Stocks To Watch Wednesday - POWN, ETLS, VIPR, WTCG


POWN I can just feel this stock squeezing higher on Wednesday.  The excitement, the momentum, the upside potential is all very palpable.

ETLS closed higher again today.  The stock is slowly trickling higher in a very healthy manner.  With the CEO owning a big slice of the outstanding shares, there simply will not be enough to go around when the attention finally comes to ETLS.

VIPR for new comers to my blog I wrote about VIPR at the end of January.  It looks like I was right, and today's action could be indicative of things to come short term for VIPR.

If I was holding VIPR I may want to wait to see if the buying continues. $.005 is the next target.

WTCG looks to have found some decent support today in the low $.003 range.  I like this stock going forward.  This story stock has just turned its first few pages.  I expect a happy ending.

PSGI - A Sell The News Event

PSGI exhibited perfectly the sell the news phenomena you associate with investing.  When insiders and those tipped off know big news is coming they buy up the stock and sell after the big news hits the wires.

This is precisely what happened to PSGI today.  The retail investor is usually the last in line and the one buying up shares while everyone else is heading for the exits.

POWN - The Penny Stock Guru's Buy and Hold at $.06 Now a 1,000% Gain

The Guru's $1.25 target is getting closer by the day.


THRR - Part II

I have received numerous emails wondering why I questioned THRR, when just yesterday I was calling for the stock to move higher?  I did have THRR on my watchlist yesterday and was calling for gains.  That doesn't equate to an endorsement of the stock.  These Pink Sheet issues are to be traded not held.  I may not like THRR but I knew the money pouring in meant a move higher and I alerted readers to this.

When the company came out with a press release stating $.01 as the buyout price, I felt the need to let the novice and newbie penny stock investor, who frequent my site, know that holding for $.01 will be a fruitless endeavor.  The smart money was selling today after the stock rocketed to $.004.

We trade the penny stocks to make money, not to be left holding the bag after the $.01 buyout offer falls through.  THRR made it clear in their press release today that they do not have to update their shareholders if this supposed deal falls through.  This is exactly what they say:

The Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements.    

Essentially, today's press release of the $.01 buyout may be the last you ever hear from the company on the subject... and there is not a thing you can do about it.

That is why we trade these stocks.  For those of you who made money on THRR congratulations.  People made money on ZVTK, CBAI, EWRC, and the like too.

The bottom line:  When the interest reaches a tipping point it is time to move on to the next one.

Watch and learn.

THRR - Is Anyone Really This Dumb?



Less than two years ago THRR was THRI. Same company, same management, but before a mind-boggling 4,000-1 reverse split screwed over all shareholders at the time. Today the stock has traded over $5,000,000 worth of volume on a press release stating they are accepting an offer for a buyout at $.01 a share. Give me a break.

Who in their right mind would be buying a company with an outstanding share count in the billions, an authorized share count of 10 billion, that had a grand total of $486,000 in assets per its last quarterly UNAUDITED Pink Sheet report? It defies logic. The company lost $422,000 in its last quarter. Carry that over a year and you are looking at a $1.2+ million dollar annual loss. Does that sound like something you'd want to be buying for over a 1,000% premium? Really.... why would they be buying a $.0006 stock for $.01? There seems to be more than enough shares in the market well below that price.

Anyone who believes this story also believed EWRC was being bought out at $.06 a share. Look at where that stock is today.

Considering the company has not updated its share structure on Pink sheets in almost a year, it it is safe to say they are selling shares into the market at an incredible rate. When you've got enough suckers buying into this dream, you might as well squeeze every penny before the game is over. Why let them know how many shares are REALLY in the market? Let them believe the numbers from 2008.

Why is there no mention in the press release of who the idoits ponying up millions for the company are?
Why is someone paying millions of dollars for a company that has only ~$400,000 in assets and is losing over $1.2 million on an annual basis?

Finally look at the trading today. If this was anything more than a pump, the stock would be a heck of a lot closer to $.01. That is why we trade them and never believe these outlandish press releases.

The press release that people bought the stock on is posted below. Remember to read the bottom. That is the most important part. These companies can say virtually whatever they want as they are protected by the Safe Harbor:

Statements contained in this news release, other than those identifying historical facts, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Safe Harbor provisions as contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

ZVTK - Oh No Not You Again


It seems someone turned the lights back on for ZVTK shareholders. The company received, per today's press, a $100,000 order. The stock rose 64% on a very impressive 470 million plus share traded day. A total of almost $2.2 million dollars in stock traded for one $100,000 order that supposedly happened.

My take? Don't be the next ZVTK bag holder, well unless those bags are odorned with these fabulous light bulbs. I was thinking of getting one to clean up after my dog. Maybe they can make a bulb that will take my good ole Fido for a walk too. How about one that can make Aunt Edna's cooking edible? I'd be a buyer of ZVTK stock if they could make that happen.

Just remember, when your buying someone else is selling. I'd expect the selling to pick up in earnest much sooner this time. Once bitten, twice shy.

The Guru called the top at $.016. It was a free fall from that price to $.002. That turned a lot of these bulb believers into bulb bag holders. I suspect there will be less of those this time around.



Don't be the one holding the bag of bulbs when the lights go out.

Here is my article calling the top only a few months back.

http://pennystockgurus.blogspot.com/2009/12/zvtk-dont-be-one-holding-bag-when.html

Here is today's press release that sparked the rally:


Zevotek Announces $100,000 Ionic Bulb Order

NEW YORK, Mar 15, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Zevotek, Inc. (OTCBB:ZVTK) (Frankfurt:T5V1.F), a worldwide direct marketer and distributor of innovative personal and home care items, today announced that the Company received a $100,000 order to buy Ionic Bulbs for delivery in March 2010.

POWN - Making The Guru Look Smarter By The Day


When POWN was trading at $.06 the Guru called out a long term target of $1.25. That is a 2,000% call, funny thing is over 700% of that gain has already occurred. I even amaze myself from time to time.
