Eye Opening Market Info |

Want to read something amazing about
this current relentless move up in the large cap stocks? The S&P 500
has closed above its 21-day moving average for 69 consecutive sessions
and above its 10-day moving average for 25 consecutive sessions.
Going back to 1962, the SPX has achieved this condition only twice (Feb.
1963 and March 1964). Going back to 1915, the Dow has achieved this same
condition only once, in March 1964. These conditions were never achieved
in the huge bull market of the 1990's.
In every case, the rallies were eventually
followed by some sort either correction or extended period of sideways
trading. After the corrective phase ran its course, in each case the market
powered much higher.
We have arrived at a bit of a stalemate.
Big hedge fund money is flowing into large caps as they have the momentum
for the time being. Retail investors are coming back to the market in droves-
after all energy and commodity stocks are now dead after a three year run
and real estate flipping, the darling of individual investors over the
last five years is dead now as well. The micros traded great in August
and September (against the seasonal trends), and have since entered a corrective
phase.
Once the large caps have become extended
watch for money to flow down into the small and microcap sector. After
five years of what has really been sideways trading, I expect 2007 to be
a blockbuster year in the markets- the stock market is due to become the
investment vehicle of choice once again. Hold the good ones into 2007 and
sell the losers now.

PhotoChannel
(OTC BB: PHCHF) Announces Predicted Reverse Split |
|
As I predicted several times during
the course of coverage, Photochannel will effect a 10 for 1 reverse
split. The stock will begin trading post reverse split tomorrow at the
open.
Here's what it means to you. If you
currently own 10,000 shares, at the open tomorrow you will only own 1,000
shares, and the stock will be trading at about 10 times today's closing
price.
The company is doing this for several
reasons. In short- it is time. The capital structure over 10 years of struggle
had ended with 300 million shares I&O. That is a good place to be for
a development stage company where individual investors are prepared to
take a risk on a low priced stock. However, the company is rapidly moving
into commercial success and a high growth phase, and it is time for the
stock to be looked at my another level of investors. Many fund managers
are excluded from trading in $.20 stocks, but can participate in $2 stocks.
Don't forget- this company has both a US and Canadian audience. The stock
will trade in Canada under a new symbol: PN on the TSX.
I tend to view many reverse splits
as negatives for the stock price. When small companies come up against
many years of failure, they often continue issuing shares ad nauseum to
fund their failure. A reverse split can reset the bar so they can do it
all over again.
Then there's the occasional company
that is done polluting its capital structure and starts making money. PhotoChannel
is one. They are done raising money and are turning cash flow positive.
The deal with CVS over this past summer was the catalytic event
that got this stock moving up the charts and generating positive cash flow
for the first time in its history.
And, speaking of CVS (NYSE: CVS),
did you see today's news? CVS is planning to enter into a share exchange
to acquire Caremark (NYSE: CMX). It is being described as a "merger of
equals". The CVS management team will run the combined companies.
Caremark is in the prescription
business, but does sell medications through a network of third-party retail
pharmacies. This could be another avenue of expansion for Photochannel
as the company is already managing the photo finishing online ordering
for over 5,000 CVS pharmacies.
My original forecast remains intact.
Just move the decimal to the left one space. Look for this $2 plus stock
to trade into the $4 to $6 range over the coming months.
Potential catalytic events: revelations
of substantial growth in both the top line and bottom line, and new relationships
with other large retail chains looking to implement an "internet to retail"
strategy for digital photo finishing. |

New Idea Titan Global (OTC BB: TTGL) Off
To a Roaring Start
|
This past weekend's new idea was
Titan
Global. If you acted early Monday morning you have already been rewarded
with a 20% move. The stock opened Monday morning at $.82, and remained
between $.82 and $.85 for the first two hours of the trading day.
By mid day Tuesday the stock powered
up and touched off $1- leading to a very early return of 21% overnight.
Despite the history of losses, investors
warmed up to the annual revenue run rate of $116 million vs a $35.6 million
market value. If they can achieve the forecast results from Friday's news
release and effect a turn to profitability, this stock should trade at
least to $3 in any sort of efficient market.
Here's the rub: this company has
a bizarre fiscal year- the end of August. Therefore, we will see year end
numbers around the end of November, and we won't see their first quarterly
numbers under the new model until mid January. Until then, the market will
simply have to give them the benefit of the doubt for the stock to power
higher.
On Thursday CEO Bryan Chance will
host a conference call to provide investors with more information. He will
cover how the company is going to evolve its business model to deliver
$17 million in EBITDA profits on $140 million in sales over the coming
year.
This one is all about the numbers.
If they deliver, this could be huge. Listen in and decide for yourself
if the management can deliver. The call will be at 12:00 Eastern, 9:00
Pacific. Simply dial 877-209-9921 and tell the operator to connect you
to the Titan Global Conference call. Chance will take questions from
investors.
