| Good Morning, This mornings non-farm payroll numbers look pretty good and equities saw a quick jump top the upside when these numbers came out around 8:30 AM EST. The DOW looks to open right at a three and a half year high, and the NASDAQ looks to make up a little ground after drastically under performing the rest of the market yesterday. Getting through this resistance may be tough, however, as January payrolls were revised slightly down, the unemployment rate actually went up, and average hourly earnings did not budge. Todays number beat estimates by around 40 thousand, but we are still yet to see a jobs increase that keeps up with the population growth. We may just need one more catalyst to break into new territory and get a 100 plus point rally on the DOW. This may come from Oil as traders took quite a bit of profits off the table after this commodity almost matched its high of last year. The dollar continues to weaken across the board, which may actually help stocks. Looking at bonds, they sold off as soon as this number came out, but immediately rallied back. Nevertheless, futures are picking up steam this morning and it should be a good day overall, and another positive week could bring in plenty of buying from break out traders next week. Micro Cap View We continue to see activity levels remaining consistently high on the OTC BB, with the top 100 issues again doing more than 50 thousand transactions. We saw four issues doing over 1000 trades, and besides GTEL, the other three are all new faces. The number of issues under a dollar doing at least one trade remains over 1200, and we saw exceptional price action. Ten of these stocks made gains of 100% or more and only three lost 50% or more. Only 23 of these stocks are priced below our magic number of $.001, where we do not follow stocks. We will keep an eye on this number as a sign of quality to see where it goes over the next month as late filers get delisted off the face of the planet, or more specifically, the Pink Sheets. New Initiatives and Recent Developments We added a new stock to the portfolio yesterday as it came down to a our price condition rather quickly, USTT. We are fairly comfortably weighted, although we have enough capital available to add at least one new position to the portfolio early next week. For today, we will keep an eye on the stocks we are holding, and have tightened up a few of our buy and sell conditions. |

A bit of a sell off late yesterday leaves this position at a rather unprofitable level. We are very lightly invested, and we still feel the same way about the company. We will look to pick up more with another 7% of the portfolio if we get the chance at a substantial discount, leaving us with a reasonable average price. We have adjusted our next buy condition down to $.24. Right now our plan is to only average down one more time, and we will seriously consider reassessing the situation if the stock makes it all the way down to the teens. |

We continue to see this stock perk up a bit with respect to volume and price, and we saw some nice buys late in the day yesterday. We will stick around for now, and would expect the positive activity to continue. We have not seen any new developments in a while, and the support we have seen at a dime without news is quite positive. |

| This stock is such a slow trader that we only need to check on it every now and again, in fact, yesterday we only saw three trades. They registered 600 thousand shares on the 25th of February under some consulting or employment agreements, which will not do much to dilute the existing 22 million shares outstanding. We will remain in this position for the time being until we get much closer to the Strategy International Insurance take over. The most recent news we have to go on is mixed, but interesting. We did not here a reiteration of the $1.75 offer for our shares, but we did not hear of any new proposal. Nevertheless, this independent firm is their secret weapon to try and get a little bit more value, but we do not see them coming up with anything new. We have already scaled back this position to a point where we feel very comfortable, but will not be pursuing any new buys here. We took a fair portion of profits from this stock already, and we will not let the rest of the position dwindle away. We still see a good possibility of a dollar per share sometime real soon. We will probably be in this position at least until March. |

This stock continues to behave in excessively volatile fashion whenever we see even a hint of activity, which has been lightening up a bit with only 4 trades yesterday. We would expect support to remain at $.30, but we must keep in mind the highly speculative nature of this position. We will need to see some dramatically lower prices before we consider adding any more of the portfolio to this stock. We will likely be changing our conditions around as rapidly as this stock changes it's price. We will continue to adjust our profit target to the down side every day that goes by without any developments, as we would expect activity to dry up substantially, within a few weeks or so. |

| We added another 7% of the portfolio Wednesday at our buy condition of $.24, which at first looked like a good entry point. Then, the selling continued and we saw a low of $.17 before the stock finally stabilized at $.20. Yesterday, we were happy to see the stock continue to stabilize. We have taken profits in this position already, but we wanted to remain as heavily invested as possible, as this is our favorite stock for the time being. We still feel the same way, especially when we saw the CEO again pick up shares on the open market Wednesday three separate times. The first buy was right along with us at $.24, and then he added some more at irresistible prices for a total of around 10 thousand dollars. He has now spent almost a quarter a million dollars on his own company, and judging from the pre-release numbers we saw, we see no reason to turn our tails and run. Growth looks good for the first part of this year, but we must understand that with the few different things they have going on right now, they will not be profitable for at least a few quarters. We will simply use this opportunity to become as heavily invested as we want to be. After averaging up a few times in this position, we now stand at break even, and we will be waiting for something in the mid to low teens before we attempt to pick up anymore shares. Essentially we do not want to be more than 20% invested in this position, but would like to remain at more than 10%. Yesterdays press release again looks good. |

We added this stock to the portfolio yesterday fairly early. We were looking for the stock to dip below $.17 before entering our trade, and it did, although not long enough to get the $.169 ask that briefly showed it's head, we ended up paying $.17. Volume looked great and we would expect this position to remain quite active. We will sit tight for the time being and would like to be a little bit more heavily invested, which is why our second buy is planned for $.135, otherwise, we may end up averaging up along the way. |
Daily Tip Ever wonder how the true market in penny stocks can be different than the advertised prices on the level II screen. Market makers for OTC BB securities have a lot less regulation and consequences for their actions. If two people are waiting inside the bid and ask, MM's will take advantage of them and trade among themselves for quick profits. This can lead to more and more retail traders getting in between the spread, thereby creating a new market. MM's don't have to report a sale for up to a minute, although 90% is in real time. At least we don't have to deal with different markets for ECN's and complicated arbitrage stemming from options expirations like we do with the big boy's.

| Good Morning, Blue chips have now finished up 4 out of the last six trading sessions with positive gains with yesterdays underlying momentum being on the upside, despite the slight loss for the DOW and others. We saw the markets rally yesterday as Greenspan began to speak, and Oil inventories came in larger than expected. Then, later in the day, Oil busted through $53 a barrel where it still stands as speculators less popular inventory estimates that actually showed a draw-down. Nevertheless, stocks held up quite well, and when Oil does finally crash, and the timing is right, we may begin to see some new highs in equities. Futures are fairly positive today, and assuming Oil does not continue towards $55 or $60, we may just see those highs today. The DOW hitting 11,000 would be the first hurdle, and we would expect the NASDAQ to continue outperforming the rest of the markets, as it has all week long. Investors are focused on retail numbers that came out showing much more retail spending for almost all of the companies reporting than was originally thought. This shows a bit more growth in the economy than we all thought, but whether or not Wall street focuses on this, or they focus on the reality of more interest rate hikes remains to be seen. We think that the street will remain euphoric as the precursor to tomorrows jobs report, weekly jobless claims, look somewhat positive as well with claims falling 1000. Futures are moving higher, and if things stay the way they are right now, we could see a good day overall. Things that could derail this rally could be more Greenspan speak at 9:30 today, or a poor jobs number tomorrow. With today not being a Friday, we will be watching volume very closely, as we really need to see a heavy day with positive price action. Micro Cap View Trade volume on the OTC BB remains consistently strong with five issues doing more than 1000 trades each yesterday. Overall, price action was positive for the pennies as we saw 8 stocks gaining 100% or more, many with heavy volume, and only 5 stocks losing 50% or more, none of which on heavy trade. All week long the OTC BB has been moving inversely to Blue chips day after day, which again shows very short term divergence, followed by mid term convergence. We see a healthy mix of old standbys and new faces on the most active list in terms of trades per day, and we continue to see the average price for all of the stocks under a dollar rising slightly. New Initiatives and Recent Developments So far this week we have completely exited two stale positions essentially at break even points, SEHO and EMFP. Yesterday, we added to STTC and are now sitting with 50.7% of the portfolio in Micro Caps. This leaves us plenty of cash to pursue new issues, as well as keeping plenty available to average down in any current issues that need it. We have one new buy planned for today for which we will use 7% of the portfolio and the ticker is USTT. We covered this stock in our "Outside the Portfolio" section quite a while ago and since then it has remained on our radar screen. We have seen tremendous average volume for this stock, and it continues to do over 100 trades a day. They sell cashless vending machines and appear to be picking up momentum with respect to fundamentals. They do have around 450 million shares outstanding and around 8 million dollars in debt, but the revenues they are generating make these numbers sustainable. They have positive book value, plenty of cash and a growing customer base. Technically speaking, they stock has held up support at a dime better than any stock we have seen in a while. We feel that it may be very close to breaking out of the $.17 range and busting through $.20. We will not follow this stock below a dime, but would not be opposed to averaging down once somewhere in the low teens. This is not a particularly volatile stock with such a large float, but the consistent volume will allow for plenty of liquidity. We will be looking to buy today right away if we get the opportunity somewhere below $.17. If we do not go below that point today, we will still be buying, and will attempt to get them in the $.17's, before the stock breaks into the $.18's. |

Daily Tip We generally like to keep at l;east 20-40% cash available at all times within our high risk portfolio to take advantage of the dips and valleys that will always come our way, to help in the diversification process and to help keep risk as low as possible. This may at first seem like a waste of resources, but we tend to disagree. Most On-Line brokerage firms allow you to earn interest on the cash in your portfolio by rolling it back and forth between money market funds and even as many as ten different savings vehicles. Right now you are probably earning between 1and 1/2% to 2% on the cash sitting in your portfolio, and by the end of this year, we would expect this figure to be something closer to 3%. This may not seem like a lot, but with 30% of the portfolio always being in cash, your interest earned will add up overtime. Think of this extra cash as a way to drastically reduce your commission costs. As an example, a $10,000 account would earn around 100 dollars on the 3000 or so that is always in cash over a one year period. Think of this as ten free trades a year, or think of it as a one to two dollar reduction in every single commission you pay. Either way you look at it, this is just one of the many advantages of keeping plenty of cash on hand at all times Enjoy Your Trading Day, Penny Stocks Daily Penny Stocks Daily does not receive any compensation whatsoever from the companies we follow.

| Good Morning, Futures have been on the down side all morning long, but do not show the possibility of a steep decline across the board. We saw decent volume yesterday on a significant up day, but it still did not match that of our recent one day declines. Overall, today looks to be a bit of a bore, with the possibility of some movement when Oil inventories come out. A dramatic shift in inventories could easily push Crude Futures out of the very tight range they have been in, which would almost certainly affect the stock market. Beyond that, we have a little bit of jobs data due out at 10:00AM EST, as well as an appearance from Alan Greenspan. Stocks all across the world have been under pressure over the last 18 hours or so, which will make it difficult for the DOW and others to make their way towards positive territory. One positive sign for stocks is the fact that treasuries have sat right where they did after a steep decline earlier in the week which corresponded with sharp moves higher for equities. Charts do not lie, and we are still very close to multi year highs all around, and as long as we stay that close, there is always a good chance of another run. The NASDAQ has outperformed the rest of the market for three strait sessions in a row with yesterdays action being the most dramatic. Looking at stock futures as well as pre-market action in all of the major ETF's, we see the likelihood of that continuing. Micro Cap View Action on the OTC BB continues to be consistently high with the top 100 issues again doing more than 50 thousand trades. Overall, we saw three stocks doing more than 1000 trades, and the top ten breaking through the 600 mark. Out of the 1250 stocks under a dollar that did at least one trade, we saw six of them gaining 100% or more. On the flip side, we saw eight of them losing 50% or more. This shows a significant price action difference as compared to the previous trading session, and we are beginning to see the contrasting trade opportunities that typically exist in the short term, between Micro Caps and Blue Chips. Dow futures seem to be picking up steam to the down side, so we would expect a good day over all for the sub dollar issues. New Initiatives and Recent Developments We were looking to get out of a stale position, SEHO for the first part of this week, and yesterday our rather tight conditions were met. We took the entire position off the table at $.21, as our mental stop loss was adjusted to $.20, after the stock ran up a little bit on decent news. We were also looking for $.23 to see the entire position, but as soon as the bid began to break down, and it was evident that the stock was headed back below $.20, we entered out order immediately. We may keep an eye on this stock and will probably come back if and when volume ever returns. We were so lightly invested in that position that it was essentially a break even trade. As far as cash in the portfolio, we are getting their, but still need to take profits or cut losses in at least one more position. We do not feel the time is right to take profits in our winning positions, although our sell conditions could easily be met in a heartbeat. The cash will come from another stale position we have been holding, but are still lightly invested in, EMFP. We will be selling our entire position in this stock first thing in the morning, so we have removed it from the portfolio section ahead of time. |

Activity levels for this stock remain quite high, and we will use this lackluster price action to add to the position and bring our average price down a bit. We are keeping our second buy condition in place at $.32, and we are happy to become a little bit more heavily invested in this position. We may even consider averaging down one more time in the $.20's, as we like to become more heavily invested in stocks that continue to demonstrate positive fundamentals while the stock price is technically selling off. |

| This stock is such a slow trader that we only need to check on it every now and again, in fact, yesterday we only saw eight trades. They registered 600 thousand shares on the 25th of February under some consulting or employment agreements, which will not do much to dilute the existing 22 million shares outstanding. We will remain in this position for the time being until we get much closer to the Strategy International Insurance take over. The most recent news we have to go on is mixed, but interesting. We did not here a reiteration of the $1.75 offer for our shares, but we did not hear of any new proposal. Nevertheless, this independent firm is their secret weapon to try and get a little bit more value, but we do not see them coming up with anything new. We have already scaled back this position to a point where we feel very comfortable, but will not be pursuing any new buys here.

Yesterdays pre-earnings release after the bell look pretty good, and are at least right in-line with the press releases we saw late last year.

Daily Tip There is no way to determine a tiny stocks likelihood of devastation, and most companies on the OTC BB are by definition on the brink. Without institutional interest in these issues there aren't enough people to demand answers. The only information they provide is forward looking statements and they never give too many clues as to business conditions. It is important to read the disclaimer about forward looking statements as they often contain industry specific examples and probabilities of increasing their customer base. Always be ready to sell these stocks in a heartbeat if disaster strikes and time is of the essence. If you miss a big down shift due to horrible news by a half a day or so, you typically still have a chance to average down and get out at break even within a day or so. It is just important to be on top of it and dissolve your position as soon as possible. This is only for news that shifts the company fundamentally in the wrong direction.

| Penny Stocks Daily March 1, 2005 |
| Good Morning, After a third test of new highs all around the major Indices last week, we were again denied yesterday as stocks headed sharply lower on a decline in existing home sales for January, as well as a persistent Oil price above $51 a barrel. We remain bullish, however, despite the lack of volume we have seen when the markets rally, and the sharp rise in activity yesterday with the NASDAQ doing well over 2 billion shares on very weak price action. We believe that speculation is rampant in the Oil and Currency markets, just take a look at the supply demand relationship. First of all, heating oil supplies were a mere 7% higher than they are today one year ago, but prices are more than 50% higher. Also, last year at this time we had many more signs of economic growth than are present today. Can we blame China? Not really, especially when we consider that their growth seems to have peaked a year ago. In fact, the only reasons we are hearing for this are a slim chance of a production cut from OPEC later this month and, of course, cold weather. You can bet that lat year around this time it was cold in the Northeast U.S., after all it is winter. Fears that Usama Bin Ladin is planning to attack Oil fields in Saudi Arabia were originally behind this Oil craze, but now we believe it is just way overdone. We are seeing the exact type of bullishness in the Oil market as we saw in the NASDAQ five years ago, and every single analyst and Oil trader is bullish. Although we do not see an exact reversal in sentiment for stocks, we do continue to see plenty of bears, and we believe the inevitable crash for Oil will fuel buying in equities. Right now futures are pointing to a little bit of an early morning rally, and we continue to see the NASDAQ outperform, as it barely did yesterday. M&A excitement continues, and we are frankly surprised to see so much activity surrounding the possibility of a Quest, MCI deal, especially considering how much money both of these companies lose time and time again. We will again keep an eye on activity levels, especially on the NASDAQ, and are looking for a matching or even higher volume level on an up day. A couple more sessions with weak volume and good price action followed by heavy selling, and we may be singing a different tune with respect to our short term sentiment. Micro Cap View Activity remains all around on the OTC BB, and we saw respectable price action as the major markets declined. Out of the 3000 plus issues on this non-exchange, 1267 of the stocks trading under a buck did at least one trade. Out of these issues, 7 gained more than 100%, and only five lost 50% or more. Two stocks did more than 1000 trades, and 6 did more than 500. This is not overwhelmingly exciting, but at least we are seeing a level of consistency that has never been present before. Over the past couple of years, activity has remained during March and April, and drops off sharply for the next six months. What we would like to see this time around is a pick up in activity in May and/or October. One thing that is exciting is the fact that we have seen the average number of Market Makers per security grow month after month after month. We continue to see the number of issues decline, showing an improvement in quality almost to a point where this market is quickly becoming structured exactly like the NASDAQ. One missing piece of the puzzle is the amount of graduations to listed status we have seen so far tis year as compared to last year, there has only been three. New Initiatives and Recent Developments We will continue to look for cash in our portfolio, as we are a tiny bit overweighted in Micro Caps. We still have plenty of cash available to add to any stocks we already own that meet our next buy point, but simply do not want to add any new positions right at the moment. We will continue to adjust our conditions until we feel a bit more comfortable. We are still looking to get rid of SEHO if and only if the conditions we have laid out are met. |

We have yet to see the details concerning this companies conversion of debt to equity, and usual when we have restricted securities, we are looking at a whole new ball game. The conversion price of $.80 is quite bullish, although we have yet to see any positive reaction in the stock. In fact, we saw a rather large block trade go through outside of the inside market to the down side worth around 40 thousand dollars at the very end of the trading day. We feel this may be a short term bottom, but should the stock dip lower, we will not be opposed to averaging down once at our next buy point with another 7% of the portfolio. We continue to see plenty of activity and the stock did over 300 trades yesterday. It will be interesting to see how things turn out today if and when we attempt to test that $.40 support range for the fourth time, we will be watching volume very closely at that point. |

This stock continues to perform well and we again saw positive news yesterday. This news was obviously not enough to send the stock busting through the $.30 range, but we at least saw plenty of activity, and over 150 trades. We will keep an eye on trading activity, and if we see a nice boost along with prices in the mid $.30's, that will be the sign to take another third of the position off the table, and look for a dip back below $.30 to pick up more. We will remain patient for now, and will be keeping an eye on open market purchases from the CEO to continue. |
Daily Tip Be sure to take a look at a companies complete filling with the SEC to determine the seriousness of the company and their potential for becoming a big boy. Press releases and abridged versions of quarterly reports are useless for your research. Go strait to the source, www.sec.gov for all of your research. There is no other place that information becomes available and this is the first place to start, followed by a visit or phone call to the company. Company websites are important to, but not for financial information or press releases. Use them simply to see how seriously the company takes itself.

| Penny Stocks Daily February 28, 2005 |
| Good Morning, A very respectable rally on Friday is certain to leave investors bullish this week, especially when we consider that the DOW has now more than made up for it's largest one day decline in several years from last Tuesday. Meanwhile, the catalyst that started the decline for stocks, new four month highs for Oil, remains, showing that even though stocks were hit hard when this happened, they had plenty of other reasons to dust themselves off and get back up. Volume was a little light last week, and we certainly would have liked to see a bit more conviction behind this rally. The Dow is now less than thirty points away from a new fifty two week high, and only several hundred points a way from the long awaited new all time high. We will keep an eye on volume to let us know if this will be the case this week and into next. The NASDAQ, on the other hand continues to under perform the rest of the market, no matter how long or short your time horizon is. This tech heavy Index is now more than 6% away from it's 52 week high, and has to more than double before finding a new all time high. One would have to believe that plenty of value exists in the electronic markets, from the NASDAQ 100 all the way down to the pink sheets. Right now futures are a bit mixed, showing even more signs of an under performing NASDAQ. What we need is not just a one day convergence for this Index, but we need to see it pick up considerable ground all year long. Qatar's Oil Minister said Sunday that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries might "cut supply to stop inventories from building" on March 16 when OPEC members gather in Iran. This is somewhat troubling considering that Oil recently found fresh four-month highs over $52/bbl, an almost 50% premium to prices found exactly a year ago today. The U.S. Dollar is likely to remain under pressure as long a Oil remains over $50 a barrel, and the stock market will probably nor react until there is a extreme trend change in this futures contract. M&A activity remains with FD confirming it will acquire MAY for $11 bln and YELL will acquire USFC for $1.37 bln. MYL has terminated its $4 bln agreement to buy KG and reports suggest Qwest will revise its offer yet again for MCI. A little bit of economic data out all morning long may move markets a bit, and will keep an eye on the Bond pits, as well as S&P futures to see the first hint of any big move. Right now we are remaining bullish. Micro Cap View We continue to see very respectable activity for Micro Caps, and are beginning to see price action more closely match the major markets. We are seeing a little bit less of the heavy activity when Blue chips are dull, and less activity when the spotlight returns to the listed world, and are now seeing a level of consistency that is rare in this inconsistent market segment. We continue to do more than 50 thousand trades a day in the top 100 issues on the OTC BB, and are even starting to see a little bit of consistency over on the Pink Sheets. Only one stock on the OTC BB did over 1000 trades, GTEL, which is a little less than the first four days of last week, but we would expect a little less activity on Fridays. Mondays tend to follow suit, and we may see similar activity today. We will look at Tuesday to see if trade and dollar volume pick up and beats the previous two sessions, and we would march to perform similarly to February, which may turn out to be the most active February ever. New Initiatives and Recent Developments After adding a couple of new stocks to the portfolio last week, we are a tiny bit overweighted in Micro Caps as opposed to cash. For this reason, we would like to see at least one sale in the portfolio, whether it be taking profits or cutting some losses, before we attempt to add any brand new issues to the portfolio. This may take a day or two, or it could take five minutes. We have adjusted many of our buy and sell conditions for the stocks already in the portfolio, so please take note, and most importantly, we are looking to get rid of SEHO if and only if the conditions we have laid out are met. |

We continue to see plenty of volume in this stock and would expect it to continue at least through the first part of this week. Although we feel this stock is a bit undervalued, despite their lack of revenue, we may see some volatile action, and a quick move to either our profit target or next buy point. We originally began looking at this stock last fall when they reported that their revolutionary idea concerning the treatment of diabetes without needles was approved for reimbursement from Medicare. We saw the stock jump a little bit over a dollar, and has since come down to a much more valuable level. We may see a little bit of dilution from the recent letters of intent to acquire a couple of tiny businesses, but feel that once this company starts generating revenues, they could see profits very quickly. Nevertheless, as we mentioned previously, the stock is likely to move with a bit of volatility and hopefully provide opportunities sooner rather than later. |

This is another position that may becoming stale, but with the slow activity that has only slightly picked up, we will remain patient and keep the same conditions probably all week long. We will not be pursuing a new buy, and will look to take the entire position off the table at a slight profit anywhere above $.52. Alternatively, we will liquidate the entire position if support breaks down around $.40 in an attempt to stem any draining of capital. We are still lightly invested in this stock, but we have a tight stop loss because we have yet to see the activity that we thought would return to this position. |

We will keep a close eye on this position today. We feel that support should hold up at a dime, but if we begin to see hints of $.08, we will likely change our conditions rapidly later in the week. |

We will remain in this stock for the time being until we get much closer to the Strategy International Insurance take over. The most recent news we have to go on is mixed, but interesting. We did not here a reiteration of the $1.75 offer for our shares, but we did not hear of any new proposal. Nevertheless, this independent firm is their secret weapon to try and get a little bit more value, but we do not see them coming up with anything new. We have already scaled back this position to a point where we feel very comfortable, but will not be pursuing any new buys here. We took a fair portion of profits from this stock already, and we will not let the rest of the position dwindle away. We still see a good possibility of a dollar per share sometime real soon. We will probably be in this position at least until March. |

We will most likely remain under weighted in this stock given the risk. The volatile moves due to the tiny float will make for a lot of excitement if and when any volume returns. Just look at how fast this stock worked its way up to $.40 yesterday with only a tiny amount of volume. What is the most interesting is that yesterdays volume was right with the highest volume days this stock has seen, and we feel there is good chance that this is just the tip pf the Iceberg. Nevertheless, we will remain lightly invested in this fun issue and see if we can be on the right side of any big percentage swings. |

We are looking to get out of this position very soon, but we have included some conditions today that should allow for the opportunity to get out at least very close to break even, while having a very tight mental stop-loss. We will sell the entire position if support breaks down and we see $.16, and we will also sell the entire position if we see $.205. |

This stock continues to perform well. We will keep an eye on trading activity, and if we see a nice boost along with prices in the mid $.30's, that will be the sign to take another third of the position off the table, and look for a dip back below $.30 to pick up more. We will remain patient for now, and will be keeping an eye on open market purchases from the CEO to continue. |
Daily Tip Don't forget to watch for the strongest and weakest groups in the overall market and relate them to the OTC BB. Also, watch oil and gold prices to name a few that will certainly relate to companies we trade. Always try to find why certain stocks may have moved on lower or higher oil prices for example, even if they don't appear to be influenced by them. Closer examination can and a few extra steps can be rewarding. Is the company's profits directly related to the production of plastics. Is it's expenses directly related to the price of gasoline used in it's delivery trucks, etc. Stock prices always move for a reason and it is our job to find out what that reason is and to anticipate future reactions.
