A stock market icon died yesterday at 84 years old.  He passed peacefully in the company of family and will be greatly missed by many.

You probably did not read or hear anything about his passing, because he was a very small icon.  In fact, he was a stock market icon only to me.  It was Kenneth Dean Brown, my Dad.

I will miss my Dad…as any son would. His extended family (Sister, Son & Daughter-in-Law, Daughter, 5 grandkids, one great grandchild and lots of nieces and nephews) will miss him, too.

Jeffrey Dean, Kenneth Dean and Nicholas Dean Brown

3 generations: Son, Father and oldest Grandson

But, it is appropriate to remember him on the pages of a stock market blog because my Dad LOVED the markets.  He passed that love along to me.

Dad was a very successful businessman and in his 40′s he took a huge risk and left his job as National Sales Manager for a large Food Equipment manufacturing company to start a company called Process Engineers, Inc.  It was a Food Equipment manufacturing and engineering company that due to my Dad’s excellent management and sales skills blossomed into a powerhouse.  My Dad’s specialty was wine and winery equipment.  During the 70′s and 80′s, the wine industry exploded and my Dad made millions supplying all of the equipment that wineries use.  His strong work ethic and personal integrity made him a trusted vendor and friend for most of the top wineries in Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Central California and even into Washington State.  My Dad was a personal friend to the key people at prestigious wineries such as Caymus, Sterling Vineyards, J. Pedroncelli, Arbios Vineyards, Landmark Vineyards and others.

Dad didn’t just make money…he saved it.  Dad was very frugal.  Having lived through the Great Depression, Dad spent money wisely and invested! He saw his father struggle for much of his life farming the Eastern Colorado Sandhills near Sterling, Colorado.  My Grandfather only started to pull out of his financial tailspin when he started investing in the stock market.  Dad watched and learned.

Dad was his own money manager.  He made all his own investment decisions on his portfolio and did extremely well.  I tell the story often that my Dad tried to teach me the markets when I was 14 years old.  In those days, investors pored over the old S&P books to find stocks to invest in.  I did the same and finally picked my one stock, then called Wheelabrator Frye, and invested my summer job earnings.  Wouldn’t you know it…..my stock doubled in the space of a few months.  My Dad thought he was a genius for teaching me so well and that I was destined for stock market greatness.  It wasn’t to be.  I was a teenager more interested in sports and girls than the markets. (What a dummy I was!)

Dad was very competitive, too.  He liked to win.  After retirement, for fun, Dad split his portfolio and put half of it with a professional money manager.  He would gleefully report to me how he was beating his money manager’s returns on a regular basis!

My Dad was very proud that I had made the markets my career.   Even though he had a different investment focus, I enjoyed our talks about the market and individual stocks.  He enjoyed reading my blogs on Investor Soup.  He supported me on my decision to get more involved in investor relations with such companies as Adamis Pharmaceuticals (ADMP) and New World Gold Corporation (NWGC).

I didn’t just learn from my Dad’s successes, I learned from his failures, too.  My Dad was raised on Modern Portfolio Theory that said “The markets, even considering occasional downturns, will always go up.   It is important to have your portfolio sufficiently diversified across many sectors to protect yourself from downturns in other sectors”.  That theory worked great for my Dad until the market crash of 2008 when EVERY sector and EVERY industry went down.

My Father was in poor health over the past few years and this correction almost killed him (I am not joking).  He saw his portfolio get decimated.  His dreams of a comfortable retirement were threatened.  Thankfully, his portfolio has recovered sufficiently that he had no worries.

My focus on day-trading and swing-trades would make him break out in a cold sweat, but that is where I feel the highest gains and greatest security in these challenging times comes from imo.  I am sure Dad would agree.

We plan on getting the family together in May or June.  Not for a wake or memorial service, but a celebration.  We will gather everyone in the extended Brown clan for a party.  We will take over a restaurant, eat good food, drink good wine (of course!) and tell funny stories about Ken Brown.  I wish you could be there.

We are comforted by the fact my Dad is in heaven having a great reunion with family that have gone on before.  He is healthy, vibrant, in a new body and I look forward to seeing him again someday.

Thank you for listening,

Jeffrey Dean Brown

Evergreen Energy, Inc. (EEE)

Evergreen Energy is a very extended stock….I could see this one taking a very steep dive (and soon).

The chart tells me much of what I need to know.   But in addition to an overextended chart…the company is losing buckets of money, has a lousy balance sheet (low cash compared to debt and lousy margins) and is not showing me any meaningful PR’s to explain this rise.

Watch this one for more signs of weakness…watch for the MACD to turn and momentum to shift.  This could easily fall to the former resistance line chart above (and below).

Good luck and good trading,

Jeffrey Dean

Calypso Wireless Inc. (CLYW.PK)

WARNING:  This is a highly speculative stock play

One of my members, Bill P., sent me an email last week about Calypso Wireless Inc. (CLYW.PK).  He said that it could be a huge payday for the right investor.  Having heard such pronouncements from many emailers over the years, I was highly skeptical.  I did my research and I am less skeptical.  However, this is a highly speculative play and should be viewed as such.

Here is what Bill wrote:

Calypso Wireless has significant patents for switching from towers to wifi on the fly.  They presently have a lawsuit against a major shareholder which will probably be settled by a mediator.  It would be more beneficial to go to trial, but they need to organize and go after T Mobile which has infringed on its patents.  Apple, htc, sprint, and motorola have all infringed on the patents.

T Mobile will be the first and are scheduled for court today.  They must submit their side of the argument today.  This will then go to December for court or for T Mobile to come up with a settlement which should be hundreds of millions of dollars.  Next would be the other companies that would follow suit.

Huge paydays are ahead for Calypso Wireless.  This was a $6.00 stock 6 years ago.  It could very easily be there before the end of next year, maybe sooner.  It should be moving forward from the .02 to .03 trading range. Most in the know investors look for this to be at least .50 cents by December.  Not a bad return. This will happen.  Calypso will clean up their internal problems in the next 90 days and as a united board of directors, they will take down the big guys and receive huge royalties. Could be a HUGE pop. (emphasis added by me)

Bill is an individual investor who runs a business.  My conversations with him lead me to believe that he is a serious investor….so I looked deeper into this stock and found that he may be on to something.

Calypso Wireless, the company - According to CLYW’s website, they are the company behind the ASNAP™ technology for which it was granted U.S. Patent #6,680,923 titled “Communication system and method” www.uspto.gov (search U.S. patent number 6,680,923), which covers the seamless roaming of voice, video and data between Wide Area Network access points, such as cellular towers (GSM/GPRS/EDGE, CDMA, WCMDA etc.) and short-range Internet access points (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.).

According to what I have read, the entire mobile backbone around the globe is built on this technology.  The ability to switch access points is crucial to our current ability to “roam” and receive date and voice seamlessly.  Again, the story is that CLYW was in such bad financial shape that many cell carriers just used the technology because it appeared that the company would be going out of business.  It might be time for them to pay up!

The court cases – CLYW has a case against a former officer and shareholder, Drago Daic and his ex-wife Cathy.  According to what I have read, Drago was brought into the company to help “perfect” the patents.  Instead, he made a power grab and has laid claim to the patents themselves.  The case has been submitted to arbitration and the hope (from Bill and message board types) is that arbitration will pass on issuing a judgement and then the company can proceed with a court case to defeat Drago and his claims to the patents.

The second case (and most important) is the case that has been filed against T-Mobile.  This is the first of a number of suits expected to be filed against other cellular carriers.  This suit is expected to set precedent that T-Mobile infringed on Calypso’s patents and, by default, the rest of the cellular industry.  The financial ramifications could be in the hundreds of millions for CLYW.

The decline and fall of CLYW

The chart illustrates the collapse of CLYW and the fact that it has treaded water for the last several years.

AEN, ACTC, ANX

Good Morning Traders!

I have three quick charts for you to look at this morning on three penny stock biotech plays.  ACTC and ANX have charts that look like they are definitely on the move (up, that is) and the third AEN might be following them.

Advanced Cell Technology Inc. (ACTC.OB)

Adventrx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ANX)

Adeona Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AEN)

Three stocks that you should get to know this morning.  They are all typical biotech plays with lousy balance sheets, marginal revenues and a great deal of uncertainty about their drugs. Any news could send them flying (in either direction).  Trade carefully, but all three might have some gains in them near term imo.

Be sure and sign up for my HOT penny stock alerts. I do all of the hard work to give you trading ideas that you can make money on.  My track record has been quite impressive. sign up here

Good luck and good trading,

Editor-in-Chief

One of my favorite members, Errol R., sent me an email yesterday asking me about Innovative Health Services, Inc. (IHSN).  He was wondering why this penny stock wasn’t selling for 40 cents a share.

It should, shouldn’t it?  It has a 40 cent per share buyout offer according to a recent PR.  Read it here.  The Board has approved the buyout (they aren’t fools) and everything should be rosy.  Right?

Not at all.  The stock has actually gone down since the announcement and is currently trading south of 2 cents.   It also has a huge short position with about 42 MM shares short.

Shouldn’t it be trading around 40 cents?  Something must be up.  My buddy Errol and I are trying to get to the bottom of it.

Scam, Sham or Shazaam?!

I actually had a conversation with the CEO of the company, Chris Winter, on Friday.  He says that he has been inundated with calls since the news of the buyout was issued. …30 to 35 calls per day.

He claims they are NOT a scam or a sham.  An unsolicited offer came to them and by SEC rules he had to disclose it.  They are going through the offer right now, but was unable to tell me specifics.

I am highly skeptical of the offer.   Why would a buyer buy this stock at 7 cents above the 52-week average.  Makes no sense.

The numbers back me up:  That buyout offer would give the company a value of over $51 MILLION.  (free trading shares of 128 MM times 40 cents).  That doesn’t even include 1.19 BILLION restricted shares.

IHSN’s business (or why would someone buy this company)

This is a company with no revenues and no backlog (that I am aware of).  I have read about their infomercial business and its iconic leader, Tim Harrington.   The guy does have some nice credentials and, according to the company, the phones are ringing off the hook with people that want to work with Mr. Harrington.

Harrington Multi Media Marketing (IHSN’s 1st acquisition called HM3) has only been around since 2010 and Mr. Harrington’s $4 Billion dollar track record as an infomercial demigod didn’t happen at HM3.  Read HM3 website to better understand what I mean.

Something smells!   I’m just not sure what.

I have called all of the numbers for the company and most are disconnected.  The main number only rings to an executive suites receptionist.   However, I did get a call back from Mr. Winter…score one for Mr. Winter.

I enjoyed talking with Mr. Winter, but he didn’t clear many things up.

I also did some further checking and Tim Harrington’s last stop before HM3 was at TVGoods, LLC that is owned and operated by one Kevin Harrington (Tim’s Brother?).   “Mr. Infomercial” Kevin calls himself.  Tim was only Executive VP before heading out on his own.

That doesn’t give me much confidence.  When I Go0gle ‘Tim Harrington’, I don’t get many hits.  When I Google ‘Kevin Harrington’, I get tons of hits about him and infomercials.  It looks like Kevin is the infomercial heavyweight and Tim is the lightweight.

Here is the chart:

I don’t give much credence to the buyout offer and it doesn’t seem like the Street does either.  My impression of Mr. Winter was that he was an earnest (but guarded) man.  There is a lot going on that the average investor is unaware of….typical penny stock!

I will continue to monitor it and report back to you.

Good luck and good trading,

Jeffrey Dean

Northgate Minerals Corporation (NYSE Amex: NXG) is a strong, producing junior gold miner.  NXG has a great balance sheet, awesome gold properties and a large gold and silver reserves.  It is on a bit of a downtrend right now, but look for it to strengthen in the weeks to come.

Golden Star Resources Ltd. (AMEX:GSS) is another junior gold miner on the rise.  With its main operations in Ghana’s Ashanti Gold Belt (and the news of a recent strike on its Prestea concession), strong balance sheet (although debt is a bit high), growing revenues and strong reserves, there is a lot to like about GSS.

NovaGold Resources Inc.  (AMEX:NG) has made the strongest moves lately of all of the gold stock on this page.  Much of what we know about NG come from their PR’s and not 10-K and 10-Q’s.  I don’t like that, but everything I see: $175MM capital raises, strong reserve reports, buzz, etc… lead me to believe that NG might be a great play going forward too.  The upward trend is strong.  The near term correction it is experiencing is, to me, just an opportunity to buy on dips.  NG looks good.

I released this pick on my Twitter site a few days ago and have followed it since.  I didn’t have time to do a blog on it until now.  I think that the trend is ZAGG’s friend once again.

ZAGG was one of last year’s stock stars vaulting from $1.00 to almost $8.00.  And, like most stars in the stock market, it was a “shooting star” and its fall was almost as dramatic as its rise. The stock hit a low of $2.10 just a few days ago (that is when I posted it to Twitter) and has made a strong recovery.  A recovery that I think might have some legs.

This is strictly a chart play.

Oh, yeah…what does ZAGG do?  ZAGG Incorporated designs, manufactures, and distributes protective coverings, audio accessories, and power solutions for consumer electronic and hand-held devices.  ZAGG is solidly profitable, has cash in the bank and no debt.

Will ZAGG get hot again.  Watch it and see.

One of my alerts of previous months was Wind Works Power Corporation (WWPW).  It was a great stock for members!  When I profiled WWPW on November 19th, 2009 it opened around 88 cents and hit an intraday high of $1.40 just three days later. That is a potential gain of almost 60%.  Since that time,  however, the stock has “taken a break”.  It has retraced all of that gain and is trading below my alert price.  I think the time is right to take another look at WWPW.

I like wind power. I believe that it is one of the energy technologies that will help get America off the oil habit.  The challenge with companies is realizing that promise.  The high-profile “crash and burn” of Texas billionaire, T. Boone Pickens, and his failed mega wind farm in TX is just one of the black eyes the industry has gotten in recent years.

However, I understand more about WWPW and I like their business model. I have kept it on my trading radar and have talked to their IR people and I understand even more about the company.  If you read their PR and peruse their website, you will notice that they have an impressive array of projects in Canada and around the globe.  The challenge for an investor is to look beyond the hype and see if there is a business there.  I could say that I am a wind farm developer but without utility contracts, contracts with landowners, and financing, I am just a promoter.  WWPW appears to be much more than a promoter, BUT….

The important thing to understand with WWPW is that they will never complete a single wind farm project!

I will let you digest that fact for a moment.  What WWPW does is “packaging”.  They have a management team that has done before exactly what WWPW is contemplating now.  I will use their Canada operations as an example.  Currently, the company has 190 MegaWatts (MW) of wind power on the drawing boards (spread over 15 different projects).  With land locked up, plans drawn up and utility power purchase agreements in place, these projects are VERY VALUABLE.  The value of these projects is derived by applying a dollar sales multiple per megawatt and also factoring the ongoing revenues from the profits interest WWPW will retain.  According to the company, those 190 MW’s could conceivably demand a purchase price (from a utility or another energy company) of $500,000 per MW and also the company would keep a net profits interest of 5 to 20%.

Do the math in your head and it appears that WWPW could be a very valuable company in the near future.  At 53 cents, WWPW seems cheap to me based upon expectation of future earnings. I will use another company similar to WWPW as corroboration of my point.  Recently, Schneider Power, Inc. (SNE.V) was purchased by Quantum Technologies for what appears to be a high premium, but what initially drew me to SNE was that they had sold one of their wind projects off recently for a good price.  Read release here.  Schneider sold their interest for over $5 MM  and retained a profits interest going forward of up to 20%.

I apologize for going long in this blog, but I want my readers and members to understand the opportunity as I see it.

Here is the chart…which is attractive in its own right.  See my notations on the chart.

I plan on trading WWPW (probably today) and have a good feeling about it.  It is a company that has a quick path to profitability… and don’t forget that it has another 210 MW that are located in the United States and Europe that are in various stages of development.   Here is a link to an investor presentation nested on their site that makes a very strong case for WWPW (as you would expect it to) – Investor Fact Sheet

I have so much more on this company, but since I am not trying to write ‘War and Peace’, I’ll save it for another time.  WWPW might be worth taking some time to get to know.

Wind power stocks have demonstrated extreme volatility over the past year and today’s blog subject, Nacel Energy, Corporation (NCEN), is no different.  From an opening 2009 price of around $2.00, the stock dropped below $1.00 on two occasions only to rally back to around $1.50.   August 2009  was the last high (around $1.50).  The stock has declined steadily since that date to now trade around 60 cents.   NCEN has not stopped churning out press releases to keep the public interested and informed, but it hasn’t seemed to work. Even November’s news of a successful capital raise didn’t do anything to raise the stock.

Let’s take the nickel tour of NCEN.  According to the company, they are one of the first U.S. public companies exclusively developing utility class wind power generation facilities. NCEN’s domestic market niche is the development of 10-30 MW projects in Class 4 or higher wind corridors with favorable existing transmission infrastructure.

They have 5 projects that that are currently in some stages of completion (i.e. off the drawing board) – 4 in TX and 1 in AZ.  The Company believes that they could have several of these sites “up and running” by the 3rd Q of 2010 IF things go according to plan.

The capital raise of $750,000 (press release here) was at good terms for both the investor and current shareholders.  It sets a near term value for the shares of 90 cents (with discounts, the floor price could be 75 cents).  The terms also includes warrants that if exercised over the life of the agreement could raise another $3 to $4 Million for the company.  The market didn’t seem to care.

The chart shows a slow decline that is remarkable for how unremarkable that it has been. The price trend for the last 6 months has been down as indicated in the enclosed chart.

I NEVER attempt to call a bottom on a stock.  I cannot say for sure how much farther NECN could fall, but I am going to watch it.   Even though the stochastics are deeply oversold and would appear to indicate that a bounce is possible, the trend is definitely down.  The old saying that “trend trumps oscillators” certainly applies here.

Having said that, I actually LIKE the company.  I think that they are well positioned to succeed.  The combination of wind power dynamics , a successful capital raise, an experienced management team and projects in various stages of completion makes me bullish on NCEN.  By “windpower dynamics” I mean that there is a perfect storm of incentives and reasons for windpower to succeed.  With government subsidies in place, alternative energy quotas being imposed on utility companies, specialized companies devoted to financing wind turbines, the chances for windpower companies like NCEN to succeed increase exponentially.

I encourage my readers to tour their website which has lots of good information in it.

This is definitely a radar stock for me.

I can’t quite understand why the market is so down on Newmarket Technology, Inc. (NWMT) Despite having a very solid company, the market (and traders) continue to sell the “hell out of the stock”.  As you will see in the accompanying chart, sellers are dominating and have turned a $1.00 into a penny stock over the past year.

A little about the company (from one of their PR’s):

NWMT is a reporting company with audited financial reports filed with the SEC. NewMarket provides systems integration, technology infrastructure services and emerging technology worldwide. NewMarket has a focus on providing technology and support services to rapidly growing economies where technology purchasing is on the rise (Emphasis added). In addition to its base of operations in North America, NewMarket has operations today in the growing economies of China, Southeast Asia, Brazil and Northern Latin America. Last year the Company reported over $40 million in revenue from Asia and over $20 million in revenue from Latin America. Overall, NewMarket reported over $95 million in revenue for 2008.

NWMT has been a victim of their own press release machine.  When we did an alert on NWMT a few months back, I fully expected it to be a good trading stock.  Well, it continued to freefall,  so today you can pick up shares for around 7 1/2 cents.  NWMT has hyped itself so much that traders have turned a deaf ear to their PR’s.  They continue to trumpet the fact that they were on the Deloitte and Touche Fast 500 as one of the fastest growing companies…..that is old news.  Move on, NWMT.  You are no longer a growth company.  Get over it and move on.

Let’s talk about what you are.  NWMT has got a lot of good going for it.  It should book around $100MM in revenues for 2009 in line with 2008.  No longer a growth company but in light of the current economic malaise booking the same revenue year over year is not bad at all.  It has a strong balance sheet with low debt and great debt coverage ratios.  NWMT has 19 cents in cash per share (and the share price is only 7 1/2 cents)!!!! They are a typical IT firm with razor thin margins, but they have shown the ability to turn a profit quarter over quarter and year over year.  Their focus on under-served foreign markets seems to be a good one.

Here is the chart that I mentioned:

This is a chart for a company that has lost the hearts and minds of traders.  And, they need us! They have no institutional ownership and insiders hold less than 2% of the shares.   Stop hyping the hell out of the stock and let traders know what a good, solid company this is.

I don’t know how much farther this stock can fall (my guess is “not much more”), but trying to guess a bottom on a stock has never been one of my talents.  I am looking at the indicators and thinking “bounce”.  Time will tell if I am right.  According to the company, the 4th Q is traditionally the strongest for the company.  Let’s see if NWMT can break the magic $100MM barrier and issue some news that traders actually care about.

Good luck and good trading

Just a quick heads up on one of my favorite stocks:  Legend International Holdings, Inc. (LGDI). I blogged it back on September 14th when it was at 60 cents…….good timing on my part because it ZOOMED to $1.11 in just a week after I blogged it. I believe the setup is very similar and a short-term bounce is possible.

I love this stock and this company.  LGDI is a very boring natural resource play….they are an exploration company that is exploring and mapping giant deposits of  Phosphate Rock….a crucial component of fertilizer and industrial products.  They own millions of acres of land in Australia (in proven mining zones) and are a well-capitalized, well-managed mining operation.

I will have more about LGDI in the future, but they announced some strong news today, too.  The company announced the formation of a strategic alliance with Wengfu Group Co. Ltd (Wengfu) for the development of LGDI’s phosphate mine, a beneficiation plant and a phosphoric acid plant in the Mt Isa region, Queensland, Australia.  Wengfu, once the DD is completed, will become an equity partner (joining an already prestigious group of institutional investors, including George Soros) and lend its technical expertise to LGDI.

Here is the chart….you can see the stock has given back much of its gains and has an attractive chart.

I expect that you will hear a lot about LGDI from me in the weeks and months to come.  I really like it!

BlueWave Advisors, which is the owner of this website has been compensated a total of seven-thousand five hundred dollars by Legend International Holdings for coverage of LGDI.

My Dad sends me emails all the time….political stuff, jokes, spiritual sayings.  It is all fun stuff….what else is Dad going to do with his retirement?

Today, he sent me a video that was just plain “fun”.  It actually turns out to be an advertisement for VW.  That’s O.K. by me…I love VW’s.  I owned a 2000 Passat wagon and it was one of the best cars I have ever owned.

Enough talking….enjoy

I love getting emails from my members and readers….I feel that the feedback makes my site better.  I especially love stories from people that have traded one of my alerts or blog picks and banked! I also get lots of emails from people asking me to take a look at a stock for them.  Some of them are absolute train wrecks, but others have merit.

Like today’s blog subject:  Fieldpoint Petroleum Corporation (FPP).  One of my readers, Jon, asked me to take a look at it.  I liked what I saw.  It has a real business, decent fundamentals and a great chart.

FPP is a producing oil and gas company.  According to the company, they own over 300 wells in Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming.  They do a good job of press releasing so traders can get a flavor of their progress….and, they seem to be making some.

I mentioned that they were a producing oil and gas company and, when I took a look at their financials, they are not too bad.  Many oil and gas producers seem to be built solely on hype. Not FPP…they actually have revenues (but no profits).  Their balance sheet, while not strong, will get them through the near term.

Insiders own 38.9% of the company while there is even some institutional ownership.  The company does something on their website that I have never seen before in a company like this:  they have an “ethics” section on their site.  A nice touch and I hope they live up to it.

What really caught my eye is the chart:

• Stochastics indicate that the stock is in oversold status
• The MACD is above the zero line, but is indicating bearishness
• Volume has remained steady (around 50K shares per day)
• Volatility is present in this stock and it could spike again on good news (as it has in the past)

No one can say when a stock will move, but based on the chart this one looks like it might have a move in its future.  The nice thing about the chart is that those moves have been multi-day moves rather than a one-day wonder.

Check out FPP.  Their company website really doesn’t have a lot of information on it, but they are not shy about press releasing.  I plan on watching them closely.  Oil and Gas prices remain high and that should be a positive for a stock like FPP.

Good luck and good trading

Who woulda thunk?….That you can make fuel out of that green stuff that used to get stuck between your toes when you waded in swamps and ponds.  Origin Oil is only one of several companies that are hard at work trying to commercialize the technology to extract oil from algae.

I have followed OOIL for several months and like what I see.  It is a development-stage company but they seem to run a “tight ship”.

Here is a really good description of  the company and its goals (taken from a corporate presentation):

“The OriginOil business model can be compared to Microsoft’s in the world of computers. It is OriginOil’s intention to become part of the operating system of the algae industry (delusions of grandeur? – ed.). ……. OriginOil plans to sell its technology through its network, both as integrated technology and as branded devices, and to offer its services to help design, build and manage algae installations the world over. To help reach customers widely, it intends to develop regional partners to provide local manufacturing, sales, and services to regional end users.

The company is not in the business of producing and marketing algae-based oil or fuel as an end product. (emphasis added) OriginOil is in the preliminary stages of commercializing its scalable algae-to-oil technology. In Sept. 2009, the company presented the first comprehensive algae production model, developed with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) of the Department of Energy under its collaborative research agreement with OriginOil.  (The Algae PDF is also an excellent sleep aid…it is packed with a great deal of information about algae)

The Chart (annotated below) looks promising.  See for yourself.

I encourage my members to put OOIL on their radar list.   OOIL is still many years away from being a revenue-producing company, but they appear to have some solid momentum going for them and run a tight ship as I had mentioned earlier.  They are, in my estimation, a short-term trade and with this chart and the buzz that is surrounding it could very well move.

Good luck and good trading.

I monitor a number of boards including our own Stock Hideout.  “Supposed” hot stocks are flying all over the board, so that I almost have become immune to all of the hype.  However, one name that keeps popping up (so much that I can’t ignore it) is Atlantic Wind and Solar (AWSL).  I must admit that I first heard about AWSL in mid-August when it was around $1.20.  Looked interesting, but seemed extended. Boy, was I wrong.

AWSL reached an intraday high of $4.84 today. It was a rocking stock, too.  Short sellers hit it and it dropped down to $3.02 only to recover strong and close at $3.89.  The question that it begs is are the short sellers going to rule or not.  Tim Sykes was all over AWSL and, while he is right that it has been promoted vigorously, I am not convinced that it is going to fall.

AWSL (The Company) - Whoever wrote their website copy majored in expressive writing in college, but I was able to cut through the flowery speech and figure out what these guys do.  They are aiming to be in the forefront of the wind and solar revolution that is sweeping the world.  By partnering with corporations, associations, land and business owners, AWSL will install, service, manage solar and wind installations that can range from a single rooftop to a full parks.  They are touting relationships that they are working on that will drive them to profitability and a pre-eminent position in the industry in a short time.

The important thing to remember that solar is not the answer to our energy dilemma, just part of the answer.  Most solar installations have a hard time running…um, in the dark for instance.  However, a combination of tax incentives, energy savings, profits from sale of excess energy and the cachet of being green should make this a hot commodity to their intended customers.

Keep in mind that AWSL has two things going for it:  News and Chart

The latest release proclaims that “AWSL Strengthens Alliances and Declares Dividend”

AWSL has a small float (under 20MM shares I am told) and this dividend will increase their market liquidity.  The release went on say, AWSL has “declared a 1-for-3 stock dividend, payable on December 7, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 23, 2009. For every three (3) common shares held on the record date, shareholders will receive 1 free additional share on the payable date.”  That to me will spur more buying in the stock.

Another release that I find encouraging is that they have retained an SEC auditor to get them compliant as part of their plan to upgrade their stock listing (AMEX would be my guess).  It is about time!

Here is their chart with my comments:

Also of note are several insider buys.  Two insiders have purchased a combined $3.2 million in stock at prices ranging from 50 cents to $1.54.  Obviously, they are betting that AWSL will go a lot higher.

My conclusion is that traders should radar list AWSL.  If you trade it, make sure you have a tight trailing stop on it.  Take the gains as they present themselves.  If the stock goes up appreciably, you can relax the trailing stop so you don’t get “stopped out” on any dips (and there will be some IMO).  If this stock gets hot, it could be a $10.00 stock based upon the buzz about it…..Don’t trust buzz though.  I would like to see AWSL start booking deals, signing contracts, getting necessary financing, become a reporting company, etc…, but until then I still remain a fan.

Good luck and good trading

Thankfully, not the 70′s Dance craze!  I’m talking about a stock.

Discovery Laboratories, Inc. (DSCO) has been a popular topic on the boards lately.  Especially in September when positive FDA news about their signature drug, Surfaxin, made the stock skyrocket.  The news was good but not spectacular.  It was merely an acknowledgment by the FDA that DSCO proposed improved testing program for Surfaxin was  “reasonable”.  Surfaxin is their drug that is aimed at treating respiratory distress syndrome in premature infants.  In addition, DSCO received guidance from the FDA on the design of its proposed limited clinical trial.

But, the market saw this as a huge endorsement for the company who had been experiencing some LONG delays in the approval process for Surfaxin.

The chart tells a compelling story:

• Upside volume resulted in two large spikes…the first (before the news came out) drove the price to $1.10, the second (when the news came out) drove the price intraday to $1.70
• Since that time, the stock has given back much of that gain to trade today at $0.94
• It appears that the stock is basing at this level and has support at around 94 cents
• The MACD is still indicating bearishness
• Stochastics indicate the stock is oversold

According to Yahoo! Finance, DSCO had a 115.27 million-share float with a short interest float 14.71 million (12.79%) of  as of Sept. 25, up from 12.46% the previous month.  A relatively low percentage of 4.93% of the company’s shares were held by insider and another 36.8% was owned by institutions.

It appears that DSCO continues to be a playground for the short sellers.  Traders should be aware of that fact for both positive and negative reasons.  If the shares advance, it could unleash a torrent of buying to cover those shorts.  If the short sellers sense weakness in the stock, they will short it into the ground.

Here is the chart:

The last item concerns DSCO to hang on long enough to get Surfaxin and other pipeline drugs approved and selling.  Looking at their fins, I see a company that is set up for the long haul….good cash balances, great liquidity ratios, minimal debt.  It looks like DSCO has some staying power which is crucial in the pharma and biotech sector.

Radar this one and watch it closely.  It may give back more of its gain in the next few days, but I see a turn to the positive  coming soon.

Good luck and good trading

***********************************************************************************************************

I did a blog on American Oriential Bioengineering back in April of this year.  I have been familiar with AOB for quite a few years….trading in and out of it profitably several times.  Back on April 27th of 2009, I did a blog saying that I was bullish on the st0ck.  It was a good call….AOB was not a one day rocket, but a position trade that delivered solid gains for patient traders.  Here is a link to my April 27th blog

I think that it might be time to look at AOB again.  As strange as this sounds, I “trust” the company.  Their financial condition hasn’t changed much since I blogged about them previously.  It is a profitable company that has strong financials (cash-in-bank, good ratios, etc…).  The only fly in their ointment continues to be their debt (over 115MM last Q).  However, they have strong cash flow and no liquidity concerns.

Let’s take a look at their chart:

• Stock is oversold
• MACD is neutral and below zero line.  If it turns up and then crosses the zero line, it becomes bullish in a hurry
• It looks like sellers and profit takers are out (AOB had a high short sellers ratio in September)
• Volatile Stock….a trader’s best friend

AOB may not be a double or a triple, but I think that AOB is a stock that my members should take a look at. The chart is favorable, the rumors of a impending financing is positive, the company makes money and has lots of money in the bank….all good things.

Good luck and good trading
