Pacific Ethanol, Inc. (PEIX) has been one of my most popular research reports for 2010. I have the software that allows me to track clicks and time spent reading the info and PEIX has been very popular. And, I can see why. PEIX has made two major "stair steps" in their chart on their way from 40 cents to a 52-week high of $2.75. Now, the stock is trading around $2.00 which seems to be a good support level for it. It is perched on the 50-day MA which could give support to the "next leg up". The question is "will... »
StemCells, Inc. (STEM) has been the poster child for the stem cell industry since late 2008. It has made many people rich speculating on the ups and downs of this particular stock. With its ticker symbol that seems to represent the entire industry, investors and traders have made this a very popular stock.
Their is an old saying that says "when... »
One of the places that I find stocks to blog about is on Google Finance. On the first page is a listing of the stocks that are "in the news". These are the stocks that are getting the most searches or maybe are a leader in volume, price change or some other measure. One penny stock that caught my eye... »
That will come crashing to earth soon!
MedCareers Group, Inc. (MCGI) has been a great story to watch over the past few days. Lots of PR and a frothy stock price and some very impressive gains. The question for me is it real and will it last?
It appears that it only became active recently after changing its name from RX Scripted,... »
You would have to live on the moon not to see and be impressed by Zanett, Inc. (ZANE)
A $0.31 cent stock YESTERDAY, ZANE issued some great news about landing a huge number of new contracts (Read it here) and it took off. It reached a HIGH of $2.50 before closing at $2.09. That is impressive by any measure.
The caution here... »
Cord Blood America was one of my best picks for 2009 (not my best, but close). I had correctly called its September move (as the chart below will indicate). I think that it might be time to take another look at Cord Blood America, Inc. (CBAI). Here is a link to my earlier blog. Truthfully, it has been flogged unmercifully in the penny stock press. It has been hailed as everything from the next Genentech to the next Spongetech. I think the truth is somewhere in the middle. CBAI is a stock built on hype. It really hasn't proven that its... »
Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) has made an almost miraculous comeback from irrelevancy (and penny stock land) over the past few months. SIRI has seen its stock rise from the low $.50's at the end of 2009 to a recent high of around $1.15 just a few days ago. This was very good news for the company. Since it was facing a NASDAQ delisting and with the stock trading above the magic $1.00 mark for a period of time, SIRI was thinking it was "scot-free". Think again. Last week's drop (and this week's continuing drop) was not surprising given the overheated condition... »
First a personal update: Friday's blog was kind of "doom and gloom" when I was stuck in the middle of a power outage (second year in a row for NH). Even thought I got power back relatively quickly, I am still shopping online for an emergency generator. Family is fine, house is safe and my section of NH is no longer a third-world country. It is amazing how we take important things (like power) for granted. Now...on to stocks. My scans today produced NightHawk Radiology Holdings, Inc. (NHWK). Nighthawk is at the end of a prolonged decline in its stock price IMO. ... »
I am sitting in Panera working on my computer because my home is in the dark. My part of New Hampshire got hammered by a wind and rain storm of epic proportions last night. I spent a fun evening bailing out my basement and was winning the battle until I lost power (Wet/Dry Vacs don't work without power). At 11:45 p.m., I finally gave up. My kids were sleeping snug in their beds and I just threw another blanket on them and went to bed myself. When I woke up this morning, my property looked like a war zone. Branches were strewn everywhere and a... »
American Sierra Gold Corporation (AMNP) was all over the boards just a few months back. An exciting new issue with two strong gold properties in Nevada and Mexico, it seemed to have no limits as to how far it could go. However, like all promoted stocks the promotion eventually stopped, traders took profits and the stock "came back to earth". AMNP is at an interesting place right now. The stock chart seems to indicate that the stock has stabilized from looking at the MACD, RSI and its price action recently. Having said that, it made a similar base at around 47... »
