AURORA, Colo. -- A little-known syndrome connected to heavy marijuana use is on the rise in Colorado, according to doctors.
Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS, was first described a decade ago, but researchers in Colorado said they are seeing double the number of cases since marijuana was legalized.
"The science behind it is not clear. We’re just starting to recognize that it even exists," said Dr. Kennon Heard, an emergency physician at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora. "The most likely cause is people using marijuana frequently and in high doses have changes in the receptors in their body, and those receptors become dysregulated in some way, and it starts causing pain."

Mentioned earlier, UNVC finally doubled and may be for real.
I cashed in most of it, time to find another potential winner.
Hi Mack, great to hear from you!
Cash is still king but for how long, no one really knows.
I feel better about stocks now then I did a year or so ago. Hopefully they will make a mild come-back.
Have a great New Year and I will look for your return.

Merry Christmas Dusty, Chris!!!
Things are going well with me. Sorry I havent been posting but I have a not been doing a lot of trading and the trading I have been doing has not been to worthy to post. Been a good year to not do too much trading, much more chance to lose than gain.
I have been collecting some CTDH at .06 and under and UMCI at .02 and under. Nothing too special but nothing that looks too dangerous to losses. Both are profitable with low revenues and both don't usually use PR's so I will likely sit on them for a while. But hoping for a January effect to make a few bucks. CTDH is the more interesting of the 2, only 4.8 Million outstanding and slightly over 3 Million of that is held by the owner and 1 other shareholder. So any interest at all and this would move up.
Have a great holiday!
Mack
I mentioned some time ago that I was staying with UNVC. Its' time may have arrived, if not what's a little more time.

Watch this one, CRXL
According to Business Week Magazine, they are developing a West Nile vaccine. It's yet to be formally announced, but the PR may come out today. If it does, it will take off by the $$$$, I predict.
Here's a note about it on Yahoo:
"7:04AM Crucell N.V. highlighted as West Nile play in Business Week (CRXL) 4.10: Business Week reports that this small Dutch biotech outfit recently signed a yet-to-be-announced agreement with the National Institutes of Health to develop a vaccine against West Nile. A money manager who refused to be named has bought 500,000 shares and says a West Nile vaccine could produce huge revenues for Crucell."
Dusty, finally some good news on AQCI. Hope you are still holding and the price goes to-the-moon.
I buy and I pray, I am not making recommendations for you to buy, only letting you know what stocks interest me.
Chris J
Out of MLRC, sucking wind on DDIC but not in fear.
To me, it appears that there are some good opportunities out there.
Picked up "what Dave buys" some CPTL which is down to .11.
Out of DYN, quite pleased, will come back in if it goes down again.
I buy and I pray, I am not making recommendations for you to buy, only letting you know what stocks interest me.
Chris J
Out of 1/2 DYN, nice gain. In at .7 out at 1.89. The other half will have to wait for 2.00.
Dumped a couple of slow ones that I mentioned a while back HCRT and ACSI (?). Didn't hold many shares so the loss was minimal.
Buying DDIC and MLRC for the long haul,.35 to .60 range. could be a few months but one of them is capable of a 10x gain (was 20 pre 9/11). The will get knocked off of Nas, the price could drop more but I always feel that if you buy at the very bottom and sell at the very top you are buying wrong, you will miss many great stocks.
I always spread the purchasing around, that's why I am ahead. I never go big time for one item.
Chris J/tolateshmart
Things are looking up for me.
There appears to be some good opportunities out there.
Dave and Low have supplied some good tips (Plato's). I doubled on Lowroller's ELSO the weekend he suggested it, thanks again.
Now picking up Dave's (what he buys)DYN and worldcom for a longer hold. As they say, low downside risk (ya gotta love penny stocks) - good chance of a significant long term gain.
It's one gain-at-a-time now, a little at a time but there are ways to make a buck in this market.
Good Luck,
Chris

Took profit on BDGPA,
still looking at AMTE, where can I get some info on this company.
Chris
Chris J/tolateshmart
Take a look at AMTI(E) - The E is gone tomorrow!
They'd been picked by stock sites to go way up. That was before the SEC made them include their recent acquisitions to the filings. It's done now and it should be a great ride!!
Hi Dave, Glad you are hanging in..
I am getting more serious about BDGPA, picking up more today.
I see a greater up-side benefit because this was on the big boards before being ousted. My hope is that they will return.
I am willing to hold this one for over a year and am showing a gain so far. Looking for over 4x on this one.
Chris
Chris J/tolateshmart
Hi Chris....
Yish, I just have not got back in pennies for a while... but a couple of my dogs have done a little turn around. Mack advised me to buy TTXI (a shell I think)quite a while ago, and recently it has moved quite nice. Good thing I was not watching or I would have sold it a lot sooner... I sold half at .40 and still have about 5000 shares. One other of my holdings CALVF (a gold stock) is up, I only have 5000 shares of that .... but it is a double, I am still greedy (ugh) and holding for a few more cents. Otherwise I am close to broke on the Penny side. I just sell off a few of them for tax losses.... every so often! Maybe, some of them will still come alive ........ otherwise when I sell I am just keeping the little cash I have. No big picks from me... I saw Dusty at church a couple weeks ago and he said he is still working for the small gains and being satisified to just make money!! Sounds good to me ... but now I am going to wait a little and then transfer my funds from Quick & Reilly to E-trade. Quick & Reilly's fees went too high!!!
So, if you have something hot.... I am all ears ... well most of my ears suffer severe "penny frostbite"!! At least I can still smile and I still lovefishing!!!
Good to see somebody is still on the boards...
God Bless,
Dave in S.D.
Back in with BDGPA, HRCT and UNVC.
This is the first time that stocks have gone up right after I purchased them. Hope it is a good omen.
BDGPA is the former BD Budget group. Delisted from NASDAQ. It looked like a good thing to take a chance on.
Anyway, if someone still visits the "corner" let me know what you are buying.
Chris J/tolateshmart
Hey Mack,
Vacations may be ending soon!!
I am starting to think that the time has come to start buying again.
I took a look around today and may put in some buys for Monday.
How have you been doing? And you Dusty"
Chris
Chris J/tolateshmart
Still taking that penny vacation....
Been a tough year, took some cash back out for material goods. Waiting about another month before getting active again
Hope all is well!
Mack
Thanks Dave, happy to see you are sticking around.
It is difficult to stay in the green today! I have been using the patience method and still keeping a good portion of the portfolio in cash.
I still look for the pennies that have not run and that "sound" like they have a chance. RDNK for example. I had a buy in at .03 when it was trading at .02. It did not fill for two days. It went to .05 but I missed the ride. It doesn't bother me, there will be others.
May God bless you too.
Chris
Chris J/tolateshmart
Chris,
Nice to see someone make a buck on this ugly market!! I am justing laying on the sidelines bleeding like a stuck hog!! Never the less, I am happy inside.... life is short and priorities are re-arrange looking at the New York situation!! Keep up the green my friend.... sooner or later I will emerge after I get a few stitches to sew up my wounds and re-invest!! Nice to see someone using this board!!!
God Bless,
Dave
Hi Mack, Dusty, and all! Finally feeling better about WPTE.
In the green again after a nice gain. I am hanging in for a
lot more on this one,,,,patience may do it.
Chris
Chris J/tolateshmart
Mack... nice to see you are still around and kicking!! Yes, the pennies still stink......... I still lurk, reading and hoping one of my few dogs in pennies surprises me with a home run. It has been an awful butt kickin for me.... I too have quit trading for now... just too tough, especially since my cash is is very low!!! Now, I am just waiting to sell some of these dogs for a tax loss!!! Keep your chin up.... we still might hit one!!! Nice to see you posting .... I still check in and read all the posts. Good Luck .... Dave in S.D.
Hi Chris/Dusty - Been taking a Penny Vacation myself
Got beat up by a few trades and the all the markets (especially Pennies) just suck.
Current plan is to continue to raise cash if issues I hold make a run.
Probably won't re-enter the game till after Christmas, things may snap back before then but with year end selling and major markets still a risk, I am going to wait till a traditionally strong Penny time.
Dusty's one friend said he makes all his money in only 2 months of the year, good advice.
Mack
WPTE volume has been high this week and I still feel good about it.
Chris J/tolateshmart
Finally let loose some of my cash and picked up some WPTE.
It has many of the aspects that I look for in a stock. Like most I make nice gains on it dips right after I buy it, enough to make me uneasy but I always hang in there.
Recent news on a spin off may have caused some selling.
Chris.
Chris J/tolateshmart
Got some MFLM, coulda got it cheaper
It looks like they are continuing their CD, may try to pick some more up at .0055.
These are ugly to play but do like to run on news, I see there are now 58M shares out, math is still good but expect more shares to appear.
Nothing more than entertainment money still.
Mack
Gonna start to dabble in some MFLM
Ending up doing very nicely with the FBNI/FTWB situation. Sold enought pre-split to keep the reverse from wiping me out and then bought back post split very cheap which I have started taking some profits on. Got REAL lucky here, if I held 1 more day before selling before the surprise split, it would have been very ugly. A lesson to be remembered, make sure you take some profits on a run, just in case there is a hidden disaster around the corner.
I am looking at MFLM which just did a 1:4 reverse, currently has a market cap of $450K. Trying to get under .008. I am sure they will sell more stock, but usually they will pump before they sell. So looking for 50% (.012) and then sell out and wait for the next cycle. Not going in too heavy, just pick up a chunk, add more if it drops, sell into a run.
Mack
Hey Lovefishing, good to hear from you.
My odd-essy with FBNI is now winding down with the surprise RS today. I was just doing really good here, having bought a lot more in the .002's and sold a ton today early in the .005's. Thought they would have 1 more PR this week for a good profit.
Unfortunately, I have a lot left over going into the merge so my paper profits will be gone.
Right now I got a lot of cash, not rushing into buying much as I have been too busy to look.
Webstreet should be good for you, keep in touch!
Mack
Mack, I have patience and I am waiting with a batch of them pennies!! Too bad I didn't get them all at the bottom, but many of them took me to the bottom!! Still lurking, but somewhat laid back and waiting to see if the penny market will recover!! Nice to see you guys still trading, I am trying to transfer brokers, going from Quick n Reilly to Webstreet. Keep at it guys, I will be back!!
Thats the way to do it Chris,
Unless you daytrade, if you can find a bottom and then wait you can make good money at pennies. Unfortunately, bottoms can get deeper. But patience is the key, when they move up they move up fast!
Mack
Mack, I just got blessed again with the ABRG.
I appreciate your posts, please continue at any rate you are comfortable with.
Like I said to Dusty (earlier post), I will keep him company on ABRG "as long as it takes". I have found it pays to wait it out in most cases, just be sure you bought near the bottom.
I took my profit on ABRG.
Chris J/tolateshmart
Chris, got tired of talking to myself
and I don't have a lot to post on myself, waiting for FBNI to run up a bit so I can liquidate what I have. I have had a few good plays to keep me going, not getting rich but still around.
I sold ABRG a while ago, glad you have a good one!
Mack
This is to all my friends here..............
If anyone is into Canadian stocks, I strongly suggest KRT.V
This stock under 1.00 is a buy in my opinion. Only .68 today.
I own it for the long term where I see it going to 25.00 or more.
If you only want to play it for a short term gain, then buy it under 1.00. Anything under 1.00 will give you a quick gain, but a dollar is coming quick. I've been following this one for a long time now and the fruits of my labor are about to be had.
You are getting it for free.
GEEEEWIZZZZ....ABRG is flying and nobody is cheering?
I don't know why but it does feel good.
Chris J/tolateshmart
Still not feeling comfortable, even after the rate reduction.
I keep looking for good pennies which are hard to find these days.
By the lack of posting it looks like I am not alone in my uneasiness.
Chris J/tolateshmart
Had to stop unloading....
as the price dropped with no volume.
Still looking for this to rise over the next few weeks abit.
Mack
FBNI - Started unloading the truck
Got a nice bounce yesterday. I lot of times these lowly subpennies will run for a couple days. I hope so.
Did buy some AREE once again at .0039.
Mack
FBNIE finally files
Plan to sell in the next few weeks, hopefully there will be a small run. Averaged down quite alot and really would like to unload the truck.
Mack
Still holding FBNIE and DREV
The FBNIE has been tough, going to be patient.
Would like to see DREV make a run up a little and take some profits.
Hope all is well,
Mack
DREV - put up a new website
http://www.dragonenvironmental.com
Will be interested to see if this one gets some pump. If so I will shave some off. I bought more at .0015 last week so I now have 400,000.
Mack
FBNIE today - But I bought more yesterday
This now has a market cap of around $700,000-800,000 on what I think is around 180 Million shares outstanding.
Just started picking it up a little too early.
Mack
I'm still holding FBNI,not for the same reasons,just holding,Bill
I see tonight that FBNI gets the E tomorrow.
Too bad I have been accumulating this under .006 and now its .0047.
I am holding and may even buy more if it drops much more. Yes its has a risk of going pink in a month but it is a month away and unless this is just an out and out total scam this should run at some point.
My reason for holding is really based on 3 thoughts.
1) They have filed 18 times this year with the SEC (Mostly insider trading or dilution). To me this shows intent to keep filing as they have been staying up to date with most of these filings.
2) The late filing is a yearly which requires an audit. Hopefully this is the reason for the delay.
3) Finally, insider trading shows Howard Stern (NOT the Howard radio Stern) has been buying shares up through Mid-March. Could be a giant headfake as 10 Million shares total of FBNI is only worth around $50,000 right now, but it leads one to believe the intent is not for the price to tank.
Insider trading is found at:
http://biz.yahoo.com/t/f/fbni.html
Anyway, could blow up in my face but what the heck, that price is getting very low. But then again, on the OTCBB the lows just seem to be able to get lower.
Mack
Yea Dusty the OTCBB is tough right now. Not paying big attention day to day but still have some interests. Mostly still trying to buy as low as I can and wait for a run. The OTC has a way of redefining a low though, they keep getting lower:}.
FBNI should run at some point, don't hold too long it will come back when it does.
DREV retreated back down yesterday I see, there certainly is volume. If there is a pump we should do well. If not, certainly not much risked.
Hi LoveFishing, the sidelines may be the best place to be.
Mack
Mack, Dusty and others..... just wanted to drop in and say Hi!! Hope you are all making money.... me .... I am on the sidelines, holding all my dogs! I am doing a lot of fishing, caught two nice walleyes last night casting rocky shorelines!! I still drop in and read... just not trading. Have fun everyone.... I am!!!
MACK,you were right about VCSY.Took a 200 dollar bath.not bad but not good,bought 100k FBNI and 100k of drev today,Bill
I can't believe MJXC,doesn't make a run.The float and O/S is huge,they have little money,they can't make a real profit on these modulars but the safety bar idea,I really like that.Anything that will keep kids safe,I'm all for,Bill
Bill,
I will keep you company on ABRG but I am willing to wait more than a few months if necessary.
Mack, thanks for the congrats but here I go again.
Chris
Chris J/tolateshmart
Way to go Chris!!
I was watching NPCT last week, no position, but you did well!!
More invested than you are though I am looking at little long-term. Still got FBNI for a run, gonna hold the amazing DREV. Had a little AREE around that i will get out of this week, was just waiting for a run. Average is about .0073 so just reducing some paper losses.
Mack
I wasn't as confident Dusty, I am now at 90%+ in cash having taken advantage of the price jumps.
Even my NPCT is gone.
Looking for the next opportunity but will spend time if it is necessary.
One doesn't have to be fully invested to make money today, the key is to be careful with what you have. IMO.
