And, that'll mean a decent 2.0% gain for the week. The situation is not nearly as bearish as the numbers would...

After a relatively rocky start, the market rebounded somewhat on Monday; the S&P closed only 0.8% lower after being in the hole by more than 2.0% at one point in the day. That's a good showing from the bulls despite the net loss at the end of the day. The bigger question, however, is whether or not...

Market Update: Support and Resistance Defined
March 31, 2009
In the blog yesterday morning I mentioned the drastic selloff on top of the bearish opening gap presented a fantastic entry opportunity... for the bold and the bullish (a tumultuous combination of characteristics right now).

Market Update: Good, But Not Yet Good Enough
March 15, 2009
Early last week we mentioned we had a new company profile on the way, to come out later in the week. Needless to say, you didn't get it.

Market Update: Does Fear Turn to Apathy at the Bottom?
March 06, 2009
What a week! TGIF, right? After basically 15 days of slaughter, on Wednesday we saw a glimmer of hope....only to get smacked again on Thursday. Then this morning, unemployment comes in at 8.1%, which is the highest reading since 1983. So what happens? Stocks edged higher, initially, before heading south...

Five Bear Market Realities You Can't Afford to Forget
March 03, 2009
Isn't it amazing how much bearishness the market can dish out in such a short span of time? Geez. But, that doesn't mean there's not money to be made in this environment. It just means you have to play the game a little differently. I didn't come here (ok, I didn't sit down at my desk) to talk about...

Market Trend Update: Market in Neutral, Some Sectors in Overdrive

If you're frustrated about the indices being right back where they were in November, that's understandable. A couple of weeks ago the market looked like it was going to break out of its rut. Then, it didn't. It's just moved sideways for weeks now. However, not every stock is flat - that sideways movement...

The 'Average' January Market - Cause For a Pause

I don't know if you've noticed this or not, but the month of January over the last several years has been, shall we say an 'interesting' month?

I understand how you feel too, but let me also offer this advice - don't let it blind you, or force you into an irrational decision of calling it quits. Leaving the game now may be a bigger mistake than...
How to Spot the Real End of the Credit Freeze
October 08, 2008
The Fed decided to beef up short-term lending by buying commercial paper on Tuesday. It's not a bad strategy actually. About $100 billion in short-term lending passes hands every day here in the United States. If the Fed can do for small businesses what nobody else seems willing/able to do, it may well...

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

A Small Cap Hat-Trick: SPKL, CGYV, BMSN

What do you do when your local economy grinds to a halt, disrupting your aggressive growth plans? A lot of small cap companies have been like deer caught in headlights this year. A few of them, however, made a smart choice - they moved their attention to geographies where the economy didn't stink. What...

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

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

Well, I'm not surprised it happened. I'm just surprised it happened in the span of just a few days.

SpongeTech Posts Full-Year Numbers - What a Year!

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

Cashin' In On The Ugly Side of Wine

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

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

Voyant's On The Verge
May 08, 2008
With the market finally starting to shake its flu from the early part of this year, several interesting small cap names are starting to emerge as leaders. I mentioned one of them last week - the company working to overcome the Internet's bottleneck. Their technology makes data transmission via the Internet...

Bio-Matrix is One Step Closer to Revenue
May 05, 2008
Applied DNA (OTCBB: APDN) has completed their anti-counterfeit technology circle. No, that's not code for anything - they really have rounded out their product line to cover all the bases. To fully explain why today's news is important, I have to take a small step back and explain what they do. I promise...

For those of you who read Tuesday's newsletter, you'll know I was in New York in the middle of this week doing some bird-dogging for our next small cap stock pick. I liked what I saw, and I think you will too. A lot of things are coming together for this company. It's not quite ripe yet though - maybe...

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

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

I know we've focused a great deal on a select number of our stocks lately. However, if that's where the action and the news is, then that's where it is.

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

Bio-Matrix Revenue Timeline is Hyper-Accelerated, The Time is Now
April 03, 2008
Remember last Thursday how I said Bio-Matrix could be weeks away from revenue? It's actually even better...the timeline has been fast-forwarded to mere days. As a result, the narrow window of opportunity to get in pre-revenue (which us typically when big biotech stock gains are made) is closing fast...

Dancing With Market Indecision, More to SMGY's Story

How can a week that started so bullishly for stocks end so lethargically? Oh yeah - I know how...it's a habit the market got into about two months ago.

SpongeTech Getting More Air Time Than Michael Jordan
March 19, 2008
Looks like the television commercials SpongeTech Delivery Systems started running back in February have produced good enough results to merit more of them. How many more?

Spicy Pickle: An Enticing 'Then & Now' Snapshot
March 17, 2008
I don't think I could have asked for a better backdrop than the one Bear Stearns and J.P. Morgan provided for us today. Do I see a near-insolvency-bailout as good thing? Of course not - I'm an investor too. However, I see the fiasco as an ideal reason to point out how there are plenty of investment-worthy...

I don't recall the last time everything hit the fan like it did this week - for the economy or the stock market (the two should never be confused with one another).

Bernanke Buys Rally For $200 Billion. Will It Last?
March 11, 2008
Is it me, or does the Fed swoop in with the best of news the day after some of the market's worst dips? The latest example came just this morning when we learned Helicopter Ben was already airborne, poised to dump $200 billion worth of liquidity into the lending market.

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

APDN Lays Another Piece Of The Puzzle, SPNG Turns Single Into Grand Slam
March 04, 2008
If you've ever worked a jigsaw puzzle before, you know how it goes....it can be a slow and overwhelming start, but as more pieces are laid, the pace quickens because the picture keeps getting clearer.

Bear Market Management (It's Not An Upside-Down Bull)

Some day for stocks on Friday, huh? The market took it on the chin ...a dip of 2% or more for all the major indices. Had it not been for Friday, we would have ended the week with respectable gains.

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

January 31, 2008
Well, it looks as if the Fed managed to inspire someone to buy stocks today, despite a rather large pullback shortly after the post-announcement rally on Wednesday.

Short-Term Bottom, But Recessionary Backdrop?

Round and round the market goes, and where she stops, nobody knows. Anybody else feel like that? The last few days have been like the prior forty days...lots of volatility - most of it bearish.

Fed's Impact on Stocks, APDN Protects Profits

APDN Keeps Good Company, & Finally a Bottom?
January 14, 2008
They say you're judged by the company you keep. If that's the case, then I think Applied DNA (OTCBB: APDN) should move up a couple of notches in everyone's book.

Worst Week For Stocks in Months - Time To Buy?
January 05, 2008

We've been itching to close the books on a handful of our followings, and perhaps benefit from a tax loss (since they didn't benefit us in many other ways). At the same time, there are also a few names we want to be sure to keep...

Wake Up & Smell the Panini - Spicy Pickle Evolves

The plan became a reality for Spicy Pickle (OTCBB: SPKL) yesterday, when the company closed a financing deal that should allow them to start opening several corporate-owned stores.

Tenet Blasts Off, & Retailers - Part II
December 07, 2007
It's been less than a month since we picked Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC), but we're already up 41% on the trading idea. More importantly, however, it appears as if we've broken above a temporary ceiling. Maybe now we can proceed all the way up to our target gain of 88%. Just to recap, we became interested...

Spongetech Set To 'Clean Up' In More Ways Than One
November 30, 2007
I love the end of the year. It's usually a great time for stocks, and particularly strong for small caps. I think December of 2007 could be even better than usual for small caps, thanks to a healthy pullback in November. If it was also around this time of year I found a company with a market cap about...

APDN's Serendipity, & Can 112 Million Users Be Wrong?
November 08, 2007
Serendipity is defined as "the effect by which one discovers something fortunate while looking for something else." With that being the case, I think Applied DNA Sciences (OTCBB: APDN) recently had a serendipitous moment in terms of potential revenue. In fact, I'm wondering if the 'discovered' revenue...

November 03, 2007
We've got updates on today on three of our prior trading ideas.

It's been another busy week for the Small Cap Network, and small cap stocks in general. I can personally tell that it has because my two typing fingers are starting to hurt.

Stockgroup Sets Date, Titan Settles With AT&T
October 16, 2007
Not a bad start for Applied DNA (OTCBB: APDN), huh? Up 29.1% on the highest volume day in over a year. What I like best is how well-paced the rally was. I was pretty worried about a wildly strong open, which often sets up nothing but profit-taking later in the day...a tough thing to overcome. In yesterday's...

BioCurex Cancer Test: The Rumor Becomes Real

Well, the recent strength from BioCurex (OTCBB: BOCX) shares all makes sense now. This small cap stock flew from 46 cents to 77 cents over the last six weeks - a 67% move - on rising volume.

August 29, 2007
Ouch! It never ceases to amaze me just how quickly the tide can turn. Last week was one of the best we've seen in a long time....and much needed.

Five Mega-Trend Investment Themes

This is an edition I've been meaning to do for a while, but just haven't had the opportunity...until now. It's a good one though - one I think could make you a bundle of money if you understand 'conceptual' investing.

Another wild week, huh? The average stock fell back by more than 2% on Friday, which undid what would have otherwise been a positive week for the market.

Though I said it only a few days ago about the very same company, I think it bears repeating now...there are almost always two messages being delivered in one news release.

Smart Energy's Army Now Marching In Sweden
July 25, 2007
I can't count the number of times in my early days as a trader I decided to wait to become a shareholder of good companies, only to end up chasing those stocks when they started to fly. I quickly learned the best time to jump in is when nobody else seemed interested. It's an important reminder today...

Titan Global: The Mouse Caught A Cat
July 23, 2007
Never let it be said this business isn't interesting. After spending the first part of the year prepping to spin off its circuit board division from its telecom division, today Titan Global (OTCBB: TTGL) announced they're diving head-first into a new line of business.....and it has nothing to do with...

Stockgroup Strikes While The Iron Is Hot
July 18, 2007
In the movie 'Field of Dreams', there's a well-known line, "If you build it, he will come." However, when it comes to websites, I think the quote may need an addendum. Perhaps it's more accurate to say "If you build it, he will come.....but he may not pay for it." See, anybody can pretty much build a...

Smart Energy's Dealer Model - A Wider Pipeline
July 16, 2007
Sometimes fate ends up making things easy for me to do. Take today for instance. There are a couple of lingering details I've been wanting to discuss regarding the Smart Energy Solutions (OTCBB: SMGY) opportunity, and today's news is the perfect reason to dive into at least one of them.

CCBEF's Forest Is Behind All The Trees
July 12, 2007
With earnings season now here, it could be easy to get sidetracked by all the noise. That could be unfortunate though, if it meant losing sight of Clearly Canadian (OTCBB: CCBEF) - you may end up missing out on a big move.

Another Rung On Zupintra's Ladder Reached
July 09, 2007
I've said it before, and I'll say it again.....I love companies that say what they're going to do, and then go do it. Too few companies only do one or the other (or neither). So, when a company does both, their credibility is heightened in my book. Well guess whose credibility just jumped again? If you...

Is The Market Out Of Steam?

Welcome back everyone. I hope we all had a happy and safe July 4th holiday, though I for one am excited to be able to get back to my desk and start thinking about the market again.

GE Confirms It - Teaming Up With BioCurex
July 02, 2007
There seems to be a common theme recently with some of our profiled stocks....big companies are teaming up with our smaller companies in a 'win/win' scenario.

Yahoo Teams Up With Stockgroup

Wow! Or, maybe it would be more correct to say 'Yahoo!', particularly if you're a shareholder of Stockgroup Information Systems (OTCBB: SWEB).

Stockgroup's Keeping Good Company
June 27, 2007
They say you're judged by the company you keep. I tend to agree with the notion, but in my experience, the same can be said about corporations - high caliber companies usually choose to work only with other high caliber companies. If that's the case, then I really believe Stockgroup Information Systems...

In sales, I think most anybody would tell you (the pros in particular) half the battle is getting in front of the right audience in the first place.

I hope all of you routinely read all of our commentary, as opposed to just our e-newsletters regarding small cap trading ideas. Why?

Phinder, or Zupintra? Both Spell Opportunity

You may want to take a good look at the Phinder Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: PHDT) logo to the immediate left. Why? It's probably going to be one of the last times you see it.

Ever had your car battery go dead at the most inopportune time? Ever had a vehicle stolen even though you had an alarm system?

A 'State of the Small Cap' Address
June 09, 2007
There's no denying it - large cap stocks have led the way so far this year. The Dow is up 6.7% year-to-date, while the S&P 500 is ahead by 5.4%. Their 'on' switch was flipped in July of last year, and with only a couple of blips, they've stayed turned on since then. What about small caps? Like their...

BOCX: Tiny Cancer Test Has Huge Potential

If there's anybody on the planet left doubting that Phinder Technologies (OTCBB: PHDT) is serious about winning a big, fat chunk of the global telecom market, then today may be your proverbial final straw.

Small Caps Slug Back To Back Homers

When it rains it pours, but I guess that's a good thing when it concerns positive news about stocks many of you may own.

Stockgroup is Smokin' - Revenue Report
May 14, 2007
You know, I think it's like a breath of fresh air to find a company that actually does what it's supposed to do - which is grow revenues. I know, I know.....saying so qualifies me for a 'Master of the Obvious' award. But seriously, think about it - when did mediocrity become exciting? Well, no offense...

TTGL Puts Money Where Mouth Is, SWEB Widens Net
May 09, 2007
Though I've seen a lot in this industry, I think there are really only a handful of basic characteristics of top-performing corporations. One of these qualities - in my own layman's terms - is a company that eats its own cooking, so to speak. When a company shows interest in buying back their own stock...

When someone hands over $15 million to a biotech company to continue work on a cancer treatment, I have to take notice.

Titan's Turning The Earnings Corner
April 16, 2007
I don't think there's anything better than owning stock in a company at the time it starts to move out of the red and into the black.

If there was an aquatic equivalent to 'burning up the pavement', we'd have to say Challenger is doing it. The best we could come up with is 'making waves', but somehow...

Siena to Land in 'Hollywood', Vegas Style
March 05, 2007
Just when you think you know a company, they go and add another layer! Siena Technologies (OTCBB: SIEN) appears to be skilled at so much more than many investors seem to be giving them credit for. We were already blown away by their second-to-none Race & Sports Book technology, as were some major...

Ouch! Now What? - Some Market Perspective
February 28, 2007
Undoubtedly by now - unless you just got back from a mission to Mars - you've heard the full scoop on what happened to stocks yesterday.

Clearly a Breakout
February 26, 2007
On Friday afternoon, as I was thinking about what to cover in this past weekend's edition of the Small Cap Network Newsletter, I opted for Titan Global's (OTCBB: TTGL) revised guidance news.

Titan Raises The Bar
February 24, 2007
Just when I think a company can't possibly impress me anymore than they already have, they go and surprise me. No reason to complain though - I don't mind being surprised when it's likely to make money for our readers. It was only a little over a month ago we were suggesting Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB...

The Plot Thickens - More of CPWB's Turn-Around Story
February 22, 2007
One of the most satisfying parts about being the editor of the Small Cap Network Newsletter is seeing turn-around stories literally unfold right in front of me. Even better is seeing those patient shareholders, who saw the opportunity when no one else did, collect their reward. Well, after seeing both...

Ever notice how sometimes you wake up in what seems to be a run-of-the-mill morning, only to find a stock you had on your watchlist has been on a tear for several days?

BOCX is on the Runway, Fueled by Cancer Test News
February 13, 2007
Do you think there's a market for a cancer screening test that could be performed and interpreted in a matter of minutes? Better yet, what if it could all be done at the doctor's office during a routine visit? Considering there's nothing else that easy and quick in use right now, we'd have to say it...

Sailing Under 'Clear' Skies - A Sea Change for Clearly Canadian

Investors, we think you should take notice of Clearly Canadian (OTCBB: CCBEF) if you haven't already! The company was impressing the heck out of us by its sheer rebuilding efforts alone.

A Window of Opportunity is Open...For Now
February 06, 2007
To say Challenger Powerboats (OTCBB: CPWB) has been on a roll lately might be an understatement. The company, after a relatively quiet end to last year, has just been firing on all cylinders lately.

Web2Corp - Undervalued in Our Eyes
February 03, 2007
Sometime stocks trade at what they're worth, and sometimes not. We know there's nothing earth-shattering there, but it's a seed we wanted to plant early today. Why?

Stockgroup's Suggested Entry, Redux

Challenger's Acquisition Opens New Doors
January 31, 2007
If you were an owner of Challenger Powerboats (OTCBB: CPWB) as of last Friday, you would probably agree giant gains can be made in an instant (contrary to what you may hear from most of Wall Street). Your shares were catapulted from 4.4 cents to yesterday's closing price of 7.3 cents...a 66% gain in...

Clearly Canadian: Bottled Water is Big Business
January 25, 2007
To say it was an improvement or a step-forward really wouldn't do the company justice. Rather, we think the term 'evolution' may be a better description.

Playing Titan Global After the Volatility
January 23, 2007
It's been a little over a week now since we first issued our coverage of Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB: TTGL), and so far, we're pretty pleased.

Clearly Canadian Looks Ready To Roll
January 18, 2007
We mentioned in a recent blog entry (several, actually) how Clearly Canadian (OTCBB: CCBEF) was popping up on investor's radars again after what had been a relatively quiet end to last year.

Titan's Q1 Results - Stellar as Expected
January 17, 2007
We've only been following Titan Global Holdings (OTCBB: TTGL) for four days now, but we have to say, we've squeezed in a month's worth of excitement already. That's ok though, since it's a bullish kind of buzz. Yesterday's volume of 538,900 shares was the highest we'd seen in over a year, and the stock...

Our First Trading Idea of the Year
January 13, 2007
I'm usually glad the rest of the market overlooks incredible small cap ideas. It gives our readers a little time to get in at low levels - if they want to - before the rest of the crowd jumps on the bandwagon. In today's case though, I think any action needs to be taken soon, as it looks like this stock...

Siena Technologies: Raising The Stakes
