3SOF

The drop was due to lower than expected earnings.....three deals thought to be included in the 1Q were not because of various silly delays.  They will instead be included in the 2nd Q.

This has nothing to do with the abilities of the co, just crappy timing.  It happens.

That is why you do not hold through earnings.

FOUS wrote to sell at 5 - and he was right!!!  He the man!

However, I would not hesitate to buy this baby back.

They have $62 mil in cash and 0 debt.

They just bought a pellet making co for their animal food biz.

The potential of this company is massive!  I can see a lot better days down the line.

Current price is $3.75 - I think it will be back to $5 soon.

Or my name isn't Snowcat!

Time to dust this one off again.  Oil service companies are hot right now - look how AMEX stock BTJ is doing.  ENG had some great earnings and a couple big volume moves in the past few days.  If you think at over $3 a gallon for gas, oil companies are not going to do some major drilling and pumping, you are wrong-o!

ENG is one of the best companies under $10.  Get it while its hot.

The other one I like is GLBL!

I guess it is time to dig this one up again.  It had a great move crushing 15 on Friday.  The future looks bright for this one.  Thinking green is the thought of the moment. 

It does look like it is channel surfing.  I still think it is one of the best buys on the market right now and the word is still not out.  I thought the deal with ADM (which I predicted) would get more airplay.  The stock jumped 10%, but the articles in Newsweek did not pop up.

The deal with ADM is major credability (but I thought the BRVO/Coke deal was major too- BRVO now down to a nickel).  Maybe now that all the corn in the US is being used for ethanol, they need something to feed the cattle.  Or maybe rice husk can be made into fuel?

Either way, I would look to scoop up more on the next rebound.  I was last in at 3 and am holding tight for now.  It is a long term play.

It is interesting how stocks you could not think of buying 10 years ago would be popular now.  I'm not talking just Solar or Ethanol.  Now investment companies find that they can make money by having people invest in them.  One thing about these companies, having worked for some myself, they make money in good times and bad due to their management fees and also their commissions.  The more $ they make for their clients, the higher their management fees.  This is unlike a GS for instance that makes money from banking, brokerage, consulting, etc. But what if they could get in on their own call options of their own stock - imagine what a boost that would be to the bottom line.  What is really interesting is that the company has good management and a history of consistent returns - so everyone is happy. 

The formula worked for GROW and IAAC - it should work for this.  I was not happy that there was no follow through to Thursday's burst, but I think this company will continue to do well as the bull market procedes north.  How the market perceives this is anyone's guess, mine is that it will be a good pick.   

In the tradition of their "Turkey and Giblets" flavored soda for Thanksgiving, they had a big hit when they offered "Matzo and Brisket" flavored soda for Passover!

This stock is more HANS than Coke.  Coke is a monster and besides , the facination in this company is its small size and potential - based on its clever marketing and innovative flavors.

A small company is adaptable to the market and can try many new things - like putting photos of drinkers on the bottles (the series of potential father's of Anna Nicole Smith's baby sounds like a winner) and using pure sugar are the type of ideas that attract attention from Wall St. and are hip (at least until I found out).

With rising corn prices, it may be economical now for a small co to look into sugar instead of corn syrup, but for Coke, it would have a massive impact on the markets (sugar tariffs make it prohibitively expensive to import enough - and we grow corn, not sugar).

The company looks like it is sticking to its plan.  Gee - I once owned this co at $2 and sold it at $3 - thought I was a genius.  I also think I owned it at $8 and sold it at $5, but I forgot to tell my wife about that time.

In the meantime, the chart and the mo look like they will elevate this company further - and btw, if you are waiting for a base or a pullback, there were not too many on the HANS rocket.

This is no Coke - and hopefully not a Bravo either, but it looks like it is good for a few more points.

In the mold of GROW, this firm is getting a lot of attention on Wall St.  A big move on Thursday and an article in Barrons have brought a lot of attention to this company.

I would not be surprised to see this one at $20.

Beware of the lock-up period ending in June.  The owners got a bunch of shares at $2.50 and they know how to make money!!

Thanks for thinking of me.

But after looking at my trading performance last year, I speculated too much and bought back stocks after I made killings on them and blew away all my profits.

You would not believe how much GIGM, JSDA and BTJ I owned - and most of it I gave away for bupkis!

I did best when I was most patient.  Look at some of the drops GIGM and BTJ took over the past year - only a real confident investor would have held.

Now that I have a job whereby I cannot check the market 10 times a day, I have a feeling I will be more patient.

I am looking for more established companies with earnings and avoiding the ob's and the pink sheets.  This is such a corrupt market place.  For all we know, ICE could be the next ENRON!  They just about do the same thing.

FRPT - who knew there was so much competition out there in that market!  I suggested that they build trucks with explosives already built in them and sell them to the insurgents!

Aside from GIGM, I still own steel stocks, solar stocks, NTRZ and some crap that I'm down 50% on and it likely won't make me feel any better if I sell it.

I have stopped reading stock newsletters and checking out the boards because those are the stocks I have been getting killed with.  Penny stocks are there for a reason and every one I buy has been on bad faith.  Look at BRVO - read the 100's of posts on that one - it seemed like a slam dunk!  Live & learn

I have enough capital losses, that at $3000 a year, it can carry me into the next lifetime.

I still like NTRZ, also VOLC and probably a few others.  I will try to be more active here - but basically, my portfolio has not really changed much.

This year I will try to trade smarter and make you smarter too.

The real institutions, the mutual funds, will not touch this stock until it is $15.  It will get some attention when it is $5.

But who knows - it could be the next BRVO - pulling everyone in with visions of grandeur and then collapsing.

My next rumor is that Coke is going to buy the company and promise to market Rice Bran Cola! (a little BRVO joke there).

Actually the company is very attractive - and I would not be surprised if an ADM or Bunge has its sites on it.  Rice bran is very nutricional and it is likely could replace more expensive ingredience.

Look at the original 3 stocks analysis and the recent Blog analysis - and then compare it with your own numbers and speculation.

And once you see the constructive  value of this stock, look at the destructive value of my other favorite cheapie, MTSX - an electric pulse gun that can fire 1million bullets a minute (hey, now that rice husk is valuable, they have to fight over it)

Sell?

This is the one you should scoop up on every dip.  Raising money is part of doing business and this company is in its infancy.

There is no company like it.  They make food from waste - compare it to buying McDonald's at $3.35 a share.

Don't be penny wise about this company - it is very likely to see $5 soon!  And this is the type of company that magazines love to write about - look at XNL, the company that made ethanol from garbage - it had a great run b4 they found out they will likely never make money - but the story was great.

This is a real product - the rice bran is used regularly in pet foods.  That is their biggest market for now.  And I am sure what Americans feed their pets could be nutricious, gourmet dining in some 3rd world countries.

Buy 1000 shares - if it drops 20%, never listen to the Snowster again.  But look at the numbers (at the beginning of this thread) and you will see the potential in this company!

And while you are at it, take another look at BRVO!

Here is a nice analysis on one of my favorite companies, NTRZ.ob



They make rice bran from the husk of the rice, normally a waste product.  Their raw material costs are nominal and the nutritional value is huge. 



The stock is about $3 and for a patient investor, it could be a good holding.  A double in the next two years would not surprise me.

This was on the penny stock list by FOUS.  - When it was $1.30!  Now it is close to $9!  That is why the smart $ is on the FOUS-man!

I was a great buy then and now!  That Fous comes thru!

OPBL is a trading platform that specializes in trading certain deratives that the big boys like NYMEX want a part of - in fact, NYMEX bought a big chunk of OPBL recently.  And it seems many others want some too.

http://www.3stocksonfire.org/trading/index.php?topic=7229.0

Look back at the old site for great analysis on a promising stock

The stock smashes thru $3!

This is a company that has a proprietary way to take rice husk, the healthiest, but hardest to process WASTE product of rice, the world's most popular food and turn it into rice bran.  They spin gold out of straw.

This is an easy double at this point.  They have big tax credits at this point and their growth potential is huge!  This is a long term hold and will outperform most of the stocks out there.

Pay attention, please.

I don't get headaches - I give them!


Cold weather is hitting NY and I am amazed at how many people would rather "look good" than keep warm.  And "looking good" is debatable in a lot of cases.

The Super Bowl was a dud and I felt sorry for those people who spent $4000 for a ticket and sat in the rain for four hours, but to each his own.

Computer seller SYX made it to #1 on the IBD 100 - usually the kiss of death, but I will enjoy it while I can.

I got into SYX at 16 from a great report by David Randolph from 3 Stocks on Fire.  A fantastic place to look for exciting stocks and the home of some of the top ta guys around.  They also have a premium service from where I picked up SYX, RAD and PCU.

SLP made a nice move today.  They do drug simulations and projections - which is important if a drug company wants to get an idea of how the drug will perform.

I am still hot on GIGM, the Asian internet gaming and gambling company.  The stock recovered from its slump and is in the two hottest places right now.

On that subject, the top ten under $10 features some very attractive stocks - including TSTC which looks like is bound for higher prices.  Check all of the top 10:

Ready for a great chart and an 8% yield?  How about a REIT - NRF - one of the best around.  No junk investments here!

I bailed on FFHL, the Chinese chemical company, though the volume is drying up and it may be looking at a bottom soon.

Also flashlight maker, XNN walloped me.  I held on because I have a small number of shares and it looks like it is finally putting in a base.

A cheapie I like is OPBL.ob.  It is a profitable options trading platform that made a deal with NYMEX to trade certain derivatives.  This gives them a lot of credibility!

Armored car maker, FRPT has not recovered from the news that their 2000 truck order from the military was actually a total order from about 10 different manufacturers.  They might have sold a handful there.  I would watch for a base to form and get back in.  It went up awfully fast and many of those shares sold for +$20 were bought under a buck a year ago.

The market has been pretty high recently and if you are expecting a dip, watch NYX.  The stock has been pumped by CRamer, they missed earnings by a penny, and the lock-up period ends in May.  I think it can be about 10 points lower.

Remember your sell rules and I may dress stupid, but I keep warm! - Eugene
