Bill Gates Loves StockGroup Information Services (OTC BB: SWEB)

As mentioned in previous editions, we expect many of the beaten down penny stocks with viable business models to begin rising with the tide as sellers become scarcer and buyers resurface.

In early September we brought you Stock Group Information Systems at $.19. Formally a dot-com with an advertising revenue model, this company has completed the successful transformation to an electronic financial information provider, and in the process is finally becoming cash flow positive. Based on current trends and their many high profile customers, we anticipate StockGroup will be able to announce positive earnings in the 1st quarter of next year which will continue building over successive quarters. Current clients include Citi Group, American Express, NY Life, Dupont, and many others.

The support/resistance lines on the chart we have provided suggest the stock is entitled to rebound into the $.27 range, or another words retrace 50% to the most recent high. Many larger cap technology stocks are well on their way to achieving their rebounds, and their baby brothers will not be far behind.

Today, just after the market closed, StockGroup announced they will become a financial content provider for MSN.CA which is Microsoft's Canadian on-line community.

Microsoft is launching a major North American marketing campaign designed to bring new ISP customers to its MSN service. If you watch TV, you have probably seen their butterfly commercials, where the guy falls out of the cocoon hanging in the tree. Microsoft is spending millions promoting this service and is going head to head with AOL for market share.

From here forward, if you are looking for financial information at MSN.CA, it is likely it will be provided by StockGroup.

We may have exaggerated a bit when we said Bill Gates loves StockGroup, but he does make a comment in today's press release. His comment clearly demonstrates the importance of outsourcing services to even the largest companies. Bill Gates says:

'The Stockgroup solution allows us to continue to be a leader by providing our users with the latest up to date financial news, while providing the most cost effective solution,'said Bill Gates, Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect.

This stock has continued trading quietly during the recent market resurgence, but today's press release could help change that. High profile news like this could put this stock directly in the cross hairs of bargain hunters who are looking for stocks which deserve to trade up in an inclining market environment.

We still believe this stock will find its way into the $.30 range which represents an opportunity to make nearly 60% on your money.

Here is the complete text of today's new release for your review:
