My press works wonders
Quite the high roller are we DG?
Looking real good all. The magical recipe here reads "just add volume."
There we go. Now those 127k I picked up this morning are profitable finally. :)
CCTR +85% and climbing since we picked up some yesterday afternoon.
Once again remember the golden rule, take your profits!
Got a million in volume today. Nice big buy EOD.
CCTR is looking sick. Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.
CCTR is going to move hard again tomorrow I think.
$20k buy wow.
It's looking pretty good bax. I picked up some myself today at .005. Let's hope it moves!
CCTR - load on dips multi-day run on the way.
CCTR +30% already since our .0154 recommendation. I think this continues to run tomorrow perhaps if it can finish strong.
CCTR weeeeeeeeee. That was quick.
Looks good DB. We're seeing the same things here.
Yeah it churned in that +15-20% range well today. Did you do pick up any of those sub .005's? I was selfishly watching for a little dip below .0048 but it never came.
Should see a little resistance at .03 also. We have a few folks sitting there waiting to sell from a previous big volume run. Then it's off to the races. :)
Nice day for BFHJ. Closed with some positive momentum too. Hope you all made some money on it.
What do you know a form-t above the closing price for once!
Nice work tom. Way to get the ball rolling for the good guys again
I got in an out at a near 10% gain today. Not huge money, but beats losing.
We'll have to agree to disagree that pinkies don't work on TA. Thank you for trying to steer me the correct direction here though.
Looks like we got a retailer who is itching to get out before close. No reason for NITE to drop to .024 besides someone just trying to get rid of their shares for the day.
Someone put him out of his/her misery and take their shares off their hands at that price. It'll be a steal soon.

Homeland Security Capital Corporation Announces Second Quarter Results
Homeland Security Capital Corporation (OTCBB:HOMS), an international provider of specialized technology-based radiological, nuclear, environmental, disaster relief, and security solutions to government and commercial customers, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Revenue for the quarter was $26.6 million compared to $22.2 million for the same period last year. Operating income for the quarter was $1.3 million or $0.02 per share compared to a net loss of $0.4 million or $0.01 per share for the same period last year. Net income attributable to common stockholders, after excluding preferred stock dividends and minority interests, was $0.8 million or $0.02 per share compared to a net loss of $0.7 million or $0.01 per share for the same period last year. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the quarter was $2.7 million compared to $0.4 million for the previous year’s quarter. EBITDAS (EBITDA before stock based compensation) for the quarter was $3.0 million compared to $1.3 million in the previous year’s quarter.
Revenue for the six months was $47.4 million compared to $39.9 million for the same period last year. Operating income for the six months was $0.5 million or $0.01 per share compared to a net loss of $2.4 million or $0.05 per share for the same period last year. Net loss attributable to common stockholders, after excluding preferred stock dividends and minority interests, for the six months was $0.4 million or $0.01 per share compared to a net loss of $3.0 million or $0.06 per share for the same period last year. EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) for the six months was $3.1 million compared to a negative $0.9 million for the previous year’s six months. EBITDAS (EBITDA before stock based compensation) for the six months was $3.7 million compared to $0.3 million in the previous year’s six months.
At December 31, 2009 there were 45,294,009 common shares outstanding.
The Company reported funded backlog of $95.7 million at December 31, 2009. Backlog reflects new additions, less revenue earned and any adjustments for contract cancellations. Our funded backlog increased in the quarter by approximately $27.5 million.
C. Thomas McMillen, HOMS Chairman and CEO, stated, “The Company has achieved a milestone with record revenue, operating income and EBITDA for the current quarter, a record of which we are proud. We continue to organically grow our revenue and reduce expenses. I am particularly pleased with our increasing gross margins (21.7% in the quarter and 19.7% in the six months) and expense reductions (1.4% in the quarter and 3.4% in the six months, measured year over year), which can be credited to the dedicated oversight by our subsidiary’s senior management”. McMillen continued “At this point we are ahead of our annual plan, but remain vigilant in continuing to press the momentum we have gained thus far this year.” The Company consolidates the results of subsidiaries Safety & Ecology Holdings Corporation, Nexus Technologies Group, Inc., Polimatrix, Inc. and Homeland Security Capital Corporation, the holding company. The Company measures its operating performance against plan taking into consideration EBITDAS adjustments and one time charges.
Financial Measures In addition to the results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, in this press release, the Company presents EBITDA and EBITDAS which are non-GAAP measures. EBITDA is determined by taking the net income before preferred dividends and minority interests and adding back amortization of intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of property and equipment, taxes and interest expense (income), net. EBITDAS is determined by taking EBITDA and then adding back stock based compensation expense. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measurements, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of the Company's reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors because these metrics provide a more focused measure of operating results. These metrics are an integral part of the Company's internal reporting to measure operations of the company and the performance of senior management.
Additional Information In March 2008, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with YA Global Investments, L.P. (“YA”) pursuant to which the Company sold to YA 10,000 shares of its Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series H Stock”). The Series H Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial ratio of 33,333 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series H Stock, subject to adjustments, including Safety achieving certain earnings milestones, as defined, for the calendar years ending December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Safety operates its business on a fiscal year ending June 30. Safety achieved the first milestone for the calendar year ending December 31, 2008. However, based upon information available as of the date of this filing, the second financial milestone for the calendar year ended December 31, 2009, has not been satisfied, resulting in a potential adjustment to the conversion ratio yielding approximately 56,300 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series H Stock, or approximately a potential additional 230,000,000 shares of our Common Stock in the aggregate.
Management is currently discussing with YA the possibility of a waiver or amendment of any adjustment to the Series H Stock conversion ratio, however there can be no assurances YA will waive or amend the adjustment, if any, to the Series H Stock conversion ratio. YA has not exercised its conversion rights as of the date of this filing.
In June 2009, the Company entered into an amendment to its debt facilities with YA to extend $2,500,000 of its outstanding debt held by YA to October 1, 2010 and to extend $10,560,000 of its outstanding debt to April 1, 2011. In exchange for the extensions, the Company agreed that the effective rate on all its debt with YA would be increased in January 2010 to 15% in the event the Company failed to win a significant procurement. As a result of the Company’s failure to be awarded the procurement, the interest rate on all the Company’s debt has been increased to 15% effective January 1, 2010.
Conference Call The Company will host an earnings conference call at 4:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday, February 23, 2010. During the call, C. Thomas McMillen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chris P. Leichtweis, President and Michael T. Brigante, Chief Financial Officer, will discuss the Company's performance and financial results.

EOD panic sellers or day traders flipping for 10%
Some cheapies available here. Let's snatch 'em up.
Margarita Monday my friend. We have a place here that does $0.99 margaritas each Monday. They aren't the strongest, but if you put back 5 dollars worth you wouldn't know it. lol
So you were celebrating before the divi news came out last night? This may be cause for a back-to-backer Taber
Keep in mind also that from time to time some thoughts may show up on twitter first simply cause it's easier to post on the move. We're tied to the PC to post here. So follow us if you have an account @pennypx
I also got one more that I think could be a monster but it needs to shape up a bit before I talk about it. Chart is coming together and they have some solid things coming down the pipe for PR's. Look for it in the next week or two hopefully. Until then it's still a bit risky.
Oh, and as for our feature BFHJ. It's just starting guys. This chart is looking sick. Hold those shares tight and add on dips!
.028 right TPK? If it gets to .28 most all of these folks will be gone and a new cast of characters will be chatting here lol.
In case anybody is wondering what else I'm looking at I'm still keeping an eye out on AEXP, BOCX, DRGZ, & EEGC. All 4 charts look pretty good in my eyes. Just need volume to build some momo.
Plenty of good looking stocks out there right now. Anyone else watching an interesting one or two that they care to share?
This is shaping up for a monster run. Wow.
The shares are getting soaked up almost immediately on any dip we have. Good sign.
ETMM sure just backed off. Went from .026 to .04. Now we just need take whatever shares HDSN has left off his hands.
Most likely more shorting.
