finally closed at $3 today on 647,800 shares. The remainder
of this week will be technically critical to the stock. If it can break
the $3 barrier convincingly it will probably go to $3.50 or $4 short term.
If not, we may be stuck in the mud a little longer.
In this edition we are going to introduce
you to a new investing resource that we have helped develop over the last
year. The OTC Journal is all about making money in the stock market.
Our editing team specializes in the micro cap stocks that we cover and
the proven philosophy that goes along with that small area of the market.
However, investing styles are evolving.
Individual investors used to put the bulk of their investment dollars in
mutual funds and take a small percentage of their risk capital for microcap
stocks. This is changing.
Today about 60% of the trades executed
on the NASDAQ are done in individual accounts. Individual investors
are now empowered to dominate where the institutions used to rule. Investors
are taking control of their own portfolios rather than trusting a fund
manager who is handcuffed by the restrictions placed upon him by the rules
of his fund. Only about 20% of fund managers outperform the S&P 500,
and investors know it.
The amount of information and speed
with which it travels are creating a complete paradigm shift for investors.
The 21st Century stock market investor will have so much information at
his finger tips that returns will be stronger than any time in history.
Winners will be easier to identify and losers will be ejected for portfolios
before disasters occur.
Investors are becoming disenchanted
with the traditional Wall Street analysts. Three weeks ago the Internet
specialist, Henry Blodgett of Merrill Lynch made negative comments about
Internet stocks. The irony of this was not lost on the investing public.
Most investors want to know where this guy was at the end of March when
most Internet stocks were trading at exhoribtant values.
One of the most prolific sources
of stock trading ideas can be found on the message boards in the online
financial communities. We study the message boards all the time, and we
can tell you with a great deal of certainty that there are some excellent
stock traders on these boards. By following their ideas, especially in
the short term, there is money to be made.
There was a time when we considered
trying to recruit some of these great stock pickers as editors. About a
year ago we decided to take a different direction. In conjunction with
the best web developers we know, the OTC Journal would like to invite
all of its members in on the ground floor of an exciting new Internet community:
The Swing Wire.
Approximately 350,000 receive the
online stock related newsletters we publish. Within those 350,000 investors
are some great stock pickers. We know this for a fact- occasionally we
get ideas from them that work out.
We featured Infowave Software
(TSE: IW) on a tip from a member in two of our newsletters last October
at $3.80. The stock was $3 two weeks later, and then went to $65 over the
next five months.
The SwingWire
is the premier online investment community which provides a forum for anybody
to become an analyst and submit stock trading ideas for investors. Performance
is tracked with total integrity. Moreover, as an accomplished "Cyber
Analyst" you will be able to get paid for your stock picking performance
by the Swing Wire.
Back in June we rolled out an early
beta version of the site. Last week it was taken down, and the final version
was launched. It is now ready for you to use.
The concept is simple. The Swing
Wire is an open investment forum for anybody to buy and sell stocks
in a virtual portfolio. All trades are priced off real time quotes, and
the system is designed with more integrity than any other site on the Internet
today.
Users of the site can buy and sell
stocks at any time. A track record is created, and other investors can
follow your lead. You can search for the top performing Cyber Analysts
and follow their ideas. Each Cyber Analyst has a trading space where
users can follow everything they do. You can search the site for the best
performing Cyber Analysts.
You can become a Cyber Analyst.
We have certainly received enough ideas from our members over the last
two years. Here is your chance to prove what an outstanding stock picker
you are.
Here is an example. On August 15th
a Cyber Analyst known as Kosmix picked Analog Devices
(NYSE: ADI) at $84. The next day he closed out the position at $90.50
for an excellent one day gain. Had you been following his ideas you
could have duplicated this trade in your own account. You could have
configured the system to automatically notify you by email or instant messaging
when Kosmix was making a trade.
The site has an enormous amount of
functionality and it will take you some time to learn it all. It
is one of the most comprehensive sites we have ever used.
We strongly recommend that you spend
time at the site and get a feel for using it. You will find it a valuable
use of your time, especially if you like short term trading ideas.

How
You Can Make Money |
 |
There are two ways to make money
off the site. The first is to find one or more Cyber Analysts that
provide money making ideas and use them. The site has the ability to notify
you automatically when a trade is made by a CA you follow. The second
is to become a Cyber Analyst, and in the future the Swing
Wire will pay you based on the following you have by virtue of
your superior performance.
At some point in the future you will
be required to pay a nominal monthly fee to access the Swing
Wire. 50% of the monthly fees will be set aside for the Cyber
Analysts. The fees will be divided up based on the amount of traffic
you have on a pro rata basis compared to the rest of the Cyber Analysts
in the community.
