LMMG got hit with one block trade (looks like 300 k shares done all at once. What a dunce) and the mm's pulled the bid rug from underneath two hours ago. Already rebounding. Might be one to play for a rebound.
I use PATH. They have these digital advertising TV screens in all the stations. Must be a mice contract for a small company. Sounds like they should be booking nice revenue --the ads are relentless. LOL
chart looks like one to watch-- I am trying to get some now at .073- and the blasted MM's are not even showing my bid. BASTAGES! Money flow has gone big time green in the past two weeks. May need to consolidate here, but thanks for the jingle on the news today. Rather be a little early than a little late. Waited too long on AMRE, and I just could not pull the trigger when it started to run. My fault.

Could be a bouncer, bb!!
TRBY chart
SVVS news today is big-- chart is good for a move with some room to run
LMMG needs to get over .08 before it really runs. Got this chart off another board on OTCBB's. Really looks like it is putting in a higher base. Might need a few days of sideways action before anything substantial o nthe upside- unless the company puts out some news. I really like this one for the short term AND long term
the real LMMG
LOL
LMMG at HOD
NMKT
Some others besides us here have noticed NMKT

NMKT getting dressd up for the prom! LOL
Where is your chat room, SA?
Watch NMKT this afternoon. GNET on bid. 200 day MA very close. Steady rise over the past few days.

AMRE looking good on rebound too.
If NMKT gets to .57--looks like next resistance is at .70.
hey, StockAnalyzer. Can you do one of your charts on LMMG? It just went through the 200D Moving Average and looks good to me. What would you say on this one? Thanks in advance
LMMG getting to da liftoff point
LMMG needs to get over .07--the 200DMA. Probably would coincide with 70 on RSI. It is a nice chart,though, StockAnalyzer
i like bb--I agree. Volume is too low on LMMG right now. 2 million plus is needed in my view. But I will take 25% gain in one day any day--even with low volume. LOL

LMMG does look like it could be getting jiggy.
If LMMG gets over .07--.10 should not be a prob
LMMG geting over the moving average hurdle

Thanks for the SVVS, guys. I am in.
Wait for more volume on PGNF. I traded it from .05 to .09 and .04 t0 .07. Just make some lunch money--or, actually, nice dinner money. LOL

For Wabash clothing firm, there are no strings attached
By Jenni Glenn
The Journal Gazette
A clothing company with local roots is sizing up opportunities for continued growth in the apparel industry.
Next Inc., which embellishes clothes with college and automobile logos at its Wabash plant, is expanding its range of products to capture more business from major retailers, including Kohl’s, J.C. Penney and Sears. The company acquired a children’s clothing line in 2003 that allows Next to offer stores a broader range of sizes. And Next continues to add to its roster of about 200 licenses so it can expand its product offerings. The company received a license in March to manufacture Notre Dame clothing.
Next strives for diversity in its clothing designs, the stores it supplies and the way its apparel reaches the customers, said William B. Hensley III, chief executive officer and president of the company. Spreading its business over many niches in the apparel industry allows Next to take advantage of trends and weather any industry downturns, he said.
The strategy is paying off, Hensley said. The company had $21.5 million in sales last year, up from $12.4 million two years earlier.
After the growth in sales, Next bought a warehouse in Wabash this year and is refurbishing it as part of a $500,000 project, Hensley said. The bulk of the company’s workforce – 120 to 150 employees, depending on the season – work at the Wabash plant and distribution center, said Hensley, who also works from that location. Next employs five at its Chattanooga, Tenn., headquarters.
Employees at the Wabash plant screen print and embroider plain garments shipped in from manufacturers in Asia and the Caribbean, Hensley said. The designs include college, wildlife, motor sports logos and entertainment themes such as the Three Stooges or James Dean.
The variety allows Next to offer a range of products to retail stores, Hensley said. The company produces apparel in all sizes from 12 months for infants to XXXL for adults. Next can offer a store such as Kohl’s the same shade of red in clothing from infant to adult sizes, Hensley said.
“We go into a retailer, and we become a total-solution provider with the retail opportunities, from the infants’ department to the men’s department and all the departments I mentioned in between,” he said.
Children’s clothing is a new field for Next, which manufactured onlyadult clothing until 2003. The company acquired Noblesville-based Lil’ Fan Inc., a children’s clothing company, for $100,000 and 180,000 Next shares in August 2003 so it could expand into the growing youth clothing market, said Jason Assad, Next’s director of investor relations. The acquisition allowed Next to sell clothing to multiple departments at stores such as Kohl’s and Sears.
Youth and women’s apparel are among the fastest growing segments of the $2.8 billion college apparel and merchandise industry, said Tammy Purves, director of corporate communications for the Collegiate Licensing Co. in Atlanta. These areas are growing because most apparel companies did not focus on them in the past, she said.
The Collegiate Licensing Co. helps colleges negotiate apparel licensing deals with clothing companies, including Next. The company ranked 18th in sales between July 1, 2004, and March 31, 2005, according to the Collegiate Licensing Co.’s ranking of apparel companies. The position shows Next is a major player in the industry, Purves said.
“To be on our top 25 list, they are a pretty substantial manufacturer,” she said. Nike USA Inc. has topped the list since 1999.
College apparel is the core of Next’s business. Even though colleges are becoming more selective about which companies they allow to produce their apparel, Next is receiving new licenses, such as the Notre Dame one.
Notre Dame has licensed about 250 companies to produce university merchandise, said Michael S. Low, the university’s director of licensing. The university added Next to the list even though it plans to reduce the number of licensed companies in the next two years.
“Because we have so many licensees in those (apparel) categories, a company has to work quite a bit harder to show us that they have something unique to offer us,” Low said.
Licensing Next was an appealing idea because the company sells its merchandise to a wide range of retail stores, from Kmart to Cracker Barrel, Low said. Notre Dame wants university clothing to be widely available to alumni and fans, and Next’s distribution network fit in with that goal, he said.
“They had excellent distribution, in many cases distribution we felt we were underrepresented in,” Low said.
Next’s network is wider than traditional retail stores. The company sells its automobile apparel in car dealerships and markets its college apparel at campus bookstores, Hensley said. Consumers are shifting away from traditional stores and are spending money on event merchandise, he said.
“You have to look at every channel you can to develop and take advantage of the consumer dollars being spent, and that’s just not traditional retail today,” he said.
Next also has a way to capture a share of online spending. The company sells its merchandise directly to consumers through Web sites such as www.campustraditionsusa.com and www.americanbiker.net. Employees in Wabash start embellishing the clothing when the consumer places an online order, Hensley said.
In the past six months, Next added more novelty licenses to its stable, including this year’s 50th anniversary of James Dean’s death and the Three Stooges. The company looks for licenses that have long-term appeal to multiple generations of consumers, Hensley said.
“We don’t take a lot of risk with our license portfolio,” he said. “We try to work with things that have long product lifecycles, that aren’t trendy. They tend to go with long-term product cycles that don’t have a lot of risk involved.”
College apparel is a growing field because it also has stable, cross-generation appeal, Hensley said.
College sports continue to generate publicity that boosts the industry, he said.
College merchandise sales totaled $2.8 billion last year, a 10 percent increase from 2003, said Purves of the Collegiate Licensing Co. Non-apparel segments of the market are growing fastest, but sales also are increasing on the apparel side, she said. Companies can capitalize on the strong fan base colleges and universities have, she said.
“We do see there is some opportunity for growth out there,” she said.
Next still has opportunities to sell more products to existing and new customers, Hensley said. Retail stores buy apparel separately for children’s, men’s and women’s departments, so Next is working to make sure its current customers buy clothing for all of their departments from Next, he said.
“We think until we sell every department within every account and take advantage, our job is not done,” he said.
It is 10-Q time this week. Could be interesting for alot of recently weak stocks. ONEV,LMMG and MAGR on watch. IWEB has acted well after their 1 for 80 reverse split too.
Keeping an eye on DRVW --but only if it can get past .02.
TLCO has developed into a nice swing trader. Goes up on high volume and declines on low volume. I have done three trades since December for 25-35% gains.
Watching for a pick up in volume from here for another swing chipped. Obviously, you do not buy more than -$3,000 worth at a time, Just an idea for those scared to jump on a momentum play that has already moved up alot.
You may have that .065 on LMMG, eagle eye.
Congrats on the early position.
Good action on LMMG
So excited, I forgot to post the chart. LOL

It is about time with LMMG. It was like "I fell and I can't get up"!! Bought some more today. Bet it heads back to .10
