eCrypt Technologies (ECRY) Prevents Hackers From Invading Your Privacy And Stealing Your Identity!

Good Morning!

Cyber crime is a profitable business. So profitable in fact that it’s surpassed illegal drug trafficking as a felon’s #1 moneymaker.

And wireless email users are a juicy and easy target.

· Wireless email users are expected to rise to 300 million this year

· Worldwide there’s 1 known hacker for every 15 wireless email users

· 10 million Americans will become victims of identity theft this year.

· An identity thief has only a 1 in 700 chance of being caught by law enforcement

· 70% of identity theft victims may never recover from damages to their credit rating

· 47% of identity theft victims may not be able to get a loan continue

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

I must admit that I am an alternative energy junkie.  I love all things alternative:  I love the almost infinite variety of wind, solar, biofuel, CO2 to gas technologies that are out there.  Each one of them is exciting on its own merits and each has a claim to be “The One” that makes it to the next level.  Could RZ be one of the winners?

Raser Technologies, Inc. (RZ - NYSE) is (from RZ’s website) an environmental energy technology company focused on geothermal power development and technology licensing.

RZ has two divisions:

1. Raser’s Power Systems segment is seeking to develop clean, renewable geothermal electric power plants and bottom-cycling operations, incorporating licensed heat transfer technology.
2. Raser’s Transportation and Industrial segment focuses on extended-range plug-in-hybrid vehicle solutions and using Raser’s award-winning Symetron™ technology to improve the torque density and efficiency of the electric motors and drive systems used in electric and hybrid-electric vehicle powertrains and industrial applications.

RZ is making only nominal revenues with large losses every quarter.  Looking through their website, press releases and 3rd party articles on them is impressive.  They really appear to have some great technology and prospects.  The Evergreen Clean Energy LLC joint venture seems to hold great promise.  Read the release here.  Evergreen, a newly-formed alternative energy fund, has agreed to fund several RZ geothermal projects in the U.S. The recent news of the appointment of a new CEO, Nick Goodman, didn’t do much for the stock,  Mr. Goodman seems to have a solid resume and could be just the guy that the company needs….time will tell.

But, since we live in the real world, let’s talk RZ as it stands right now.  RZ has, according to its own balance sheet, maybe two quarters of life left based upon the present cash burn.  The liquidity ratios stink and the company has a great deal of debt (more than it can comfortably service along with huge R & D expenses each Q).

The chart, on its face, doesn’t offer much hope either. The prolonged bearish slide doesn’t appear to be slackening.  Or does it? Candlestick chart analysis gives us some insight into the chart.  Most of the sticks during this decline were long bodies or Maurbozo’s (in a declining chart, that means that sellers ruled).  Buyers put little resistance and the stock was bid down every day significantly.  Except, that is, for the last two days.  We are actually seeing tails develop on the candles which means that buyers and sellers are struggling over the stock.  In fact, yesterday’s candle shows that the sellers drove it down, but the sellers brought it back up to close near the top of its trading range.  The key for RZ is to watch for confirmation that the sellers are getting “exhausted” and that the buyers are coming back in. The oversold stochastics is an important indicator, but until the MACD intensity diminishes, the stock could continue to fall.

Here is my annotated chart:

Any good news could really send this one soaring.  I recommend that traders watch this one and keep it on the radar.  Technology-wise, RZ appears to be a “good horse to back”.  If they can get some financing for general operations and if the Evergreen deal comes through, this could be a HUGE winner.

Lots of variables, though…..

Good luck and good trading,

There is already a huge industry in America built around converting biomass into biofuel. Most of that conversion involves sugar, corn and corn kernel starch.  These readily available feed stocks seemed to be the perfect solution as a replacement of hydrocarbon-based fuels.  What planners didn’t realize is that corn and grain prices worldwide would skyrocket as biofuels were competing with food producers and growers for a finite amount of feed. What is needed is the next generation of biofuels that don’t rely upon scarce supplies of a pricey commodity.

That is where Raven Biofuels Corporation (RVBF) comes in!

I did a screen for small cap stocks on a losing streak of over 7 days and came up with several Junior Gold stocks:  Golden Star Resources, LTD (GSS) and Apollo Gold Corporation (AGT).  One is a company that I would suggest putting on the radar and the other is one that I be very cautious with.

Part of the reason that these companies are here is because of the slide in the price of Gold.  Once gold resumes its upwards momentum, stocks like these could become supercharged

Be careful with  Apollo Gold

Apollo Gold is a junior miner that is increasing revenues incrementally, but not making any money while doing it.  Their losses, through 3 quarters, is almost $38MM.  I realize that a great percentage of that are paper losses from writedown of assets in 2009.  Then, the theory goes, if they have a strong balance sheet things should be o.k.  Unfortunately, they don’t have a strong balance sheet.  They have lousy liquidity ratios and  long-term debt that is due and payable and has been accelerated.  Things are so bad that the company has put its 50% interest in the Montana Tunnels Mine property up for sale.

Here is the chart with my annotations:

I would never suggest holding AGT long-term, but you can play the volatility.  This is not a stock for the faint of heart.

A Golden Star?

Like AGT, GSS can show a steady climb since December of 2008 when it was trading for only 50 cents.  GSS is significantly larger than AGT and could book over $350MM in sales for 2009.  However, they are showing losses quarter over quarter, too.  Their balance sheet is not pristine, either.  Their ratios are better, but GSS has taken on a great deal of debt.  The company is trumpeting the fact that 2009 was their best year ever, but they need to continue to increase revenues and get a handle on expenses for the investing public to be convinced.

GSS should be watched to see if it continues to decline and touches the next support level.  I don’t think it will. Seller exhaustion may have set in and prices could rise.

Both companies, I can only imagine, are hoping and praying that Gold prices come back.  And, it is not like gold prices have crashed, either. The spot price at 10:33 a.m today as I was writing this was $1,098.55.  But, in the mind of traders and investors, gold prices are “DOWN”.

Both are good radar stocks and could run on news specific to the company or about gold in general.

Good luck and good trading,

Jeffrey Dean

China did not have a good week last week.  The overall market stunk and China really got hammered.  One of those stocks getting hammered was GC China Turbine Corporation (GCHT).

However, GCHT didn’t stay hammered.  It rallied strongly the last two days of last week, but it still at an attractive entry point (IMO).

GCHT is a licensee and manufacturer of a proprietary two-bladed wind turbine.  Their initial product is a 1 MW turbine that has been a “hot-seller” for the company (according to the company that is).  It is much different that last week’s wind power blog topic, Helix Wind (HLXW).  GCHT is doing utility grade turbines that are being purchased by utilities and regional governments in China.

What is exciting about GCHT is not contained in its historical financials….it is in their press releases. The company didn’t deliver its first turbine until the 4th Q of 2009, but they are on an accelerated pace.  They are estimating revenues and profits of $19.6 MM and $1.5MM respectively.  That is after ZERO revenues the previous 3 Q’s.  The release (read it HERE) goes on to state GCHT is forecasting initial orders of 160 wind turbines, worth in excess of US$135 million and a 2010 revenue forecast of $87MM. The release went on to state that the product line will expand with the addition of $2.5MW and 3.0MW wind turbines.

Here is the chart so you can see what I am talking about:

GCHT is at a crucial juncture…If it can penetrate resistance at around $2.90 and hold above there, I could see it running and retesting the 52-week high of $4.07.  The news is certainly positive for the company and it appears to be heading in the right direction.

Good luck and good trading,

I search high and low for stocks of interest to share with my readers and some days I don’t blog because I don’t find any.  This week is a case in point.  I didn’t find any likely companies until this morning when I came across Oil Sands Quest, Inc. (BQI).

BQI is engaged in aggressively exploring Canada’s largest contiguous oil sands land holding, which is located in northeast Alberta and northwest Saskatchewan.

This is a pure speculative play on an oil and gas exploration company that hasn’t made “dollar one” yet and has had losses for as far back as I can go.  What they do have is some interesting properties with MASSIVE potential (according to the company) AND the amazing ability to raise capital seemingly at will.

The company just announced another successful private placement that raised $10.2 Million at a price of $1.05 per share.  That is on the heels of 2009’s raise of $29.8 Million @ 83 cents per share.  So, I see a oil and gas company that can raise money when it wants and at successively higher valuations. My experience is that the reverse is usually true for exploration companies.  That is a huge vote of confidence for BQI.

What is also compelling are their estimates of the reserves that are contained in the over 1.2 Million acres that they own or lease in the Alberta and Saskatchewan Provinces.  In a report issued in late 2009, the company’s high estimate for its Axe Lake, Raven Ridge and Eagles Nest properties was in excess 19 Million barrels (P90 and P50).   That is a lot of oil.

The chart is also compelling….see the annotations below

With cash in the bank of over $46 Million and no long term debt, it appears that BQI has the financial wherewithal to make their dreams a reality.   Investors seem to be buying their story and I am pretty convinced too.

Good luck and good trading

Jeffrey Dean

Today’s alert company is “mission-driven”.  Here is the mission that they are on:

Today’s alert company is: Biopack Environmental Solutions Inc. (BPAC).  And, it is a global leader in what is expected to be a $170 BILLION industry by 2014 - The “Sustainable Packaging Industry”.

Reading a chart is sometimes like telling fortunes by reading tea leaves.  You may have a rare insight into a person or a situation by reading the leaves….or, you could just be full of crap!

I don’t think I am full of “it” when I recommend my members take a look at Microvision, Inc. (MVIS).  As recently as two months ago, the company’s stock hit a 52-week high of $5.75.  The stock couldn’t maintain its momentum and began to give most of the gain back and then recently announced a discounted equity offering that “finished ‘em off”.  It is a good thing to raise capital, but MVIS set the price for the stock with an offering priced at $3.00 (all to one institutional investor, by the way) and that predictably drove the price to that level.  It has recovered slightly, but still hovers around $3.19 as of Friday.

MVIS, especially with the latest capital raise, will have a strong balance sheet.  Even before this raise, the balance sheet was in good shape:  Good ratios, little or no debt, cash-in-the-bank, etc…  However, they are going to need every dollar with the burn rate that they are experiencing.  Great technology, but markets are only just beginning to be tapped and they are still in a big R & D push.

MVIS, the company, offers a technology platform that enables next generation display and imaging products.  Their main markets are displays in vehicles, projectors, wearable displays and bar code scanners.  I recommend that traders check out the MVIS Website. They have some cool technology that they think will be the standard in the years to come.

I also like the chart. The stock has taken its beating with the bad news (to traders) about the capital raise and the technical indicators are looking more favorable.

MVIS is a good radar stock, IMO.  The stock should be avoided for any break below the $3.05 range, but I don’t believe that it will break down.  The fact that an institutional investor is willing to pony up $9.3 MM for stock in a company that doesn’t make a profit, but has nice technology (and 115 patents at last count), is pretty impressive.

Long term this might be a good stock to own, but since I live in the short-term world….look for a ‘pop” in the near term.

Do your due diligence, but I like what I see with MVIS

Good luck and good trading
