK). Personally, I'd feel like doing...
Five Mega-Trend Investment Themes
August 13, 2007
This is an edition I've been meaning to do for a while, but just haven't had the opportunity...until now. It's a good one though - one I think could make you a bundle of money if you understand 'conceptual' investing. I'm not claiming to be another John Naisbitt, author of 1982's best-selling book 'Megatrends'
Using Their 'Brain', SMGY Enters RV Market
August 08, 2007
You can make a living providing people what they need, but you can make a fortune providing them things they want. Let's face it - modern consumers love bells and whistles, whether they're needed or not. The more the better. That's why I think (and have thought for a while now) Smart Energy Solutions...
Close To A Bottom? The Odds Are 9 Out Of 11
August 06, 2007
Another wild week, huh? The average stock fell back by more than 2% on Friday, which undid what would have otherwise been a positive week for the market. It was certainly a drastic change from Wednesday's big upside reversal and Thursday's decent bullish follow-through. So what's next for stocks? My...
Smart Energy Plays Offense With Its Stock
August 02, 2007
Though I said it only a few days ago about the very same company, I think it bears repeating now...there are almost always two messages being delivered in one news release. I believe today's two messages from Smart Energy Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: SMGY) both bode well for shares - the 'read between the...
The Signs Point To Bullishness....I Think
August 01, 2007
I've been sitting at my desk for a while now (too long, actually), debating whether or not to even write today's edition on the topic I had planned. I've decided to, obviously. However, I'll also add that I felt a lot better about it Monday afternoon than I did on Tuesday afternoon. My dilemma is the...

Is This Small Cap Ripe, Ready To Be Picked?
July 27, 2007
I really hope everyone is using this lazy summer as an opportunity to become shareholders of your newest favorite companies - and small caps in particular. Some of that fruit is ripe and ready to be picked, while other stocks are on the verge. If you haven't collected your small cap harvest yet, we've...
Smart Energy's Army Now Marching In Sweden
July 25, 2007
I can't count the number of times in my early days as a trader I decided to wait to become a shareholder of good companies, only to end up chasing those stocks when they started to fly. I quickly learned the best time to jump in is when nobody else seemed interested. It's an important reminder today...
Titan Global: The Mouse Caught A Cat
July 23, 2007
Never let it be said this business isn't interesting. After spending the first part of the year prepping to spin off its circuit board division from its telecom division, today Titan Global (OTCBB: TTGL) announced they're diving head-first into a new line of business.....and it has nothing to do with...
Stockgroup Strikes While The Iron Is Hot
July 18, 2007
In the movie 'Field of Dreams', there's a well-known line, "If you build it, he will come." However, when it comes to websites, I think the quote may need an addendum. Perhaps it's more accurate to say "If you build it, he will come.....but he may not pay for it." See, anybody can pretty much build a...
Smart Energy's Dealer Model - A Wider Pipeline
July 16, 2007
Sometimes fate ends up making things easy for me to do. Take today for instance. There are a couple of lingering details I've been wanting to discuss regarding the Smart Energy Solutions (OTCBB: SMGY) opportunity, and today's news is the perfect reason to dive into at least one of them. I think you're...
MIV Therapeutics - A Look Ahead, + Q&A's
July 14, 2007
In case you weren't able to participate in MIV Therapeutics' (OTCBB: MIVT) conference call on Friday, we've got a quick recap for you today. Parts of the discussion were stuff we already knew, but we added some new layers of detail with the Q&A session.....as usual. We'll go over the key questions...
CCBEF's Forest Is Behind All The Trees
July 12, 2007
With earnings season now here, it could be easy to get sidetracked by all the noise. That could be unfortunate though, if it meant losing sight of Clearly Canadian (OTCBB: CCBEF) - you may end up missing out on a big move. So, today's edition is just to make sure you keep it on your radar. Why? Two reasons......technicals...
Another Rung On Zupintra's Ladder Reached
July 09, 2007
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....I love companies that say what they're going to do, and then go do it. Too few companies only do one or the other (or neither). So, when a company does both, their credibility is heightened in my book. Well guess whose credibility just jumped again? If you...
Is The Market Out Of Steam?
July 05, 2007
Welcome back everyone. I hope we all had a happy and safe July 4th holiday, though I for one am excited to be able to get back to my desk and start thinking about the market again. Now that investors (U.S. investors, anyway) have an extra day of R&R behind them, I believe those recharged batteries...
GE Confirms It - Teaming Up With BioCurex
July 02, 2007
There seems to be a common theme recently with some of our profiled stocks....big companies are teaming up with our smaller companies in a 'win/win' scenario. For instance, it was only on Thursday we learned Yahoo! Canada - one of Yahoo! Inc.'s (NASDAQ: YHOO) major regional search sites - was going to...
June 2007
Yahoo Teams Up With Stockgroup
June 28, 2007
Wow! Or, maybe it would be more correct to say 'Yahoo!', particularly if you're a shareholder of Stockgroup Information Systems (OTCBB: SWEB). Just a few moments ago, we heard some news I personally believe may mean a monumental victory for the company.....and I'm not exaggerating. They're partnering...
Stockgroup's Keeping Good Company
June 27, 2007
They say you're judged by the company you keep. I tend to agree with the notion, but in my experience, the same can be said about corporations - high caliber companies usually choose to work only with other high caliber companies. If that's the case, then I really believe Stockgroup Information Systems...
SMGY's Technology Is Going To Boot Camp
June 25, 2007
In sales, I think most anybody would tell you (the pros in particular) half the battle is getting in front of the right audience in the first place. But, when you can make a good presentation to the right decision-makers, it can be a proverbial slam-dunk.....for the company, and by extension, for its...
How To Find Opportunity (& Not Get A Headache)
June 22, 2007
I hope all of you routinely read all of our commentary, as opposed to just our e-newsletters regarding small cap trading ideas. Why? If you've recently absorbed all of our stuff, then odds are you've also taken a way a few great ideas and made some very good money with them. If you haven't, don't worry...
Phinder, or Zupintra? Both Spell Opportunity
June 21, 2007
You may want to take a good look at the Phinder Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: PHDT) logo to the immediate left. Why? It's probably going to be one of the last times you see it. As of this morning, the company has changed its name to Zupintra Corporation Inc. (OTCBB: ZUPC). Note there's a new symbol as well...
Titan Global: The Smoke Is Clearing
June 16, 2007
After reviewing yesterday's news from Titan Global (OTCBB: TTGL), the perfect analogy for this attractive investment opportunity finally struck me, though I was surprised it was a sewing metaphor. I think this company has been weaving together an incredible story for months now, with different threads...
Get Smart! A New Idea In An Old Industry
June 11, 2007
Ever had your car battery go dead at the most inopportune time? Ever had a vehicle stolen even though you had an alarm system? I have, and so have millions of others....and the key term there is "millions of others". The Small Cap Network recently identified a company we believe is poised to tap into...
A 'State of the Small Cap' Address
June 09, 2007
There's no denying it - large cap stocks have led the way so far this year. The Dow is up 6.7% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 is ahead by 5.4%. Their 'on' switch was flipped in July of last year, and with only a couple of blips, they've stayed turned on since then. What about small caps? Like their...
BOCX: Tiny Cancer Test Has Huge Potential
June 04, 2007
Sometimes it pays to remember details. Those little things a company just mentions here and there can frequently come back to mean so much more later....and potentially reward those investors who kept track of them. Take today's news from BioCurex Inc. (OTCBB: BOCX) for instance. The company gave us...
MIVT: The End of the Beginning
June 01, 2007
As hard as some of us might try to make investing a complicated matter, sometimes I really think the wise investment move is just to take things at face value. That's what I thought of when I read last night's news from MIV Therapeutics (OTCBB: MIVT) anyway....the news is what it is. No angles, no fine...
May 2007
Feature: Simple + Brilliant = 'Smart' Investment
May 30, 2007
Winning the lottery can make you millions overnight, but let's face it....the odds are slim, and it's a pure-luck proposition. On the other hand, being an astute investor can also be incredibly rewarding, and with significantly better odds. Oh, it might require a little more legwork, but in my experience...
CCBEF: New Organic Line, Non-Organic Growth
May 25, 2007
When I first saw this morning's news regarding Clearly Canadian (OTCBB: CCBEF), I knew right away I wanted to get something out to our readers - I think it's a big deal. But, having learned to skim headlines just to maintain my bigger picture market view, something else caught my eye shortly after that...
Phinder's Revenue 'On' Switch Just Flipped
May 22, 2007
If there's anybody on the planet left doubting that Phinder Technologies (OTCBB: PHDT) is serious about winning a big, fat chunk of the global telecom market, then today may be your proverbial final straw. More importantly, I think PHDT shareholders stand to be magnificently rewarded soon. Why? Because...
Small Caps Slug Back To Back Homers
May 16, 2007
When it rains it pours, but I guess that's a good thing when it concerns positive news about stocks many of you may own. It was only a few days ago I was hashing out the woes of having two good things to talk about at the same time, and being forced to choose both. Today, I'm faced with the same dilemma.....two...
Stockgroup is Smokin' - Revenue Report
May 14, 2007
You know, I think it's like a breath of fresh air to find a company that actually does what it's supposed to do - which is grow revenues. I know, I know.....saying so qualifies me for a 'Master of the Obvious' award. But seriously, think about it - when did mediocrity become exciting? Well, no offense...
Phinder: Some Flesh Around The Framework
May 13, 2007
If there was any mystery left behind the Phinder Technologies (OTCBB: PHDT) opportunity, odds are the company's recent announcement will clear it up once and for all. In a nutshell, Phinder has announced a revenue estimate. And let me tell you, I think you're going to like what you hear. Just to set...
TTGL Puts Money Where Mouth Is, SWEB Widens Net
May 09, 2007
Though I've seen a lot in this industry, I think there are really only a handful of basic characteristics of top-performing corporations. One of these qualities - in my own layman's terms - is a company that eats its own cooking, so to speak. When a company shows interest in buying back their own stock...
Phinder's Ready to Drive Revenue
May 05, 2007
Though Phinder Technologies (OTCBB: PHDT) didn't really need any more credibility in my book, I was still excited to see the final brush strokes applied to their masterpiece. Why a big deal? I really think PHDT is way undervalued relative to where the company appears to be going; yesterday's news is...
BioCurex: Patience Can Pay Off
May 02, 2007
Vindication can be sweet, can't it? That's the first thing I thought after catching the news from BioCurex (OTCBB: BOCX)....seems its shareholders are likely to be well-rewarded soon for being able to be forward-thinking. The company released an update today I feel is a light at the end of the tunnel...
April 2007
A Handful of Looming Breakouts
April 29, 2007
Something a little different today. After Wednesday's look at the likely summertime strength in small caps, I thought it would be fitting to study which of our profiled companies seemed technically best-poised to take advantage of the tendency. After all, not every stock can go higher - I've always tried...
A Cure For The Market's Summertime Blues
April 25, 2007
For all of you getting ready to follow Wall Street's long-standing adage 'Sell in May and go away', you might want to rethink your plans. No need to cancel the trip to Disney World, but if you're planning on taking the summer off from trading, you may be missing some high-octane opportunities. Sorry...
CCBEF: Quick, While Nobody's Looking
April 21, 2007
There's an old saying "the squeaky wheel gets the oil." It's just a cute way of saying whatever it is making the most noise will usually get the most (and most immediate) attention. I think the same is true for stocks. However, when it comes to stocks, I've also observed how the opposite of the cliché...
Locked & Loaded - CVM Finds Funding
April 18, 2007
When someone hands over $15 million to a biotech company to continue work on a cancer treatment, I have to take notice. Some of the underlying meanings I interpret in a transaction of this size include the notions that (1) the drug has enough merit so far to keep developing it, and (2) the company has...
Titan's Turning The Earnings Corner
April 16, 2007
I don't think there's anything better than owning stock in a company at the time it starts to move out of the red and into the black. It seems like almost every time it happens, a whole new world of investor interest is opened up. Of course with such a change in financial fortune, that interest often...
Phinder Raises The Revenue Roof
April 14, 2007
You gotta' love a good story that just keeps getting better - especially when it's the story behind a stock many of you may own (or perhaps should own). The icing on the cake is how the very best part of the saga may still be in front of us. In the meantime, we think investors have the potential to make...
Feature: Phinder Today May Prove Prudent Tomorrow
April 11, 2007
Though only a few days removed from our last small cap pick, we don't want to wait another minute to share what we think is another stock with monster-sized potential for gains. As a reminder, the suggestion from last weekend was MIV Therapeutics (OTCBB: MIVT), which is already up more than 18% in just...
Feature Edition: A Biotech Trading Idea
April 07, 2007
The Small Cap Network Newsletter has been on a tear recently, finding a couple of big winners that have yielded significant short-term gains. Stockgroup (OTCBB: SWEB) is up 70% since we first suggested it in late January, while Challenger Powerboats (OTCBB: CPWB) is more than 100% higher than where we...
Immune Response: New Name, New Company
April 04, 2007
For all of you waiting for an update on Immune Response (OTCBB: IMRP), today's your day. We think this latest round of news is ultimately a very good move for investors, as it may end up being a catalyst for the stock. Before we get to it though, we just wanted to give you a heads-up on a brand new trading...
SWEB's Path May Have Just Been Paved
April 01, 2007
We know it hasn't necessarily been the greatest last few weeks for the overall market, but that doesn't mean there weren't bullish opportunities - you just had to know where to look. Take Stockgroup Information Systems (OTCBB: SWEB) for instance. It's up 70% since February 27th...the day the market took...

Fear Not the Fed...The Tale is in the Tape
March 28, 2007
Like we mentioned in a blog entry yesterday, this lull in market activity is a great chance to do some legwork to prepare for when the market starts to move again. The same applies to us. So, with no other business to take care of, we've got a 'bigger picture' theme that may help you find - and keep...
Titan: Small Win Now May Mean Big Win Later
March 25, 2007
Two for one today - two ideas in just one newsletter. First up, our thoughts on the market's recent behavior. Last week was one of the best weeks we've seen in years, which unwound the heavy dose of damage inflicted three weeks ago. Can we infer something out of the renewed strength? We'll take a look...
Titan Offers Up a Rare Second Chance
March 22, 2007
Somebody's ears must have been burning. That, or the folks at Titan Global (OTCBB: TTGL) are regular readers of our blog, and have impeccable timing. It was only yesterday we mentioned how we felt the stock's recent pullback was a great entry opportunity, and today we learned just how right we may have...
Cliffs Notes for Stockgroup Groupies
March 20, 2007
Hey everybody, in case you couldn't make it to Stockgroup Information Systems' (OTCBB: SWEB) webcast last Thursday, don't worry - we've got a handful of highlights for you. And whether you're a small cap enthusiast or a full-blown SWEB shareholder, we think you're going to like what we've got to say...
Could CEL-SCI Be A Lucky Charm?
March 17, 2007
Happy Saint Patrick's Day! If you're wishing for the luck o' the Irish to work its way into your stock trading, we may have a lucky charm for you today. Gratuitous Saint Patrick's Day clichés aside..... As we mentioned in the blog a couple of days ago, CEL-SCI Corporation (AMEX:CVM) has a new...
Stockgroup Set to Soar in '07, on Heels of Strong '06
March 15, 2007
Hot off the presses (literally)! Time is of the essence today, as we want to make sure all of our readers receive and read today's newsletter before 4:00 p.m. EST. Why? Because you may want to jump in on Stockgroup Information Systems' (OTCBB: SWEB) conference call - so you can get the whole scoop on...
Hot Pockets & Cold Corners - There's Opportunity in the Obscure
March 11, 2007
Everyone had a chance to catch your breath? I, for one, am glad the weekend is here. The past couple of weeks have been a frenzy, so I'm happy to take a couple of days just to regroup without feeling I have to keep my eyes glued to the market. One of the reasons I'm grateful.....the Small Cap Network...
Progress, Promise, & Placebos - Why IMRP May Be Underestimated
March 07, 2007
When it rains it pours, but that can be a good thing when it comes to investments many of you may own. We've got a salvo of great news to get through today, with the highlight coming from a name we haven't looked at in a while - Immune Response Corporation (OTCBB: IMRP). In short, they're getting ready...
Challenger Powerboats Hits The Throttle
March 06, 2007
We know we've been zeroing in on Challenger Powerboats (OTCBB: CPWB) the last few weeks, but hey - it's where the action is right now. If there was an aquatic equivalent to 'burning up the pavement', we'd have to say Challenger is doing it. The best we could come up with is 'making waves', but somehow...
Siena to Land in 'Hollywood', Vegas Style
March 05, 2007
Just when you think you know a company, they go and add another layer! Siena Technologies (OTCBB: SIEN) appears to be skilled at so much more than many investors seem to be giving them credit for. We were already blown away by their second-to-none Race & Sports Book technology, as were some major...
February 2007
Ouch! Now What? - Some Market Perspective
February 28, 2007
Undoubtedly by now - unless you just got back from a mission to Mars - you've heard the full scoop on what happened to stocks yesterday. Between China's massive market tumble, a major computer glitch with the way the Dow Jones Industrial Average is calculated, and a wave of potentially-problematic economic...
Clearly a Breakout
February 26, 2007
On Friday afternoon, as I was thinking about what to cover in this past weekend's edition of the Small Cap Network Newsletter, I opted for Titan Global's (OTCBB: TTGL) revised guidance news. However, it could have just as easily been today's edition. In fact, this write up was already completed at the...
Titan Raises The Bar
February 24, 2007
Just when I think a company can't possibly impress me anymore than they already have, they go and surprise me. No reason to complain though - I don't mind being surprised when it's likely to make money for our readers. It was only a little over a month ago we were suggesting Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB...
The Plot Thickens - More of CPWB's Turn-Around Story
February 22, 2007
One of the most satisfying parts about being the editor of the Small Cap Network Newsletter is seeing turn-around stories literally unfold right in front of me. Even better is seeing those patient shareholders, who saw the opportunity when no one else did, collect their reward. Well, after seeing both...
Expect It When You Least Expect It: Is Siena Primed?
February 21, 2007
Ever notice how sometimes you wake up in what seems to be a run-of-the-mill morning, only to find a stock you had on your watchlist has been on a tear for several days? No warning at all, not even a hint...it's just flat-out taking flight. Well, here's a little bit of what we know about the phenomenon...
The Titan Train Just Keeps On Rolling
February 17, 2007
Hey investors, do you like high potential trading ideas? We introduced Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB: TTGL) to you on January 13th, but if you wanted to mull it over for a wile, we think today's news may proverbially clinch the deal for you. Here's the deal - Titan just acquired Ready Mobile, which is...
How to Catch a Falling Knife - Buying Stocks on a Dip
February 15, 2007
"I can remember it like it was yesterday....watching Commerce Planet's (OTCBB: CPNE) stock launch like a rocket, wishing I was along for the ride, but also convinced it couldn't go any higher. If it did, I lamented. If it instead pulled back, I congratulated myself for not getting sucked in.....only...
BOCX is on the Runway, Fueled by Cancer Test News
February 13, 2007
Do you think there's a market for a cancer screening test that could be performed and interpreted in a matter of minutes? Better yet, what if it could all be done at the doctor's office during a routine visit? Considering there's nothing else that easy and quick in use right now, we'd have to say it...
Sailing Under 'Clear' Skies - A Sea Change for Clearly Canadian
February 07, 2007
Investors, we think you should take notice of Clearly Canadian (OTCBB: CCBEF) if you haven't already! The company was impressing the heck out of us by its sheer rebuilding efforts alone. But, we think today's acquisition news could be the difference between outstanding returns and downright incredible...
A Window of Opportunity is Open...For Now
February 06, 2007
To say Challenger Powerboats (OTCBB: CPWB) has been on a roll lately might be an understatement. The company, after a relatively quiet end to last year, has just been firing on all cylinders lately. And yes, there's another chapter today we think could even further reward shareholders, though they're...
Web2Corp - Undervalued in Our Eyes
February 03, 2007
Sometime stocks trade at what they're worth, and sometimes not. We know there's nothing earth-shattering there, but it's a seed we wanted to plant early today. Why? Because we feel being able to distinguish between the two scenarios is where top traders make the majority of their money. Even better...
Stockgroup's Suggested Entry, Redux
February 01, 2007
Last Saturday, when we first profiled Stockgroup Information Systems (OTCBB: SWEB), we attempted to illustrate how the average retail investor still lacks high-powered tools and information. By filling that void, we further surmised Stockgroup would be able to generate some serious revenue....and keep...

Challenger's Acquisition Opens New Doors
January 31, 2007
If you were an owner of Challenger Powerboats (OTCBB: CPWB) as of last Friday, you would probably agree giant gains can be made in an instant (contrary to what you may hear from most of Wall Street). Your shares were catapulted from 4.4 cents to yesterday's closing price of 7.3 cents...a 66% gain in...
Feature Edition: Piranha in a Pond
January 27, 2007
Since our inception seven years ago, the SmallCap Network newsletter staff has practically seen and done it all in the small company arena. And in our many observations, we've managed to narrow down what we feel are the core common qualities of top-performing companies (and top-performing stocks). What's...
Clearly Canadian: Bottled Water is Big Business
January 25, 2007
To say it was an improvement or a step-forward really wouldn't do the company justice. Rather, we think the term 'evolution' may be a better description. Though the average consumer may only see this evolution in the form of a new product on store shelves, we'd contend the recent reinvention of the company...
Playing Titan Global After the Volatility
January 23, 2007
It's been a little over a week now since we first issued our coverage of Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB: TTGL), and so far, we're pretty pleased. Of course, it's been something of a roller coaster since then. Following the initial profile from January 13th, we saw shares move from a close of $1.21 to a...
Clearly Canadian Looks Ready To Roll
January 18, 2007
We mentioned in a recent blog entry (several, actually) how Clearly Canadian (OTCBB: CCBEF) was popping up on investor's radars again after what had been a relatively quiet end to last year. This week, the theory has been verified with two press releases in two days - and the first since November. We...
Titan's Q1 Results - Stellar as Expected
January 17, 2007
We've only been following Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB: TTGL) for four days now, but we have to say, we've squeezed in a month's worth of excitement already. That's ok though, since it's a bullish kind of buzz. Yesterday's volume of 538,900 shares was the highest we'd seen in over a year, and the stock...
FDA Grants Phase III Approval for CEL-SCI's Multikine
January 16, 2007
Remember a couple of weeks ago when we discussed how CEL-SCI Corporation (AMEX: CVM) had been unusually quiet of late? Knowing what we know about the company, we just figured something big was brewing and the news would be released seemingly out of nowhere, like a bolt of lightning. Well, it seems we...
Our First Trading Idea of the Year
January 13, 2007
I'm usually glad the rest of the market overlooks incredible small cap ideas. It gives our readers a little time to get in at low levels - if they want to - before the rest of the crowd jumps on the bandwagon. In today's case though, I think any action needs to be taken soon, as it looks like this stock...
Better Boats Could Mean Big Gains
January 11, 2007
We'll get to today's edition immediately below. First, we wanted to give plenty of (ok, a little) notice before we send this year's newest small cap idea to you. The profile - barring any changes between now and then - will be coming out Saturday morning. And let me tell you, I think you're going to...
'Clearly' Poised For A Pop?
January 10, 2007
You may have thought you were done with pop quizzes in your life, but we've got a short one for you today. Don't worry, your score isn't going to be reflected on your next job evaluation...this is just for fun. Besides, it's multiple choice - how hard could it be? Question: On September 20th, 2005, a...
Can Lightning Strike Twice?
January 05, 2007
Remember the cliché 'Expect it when you least expect it'? Technically it's impossible to do, yet it's still valuable advice even within the investing world. We think we're seeing this kind of scenario develop with shares of CEL-SCI Corporation (AMEX: CVM). Except for December's eye-popping news...
Dow Dogs - Applying the Strategy
January 03, 2007
The new year is here - the time when the turn of the calendar is accompanied by a wave of advice for investors, including ideas of what they should do over the next twelve months. Although we've always worked hard to provide commentary you really won't get anywhere else, we have no problem jumping into...
