SpongeTech (SPNG) Close to Being One Hot Small Cap Stock
2008-05-09 15:20:00 I don’t know if it was being featured on ‘The Price is Right’ that prompted yesterday’s big surge from our bulletin board stock pick SpongeTech Delivery Systems (SPNG), but it may have helped. Or, maybe it was CEO Michael Metter’s letter to shareholders. Frankly, it doesn’t entirely matter what the reason is, because I think SpongeTech’s ... More About: Stock , Small , Close
StockGroup (SWEB) Announces Earnings Date, Conference Call
2008-05-08 15:55:00 It seems like only yesterday we were examining bulletin board company Stockgroup Information System’s (SWEB) earnings, yet now it’s time for the next update.

Spicy Pickle (SPKL) Having Some Word Fun?Or Should I Say ?Wurd Phun??
2008-05-07 20:55:00 I admit I had to read this press release a couple of different times to make sense of it. Once I finally saw how the puzzle worked though, it all made a lot more sense. What I’m talking about is this small cap company’s latest billboard campaign. To grab some attention, Spicy Pickle (SPKL) is deliberately ... More About: Word
?The Time is Right? for SpongeTech to be Featured on ?The Price is Right??P
2008-05-07 15:37:00 You know, a company can buy an infinite amount of advertising - in all mediums. Sometimes though, the best advertising isn’t advertising at all. Being publicly mentioned in a non-promotional way can ironically be an incredibly effective promotion. It’s simply a matter of credibility. This is an idea small cap company SpongeTech Delivery Systems (SPNG) is not only ... More About: Time , Price , Featured , The Time
Bulletin Board Company Bio-Matrix (BMSN) Acquires Stem Cell Labeling System
2008-05-07 15:03:00 Though it was only on Monday we heard about small cap company Bio-Matrix Scientific Group (BMSN) officially starting the tissue-bank licensing process, they seem to be proceeding as if they expect to get it. Of course, they have to - they want to be sure they’re ready to go when and if they get the ... More About: System , Company , Cell , Board , Bulletin
Small Cap Bio-Matrix (BMSN)?Now That?s a Breakout!
2008-05-06 20:37:00 I don’t mind gloating a little here regarding yesterday’s comments about our bulletin board stock pick Bio-Matrix Scientific Group (BMSN). I said the stock was on the verge of a breakout above 63 cents. As it turns out, this small cap stock decided today was the day. It’s up 18%, and more importantly, well past ... More About: Small
Stock Pick Telemig (TMB) Still Going Strong
2008-05-06 20:14:00 This little Brazilian Telecom stock we picked in late February has ended up being a pretty nice trade. Telemig Celular Participacoes (TMB) is now up more than 15% from our pick price, and still itching to go higher. We were concerned a couple of weeks ago when we saw shares surge to new highs, stall, then ... More About: Stock , Pick , Strong
Yahoo?s Misdirected Punishment: A Downgrade From Canaccord Adams
2008-05-05 22:31:00 Geez, I can understand Yahoo ’s (YHOO) shareholders not being happy about Jerry Yang’s stubbornness, but I’m not entirely sure an unwillingness to do a deal with Microsoft (MSFT) merits a downgrade. I guess Colin Gillis at Canaccord Adams disagrees - he downgraded the stock to a ’sell’ earlier today when it became clear Yahoo wasn’t ... More About: Punishment , Yahoo!
Bernanke?s Economy-Boosting Rate Cuts - A Pointless Effort?
2008-05-05 17:35:00 Normally I’d use my morning market comments to set the tone for the day (and share my thoughts about what the market probably had in store). However, we’ve got a ton of small cap stock news for this evening’s edition, so I’ll save it all for then. Instead, I’ll use this morning to do something ...

Small Cap Stockgroup (SWEB) Raises Funds
2008-05-05 15:07:00 I don’t know if they actually needed it, but it never hurts to have it. At the same time, the fact that they could get it at all right now says quite a bit about long-term, third-party opinions of their stock. What I’m talking about is small cap company Stockgroup Information Systems (SWEB) and funding. They ... More About: General , Small , Funds
Thoughts on The Fed, Interest Rates, and My Air Travel
2008-05-01 16:16:00 Looks like the folks who were making a bet that Bernanke would cut rates by 1/4 of a point were spot on. The Fed Funds futures said the odds were 75% that we’d see the Fed’s key interest rate drop to 2.0%, and sure enough, that’s what we got. That’s also probably all we’re going ...

Boiling Oil Ready to Cool?
2008-04-28 15:48:00 Just when you think it can’t go any higher, wham - it does. I’m talking about oil prices. You’re feeling the pain at the pump. Hopefully you’re offsetting that pain with gains from energy stocks in your portfolio; profits should be strong again. The question - my question anyway - is whether or not this is ...

What?s Up With Small Cap NuTech Digital (NTDL)?Besides the Stock Price?
2008-04-25 20:00:00 A couple of you recently wrote in and asked about bulletin board company NuTech Digital (NTDL). It was a good inquiry - the stock had surged and you made some good money on it. You just wanted to know why. My assumption was that since we got a few inquires on the same stock at the ... More About: General , Stock , Small , Price

2008-04-25 16:52:00 I already blogged it this morning, but I didn’t have room for a chart in my morning notes. So, here I am again telling you about Tenet Healthcare (THC). Why do I need a chart?

It’s the second in the area. That means 37 are now open, and leaves more than 90 on the way. All the details are below. In the meantime, how about that market? Stocks mustered a little ...

The Three ?Small Cap Musketeers? Still in Rally Mode
2008-04-23 22:33:00 Well, it’s been two full trading days since I highlighted three of our bulletin board stocks. My general theme on Tuesday morning was simply that the pullbacks for all three didn’t really worry me, provided they started to rebound soon. So far, all three picks have behaved satisfactorily. None have been ‘like gangbusters’, but then ... More About: General , Mode , Rally , Small
New Lows Called the Market Bottom, New Highs Say Not at Top Yet
2008-04-22 00:11:00 Along with using the ISE Sentiment Index as a market timing tool, I also like to look at the number of new highs and new lows for any given exchange. My preference is the New York Stock Exchange’s new high/low numbers, though the NASDAQ’s can be useful too. The only exchange in which I don’t see ... More About: Market , General , Bottom
ISE Sentiment Index Says There?s Room For More Upside in Stock Market
2008-04-21 20:33:00 Most of you know by now I’m a big fan of using sentiment tools like the VIX or put/call ratios to spot likely short-term tops or bottoms in the stock market. As you may also know, I’m a very big fan of the ISE’s (International Securities Exchange) call/put ratio as a contrarian tool. Why? It’s ... More About: Stock Market , Market , General , Stock , Room
Reality Sets in for Stock Market, Stockgroup (SWEB) Adds Talented Personnel
2008-04-21 15:26:00 I’m not entirely surprised, nor am I particularly worried, to see index futures in the red this morning. The equity market’s heroic rise last week may have put stock prices a little too far ahead of their actual values. Having had a weekend to think about it, investors are experiencing a little buyer’s remorse…and Bank ... More About: Reality , Stock Market , Market , General , Sets

Merrill (MER) Brings Us Back Down To Earth, Take Profits on Coal Stock Pick
2008-04-17 18:25:00 I know many of you are still a little euphoric following yesterday’s huge rally. As a cautioned then, however, don’t get used to it.

Bulletin Board Company Spicy Pickle (SPKL) Shows Organic Growth
2008-04-16 22:04:00 One of the toughest parts about evaluating a fast-growing bulletin board company like Spicy Pickle (SPKL) is distinguishing between expansion-based growth and the improvement of your existing revenue centers. To help investors measure a stock’s merits, sometimes a retailer or restaurant will post what are called ’same store‘ sales. The idea is, even if the ...

Stock Market Looking Healthier?For Now (& Our Picks Look Particularly Good)
2008-04-16 19:34:00 I don’t want to be the bubble-burster here, but I don’t think we should be getting too enamored by the market’s apparent rebound today. As a said yesterday, it’s option expiration week, which can create some artificial pressures. And, the market has been unusually volatile from one day to the next recently. Until we get ...

Orderly Decline So Far, General Electric (GE) & Telemig (TMB) Both Lower
2008-04-11 17:55:00 I’m writing this as of 11:50 am EST on Friday, so things can still change, but….General Electric ’s (GE) bad news meant the market started lower right out of the gate. However, we haven’t seen stocks go hog-wild yet. Quite the contrary actually…we’ve seen an orderly decline. That’s actually bearish in the sense that it’s methodical and well ...

Volcker, Greenspan Tag Team Against Bernanke
2008-04-10 21:10:00 This has little to do with small cap stocks, yet it’s something we all should take note of and perhaps laugh about (since crying does no good at this point).

Telemig (TMB) Too Hot to Handle? Biotech in Focus: CEL-SCI (CVM) & BioCurex
2008-04-10 15:49:00 Not surprisingly, March’s retail numbers were soft…for most. Discounters like Wal-Mart (WMT) and Costco (COST) did fine, while discretionary goods saw dampened demand. The futures dropped (pre-market) on the news, though that means little to me any more. Why? I’m still mostly in a ‘bet against the open’ mode. That’s why I’m actually glad stocks ...
