| December 31, 2004 Good Morning, Stocks may have sufficiently pulled back enough over the past four years to facilitate some decent growth in 2005. Taking this into account, we have been studying all of the major market indices to try and find the best opportunities out there. Almost all of the them are near or above 52 week highs, and a lack of selling recently has kept them propped up very nicely. The DOW will have to get close to 12,000 to match it's all time highs, while the S&P 500 is a little bit closer. All of the Small cap Indices like the Russell 2000, and S&P 600 did not experience the declines saw in the other markets, and are right at all time highs. Anyone who has been in the markets for a while will tell you that the percentage declines of the past five years in relationship to the high and low of that time period were not even close to some of the more extreme bear markets of the past century. The NASDAQ, on the other hand, experienced it's biggest decline from and exponential, and linear standpoint, whichever way you slice it, investors who held on to tech stocks through the entire ride found the most volatile stock market of all time. The NASDAQ Composite, NASDAQ 100 and the Philly semiconductor index are all off their highs by such a significant amount, that it is hard to overlook the possibilities. We believe becoming more heavily invested in tech over the next year could be like buying indusrtrial stocks right after the great depression, which resulted in some of the biggest percentage gains of all time. The key elements of this possible rally in tech will be if we see a Pentium 5, and a new version of Windows this year. We think it is interesting how the pace of these new versions completely stood still over the past four years. Futures point to a similar market as yesterdays, and we could easily see the lightest volume of the year. The Bond market is closed among others, but the stock market is not taking any time off for New Years, perhaps because of the Reagan Funeral. Micro Cap View and potential sign of improved liquidity and quality, is the number of market makers per New Initiatives and Recent Developments With such light volume all week perhaps culminating with the weakest day of the year today, we do not see any pressing need to become heavily invested in stocks at the moment, and sporadically add new positions to the portfolio today. We strongly believe that the markets will allow a reasonable pull back opportunity next week, and allow us to get in some new stocks we are watching at better prices. We do, however, want to become as heavily invested as possible soon, because we feel the final leg of the OTC BB's historic rally will be realized by February. Beyond that, we will take any profits that are there off of the table and become as defensive as possible going into the summer doldrums. The improved liquidity and transparency we continue to see in this market may facilitate a less extreme seasonal swing than we have seen in the past, and that would be very refreshing. We will be paying very close attention to the stocks already in the portfolio, and would not mind adding a little bit more to our STTC position, as well as the AESK position, should it dip a little bit further on light volume. RSGC and MBAH remain rather boring. Please note our new conditions for TIDE as well. |

We are still very interested in this company despite the decline of the past week or so. We believe support at .60 may hold up, and would even like to add some more shares to the portfolio. We have moved our next buy point up, and may continue to do so next week. Unless otherwise noted, we will be using 7% of the portfolio. Although we have yet to see a huge snowfall at their major resorts, milder weather will go a long way towards bringing folks in to spend money, and will offset the extra costs associated with blowing snow. We also think that this company will not need to restructure based on a significant savings with respect to interest rates for some of their long term debt, and as long as they pull off some decent revenues in the coming quarter, they may remain a take over candidate, and you can bet that the current price is way under valued. We will have to keep a close eye on technical values, and thusfar, the light volume we have seen during this pullback is more than positive. |

Although this stock has experienced lackluster performance throughout the last few days, we believe that support at their pre dividend announcement price will continue to hold up. We do not, however, feel comfortable in adding more shares at this time, and will likely initiate a mental stop loss at that support area we have been talking about. Again, volume will be the key. |

We were finally able to add shares back to this position on Wednesday at what we believe was a great price. We had been adjusting our buy condition up little by little every day, and yesterday, $.69 became the magic number, and the ask fell to that level briefly. The stock quickly rebounded back to where it has been trading, but appears to be stuck around $.75 for now. We originally bought this company because of it's outstanding results last quarter, significantly improved balance sheet, and extensive positive earnings. With only 21 million shares outstanding, which appears to be current, we are talking about 15 cents a share for one quarter. We believe this company is being acquired for these very reasons, along with their balance sheet, which shows no long term debt, and their entire liabilities are encompassed by accounts payable. The reason they are able to be acquired is that they do not have a lot of cash, and a good bit of their assets are intangible. We will hold on until this buyout plays itself out a little bit more, but we have heard hints that this quarters results will not be nearly as good. For this reason, we may try and get out before their annual report comes out. We will just have to wait and see. We do not see this company being affected by the Tsunamis in Asia, as a lot of insurance and re-insurance companies have been. |

Despite being somewhat heavily invested in this stock at the moment, we would not mind adding a few more shares to make it the most heavily weighted stock in the portfolio at this time. We are in the middle of a tight trading range at the moment, and will need to see the stock break out above $.165 before seeing any more huge upside potential. Nevertheless, we have moved our next buy condition up to take advantage of a possible dip into the low end of this range. We will keep a very close eye on this stock. |

Yesterdays advance was surprising, but still very welcome. We took half of the position off the table at out price target of over a dollar, and will continue to hold the rest of the position for more gains. Right now, our conditions are such to facilitate an almost guaranteed profit with plenty of extra upside potential. We will watch things very closely, but for now, we have a stop loss at a dollar for the remainder of our shares and will take full profits at $1.25. We would also consider adding this position back to the portfolio at somewhere under a dollar. |
Daily Tip Making phone calls to the company can be a great way to help understand what they do. Talking directly to the CEO may help you clear up a confusing press release, or help you clarify what their goals are. Do not, however, think that you will be able to gain some sort of insider information, or something that is not already in their filling with the SEC. The reason for this is they simply cannot say anything that is not in these fillings without directly violating securities laws. If you believe a CEO has given you some kind of unique information that no one else has, be sure to run far and fast, and don't look back. Also, understand that what you are talking to is a salesman, and they will say whatever they can to sell you shares. A good conversation with a CEO that leaves you feeling like you are best friends, will likely lead to a long and painful marriage. SEC reports inherently show no emotion, and until you can become an efficient robot, this is still the best place to get your information. Enjoy Your Trading Day, Penny Stocks Daily |
| December 30, 2004 Good Morning, Stocks appear to be trading mixed today and the year end rally that everyone was hoping for seems to have already been played out over the past few weeks. We may see a little bit more upside next week, but right now is a crucial technical level for stocks. We are at the very top of a long term trading range, and although the NASDAQ is at three year highs as well, it has a long, long way to go before coming close to it's all time highs. Over all this year has been positive, but most of the gains we have seen from depths of 2002 were made up in 2003. There was a lot of noise for stocks this year, coupled with the fact that investors who were down so much from the bubble bursting did not hesitate to get out at break even. It will simply take a long time for investors to jump back in with both feet, and we believe the new year will go a long way toward healing the wounds of time. We strongly believe and have heard a kind of buzz going around that tech stocks will absolutely be on fire next year. Also, small caps have outperformed for quite a wile now, and may need to pause a while until blue chips catch back up. We would not be surprised to see the NASDAQ approach 4000 within the next six months or so. Micro Cap View This year has turned out to be pretty decent for Micro Caps, which started early in January this year, and the OTC BB made some significant progress towards separating itself from the Pink Sheets and legitimizing itself further. Liquidity is improving faster than that of the NASDAQ when it first began. New Initiatives and Recent Developments As we have yet to see any evidence of a huge rally we are remaining fairly heavily invested in cash, but may add one or more new stocks to the portfolio into the new year. Right now we are concern is with the stocks that are already in the portfolio. STTC appears to be gaining ground again, MBAH is holding steady, TIDE continues to offer gains and profit taking opportunities, AESK may be finding support, and we continue to wait and see what else RSGC has to offer. Stocks that we are particularly interested in adding more shares to the portfolio are STTC and TIDE. |

Activity on this companies mountains appears to be picking up ground headed into the end of this week. A large portion of their revenues are generated during this weekend, and a little bit of snow could go a long way toward cutting costs. A little bit warmer climate appears to be working it's way into the northeast which will allow for even more skiers to enjoy their time off. |

Support continues to hold up well, and as long as nothing changes, we will continue to hold. Right now we are about as heavily invested as we want to be, and we do not expect our next buy condition to be met.

We like this company a lot and feel that investors may not be fully savvy to the kind of revenue potential they are looking at.

We believe $.70 may be the new support level for this stock, at least in the short term, and as long as Oil holds up above $40. We may initiate stop loss at that level shortly to ensure at least a break even performance. We also may be interested in buying more shares at that level, and will slowly move our buy condition up, which has already been bumped up today. We may also move our sell target up a bit. |
Daily Tip When stocks sell off on heavy volume for no apparent reason, never assume that it's a good time to buy. Wait for news because sometimes events can happen that are public, but are not reported for a day or two. This happens a lot on the OTC BB. One example would be if a judgment was reached in court instantly becoming public knowledge but not instantly released on the news wire. Most news from these companies are internal press releases any way and are rarely from an outside source. Remember that any huge fundamental change will be reported to the SEC and available to you. Big sell offs can also be the result of related news such as mortgage rates or new laws. It could also simply be a technical sell off. Never act right away in these situations because when the news does come out, the first sell off was just the tip of the iceberg. Enjoy Your Trading Day, Penny Stocks Daily |
| December 29, 2004 Good Morning, Almost all of the major Indices closed yesterday at new highs, and the NASDAQ finished at levels not seen since 2001. A consumer confidence reading of well over 100, which was far better than expected, may help stocks continue there advance today. Futures are pointing to a mixed open however, and stocks will need some sort of catalyst to keep this momentum up into the end of the year. Existing home sales and Oil inventories are due out later today, and could easily provide that catalyst. As far as the U.S. Dollar, a rally could help as well. The year end rally that everyone has been expecting seems to be short lived, and as we have said in the past, we do not expect the DOW to make it past 11,000 this week. Historically stocks do well al the way through February, and we will ave to wait and see how it plays out this time around. We are still seeing a high level of merger and acquisition activity, which is a great sign. We believe the NASDAQ will completely outperform all other indices, even Small Caps through out 2005. Micro Cap View We were expecting to see the OTC BB match the gains on the major markets yesterday, but that scenario did not quite play out. Volume was fairly high for a holiday week, and we are still seeing plenty of issues doing 1000 trades or more. Unfortunately almost all of the specific sectors were down, but not by much. Should Blue Chips pull back today, as futures are starting to indicate, we would expect to see a rally in Micro Caps that could easily carry all the way into the end of the week. New Initiatives and Recent Developments As we have yet to see any evidence of a huge rally we are remaining fairly heavily invested in cash, but may add one or more new stocks to the portfolio by the end of the week and into the new year. Right now we are concern is with the stocks that are already in the portfolio.

We believe $.70 may be the new support level for this stock, at least in the short term, and as long as Oil holds up above $40. We may initiate stop loss at that level shortly to ensure at least a break even performance. We also may be interested in buying more shares at that level, and will slowly move our buy condition up, which has already been bumped up today. |
Daily Tip If you have been caught up in a trade minimum per quarter or month and need to make a few trades this month in order to save a few hundred dollars, then you should go ahead and make them. Hopefully you have some cash available so don't try to sell anything you already have. Instead look for high priced stocks with tiny spreads to trade. This will keep any losses at a minimum. Also look for highly liquid stocks so you can get in and out almost instantly. Don't forget about the day traders rule so break your cash down appropriately, as cash accounts now have to hold for three days before reinvesting funds. Enjoy Your Trading Day, Penny Stocks Daily |
| December 28, 2004 Good Morning, The stock market still has little to trade on this week, although consumer sentiment, due out at 10:00 today, may help stocks continue their advance after yesterdays modest decline. Retailers will be in play all week as we continue to hear results from this holiday season. We have obviously not seen the kind of growth that was expected in this sector a month or so ago, but the numbers appear to still be beating last years, but only by 2-4%. Oil may again be on traders minds as a warm spell is expected in the northeast, which could be offset by recovery efforts in Asia. Unless this futures contract goes below $40, there will probably not be much of a spill over into stocks. We would expect volume to remain light all week. Micro Cap View The OTC BB did well over 2 billion shares yesterday, although number of transactions were on the light side. Despite light volume this week, we are still seeing several issues doing well over 1000 trades, and even one in the 4000 range. Overall, yesterday was positive for most sectors, and we will continue to watch dollar volume. This weeks lack of activity will likely allow Micro Caps to converge with blue chips and follow them almost exactly. New Initiatives and Recent Developments We sold out of our position in IVGA yesterday, as the stock fell below our newly placed mental stop loss price. We still like this company, and may come back in around a penny if things continue to look good. We will likely add at least one new stock to the portfolio this week as we are becoming a little bit to heavily invested in cash. For now we will keep a close eye on the stocks we are already in, Right now MBAH and STTC, as we do not want these stocks to become capital drainers. We may initiate stop losses in both of these issues soon, but we still feel very confident about a significant appreciation from here. We will continue to hold RSGC and TIDE, both of which have been performing up to par. We would still like to add to the RSGC position which has become way to light after talking half of the position off the table a week or so ago. We are still hunting for a good stock to hedge against our TIDE position, which seems to be moving right along with Oil. |

Daily Tip Although electronic trading is good for the average retail trader, The OTC BB can be tricky. When comparing the NASDAQ to listed stocks on the NYSE and AMEX, Over the Counter trading wins every time. No where else can you receive a guaranteed execution at the best advertised price at lightening speed. However, when trading penny stocks, that guarantee is typically only for 5000 shares. With the tiny price of these stocks, 5000 shares can be meaningless. One way to gauge how many shares are really available is to not only see how many separate Market Makers are on the inside Bid or Ask, but to see which firms are there. Larger MM's will typically provide larger liquidity, although not always. NITE and Schwab are the biggest and if you see both of them on the inside, you can bet there's plenty of shares to go around. GVRC is huge as well and along with Schwab tends to cater to retail investors. Knowing the size of your Market Makers will give you a great clue as to the size of their offerings and seeing a small firm soaking up tons of shares or cash on the inside will tell you even more. Enjoy Your Holiday, Penny Stocks Daily |
| December 27, 2004 Good Morning, As we begin trading during the slowest week of the year, watching volume may supply a little bit of insight on why the markets will, and will always rally during the holiday season. Barring any kind of disaster, there is simply no real catalyst to initiate broad based selling due to a lack of economic data, slow earnings reports, as well as very few press releases. The simple fact that everyone is in a good mood, especially after the shopping is all done, leads to a slow but steady rally. Also, most traders that take losses before years end to save a few bucks on their taxes have waited the required 30 days to get back in, and often jump back on the same stocks they sold in October. So far this week, we only see a couple of bits of news that could move the markets. Consumer confidence, which comes out tomorrow, will probably include the euphoria of early November when holiday sales were expected to be bigger than ever. Existing home sales may play a role, as well as last weeks jobless claims. Insurance companies may get some attention after the devastating, and heartbreaking earthquakes leading to tidal waves in Asia. Retailers may also be in the spotlight as they begin slashing prices in a feeble attempt to draw down there over stocked inventories by years end and keep investors happy. We can always watch the price of Oil, the U.S. Dollar, as well as gold and other commodities, but without any kind of major disruption to the current trend, these market movers will probably remain in check. Oil may pull back due to an expected bout of warmer weather, but until we get back below $40, which is where analysts expect prices to be in 2015 by the way, we will not get a 100 plus point rally on the Dow. As we have been saying, 11,000 on that Index will be the key number to watch, and although we may make it above that, level by weeks end, staying above it and creating new support will be difficult. Micro Cap View The total number of trades on the OTC BB was light on Thursday, which was to be expected, however, remaining above 50 thousand is still impressive. We will watch this week to see if there is more activity on these friskier markets as investors may have plenty of holiday bonuses to play with. The advance decline line fell to the down side during the most recent trading session while the major indices held strong. We did, however, see all but one or two sectors perform better than average. Overall, activity all across the board will be light this week. New Initiatives and Recent Developments We remain heavily invested in cash, but not nearly as much as a couple of weeks ago. We feel comfortably weighted to possibly take advantage of this Santa Claus rally which may spill over into the portfolio. Without any brand new buys planned for today, we will be able to pay close attention to a few stocks we are already involved with, and we have plenty of capital available to add to any positions that meet our next buy points. Specifically, we would like to add more cash to our RSGC position. On Thursday, we added to our MBAH position, and have talked about a new mental stop loss for IVGA. |

Daily Tip Many stock market gurus, giving new traders advice will tell you that you must be well capitalized before you begin trading. We tend to disagree, the fact is no matter how much research equity trading and investing before you jump in, the only way to really learn whats going on is to participate. Why would they tell you to use tons of money on your first trades, the answer is simple, they want more of your money. We fell it's better to start off with a small amount of capital and work up to the bigger trades. Also, be prepared to lose money, as this is the only real way to learn how to preserve your capital. Think of it as tuition that you are going to have to pay no matter what. The good news is that by the time you build your account to the recommended capitalization, you will be well ahead of the curve. Experience is perhaps the most important thing you can accumulate.
