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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 [...]

No surprises here really…small cap company Spicy Pickle (SPKL) has delivered as expected, opening the first  restaurant in downtown San Diego, California. 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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Hey everyone, I’m not sure I’ll be able to get a full-blown edition out between now and then, but I wanted to let you know bulletin board company Spicy Pickle (SPKL) will be hosting an investor conference call on Wednesday (April 16th). The call will start at 4:15 pm EST/1:15 pm PT. To participate, call 1-866-696-5897 [...]

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 [...]

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.  What we’re thinking [...]

As promised, today we're going to take a look at Bio-Matrix's numbers, which will ultimately determine our valuations (and price target) for the stock. We did the same back in March when we first started looking at the company, though our projections were based on average industry-wide pricing. This...
