On the Road to Off-Road Profits!
Good Morning!
I think it’s time to say hello again (for those of you who’ve been with me awhile) to one of our past winners…
San West, Inc. (SNWT)
SNWT is a retailer of premier off-road recreational vehicles in Southern California and the Western United States as well as a leading supplier in the off-road recreational vehicle arena through aftermarket parts, accessories and its highly successful vehicle repair and maintenance center. continue
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 was:
Newport Digital Technologies, Inc. (NPDT)
NPDT is primarily a chart play at this stage of its development. The company has yet to generate revenues, but from the PR’s it sure sounds like they are the next Microsoft (jk). I can’t tell exactly what they make, but they are a technology company allied with incubators in Taiwan and are creating products to match their competencies in WIMAX, RFID, Digital Signage, VOIP and Security and Surveillance. Personally, I would like to see more PR’s touting sales, sales commitments, contracts, etc….
But, as a chart play, it might make sense.
I actually like the technology behind what NPDT is offering. It recently announced that A WIMAX/RFID Alpha site is being brought online with a medical complex in Newport Beach, CA. I will watch with interest to see how that goes and if it can be a springboard to other projects. In the RFID arena, their goal is to replace bar codes and bar coding.
Here are some sites for your own due diligence:
Good luck and good trading,

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, Inc. in early 2010.
They must have been saving up press releases because they have flooded the airwaves with several in rapid succession. With the purchase of medcareers.com, they became Med Careers, Inc. That book of business has been enhanced with the announcement of the purchase of two additional companies: Staff MD and workabroad.com.
It appears that they are in the online medical staffing business based upon the PR’s I’ve read. The website gives some amorphous description of the business they are in. …that doesn’t really match their recent PR’s.
As you can tell, I am highly skeptical of their business. It seems like it is a phenomenon of some good PR and the expectation that this company is going to be a “player”. The challenging thing is to put some kind of revenue and profits numbers to all this PR. MCGI isn’t telling us, so I am assuming that the company is more sizzle than steak.
For as fuzzy as I think their website is, you can’t argue with this chart:
Note: The issue is so new that my old charting standby, Stockcharts.com, hasn’t even listed MCGI in its database
Will this stock be a penny stock before it is a $5 stock? I think so.
The Stochastics are very overbought, but until we get more trading history it is almost impossible to point to that indicator to say that it is going to fall. What can they follow this hype up with? Eventually traders will become numb to news about MCGI. Financial transparency, real revenues and profits will keep this stock afloat. When the good news runs out, so will MCGI.
Good luck and good trading,

Oh, by the way: The answer to the question I posed above (The question for me is it real and will it last?) is NO and NO!

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 is this is a company whose average daily volume was 16K shares and it has traded 7.9MM shares today!…on a public float of only 3.3MM shares.
Here is the chart:
Wow and Wow! This ship will crash to Earth at some point, but not yet. Anybody doing a Tim Sykes and shorting the stock today is in a world of hurt. Watch the trailing indicators (MACD, RSI and Stochastics) to see when the right time to short is. Be careful, this could be a multi-day runner. The first day of something THIS BIG with real news and HUGE investor interest could mean that this hangs around here…or even advances.
ZANE has made some people fortunes today. Let’s see if we can make a fortune on the way down, too.
Good luck and good trading,

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 business model can actually work. My wife and I have 4 kids and after each birth we were given the opportunity to harvest cord blood. We declined each time…too expensive, the value to our children wasn’t clear in our mind, logistics of storing and accessing it….a whole host of reasons.
Having said all this, I think that CBAI might actually make it….at least long enough for traders to make some money. I have been reading the press releases and the company is taking great pains to both dazzle and teach. Glitzy Las Vegas-style openings are contrasted with PR’s that tell of debt extinguishments, agreements signed, alliances gained, etc… The truth is that CBAI lives a hand-to-mouth existence. It has little or no cash and negative cash flow. Debt is less of a problem than it was in ‘09 with some debt being retired, but they are not “out of the woods”.
I think the chart is positive and if CBAI can catch fire, I would expect to see some strong gains.
CBAI seems to be consolidating at this level (as my chart indicates). Any break below the current price of $.009 and the stock should be avoided. I don’t believe that it will weaken, but, then again, my crystal ball is in the shop.
Good luck and good trading,

Most traders are familiar with…
BONANZA OIL & GAS, INC. (BGOI)
Over the past few months, BGOI has been in the news a lot—and rightly so!
The stock zoomed from 1 cent in mid-December to 7 cents in late January.
Then, the profit taking hit and the stock plummeted back down to around 1 cent again. And that’s were we are today!
It’s Déjà vu all over again!
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 cents in late January, but then pushed through that to now trade around 38 cents. Is this the bottom?…I hope so!
Let’s take a look at why AMNP captured traders’ imaginations in ‘09. AMNP has two projects that seem to have great potential. Its Urique project in the Sierra Madre Mountains of Mexico is their home run. It is contiguous to NYSE listed company Gold Corp’s (GG) El Sauzal mine which is very profitable. To the end of 2008, that mine had produced 1,072,000 ounces of gold and Goldcorp has reported proven and probable reserves of 470,000 ounces left on the property. the Urique Project, encompassing 71,334 acres, has the potential to be as prolific as the El Sauzal mine according to the company. However, the earliest revenue from that mine is expected to be 2012.
Its Discovery Day project in Nevada is small in comparison to the Urique project, but is projected to be revenue generating much, much sooner. In fact, estimates I have read claim that the mine will produce significant revenues for AMNP by the end of the 2010 fiscal year (7-31-10). Recent press releases touted the fact that the mine has been reopened and they are working towards production in the near term.
AMNP has what every mining and exploration company needs: Financing. The company announced, with great fanfare, an equity-based financing agreement with Tobermory Holding Ltd., a European institutional investor. According to the latest Q available, AMNP has made two draws against that agreement totalling $800,000. The initial commitment is for $6MM with up to an additional $10.5MM of financing available. Of course, AMNP must hit certain milestones, but the fact that they have the financing is huge. I will read their latest Q (whenever it is issued) to see just how the company is progressing.
AMNP’s Chart…with my annotations
AMNP has got some real potential IMO. However….remember that for every surge in price, traders who are stuck in losing position will sell into any strength. There are a lot of angry traders out there….from reading the boards. If the company decides to promote their stock again, that could make this thing fly. Don’t forget to factor in the price of gold into your equation. Now that the hype and hysteria have died down, AMNP actually looks like a good company with some exciting prospects.
Good luck and good trading,
Jeffrey Dean

I must apologize first for not blogging on Monday and Tuesday, but I was on a ski trip with the family and not thinking about the markets. My alert for Monday (BLGW) is doing very well I’m happy to report.
I jumped back in to my research this morning and came across a great company that has solid prospects: Cytomedix, Inc., a leading developer of biologically active regenerative therapies for wound care, inflammation and angiogenesis:physiological process involving the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels).
GTF’s AutoloGel System utilizes a unique technology that enables rapid isolation and activation of platelet rich plasma (PRP) from a patient’s own blood. The PRP is subsequently processed to produce a gel for application to the wound bed, re-establishing a balance needed for natural healing to occur. AutoloGel contains growth factors, cytokines and chemokines that are essential for normal wound healing. The AutoloGel System is used at the point-of care and is the only PRP System indicated for use in exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, diabetic ulcers and for the management of mechanically or surgically-debrided wounds. The AutoloGel System is the only PRP system that is FDA cleared for the care of wounds.
The company is generating revenues and those revenues are increasing significantly. They have cash-in-the-bank and NO long term debt….always a positive sign for me. With the 2009 capital raise, that bought the company some time to execute on their plan. Based upon what I have seen, they have high expectations for their AutoloGel System.
The chart indicates that the stock is trading near the bottom of its most recent trading range.
I am recommending that traders put GTF on their radar screens. I think the downside risk is low, but the upside is strong.
As always, do your own due diligence.
Good luck and good trading,
