To OTC Journal Members:
 

Trading Alerts- New Feature Being Introduced Next Week

We are introducing a new feature next week. Special Trading Alerts are being introduced in response to what our members have been asking for. We may issue two trading alerts next week. We will try to give you all one day's notice so that you can be ready.

The editors of the OTC Journal have been involved with the small and microcap world for many years. Over the course of time we have all developed many friends and associates in this area of the market. We have an infinite supply of ideas to share, but very few of the companies we review spark our interest enough to issue a profile and then follow the company for a full year.

However, we are constantly presented with ideas that lead to a short term price surge in a stock. From the mail we receive we know that our members are interested in these types of ideas. Many investors have an extremely short time line.

Our mission at the OTC Journal is to find money making ideas. For large cap stocks we have our partnership with The SwingWire (www.swingwire.com). For long term investors we have our profiled companies, all of which we cover for at least one year. On the profiled companies we are looking for major home runs over the long term.

Trading Alerts will be published on small and microcap stocks. They could come out at any time. Whenever we publish a Trading Alert it will be on a stock which we feel will trade up over the next one to three days based on some coming event or current characteristic of the way the stock is trading.

There are over 4,000 small and micro cap stocks. On any day one of those stocks is bound to be breaking out. How do you find out which one it is? We will try to find it for you using our vast contacts and resources.

Here are some rules for our new trading alerts feature:

• We will issue a Trading Alert when we feel a small or microcap stock is poised for a surge in both price and volume over the next one to three days, and we will give you the reason we believe it will surge.
• We will provide a two or three paragraph overview of the company's business.
• We will not provide any follow up coverage on the company unless there are substantive news releases to share.
• If you cannot pick up the stock fairly close to the previous day's close caution should be used. Never purchase a stock if it gaps up significantly from the previous day's close.
• Always set a stop loss on these situations in the event that we are wrong, and we will be wrong occassionally. Where you set the stop loss is your choice. Many investors like to use 6% or 10%. Determine the amount of capital you are prepared to risk on the trade and sell the stock if it drops to that level. Your risk tolerance is a personal decision, and it is different for every investor.
• Don't be afraid to take profits. Short term tops are signalled when the stock continues to trade high volume with no further price appreciation. This can be a good time to lock in profits. Many investors like to sell part of their position when a stock surges, holding the rest in the event the stock goes higher. You can also raise your stop loss as the stock appreciates.
• If you decide to hold the stock for the longer term you are on your own. We will not continue coverage or provide updates as we do with our profiled companies.

Weekly Update on the SwingWire (www.swingwire.com)

The SwingWire is a 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. 

The SwingWire Community is becoming a excellent resource for trading ideas. As the community grows and more market followers become Cyber Analsyts the idea flow is more prolific everyday.

One current Wall Street investment theme has been fuel cell companies. With the price of oil sky high and electricity costs soaring, alternative fuel source companies have been red hot recently.

One Cyberanalyst known as fcguy (we assume this stands for Fuel Cell Guy) has risen to the top of the performance list using this theme. A quick review of his track record reveals the following:

• On 9/6 he picked up HPOW at $19.31 and sold it on 9/8 at $22.06.
• ON 8/24 he picked up BLDP at $97 and sold it on 9/1 at $100.50.
• ON 8/24 he picked up IMCO at $23 and sold it on 9/1 at $26.31.
• On 8/24 he picked up FCEL at $95 and sold it on 9/1 at $120.38.
• On 8/23 he picked up MHTX at $2.75 and sold it on 9/1 at $4.41.

You need to sign up for a 30 day free trial and begin spending some time at the site. The site has a tremendous amount of robust functionality and it will take you some time to learn it all. From there you should begin using ideas you are comfortable with. 

If you believe you are a good stock picker you should become a Cyber Analyst. Special notice to members that have been sending us ideas for the last two years- Here is your opportunity to show what you can do. 

Once the community converts to paid subscriptions you will begin collecting a monthly check based on your performance and the traffic in your trading space. 

We will be providing weekly ideas on how to best use the site, and featuring ideas from the top performing Cyber Analysts.
