Comments in the BLOG

I have been traveling quite a bit lately, and have fallen behind on important events that require coverage. Starting this week I plan to have a year end update on every current following in the OTC Journal before Christmas.

There are two new BLOG postings since yesterday morning. First is an update on UpSnap (OTC BB: UPSN) entitled "Anatomy of a Failed Trade". This trading idea from weekend before last turned disastrous at the end of last week. There is a lesson to be learned from such events, and the BLOG spells it out. That is the end for UpSnap. Secondly, I posted a BLOG this AM on Commerce Planet (OTC BB: CPNE). The company posted its most telling news release since the Q3 numbers came out this AM, and for those who are interested in the stock it is a must read.

The BLOG is your opportunity to ask questions and offer comments. I will make an effort to answer every legitimate question. If I don't know the answer, I will contact the management and get the answer. Alternatively, if you have questions you don't want publicly displayed, you can always email me directly at editor@otcjournal.com.

To use the BLOG, simply go to the home page at www.otcjournal.com - the BLOG is on the right hand menu bar. The most current journal entries appear in the middle of your screen. Check back frequently for updates particularly when stocks are moving to overbought or oversold levels in volatile markets.

Titanium Group (OTC BB: TTNUF): Volume Explosion Not Equating To Gains- Yet

There was a breathtaking volume explosion in Titanium Group yesterday, and it's the most interesting event of the week so far. I'm not sure who all of a sudden decided to participate in TTNUF, but volume was certainly impressive.

Here's the good news: TTNUF traded 1.1 million shares yesterday and traded to a new two month high of $.62. That's about 10 times the average daily volume. Here's the bad news- as the volume came in and the stock traded up, sellers appeared and the stock traded back down pretty much to where is started the day, which is about $.12 below where I started covering the stock.

Someone all of a sudden seems to want this stock. It's not surprising. The company is being showered with positive accolades, and there is enormous upside associated with the possibility the company could become intimately involved with the security systems at the 2008 summer Olympic games in Beijing.

A couple of events have put this company in the spotlight this week. First, yesterday's announcement. TTNUF announced it had picked up a distributor for its facial recognition software products in Turkey. Can there be any doubt globalization is here, and it's now.

Consider the following vs our thinking as investors 20 years ago. A China/Hong Kong based facial recognition software company has installations in banks, factories, and borders all over the Far East. They announce their product will be sold in Turkey. The stock trades 10 times normal volume in the US on the OTC Bulletin Board. Now- that's the definition of globalization. We have the ability to speculate on growth anywhere in the world. We can go with our speculative investment dollars wherever the growth takes us, without leaving our own markets.

This morning, just before the market opened, TTNUF announced it had been named to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 in all of the Asia Pacific Region. Based on its annual growth rate over the past three years, TTNUF was included on this list within the fastest growing region world wide.

At about 9 AM Pacific time, the stock has already traded 230,000 shares- 2.3 times normal volume, and there are 4 more hours to go in the trading day.

Here's another absolutely remarkable fact about yesterday's trading, and you don't see it very often. This stock appears to be trying to break out of its multi month trading range. I'm not sure whether it will be up or down. If you base your prediction on growth, you would assume it will break to the upside.

You always like to see a pattern of higher highs and higher lows. Yesterday, the stock followed that pattern. Here's what's unusual- the stock made a higher high and a higher low all on the same day. I guess it was commensurate with the volume.

This is a very tough call short term. I can't say what it will do in the near term- however, I can say I believe this company will be a much better company one year from today with higher sales, greater geographic distribution, and high profile contracts.

Due to the increased volatility I will move the SSL to $.40- I believe this stock should be accumulated for long term investors anytime it is near the blue uptrend line, which happens to be right now. I don't believe there is a short term trading opportunity here, but that could change if the stock can close higher for two or three days in a row.
