Today’s alert company Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc. (BPAC) is a second look for many Soup members.  I previewed this stock with members in early 2010 and, in a multi-day move, returned a solid 42% gain.

It was one of the easiest moves I have watched in a long time. The chart is setting up nice right now, and I am hoping that we are all in for another nice ride. continue

RGEN posted a 52-week low on Friday and appears to be losing the hearts and minds of investors.  Could be a good time to invest!

Repligen Corporation (RGEN) is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of novel therapeutics for neurological disorders.  It is unique in the world of biopharma for several reasons…it has significant income already and it is sitting on a huge amount of cash.  Biopharma companies are traditionally very volatile.  Well, the pendulum for RGEN has been swinging the wrong way for quite a while.  I would not be surprised to see that pendulum swing back.

The news that “drove a stake in theheart” of RGEN’s stock price was the news that one of their drugs, a pancreas imaging agent designated RG1068, did not meet its main goal in a late-stage clinical study.  In an overreaction typical of the biopharma space, the stock tanked.  While the company tried to put a positive spin on it, it was clear that the drug has problems.  According to the company, they will determine the drug’s future after discussions with the FDA in early 2010.

What this news overshadowed, in my mind, is that RGEN is SO MUCH MORE than just this one drug.  Fiscal year end 2008 and 2009 (March 31st) showed a profit for the full year.  While the company is operating at a Quarter-over-Quarter loss this year, the company is on a run rate to book revenues of over $20MM.  The company has an absolutely ROCK SOLID balance sheet….cash and equivalents of over $42MM and NO LONG TERM DEBT.

RGEN’s recent news hasn’t been all bad either. Shortly after the RG1068 announcement, RGEN ann0unced the the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) awarded them a grant for $731,000 for further research into new treatments for Friedreich’s ataxia.  This grant will support the completion of preclinical GLP toxicology testing and GMP manufacture of a drug candidate for human clinical trials.  The company believes that this funding is significant because it is evidence of support from the MDA not only provides important funding for Repligen’s research but it also provides access to a global network of scientists, physicians and patients.  This is the second research grant that RGEN has received from the MDA to support its Friedreich’s ataxia program.

To the Chart!

Clearly, RGEN is on a negative trend and no one call a bottom.  However, the stock bears watching.  It has the kind of balance sheet, revenue stream, position in the industry that makes me believe that this dip in stock price could only be temporary.  It has heavy insider and institution ownership, the short percentage is under 5% and is sitting on lots of cash.

Radar RGEN.…any good news will easily recover the lost value in the shares and the company has the financial wherewithal to “stay in the game” for a long, long time.

Good luck and good trading,

Jeffrey Dean, Editor

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

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

I know…..strange title for a blog, but today I feel like I am playing sandlot football. I am diagramming a pass play in the dirt and telling “timmy” to go long and “billy” to go short.  Well, in today’s blog I am telling my readers to look at two penny stocks that are a long and a short.

GO LONG - EDAP

EDAP is a French medical company that manufactures medical devices for the treatment (mainly) of urological treatments.  Here is their website, so you can do your own research.  EDAP Website.  Taking a quick scan of the company impressed me. They appear to have a strong stable of products that are accepted in the marketplace worldwide.  They have strong revenues (over $32MM in 2008), a strong balance sheet (strong cash, strong liquidity ratios, but $15MM in debt) and a likely looking chart.

And, at the end of the day, that is what I care about the most.  Here is the chart:

The chart indicates that August was a very good month for EDAP.  They got FDA approval for one of their medical devices and this small cap stock did just what it should with such good news:  it SKYROCKETED! A $1.50 small cap stock became a $4.50 stock in the matter of ONE day.  Since, I have watched it trade sideways.  In the first few weeks, it looked like the sellers were cashing out of the stock, but the odd thing was that the penny stock stayed stable and strong….i.e. no precipitous drops back to the lower level.  That speaks volumes to me.  The indicators above are showing a small cap stock that is oversold currently and with a MACD that is bearish.  The angle and strength of the bearish signal is weakening, but it is still bearish.  Volume has dropped off, but that is relative.  It still trades on average almost a million shares per day.

I don’t have a crystal ball to know if any more good news is coming.  Their second quarter earnings release was mostly good news and from PR’s they appear to be making steady progress towards increasing revenues and turning a profit.  I would recommend getting to know this company. I see good things ahead for them.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the stock doesn’t take that “next leg up” in the near future.

GO SHORT - NXTH

This is purely a chart play.  Take a look at the chart.

I’ve looked at the company and all I can see is hype.  A stock that has run up so far and so fast on what I would call “thin” news.,  i.e. Not a lot of meat, is due to fall.  Watch it for the tipping point which I suspect should come in the near future.  Financially, it is not a strong company, it has revenues, but is still very far away from being profitable.  Their PR’s are mainly puff pieces, IMO.

So, I hope that you score TWO touchdowns by going short and long on these two small cap stocks.

Good luck and good trading

Many of my members tell me they are looking new, low-priced ideas with a killer technology.  Well after a lot of research, I think AlumiFuel Power, Inc. (AFPW) fits the bill and will be a good trader.  It is one of those low-priced stocks that my members are going to LOVE!

AFPW is looking for power that is CLEAN, GREEN, NON-TOXIC AND EMISSION FREE:  Hydrogen Power!

The company admits that you may not be able to drive a hydrogen-powered car, but you can rely on hydrogen power that is powerful and portable and perfect for small-scale applications.

AFPW is an early production stage (as opposed to development stage) alternative energy company AND has patented technology that they believe is revolutionizing the HYDROGEN POWER industry.  They have developed a technology that generates hydrogen gas and super-heated steam for a myriad of applications for commercial, miiitary and national security customers.

Their technology is solid and backed by a number of patents.  They are currently exploring the commercialization of their technology across a number of niches and industries.

Here is what I think you need to know about AFPW:

AFPW’s unique technology is based on the exothermic chemical reaction of aluminum powder and water.

• Produces NO harmful by-products - It is SAFE, CLEAN AND ENVIRONMENTALLY BENIGN
• Hydrogen power delivers FIVE (5) times the energy density (runtime) of conventional lithium-ion batteries
• Designed for providing energy in several modes:  backup, portable and auxiliary
• NO external power is needed.  The power units are self-contained

AFPW has made inroads with several commercial, military and national security clients:

• Creation of hydrogen and steam drive underwater propulsion systems for military applications
• Creation of a new class of turbine-based portable and auxiliary power systems

• proven technology for the inflation of devices such as weather balloons for military and World Meteorological Organization applications
• And, the list is growing

The company has not released estimates of the market size of each of their current niches, but believe them to be significant.

Here are some good places to begin your due diligence

GWSC could be READY FOR TAKEOFF today

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE. Great job to everyone who was able take advantage of my great picks from last week. As expected, they traded strong with great volatility with plenty of opportunities to trade.  While I would recommend that my members keep an eye on previous alerts, I remind everyone that we trade to book profits. Be happy with the gains and look for the next opportunity to profit in the stock (when and if it presents itself), but let’s move on to a new week and A NEW PICK.

And,  I am excited about this week and have been working hard on selecting some great stocks for you to review.  I am still recovering from last week, but I have found some GREAT companies for my members.

Today’s alert company is:  GWS Technologies, Inc. (GWSC)

They are a “Green” company and a leading firm in a providing renewable energy solutions to consumers.  Their stated goal is help their customers generate their own electricity while being environmentally friendly.

They have a mission:  Making wind and solar available to the masses.

This is not “pie in the sky”. They CURRENTLY offer wind and solar energy solutions for individuals, businesses, government and corporations using a concept called “MICROGENERATION”.

What is Microgeneration, you ask?

It is the ability that individuals and businesses have to be a part of the energy SOLUTION around the world. Microgeneration puts energy production into smaller sites, using proven technology, is closer to the point-of-use and has the Obama Administration’s full support.

And, the technology that exists today, in wind and solar, is highly scalable.  Examples of that include:

• an INDIVIDUAL HOMEOWNER can buy from GWSC a fully operational wind turbine and/or solar panel
• A BUILDING OWNER can partner with GWSC to reftrofit an existing building or design a new one that incorporates proven wind and solar technology
• a DEVELOPER, in a joint venture with GWSC, can create a utility-scale wind or solar farm on properties of any size

This flexibility gives GWSC ways to make money now and into the future:

• The homeowner gives GWSC money now (and cashflow) for the project that they engineer and install
• The Building Owner gives GWSC money now and interest going forward in any energy that is sold to the local utility company
• The Developer (and joint venture partner) usually arranges the financing, GWSC provides the equipment, technical know-how, management oversight, contracts with utility companies and gets paid now and into the future.

GWSC believes that we shouldn’t wait for the government to fix the energy problem (they will get around to it once they have fixed social security, medicare and universal health care).  Individuals and corporations can, with GWSC’s help, generate their own power TODAY!

Here is what I like about the company:

• The company is an integrator and value-added reseller of the latest technology in wind and solar
• The company is developing relationships and partnerships with the leading suppliers in the microgeneration movement to continue to provide the most current technology for their customers and partners
• The company is moving aggressively to create joint venture partnerships with landowners, developers and utility companies to create their own utility-scale wind and solar projects
• The company is firmly entrenched in two of the HOTTEST and WINDIEST States in the Union:  Arizone has 320 days of sunshine per year and Montana is the second windiest state in the country.  Read the release about their Montana initiative.
• The Federal Government and EVERY state in union offers a combination of tax and financial incentives to promote wind and solar

The famous (some say infamous) T. Boone Pickens inadvertently and unknowingly gave GWSC his support when he recently canceled his mammoth Texas wind project.  The economics of the massive 4,000MW wind farm spread over 200,000 acres in West Texas never worked.  The lack of high-powered transmission lines (and the cost) severely hampered Pickens’ efforts. That fact and doubts over financing for the $10B project led Pickens to cancel the project earlier this year.  Read the post-mortem here:  T. Boone scraps wind farm project.

A typical GWSC project would be 40 to 100 acres, close to either transmission lines or cities and be tied into the local utility grid. They make money putting in the project and then for the length of the power purchase agreement with the local utility (approx. 25 years) they share in the proceeds.  Sounds like a good deal to me!

The company believes strongly that MICROGENERATION is the future for both wind and solar! This link to their fact sheet will give you some GREAT information about the projects that are currently in the works.

The chart for GWSC presents an opportunity, too.

It is showing the following:

• GWSC is sitting on support at around $1.05
• It is still trading between its 50 and 200-day MA
• The MACD has turned positive (but still below the zero line)
• Stochastics are in a strong uptrend

The stock has a 52-week high of $3.27 (on the heels of a massive 1,400% move in June 2009).  The stock is obviously getting known and while the near term resistance is $1.25, if GWSC gets hot I think it could easily revisit its July high of $1.90.

Here is the corporate website for your due dilignece:  GWSC

And always do your due diligence.  GWSC has an interesting story and a recent strong trading history.  It is one to watch.  Definitely put this one on your radar list.

—————————————————————————————————————————————-

I am getting sick of talking about SPNG.  I blog about it monthly.  However, my members have made serious gains trading this long and short….I have recommended both.

Come September 22nd and SPNG says “goodbye” to the day trading world.   That is the day that the reverse stock split become effective and for every 100 shares of SPNG you have, you get one.  At the time it was announced, the stock was trading around 20 cents.

Boy, did the short sellers get rich.  My last blog (read it here) I talked about how SPNG was ready to be shorted and had put out a press release essentially taunting the short sellers in the penny stock (read release here) .  It takes large cojones to spit in the face of traders. Guess what, the short sellers won!  The PR said that even the most recent short sellers were at an average of 16 cents….guess what?  The penny stock is now at 9.3 cents and the short sellers are loving it.

Here is SPNG’s chart:

Goodbye SPNG.  I will miss you.  You were fun and profitable for me.

Traders will miss SPNG, too….for about 5 minutes.  And, then we are off looking for the next play, the next hot thing and we will forget all about you.

If things don’t work out with the “Big Boys” of Nasdaq,  SPNG, you are always welcome back in penny stock land.

My stock screen pulled out an undiscovered gem and I want to share it with you. I screen for companies that are beaten down and I try to determine why they are down.  Some deserve to be and those I wouldn’t touch with the proverbial “ten-foot pole”.  Others are temporary victims of bad news, a bad quarter or waning investor interest.  THOSE companies  can come back and deliver great gains for my members….and, that is what I am looking for. I think I found another one for your radar list.

Today’s company is Titan Uranium, Incorporated (TUEFF.PK). My members had great success with my last penny stock uranium pick, URST.  I alerted my readers about URST at 21 cents and within three weeks it was trading at 42 cents (on its way to a high of 46 cents).  For those keeping score at home, that is over 100% gain.

TUEFF is not URST. I will not and cannot promise you that TUEFF will act the same way as URST.   It is a totally different company with different fact patterns, but Titan is compelling nonetheless. The company is a development-stage enterprise engaged solely in the exploration for uranium.

Titan has interests in both in the United States and Canadian uranium fields.  Their main field is the Athabasca Basin in Canada. It is known as the world’s  “number one uranium address”. The field accounts for over a 3rd of the global production.  Two other properties, Sand Hill Lake/Rook II and Thelon Basin projects appear very promising according to the company.

What is unique about Titan is that they have spread the risk around by enlisting some influential partners to fund exploration in several key uranium-producing fields in Canada.  Titan has added partners who buy a significant percentage of the expected output from a field by making a multi-year financing commitment to fund exploration.   These partners have committed over Cdn $22 MM to fund exploration projects through 2012.

The chart is telling me that the stock is beat down.  Clearly, the stochastics are indicating that TUEFF is oversold and the RSI is nearing the oversold level too.  The MACD is neutral at this point, but could turn quickly (in either direction…but, I think it will be up).  The stock has clearly tanked, and has pushed past support at 27 cents.  This stock should be watched for when it turns.

I believe that it will turn.  The company is very well run, well capitalized and is exploring for a very valuable metal: Uranium.  The stock is not flashy or sexy, but could return some great gains for traders.

If you are doing your own research on TUEFF, don’t bother going to pinksheets.com or Yahoo! Finance.  They are on the Toronto exchange under the ticker TUE.V (see above chart).  All of the information you will need for your DD is found on their website.  Click here for the link to their site.

Titan is an interesting play.  I called the company and talked to a highly placed company official.  Getting information from him was like pulling teeth.  In fact, I didn’t get anything out of him.  They are very tight-lipped about their company, but clearly have a goal and a plan.  I believe that traders should look at the short-term trade possibilities for TUEFF, but don’t neglect the long-term either.
