Why These Stocks Will Cripple Your Portfolio
Alexander Green
Chief Investment Strategist
Due to the stock market's recent woes, investors have been able to buy many fine companies for less money.
Yet some want to go all the way down to the cellar. "Why don't you ever recommend penny stocks?" one subscriber recently asked. "After all, it's easier for a 50-cent stock to go to $1 than for a $50 stock to go to $100."
For starters, it's not.
Over the years, dozens of studies have shown that lower priced stocks don't do better than higher priced stocks. In fact, they do considerably worse.
While it's not easy for a 50-cent stock to go to $1, history shows that going from 50 cents to zero is like falling off a log.
There are other reasons why I won't touch penny stocks with a barge pole...
Why Penny Stocks Stink
~ Long Shots: The vast majority of tiny, unprofitable companies are such ridiculous long shots, they don't even merit your attention. Most of these companies have little, if anything, in the way of profits, not to mention the first prerequisite: sales.
~ Wide Bid/Ask Spread: You could drive a cement mixer through the bid/ask spread on many penny stocks. For instance, if a stock is offered at 30 cents and bid at 24 cents, you're down 20% as soon as you get your trade confirmation. (And that's before commissions.)
~ Low Liquidity... High Risk: Penny stocks are thinly traded and easily manipulated. You may buy a penny stock and see it zip higher. But then try getting out. It's pretty disheartening to know that you can drive down the price of your stock simply by selling a couple of thousand shares at market.
And then there are the outright scammers...
Don't Fall for the "Pump-And-Dump"
Often referred to as a "pump-and-dump," a penny stock scam is when the insiders talk the stock up on one hand while bailing out like there's no tomorrow on the other.
That's usually because despite the great story (and make no mistake, the stories are always fabulous) the company's genuine business prospects are usually nil. But penny stock promoters want you to trust them and believe in the hot tip.
If you're going to evaluate a penny stock, here's how the penny pushers would like you to do it:
By recognizing the multi-billion dollar market they intend to operate in.
By considering the enormous profits they'll generate when their technology is finally commercialized.
By noting the proven reserves of the mining company operating next door.
By the preliminary results of their Phase I trials.
By any criterion you can think of except what the company is actually earning... because that figure is virtually always zero.
If you insist on discovering these lessons for yourself, if you doubt my words, or for some reason are drawn to penny stocks like a moth to a flame, at least take a few basic precautions before you invest...
Penny Stock Precautions
Start by reading the company's most recent quarterly or annual report. Then look for the following...
Does the company have sales or earnings?
What kind of debt is it carrying?
How long has the company been in business?
Who are the people behind it?
What is their track record?
What is their rap sheet?
In other words, if you're going to roll the dice, make sure it's a genuine speculation, not just a mindless crapshoot.
Also, take a look at what the insiders are doing. If the insiders - the ones who seem unable to contain their enthusiasm for the company's near-term prospects - are dumping the stock en masse, you know all you need to know.
Run.
Some will say I'm unduly pessimistic. (Penny stock promoters, especially.) And clearly, a few successful companies did start out as penny stocks.
But for every success story, there are hundreds of penny stocks whose charts bear an uncanny resemblance to the last flight of the Hindenburg.
In short, there are plenty of smart ways to invest your money. Toying with penny stocks, in my view, is one of the dumbest.
Good investing,
Alexander Green
Editor's Note: Don't be sucked into the dangerous world of penny stocks when there are far safer, more profitable ways to invest.
For example, The Oxford Club has helped generate around $19 billion for its members since 1987. And that success is thanks to recommendations grounded in first-class research and analysis, plus a straightforward, market neutral, diversified asset allocation model.
From small caps to large caps, stretching across different sectors, industries and countries, the Club's mission is simple: build profits and safeguard wealth. And its success hasn't gone unnoticed. The independent Hulbert Financial Digest has ranked The Oxford Club's Communiqué among the top five investment newsletters of the past decade. See how you can get some of that success for yourself, too.
coming soon...a new scam
CEO's what about the pumpers/promotors??
all pinks are scams
name one that succeeded
BLDV - John Q. Moaning is a clever one.
He simply has a few longs contact him, they have a conversation, and he pumps through them.
Very clever.

I make it a habit to NEVER get to know the CEO’s of OTC companies. While you may say that that is stupid it is, actually, quite the opposite.
I base what I do on facts and actions – not on what a company spokesman says.
Wilf, I am not saying that you are running a scam, when I say this, I am simply point out something: Those who talked to Urban Casavant, Richard Altomare, Petar Vucicevich and other scam CEO’s inevitably come away feeling mollified. The “con” in “con man” comes from “confidence”, and by definition, scam CEO’s MUST be damned good snake oil salesman.
Moreover, most of the best scams have legitimate aspects to them that can be trotted out and shown to shareholders (look at SLJB and the lumber yard tours that were used to sucker in many).
Again, I am NOT saying that DPBE is a scam, but I am saying that there are many things here that do not look right. Your unwillingness to answer simple questions that should be easy for any CEO of a public company and that would be part of even the most rudimentary disclosure causes me some concern.
As to your answer about why your T/A is gagged - nice try. I have worked in corporate finance for almost 20 years and what you say is a rationalization, not a legitimate reason. Sorry

INCIDENT TYPE: ANIMAL NEGLECT
DATE/TIME: Friday, December 15, 2006 @ 12:53 p.m.
LOCATION: 1130 Harmony Drive NE
BUSINESS: Gwen’s Dog and Cat Grooming
ARRESTED: Gwendolyn Carol Johnson
D.O.B. 10-26-46 (60-years)
1130 Harmony Drive NE
Keizer, Oregon
Arrested for:
(10) Counts of Second Degree Animal Neglect Bail $ 25,000
SUMMARY:
On Friday, December 15, 2006 at about 1:00 p.m. a Keizer Police officer responded to a citizen’s complaint of dogs being kept in an outbuilding at 1130 Harmony Drive NE. The complainant indicated he was concerned for the welfare of the dogs because he had not seen anyone come to or from the outbuilding “all week.”
An officer responded to the location and was attempting to make contact with its occupants when he personally observed at least four (4) dogs that were individually caged on the west side of the residence. These dogs appeared to be in very poor health as if they had not received the minimum amount of care as required by law. “Minimum Care” means care sufficient to preserve the health and well-being of an animal as described in Oregon Revised Statute 167.310 (6).
The officer made contact with a resident who was identified as Gwendolyn Carol Johnson, a 60-year old female who said she resides and operates a dog and cat grooming business at this location.
The officer obtained consent to search the property after advising her of the complaint. The investigating officer discovered a total of eleven (11) dogs, all appeared to be Terriers, on the premises that appeared to be poorly cared for and in deteriorating health. Four (4) dogs were found in individual cages, some filled with urine and feces, on the west side of the residence, one (1) dog in a feces filled cage in the backyard of the residence, one (1) dog in another cage is the backyard of the residence, two (2) dogs in the dog grooming area of the residence, and four (4) dogs were located individually caged inside the outbuilding the complainant originally brought to the officers attention.
The Willamette Valley Humane Society was requested to respond to assist with this investigation and removal of these animals. They responded to the scene and were assisted by the Marion County Dog Control. Ten (10) dogs were removed from the premises and were taken to the Willamette Valley Humane Society for assessment and possible treatment for their health problems. All but one of the animals was voluntarily given to the Willamette Valley Humane Society by Gwendolyn Johnson. The exact condition of each dog is not known at this time. It is not known how serious these health problems are, or if any of these animals will need to be euthanized. The eleventh (11th) dog was released to its owner who returned to the location while officers continued to investigate. The eleventh (11th) dog had apparently been dropped off at the business earlier today to be groomed. Gwendolyn Johnson said she does not own the remaining ten (10) dogs that were removed. She told the investigating officer she takes these dogs from individuals who no longer want them and would provide care for them until she could find a new owner for them.
Gwendolyn Johnson was taken into custody for ten (10) counts of Second Degree Animal Neglect. She was transported to the Marion County Correctional Facility. No photograph is available for release by the Keizer Police Department at this time. Individual request for her photograph can be made of the Marion County Correctional Facility.
Anyone having additional information about this incident is asked to contact Officer Dan Carroll at 503-390-3713 Ext. 3530.

"Sheng hei" seems to be one of your favorite catch phrases, but I don't have a clue what you are posting about.
Could you please be more specific? Are you referring to some group of people in a chat room? Some iHub pumping crew? Or some cabal in Asia? Or maybe it's a movie you saw once?
Is there some specific iHub alias that you are referring to? Or some group of them?
I have no idea what this "sheng hei" group is you are posting about. But since you asked me -- directly -- I want to give you a chance to post in English and try and ask the questions you want answered:

MITD you read and decide. No gripe, no slander, just the facts.
The following is something Ben Glison & Kenneth Lay would be mighty proud of.
From the 2007 10K filed 4/15/2007.
Page 25 of the SEC Filing:
"... the Company has a single receivable from a customer in the Dominican Republic for $2,416,500. Terms of the invoice are 25%-60/25%-90/25%-180/25%-360. The initial installment was due September 20, 2007. This receivable is included in our revenues for 2007, Nine thousand dollars has been received on this invoice. The Company is relying upon collection of the balance of this invoice to expand its international sales. As of December 31, 2007, this receivable remained uncollected.
This receivable, according to the 3Q Filing was invoiced on June 20, 2007. And according to that filing the $2.4 million in sales generated $1.5 million in Net Income!!!
In other words the reported $12.7 million in revenues was really more like $10.3 million and the net income of $79,890 includes the stated net income from the 3Q filing, page F-13 of $1,518,199. Resulting in a loss of $1.4 million.
Sounds like strike one and strike two.
Now look at this, also on Page 25 of the 2007 10K Filing.
"On April 4, 2008, we received a letter from Northern indicating that Northern considered MIT in default of its obligations under the credit agreement, and declaring all amounts under the credit agreement due and payable in full immediately. Subsequent to this letter, we received oral assurances from Northern that they would continue to fund MIT for an additional 60 days from April 4. We can make no assurances that Northern will continue to fund MIT for that period, no assurances we will be able to pay Northern at the end of that period, and no assurances that we will be able to find alternate funding on terms favorable to the Company or at all."
Strike three. In the red and hanging by a thread.
Caveat Empty.
Keep your eye on everyone so I can sleep at night.

Silverado Mining - ROTFLMAO
There's more than profits and losses to the stock market
David Baines, Vancouver Sun
Published: Saturday, February 16, 2008
The stock market is a mysterious place. There are lots of companies that trade on the junior markets that never make money, but they manage to stay alive and keep trading.
The best example is Silverado Gold Mines Ltd. It was formed in 1963 -- 45 years ago -- and it has never had a profitable year. Since inception, it has lost more than $86 million US.
Yet its chairman, president and founder, 64-year-old Gary Anselmo, lives a very comfortable life. He lives in a $883,000 house in Richmond, he drives a 2006 Corvette, he eats at the finest restaurants and flies first class wherever he goes (he says because of a back injury).
Anselmo boasts, quite truthfully, that he takes no salary from Silverado, but this is not the whole truth. Over the years, he has earned millions of dollars through his private company, Tri-Con Mining Ltd., which acts as the operator for Silverado's two main projects -- the Nolan gold project near Fairbanks, Alaska, and its newer "green" project, a process for making coal water (an environmentally friendly substitute for petroleum-derived fuels).
Tri-Con bills the company at the rate of cost plus 15 per cent for overhead, plus 25 per cent for exploration services or 15 per cent for development and mining services. Over the years, this arrangement has put millions of dollars into Anselmo's pocket.
During the nine months ending August 2007 (the company's last reporting period), Tri-Con billed Silverado a total of $4.26 million. If just 15 per cent represents profit to Anselmo, that amounts to $639,000. Keep in mind, that's for the last nine months only.
Where does all this money come from? Every once in a while, when the treasury gets low, Silverado issues more shares for cash. Over the years, it has done this many times. There are now 778 million shares outstanding. And that's after a three-for-one share consolidation and a 10-for-one consolidation. The net result is that the company has manufactured more paper than a toilet paper factory.
Of course, people will only buy a stock if they feel they can unload it at a higher price. There are two ways to get the stock price higher. The first is for the company to do something productive. In this regard, Silverado has been a flop.
Every project the company has undertaken has ended in failure. In 1985, for example, Anselmo was touting the Mount Grant gold mine in Alaska, claiming it had "the potential for being one of the highest recovery producers in North America."
Commercial production began in November 1985, but a little more than a month later, operations were suspended "after initial operating results did not meet expectations."
The company shifted focus to its Nolan Creek project. In October 1992, Anselmo said projected earnings for the year ending November 1994 would be $8.96 million US. In fact, the company lost $3.1 million U.S.
Anselmo is still flogging the Nolan gold project, but he has also jumped on the "green" bandwagon. In 2000, he announced that Silverado would establish a plant in Alaska to produce coal water.
