Obscure company that has a "disinfectant spray" that is effective against bird flu, news out after todays close and up 41% today so the "news" obviously got out.
Little info as to what you do with the spray, I guess you would spray it on your mask.
Might jump tommorow so it might be worth watching.
Daytrade only with finger on the sell button!!

Linkwell Corporation Addresses Asian Bird Flu Concerns
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Business Editors / Healthcare Editors
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2005--
Linkwell Corporation (OTCBB:LWLL), a leading
manufacturer and distributor of disinfectant products in China, issued
a statement regarding the growing international fears of an Asian bird
flu pandemic. Linkwell recognizes recent claims of suspected bird flu
cases have been reported across Europe and Asia. Furthermore,
according to The Associated Press, The Chinese government reported
that some 2,600 birds have been found dead of the H5N1 strain of bird
flu in northern China's grasslands.
In an effort to clarify a recent company release, Xuelian Bian,
CEO and President of Linkwell, commented, "While our Company cannot
verify the accuracy of recent claims of avian flu, we would like to
qualify an earlier release regarding our new Dian'erkang product line.
Linkwell received approval for nationwide sales of the Dian'erkang
Aerosol Disinfectant in China. Various forms of the Dian'erkang
product line have proven successful in preventing the spread of
airborne viruses such as human influenza virus, SARS and avian flu."
As the Company reported in a release dated October 17, 2005, the
Dian'erkang product line has proven effective both as a deterrent in
the air as well as on solid surfaces. Dian'erkang Aerosol Disinfectant
comes in an easy-to-use application, is pollution-free and
nonpoisonous to the human body.
Xuelian Bian, CEO and President of Linkwell, continued to say,
"Since the announcement, the demand for the product has been
surprising, our Company has been flooded with inquiries about the
product line. In preliminary trials, Dian'erkang Aerosol Disinfectant
received very positive feedback from hospitals and clinics that have
used this product. We now plan to mass market this new product through
supermarkets and drug store chains. We believe the economic benefits
of this product to our company will be tremendous not only now, but
for years to come."
Thanks gmarc,
This company is a press release machine. I watched L2 and coukd see large sells going through every time the pps rose 3 to 4 cents. My guess is insiders selling into the run as they continue to pump it up. 2 insiders have 80% of the shares.
The new release wasn't really much except rehashing old news.
Also saw this research report which was commisioned by Linkwell:
http://biz.yahoo.com/pz/051019/88118.html
I suspect it may gap up in the morning and my plan is to sell another 25% on the first sign of weakness. I will let the rest ride.
I only have time to daytrade a couple times a week so try to be out or ride freeshares when I can't watch on L2.
Looks like you should have done well with WEGI - I watched it today also but missed the train and stayed out.
Good luck with your trades, enjoy your picks. Keep em coming!
If you're familiar with LEBED, this is one of his "promoted" picks. Bought in when I got his email, after seeing the rest of this sector flying. It's nicely offsetting my declines in EYII (which I'm holding onto).
atalltexan,
Thanks for the info, this explains the press release barrage and pump.
When did this email come out?
Good Luck!

He initially released it yesterday, and then updated throughout the day, as well as afterhours this evening.
Thanks atalltexan, this changes things.
I will give this stock some more room to run!!
My plan is to sell 25% more at .94 which is a double from my entry at .47.
If we clear a dollar it may just run on to 1.25 after all.
Thanks for the info-

Here's part of what he said last night, with his reference to a $1.35 target :
Considering that LWLL closed at the high of the day and there is a lot of talk about it on message boards, I believe this momentum will continue for a while.
Remember that the Bird Flu scare is only going to get bigger. After the 2,600 birds that were found dead in China today, there is going to be huge demand for LWLL's new Dian'erkang Aerosol Disinfectant. LWLL already has massive distribution throughout all of China.
Out of all the Bird Flu plays, LWLL is the only one that is generating major revenues and is profitable.
The research report that was released Tuesday about LWLL has a short-term target price of $1.35.
Stopped out at .62 :(
NEWS out...will see in AM how this affects the PPS...might go up again. ;D

Such as the Bird Flu and Human Influenza Virus
FT. LAUDERDALE, FL, Nov 09, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) --
Linkwell Corporation (OTC BB: LWLL), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare related disinfectants in China, today announced that its 90% owned subsidiary Shanghai Likang Disinfectant Company, Limited ("Likang"), received approval from China's Ministry of Public Health for its new series of air disinfecting devices to prevent the spread of airborne viruses such as bird flu virus and human influenza virus. In addition, Likang has received approval from the Shanghai Municipal Food and Drug Supervision Administration for sale of these devices in hospitals.
Airborne viruses often spread among humans through heating and air conditioning systems. In order to prevent the spread of such airborne viruses, air disinfection in air conditioning systems is a critical measure. Likang's "Lvshaxing" series of air sterilizers were specifically designed to prevent the spread of airborne viruses through ventilation systems. This device can effectively kill any virus or bacteria going through ventilation systems.
Linkwell's Chairman and CEO Xuelian Bian stated, "We are very excited about the potential of this new series of air disinfecting devices. Our new disinfecting devices could be used extensively in the heating and air conditioning systems of residential buildings, office buildings, restaurants, and hospitals. The Chinese government recently announced that it will spend $1 billion to fight against a bird-flu pandemic, and we believe the Chinese markets provide vast demand for these new products."

ventilation systems. When used properly, this device can effectively kill
airborne bacteria.

Linkwell Corporation Assumes Management and Operational Control of Gene Diagnostics Company in Beijing
Monday December 18, 8:00 am ET
SHANGHAI, CHINA--(MARKET WIRE)--Dec 18, 2006 -- Linkwell Corporation (OTC BB:LWLL.OB - News), a leading developer, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare-related disinfectants in China, today announced its Chinese subsidiary, Likang Disinfectant High-Tech Company, Limited, has entered into an agreement to assume management and operational control of Zhongke Jinmeihua Biotech Company, Limited ("Jinmeihua"). The contractual arrangements include exclusive sales, consulting, and operating agreements. Additionally, Linkwell has the option to acquire Jinmeihua by December 31, 2007, on the basis of net tangible assets.
Zhongke Jinmeihua, founded in May 2006 as a national certified high-tech enterprise, engages in providing services of gene diagnostics for early detection of human diseases, such as tumors, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and genetic disorders. For more information about Jinmeihua, please visit http://www.zkjmh.com

The Company had unaudited revenues from operations of approximately $750,000 in the quarter ending September 30, 2006, with approximately 15% net profit margin. Under the contractual arrangements, Linkwell will be able to consolidate the financial statements of Zhongke Jinmeihua under the GAAP accounting principles.
A rapidly expanding number of genetic mechanisms contributing to disease can be accessed via molecular analysis. In order to take full advantage of this potential for genetic diagnostics, and to monitor treatment by gene therapy and other emerging methods, a new generation of diagnostic techniques will be required. Of central importance in future analyses is the possibility to perform very large numbers of simultaneous genetic analyses in analytical devices of small linear dimensions. Scientists have developed a new molecular probe design that is amenable to highly multiplex, specific analyses of total genomic DNA or of RNA molecules expressed in tissue samples. Jinmeihua's technology platform is supported by Beijing Gene Research Laboratory of Chinese Academy of Science. With advanced Gene-Sequencing Technology and SNP Genotyping Technology, Beijing Gene Research Laboratory is ranked as one of top molecular genetics laboratories in the world.
Mr. Xuelian Bian, CEO and President of Linkwell Corp., stated, "Gene diagnostics is the cutting edge technology in the latest g advance of molecular genetics. This agreement is an important step in management's objective to broaden its sales offerings and leverage its distribution channels. We will utilize our marketing capabilities to expand Jinmeihua's sales significantly in 2007. By using different resources such as local hospitals, sales networks, professional conferences, management is confident that Linkwell can significantly increase sales for this high margin product category with its current sales team and sees this agreement providing Linkwell with a significant increase in revenue and operating income in 2007 and beyond. We believe this new division will substantially enhance our prospective of triple-digit growth of revenues and earnings for 2006 to 2008."

BERLIN, June 24 (Reuters) - The deadly strain of the bird flu virus has resurfaced in Germany in the bodies of at least three dead birds found in the state of Bavaria, Germany's first confirmed cases this year, officials said on Sunday.
The corpses of several more birds found in the southern state are being analysed to see if they also contain the deadliest strain of the H5N1 virus, a spokeswoman for the Bavarian city of Nuremberg said.
The country's top veterinary laboratory, the Friedrich Loeffler Institute, confirmed that three wild birds -- two swans and a goose -- found in two lakes near Nuremberg had tested positive for the worst strain of the H5N1 virus.
"Over the next few days the city of Nuremberg will be supported by a federal epidemiological team which will scientifically investigate the causes and background of the infection cases," the city of Nuremberg said in a statement.
It said that poultry farmers in the region were required to confine all poultry birds to closed stalls. It added that as of Saturday a 21-day ban had been imposed on bringing poultry birds or products in or out of the area, now a quarantine zone.
City officials also warned cat and dog owners not to allow their pets to roam freely in the quarantine zone.
Germany quickly passed this information on to the European Commission.
"Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 was detected in more than 700 wild birds in the EU in 2006," the Commission said in a statement. It added that the infected swans in Bavaria were the European Union's first cases reported in wild birds in 2007.
DEAD BIRDS
Five other dead birds found near Nuremberg tested positive for the H5N1 virus but it remains unclear whether they have the deadly Asian strain, German officials said.
In addition to the dead swans and goose, the body of at least one wild duck has been confirmed to have some form of the H5N1 virus, Nuremberg city said.
The Friedrich Loeffler Institute is carrying out tests on the animals to determine which H5N1 strain they carried.
Last year, some 13 European Union member states had confirmed cases of bird flu -- Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, Greece, Britain, the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, France and Hungary.
Czech veterinarians started culling several thousand turkeys on a farm last week after tests confirmed the country's first outbreak of a deadly form of bird flu in poultry.
Bird flu has been spreading across southeast Asia, killing two people in Vietnam this month, the first deaths there since 2005.
Globally, the H5N1 virus has killed nearly 200 people out of over 300 known cases, according to the World Health Organisation. None of the victims were from Europe.
Hundreds of millions of birds have died or been slaughtered. (Additional reporting by Holger Hansen in Berlin and Jeff Mason in Brussels)
