Takin' Care of Business: Saying Bye, or Just See Ya' Later?
October 19, 2008
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...

Is The Market Truly Healed?, Interesting Insider Activity
September 20, 2008
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. I've got some thoughts on the short-term and long-term impact of the bailout, the likes of which we've never really seen. First though, some perspective on just how wild the ride...

The Silver Lining of the Lehman, Goldman, Merrill Trifecta
September 16, 2008
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. You...

What's Up With The Market? Something's Coming
September 05, 2008
I've never been one for subtle hints, so I'll go ahead and open the bag to let the cat out - you're going to want to be near your computer next Friday (the 12th) after the market closes. Unless something unexpected happens and we decide to reschedule, we'll have a new small cap trading idea for you ...a...

SpongeTech Posts Full-Year Numbers - What a Year!
September 02, 2008
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. One word. The press release and 10-K focus on the full-year numbers, which is fine. I also did a little algebra...

Cashin' In On The Ugly Side of Wine
August 21, 2008
For centuries wine has been a profitable industry. In fact, wine so engrained into our society now, the Wine Institute (yes, a legitimate organization) estimates wine sales totaled $26 billion in the U.S. alone a couple of years ago. That's a lot of dollars up for grabs. Of course, where there's money...

Applied DNA Quiets the Naysayers ...Again
August 15, 2008
If you wanted to know why SpongeTech Delivery Systems' stock rallied nearly 80% out of nowhere - from 2.5 cents to 4.5 cents - over the last four days, I may have at least part of the answer today. Plus, Applied DNA has once again silenced some of the naysayers. You can say whatever you want to about...

Two For Two on the Earnings Scoreboard - THC & COGT
August 11, 2008
Looks like a little willingness to take action on our Cogent Systems (NASDAQ: COGT) idea last weekend has paid off; the company did indeed post solid earnings last quarter. One of our older trading ideas - Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC) - also had a good quarter, pulling in considerably more than they...

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...

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...

SpongeTech's Got The Midas Touch
May 26, 2008
Happy Memorial Day everyone. I hope all of you are enjoying your time off and able to spend some time with family and friends. It's a day off for me as well, but there were a couple of things I wanted to convey while we weren't too distracted by other things. (Besides, I'm somehow able to get a lot more...

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. I think for those of you who don't own SPNG yet, you may want to after today. After...

Bio-Matrix on My Mind, Thoughts on Earnings
April 24, 2008
Form whatever opinion you want about earnings season and how individual companies have performed. One thing I think we can all agree on though is this - it's been one heck of a fireworks show so far. Though yesterday afternoon wasn't the grand finale, it was still pretty spectacular. Apple, Amazon, Starbucks...

Three Up, Three Down, But Time For a New Inning
April 22, 2008
I know we've focused a great deal on a select number of our stocks lately. However, if that's where the action and the news is, then that's where it is. Though only one of them had any news today, I want to take a quick look at all these charts and recap the latest corporate activity. Before that though...

Did SpongeTech Swing to Profit?
April 15, 2008
Last week I mentioned SpongeTech Delivery Systems (OTCBB: SPNG) was nearing the announcement of their third quarter numbers. We saw a pretty big jump during Q2, but between December 1st and February 28th, even more things fell into place in terms of sales. Based on the forecast and backlog, we should...

SpongeTech Getting More Air Time Than Michael Jordan
March 19, 2008
Looks like the television commercials SpongeTech Delivery Systems started running back in February have produced good enough results to merit more of them. How many more? Their frequency is increasing by 30% as of this week. We'll look at the details of the news below; for now let's just say SpongeTech...

Do Or Die Time For Stocks - What To Look For
March 08, 2008
No small cap suggestion for today, which is fine actually ...there are more important things to talk about after Friday's bearish end to an even more bearish week. The last time we looked, all the indices were toying with another breakdown. We pretty much got to the proverbial fork in the road after...

APDN Lays Another Piece Of The Puzzle, SPNG Turns Single Into Grand Slam
March 04, 2008
If you've ever worked a jigsaw puzzle before, you know how it goes....it can be a slow and overwhelming start, but as more pieces are laid, the pace quickens because the picture keeps getting clearer. Pretty soon all the pieces just seem to fall into place. Well, if Applied DNA were a 500 piece jigsaw...

February 16, 2008
I've got some of the 411 on our next small cap trading idea ...barring anything unforeseen happening between now and then, look for it on Wednesday or Thursday (probably Thursday) of this coming week.

Spongetech: Good Citizenship, Chart Unchained?
February 13, 2008
Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up in "takin' care of business" you forget about "takin' care of each other". The same is true - maybe especially true - when you're a fast-growing company trying to stay ahead of the competition. That's why news like today's is not only a breath of fresh air, but...

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...
