Year: [All] - [2008] - [2007]

July 2008

July 18, 2008 : Natural Health Care

June 2008

June 22, 2008 : Friday's Meltdown and Special Announcement
Special Announcement: Limited Service Until July 1st It's time for a little vacation. Normally, when I take a trip, it's somewhere there's an internet connection and I keep up to date on my notebook computer. Next week I won't have that option. I'll be out of touch with the electronic world temporarily...

May 2008

May 13, 2008 : OTCJ: eFood Update: Moderate Sales Growth with Buckets of IP
eFood Update: IP Plentiful- Sales "Moderate" After reading today's rather comprehensive update from eFoodSafety, one word popped into my head- Truthful- this is probably a darn good 25,000 foot view of where the company is in the process of commercializing it's IP (Intellectual Property) portfolio...

March 2008

March 06, 2008 : eFoodSafety: The Winds Of Change Are About To Howl
eFoodSafety (OTC BB: EFSF): The Winds Of Change Are About To Howl I cover a number of situations in the OTC Journal, but the one I get most questions, observations, whining, and complaining about is eFoodSafety. It's probably because of the unmet expectations in 2007. Whether the company was too optimistic...

February 2008

February 17, 2008 : Two Bear Market Trades For Right Now
Two Bear Market Trades For Right Now Can you make money on the long side in a Bear Market? Sure, but you have to change your approach. In a Bull Market, you can buy momentum stocks for a trade. Another words, if a stock is going up, you can buy it, as it will often keep going up- sometimes for many...

November 2007

November 20, 2007 : eFoodSafety Takes on MRSA Staph
Special Announcement: The OTC Journal's Web Site Will Be Down for maintenance over the Thanksgiving Weekend. You will not see images in your past editions. If you want to visit the site, you won't be able to get it to come up. It will be back up prior to the resumption of trading on the 26th. Also...
November 06, 2007 : eFoodSatfety's Immune Bar To Be Found Everywhere
Special Announcement: The OTC Journal web site will be down for routine maintenance tomorrow and Thursday. It should be functioning normally by the weekend. eFoodSatfety (OTC BB: EFSF): Trying to Earn Your Respect Maybe this company is not moving foward fast as you would like, but EFSF is trying to...

October 2007

October 29, 2007 : eFoodSafety: Ending the Silence With Style
Correction from Weekend Edition - My new price target for Apple Computer (NASDAQ: AAPL) is now $225 - not $125 which was a typo I didn't catch. eFoodSafety (OTC BB: EFSF): Ending The Silence With Style They say silence can be deafening, and anyone listening to EFSF for the past four months has completely...

September 2007

September 18, 2007 : It'a Go Time; Nighthawk and eFoodSafety in the News
A Reminder- The Priceless Half Hour It's a light bulb moment. By the way, it's a little hypocritical of me to put up an image of an incandescent light bulb to use as a metaphor for a new and exciting idea. For those of you who have been following my ideas, you know I am a strong advocate of Cree (NASDAQ...

August 2007

August 14, 2007 : eFoodSafety in Rite Aid; Nighthawk Numbers Strong
Normally, I like to provide a feature edition on a company, one company at a time. However, there was great news out of my two favorite penny stocks this morning, so I was forced to combine the two news events into one edition. Today's news clearly demonstrates both of these ideas are delivering growth...

July 2007

July 11, 2007 : Carmen Electra Endorses EFSF's PurEffect: Beautiful
eFoodsafety (OTC BB: EFSF): PurEffect is Pure Beauty For Shareholders Remember PurEffect? eFoodSafety's answer to Pro Active. You're going to love what has finally happened with this product- Well, you're going to love it if you own the stock. If you don't, you're going to wish you did before today...

June 2007

June 28, 2007 : eFoodSafety: Just When You Least Expect It!!
eFoodSafety (OTC BB: EFSF): Just When You Least Expect It!! So typical of this time of year. When the good news out of EFSF hit the tape this morning, I was traveling and couldn't get out my coverage until long after the market closed. This is the time of year I usually write editions musing about stocks...
June 02, 2007 : Do You Still Love Me Now?
Comments in the BLOG There was only one new BLOG for your review this past week. I had to publish more commentary on the continuing sell off in Commerce Planet (OTC BB: CPNE). Technically, as far as I am concerned, all levels of resistance have now given way, and there is no longer any telling where...

May 2007

May 01, 2007 : eFoodSafety: Takes the B Out of Boredom
eFoodSafety (OTC BB: EFSF): Takes the B Out of Boredom OK stocks- time to wake up from your two month nap. Haven't seen much of the OTC Journal lately? There's a reason for that- not much to report. For some reason, we seem to have entered some sort of news vacuum on the current followings. NIHK running...

March 2007

March 26, 2007 : eFoodSafety: Cinnergen Distribution Blazing Trail For Other Products
Important Notice: I am becoming more enamored with the idea of looking for dividend situations in the microcap world. The Bad Toys spin off of Southland Health Services- albeit taking a long time- looks very promising. There is a lot going on behind the scenes- it is all adding up to a strong comfort...
March 21, 2007 : eFoodSafety: Zero Sum Game This Week
eFoodSafety (OTC BB: EFSF): Zero Sum Game This Week eFoodSafety provided a little excitement this week with two events that really couldn't have been more opposite. The company put out 3rd quarter numbers Monday after the close. They have an unusual fiscal year, and the quarter covered November and...
March 07, 2007 : Cinnergen in WalMart
Cinnergen In WalMart The product you see pictured here is carrying EFSF for the time being, and I like the way things are shaping up. Today, just as the market opened, EFSF announced it will be shipping the product to 500 of the 3800 WalMart locations, with the remainder to begin receiving shipments...

February 2007

February 15, 2007 : The Planet Descends While eFoodSafety Surges
The Party Takes A Turn For the Worst- The Planet Descends The stock and the company that could do no wrong has finally given investors something to think about and come back to earth a little. If you are concerned about the news that has come out of Commerce Planet over the past couple of days, you...
February 10, 2007 : Drinking the Kool-Aid: Musings of a Grizzled Microcap Vet
Comments in the BLOG The BLOG is chock full of new entries over the last 48 hours. Readers have been asking for updates on NIHK, EFSF, CPNE, PNWIF, and USEI. I complied on all of the above, and posted new thoughts- fresh starting Thursday. We are having a great time with several of these ideas, and...

January 2007

January 23, 2007 : eFoodSafety Defies Gravity: Introduces Cholesterol Product
Comments in the BLOG In light of the recent big moves in some of the stocks the OTC Journal is covering, I have updated most of the price targets, and more importantly, the SSLs (suggested stop losses). We are in a hot market right now, but don't forget last summer when the microcap world got clobbered...
January 18, 2007 : eFoodSafety: Cinnergen Sales Rocketing
Comments in the BLOG I have some 411 on why PNWIF is climbing the charts so rapidly- to be disclosed in the weekend edition. The stock is closing in rapidly on my short term target price of $4 (122% return from September 23rd when I introduced the company), but there are those who believe this stock...
January 10, 2007 : eFoodSafety: Moving From Millions To Tens of Millions
Here's the definition of a good penny stock trade. Find a microcap company that has been quiet of late. Take a look at the company's products and potential. Look for catalytic events that could get the stock moving up the charts. If you like the story, accumulate the stock at the low end of its trading...

It was a pretty ho hum day. The day started out reasonably strong as B of A came out and announced much lower write downs than the market had anticipated. Financials were up early, and carried the market a bit higher. The larger financial institutions are not doing as badly as the market would have [...]

I know there hasn’t been a lot to chew on out of EFSF of late. I have been briefed on developments at the company. The DR program is being fine tuned, and they will be back out there soon with a bigger commitment. There was an article that appeared in a recent edition of Equities Magazine. [...]

Oil, oil, oil, oil. Huge bank rally today along with the first decent up day in the larger markets in the last month. The S&P 500 has dropped 220 points and the DOW has dropped 2,000 points since we’ve had a decent up day like this. One decent day in the larger market does not make [...]

Oil and Platina- Should They Correct Together? The market is improving nicely as oil starts a corrective phase after one of the most prolific parabolic runs in the history of markets. Oil peaked at nearly $150, and closed at about $124 today- so much for the idea that the price of oil was simply a function...

Comments in the BLOG For all of you who were following the trading strategy I laid out in last weekend's edition for shorting large caps into earnings releases, you probably have figured out by now that I have pretty much abandoned that idea. The Daily BLOGs have contained no short term trading ideas...

Michigan represents the 14th state for Spicy Pickle. The Michigan franchisee has committed to opening 10 stores in the Kalamazoo- Grand Rapids- Ann Arbor...
