Diomed (Amex: DIO) On Good Morning America

Diomed, which is our current profile, traded to a high of $9 on Monday, but has since dropped back into the low $6 range. This week's pullback was initiated by a hatchet job article published about the company in Monday's NY Post which we covered in last Monday's edition.

The stock is rumored to have been targeted by a very powerful group of short sellers who are known for their aggressive smear campaigns. If this is true, we are anticipating more negative press on the company in high profile media. However, this press will not be focused on the company itself. The media will use rumor, innuendo, and names associated with the structuring of the deal to make the company look bad and try to scare investors into selling the stock to the benefit of short sellers.

Barron's might be a likely suspect for this type of yellow journalism. This weekly publication is well know in inner circles as a shill for short sellers, and some of their content is likened to the National Enquirer of the stock market by investment professionals. However, it should be noted that the bulk of the magazine is highly informative and has valuable information for investors.

They will not cover the business of the company itself. They will not mention some of the company's high profile investors which include Richard Branson via his personal money manager, Jack Rivkin of CitiGroup, billionaire financier Sam Belzberg, Bob Lessin of Witt Soundview, Matthew Bronfman of the Bronfman family, and high profile attorney Alan Dershowitz. These names are fully disclosed in the 8K filing with the SEC the company filed in conjunction with the reverse merger.

These and many others have put their own capital into the company. This does not guarantee the company will be successful, but it certainly lends credibility to the potential for Diomed's business model.

If the possibility of a short seller driven smear campaign frightens you, sell the stock and get out. Savvy investors will choose to wait it out, and will probably pounce on the stock in the event some article or news report with no substance drives the stock down artificially low levels. In the interim, we will continue reporting events and facts about the company, and remain convinced their business model has enormous upside potential.

If this sort of press does develop, we predict the stock will make its all time low just after the event. This will be a heaven sent opportunity for investors who are thinking of establishing their initial position, or those who wish to add to their existing holdings. Keep a clear head, study the facts, and remember how much money investors made who bought airline stocks on September 21, 2001 when the media had us believing the industry was about to go out of business.

The facts about Diomed can be obtained from documents filed with the SEC. If you are a serious investor you should read the company's February 14th 8K filing associated with their merger into a public shell. This is an enormous document and fully discloses everything you would want to know. You can access it through www.freeedgar.com, or click here and wait for it to open.
 

EVLT Featured on Good Morning America

Diomed's lasers and fiber are used in two separate FDA Approved therapies: PDT for cancer and EVLT for varicose veins. Investor interest in Diomed at this early stage is driven in large part by the market's perception of the enormous commercial potential for their EVLT therapy, a revolutionary new way to treat varicose veins.

In fact, interest is so high on EVLT that Good Morning America ran a special feature on this exciting new therapy one year ago when it was in clinical trials with the FDA. We have had many requests for the video of that feature, and we bring it to you today. It will play best on your computer through the Windows Media Player, so we have included a link to download this player if you do not have it installed.

Dupont Direct Holdings (OTC BB: DIRX) Hits Milestone

We published a Trading Alert on Dupont Direct back on January 4th. The stock opened the following day at $1.39, much higher than our suggested $1 limit for a short term trade.

Dupont Direct is a boutique brokerage firm which specializes in managing fixed income portfolios for large institutions. They have developed highly creative strategies for enhancing bond yields, and the company is profitable and growing rapidly.

In the December quarter the company had earnings of $.03 per share fully diluted, which means they are at an annual run rate of $.12 per share in earnings.

Yesterday the company issued a press release indicating their growth continues at an unprecedented pace. The company hit the milestone of having $100 million under management, up from $65 million just two months ago. 

One can reasonably expect earnings growth to accelerate from here. With the stock trading in the $.80 range, we still believe it could see the $2 mark if the investment community ever finds out about the company. Click Here to read yesterday's press release.
