Penny Stock Wizard

Hey there, trader!

Looks like “small” was beautiful today and we hope you won big on today’s alert.

Microelectronics Technology Co. (MELY) found the golden lining in Cloud computing this morning.

Shares jumped from an open of $0.09 all the way to $0.125: that’s an easy 39% winner!

Almost TOO Easy!

All traders had to do is watch the NEWS.

Yes, MELY announced this morning that they found the right data center to run all their “virtual” websites.

PLEASE tell me you’ve watching these sweet ideas!

MELY proved today that trading doesn’t have to be a chore.

There’s been plenty of similar success stories around here — too many to mention.

You really just have to have the right ticker in mind and the guts to push the button.

The market does the rest!

And as for tickers, there’s a couple tempting little stocks with your name on them coming up next week.

Be ready…or you could miss the next MELY!

Moving computers to the “Cloud” is making the tech world go round, and Microelectronics Technology Co. (MELY) is already setting up the silver lining.

MELY hit the Cloud just 2 months ago by buying a company that makes “virtual” websites.

As you can see from the chart, traders initially responded to the news by bidding shares all the way to $0.45.

They probably got more than a little ahead of themselves, but you never know.

On the way back down, MELY has kept spiking as much 65% a day on the right news.

Volume on the big buying days has swelled, so the market is getting more familiar with MELY and hungry for its shares at these levels.

So what does MELY do, exactly?

Its technology was originally built to help Web “landlords” generate big instant traffic…and sell ad space.

Push a button, and suddenly Google’s pushing a stream of people to click around and ring the cash registers.

Now MELY recognized that anyone who could build one fake website could build an entire “cloud” of real ones just as fast.

We could go on and on, but what this boils down to is that the Cloud is a $1 TRILLION business.

That’s right. The Cloud will generate one trillion in the next three years, according to the expert number crunchers at IDC and Microsoft.

Naturally, MELY only wants a tiny piece of that trillion-dollar pie.

After all, this is an 8-cent start-up we’re talking about.

Between the huge revenue in play and the tiny stock price, the math gets magical.

For every 1 MILLIONTH of the Cloud MELY can capture, it boosts its cash flow by $1 million.

That’s a full 10% of current market cap…in one 1/1,000,000 nibble.

Big Cloud companies are already getting fat buyout offers.

DemandForce, for example, just accepted a $423 million deal from Intel.

A little name like MELY would only be a snack on that scale.

As it is, the venture capital smart guys have already kicked in a fresh $2.7 million to get their taste.

With that kind of cash to work with, MELY should be able to get its Cloud servers spinning and start going after customers.

They’re doing it right now.

Watch the Cloud. If MELY makes one of its now-trademark leaps this morning, you may get an up-close look at the sky.

After alerting you on some nice big stocks and earning you some nice easy wins, it’s time to think small again.

Remember the joy of how a little stock can move?

Traders tell themselves it’s only a few cents so they go “big,” risk a few bucks.

When every penny represents a leap of 10%, 20% or more, that’s all it takes to bury the needle.

And before you know it, the candlestick stretches all the way from the market basement into what looks like outer space.

Put enough pennies on that bet, and the action accelerates even faster.

So we dug deep and found an “interesting” situation trading at under 1 dime.

It’s a bit beat up, we admit. There were days when traders thought this baby was worth closer to 500% its current price.

And from the recent spikes scribbled on this chart, it’s evident that at least a few people remember those days.

If you’ve been looking for a small stock to ride, set your alarm clock early!

All the hallmarks of a glorious micro-cap adventure are already waiting for you tomorrow

With beginning and experienced investors alike still feeling the effects of an economic recession, the search is on for a responsible, low-risk way to invest in future assets. Enter the penny stock, defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as any stock currently trading at less than five dollars. Because penny stocks are so cheap, they have the potential to massively multiply an investment if the stock takes off; the price can easily rise by a factor of five, 10 or even more. Following these tips will help you successfully invest in these low-priced stocks.

Choose Your Broker. Many stockbrokers are not especially fond of penny stock trading, so they charge higher commissions for buying and selling cheap stocks. Even for successful investors, these fees can really eat away at profits. Worse yet, if you take a loss, that extra commission could push you right out of the market. Make sure you work with a broker who is willing to help, not hinder.

Be Informed. Although penny stocks are unique in some ways, investing in them is fundamentally no different from investing in more expensive stocks. Take time to learn as much as you can about general stock trading before delving into the specifics of penny stocks. That knowledge will form the foundation of your investment success.

Pick Listed Stocks. Even though they are very cheap, many penny stocks are listed on the NYSE, AMEX or NASDAQ. The major exchanges employ certain financial criteria when deciding which stocks to list, so an investor who chooses listed stocks knows he is investing in companies that are financially sound. Listed stocks are not guaranteed to succeed, nor are unlisted stocks guaranteed to fail; nevertheless, sticking with listed stocks is by far the safer option.

Research Thoroughly. Many investors fail to take basic information such as company earnings when buying stock. It is easy to see shares of stock as abstract quantities, not shares of a real company that does real business somewhere in America. Instead of falling into this trap, look up basic financial information on a company before choosing to buy its stock. Companies with solid revenue streams are more likely to succeed in the market.

Market Trends and Uniqueness. Small businesses that really succeed are usually in some ‘hot’ industry, where many investors are paying attention. In addition, having a unique product or a great story tends to improve a company’s chances of rapid growth. If a company is in a hot industry, brings in solid revenue, and has some unique aspects, its stock is likely to take off in the near future.

Diversify. Because penny stocks are so cheap, it is fairly easy to invest in several different stocks at a time without tying up a lot of capital. Investing in multiple companies means you stand to benefit if any one of them has a run of success. There are no guarantees for anyone in the stock market, and certainly not for penny stock investors. Having a diverse portfolio, then, is one of the best ways to increase your odds of success.

Be a Skeptic. Because of their low prices, penny stocks are very vulnerable to price manipulation. Con artists may spread false rumors about a certain company to encourage inexperienced investors to buy, thus driving the price up, then sell their own shares to make a quick profit. Conversely, some schemers encourage investors to sell off their shares, then buy them up for literal pennies when the price hits rock bottom. The best way to avoid being caught in one of these schemes is to corroborate your tips as much as possible. If several independent sources say that a particular stock is a good buy, odds are that it really is a good buy. If just one source says to invest in a certain penny stock, move on to a safer investment.

Keep Cool. It is very easy for an investor who runs into trouble to start investing recklessly, hoping to make back his losses. It is even easier to get excited after a few winning trades, become overly aggressive, and lose it all on a few ill-advised investments. Penny stocks are volatile; to succeed, you need to be steadfast. Focus on making sound investments, and in the long run you will reap the rewards.

If you want a thrill, now’s a good time to check back in on Fireman’s Contractors, Inc. (FRCN).

FRCN is that start-up in Texas started by a fireman who saw an all-American need.

Parking lots in Fort Worth take a lot of wear from all the gas-guzzlers driving in and out.

Not to mention the occasional tornado!

Doing the maintenance — repainting the lines and patching the holes — is the ultimate recession-resistant business.

So FRCN was born…and grew into a multi-million-dollar enterprise!

As its 5-cent share price will tell you, FRCN hasn’t gotten too big for day-to-day traders to play.

But it’s over the hump and signing contract after contract after contract.

FRCN has started booking more revenue every quarter than most of us will see in years.

And this is before the “afterburner” of franchising kicks in!

FRCN has officially opened the door to spinning out the “Fireman’s Contractors” name throughout Florida.

Each franchise will earn FRCN a $35,000 start-up fee plus 9% of all revenue, so the cash here might build fast.

Florida’s huge and every driveway costs, what, about $4 a square foot, just to install?

FRCN has a pretty unbeatable plan to compete for the maintenance contracts on all that asphalt.

They give 1% of their revenue back to local fire departments!

You know how hard it is to say “no” to the firemen fund when they call?

Which maintenance firm would you rather go with, the one that supports firemen…or the one that doesn’t?

It’s no wonder blue-chip companies like Microsoft and Bank of America have signed up with FRCN.

And it’s no wonder traders have jumped at the chance to get in on the ground floor here.

Talk about “ground floor!” When FRCN bounces, it bounces big!

Take another look at that chart.

See that 4- to 5-week cycle that’s taken FRCN up well over 100% and back down all year long?

After Monday’s big drop it looks like these shares are itching for their next long ride into the sun.

If so, FRCN may not be a quick get-rich play…but traders who get in now may make out OK.

Good morning!

As we hoped, FrogAds, Inc. (FROG) felt like hopping this morning.

If you were on the ball and saw FROG at $0.11, you might be jumping for joy yourself.

Sure enough, FROG skipped up to $0.12, unlocking close to 10% for early birds in the process.

That penny a share may not look huge to Goldman Sachs, but down here, we definitely felt the earth move.

No news today, so you’ve got to wonder why the normally noisy FROG is so quiet.

Will they hire another supermodel? Get into another hot Web business?

Sooner or later, odds are good they’ll hit the wire again with something.

When they do, be ready!

Meanwhile, we’ve been hitting the Web pretty heavy lately, so let’s calm down with tomorrow’s idea.

Let’s get real “brick and mortar.”

This stock’s such a true start-up that a penny-a-share move will leave traders praising the heavens.

Do we dare for 2 cents? This chart’s seen those kinds of moves.

But unlike the Web, this company’s earned everything it’s gotten through sheer muscle.

Honest work and heavy lifting.

If you want to see whether that kind of all-American story can pay off, stay tuned.

That’s tomorrow morning. Don’t miss it!

It’s time to get FrogAds, Inc. (FROG) back on your radar.

FROG is, of course, the little Web stock with a big, big mouth.

They’re in the business of driving traffic to their site — a cross between eBay and Craigslist — so there’s been plenty of PR.

Pamela Anderson signed up to be the FROG spokesmodel.

We made endless jokes about the princess and the FROG.

But it worked!

“Princess” Pammie got the FROG name into paper after paper, gossip shows and sites.

And suddenly the web trafic curve went vertical! (See for yourself)

FrogAds.com has now hosted “nearly” 1 BILLION searches.

The neat thing about all that traffic is that FROG gets paid by the page view…

More viewers, more ads. More ads, more money!

Lately, FROG has calmed down its news flow to maybe one big release a week.

The last one announced location-based search so FROG can compete with Groupon too.

That was a little over a week ago! With the chart looking due a rebound, another PR hit would hit the spot.

Really “prime the engine,” so to speak!

Sure, FROG is still a baby company compared to the online giants. The numbers aren’t huge.

But what do you want for 10 cents a share?

And the potential for growth is definitely enormous.

Remember, just one trial banner ad about a year ago netted FROG close to $50,000.

FROG has probably netted you guys a bit of cash as well.

The leaps here have been sweet. Can we get another one today?

Apps Genius Corp. (APGS) may not be Zynga, but you wouldn’t know it from today’s chart.

This social gaming start-up has a track record for performance.

And obsessing over its twists and turns as we do around here has paid off again!

APGS didn’t release any big news.

Still, shares soared all the way from $0.11 to $0.145, up 30% and smashing 6-week resistance in the process!

But that’s par for the course as far as APGS is concerned.

Now that $0.14 has been breached, we’re back up where we were in early March and APGS is looking back at levels up to $0.50 a share.

If you’re 30% richer today because of APGS, you’ve got all the incentive you need to keep watching.

If not…tomorrow already beckons.

Another star performer looks ready to make a grand entrance in the morning.

LikeAPGS, this one’s made traders a pile of cash in the past.

And like APGS, it’s got high technology and a lot of PR muscle on its side.

Last but not least…the chart’s set up a lot like APGS was before this morning’s rally!

Coincidence?

Either way, the market’s getting frisky again! Keep your eyes open!

Hello Trader!

Apps Genius Corp. (APGS) burst onto the radar a few months ago.

Something about their media-friendly social “apps” business struck our trading bone.

APGS makes the “Snookie” phone game you might have seen on Conan O’Brien. (See the video.)

And the Internet is now crawling with over 17 MILLION references to this APGS product.

With marketing like that, it’s a good bet APGS can sell a lot of these games to rabid Jersey Shore fans.

Maybe those fans have tetanus. Hard to tell under all that fake tan!

But they’ve got money to spend on toys, and APGS is the company that’s selling to them.

What really got my juices flowing on APGS was the hidden potential in its chart.

The overall trend points down, sure. That’s because APGS keeps gobbling up competitors and paying in stocks.

Dilution is a factor for long-term investors. You and me, though, we’re in it for the one-day trade.

When APGS sets up right, it’s proved it can spike 40% to 50% in a matter of minutes.

February was the most recent string of those big swings.

That’s when APGS was soaring from $0.10 to $0.50 in a four-day run that made us dizzy.

It’s true, APGS price action has “calmed down” a little since.

Some would see that as an opportunity — a long base for APGS shares to make their next leap!

After all, this stock has shown us all that it can soar when it wants to.

And it’s picked up a loyal cult following in the process!

How else do you explain the 500% spike in weekly turnover APGS has printed in just the last month?

Volume has doubled in just the last week!

Meanwhile,APGS keeps growing its business into new areas like social games and microfinancing.

These are the hottest things online. For social gaming, think $6 BILLION behemoth Zynga.

For microfinancing, read up on “Kickstarter” and its $300 MILLION a year for other start-up projects.

APGS has been merging-n-acquiring with companies in both sectors.

If you loved this stock as the online presence of the Jersey Shore diva, it’s still got all the Snookie you can shake.

But if you were a Snookie hater, there’s a lot more here now.

Either way, it’s hard for any other ticker to match that 400% rally we saw a few months back.

If APGS is back on the move like that again, can you live with yourself if you miss it?

Good Evening!

If you’ve been paying attention, tomorrow’s alert needs no introduction.

All you’ll need is the ticker to know that it’s back in play and ready to deliver some thrills!

After all, this is a stock that’s routinely given traders as much as 50% in one action-packed morning in the past!

All it needs is the right news and the right chart situation.

The company’s another of those “social media” names, so news is no problem.

They’ve been making their own headlines — the last few bigger than anything else!

They just bought into the hottest niches in the social world.

I can’t tell you what they are yet because I don’t want you to trade the theme.

If you wanted to trade “the theme,” you’d just save your pennies for a share of Facebook, right?

Nobody wants that. Instead, I want you to see this dime-sized dynamo on its own merits.

And the fact is, there’s a lot of angles here that mighty Facebook isn’t even playing.

So get ahead of the tech curve everyone else is chasing…with a proven performer.

Tomorrow is your first chance to see the next wave!
