May 08, 2008 : Voyant's On The Verge
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...

May 05, 2008 : Bio-Matrix is One Step Closer to Revenue
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...

May 02, 2008 : Bernanke, The Dollar, & Oil - Oh My
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...

April 29, 2008 : SpongeTech Still Raising the Bar, New Sector Picks
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...

April 24, 2008 : Bio-Matrix on My Mind, Thoughts on Earnings
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...

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

April 17, 2008 : Spicy Pickle Looks Poised to Pop
I really hope you were able to get onto yesterday's Spicy Pickle (OTCBB: SPKL) conference call. If you did, then you've got a better understanding of where they are and where they're going. If you couldn't make the call, don't worry - I'll recap some of the highlights here. Plus, they came out with some...

April 15, 2008 : Did SpongeTech Swing to Profit?
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...

April 12, 2008 : The Inevitable Company - MyYahoogleSoft
I think we can all see the direction things are going here. Whether it's one at a time or all at once, the major players in the web industry want in on someone else's business. I'll recap all the latest as best I can, but mostly I want to focus in on what I think it all means to you. Here's the condensed...

April 09, 2008 : Applied DNA Re-validated, How to Trade This Market
If you've read the blog any at all this week, then you already know it's been a busy three days. I'm going to condense as much as I can into today's edition - just the stuff you 'need to know'. Specifically, I want to look at... How to navigate - or not navigate - this volatile market SpongeTech's recent...

April 07, 2008 : APDN Rides Jaguar Into Validity-ville, Hot & Cold Sectors
A few weeks ago - March 4th to be exact - I compared Applied DNA to a jigsaw puzzle in progress. We were just getting to the point where the final picture was starting to come into view, as some of their projects were being completed. Well, another big chunk of the puzzle was put into place today. The...

April 03, 2008 : Bio-Matrix Revenue Timeline is Hyper-Accelerated, The Time is Now
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...

April 01, 2008 : Bio-Matrix Opens New Revenue Door, Stockgroup Redux
Whether you act on all of our small cap trading suggestions, or only a few, odds are we've got something for you today. In just the last hour or so, four of our profiles companies came out with news of various degrees of importance. We'll highlight all of it, and link back to the in-depth descriptions...

March 29, 2008 : 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. I've got a tip for how to handle that kind of indecisive market action today, now that the pattern is on 'repeat'. I've also got an explanation behind...

March 27, 2008 : Bio-Matrix - The Lone Player in a Big Biotech Field
You don't have to be a seasoned investment veteran to know timing is everything, especially when it comes to biotech. If you find the right biotech company at the right time, the potential investment gain is enormous. That's why we're so eager to present today's new idea to you...we think it's one of...

March 24, 2008 : V2K Inc. - Two Solutions In One Company
By now all of you know why small cap stocks are so exciting to us - these companies are frequently unknown and undervalued, but if you find them at the right time, triple-digit stock gains are nothing to be surprised about. You also know we're constantly searching for these stocks so you can profit from...

March 22, 2008 : Mark Your Calendar - New Profile on Monday
Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend. I know I'm happy to have an extra day off from the market. On the other hand, clearly I felt something was important enough to take a short break from my break, and take care of a little business. What's the news? Just a notice to look for Monday's newsletter...

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

March 17, 2008 : Spicy Pickle: An Enticing 'Then & Now' Snapshot
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...

March 15, 2008 : Economy, Market Playing Pinball (& You're the Ball)
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). By Thursday I was getting a little dizzy. Having been able to sleep on all of it for a night though, today I've hopefully got some meaningful...

March 11, 2008 : Bernanke Buys Rally For $200 Billion. Will It Last?
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. The announcement coincidentally...

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

March 06, 2008 : How To Navigate A Landmine-Laden Market
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...

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

March 02, 2008 : 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. The question from here is simple - what's next for stocks in the shadow of Friday's strong selloff? There's...

February 28, 2008 : APDN Gets Under My Skin (In a Good Way), SPKL Triples Top Line
If you've been around the site for a while, then you've probably already heard me say counterfeiting costs legitimate companies about $600 billion in lost business each year. Clearly it's an opportunity for the right company, which is why Applied DNA (OTCBB: APDN) caught our eye a few months ago - they...

February 26, 2008 : Smart Energy Solutions' Bigger, Better Brain, & Tenet Jumps
If you took advantage of our Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC) pick from November 10th, then you're probably loving us today. THC shares jumped more than 14% on better-than-expected earnings, and a 2008 forecast that was far batter than Wall Street's expectations. As of now it's about 19% above our pick price...

For those...

February 20, 2008 : The Spicy Pickle Train Keeps on Rolling, Hot Sectors
If you're wondering where our new small cap idea is, don't worry - we didn't forget it. We learned in the meantime the company would be announcing earnings this week. Given the opportunity to see more results before we put the name out there, we opted to hold off. I know what you may be thinking...the...

February 16, 2008 : SpongeTech Now 'As Seen On TV', Applied DNA Reports Q1
I've got some of the 411 on our next small cap trading idea ...barring anything unforeseen happening between now and then, look for it on Wednesday or Thursday (probably Thursday) of this coming week. Some of the numbers here are just incredible; I really think you're going to want to own some of this...

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

February 09, 2008 : Investing in a Recession, APDN Breaks Ceiling
Finally I'm able to get around to my long-awaited 'recession' edition...the one where I share a few ideas about surviving the general economic malaise that could work its way into your portfolio. As usual, it's all about owning the right stocks at the right time. In a moment we'll look at what I think...

February 07, 2008 : An 'Overshot Devaluation' Opportunity
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...

February 04, 2008 : One Giant Leap For Applied DNA , Spicy Pickle's Beat Goes On
Remember how I said a few days ago to expect some big news from Applied DNA? The chart had just perked up too much to assume nothing was going on. Well, today we learned what that 'something' was. What was the news? We'll get to it below. For I now just want to plant a seed. There are two basic types...

January 31, 2008 : Like Altoids, Some Small Caps Are 'Curiously Strong'
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. One day doesn't make a trend, but a few days does. The interesting part about the last few strong days is the group of stocks that has emerged...

January 29, 2008 : New Sponge Makes Big Splash For Small Cap
Ya' know, if there's actually a recession on the horizon, you sure wouldn't know it by the way one of our profiled companies is growing its top line. And I don't mean by just a little bit. This company just launched a new product line, and increased their to-be-filled orders by about 15% pretty much...

January 26, 2008 : 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. Though I've seen several pieces of evidence that a bottom was made, I've yet to actually see the bottom. So...

January 22, 2008 : Fed's Impact on Stocks, APDN Protects Profits
What a week. Just when it looks like things can't get any worse, they get worse. The good news is the Fed may have finally stopped the bleeding....at least for a while. Even better, I think Tuesday's terrible open (just a few moments after the Fed finally took some action) may have been the one last...

January 16, 2008 : SPNG's Numbers Deciphered, 'Pickles' Planted in L.A.
They say when it rains it pours. If that's the case, then we're in the middle of a news tsunami - we've got updates from several of our profiled stocks. Don't worry though...we'll keep each one brief. Specifically, we've got more good news from Spicy Pickle, 'evidence' from Applied DNA, and an explanation...

January 14, 2008 : APDN Keeps Good Company, & Finally a Bottom?
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. The company just announced they've been unanimously accepted into the Brand Protection Alliance, or BPA for short. The BPA is a collection...

January 10, 2008 : Applied DNA - Five Down, One To Go
As easy as it could have been to lose Applied DNA's (OTCBB: APDN) announcement today in all the market's noise (and there's been plenty of it lately), I really think the recent chapters in the company's history are pointing to a happy ending. Applied DNA just announced they've received two more milestone...

January 05, 2008 : Worst Week For Stocks in Months - Time To Buy?
Ouch! Friday was quite a blow, huh? The week was even worse. In fact, it was such a strangely bearish week I decided to postpone what I originally planned on looking at today, and instead focus on something much more relevant to all of us right now...what's next for stocks?

January 02, 2008 : Is This 'Dog of the Dow' Ready To Lead The Pack?
Welcome to the new year! We don't want to waste a minute of it, so we've already got a new trading idea for you. And just for the record, the same strategy behind today's pick found us a 34% winner last year...which is a heck of a lot better than the overall market did. The Dow's 'Dog' methodology is...

A few days ago I discussed a concern I had with small cap stock Bio-Matrix Scientific Group’s (BMSN) breakout above 63 cents. That concern? That the stock wouldn’t be able to hold onto those gains. Well, I feel a little better now (and more so every day). We’re now into our fourth day of trading [...]

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 [...]

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. On May 14th, at 3:00 p.m. EST, StockGroup will be announcing their Q1 results. At 4:05 p.m. EST the same day they’ll be hosting a conference call to discuss those numbers.
