New Drilling stock 2010

2010-06-21T10:29:00.000+02:00

Demand for drilling equipment in the Eagleford is running high right now. ConocoPhillips, Petrohawk, and Enduring Resources all had rigs active with a few miles of where we stood.

Rig rates are soaring, equipment is hard to find, and almost nobody outside of the industry knows it... That's why land drillers look like fantastic speculations right now. I think we could make two or three times our money over the next 18 months. Let me show you why...

In the Eagleford, the number of rigs operating doubled this year. The rig count is up 68% in the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania. And it's up 65% in the Piceance Basin in Colorado. Today, there are 74% more rigs operating in the U.S. than there were a year ago.

Rig rates are climbing as operators lock in long-term contracts. Pioneer Natural Resources locked up several rigs on two-year contracts at $25,000 per day. That's up from $12,000 per day in 2009 and $6,000 more than operators paid a few weeks ago.

So revenues at the land drillers are climbing fast. But the stock market hasn't caught on. A lot of these drillers are selling at or even under book value.

For these kinds of companies, book value is essentially the price you could get if you sold the drill rigs. It's like the Blue Book value of your car. When my car is running fine, I'm not going to sell it for the Blue Book price.

The same thing goes for drill rigs. If you can get $25,000 per day renting your rig, you'd never sell it for peanuts... But that's exactly what the market is doing.

Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. (SNRY)

2010-06-17T10:28:00.000+02:00

Good Morning!
Solar Energy Initiatives, Inc. (SNRY) is a fast-growing company in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world: solar energy! The solar energy market is estimated to reach $34.5 Billion in sales in 2014.
SNRY is a diversified provider of solar solutions with three principal operating groups: large-scale commercial projects, solar education and distribution of solar products.
But first the chart!

SNRY's expected BIG run might be starting!

It appears that SNRY has put in a bottom at 10 cents and is springing off that base

Accumulation volume has come back into the stock after a prolonged sell-off

MACD has lost its downward momentum and is looking like it might cross

I'm looking for a full reversal in the MACD if the current accumulation continues

Stochastics are trending higher and the indicator is just emerging from oversold condition

With a 52-week high of 70 cents and the recent 52-week low 9 cents last week … SNRY might be ready to start its BIG run!

SNRY is doing everything it can to raise its share price!

According to Renewable Energy Access, annual demand for solar energy has increased 25% every year for the last fifteen years! And according to MIT's online magazine, Technology Review, the U.S. solar market is expected to DOUBLE in 2011 – and reach $34.5 Billion in 2014 according to SBI Energy.

That's a huge market for SNRY to dip into – which could ultimately provide SNRY and YOU with tremendous gains!

SNRY's three-pronged approach to increased profits:

1. Distribution - SNRY has created one of the largest and most successful solar panel dealer networks in the U.S.
The company posted sales in April of 2010 of $358,000 representing monthly growth of 85%. The company also reached profitability within the solar panel division.
2. Large Scale Projects - SNRY is an industry leader offering consulting and project management to developers, builders and municipalities.
The company announced in May that it has initiated phase one of a 1 Mega Watt solar energy installation in a southeastern city. The project is fully funded and expected to bring in $2 million in revenue in the 4th quarter ended July 31, 2010.

3. Solar EOS – because they are experts in all phases of solar energy, SNRY provides a variety of technical and business training designed for technicians and professionals involved with solar energy and its applications.

Learn more by visiting SolarEnergy.com, which is currently ranked #3 by Google for search terms: solar energy and solar power.

Such visible dominance in the solar energy field is already generating growing sales for SNRY, which posted revenues of $1.2 MILLION in the last quarter!

Solar Energy is the future and SNRY is now!

According to SolarPlaza.com, the U.S. is expected to become the largest photovoltaic solar energy market in the world … and SNRY is already a leader in this growing industry!
And an 8-year extension of the Federal Investment Tax Credit, as well as the anticipated drop in the cost of solar electric generation bodes EXTREMELY well for the Solar Industry – and SNRY's shares!
Bottom Line: SNRY is beginning to dominate the solar marketplace. And it's already profitable!
With revenues of over $1.2 Million in the last quarter alone – and a share price of around 12-cents – my advice to you is...

Greetings Trader!

MFGD got off to a great start today with strong buying volume and a gain of over 10% for my members.

Not bad for a couple hours of work!

The best part is that I think this could be just the first day of many more up days with MFGD.

Have you seen that chart? The MACD has crossed the "0" line, transforming itself from a mild bullish signal to STRONG. The buzz has also been very positive as well as the accumulation continues to be strong.

This stock has a LONG way to go just to get back to March's levels, so watch this one closely.

It isn't very often you see a potential $70 MILLION company trading for 15 cents!

So CONGRATULATIONS on the gains you may have already made, but keep watching for more!

Talk to you soon,

NT Mining Corporation

2010-06-09T14:23:00.000+02:00

NT Mining Corporation (Pinksheets:: NTMG) (the Company) reports that it is negotiating terms with the intention of signing a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with the owner of a gold property located on Valentine Mountain in southern British Columbia, Canada.
After a recent visit to the mine site, management has concluded that the property has merit and wishes to move forward with the acquisition of its second gold property. The majority of machinery and equipment are already on site, there is good accessibility to the property, and the Southern location experiences mild weather, which will allow for year round production.
This acquisition will allow the Company to reduce costs, increase profitability, and focus on production throughout the year. With two or more projects, the risk factor and operational costs can be shared between the properties thereby increasing profitability.

EPS-Earnings-Shares-School

2010-04-16T09:36:00.005+02:00

EPS = Net Earnings / Outstanding Shares
One of the challenges of evaluating stocks is establishing an “apples to apples” comparison. What I mean by this is setting up a comparison that is meaningful so that the results help you make an investment decision.

Similarly, comparing the earnings of one company to another really doesn’t make any sense, if you think about it. Using the raw numbers ignores the fact that the two companies undoubtedly have a different number of outstanding shares.

For example, companies A and B both earn $100, but company A has 10 shares outstanding, while company B has 50 shares outstanding. Which company’s stock do you want to own?
It makes more sense to look at earnings per share (EPS) for use as a comparison tool. You calculate earnings per share by taking the net earnings and divide by the outstanding shares.

EPS = Net Earnings / Outstanding Shares

Using our example above, Company A had earnings of $100 and 10 shares outstanding, which equals an EPS of 10 ($100 / 10 = 10). Company B had earnings of $100 and 50 shares outstanding, which equals an EPS of 2 ($100 / 50 = 2).
So, you should go buy Company A with an EPS of 10, right? Maybe, but not just on the basis of its EPS. The EPS is helpful in comparing one company to another, assuming they are in the same industry, but it doesn’t tell you whether it’s a good stock to buy or what the market thinks of it. For that information, we need to look at some ratios.
Before we move on, you should note that there are three types of EPS numbers:

Trailing EPS – last year’s numbers and the only actual EPS
Current EPS – this year’s numbers, which are still projections
Forward EPS – future numbers, which are obviously projections

MNLU-StockAlert-Good-Morning

2010-04-15T10:56:00.000+02:00

Good Morning,

Mainland Resources, Incorporated (MNLU) is a gas exploration and production company that owns several properties in Louisiana and Mississippi—all of which are located on top of the Haynesville Shale Gas Formation—the largest gas field in the United States!

Haynesville's gas reserves are estimated to be in excess of 160 TRILLION cubic feet of gas!

More about MNLU's impressive fundamentals in a moment.

MNLU's chart says: a breakout could be coming!

I look at MNLU's chart and I see a stock on an uptrend. For me, the latest dip is nothing more than a buying opportunity.

MNLU hit a 2010 high of $1.88 in January—and it could break through that resistance level in the relative near-term

Volume is strong and buyers are beginning to dominate

The MACD is strongly bullish and on a definite uptrend.

MNLU has cash, gas and growth on its side!

Just last month MNLU sold one of their leases in the Haynesville formation for $27 MILLION—which they'll now use to expand already existing operations and look for other profitable properties.

Their still existing operations include...

The DeSoto Parish Lease in Northwest Louisiana and the even larger Buena Vista Prospect, in Mississippi.

Now for news that Wall Street moves on!

MNLU announced its intent to merge with another E&P outfit, American Exploration Corporation (OTCBB: AEXP), in a transaction valued at almost $18 Million!
In a stock-for-stock merger, MNLU will be the surviving corporation, and will be vested with ALL of American Exploration's assets and properties.

2010-04-14T10:56:00.000+02:00

Good Afternoon!

There are no guarantees that MNLU will be another ALME (an 80% gainer when all was said and done!), but the signs I'm seeing are encouraging.

MNLU's first day was positive: Strong volume of around 1 million shares, and a first day gain of around 10%--plus the chart still looks good. The MACD and Stochastics continue to be bullish.

Prepare for more gains with MNLU, but make sure you protect your downside. Bottom Line: look for more opportunities to pocket more profits with MNLU going forward.

See you on the boards,ProGuru

Simple-Fibronacci-Numbers-Analysis

2010-04-14T09:18:00.006+02:00

Fibonacci

numbers are the result of work by Leonardo Fibonacci in the early 1200's while studying the Great Pyramid of Gizeh. The fibonacci series is a numerical sequence comprised of adding the previous numbers together, i.e.,

(1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233 etc..)

An interesting property of these numbers is that as the series proceeds, any given number is 1.618 times the preceding number and 0.618% of the next number.

(34/55 = 55/89 = 144/233 =0.618) (55/34 =89/55 =233/144 =1.618), and 1.618 =1/0.618.

This properties of the fibonacci series occur throughout nature, science and math and is the number 0.618 is often referred to as the "golden ratio" as it is the root of the following polynomial x^2+x-1=0 which can be rearranged to x= 1/(1+x).

So that's were the fib # 0.618 comes from. The other fibs 0.382 and 0.5 commonly used in technical analysis have a less impressive background but are just as powerful in Technical analysis.

0.382=(1-.618)=(0.618*0.618)

and 0.5 is the mean of the two numbers.

Other neat fib facts (0.618*(1+0.618)=1 and (0.382*(1+.618))=0.618.

Use of Fibonacci #'s in Technical Analysis
Fibonacci numbers are commonly used in Technical Analysis with or without a knowledge of Elliot wave analysis to determine potential support, resistance, and price objectives. 38.2% retracements usually imply that the prior trend will continue, 61.8% retracements imply a new trend is establishing itself. A 50% retracement implies indecision. 38.2% retracements are considered nautral retracements in a healthy trend.

ABC's

A-B =C-D when B-C =38.2% of A-B

Confluence

Trading Strageties JMHO

Once a new swing point is established in an equity, a new set of fibonacci numbers should be calculated, and confluence checked to determine potential support/resistance levels and trading strategies. (let the Fibonacci Calculator do most of the work for you). For instance:

If a stock is trending up, one may watch it until it forms a top then calculate the fibs. If she retraces 38.2% and turns with confluence, one could bite with an automatic stop under the 50% retracement and objective of the ABC. The Risk/Reward ratio for that trade is 0.118. (If you got stopped out 8 times and hit once you would have a 5.6% profit).

If she's trending down, you could bite at the 38.2% bounce with a stop at the 50% and get the same risk/reward ratio. With both strategies it is critical for the volume to be heavier on the swing point breakout.

If a position is going with you and you're looking for an exit point, calculate the 38.2% fib once a top is clear and put a stop below it. Won't get you out at the top but you may not miss that monster rally either.

Think a stock is a dog but it's trading at it's high wait for a 61.8% retracement from the last trend and sell it, with the stop below the 50% retracement.

History
Candlestick charting can be traced back to the 1700's as a tool used for rice trading. One of the great rice traders of the 1800's, Homma is widely credited for developing the candlestick charting basics used today. In the west, Candlestick Charting has grown in popularity and use, thanks to the efforts of Steve Nisson and Greg Morris. Candlestick charts are visually appealing and can be a valuable tool in the technicians toolbox as it gives insight into current investor sentiment, allowing for the determination of short term tops and bottoms.

Summary Analysis

AAC is overvalued compared to its Price of $0.08 per share, has below average safety, and is currently rated a Sell.

Graphs

Actus Minerals

Mining (Other)

Detailed Analysis

Company Information
Business: Actus Minerals, (AAC) Actus Minerals Corp. engages in the exploration and development of base and precious metal properties in Canada and internationally. It focuses on the exploration of semi-massive to massive sulphide on the Kayla property located in Levy Township, Abitibi Region, Quebec. The Kayla property consists of 6 mining claims, which comprise a surface area of 78.73 hectares. The company was incorporated in 2006 and is headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Capital Appreciation

Value: Value is a measure of a stock's current worth. AAC has a current Value of $0.01 per share. Therefore, it is overvalued compared to its Price of $0.08 per share. Value is computed from forecasted earnings per share, forecasted earnings growth, profitability, interest, and inflation rates. Value increases when earnings, earnings growth rate and profitability increase, and when interest and inflation rates decrease. VectorVest advocates the purchase of undervalued stocks. At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.

RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. AAC has an RV of 0.42, which is very poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, Scotia Capital Incorporated Corporate Long Term Bonds, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. We favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.

RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. AAC has an RS rating of 0.60, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the database. We favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial performance.

RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's price trend. AAC has a Relative Timing rating of 0.78, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock's price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. We favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.

VST (VST): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the database. AAC has a VST rating of 0.63, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciation. We advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued stocks rising in price.

Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. AAC has a Sell recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. We recommends that investors buy high VST, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.

Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position. AAC has a Stop of $0.08 per share. This is $0 above AAC's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.

GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. AAC has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of 21.00%, which VectorVest considers to be excellent. GRT is computed from historical, current and forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. We favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, as shown weekly in our investment climate report.

EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. AAC has a forecasted EPS of $-0.01 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.

P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings. AAC has a P/E of -8.00. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the database is 748.95. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.

EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative earnings. AAC has an EY of -12.50 percent. This is below the current average of 0.15% for all the stocks in the database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).

GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. AAC has a GPE rating of -2.62. High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 5.48%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.30. Therefore, AAC may be considered to be overvalued.

Dividend Information

DIV (Dividend): the reports annual, regular, cash dividends as indicated by the most recent payments. Special distributions, one-time payments, stock dividends, etc., are not generally included in DIV. AAC does not pay a dividend.

DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects dividend per share as a percent of Price. AAC does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Yield rating. . DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.

DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. AAC does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Safety rating . Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.

DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a company's financial performance. It also provides some insight into the board's outlook on the company's ability to increase earnings. AAC does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Growth rating .

YSG (YSG): YSG is an indicator which combines DIV, DY and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the database. AAC does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a YSG rating . Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.

At some point in time, a stock's Price and Value always will converge.

RV (Relative Value): RV is an indicator of long-term price appreciation potential. FEED has an RV of 1.00, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. This indicator is far superior to a simple comparison of Price and Value because it is computed from an analysis of projected price appreciation three years out, AAA Corporate Bond Rates, and risk. RV solves the riddle of whether it is preferable to buy High growth, High P/E stocks, or Low growth, Low P/E stocks. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RV ratings above 1.00.

RS (Relative Safety): RS is an indicator of risk. FEED has an RS rating of 0.85, which is fair on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RS is computed from an analysis of the consistency and predictability of a company's financial performance, debt to equity ratio, sales volume, business longevity, price volatility and other factors. A stock with an RS rating greater than 1.00 is safer and more predictable than the average stock in the VectorVest database. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks of companies with consistent, predictable financial performance.

RT (Relative Timing): RT is a fast, smart, accurate indicator of a stock's price trend. FEED has a Relative Timing rating of 0.67, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. RT is computed from an analysis of the direction, magnitude, and dynamics of a stock's price movements over one day, one week, one quarter and one year time periods. Once a stock's price has established a strong trend, it is expected to continue in that trend for the short-term. If a trend dissipates, RT will gravitate toward 1.00. RT will explode from bottoms, dive from tops, and reflect changes in price momentum. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks with RT ratings above 1.00.

VST (VST-Vector): VST is the master indicator for ranking every stock in the VectorVest database. FEED has a VST rating of 0.83, which is poor on a scale of 0.00 to 2.00. VST is computed from the square root of a weighted sum of the squares of RV, RS, and RT. Stocks with the highest VST ratings have the best combinations of Value, Safety and Timing. These are the stocks to own for above average, long-term capital appreciation. VectorVest advocates the purchase of safe, undervalued stocks rising in price.

Recommendation (REC): VectorVest gives a Buy, Sell, Hold recommendation on every stock, every day. FEED has a Hold recommendation. REC reflects the cumulative effect of all the VectorVest parameters working together. These parameters are designed to help investors buy safe, undervalued stocks rising in price. They also help investors avoid or sell risky, overvalued stocks falling in price. VectorVest recommends that investors buy high VST-Vector, Buy-rated stocks in rising markets.

Stop (Stop-Price): Stop is an indicator of when to sell a long position or cover a short position. FEED has a Stop of $4.36 per share. This is $0.05 below FEED's current closing Price. A stock's Stop is computed from a 13 week moving average of its closing prices, and is fine-tuned according to the stock's fundamentals. High RV, high RS stocks have lower Stops, and low RV, low RS stocks have higher Stops. In the VectorVest system, a stock gets a 'B' or 'H' recommendation if its Price is above its Stop and an 'S' recommendation if its Price is below its Stop.

GRT (Earnings Growth Rate): GRT reflects a company's one to three year forecasted earnings growth rate in percent per year. FEED has a forecasted Earnings Growth Rate of -4.00%, which VectorVest considers to be very poor. GRT is computed from historical, current and forecasted earnings data. It is updated each week for every stock in the VectorVest database. GRT often foretells a stock's future price trend. If a stock's GRT trend is upward, the stock's price will likely rise. If GRT is trending downward, the stock's Price will probably fall. VectorVest favors the purchase of stocks whose GRT is rising and is greater than the sum of current inflation and interest rates, as shown weekly in our investment climate report.

EPS (Earnings per Share): EPS stands for leading 12 months Earnings Per Share. FEED has a forecasted EPS of $0.48 per share. VectorVest determines this forecast from a combination of recent earnings performance and traditional fiscal and/or calendar year earnings forecasts.

P/E (Price to Earnings Ratio): P/E is a popular measure of stock valuation which shows the dollars required to buy one dollar of earnings. FEED has a P/E of 9.19. This ratio may be deemed to be high or low depending upon your frame of reference. The average P/E of all the stocks in the VectorVest database is 72.25. P/E is computed daily using the formula: P/E = Price/EPS.

EY (Earnings Yield): EY reflects earnings per share as a percent of Price. EY is related to P/E via the formula, EY = 100 / (P/E), and may be used in place of P/E as a measure of valuation. EY has the advantages that it is always determinate and can reflect negative earnings. FEED has an EY of 10.88 percent. This is above the current average of 1.38% for all the stocks in the VectorVest database. EY equals 100 x (EPS/Price).

GPE (Growth to P/E Ratio): GPE is another popular measure of stock valuation. It compares earnings growth rate to P/E ratio. FEED has a GPE rating of -0.43. High growth stocks are believed to be able to justify high P/E ratios. A stock is commonly considered to be undervalued when GPE is greater than 1.00 and overvalued when GPE is below 1.00. Unfortunately, this rule of thumb does not take into account the effect of interest rates on P/E ratios. The operative GPE ratio of 1.00 is valid when and only when interest rates equal 10%. With long-term interest rates currently at 4.29%, the operative GPE ratio is 0.18. Therefore, FEED may be considered to be overvalued.

Dividend Information

DY (Dividend Yield): DY reflects dividend per share as a percent of Price. FEED does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Yield rating. . DY equals 100 x (DIV/Price). It is useful to compare DY with EY. If DY is not significantly lower than EY, the dividend payment may be in jeopardy.

DS (Dividend Safety): DS is an indicator of the assurance that regular cash dividends will be declared and paid at current or at higher rates for the foreseeable future. FEED does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Safety rating . Stocks with DS values above 75 typically have RS values well above 1.00 and EY levels that are much higher than DY.

DG (Dividend Growth Rate): Dividend Growth is a subtle yet important indicator of a company's financial performance. It also provides some insight into the board's outlook on the company's ability to increase earnings. FEED does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a Dividend Growth rating .

YSG (YSG-Vector): YSG is an indicator which combines DIV, DY and DG into a single value, and allows direct comparison of all dividend-paying stocks in the database. FEED does not pay a dividend, so it does not have a YSG rating . Stocks with the highest YSG values have the best combinations of Dividend Yield, Safety and Growth. These are the stocks to buy for above average current income and long-term growth.

Detailed Analysis

Same Movie- But Different Ending For Different People

2009-11-06T21:09:00.000+01:00

Forget about the short term trading issues in these China situations for a moment, and let's look at a bigger and far more interesting issue. Here's some reasonable EPS estimates for several of our China based companies- CREG- $.25 to $.30 EPS in '09; NFEC- $.47 to $.60 in EPS in '09; UTA- $1.20 in EPS in '09; CEU- $.60 to $.75 in EPS in '09.

What do all this companies have in common? Strong top line growth, great margins, no debt, and very low valuations. Valuing companies in order to predict what the market might be willing to say they are worth down the road is tricky business.

There's a couple of old rules of thumb one can go buy. PE Ratio (Price to Earnings) as a measure of value has been used for years, and every analyst uses this measure as one component of their research. The mature behemoths of the DOW tend to trade at a PE multiple of 10 to 12- another words, the stock trades at 10 to 12 times EPS. Growth companies tend to trade at much higher multiples- 20 to 100 times EPS. Here's a rule for long term investors that has worked for years- A stock will eventually trade at a PE equivalent to 1/2 its growth rate.

So, let's take CEU as an example. The company has reported about 80% growth so far this year. This suggests the stock will eventually trade about a PE of about 1/2 it's growth rate- 40. Based on the first half of '09, the company will earn at least $.60 this year. 40x.$.60 = $24. Yet the stock is only trading at $5. How can this be?

Here's a case where there's a lot of people watching the same movie, but drawing different conclusions. The answer can be found in the general skepticism that pervades everything China.

The movie I'm watching is about a country exploding with commerce, boasting the largest emerging consumer class in history, and a government committed to infrastructure, green technologies, education, health care, and the general well being of its citizens.

Here's an anecdotal story for you. This past Monday night I had dinner with a hedge fund manager who had just returned from 3 weeks in China. Over the course of that 3 weeks, this guy visited 26 different companies. He told me the level of commerce and activity was through the roof, and management was willing to meet in the evenings, weekends- anytime.

He told me it was an eye opening experience, and likened it to visiting Silicon Valley in the early to mid 90's- and we all know how that turned out.

Recent articles I have also call into question the "quality" of earnings companies are reporting. For example, LDK Solar (NYSE: LDK) and Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE) had the quality of their earnings questioned by some analysts.

There have been numerous allegations Chinese companies have poor corporate governance and "shady dealings" going on behind the scenes.

Then, there's the issue of the "C" word- Communist- many point out China is a communist country to this day, and hence can't be trusted. I would suggest the opposite is true as it relates to growth and a business friendly environment.

It's true- the Communist Party rules China. If we're going to liken investing in China to investing in the US in the '50's times 28, then we have to compare business friendly governments.

The Chinese government is still communist, but it's as capitalistic as it gets. I would suggest China offers a better business environment than the 50's version of the US.

In China, when the government decides to do something, they do it the next day. There's no bureaucracy. A watered down version of a stimulus bill doesn't take 8 months to go through Congress where it comes out laden with special interest pork. Just the opposite is true. In China, a stimulus package is decided and acted on in a nano second.

The Chinese government is moving rapidly to clear up these "misconceptions" about what's going on in China. They are moving even more rapidly to clean up their highly polluted air, and move their economy from export driven to internally driven growth.

What's the ending in your version of the movie? Do you believe as I do in two years we'll be looking back and wondering why we didn't back up the truck on some of these valuations. Surely, as time goes by, and these companies become more attractive to Western capital, the valuations will find their way to more typical US type multiples.

Or, are you a skeptic? Are you having a hard time believing the numbers are this good? If so, you might want to seek growth elsewhere, but you won't find it as easily in the US.

I believe the market's skepticism is our opportunity, and I'll need 1 to 2 years to be proven right.

China Recycling Energy (OTC BB: CREG): The Annuity Model That Keeps on Giving

2009-11-04T21:05:00.002+01:00

There's a lot to go over with earnings season for the small companies getting into full swing over the next two weeks. A few will file between now and the 15th, and then there will be a barrage of reports to go over right around the 15th.

In my last edition we discussed strategy for the long awaited market correction. If there was any doubt there's a sentiment shift and a downside bias, it was erased on Friday. Last Wednesday, the market sold off. Thursday, it rebounded on the 3% GDP news, then Friday it tanked, making a lower low.

I believe this correction is welcome, long overdue, and resets the bar to allow the trillions of dollars on the sidelines get into the market with some reasonable upside.

Earnings season for large caps is over. About 75% of companies that have reported beat expectations. As usual, the analysts swung too far, and the market continued chugging higher as we all learned corporate America is in pretty good shape. Earnings are now fully priced in, and the market will have to hang its hat on economic news for the foreseeable future- a bit of a murky picture.

I suggested getting some capital ready to go bargain hunting for the right companies after we see their numbers. Two OTC Journal followings have delivered outstanding developments in the past two days- Tianyan Pharma (AMEX: TPI), and China Recycling Energy (OTC BB: CREG).

Of the two, CREG is the one I'll cover today- TPI will follow tomorrow. This is great stuff, and CREG might not want to wait for the correction to run its course to start climbing again.

Today, CREG reported it has completed a major installation at Shenmu County Jiujiang Trading Co., Ltd. The installation will result in reduced annual coal consumption of 52,000 tons, equivalent of 130,000 tons of CO2 emissions. This is a protype of the BOT (Build, Operate, and Transfer) model I covered in the original presentation.

The completion of the project is of interest to shareholders. However, the way they are going to collect the money over the next 10 years is of far greater interest to shareholders, and suggests this stock is absurdly undervalued.

Here's the facts as discussed in today's release: CREG will recognize revenue of $18.3 million in the upcoming Q3 report from this installation. In the June quarter, CREG reported $11.1 million in revenues of which $9.5 million was product sales. Therefore, we are assured of about a double in product sales over the last quarterly report.

CREG also disclosed COG was $14.1 million, leaving $4.2 million in gross profits to be reported. That's great, but it's one project. Now they have to do it again this quarter or they become another short story - Or do they?

Read on. Here's why I believe this is the stock to own in this sector, and why I believe this company will be generating huge profits for years to come. As it turns out, CREG still owns the system, and will operate for the next ten years. Shenmu has the obligation to provide its industrial coke production to the system, and CREG then uses it to generate recycled power. Shenmu then has to buy the recycled power from CREG for the next 10 years for about $500,000 per month- yes- that's $500,000 per month in revenues - $1.5 million per quarter- $6 million per year in recurring revenues.

So, what's CREG's cost to collect this $6 million in annual revenues? Glad you asked- CREG has to pay rent for the space the system takes up of $7,300 per year, and about $438,000 in annual management costs. Nice- in all, this adds up to $38.4 million in interest income over the next 10 years with about 10% annual costs. They need to pay the staff to collect the money. At the end of the 10 year lease, Shenmu takes ownership. Until that time, CREG owns the asset.

Imagine a company with about 10 of these installations? It would equate to $60 million per year in recurring revenues that would be about 90% pure profit. What a business model. CREG makes money on the design, manufacture, and installation of the project, then collects big money for 10 years. I love it.

The coming quarterly report will be interesting in light of today's news. We know they're going to report a strong quarter, but I can't gauge what the rental/lease revenue side of the quarter will look like. We now know the project side will be a double over the June quarter, which should be enough to send this stock higher.

There's 38.8 million shares I&O- about a $78 million market valuation. The annual revenue run rate is likely in the $60 million range at this point in time, and we know the company will now have earnings of about $.14 per share just on the rental/lease recurring revenues from this installation alone - and for the next ten years.

Nine more just like it would equate to $1.40 in EPS annually in recurring revenues. It could happen in the next 3 years. No wonder Carlyle Group owns 31% of the company- they know a good investment.

Long term this could be a $20 stock if they keep completing projects of this nature. The stock has already started rebounding today.

Is it worth thinking a little more long term with these smaller stocks? It's the only way you're going to make any real money. One of my business associated can attest that thinking a little longer term could pay off.

Last March he picked up a rather sizable position in Ford (NYSE: F) at $1.75 when it looked like the Auto Industry was about to shut down. He sold it at $2.75, and thought he was a trading genius for the moment. Today, he doesn't feel that smart watching it trade through $7.50 just six months later.

CREG has the killer business model, and this stock is destined for much higher levels in my view.

Force Protection (NASDAQ: FRPT)

2009-09-30T09:04:00.001+02:00

I noted in my September 17th edition that FRPT, a stock only offering a meager profit at this point in time, was coming back at the end of September.

Yesterday, we learned why. The Army just ordered another $52.8 million worth of these bad boys. This is the most advanced mine resistant vehicle in the world.

I published on this stock back on July 18 at $5.20. It's currently trading at $5.67- not exactly flying up the charts like some of my other ideas of late. Net profit: 9% so far.

This recent order has the stock back in the market's reasonably good graces, but there is a lot of work to do before we make any real money on this idea.

However, this company should do in the range of $1/2 billion in annual revenues for the next five years, and I know one analyst that believes the company will earn about $.45 in EPS this year. Any reasonable valuation would put the stock at $9 or $10 if those numbers come to pass.

I still believe the market over reacted to a contract loss mid summer, and there is a huge gap that will be filled eventually. Check out the chart.

In mid July FRPT lost a rather large contract to a competitor, and you can see what happened with the stock. It absolutely got killed in one day. It closed at $9, and reopened at $6.

I believe in typical knee jerk fashion, the market has over reacted to the event, and the stock is worth far more than where it's trading today. Look for this one to really surge once we either get past the perceived correction, or the market extends far enough sideways for the buyers to be emboldened and jump back in.

AFPW, a hydrogen frontrunner for the Hideout and humanity!

2009-09-26T15:59:00.000+02:00

AFPW, a hydrogen frontrunner for the Hideout and humanity!

You like winners and we like winners! The Hideout aims to be triumphant, and we are hoping to close this week 8 for our last 8. We suggest you pull up your trading platform on AFPW and experience the victory. You might agree; you simply can’t lose with the Hideout!

Alumifuel Power, (AFPW), is an alternative energy company that generates hydrogen gas and steam for multiple niche applications. A 2008 Annual Reportmost promising, sustainable, carbon-friendly pathways to achieving the twin goals of national energy security and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.” from the US Department of Energy by the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technical Advisory Committee clearly states, “Hydrogen and fuel cells offer one of the

The size of the hydrogen market itself is out of this world! In the United States alone, the market is $1.27 billion (2007) and globally it is $1.7 billion (2007). What's more exciting is the generator and battery replacement market for mobile and portable fuel cell systems at an astonishing $7.9 billion and AFPW aims to profit from this.

So what is AFPW working on that makes us excited?

AFPW hydrogen drives fuel cells for back-up, portable and remote power
Hydrogen and steam drive underwater propulsion systems and a new class of turbine-based portable and auxiliary power systems
AFPW hydrogen inflates devices such as weather balloons for military and World Meteorological Organization applications

In the news, senior analyst Robert Goldman has issued a research report on AFPW with a price target of $0.40 - Goldman has been an analyst for over 20 years and served with prominent Wall Street firms including Piper Jaffray and Josephthal & Co.

Spicy Pickle (OTC BB: SPKL)

2009-09-26T15:57:00.000+02:00

Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, your belief might be reinforced by yesterday's news revelation out of Spicy Pickle. This is a Denver based restaurant chain owning two brands- the Spicy Pickle fast casual brand in the US, and the Bread Garden Urban Cafes in western Canada.

All told, there are about 52 stores in the chain between the two brands. By year's end there will be about 60 with the a number of additional units opening in the Vacouver area. Three of the new Bread Garden units will be smack dab in the middle of the Winter Olympics coming early next year. They have a unit at the Vancouver Airport, the outdoor walking mall at the Whistler Ski Area, and a new one being constructed at the giant sports complex that will hold many of the major winter events.

Spicy Pickle (SPKL) was a huge win for OTC Journal subscribers in the Fall of 2007- two years ago at this time the stock made a run from $.60 to $2 and traded millions of shares between $1.50 and $2.

Unfortunately for both SPKL and its shareholders, the recession took the wind out of their sales, and US based franchise activity in this space has been at a virtual standstill for about 12 months.

SPKL did make one brilliantly strategic move- before the collapse of the equity markets, SPKL, in an all stock transaction, bought the parent company of the Bread Garden Urban Cafes in Vancouver.

Unlike the US, Western Canada was not involved in toxic assets, credit default swaps, or zero down, non qualified mortgages. There's was a bit of a slow down temporarily up there, but nothing like we've seen here.

The Bread Garden Urban Cafe chain has been growing gangbusters, and it is starting to achieve meaningful critical mass for Spicy Pickle. There were only 3 Bread Garden locations a year ago- now there's about 16 with several more opening in the near future.

There was big news out of SPKL yesterday, and once investors understand what has happened, it could put a charge back into a stock that has been dead on the screen and languishing between $.15 and $.20 for most of 2009.

In December of 2007 SPKL issued $6 million in covertible preferred shares. The conversion price was $.85. However, there were two provisions of interest to shareholders. One allowed the company to buy back the preferred at a reasonable premium within a certain time frame. With the current market conditions, it's pretty clear that wasn't going to happen.

Secondly and far more onerous for the market was the provision that allowed for a much lower conversion price in the future, which could have led to massive dillution.

Yesterday, SPKL pulled off the coup of coups, and rid itself completely of that convertible preferred while at the same time raising an additional $2.1 million cash.

$800,000 of that capital went to buy out a huge chunk of the preferred at about $.20 on the dollar. The remainder of that particular investor's preferred was converted to common stock at $1.25 per share.

The remaining preferred holders- myself included to the tune of $102,000, converted our preferred into common stock at $.425 per share- nearly three times the current market price of the stock.

If this seems a bit confusing it's because it is a bit confusing. To make it simple, I'll simply point out there are no more preferred shares which represented massive potential dillution, and the company is cashed back up with an excess $1.2 million to fuel its operations from here forward. The transaction closed yesterday.

One more simple point- the remaining preferred holders which includes yours truly accepted our shares at $.425 - nearly triple the current market, and we all own some warrants that convert at $.20. All in all, a massive win for shareholders.

I believe this news, as investors start to understand it, will put a charge back in SPKL. It could trade into the $.25 range in short order. We'll see.

Looking a bit further down the road, SPKL, in my view, is likely to turn at least cash flow positive in Q1 of 2010, and now they have the cash in hand to absorb the small loss they will notch over the remainder of this year.

The Bread Garden Urban Cafe chain is not only expanding very rapidly in Western Canada, but there's also a pilot unit open in Australia as an experiment.

Franchise interest is stating to pick up in the US as the economy improves and capital is starting to slowly become available. There's no reason this stock couldn't go back to $.40 to $.50 this year, and possibly higher next.

I believe you are going to see a lot of this with smaller companies. If this year's recession didn't kill them, they will cut favorable arrangements with financiers and come back to life. It's kind of like renegotiating your mortgage. The bank would rather take the write down and have you in a mortgage you can afford. The financiers just took a big write down on Spicy Pickle, and SPKL shareholders got out from under a big obligation to their benefit.

With the stock so blown out, it will probably have a big surge to the upside in the short term. That's typical of these kinds of situations- see recent idea BOCX as the model. Completely blown out and the stock quadrupled on the first reasonable volume in months.

The Skinny on CalAmp (NASDAQ: CAMP)

2009-09-17T10:34:00.000+02:00

Here's why it's worth reading the OTC Journal. Here's the skinny on CalAmp, and why no one quite gets when it's so undervalued today. I've got pictures.

About 80% of their business is related to your standard satellite receivers- you know- DirecTV- Dish Network- AT&T- they all put these satellite receivers on your house.

CAMP supplies these things along with other components. Now- here's the culprit. It looks something like this- or close to it.

This is a little box that is built into the receiver somewhere. It sits somewhere between the satellite dish and your set top box. It boosts and manipulates the satellite signal.

In 2007, CAMP shipped out piles of defective versions of these thanks to a PCB (printed circuit board) supplier. They failed in bad weather. You might have had one on your home system.

CAMP took an $80 million write down in one year, and they have a gigantic pile of them warehoused now. They aren't throwing them away. They are being fixed and shipped.

However, here's the key- when they fix one and ship it, they don't recognize a revenue stream. It's just a balance sheet change- warranty liability goes down, and cash goes up.

Therefore, when they finally run out of these defective parts, the top revenue line will all of a sudden start surging as they sell the new ones they manufacture. They should run out of the defective warranty versions in April or May of next year, and there will be a surge of growth.

In the meantime, they are using this excess cash flow to pay down debt.

I believe they can earn $.27 to $.30 next fiscal year, which starts December 1. The chart you're looking at is long term, and it gives you an idea of the upside. This is a weekly chart going back to 2007.

You can see where the stock collapsed after the defective parts were disclosed. Now, we're in a recovery phase. The stock, over the longer term, is entitled to trade back to a 61.8% retracement of the whole move down.

This would put is at $5.70. Not totally coincidentally, at 20 x the 2011 estimate of $.27 EPS, the stock trades at $5.40. If there's significant top line growth, look out for much higher levels.

Others are starting to catch on as you can see. It could trade sideways for a while or correct after the recent surge, but CAMP is now headed in the right direction.

Trading BOCX

2009-09-14T10:53:00.001+02:00

The next steps for the company are to continue making progress towards the commercialization of the RECAF screening test. Nothing's been publicly confirmed yet, but in reviewing the company's history and news, one has to believe BioCurex has been lining up some deals and licensees.

With that being said, I've got two final points to make.

First, most of you know how biotech works - a huge portion of a stock's gains come before the biotech company makes its first cent.

Take Gilead Sciences (GILD) or Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) for instance. Gilead wasn't even close to being profitable until the fourth quarter of 2001, yet shares rallied from $1.00 to $7.00 over the nine years before that swing to a profit. Vertex has only posted six profitable quarters in the last 18 years (and none since 2003), yet VRTX shares are nearly 400% higher than they were 18 years ago.

That's not to say BioCurex is the next Gilead or Vertex. It might be - I just don't know. All I'm saying is with biotech, if you're not out in front, then you're automatically behind. That leads me to my other message....

Second, I can't stress enough how well the timing of this trading idea has lined up.

Like almost all stocks, BOCX suffered the bear market by pulling back from its 2007 peak around 90 cents. The tumble didn't stop until March of this year, as was also the case with the rest of the market. Welcome to the club. Since then, BOCX has been range-bound between 4 cents and 11 cents while the rest of the biotech market has rallied.

But wait a second... how is it a good thing if BioCurex trails?

The longer a stock can move in a range, the stronger the breakout is likely to be once it materializes. And, given the market's euphoria over biotech lately, I firmly believe it's more a matter of 'when' rather than 'if' for BioCurex.

I'd never deny that it was the swine flu craze and Dendreon's (DNDN) cancer vaccine update earlier in the year that jump-started the biotech frenzy, but make no mistake - the buzz has been sustained based on these biotech companies' own merits. I think BioCurex's day is coming soon too.

One of the supporting clues to the theory is today's somewhat mundane news release (below) from BioCurex. A couple of new directors were named to the board.

I'd be the first to say it's not a barn-burner as far as news goes, but having observed the BioCurex PR machine for a few years now, I'd also say this is likely to be the beginning of a string of company news that grows in importance as each press release is posted. See, the company has historically posted news in waves, and kicks those campaigns off with a mere 'stir the pot' kind of release like this one.

I don't know for sure what's coming next in terms of announcements, but I'm certain I'd rather wade in now between the $0.04 to $0.11 range instead of trying to chase BOCX if the next news item catapults the stock. RECAF is simply a great biotechnology that has the potential to send the major diagnostic companies back-pedaling, and investors can participate in that for only 7 cents a share. BOCX is not likely to stay priced at these levels for long.

So, here's how I'd suggest playing it - any entry under $0.11 cents is fine, though something under $0.09 cents would be ideal. I don't think a decent entry will be a problem though. As for a SSL, let's use the bottom of the established range... $0.04 cents. I don't want to set a target level just yet, but stay tuned for it.

Cel-Sci (AMEX: CVM): Breaking Out

2009-08-27T08:20:00.000+02:00

There's a volume and price explosion on Cel-Sci (CVM)- my biotech idea that I brought to you at $.36 on June 13th. Today, the stock has traded over 30 million shares and is at the high end of its range for the day. Look at the chart.

The company just raised another $5 million on its way to getting into Phase III clinical trials for its cancer therapty Multikine. The market loves it. My price target on this one was $.75, so if you were in it for a trade you might want to think about locking in some profits as it approaches that level. That's more than a double in 60 days- 108% to be exact.

Longer term investors capable of thinking multiple years might look for far higher levels. This therapy could be worth billions down the road.

NFES Successfully Becomes NFEC

2009-08-27T08:19:00.001+02:00

The reverse split has taken place, and the stock is in great shape. As I write today's update, NFEC, the old NFES post 3 for 1 reverse split, is now bid $5.25, offered $6.50 on 24,000 shares of volume. There were some very early prints at $20, which is just ridiculous. The Market Maker that filled that trade should be shot. If you were the buyer here's my adivce- always use a limit order or these guys will take you to the cleaners.

The price equivalent is $1.75bid, $2.16offer which is a new all time high for the stock. As the data populates throughout the system, and brokerage firms make the adjustments in accounts, I'm sure that spread will tighten. So far, so great.

The NF Energy (OTC BB: NFES) Reverse Split: Get Ready For Possible Fire Works

2009-08-25T10:49:00.001+02:00

It's time for a little education, and I hope you find this helpful. Later this week NF Energy (NFES), one of my recent huge wins, is going to reverse split 3 for 1.

If you're wondering what this means here's the scoop. One day this week, probably either Tuesday or Wednesday, NF Energy will close and reopen for trading under a different symbol. The new symbol will represent ownership of 1 share for every 3 you owned the day before, and the price will be set at 3 times the level it was the day before.

Just to clarify- let's say you own 6,000 shares today with the stock trading at $1.65 under the symbol NFES. The next day the stock will reopen under a different symbol (I don't know what it is yet), and the price will be $4.95 - you will now own 2,000 shares. Even Steven. From there, the price will go up and down based on normal market supply and demand dynamics. Your brokerage firm will automatically make the position adjustment for you.

Micro cap investors might think a "reverse split" is a bit of a negative, but there's two kinds of reverse splits. First- there's the bad one. This is the reverse split that takes place when a penny stock has spent years diluting its capital structure with all kinds of toxic financings, and the number of shares I&O has become so unwieldy a reverse split is the only way to make the capital structure manageable again.

Then there's another kind of reverse split. Like Glinda says to Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz- Are you a good witch, or a bad witch? In this case, are you a good reverse split, or a bad reverse split?

A good reverse split is done by quality companies with one goal in mind- to qualify them for an upgrade to a higher listing (AMEX or NASDAQ), which encourages institutional participation and higher volumes.

For example, the initial listing standards for the AMEX include shareholders equity of $4 million and profits of at least $750k in the last fiscal year. At the end of last year NFES had $15.4 million in shareholders equity, and $3.6 million in profits- a slam dunk.

For the NASDAQ, the initial listing requirement is $11 million in pretax income over the past three years, or a bit less over the past 2. Each exchange has Corporate Governance standards and requirements which include Independent Board Members.

In the case of NASDAQ and Amex, there is also a minimum price requirement. For NASDAQ it's $4- for AMEX it's $3.

So, look at your clues. NF Energy has announced two new independent board members in the last two weeks, and is now effecting a reverse split that will take the stock to around the $5 level. Could they be gunning for an upgraded listing? You do the math.

NF Energy (OTC BB: NFES) Delivers Quarterly Results- Doubles Previous Estimates

2009-08-13T13:03:00.000+02:00

I'm raising my target price on NF Energy to $3 from $2.50 in light of this morning's quarterly numbers release. The company delivered a top line that more than doubled May's estimate, and suggests this company has real momentum and a lot more upside.

Forget that I first brought it to your attention at $.69 back in June and it's up 124% today. It's likely to go much higher in light of today's news. Let's dive into the numbers:

Here's what the company forecast on May 22- this is a quote from the release: "The Company expects to complete $2.2 million, $5.6 million and $10.9 million in Q2, Q3 and Q4 of this year respectively."

So, in Q2, NFES expected to deliver $2.2 million. The numbers came out this morning- they delivered $5.22 million- a 137% gain above the previously forecast top line.

One can only wonder what this might mean for the next two quarters which were to be $5.6 million and $10.9 million. Where will they fall? If those quarters simply fall in line with the forecast, NFES will deliver about $24 million in revenues this year- which would put the company up 72% ahead of last year's pace.

On the profit front, the company delivered $1.16 million in profits- $.03 per share. Suggests somewhere in the neighborhood of $.18 for the year if it continues to be as back end loaded as previously announced.

$3 really seems like a fairly low target if this company were to be valued based on traditional US company growth valuations. Let's say we enjoy a 70% growth rate this year- the old rule of thumb is the PE ratio is 50% of growth rate. Stock price- $5.40. That's another 250% higher than today's price.

Here's one issue I dug out of the 10Q the company hasn't spoken about too much. There's $11 million in cash and receivables. Only $2.7 million in payables and zero long term debt.

Xinhua- Evolving Into the ESPN of China

2009-08-12T10:27:00.001+02:00

Xinhua opened for trading on the NASDAQ in 2007 at about $11, and in pretty short order traded to its all time high of $13. From there, it was all downhill.

The company made a couple of mistakes in the early going. Armed with $400 million for acquisitions, XSEL went on a bit of a drunken media spending spree- acquiring everything it could and probably over paying a bit in the media arena. They dove into print, radio, outdoor advertising, and TV in a major way.

The company made the mistake of retaining a US based CFO with a bit of a shady past, and short sellers piled in with the help of some media hatchet jobs.

In 2008 the management and the board of XSEL decided to change course and refocus on a core strategy. XSEL decided to divest itself of non-core assets, and focus all of its energies on becoming the premier provider of sports programming in China- they decided to replicate the ESPN model in a country with a far bigger audience.

Hence, it's difficult to provide a succinct forecast for top and bottom line growth. The company is selling off its non-core media divisions which is making the top line go down, and shoring up the balance sheet.

By the end of 2010 XSEL expects to have divested itself of all its peripheral businesses, and be laser focused on the sports broadcasting in China. At this time, a full 90% of their revenues are coming from advertising and broadcast, so the transformation is nearly mature, and numbers should start to improve from here.

Options Media (OTC BB: OPMG) News

2009-08-09T11:35:00.001+02:00

A quick note for you followers of Options Media (OPMG)- on Friday after the close, Options Media announced the development and deployment of a new software platform for their large ESP (email service provider) clients.

The announcement in and of itself isn't a barn burner, but I believe there could be some news concerning who's actually using this platform, and it might be rather eye opening. Stand by. Click Here to read Friday's news.

UFood Grill (OTC BB: UFFC) Update

2009-08-07T11:03:00.000+02:00

There's been a little activity around Ufood of late, and some have been asking for an update. So, here you go. It's worth noting the company, at the current time, can not make any forward looking statements about where they are. The company is in a registration process with the SEC for the shares associated with their Spring financing, and therefore is supposed to remain rather mum.

As for the announceable events, the company is moving forward, albeit more slowly than hoped pre recession. Since the franchising world is dead at present domestically, Ufood is moving forward with locations in non-traditional venues.

Of late, the company has announced new locations will be built in both Logan (Boston) and Oakland airports. The second Logan location will be company owned, and the Oakland location will be owned by a franchisee.

The airport locations represent a great opportunity for Ufood to get stronger brand recognition. Million of travellers will have the opportunity to try the Ufood faire as the company expands to more and more airports.

On the "non-traditional" front Ufood is pursuing, they have made a breakthrough that is noteworthy. My two restaurants stories- Ufood and Spicy Pickle share a common problem. At present, franchising in the US is dead. There's no financing available for franchisees to open units, and retail customers are more scarce. Both companies recognize the reality of their situations, and are taking steps to find alternate ways to expand. Spicy Pickle has taken the route of acquiring a second brand in Western Canada, and most of their growth is coming from another country where the conditions are different.

Ufood is pursuing a different tact. The company is looking to expand to non-traditional locations like hospitals and universities. These are the kinds of facilities that recognize the need to convert their offerings from the standard terrible fast food brands to a healthier, but still palatable offering.

To the end, Ufood announced one of its franchisees is now building a location in Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas - a 685-bed hospital with 9,000 employees including 1,300 physicians, 2,300 registered nurses and 1,200 fellows and residents.

Come December, a Ufood grill will be replacing a McDonald's that has been at the Parkland Facility since 1954. This is the wave of the future. The Dallas news published an article recently- click here to read it.

As far as the stock goes, it is trading very anemically in the $.15 range. Once through the regsitration process we'll see where we are on stock price and liquidity. Until then, this is a revolutionary concept who's time will come, but only suggested as a position for very long term investors at this point in time.

NF Energy (OTC BB: NFES) Retracement- As Predicted

2009-08-04T15:50:00.000+02:00

Today's edition is a special alert I hadn't planned on issuing. The market dictated the event.

Here's today's chart of NFES, which has taken a little bit of a breather today after a pretty breathtaking run:

As you can see, the stock is taking the breather I predicted in last Thursday's edition. It fell early this morning on very light volume, and has since started a rebound phase.

The low print was $1.21- right in between the Fibonacci 38.2% and 61.8% retracement, and the stock is now bouncing. The higher volume came in early, but was only about 75,000 shares in the first two hours of trading.

As I said last week, about the $1.30 mark would be an excellent level to accumulate this stock if you missed the first 30 days under $1 and want to be involved if it hits my $2.50 price target.

This is a reasonably light pullback and happened early in the day. We're now rebounding. I predicted it might work lower, now I believe it is likely to work back higher.

Take advantage of some profit taking to open or add to your position if you're not fully invested in this idea.

Slate of Movers: CVM, C, and NFES All Rocking

2009-07-31T16:18:00.001+02:00

This is about the best end of July I can remember in quite some time. Typically, this time of year is very quiet. This year it's different. Apparently the market wants to make up for the beating it gave us in 2008.

At any rate, starting with:

Cel-Sci (AMEX: CVM)- breaking out. CVM is having a big day and breaking out. Recommended June 13th at $.36, CVM is getting more ink today in a trade publication related to its therapy in development for Swine Flu.

As you can see, there's clean break out with a big volume surge. The stock might want to come back and fill the gap. At the current quote of $.53, CVM is 47% higher than it was when I recommended it in June.

The company is getting some Bird Flu related ink today. The lead article at Biomedreports.com is about Bird Flu. CEO Geert Kirsten is canvassed for his comments- and he suggests the government needs to keep funding development.

It's causing a nice little surge in both volume and price of the stock, and it's just what the doctor ordered. The stock might want to come back and fill the gap at about $.47. Nice winner for you.

On Citigroup (NYSE: C): Traders- Take your profit. This was my Monday feature. Remember my article about Citi and Citi When Issued? I suggested now that the investors in the convertible preferreds were able to get out, the pressure would come off and the stock would surge. Right on the money.

I think $3.25 represents a short term ceiling. If you acted on my advice on Monday, you own C or C When Issued at $2.50. That's 30% in three trading days.

Technically, I think the stock is played out for now. It probably needs to pull back or trade sideways for a bit. I still believe it's $4.50 a bit longer term. They will probably do a reverse split.

Take your 30% and go if you were in this for a trade. Nothing to sneeze at in just a couple of days.

NF Energy (OTC BB: NFES)- Looking at Possible Entry Levels

Clearly my hottest idea right now. If you didn't get it, it's far from too late, but a little patience might be in order. This story is just developing, and the company could grow for years.

The stock printed at $1.70 in the early going today- what a run. That's 146% in six weeks- I introduced this one on June 10th. I've been saying all along it's my favorite China idea right now- they just too profitable to continue to trade where they were. They're too profitable to continue to trade at these levels much longer.

However, whenever a stock makes a run like this, it's prudent to take a step back and look at possible retracement levels. NFES is now entitled to pull back a bit. I'm not positive it will, but if it does here are the thresholds to look at.

$1.32 would be the first level to take a hard look. If that gives way, $1.18 could be in the cards. If the company continues delivering announcements as it has been, $1.18 is not a likely scenario, but if it were to come into play, I'd bet the farm.

Q2 numbers will be out soon, and the company has forecasted about $2.5 million with about $200k in profits. Q3 should be $5 milllion, and Q4 about $10 million. It's a very back end loaded year. If Q2 numbers are weak, you might get the pullback. If they are strong, I don't see a pullback in the short term.

NF Energy (OTC BB: NFES): Moves To the Big Leagues

2009-07-29T18:20:00.001+02:00

NF Energy (NFES)- my current favorite micro cap China infrastructure idea, almost made a new all time high at the close yesterday. Intraday it traded to $1.15- which was a new all time high. It closed at $1.10- a few pennies under the promised land.

I suspect by the time you read this NFES will be solidly in new all time high territory, and heading higher. I certainly hope so. The news today was rather robust, and this stock is developing quite a following. Volume on a daily basis is increasing as the stock moves higher.

Just before the open today, NFES announced it has entered into a "Strategic Cooperation Agreement" with GE Enterprise (Yes, a subsidiary of the GE) to "Jointly Evaluate Customers and Projects.

Little NF, with it's $14 million in trailing revs and $4.3 million in profits, is getting in bed with the really big boys. There's no assurances this news will lead to new business, but to an investment community just starting to follow this stock, it will represent a kind of "third party endorsement" to their technology.

If you want to know more about GE Enterprise, their web site is http://www.gedigitalenergy.com. I don't have any annual revenue figures, but as a subsidiary of GE (NYSE: GE), you know they are going to be big.

Here's what the chart tells me- higher. It's that simple. My $2.50 price target remains. This one is headed for super stardom, and it's not too late on NF Energy to participate. This is still early stage. I believe they will generate at least $20 million in revs this year with EPS in the $.15 range. Could be more.

Universal Travel (AMEX: UTA) Makes New All Time High

2009-07-29T18:18:00.000+02:00

My mantra- and I know you're going to get sick of hearing it. China, China, China- but the right companies in China. Either energy savings/infrastructure build outs, or domestic consumer oriented companies doing real numbers. You'll make a lot of money if you stick with me in this arena.

And, speaking of consumer oriented companies- China based travel agency Universal Travel (UTA) made a new all time high yesterday. I introduced it to you on June 7th at $8, and it's off to the races.

I couldn't find any news related to the huge volume surge. But, here's a guess. On July 21st the company made an SEC filing stating they would not be filing a registration statement on behalf of investors from last year.

Perhaps there was a big short position. Perhaps some short against their position becoming free trading, and they were squeezed. I don't know. It doesn't make any real sense when one considers the investment was made last September, and under the current Rule 144 exemption, those investors would only have to wait 6 months to have free trading shares. Who knows?

At any rate- here's what I do know. Look at this volume and price spike. Outstanding. Don't buy it now, and if you're a trader, you might want to sell some. However, my price target on this one remains $20- but only accumulate on a pullback is my advice. That's a 72% move since early June- 144% on margin.

Citigroup: A Tale of Two Stocks

2009-07-28T15:01:00.001+02:00

Here's an idea you might like: Sell Citigroup, and buy Citigroup. If you're wondering what the heck I'm talking about, here's an idea for you that no one is explaining to investors.

There are two Citigroups trading right now. Citigroup (NYSE: C), and Citigroup When Issued (NYSE: C-WD, C/I, or other symbols). It's a tale of two stocks which are essentially the same thing- one's simply cheaper.

Here's the skinny, and it's really rather interesting. Citigroup (NYSE: C) is the normal common stock that has been trading forever. Five trading days ago, the New York Stock Exchange came up with an idea to handle the huge demand to sell Citi common stock for investors that are holding convertible preferred shares, and want out.

In order to raise capital in the darkest time last year, Citigroup did a massive convertible preferred offering. If everyone holding converts, the I&O on Citgroup will go from 5.5 billion to 17.4 billion shares.

As is typical with newly issued convertible preferreds, the institutional investment world uses them as an arbitrage play to make money. They simply buy the newly issued convertible preferred, and then go short the common stock against their conversion. They lock in a guarantteed profit no matter where the stock trades to, and deliver the shares after the conversion.

Here's the problem that's been confounding in the Preferred Investors- they haven't been able to short the common stock, because no one has been able to get a "locate" on the shares- no one can borrow them to short. In theory, there would be a demand to short 17 billion shares, and today's there's only 5.5 billion in existance.

The registration statement was expected to go effective in April, but has been dragging out interminably for these arbitrage guys, and they have lost a lot of money not being able to short the common stock. Citi is one of the few "too big to go out of business" stocks that has not participated in the financial rally. Why? because institutional investors know there could be a technical overhang of 17 billion shares. In case you're wondering, after conversion, the US Government (Us) owns Citi at about $3.50.

Old Sweet Song Keeps China on My Mind

2009-07-21T20:34:00.000+02:00

This song has been playing for over 20 years. It's the song of GDP growth, and after a couple of quarters of retracting growth, it seems China is investing it's 20 years of consistent profits back into its own economy, and the investment is paying off.

I don't think anyone quite gets it- save a few investors like Warren Buffett, Li Ka-shing (The Warren Buffet of the Far East), Jimmy Rogers, and former Lehman Brothers global guru Barton Biggs. They are all believers in China, and all suggesting the next 10 years will offer significant growth opportunities. The Chinese Government continues to invest billions in the country's massive infrastructure build out, and the Chinese consumer is now fueling domestic growth.

Take for example this gentleman: Li Ka-shing. This investor is considered the Warren Buffet of the Far East. This is the second richest man in the Far East, and Forbes says he is the 16th richest man in the world. The Hong Kong media has dubbed him "Super Man".

Li Ka-shing is famous for buying assets at the darkest time. He was a buyer of both stocks and real estate just after the Tinamen Square incident, and is worth billions. He is known for buying in times of crises. LI was recently out with public comments stating "China’s economy will be the fastest in the world to recover, but the U.S. economy's recovery wont be too late also, he went on to say “If you have the cash, you can consider buying equities and property.”

Data coming out of China of late is suggesting the Oracle of Omaha, Superman, Rogers, and Biggs are on the right track. Here's more factoids for you to consider:

* China's Q1 GDP growth was 6%- better than the rest of the world, but the weakest quarter in 20 years.
* China's Q2 GDP growth came in at 7.7% last week, suggesting the Chinese economy is back on track and headed for the 8% GDP growth the government has targeted.
* Growth is being fueled by the massive stimulus program and surging bank lending

NXPN New Alert-2

2009-07-19T22:24:00.002+02:00

NXPN is an energy exploration company currently developing natural gas projects across North America.

NXPN has acquired working interests in natural gas assets located in Texas as well as projects in California and Alberta, Canada.

The projects contain documented gas reserves and associated plant, pipeline and infrastructure currently in place.

Texas, Ozona Gas Project

Location: Crockett County, Texas

Analog Fields: Chesapeake, Devon, EOG, XTO, and Quicksilver Exploration

Land Holdings: 12,900 acres

Working Interest (WI): 63%

Net Revenue Interest (NRI): 47.25%

Formation: Wolfcampian Canyon Sandstones

Depth of Test: 4400-5000 feet

Depth of Target Interval: 4800

Gross Pay Interval: 10-50 feet

Projected Initial Production Rate: 150-300 MCF/day

Pipeline Access/Connection Point: <>

The Texas Gas Project currently consists of 22 existing production gas wells located adjacent to the town of Ozona in Crockett County, Texas.

The project encompasses 12,900 acres and is a well documented and prolific location enjoying the presence of actively established companies such as Chesapeake, Devon, EOG, XTO, and Quicksilver Exploration.

California Natural Gas Prospect

Location: Sacramento County, CA

Analog Fields: Merritt Island (5.6 BCF), Snodgrass Slough (4.6 BCF)

Land Holdings: 668 gross acres under lease

Working Interest (WI): 31.5%

Net Revenue Interest (NRI): 24.57%

Formation: Upper Cretaceous, Winters

Depth of Test: 8,300 feet

Depth of Target Interval: 7,900+/- feet

Recoverable Reserves: 8 BCF

Gross Pay Interval: 20 feet

Drainage Area: 400+ acres

BTU Value: 930 BTU

Recovery Factor: 1,000 MCF/acre-feet

Projected Initial Production Rate: 5,000 MFC/day

Pipeline Access/Connection Point: 1/4 mile to meter station

The California Natural Gas Prospect shows a combined potential to contain up to 50 BCF of natural gas.

NXPN believes that the project, if proven to be commercially viable, may represent a venture with an in-situ value of greater than $50 Million in contained gas to a majority working interest partner.

Alberta, Canada Project

Location: South Eastern Alberta, Canada

Land Holdings: 18 sections or 11,500 acres

Working Interest (WI): 44.1%

Net Revenue Interest (NRI): 35.28%

Potential # of Wells: 72

Proved + Probable: Over 8 Billion Cubic Feet

Timeline: 15 Wells planned

The Alberta, Canada Project currently consists of a natural gas processing and compression facility; natural gas pipeline, additional infrastructure and certain lands associated to the infrastructure.

The project has been found to have the potential to contain over 8 BCF of natural gas and NXPN has the option to obtain the remaining 51% interest from the owner over a 2 year period.

Today, domestic natural gas is primarily used in electricity generation.

NXPN believes reduced exploration and production, in addition to increased energy demands, will inevitably lead to an upswing in natural gas prices.

Neil McMahon, a London-based analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. recently stated, "U.S. natural-gas demand from industry and increased power generation will cause the gas market to tighten, pushing up prices. The market will tighten considerably toward the end of the year, while delays in starting new liquefied natural gas projects will also bolster prices."

Higher natural gas prices would surely benefit NXPN, and it looks like that will be the case.

Deryczx Scientific (OTC BB: DYSC)

2009-07-19T22:21:00.000+02:00

Coal Turned To Diamond in the Rough

DYSC is in the information services business. DYSC is an aggregator and manager of "published knowledge" on behalf of huge companies. Here's what this means in English.

They provide the service of finding, identifying, managing, and legally using anything that is published on anything. Their service is widely used by Pharma and Biotech. For example, if some 3rd party writes a favorable review on Lipitor, Pfizer wants all their salesmen to put this 411 in the hands of every doctor they can. There's one problem- the "published knowledge" is copy righted, so Pfizer can't legally reprint it. Their largest customers include the likes of Abbot Labs (NYSE: ABT), and Biogen (NASDAQ: BIIB).

DYSC makes a licensing deal with the publishers and prepares the content on behalf of the client. They charge a fee for this service, and it's paying off.

Last quarter, DYSC enjoyed $3.8 million in revenues and their first net profit - it was $120k, and equated to $.01 EPS. The company has been averaging about 10% growth every quarter, and the trend is likely to continue.

The stock is very thinly traded, and followed by no one. There's only 13 million shares I&O, so the market value of the whole company at $1 is $13 million. $3.8 million in quarterly revenues (assuming 10% continued growth) is $17.6 million in revenues over the next four quarters. The company has no debt and about $5 million in cash and cash equivlents against $2 million in payables. Their cash position has improved over the last few quarters.

This one is a hidden gem. It's pretty illiquid, so traders should stay away. However, I think this is a lay down for a double once the stock gets a little more recognition. I'm the first to publish anything on the company.

Do your own due diligence and review the financials. Again- not for traders. For investors who want to accumulate a position in an inefficient market while no one is watching.

Force Protection (NASDAQ: FRPT)

2009-07-19T22:20:00.003+02:00

All Over Again....

April 3rd- 2004- that's the first time I wrote about FRPT- it was a $.25 stock at the time- that's right- a mere quarter. The reverse split adjusted price would have been $2.50. Of course, we were bashed when the stock traded to $.81 in January of 2006. To make a long story short, right idea, but wrong timing. We're often in too early on these sorts of ideas.

In May of 2007 the stock traded to $31. Wow. That's right- $.81 to $31 in 15 months- quite a run.

This defense contractor that makes all sorts of proprietary hardware for protecting military vehicles then ran into some headwinds. Accounting scandal, rumored SEC investigations, and the raging bear market sent this stock on a round trip. $31 in May of '07 to $1.25 this past March. Quite a chart.

However, all this supposed scandal and investigation kind of fizzled into nothing, and the stock turned around and started getting very healthy again- until June 30 when the company failed to land a big contract that was rumored to come their way.

They lost the contract to competitor Oshkosh Corp, and it was a $1.06 billion Army deal. The stock got hammered. In my view, the market is often emotional in the short term, and often over reacts to events. This was an over reaction in typical stock market fashion.

A very smart analyst I know believes the company will earn at least $.33 EPS this year. He also believes Oshkosh will sub out a significant portion of the contract to FRPT. He tells me they have to- they don't have the required technology.

Since the huge gap down, the stock has since made a bottom and started a recovery phase. If it breaks above that gap down to $6, watch it run back to $10 as all the non believers have sold out, and bargain hunters come back on. Friday's closing price of $5.20 seems like a great entry level to me.

Spicy Pickle (OTC BB: SPKL) Mid Year Update: Growth in a No-Growth World

2009-07-19T22:20:00.000+02:00

A lot of you have been asking for an update on Spicy Pickle, so here you go. The company accommodated with a mid year update.

Spicy Pickle provided investors with a mid year update yesterday after the close, and it's far from all bad news. In fact, I would characterize the company as doing "OK", or perhaps a little better than "OK". Why- because while most fast casual restaurant chains are closing locations this year, SPKL will in fact grow.

It's not going to grow at anywhere near the torrid pace the company achieved in 2007- it's breakthrough year. If there had been just one more year of '07 growth before the recession hit, the company would be cranking out positive cash flow now. It's not, and it's Q2 numbers are going to be a micro version of many other US companies.

Here's a quick overview of what's happening. The past May, the first of restaurant of a 10 unit development package opened in Houston. A new restaurant is opening in Naperville, IL in the next two weeks. Before year's end, there will be new stores opening in Las Vegas (2nd of 4), Temecula, Ca, and San Diego, where the franchisee is looking for a 3rd site to complement the one currently opened and the new location. The Chicago franchisee is seeking a 2nd location of 5 as well.

SPKL also disclosed it was in negotiations for a location in Denver's Pepsi center- home of the Colorado Avalanche (NHL) and Denver Nuggets (NBA), and many concerts and other entertainment events.

On the very positive side, the Canadian based Bread Garden Urban Cafes is on a torrid expansion pace- matching the 2007 performance on Spicy Pickle in 2007.

Bread Garden Urban Cafes recently opened in Terminal C of the Vancouver airport and the Kamloops Airport. This positions the Bread Garden concept for significant exposure during the upcoming Winter Olympic games. And, speaking of the Winter Olympics- Bread Garden is also opening at Whistler Mountain where the Alpine events will be held, along with another location in downtown Vancouver.

In all, there are currently 13 Bread Gardens opened and operating- there are 4 currently under construction, and numerous leases in negotiation. As of today, by year's end there will be 42 Spicy Pickles and 17 Bread Gardens based on what's open and under construction. Total- 59 operating restaurants as a near certainty.

There's one more wild card. There is a Bread Garden Urban Cafe open and operating in Australia. The company does not mention the restaurant in it's filings as it is an "experimental" version. The operator is not paying a royalty to the parent company. However, the operator has opened at this location as an experiment with an eye towards becoming the "Master Franchisor" for all of Australia if the Australian consumer embraces the concept.

Now, on to Q2 numbers. Here's what you're likely to see. Top line growth year over year, but not much quarter over quarter. Significantly lowered costs due to cost cutting measures at the corporate level.

Slowly but surely the top line will start to improve later this year and into next. The Bread Garden chain in Western Canada is accelerating rapidly and will continue to do so. Stateside, Spicy Pickle will enjoy some growth, but if it begins to accelerate, the company is now in a position to turn cash flow positive in pretty short order.

As I said- their story is a micro version of many US based company's mired in the nastiest recession since the Great Depression. This past week Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) beat earnings estimates handily by delivering a better number than expected- it wasn't top line growth- it was cost cutting that delivered the improved bottom line.

Cost cutting at the corporate level along with moderate growth has SPKL closing in on the promised land of operating cash flow positive. It's near at hand, but not quite there yet.

I assume cash reserves will be thin when we see the next 10Q, but the company is bootstrapping it's way through this year, and better times are certainly ahead.

The current market cap is only about $8.5 million. That's about $144k per restaurant. With a little more expansion, this stock could easily trade at a $25 million market value- especially if and when the company turns cash flow positive.

This offers about a triple from the current levels. However, it's only for investors with the stomach to be longer term and a willingness to accumulate. The stock trades rather anemically from it's late 2007 hay day, and patience will be required. I suspect volume, liquidity, and upside movement will come back later this year. As you can see from the chart, the stock is blown up and blown out, so it won't take a lot of pressure to get it going to the upside.

Sweet-Song-Keeps-China-on-My-Mind

2009-07-19T22:18:00.001+02:00

The Chinese economy delivered blockbuster GDP numbers this past week- more in Monday's edition. The Chinese economy has the best global GDP growth to be found right now. They are blowing away the rest of the world, and their growth is no longer export driven.

I'm on record with a number of China ideas ranging from the largest ETF to a small media company. In all- 5 ideas total. I'm 3 for 5 right now- 3 are winners, and 2 not so good yet. FXI, UTA, and NFES are all up nicely; CGYV has been problematic mostly due to timing, and LEGE was a rocket of the gates, but in short order completed a round trip and then some.

I have two more China ideas for you, and they are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. One does $100 million in annual revs, and is reinventing itself and getting focused. The other is a zero revenue company, but owns of the most interesting and possibly valuable assets I've ever studied. Sometime in the next week I'm going to introduce the $100 million idea- it's on NASDAQ. Stand by.

Today's edition contains two new trading ideas - one a lot of investors have followed, the other no one has ever followed. The first was covered by our sister newsletter property. The HotStockTrading covered this stock from $2 to $25, and a lot of investors have followed it over the last 3 years. The second idea is a company that is growing, profitable, and no one knows about it. I think you can make money on either or both.

HotStockTrading Market Watch

2009-07-17T10:22:00.000+02:00

Well, so much for the slightly-bearish theory. The S&P 500 has gained about 6.1% over the last three days after being in dire straits for the prior four weeks. Wow. Of course, the question (as always) is what's next? My answer ...I suspect the market's going to be reeled in quite a bit.

The last time we had a gain on par with the prior three trading sessions was in late May. That was also the end of the road for the rally. It's just one heck of an act to follow, and stocks usually can't. We've yet to revisit those highs.

In the meantime, something else interesting popped up.... resistance around 930 (well, 932 to be precise). The SPX reached a high of 933 today, but the 930/933 zone has been a problem before. Just take a look at the nearby chart to see what I mean. Coupling that with a (somewhat artificially induced) big gain in a short period of time, and I just think you have the recipe for a pullback.

What's interesting - and perhaps troubling - with the rally, however, is that there's not actually a lot of confidence behind it. With this much buying, the VIX should have plunged, indicating feelings of certainty and confidence in the market. Instead the VIX closed a little higher today, after a very modest move lower this week.

In other words, investors appear to be betting on the market, but they're also hedging against it with options (which is what the VIX indicates).

You may have also noticed an equally problematic piece of data with the recent rally... it's lacked volume. It's not necessarily been a low volume move, but it's been no better than average. If it was really the beginning of another leg higher, it should be gathering some more buyers by now.

Bottom line: Investors are saying one thing and doing another.

So there ya' go ....I think we're due for a dip, though the full-blown revisit to 847 is now in question.

Rather than make a pointless guess, I'm just going to defer a call to a point in time when we have some more meaningful information from the chart. Talk to you later this week.

NF Energy (NFES)Hot Stock Alert

2009-07-15T12:06:00.000+02:00

Dirty coal fired power plants- the shame of China. The Chinese economy experienced double digit annual growth for 20 consecutive years. In order to provide fuel for all that growth they built a lot of cheap, hastily constructed, and inefficient power generating facilities. They all burn coal, and they're all filthy.

The Chinese government is moving very rapidly to mitigate and eventually eradicate this problem. They're doing it by closing the old, inefficient coal burning plants, and building new, highly efficient power generation facilities.

Today, after the market closed, NF Energy (NFES) announced it has been awarded a $5.2 million contract to provide energy efficient flow control systems two new Chinese power plants.

According to the press release, the Guangdong Huizhou Pinghai Power Plant and Guangdong Yuedian Huilai Power Plant are China's new Ultra-Supercritical coal power plants. They are being built to replace small, dirty and inefficient coal power plants that dot the landscape as vestiges of the 20 years of rapid and uncontrolled growth.

The revenues will be booked in Q3 and Q4. To put the scope of this in perspective, it represents about 1/3 of the total revenues in 2008, and 25% of the expected revenue stream in '09. In short, for NFES, it's a big deal.

Coming off a year wherein NFES delivered $4.3 million in profits on $14 million in revenues ($.10 EPS), $20 million and well in excess of $5 million in profits looks like it will be a reality in CY '09.

Technically, the stock is holding its own on lighter volume. It's summer, and everything is coming down volume wise, as is the nature of microcaps in the summer.

I think the chart looks pretty darn good when one considers how far the stock has come. This low volume sideways extension on the chart is going to be resolved with either a big move up or a slow drifting down.

If the company continues to get the kind of momentum that leads to contracts valued at $5.2 million, one would think the chart has to resolve to the upside.

On a valuation basis, coupling last year's growth rate with earnings, we should have a stock trading at about $1.50 right now ($.10 in EPS last year), looking for $2.50 as the second half of the year unfolds.

More on BONU

Take a look at BONU's chart, BONU has made a couple amazing runs and I believe it can run again.
We cannot put a price on our health or the health of our loved ones!
This is why I think you need to keep an eye on BONU.
Washing our hands can destroy millions of bacteria so its no surprise our parents always yelled at us to constantly wash our hands when we were younger.
Hospitals are so diligent on keeping things clean so that patients don't contract or spread any infections.
BONU knows that viruses and bacteria are too small to be seen by the naked eye and can be extremely dangerous to our health.
We need to do whatever we can to destroy them before they destroy us. We can do this by using antimicrobials.
Antimicrobials are natural or synthetic drugs which inhibit or kill bacteria.
BONU's technology is simply astounding in my opinion!

The company's technology is not only safe for us and the environment but is so strong that it can kill greenhouse gases and Anthrax on contact!

BONU's formulations are green and include natural and common ingredients which are found in baby products and in the foods we eat.

BONU combines these widely-used compounds in unique ways to create enhanced results.

These "green" formulations are sporicidal, bactericidal and viracidal meaning they attack spores, bacteria, and viruses.
Imagine BONU's potential in hospitals and in places that require sterility!
I truly believe a company like BONU will be in great demand even in houses as most households are health conscious.
Many households spray down their countertops with a disinfectant after food preparation to avoid a bacteria called Salmonella that is the most frequently reported cause of food borne illness.

BONU has created two of the world's most efficient killers - Ygiene and Ogiene.
See how BONU's Ygiene compares to Lysol: http://www.bioneutralgroup.com/ygienevslysol.html

These tests show that BONU's Ygiene antimicrobial is superior to the commercial product comparisons they made.
Ygiene kills health threatening microorganisms on contact!
Just look at what Dr. Philip Tierno, the Director of Clinical Microbiology and Diagnostic Immunology at Tisch Hospital at New York University's Medical Center had to say about BONU's YGIENE.
"There is nothing better. (Virtually nothing compares with it). There is nothing that works faster. (Kills in seconds). There is nothing that has a more complete kill. (Kills 100% of organisms). There is nothing wider in spectrum. (Kills any and all microbes). And it is an environmentally green product. (It eventually breaks down into innocuous substances)."

Now let's look at BONU's Ogiene.

The Ogiene formulations complex a broad range of dangerous and noxious chemicals and removes them from the air.
BONU's Ogiene formulations can complex, convert to salts or irreversibly react with toxic/odorous gases and render them harmless.
Gasses such as Formaldehyde, Hydrogen cyanide, Ammonia, Carbon dioxide, and Sulfur dioxide/ nitrogen oxide!
There are over 100,000 men, woman and children living in app 40,000 trailers in New Orleans and the Gulf states.
Testing by the Centers for Disease Control has shown that the average amount of formaldehyde contained in these trailers exceeds safety levels with significant implications for public health.
There is a broader market in excess of 1 million trailers and temporary housing throughout the United States used as schools, by the military and sold to the recreational market!
This is just a small segment of the huge market BONU could do business in.
BONU's antimicrobial can be used in healthcare facilities, households, industrial applications and military/homeland security.

BONU even plans to hit the Asian markets!

BONU and their wholly owned subsidiary Advanced Bio-Fiber Treatments Corp. announced that it will form a new wholly owned subsidiary in Hong Kong to commercialize its proprietary chemical formulations throughout Asia.
BioNeutral Group Asia Ltd. will be the corporate entity which will establish distribution with governmental agencies and private enterprises throughout Asia.
I believe a continent like Asia is in dire need of BONU's technology considering how big the population is over there and how it is one of the continents that has been most affected by swine flu.
BONU's formulations have applicability to swine flu and its likely mutations!

NXPN Hot Stock Alert OTCBB

2009-07-14T11:27:00.001+02:00

My new big pick is NXPN.

NXPN is an energy exploration company currently developing natural gas projects across North America.

NXPN has acquired working interests in natural gas assets located in Texas as well as projects in California and Alberta, Canada.

The projects contain documented gas reserves and associated plant, pipeline and infrastructure currently in place.

NXPN traded at over a dollar in the beginning of the year but has since come down to all time lows, and is now trading at under ten cents.

I think NXPN is due for a major reversal at these levels.

Many of my recent alerts have staged miraculous comebacks and I think NXPN could be next.

Market Outlook-HotStockTrading

2009-07-12T12:55:00.004+02:00

I'll say this much for the bulls.... they're working hard to hold the line at May's lows.

For the S&P 500, that's around 880. The all-important 200 day moving average line is lending a hand in the effort too; the SPX has held tightly to it since Tuesday.

I'll acknowledge there's a possibility the market is making a floor there instead of my initial prediction of 847. I don't think that's what's going to happen... I'll just honor the possibility.

Regardless, I think the important thing to keep in mind now is that we're approaching what's likely to be a relatively significant bottom, not just for the S&P 500, but for the Dow and the Russell 2000 as well (which is what makes it significant). Each of those indices is within 3.5% of reaching a 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of the March-through-June rally. The only index not even close to playing ball is the NASDAQ Composite.

I don't think the S&P 500's 200 day moving average line (blue) is going to be a factor, as none of the other major indices are dancing around theirs.

Also, I'm still expecting at least a little more downside simply because the market hasn't really worried the daylights out of investors yet. A couple of nasty days over the last two weeks have gotten us close to extreme worry, but we need something of a mini-capitulation to clear the decks, so to speak, before we can get rolling again.

To that end, I'm still watching the VIX, which as you see didn't really spike that much on the days it probably should have.

Ideally, the VIX will surge and the market will plunge back to those Fibonacci lines all on the same day. Otherwise, one theory or the other won't hold up all that well.

I'll keep you in touch with all these clues, but like I said, I'm basically just looking for a little more downside.

Microcap Time-Stock World

2009-07-12T12:52:00.003+02:00

I have a number of favorite things as we all do. A few of my favorite things are skiing, golf, and fly fishing. Playing nine holes late on a summer's evening with my 10 year old, and getting home in time to watch the last few innings of a baseball game are just a couple more of my favorite things. A great bottle of Cab with a good steak and close friends is near the top of the list.

In the microcap stock world, mid July to mid August is my favorite thing. With the exception of 2008, the mid July to mid August time frame has proven year in and year out to be the time when microcap investors make the most money over the next five months.

Seasonality in the markets has been measured many times over the years, and it's tried and true. Not every time frame is exactly the same, but in general the most money is made in microcaps from the dog days of August into the January to March time frame.

Stock market historian Yale Hirsch who publishes the Stock Traders' Almanac every year did the definitive study in this area. He studied the S&P 500, which clearly isn't as crazy or risky as the microcap world. However, some parallels can be drawn.

Here's a great statistic: if you had bought the S&P 500 on April 1st, and sold in September 30 every year from 1976 to 2000, your average gain would have been 1.1% Not of much interest to anyone looking for superior returns.

Now here's the eye opener. Over that same time from '76 to '00- if you had bought the S&P 500 on October 1st, and sold it March 30, you would have enjoyed an average return of 9.05% on your money.

That's eight times the return just by being in the correct six months of the year. A real eye opener. On the microcap side it's a bit different. I believe the lows come a bit earlier, simply due to microcap stocks tending to get the majority of their volume from individual investors, and the mid July to mid August time frame is when individual investors lose interest in favor of more recreational pursuits.

Hence, these smaller stocks tend to drift down on lighter volume when everyone's on vacation and losing interest, and there's other reasons

Special Alert – BONU

2009-07-12T12:01:00.002+02:00

Special Alert – BONU

My new pick is BONU.

I hope you didn’t miss my last pick, but if you did, here’s your chance to get into another highly volatile mover.

BONU recently had a nice run and has pulled back, I believe it's ready to make a nice bounce!!

With all the talk about swine flu, disinfectants and sterilization is a must for everyone.

BONU is a chemical technology-based Life Science company that intends to commercialize a combinational chemistry-based technology which can neutralize harmful environmental contaminants, toxins and dangerous micro-organisms including bacteria, viruses, mold, fungi and spores.

BONU reported that they have positioned themselves to address the Asian Demand.

BONU is will be led by Dr. Gordon Chiu, who will assume the role of Chairman in June. Dr. Chiu has worked for both Pfizer Inc. and Merck & Co. Inc. as a research scientist and has healthcare and marketing experience with strong links to Hong Kong.

Today BONU reported that their product Ygiene Hospital Grade antimicrobial demonstrates a 99.9997% kill rate against Clostridium difficile Spores (C.diff) in Independent Lab Pre-testing Phase.

Stephen J. Browand, BioNeutral Group Inc. CEO stated, "We are very encouraged by these first pre-testing results of our Hospital Grade formulation that will undoubtedly save many lives and protect countless others from being exposed to a hospital acquired infection. To have a non-toxic, non-corrosive disinfectant that can kill the very resilient C.diff spore is truly an amazing scientific breakthrough. The fact that it is also environmentally friendly makes it a groundbreaking event."

Just think about it, when the next flu pandemic breaks out, everyone will be calling BONU!!

According to Wyeth, a global leader in pharmaceuticals and consumer healthcare products, in the United States, hospital-acquired infections alone afflict nearly 2 million patients and kill approximately 90,000 people annually, more than diabetes or influenza/pneumonia.

WRGL's technology-Hot Trading News

2009-07-10T16:21:00.006+02:00

---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
WRGL believes it has identified the most appropriate and lucrative approach to resolving the traditional negative aspects of separating oil from tar sands and oil shale.

Traditionally, a variety of methods have been used to separate oil from tar sands and oil shale.

Canada's tar sands industry relies primarily on heat (derived from natural gas) and liquid solutions, but leaves a high level of toxic residue in large tailing ponds. Certainly not environmentally friendly and quite expensive.

WRGL's technology is capable of separating oil from tar sands with a non-toxic liquid technology requiring no heat and minimal water. Superior to any process now in operation and with procedures that are totally bio degradable, non-carcinogenic, and Earth friendly.

Using Pyrolitic Hydrocarbon Concentration Units, WRGL can convert raw oil from tar sands into a gaseous state, and then reconstitute the gasses into syngas.

Although the technology requires heat, it does not require natural gas, and can actually be instituted using the original raw product as its heating source with no harmful gases or products being released into the atmosphere.

Using this second system not only allows extraction of oil, but converts syngas into marketable fuel products without further refining, for example: asphalt products, fertilizers, diesel, jet fuel and other transportation products. A third technology may be licensed to add bio-diesel to the product list.

The left over sands and inert byproducts are considered oil-free and suitable for sale as a premium construction material, as well as clean and non-hazardous landfill.

North America has the greatest tar sands resources in the world. Canada holds the majority of these tar sands, followed by the United States.

Utah has the richest tar sands deposits in the United States, containing 14 to 15 Billion Barrels of measured oil in place, with an additional estimated resource of 23 to 28 Billion Barrels.

It is said that eastern Utah and western Colorado contain more oil locked in the ground than Saudi Arabia.

WRGL will be constructing the first fully commercial tar sands processing facility in the United States to recover oil from Utah's tar sands.

WRGL's extraction technology will recover more than 99% of the available oil present in the tar sands in a process that is completely environmentally friendly. There are no exploration risks and no decline curve, a completely different business model from conventional oil producers.

The State of Utah, including personal interest by Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr., has expressed strong support for the development of the extraction of oil from oil sands and shale.

Utah has indicated it will assist any proven operation to get into production as soon as possible and U.S. Senator Orin G. Hatch has also pledged his support.

Support of local governments in Eastern Utah is also very favorable. The Uintah County Commission promotes the development of tar sands and oil shale extraction and encourages efforts to commercialize the area's resources.

WRGL's goal is to develop the Utah tar sands in an effort to free America from its dependence on foreign oil, and with the support of Federal, State, and local governments, that goal may soon become a reality.

WRGL First Commercial Unit to Extract Oil from Tar Sands

2009-07-10T11:45:00.009+02:00

WRGL recently announced its first commercial sized unit to extract oil from tar sands and oil shale is operational and being tested this week.

The system, known as a Pyrolitic Hydrocarbon Concentrator unit, is based on a unique and proprietary technology licensed from American Resource Energy Company (AREC), and can also be utilized to extract oil from other carbon based feedstock.

The test runs this week are using tar sands as feedstock in order to fine-tune the equipment prior to public demonstrations to potential clients, which include several major oil companies.

Members of various governmental agencies, state and local government officials and several major oil companies are expected to attend the private demonstrations during the last two weeks of July.

During these demonstrations a video will be produced and made available to shareholders for viewing on WRGL's website.

On the final day of the demonstrations, shareholders will be invited to view the production process and meet management.

These demonstrations will highlight WRGL's ability to strongly impact the recovery of the vast oil reserves that North America holds in tar sands and oil shale, and prove to the major oil buyers and others, that this new technology will have a major impact on the future of North America's oil dependency.

WRGL's extraction process is one of the world's most advanced and economical systems for oil sand and oil shale extraction.

WRGL's cutting edge technologies, combined with rising oil prices put the company in a unique position for rapid expansion and profit.
