1) ZACKS RANK BUY STOCKS
==============================================
Zacks #1 Rank stocks average a 31.8% annual return. Every day
on Zacks.com we highlight four new Zacks Rank Buy stocks. Each
individual stock is chosen based on how well they match the
criteria for the four main schools of investing: Aggressive
Growth, Momentum, Growth & Income and Value.
Aggressive Growth - Valmont Industries, Inc. (VMI)
Valmont Industries, Inc. (VMI) only has one analyst following
the stock, but he raised his 2007 estimate from $2.78 to $2.96
per share on February 16. Similarly, next year's estimates
have risen 35 cents to $3.40 per share over the past 60 days.
The stock is attractively valued at 17.4x next year's
estimate. Read the full analysis on VMI at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2498
Growth & Income - Tele Norte Leste Participacoes (TNE)
Investors should be attracted to Tele Norte Leste
Participacoes (TNE) for its growth prospects as well as its
healthy dividend payout. The company has completed its major
capital expenditures, which should leave it in better shape to
pay down debt and increase its dividends. Furthermore, the
strong Brazilian economic environment will continue to help
the company. Read the full analysis on TNE at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2499
Momentum - AG Edwards Inc. (AGE)
AG Edwards Inc. (AGE) recently reported a 28% earnings
surprise, with every segment posting full-year growth. As a
result, the stock is trading at 52-week highs on stronger than
average volume, increasing the potential for continued
momentum. Read the analysis of AGE at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2500
Value - Humana Inc. (HUM)
Humana Inc. (HUM) recently surpassed fourth-quarter
expectations by 4.6% on earnings that more than doubled from
the previous period. Despite faster growth, the stock trades
at a discount to both the market and the industry. While
possible Medicare Advantage cuts warrant attention, concern
may be overblown. Read the full analysis on HUM at

2) SCREEN OF THE WEEK
==============================================
Zacks.com offers a unique stock search strategy from Kevin
Matras each week to help you Profit from the Pros. Each week,
Kevin shares with you another winning screen he has discovered
using the Research Wizard software from Zacks Investment
Research. Learn more about the Research Wizard at:
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2335
Best Buys
Here's a new screen that was created with the Research Wizard.
By popular demand, I'm excited to share it again in this
article.
It's a very robust strategy in and of itself and works
exceedingly well with many of our other strategies that come
loaded with the Research Wizard program.
Parameters:
* Zacks Rank <= 2 Or
The % of Brokers Ranking the Stocks a Strong Buy/Buy >= 50%
(I'm looking for stocks that have a Strong Buy or Buy Rating
from Zacks or that have 50% or more of the Brokers Ranking it
a Strong Buy or Buy)
* Price to Sales <= .75
(A Price to Sales Ratio of 1 means you're paying $1 for every
$1 of sales the company makes. A P/S Ratio of .75 means you're
paying only 75 cents for every $1 of sales the company makes -
which is a great value.)
* ROE >= 15
(This is net income divided by common equity and is a measure
of how good a company is being run. In other words, a company
with an ROE means that 15 cents of assets are being created
for every one dollar of shareholders equity.)
* Current Price >= 5
* Average 20-Day Volume >= 100,000
(I want to make sure it's well traded.)
* % Rating Change over the last 4 Weeks = Top # 5
(This narrows the screen down to the 5 stocks (always only 5
stocks) with the biggest, (i.e. best) increase in the Average
Broker Rating.)
Results
I ran a series of separate tests over the last six-year time
span using a four-week holding period. Each run was started on
a different date to eliminate coincidence and to verify
robustness.
In 2001, this screen showed an average compounded gross return
of 51.4%.
In 2002, it showed a 36% return.
2003; a whopping 91.2% return.
2004 showed a 35.9% return.
2005 was 44.4%.
And in 2006, the avg. compounded gross returns were 58.4%.
I've also been experimenting with a slightly higher percentage
of Strong Buys/Buys and have found that 60% does very well
too. But anything higher than that starts diminishing returns
instead of increasing them.
Give this strategy a try in your own trading and see how it
can help you pick better stocks.
This strategy always only picks five stocks per run.
Here are three of them for this week (Tuesday, 4/3/07):
ADM Archer Daniel Midland Co.
BGFV Big Five Sporting Goods Corp.
XRTX Xyratex Ltd.
(This strategy is now available in the Research Wizard in the
SoW strategies folder.)

3) ZACKS EQUITY RESEARCH
====================================================
With energy prices again starting to take news headlines these
days, we wanted to speak with senior analyst Matthew Thurmond
about how the coal industry is getting along these days. He
was available for a few questions.
With 2006 numbers in, how did the coal sector fare last year?
Well, coal is a fairly fragmented commodity business, so the
key data points to look at are supply, demand and price.
Supply for the year was up just under 3%, to around 1.16
billion tons. Surprisingly, demand was actually down about 1%
for the year, to around 1.11 billion tons.

****************************************************************
Zacks Equity Research continued...
This base economic squeeze, along with year-over-year pricing
declines for oil and gas, led to lower coal pricing. For
Central Appalachian coal, pricing has dropped sharply from the
post-hurricane peaks we saw at year-end 2005. Last year, per-
ton pricing dropped from the high $50's to around $40. Year-
to-date, pricing has remained mostly unchanged, continuing to
hover around the $40 mark.
How have producers responded to the lower pricing levels?
As I mentioned in the last interview, many of the larger coal
miners have taken steps to curb the price decline. The three
miners I cover for example, Arch Coal (ACI), Peabody (BTU) and
Consol (CNX), have all been paring production.
The miners I follow all seem to be wary of bringing new supply
on the market with the current choppy pricing environment.
This production discipline is good for the sector and helps
ensure that per-ton rates won't get driven down sharply. For
example, Arch dropped its 2007 production guidance from 140
million tons to just over 130 million and Consol is refusing
to increase production unless the market clearly demands it.
Peabody, the world's largest coal miner, is putting off its
massive "School Creek" mine build-out until at least 2009. So
overall, my coverage base is able to keep pricing and margins
stable by curbing their production levels.
Another factor worth mentioning is that larger miners such as
these are slightly insulated from near-term spot price
volatility. In fact, during the fourth quarter, each of my
three miners reported fairly stable year-over-year pricing.
These larger miners benefit from long-term sales contracts.
They sign these with utilities that are looking for a reliable
supply stream. The miners are usually able to leverage their
reliable supply base and negotiate and lock-in more favorable
rates than what is seen in the spot market.
Coal gasification is one environmentally friendly way of using
coal as a fuel source. Is there any news on the progress of
this as a useful technology?
Coal gasification is coming along, but still very slowly. For
those who don't know, the main reason to "gasify" coal is to
reduce the pollutants released when it is burned in power
plants. If burned as a gas, the pollutants can be more easily
separated and in many cases, sold as useful byproducts. Since
coal-fired generators producer over 50% of domestic
electricity, the widespread adoption of coal gasification
plants could significantly reduce air pollution.
Another benefit that has been talked about more and more
lately is carbon sequestration. When transforming coal into a
combustible gas, the CO2 can be removed in a concentrated
stream. This makes it more economical to store the greenhouse
gas in, say, a depleted oil well or an underground aquifer.

4) ZACKS WEALTH MANAGEMENT
====================================================
Every week, Zacks Wealth Management provides informative
articles on how to build and protect wealth. Today's topic is:
Diversifying your Tax Risk
With the Roth IRA now permanently in place, and since all
individuals will have the ability to convert Traditional IRA
assets into Roth IRA assets starting in 2010, it is now a good
time to strategize whether and what type of tax-deferred
accounts to fund for retirement and beyond.
Keep in mind, the IRS is going to give you the tax break on
the front end (pre-tax contributions to 401K) or on the back
end (tax-free distributions from Roth IRA) but not both.
Deciding whether to fund retirement vehicles on a pre- or
post-tax basis will be based upon:
* Current cash flow
* Current and future tax bracket
* Changes in tax code during one's lifetime
By contributing or converting assets into a Roth IRA in
addition to assets in a Traditional IRA, you can decide at
anytime in retirement whether its more beneficial to take a
tax-free distribution or a distribution taxed as ordinary
income. What if you are in a lower tax bracket at age 70 1/2
years or older? It may make sense to take a distribution from
a Traditional IRA and allow the Roth IRA to continue growing.
In fact, even after 70 1/2 , you can make contributions to a
Roth IRA if you have earned income.
The Roth IRA is also an effective planning tool to pass assets
down to beneficiaries to be distributed tax-free -the younger
the beneficiary, the better!
For those of you who make both pre- and post-tax contributions
to your 401k, at the point you leave your company or retire
and rollover the assets to an IRA, you have a couple of
options.
You will want to go two different directions on the pre- and
post-tax portion. The pre-tax portion will go into the IRA
Rollover. The post-tax portion can go into a non-qualified
account. The other option pertaining only to the post-tax
portion is to transfer it into a non-deductible IRA. Depending
on your modified AGI (before 2010), you can subsequently
convert that portion into a Roth IRA, understanding any growth
on the post-tax contributions will be taxed as ordinary income
at conversion. The upside is the distributions from the Roth
IRA will eventually be tax-free.
Again, whether it makes sense to take these steps will be a
function of your proximity to retirement, tax bracket, and
also not having too much "stuck" in tax-deferred vehicles
creating estate tax exposure. You must consider all these
factors in determining the optimal mix between qualified and
non-qualified accounts and then determine the appropriate
qualified accounts to fund.
Obviously, more options exist today to manage your retirement
in a way to keep more money in your pocket. Consequently,
these issues have become more complex and require a full-
planning process where all scenarios are explored. But by
taking these steps now, and determining the optimal amount to
defer, you will come out ahead in the long-run.

have your accounts structured, feel free to contact me at

2) PROFIT TRACKS
==============================================
Zacks.com is proud to share with you some of the best trading
strategies that truly allow you to Profit from the Pros. Today
we highlight...
Profit Tracks: Return on Equity (ROE)
This Profit Track strategy uses Return on Equity (ROE) to
discover solid stocks. ROE is one of the quickest ways to
gauge whether a company is creating assets or gobbling up
investors' cash.
ROE = income / common equity
Here are four stocks that make the grade for the Return on
Equity (ROE) Profit Track:
Alliant Techsystems, Inc. (ATK) will announce financial
results for the fiscal fourth quarter on May 4, 2007. The
company reported third-quarter results in early February.
Earnings per share increased on a year-over-year basis and
topped the consensus estimate by 6%. The company also raised
its guidance for fiscal 2007 and analysts followed suit. The
current full-year 2007 consensus estimate moved up to $5.20
per share. Two months ago, Wall Street was forecasting $5.08.
The company is creating assets as evidenced by its ROE of
29.75. The company's price to sales ratio is 0.83. Continue
your research on ATK at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2389
Big Lots, Inc. (BIG) has a ROE of 11.29 and a price to sales
ratio is 0.72. The company posted fourth-quarter results in
early March, stating that during 2006, it restored consistency
in comp sales growth, turned inventory faster, and generated
more cash than any other period in its history. Quarterly
earnings per share beat the consensus estimate by 15.5% and
more than doubled year-over-year. Continue your research on
BIG at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2390
United America Indemnity, Ltd (INDM) satisfies the criteria of
this Profit Track as evidenced by its ROE of 12.92 and price
to sales ratio is 0.91. INDM released fourth-quarter earnings
of 79 cents per share in early February. The result eclipsed
Wall Street estimates by 39% and topped the year-ago total.
The company reported quarterly earnings per share that were
ahead of the consensus estimate four times out of the past
five quarters. Continue your research on INDM at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2391
Keystone Automotive Industries, Inc. (KEYS) recently announced
that it intends to appeal a ruling by an administrative judge
in a patent suit filed against the company by Ford Global
Technologies LLC. KEYS offers a ROE of 11.28 and a price to
sales ratio is 0.79. In late January, the company noted that
it delivered record earnings and sales for its fiscal third
quarter. Earnings per share totaled 57 cents, which surpassed
the previous year's 44 cents and jumped ahead of the consensus
estimate by 21%. Continue your research on KEYS at

3) ZACKS EQUITY RESEARCH

With gas prices again heading north as the spring season
emerges, we wanted to speak with senior analyst Paul Raman,
CFA about how this - and other issues - are currently
affecting the automotive industry.
Where are U.S. automakers in terms of a turnaround these days?
Are you expecting big things in 2007?
U.S. automakers are continuing to cut costs in order to be
competitive with their overseas rivals. GM (GM) has witnessed
impressive earnings gains due to cost cutting, while Ford (F)
has not yet done so. I expect more of this basic trend in
2007.

Zacks Equity Research cont...
Are Japanese automakers still taking large amounts of market
share from its U.S. brethren, or is this finally slowing down?
Overseas car makers have 37% of the U.S. market, and this is
still rising. This is due to better quality cars that are gas
efficient and the U.S. public does not mind paying more for.
With gas prices going up again, do you expect to see more
hybrid cars emerging from U.S. automakers? How fast is the
hybrid market growing?
I expect to see more hybrids, but right now they are only 1-2%
of the market because they are expensive. It is growing, but
it takes time to introduce new products.
Which companies are your top Buy recommendations at this time?
Any Sells you'd care to mention?
I have GM rated a Buy. GM has witnessed noticeable earnings
improvement due to cost cutting, and is still a cheap stock at
only 7-8 times earnings.

4) OPTIONS CENTER
==============================================
Zacks has partnered with the leading options experts,
Schaeffer's Investment Research, to provide you the best
options commentary, research, and trading tools on the market
today.
Free Online Options Research at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2664
Zacks/Schaeffer's Options Trading service at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2665
Here is this week's article on how Schaeffer's Tools can help
you Profit with Options.
Last week, we looked at the Most Active Calls filter on Zacks.
This week we'll switch gears and check out the Put/Call Open
Interest Ratio Above 1.0 filter.
A put/call open interest ratio is simply the ratio of total
put open interest to total call open interest. We compute
Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) based on open
interest in the front three months only. These near-term
options tend to attract a more speculative crowd, the
sentiment of which is more useful for shorter-term trading.
Before looking at a particular stock, let's address our
Schaeffer's methodology. We are contrarian-based investors,
indicating that we want to see skepticism toward an
outperforming stock. On the other hand, we typically like to
see optimism toward an underperformer. In our eyes, too much
optimism is a sign that nearly everyone who wants to invest in
a particular stock already has. Just because a stock sees
substantial optimism doesn't mean that we will blindly short
that particular security; we need to see some negative price
action or a major catalyst for a downside move in order to
pull the trigger in most cases. Other indicators we use to
measure overall sentiment include short interest, magazine
cover stories, media comments, and analyst ratings.
Looking over the list of stocks with SOIRs above 1.0, I
noticed Kohl's (KSS). The security's SOIR rests at 1.64, as
put open interest easily outweighs call open interest among
options with fewer than three months until expiration. What's
more, this reading sits at an annual high. In other words, at
no time during the past year have options speculators been
more bearishly aligned against the shares.
Options players aren't the only ones who have their doubts
about the retailer. The number of KSS shares sold short has
risen to 10.4 million, resulting in a respectable short-
interest ratio of 3.7. An unwinding of these bearish bets
could supply the security with some short-covering support.
Meanwhile, Wall Street is split on the firm's prospects.
Zacks reports that KSS has earned eight "buy" ratings, seven
"holds," and one "strong sell." This configuration leaves
ample room for potential upgrades, which could supply the
shares with a nice boost.
From a technical perspective, KSS has been a stellar
performer. The equity has easily outpaced both the S&P 500
Index (SPX) and its peers in the S&P Retail Index (RLX) on a
monthly basis since January 2006. What's more, the stock is
currently sitting on a year-to-date gain of 11%, while the SPX
has tacked on less than 0.2%.
Last week, the equity broke through staunch resistance in the
74-75 region, which had capped KSS on a number of occasions
since late October. The stock hit its highest level since May
2002, and is now less than 4% away from its all-time high of
$78.83. Furthermore, the security has been in a strong
uptrend along the support of its 10-week and 20-week moving
averages since mid-February 2006. During this time frame, the
equity has suffered only four weekly closes below both of
these trendlines.
Overall, this combination of growing pessimism against the
stock's strong technical backdrop has bullish implications
from a contrarian perspective. As traders shed their short
positions and jump on the stock's bandwagon, the equity should
enjoy a nice boost in buying pressure.
Make sure to continue utilizing all of the valuable filters on
these pages for more money-making ideas. Moreover, don't be
afraid to make a few paper trades in order to see what
strategy works best for you. Please remember that, when it
comes to options, the majority of your trades are going to be
losers. Don't get discouraged, because that's the beauty of
the leverage that options provide. It takes only a few winners
out of every 10 trades to make you a very happy investor.
Thanks for reading, best of luck in your trading!

** Tactics that Work in Good and Bad Markets **
***********************************************
Dear subscriber,
The markets might be affected by two religious holidays this
week: Passover and Good Friday.
Passover starts tonight and many traders could leave early to
prepare for the holiday. (Jewish holidays start at sundown.)
This could result in lighter-than-usual trading volumes this
afternoon.
March employment data (changes in nonfarm
payrolls and the unemployment rate) is scheduled for release
on Friday morning. However, the markets will be in observance
of Good Friday. As a result, selling pressure could
be elevated on Thursday if traders are reluctant to hold
positions over a three-day weekend with an important economic
report coming out.
Wishing you prosperity,

==============================================
Zacks #1 Rank stocks average a 31.8% annual return. Every day
on Zacks.com we highlight four new Zacks Rank Buy stocks. Each
individual stock is chosen based on how well they match the
criteria for the four main schools of investing: Aggressive
Growth, Momentum, Growth & Income and Value.
Aggressive Growth - Lazard, Ltd. (LAZ)
Lazard, Ltd. (LAZ) has exceeded earnings estimates in five out
of the past six quarters. Earnings estimates for this year
have jumped 17 cents to $2.80 per share over the past 60 days.
Next year's numbers have risen an impressive 58 cents to $3.18
per share. With the Mergers & Acquisition picture still
looking bright, LAZ's earnings should continue to grow nicely.
Read the full analysis on LAZ at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2510
Growth & Income - BorgWarner, Inc. (BWA)
BorgWarner, Inc. (BWA) exceeded analysts' earnings
expectations in nine out of the past 11 quarters. In early-
February, the company upped its full-year 2007 earnings per
share guidance by 10 cents to between $4.70 and $4.90.
Analysts responded to the company's bullish guidance by
adjusting their profit forecasts upward. On Nov 16, the Board
of Directors authorized a 6% increase in its quarterly cash
dividend to 17 cents per share. Read the full analysis on BWA

Momentum - Millicom International Cellular S.A. (MICC)
Millicom International Cellular S.A. (MICC) has reestablished
its upward trend and appears ready to test 52-week highs.
Closes above the 52-week high should be looked to as possible

day moving average signaling a trend reversal. Read the full
analysis on MICC at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2512
Value - BASF Aktiengesellschaft (BF)
BASF Aktiengesellschaft (BF) recently reported solid results
for the fourth quarter and full year of 2006. The Zacks #1

==============================================
2) PROFIT TRACKS
==============================================
Zacks.com is proud to share with you some of the best trading
strategies that truly allow you to Profit from the Pros. Today
we highlight...
Profit Tracks: PEG Ratio
This strategy uses the PEG Ratio to find attractively priced
stocks poised for price appreciation. The PEG Ratio is simply
the P/E (Price divided by Earnings) of a stock divided by its
5-year projected growth rate. Too often investors think of
value investing being the antithesis of growth investing. The
beauty of using PEG is that you can find value stocks even
amongst hot growth stocks. Let's take a closer look.
A company with a P/E Ratio of 20 and a Growth Rate of 10% will
have a PEG Ratio of 2.0 (20 / 10 = 2.0).
While a company with a P/E Ratio of 40 and a Growth Rate of
50% will have a PEG Ratio of only 0.8 ( 40 / 50 = 0.8)
The stock with the P/E of 40 is actually the better bargain
since its PEG Ratio is lower (0.8) implying it's undervalued
with more upside potential. In general, a PEG value of less
than 1 is considered undervalued while greater than 1 is
thought to be fully valued to overvalued. The lower the PEG,
the better the value, because the investor would be paying
less for each unit of earnings growth.
Here are four stocks that make the grade for the PEG Ratio
Profit Track:
GigaMedia Ltd. (GIGM) offers a PEG ratio of 0.54. The company
recently announced fourth-quarter earnings of 17 cents per
share, surpassing the consensus estimate by 42%. GIGM noted
that its net profit grew over four times in 2006, and its
record fourth-quarter operating results and recent strategic
developments point to an even stronger 2007. Continue your
research on GIGM at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2254
The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (MTW), a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong
Buy) company, sports a PEG ratio of 0.50. The company recently
increased its full-year 2007 earnings outlook to a range of
$4.20 to $4.30 per share from its previous guidance of $3.85
to $4.00. Wall Street followed suit by increasing one month-
ago forecasts of $4.03 per share to the current level of $4.30.
In late January, MTW posted fourth-quarter earnings of 69
cents per share, before special items, which eclipsed the
consensus estimate by a penny. Continue your research on MTW
at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2255
National Oilwell Varco, Incorporated (NOV), another Zacks #1
Rank (Strong Buy) company, will release results for the first
quarter in late April. In early February, NOV reported fourth-
quarter earnings of $1.35 per share, beating the consensus
estimate by 29% and outperforming the year-prior period. The
company mentioned that each of its three segments reported
higher year-over-year sales and profits for the year. NOV's
PEG ratio currently stands at 0.52. Continue your research on
NOV at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2256
Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc (SPR) released financial
results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2006 in early
February. SPR stated that during 2006, it expanded its
customer base in the 100 seat plus market through the
acquisition of Spirit Europe, won yet to be announced programs
with new customers and successfully managed production rate
increases on existing programs. Not only does this value stock
satisfy the criteria of this Profit Track, but with a PEG
ratio of 0.21, it currently offers the lowest PEG ratio under
the PEG Profit Track. Continue your research on SPR at

Two religious holidays will have an impact on trading activity
this week. Passover starts on Monday at sundown. Trading
volume could lighten in the afternoon as some traders will
likely leave early to help prepare for first night seders. Apr
6 is Good Friday and the U.S. markets will be closed in
observance. Profit taking could occur late on Thursday if
traders are nervous about holding positions over a three day
weekend.
Only 27 companies are scheduled to report this week. Five are
in the S&P 500: Best Buy (BBY), Circuit City (CC), Monsanto
(MON), Micron Technology (MU) and Constellation Brands (STZ).
Although first-quarter earnings season will "officially" start
on Apr 10, the bulk of profit reports will not start being
released until after tax day.

Best of Zacks Equity Research continued...
There have been 72 first-quarter reports from companies within
the Zacks Rank universe1 released so far. Positive surprises
are outnumbering negative surprises by a margin of 1.9:1.
Average growth is 7.7%, but this number is dragged down by
Hartmax (HMX) and Saba Software (SABA). Both companies swung
to a loss after a reporting a profit a year earlier. Excluding
these companies changes the average growth rate to 13.4%.
Among companies within the S&P 1500 that have reported, the
average growth rate is 10.1%.
On the economic front, the ISM will release its March
manufacturing index on Monday. March vehicle sales data will
be published on Tuesday. Wednesday brings February factory
orders and the March ISM services index. The weekly initial
jobless claims report will be published on Thursday. March
employment data is scheduled for release on Friday, even
though the markets will be closed. (This could affect trading
on Thursday afternoon.) February wholesale trade and consumer
credit numbers are also on tap.
Companies That Could Issue Negative Earnings Surprises During
the Week of Apr 2 - 6
Earlier this week, Circuit City (CC) projected that fiscal
2007 domestic same-stores sales growth likely came in at 6%
versus previous guidance for 7% to 8% growth. One-third of the
21 covering analysts promptly cut their forecasts for fourth-
quarter earnings in response, causing the consensus estimate
to fall two cents to 64 cents per share. The Most Recent
Consensus is more bearish at 62 cents per share. The
electronics retailer missed third-quarter expectations by a
margin of 14 cents per share. Circuit City is scheduled to
report on Wednesday, Apr 4, before the start of trading.
Concerns about DRAM pricing have caused brokerage analysts to
cut their quarterly projections ahead of Micron Technology's
(MU) fiscal second-quarter report. During the past 30 days,
six analysts have revised their projections. The combined cuts
have resulted in a consensus estimate that calls for profits
of just two cents per share, five cents below the forecast of
just 30 days ago. The Most Recent Consensus is even more
bearish and calls for a loss of six cents per share. MU has
missed expectations once in the past two quarters. Micron
Technology is scheduled to report on Wednesday, Apr 4.

4) Research Digest
==============================================
What is Wall Street saying about your stocks? You'll find the
answer in our exclusive Research Digest reports. Here is a
synopsis of stocks with recent broker upgrades:
Tiffany & Company's (TIF) Average Broker Recommendation is up
to 2.00. The company's brand strength remains the key to its
long-term growth, according to most of the analysts polled at
Zacks Research Digest. In addition, the company continues to
add variety to product offerings at all price points, with
fresh additions to the lineup procured indigenously as well as
from its other designers. The recent weakness in consumer
spending in Japan has created an additional challenge for the
company. But, analysts believe Tiffany's initiatives, such as
new merchandise, increased marketing, new management and
updated or relocated stores should pay off in the long run.
Read the Research Digest report on TIF (Premium) at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=3401
Morgan Stanley (MS) put together a strong fiscal first
quarter, which helped the global financial services firm's
Average Broker Recommendation rise to 2.10 of late. Over the
next two years, analysts polled at Zacks Research Digest
expect the company to generate stronger revenue growth,
elevate margins and narrow the ROE gap with peers. Such
progress is attributable to Morgan Stanley's recent
investments, cost savings and efficient use of capital. Other
growth opportunities include emerging markets, as well as the
strong performance in its institutional securities segment and
the spin-off of Discover. Read the Research Digest report on
MS (Premium) at http://at.zacks.com/?id=3402
Citigroup (C) is seen by analysts polled at Zacks Research
Digest as a well-diversified financial services organization,
which has strategically disposed off its slower growth and
lower return businesses in the past quarters to boost longer-
term growth rates and returns. In addition, it's exposure to
the world's largest emerging markets such as China, Korea,
India, Russia and Mexico, are driving strong growth on the
consumer side as well. Finally, C generates significant excess
capital and is likely to continue buying back its shares and
raising its dividend. Citigroup's Average Broker
Recommendation has risen to 1.81. Read the Research Digest
report on C (Premium) at http://at.zacks.com/?id=3403
Emerson Electric Company (EMR) has watched its Average Broker
Recommendation rise to 1.73 of late. Analysts appreciate
several aspects of this company, including its large installed
base and leading market positions across numerous product
lines. Also, according to Zacks Research Digest, Emerson
Electric offers a broad end-market exposure and regional
diversity, which allows it to be solidly profitable and able
to invest in times of weakness. The company has a history of
earnings growth and of reporting quality earnings, and is
initiating structural improvements by relocating to low-cost
regions. Read the Research Digest report on EMR (Premium) at

2) PROFIT TRACKS
==============================================
Zacks.com is proud to share with you some of the best trading
strategies that truly allow you to Profit from the Pros. Today
we highlight...
Profit Track: Upgrades and Revisions
This strategy focuses primarily on Positive EPS Estimate
Revisions and Brokerage Rating Upgrades. Over the last 20
years Zacks Investment Research has proven that earnings
estimate revisions are the most powerful force driving stock
prices. Studies have also shown that stocks receiving upward
EPS revisions tend to receive additional upward revisions in
the future. Then consider that stocks receiving these upward
revisions generally have brokers upgrading their Ratings,
which is also a proven mover of stock prices. There are other
parameters to this strategy, but the Rating Upgrades and
positive EPS Revisions are the two powerful active
ingredients.
Here are four stocks that make the grade for the Upgrades and
Revisions Profit Track:
Astec Industries Inc. (ASTE) recently reported fourth-quarter
earnings of 29 cents per share, surging past last year's five
cents and exceeding the consensus estimate by 21%. ASTE stated
that with a record backlog, good economy, highway funding
legislation in place, its efficiency initiatives and a strong
balance sheet, it is excited about what can be accomplished in
growing the business in both revenues and profits in 2007. The
company experienced earnings per share growth of 124% over the
past five years. Continue your research on ASTE at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2290
Biolase Technology Inc. (BLTI) has seen earnings per share
growth of 265% over the past five years, the highest five-year
track record currently listed under this Profit Track. BLTI
recently delivered fourth-quarter earnings of four cents per
share. The result blew away analysts' estimates of a one-cent
loss and soared past the previous year's loss of five cents.
The company mentioned that its quarterly performance was a
solid finish to a fiscal year in which BLTI saw improvements
throughout its business. Continue your research on BLTI at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2291
Horace Mann Educators Corp. (HMN) put together a five-year
growth track record of 23%. In early February, the company
posted fourth-quarter earnings that were ahead of the year-
prior quarter and beat the consensus estimate by 12%. HMN
noted that it produced solid earnings for the fourth quarter
and full year, and its growth initiatives continued to gain
traction. Results for the first quarter will be available on
May 3, 2005. Continue your research on HMN at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=2292
MetLife Inc. (MET) released fourth-quarter and full-year 2006
results in mid-February. Operating earnings available to
common shareholders for the fourth quarter totaled $1.36 per
share. The result topped last year's $1.04 and beat the
consensus estimate by 15.25%. As one of its highlights, MET
noted that it achieved record operating earnings available to
common shareholders in Institutional Business, Individual
Business and Auto & Home segments. During the past five years,
MET produced earnings per share growth of 29%. Continue your
research on MET at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2293

Bullish in the short-term on some of the bigger markets in
Latin America-particularly Brazil-Zacks senior analyst Claudio
Freitas, CFA explains to us why and where he sees emerging
strengths in the region.
Do you see the troubles in the U.S. housing market
contributing to Latin American market declines?
It is definitely a risk to be considered. Even though the
troubles in the U.S. housing market are a domestic matter, it
is beyond any doubt that the continued increase in housing
prices played an important role in the continued expansion of
the U.S. consumption. Thus any problems in this area could
trigger a reverse effect that will certainly reduce
international commodity prices, including some goods that are
exported by many Latin countries, like oil, steel, iron, pulp,
agricultural products, etc.

Zacks Equity Research continued...
Until recently, commodity prices were fueled up by continued
Asian demand, particularly from China. The million dollar
question now is if the Chinese economic growth will be able to
sustain the high prices of commodities even if U.S. falls into
a recession. In my opinion, the U.S. demand is still
important, however the economic growth in Asia will remain on
track regardless of the U.S. situation. Thus the crisis
hypothesis is unlikely, though some corrections/volatility
might occur.
Brazilian economic growth recently has been disappointing, but
the performance of the stock market has been quite positive.
Is it reasonable to expect that better economic performance in
the following years will further fuel the stock market there?
It is true that Brazilian economic growth has been
disappointing. In the last four years, the average annual
economic growth in Brazil was just 3.4%, well below other
emerging economies like China and India. For the near future,
there are some reasons for hope. Brazilian domestic interest
rates began to fall in September 2005; they went from more
than 19% per year to 11.75% now, and there is room for
continued cuts throughout 2007. In the medium term we believe
Brazilian interest rates will converge to international
standards.
Some weeks ago, the Brazilian government announced an
ambitious four year, US$235 billion infrastructure investment
plan, the so-called PAC, in order to increase economic growth
to somewhere around 5% per year. I really do not believe the
PAC will reach its target. Brazil needs some structural
reforms-in pensions, tax and labor-but the current government
doesn't seem eager to implement a reform agenda.
All considered, increased investments coupled with lower
domestic interest rates will be strong enough to grant a
growth in the 4% to 4.5% range in average in the following
years-still below other emerging economies. However, it is
important to note that the Brazilian stock market has a much
lower valuation (around 11x P/E) compared to other emerging
economies like India and China (around 20x P/E), thus the
Brazilian market has a considerable upside in the short-term,
mainly considering that the country should become investment-
grade within two years.

4) INVESTMENT IDEAS
==============================================
The editors at Zacks.com constantly analyze the universe of
stocks to find you great stocks. Today, learn how you can
profit from Affluenza:
Outlined below are four retail stocks that have been reaping
the benefits of a strong global economy and Affluenza. These
companies are showing off record profits and soaring stock
prices and they don't seem to be affected by high gas prices
or rogue weather patterns.
Coach Inc. (COH)
Coach Inc. is a leading designer of leather handbags and
accessories, for both women and men. The company has also
expanded into fine jewelry, eyewear, outerwear, footwear and
office furniture.
In the company's latest earnings report, EPS rose to 61 cents,
three cents above expectations and 35.6% above year ago
numbers. Driving the surprise was a 29% increase in revenues
to $836.4 million. Strong results from the new Legacy
Collection, which has price points 45% above the company's
other core offerings, was especially well received.
International growth was encouraging as well, with sales in
Japan rising 18%.
Coach Inc.'s financial performance has been impressive. Since
2001, sales have increased at an average annual rate of 31%,
well above the five-year industry average of 15%. The
company's 2006 ROE of 40% is twice the industry average. In
addition, ROA has risen in each of the last five years and
stands at 33% for 2006, stomping the industry average of 15%.
Free cash flow has also seen consistent growth, comprising 22%
of revenues in fiscal 2006, well above the industry average of
11.8%. The company's profit margins follow a similar trend,
with gross margins increasing in each of the last five years.
Nordstrom (JWN)
Nordstrom, Inc. is one of the nation's leading fashion
specialty retailers, with stores located in a number of
states, including full-line stores, Nordstrom Racks,
Faconnable boutiques, and free-standing shoe stores. Nordstrom
also operates Faconnable boutiques throughout Europe.
On Feb 23, the company reported fourth quarter EPS of 89
cents, up 29% from last year, but one penny below
expectations. The near miss was the first in over 15
consecutive quarters. However, quarterly revenues rose an
impressive 15% to $2.6 billion, while same store sales grew
8.3%.
In a big comeback, while Walmart (WMT) and Federated (FD)
reported weak February same-store-sales due to cold weather
and storms, Nordstrom bucked the trend and posted same store-
sales-growth of 9.1%, beating analyst expectations of a 5.6%
increase. The company also announced plans to improve its
online operations and open new stores. Nordstrom currently
operates 155 stores, of which only 98 are full line Nordstrom
stores, allowing for plenty of growth opportunities,
especially in the East and South regions.
Of the stocks featured, JWN has the most compelling valuation.
The stock is currently trading at 15.9x 2007 expected
earnings, in line with respective market and industry
multiples. EPS growth over the last five years has averaged
46%, well above the industry's 16.9% growth. In addition, the

1) ZACKS RANK BUY STOCKS
==============================================
Zacks #1 Rank stocks average a 31.8% annual return. Every day
on Zacks.com we highlight four new Zacks Rank Buy stocks. Each
individual stock is chosen based on how well they match the
criteria for the four main schools of investing: Aggressive
Growth, Momentum, Growth & Income and Value.
Aggressive Growth - ICF International, Inc. (ICFI)
ICF International, Inc. (ICFI) has only been public since
September, but things are certainly moving in the right
direction. Earnings estimates for this year have rocketed
higher over the past week, gaining 23 cents to $1.34 per
share. Even with the latest surge in the stock, it is still
trading at a price/book ratio of 2.2, below the industry
average. The stock is also cheap on a price/earnings basis,
trading at 12.9x next year's estimates. Read the full analysis
on ICFI at http://at.zacks.com/?id=3106
Growth & Income - Knoll, Inc. (KNL)
Knoll, Inc. (KNL) has exceeded earnings estimates in each of
the past five quarters. Year-over-year growth has averaged
over 40% over that time. Three analysts have raised their
forecasts for this year. Over the past 60 days, this year's
estimates have risen nine cents to $1.46 per share. The stock
is attractively valued at 13.4x next year's estimate, well
below the 25.4% long-term growth rate. Read the full analysis
on KNL at http://at.zacks.com/?id=3108
Momentum - Hologic Inc. (HOLX)
Hologic Inc. (HOLX) continues to trend higher after reporting
a 15.4% earnings surprise for its fiscal first quarter in late
January. While the stock is trading near 52-week highs, a
significant close above $60 should support continued upward
momentum. Read the analysis of HOLX at
http://at.zacks.com/?id=3109
Value - US Home Systems Inc. (USHS)
US Home Systems Inc. (USHS) surpassed analyst expectations for
the second consecutive quarter. The Zacks #1 Rank stock
currently trades at a discount to both the market and its
industry. With a strong expansion strategy and new products in
the pipeline, US Home Systems seems poised for further growth.

Top Zacks Challenge Player Interview: JazzFarmRocks Scott
----------------------------------------------------------
Some Simulator players and real-world investors, follow a
style of investing that is based on fundamentals, technicals
or a combination of the two. Yet others look for value or
growth. Some focus on specific sectors like oil or technology.
Scott Farr's (aka: JazzFarmRocks Scott) investment approach is
a little different, more general and very straightforward. It
is all about "making money" for Scott.
"Making money for me is about adaptation and evolution.
Learning as well as isolating good information from useless
information. My approach to making money has changed and
evolved the most during this Zacks Challenge. I've revisited
technical analysis and tried to `rock' the market momentum a
bit," remarked Scott.
This Zacks $100K Challenge contender and LA-based
rocker/guitar teacher has certainly "rocked" the Simulator
contest with his 12th place ranking and overall return of 50%
since the beginning of this year.
This participant's trading history reveals positions in Acadia
Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ACAD), Hirsch International Corp.
(HRSH), Ascent Solar Technologies Inc. (ASTI), Novastar
Financial Inc. (NFI) and Starbucks Corp. (SBUX). Take a look

3) ZACKS EQUITY RESEARCH
====================================================
Have you noticed prices at the pump lately? According to the
Lunberg survey, gas prices are up 37 cents per gallon since
the end of January. Last week, the national average was about
$2.61 per gallon. Rising oil prices, increased demand and
maintenance-related issues at refiners all have played a role.
The good news is that gas prices are expected to start
trending down soon (assuming the problems with Iran do not
escalate).
The even better news is that earnings estimates for refiners
moving higher - giving investors an opportunity to profit.
During the past four weeks, 51 full-year profit forecasts have
been raised on companies within Oil Refining & Marketing
versus just 15 forecasts being cut. This Zacks Revisions Ratio
of 3.4:1 compares to a ratio of just 0.7:1 for the entire
Zacks Rank universe.
The rebound in crude prices that has occurred since mid-
January may have brokerage analysts changing their minds about
where oil prices will be at in 2007. Previously, estimates for
multiple oil-related companies had been lowered on
expectations that oil prices would be lower this year than
last year. Since early February, however, crude hasn't spent
much time below $59.

Best of Zacks Equity Research continued...
Refiners not only benefit from higher oil prices, but they are
also in a favorable position from a supply/demand standpoint.
Refineries in the U.S. are operating at almost full-
utilization. The sustained economic expansion should result in
increased consumption of gasoline. These are big positives for
companies whose earnings are dependant the size of the margins
they can command.
There are currently three Zacks #1 Rank ("strong buy")
refiners: Global Partners (GLP), Holly Corporation (HOC) and
Western Refining (WNR). There are also four Zacks #2 Rank
("buy") stocks.
________________________________________
Oil prices are hitting new highs for the year at the same time
brokerage analysts are cutting their full-year forecasts on
several trucking companies, including Arkansas Best (ABFS),
Heartland Express (HTLD), Knight Transportation (KNX), Marten
Transportation (MRTN) and Werner Enterprises (WERN).
Rising fuel costs are a negative for transportation companies,
but there are also other factors adversely affecting trucking
companies. Weakness in the housing and automotive sectors are
putting pressure on spot prices across the board as freight
companies are becoming more competitive for market share. Some
large retailers are tightening inventory control, resulting in
a lower amount of shipments. The supply of vehicles has
increased as companies sought to buy new trucks ahead of new
EPA regulations that went into effect this year. Finally, rail
continues to take market share away from long-haul carriers.
Our transportation analyst Ann Heffron provides a good
analysis of the headwinds currently facing the trucking sector
in her Mar 26 report on Werner Enterprises. (The report is
available to Zacks Premium subscribers.)
Transportation-Trucking contains two Zacks #5 Rank ("strong
sell") stocks - ABFS and MRTN - and eight Zacks #4 Rank
("sell") stocks.

4) PROFIT TRACKS
==============================================
Zacks.com is proud to share with you some of the best trading
strategies that truly allow you to Profit from the Pros. Today
we highlight...
Profit Tracks: Earnings and Margins
This Profit Track goes to the heart of fundamental investing
by finding companies with healthy earnings. The main
ingredients are the search for Earnings Growth and Net Profit
Margins. Then for good measure we make sure earnings estimates
are moving higher which is a strong indicator of future
performance and that brokerage firms are positively rating the
stock.
Here are four stocks that make the grade for the Earnings and
Margins Profit Track:
Anixter International Inc.(AXE) announced fourth-quarter
results in late January. The company stated that strong fourth
quarter results completed a series of record-setting quarters
leading to a record year in terms of sales and earnings.
Earnings per share topped the previous year's fourth quarter
and exceeded the consensus estimate by 2%. Anixter's full-year
earnings experienced growth of 77% on a year-over-year basis.
Continue your research on AXE at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2354
Brush Engineered Materials, Inc. (BW), a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong
Buy) company, sports year-over-year earnings per share growth
of 69% for the full year. The company reported fourth-quarter
earnings of 44 cents per share, excluding an item, in mid-
February. The result more than doubled last year's 21 cents
and surpassed the consensus estimate by 13%. Sales reached
$207.8 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of 48% over
the year-prior quarter. Sales for the full-year 2006 were a
record $763.1 million, up 41% from the 2005 result. Continue
your research on BW at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2355
Cholestech Corp. (CTEC) meets the criteria of this Profit
Track as evidenced by its year-over-year earnings growth of
66% for the full year. In late January, CTEC posted fiscal
third-quarter earnings that were higher than the year-ago
result and outperformed the consensus estimate by 7%.
Cholestech Corp. mentioned that its operating results continue
to reflect improving margins in its business. Continue your
research on CTEC at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2356
Logility Inc. (LGTY) recently released financial results for
its fiscal third quarter. GAAP earnings per share totaled 15
cents, which matched the previous year's result. Logility said
it was pleased with the quarterly performance, pointing out
that it added 23 new customers and delivered all-time record
revenues and operating earnings. Out of all the companies
currently listed under this Profit Track, LDTY boasts the
highest year-over-year earnings per share growth of 980% for
the fiscal full year. Continue your research on LGTY at

5) ZacksElite.com TIMELY BUY of the WEEK
==============================================
Here you'll discover a Zacks #1 Rank stock hand selected by
Ben Zacks to outperform the market over the next 30 to 90
days. This week's Timely Buy is...
Sierra Wireless (SWIR)
------------------------------------------------
Sierra Wireless, Inc. (SWIR) is currently experiencing upward
momentum in its share price thanks to a rival maker of
wireless modems that raised its first-quarter outlook.
The company, based in British Columbia, Canada, develops and
markets wireless solutions, including data modems for portable
computers (PC), embedded modules for original equipment
manufacturers (OEMs), rugged vehicle-mounted modems, and
mobile phones.
Sierra's customers include Lenovo, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hewlett
Packard, Hitachi, iPass, Ingram Micro, Cingular, Verizon,
Sprint, T-Mobile, Handspring/Palm, and others.
Its most popular product is the AirCard, which allows portable
computers such as notebooks and personal digital assistants
(PDAs) to access the Internet over existing wireless phone
networks.
Revenue by product segments in the fourth quarter of 2006 was:
70% from PC cards, 24% from OEM/embedded modules, 2% from
mobile products, and 4% from other sources. The distribution
channel, including wireless carriers, generated 46% of
revenue, resellers 27%, PC OEMs 17%, and other sources
represented 10%. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, the
company derived 54% of its revenue from the Americas, 24% from
Europe, and 22% from the Asia- Pacific region.
Sierra Wireless just announced an agreement to supply the new
Sierra Wireless AirCard(R) 595U USB modem for access to the
Sprint Mobile Broadband EV-DO Rev A Network.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Sprint in the launch of
our newest product, the AirCard 595U USB modem," said Dan
Schieler, senior vice president, Worldwide Sales for Sierra
Wireless. "With value-added features like the included desktop
docking cradle, access to Sprint Location Services with the
latest version of Sprint Connection Manager, and battery
boosted power for better performance in a variety of coverage
areas, the AirCard 595U delivers a best-in-class solution for
data customers looking for the flexibility that a USB
interface provides."
The company recently announced a definitive agreement to
acquire AirLink Communications, Inc. ("AirLink"), a privately-
held developer and supplier of high value fixed, portable and
mobile wireless data solutions for industrial and public
safety applications.
SWIR said it believes that combining AirLink's leading modem
and software products business with its rugged MP product line
creates a focused, well-positioned leader in the mobile and
machine to machine (M2M) segments of SWIR's market. Sierra
Wireless added that it believes the business from these market
segments has solid growth prospects and an attractive gross
margin and operating margin profile. The company sees AirLink
as an important strategic addition to its overall business.
The company posted fourth-quarter and full-year results in
late January. Revenues for the fourth quarter reached a record
quarterly amount $68.3 million, driven by new product
introductions, continued global channel expansion and strong
OEM design win activity. Last year's fourth-quarter revenue
totaled $37.6 million.
Fourth-quarter earnings per share came in at nine cents,
topping the consensus estimate by 29% and outperforming the
year-prior result.
SWIR issued a first-quarter earnings per share guidance of 12
cents, prompting analysts to increase their forecasts from the
two months-ago level of seven cents to current estimates of 12
cents per share.
The company stated that 2006 was a year of growth and
recovery. SWIR's revenue grew by 107% and the company moved
from a deep loss position in 2005 to solid and improving
profitability by the end of 2006. Sierra Wireless also noted
that its intense focus on wide area wireless for mobile
computing, combined with strong new product and business
development execution, is driving the company's improving
results and SWIR believes it is well positioned for 2007.
The 2007 outlook for the telecommunications and wireless
industries has become more favorable. The fundamental downturn
may have reached a bottom, as telecommunications companies
reduced spending and improved operating performance over the
past several quarters. In addition, telecommunications
companies continue to be the largest group in terms of Mergers
and Acquisitions. Consolidation among the largest
telecommunications services-focused companies has created an
environment where equipment-focused companies now interact, on
a relative basis, with less customers and reduced selling
opportunities.
Long-term growth prospects for the sector are not nearly as
favorable as in the early part of 2000, but are more
attractive than in 2006, with further consolidation expected.

Today sellers hit Viva’s stock pretty good and it is a little more than we would have liked to have seen the stock pullback, but then again, nothing is a perfect science.
We still think it is a healthy retracement, because as all traders know, having a stock go straight up is not a good thing at all.
When we introduced VVWT to our members, we mentioned that the Mike’s deal would open up many opportunities for other major US distributors to use Viva for distribution in Mexico.
After the close, Viva put out an incredible press release. They announced that they have landed ROCKSTAR energy drink for distribution in Mexico. This is yet another huge milestone for the Company.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with ROCKSTAR, here is a little info on this energy drink giant:
ROCKSTAR is an energy drink just like Red Bull. They fall right behind Red Bull (Not Public) and Monster (Hansen Natural: Nasdaq:HANS) in market share. Energy Drinks began as a significant category in the USA in 1997 with the introduction of the currently dominant brand, Red Bull, which still has roughly 47% of the market share. By the year 2001, the energy drink market had grown to nearly $400 million per year in retail sales, and that's when it started to take off. Over the last 5 years, it grew an average of over 50% per year, totaling over $3 billion in 2005!
On 31 May 2005, under a distribution agreement, Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) began distributing Rockstar Energy Drink products within the U.S. and Canada.
RockStar69 and Penthouse, successfully collaborated in a partnership hosting the largest celebrity party for the 2006 Super Bowl. The Penthouse/Rockstar Energy Drink party, planned for 2,500 people, took place at an exclusive Detroit nightclub prior to the Super Bowl. Ticket prices ranged from $150 for the "Pure Rush party", to as high as $1,250 for the Penthouse and Rockstar Energy Drinks risqué "Party Like a Rockstar".
So this is yet another major US beverage distributor who has signed with Viva. Again, we will most likely see other major distributors take a look at Viva for distribution rights, but for now, this is a huge deal for VVWT shareholders.
The stock has pulled back to right where we started, but this just gives the members who didn’t get in when we introduced the stock to our members another shot at VVWT.
This is another multi-million dollar company who has agreed to work with Viva and I doubt this will be the last. The next few weeks should be very interesting for the stock and our members.
Viva ROCKSTAR!!!

Viva World Trade to Distribute ROCKSTAR Energy Beverages in Mexico
Tuesday April 17, 4:59 pm ET
PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO--Apr 17, 2007 -- Viva World Trade, Inc. (OTC:VVWT) and its Mexican subsidiary, Canmex Imports (the "Company," "Viva" or "Canmex"), are pleased to announce they have entered into an Agreement with ROCKSTAR Inc. to become an authorized vendor and distributor of ROCKSTAR Energy Beverages in Mexico.

The ROCKSTAR brand family includes ROCKSTAR Energy Drink, ROCKSTAR Energy Drink Sugar Free, ROCKSTAR Zero Carb, and ROCKSTAR Juiced.
Neil Mikkelsen, President & CEO, said, "The global energy drink market has seen incredible growth in the last year, and we expect continued growth for the near future.

The Company is currently exploring several possible distribution channels for the ROCKSTAR brand in Mexico. Further information concerning ROCKSTAR and other Viva/Canmex product offerings will be made available in forthcoming press releases.

THE MY SPACE STOCK COMMUNITY
As many of our members know, we have been updating the site on a monthly basis. These new updates are aimed at creating one of the largest Micro Cap and Small Cap communities around.
One of our goals is to reach a total of 500,000 members by the end of 2007. The Company has designated the largest amount of money for marketing since the inception of Stockwire. We feel very confident about reaching this goal.
We plan on being ranked by Alexa in the top 50,000 websites in the world by June of 2007. (If you are not sure what Alexa is, you can watch the "Stockwire & Alexa.com" tutorial by CLICKING HERE.)
If you haven’t been to the site in a while, once you log back in, you will immediately notice a bunch of changes that have been implemented. One of the obstacles you may encounter is uploading images.
Here is a quick lesson on how to proceed with this:
1) Login into Stockwire.com. Once you are logged in, you will want to choose a new picture to represent yourself. Click the "View My Profile" link on the left. Now you should see a picture of Michael Jackson. We did this to motivate our members to change their picture. You have the option to choose one of our Famous Celebrity Mug Shots or to upload your own.
To learn how to do this, you can watch the tutorial called "How To Update Your Picture".
***VERY IMPORTANT***
You will need to resize your images before you upload them. If you are not sure how to do this, use this cut and dry image resizer located at: http://www.shrinkpictures.com
All you have to do is input your image and tell it what size you want your picture and it shoots you an email with the correct image.
2) You can also upload images about yourself on your profile page. Underneath your State and Country, it says the following:
--------------------------------
My Pictures & Comments
Submit New Gallery Entry [Your current quota marks: 0/100 items 0/20000 Kbytes (0% consumed - 100% free)]
No Items published in this profile gallery
--------------------------------
Click the “Submit New Gallery” link and you will then see an area to begin uploading images.
3) Another small setting to change, is to have an email sent to you each time you receive a Private Message. To enable this feature, access your Private message center by clicking on “You have no new private messages” link under your picture. (You can see an example of where this might be by looking at the image above.) This will take you to the Stockwire Private Messaging System interface. Click the “Settings” link. Here you can change the alert notification preferences.
4) After you have this done, the rest is pretty self explanatory. Now you can go and start posting on your favorite stock.
If you have any questions, click the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of any page and shoot us an email.
We hope you enjoy the site!

INVESTING 101
Many of us are new to investing and we are faced with a daunting task of trading on our own. This can be very intimidating for anyone who enters this field. With all of the obstacles that stand in our way, there needs to be a place where investors can go to learn the mechanics of how the stock market works.
This is where the Stockwire Investing 101 tutorials come into play. We have designed, with the help of our members, online video tutorials that educate our members on the ins and outs of the stock market. We have online videos that discuss topics like, How to read a balance sheet, Candlestick Basics, How to prepare for a trade, Stock Splits, Technical Analysis, Order Types and a ton more. New ones are added all the time. CLICK HERE to begin your Investing 101 classes now.
THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG
Blog, blog, bog, blog - that's all we hear about these days...so much so, that Stockwire was urged by its members to start our own. So we did. Our blog is called THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG. Our blog essentially focuses on stocks that are trading a lot of money in the first half hour of trading. We have filters on our trading system that lets us know which stocks these are.
The reason we do this, is because as an investor, you need to be smarter than the other guy. A very intelligent decision for a trader is to put his or her money into stocks that are trading big dollars! That is a very solid indicator as to where most investors are putting their money. When you enter a trade, it is much easier to get out of it since these stocks tend to be very liquid. We have all been in illiquid stocks where the trade has gone our way and because of the illiquidity issues, we can't get out of the position to lock in our profits. Using this indicator, helps solve this problem.
So visit THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG to see which companies are attracting the big bucks!

Viva, Viva, Viva! This has been a fun ride for all of our members. What is great about it, is that the chart is setting up perfectly. One of our members on the message board mentioned today the following:
“I would like to see a pullback here. Stocks can't go straight up forever. You need to see a pullback and then another move higher. When that happens, everyone who didn't get involved before will jump on board and create even bigger momentum.”
Today there was some profit taking and there was definitely some BID whacking, but the stock held up well, only closing down -.02 or -3.77% to end the week at $.51.
As with any stock, going straight up will only result in a quick downward movement, so we would like to see another 5% retracement here and then the formation of another move higher. This would be a textbook technical play and by next week we could see this develop.

Terra Nostra has been another great trade for our members. It is up +31% since our alert price of $2.10.
The stock’s chart has been setting up perfectly with the uptrend support holding up very nicely. We will know if the chart pattern breaks down if the PPS gets to around $2.55 a share. If this happens, there might be a sharp sell off from there.
As of right now, the trend is bullish as it is playing off of the uptrend support line as shown by the chart. The next target area on the upside is around $3.20 a share.

We have received numerous emails wondering why we haven’t spoken about Amedia in a while. There is a reason for that. The Company hasn’t put out any news since February 28th and the stock just keeps drifting lower.
The one thing these emails do to me is make me worry about why some of our members do not have any stops in place. What is remarkable, is that in every email we put out (UNDER EVERY PROFILE SECTION), we put the following statement: “IMPORTANT REMINDER: Before investing into any of our featured companies, please watch the "How to prepare for a trade" tutorial under the "Investing 101" tab.”
No why is this important???
In this tutorial, we make it very clear that whenever you place any trade, you need to have a solid trading plan that has your exit on the upside as well as the downside and you do not sway from this plan. As many times as we stress this, you can bet there will be some people who do not follow it and then send us emails wondering why the stock is heading lower. Stocks don’t just go up and never come down and this is why you need to watch this tutorial until you understand that.
The fact of the matter, is that the Company hasn’t put out a press release in quite some time, so investors will get impatient and will exit their position. The end result being a negative PPS.
What is interesting about the current chart, is that we are coming down to a crucial area that in the previous months, has created incredible trading opportunities.
Back on January 10, 2006, the stock hit a 52-week low of $.52. From there it went on to reach a high of $1.25 a share one month later. Then on August 15, 2006, the day we profiled it, the stock was at $.52 again and then went on to reach a high of $1.09 a share one month later.
As you can tell, there is a pattern setting up here. Now 4 months later, we are back down to this area again. Is it possible this bounce could happen again for the 3rd time in a row???
No one really knows that answer, but if history is a good indicator for the future, then yes, there is a good possibility here.
We still own 223,000 shares of the Company and plan on holding these shares until the Company either gets acquired by a Fortune 500 Company or the stock hits a decent PPS that results in a solid ROI.

The Company just put out what we feel is a major news announcement. Clearly Viva is not a one or two day trade, as you can see by the chart. This is steady positive growth and the Company is performing beautifully as you will find out by reading their press release.
With this listing under their belt, this will ultimately pave the way for much larger contracts from other large US distributors.
We are at the very beginning of what looks like a text book steady growth play and we are glad to be the first people to bring it to our investors.

Viva World Trade Approved for Listing With Mexico's 2nd Largest Supermarket Retailer
Wednesday April 11, 11:44 am ET
PUERTO VALLARTA, MEXICO--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 11, 2007 -- Viva World Trade, Inc. (OTC:VVWT.PK) and its Mexican subsidiary Canmex Imports ("Canmex"), the exclusive importer and national distributor of the "mike's hard lemonade" brand family in Mexico, are pleased to announce the Company has been approved for listing "mike's" products with nationwide retailer Organizacion Soriana, Mexico's second largest supermarket chain.
Soriana was founded in 1905 and has been listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange since 1987. They own and operate 235 modern supermarket stores and 80 convenience stores. Soriana is rapidly expanding its store base and has pledged to invest over $700 million to open 60 more supermarket stores over the next year. Soriana is the second largest Mexican supermarket chain, surpassed nationwide only by Walmart.
Through an exclusive arrangement with strategic sales and marketing partner TVK Latin America, a successful Mexico City-based importer and distributor of alcoholic beverages, Viva has gained access to the Soriana retail network alongside other successful TVK product offerings. Soriana currently retails TVK distributed alcoholic beverages across Mexico. Initial orders on a regional level are expected to begin later this month, with potential distribution to all Soriana stores by the end of the year.
"This sales opportunity with Soriana will be another major step forward for Viva and 'mike's' in Mexico. Their modern stores, nationwide presence, and aggressive expansion plans make Soriana a perfect retail partner as we develop the 'mike's' brand and expand our product offerings in the coming months," said Neil Mikkelsen, President & CEO.

THE MY SPACE STOCK COMMUNITY
As many of our members know, we have been updating the site on a monthly basis. These new updates are aimed at creating one of the largest Micro Cap and Small Cap communities around.
One of our goals is to reach a total of 500,000 members by the end of 2007. The Company has designated the largest amount of money for marketing since the inception of Stockwire. We feel very confident about reaching this goal.
We plan on being ranked by Alexa in the top 50,000 websites in the world by June of 2007. (If you are not sure what Alexa is, you can watch the "Stockwire & Alexa.com" tutorial by CLICKING HERE.)
If you haven’t been to the site in a while, once you log back in, you will immediately notice a bunch of changes that have been implemented. One of the obstacles you may encounter is uploading images.
Here is a quick lesson on how to proceed with this:
1) Login into Stockwire.com. Once you are logged in, you will want to choose a new picture to represent yourself. Click the "View My Profile" link on the left. Now you should see a picture of Michael Jackson. We did this to motivate our members to change their picture. You have the option to choose one of our Famous Celebrity Mug Shots or to upload your own.
To learn how to do this, you can watch the tutorial called "How To Update Your Picture".
***VERY IMPORTANT***
You will need to resize your images before you upload them. If you are not sure how to do this, use this cut and dry image resizer located at: http://www.shrinkpictures.com
All you have to do is input your image and tell it what size you want your picture and it shoots you an email with the correct image.
2) You can also upload images about yourself on your profile page. Underneath your State and Country, it says the following:
--------------------------------
My Pictures & Comments
Submit New Gallery Entry [Your current quota marks: 0/100 items 0/20000 Kbytes (0% consumed - 100% free)]
No Items published in this profile gallery
--------------------------------
Click the “Submit New Gallery” link and you will then see an area to begin uploading images.
3) Another small setting to change, is to have an email sent to you each time you receive a Private Message. To enable this feature, access your Private message center by clicking on “You have no new private messages” link under your picture. (You can see an example of where this might be by looking at the image above.) This will take you to the Stockwire Private Messaging System interface. Click the “Settings” link. Here you can change the alert notification preferences.
4) After you have this done, the rest is pretty self explanatory. Now you can go and start posting on your favorite stock.
If you have any questions, click the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of any page and shoot us an email.
We hope you enjoy the site!

INVESTING 101

With all of the obstacles that stand in our way, there needs to be a place where investors can go to learn the mechanics of how the stock market works.
This is where the Stockwire Investing 101 tutorials come into play. We have designed, with the help of our members, online video tutorials that educate our members on the ins and outs of the stock market.

THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG
Blog, blog, bog, blog - that's all we hear about these days...so much so, that Stockwire was urged by its members to start our own. So we did. Our blog is called THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG. Our blog essentially focuses on stocks that are trading a lot of money in the first half hour of trading. We have filters on our trading system that lets us know which stocks these are.
The reason we do this, is because as an investor, you need to be smarter than the other guy. A very intelligent decision for a trader is to put his or her money into stocks that are trading big dollars! That is a very solid indicator as to where most investors are putting their money. When you enter a trade, it is much easier to get out of it since these stocks tend to be very liquid. We have all been in illiquid stocks where the trade has gone our way and because of the illiquidity issues, we can't get out of the position to lock in our profits. Using this indicator, helps solve this problem.

Another great day for VVWT! Congrats to all of our members who have been patient. The stock is up 23.7% since our initial profile at $.38!
Even better news, is that Ameritrade has taken VVWT off of their “Restricted” list. This has opened up the doors for many more investors to get involved in the stock as we have seen these past few days.
Etrade will most likely follow their lead in a few days once they are made aware of the fact that Scottrade and Ameritrade have already done so.
As you can see by the chart, the stock hit a new high today of $.48 and traded over $298,000 worth of stock. This is definitely a confirmation of this breakout and later on this week, we might be able to see $.60 a share.
As of 4:37 PM EST, the company hasn’t put out a press release since April 4th, so we know this is strictly a technical play at the moment. If there is any positive news released in the next few days, we could see the stock hit $.60 before we know it.

As you can see, VVWT came out strong right after our initial alert on March 30th. If we didn’t have the trouble we did with Etrade and Ameritrade, we would probably be sitting at $.60 by now, but that is behind us at the moment.
The CEO wanted me to state to our members, that in the last email regarding the Etrade/Ameritrade issue, I wasn’t totally clear about the issue. It may have come off that Viva was the only company on this so called ‘Restricted’ list. Everyone needs to understand that this is not an isolated issue. There are probably hundreds of companies on this list and no one really knows why they are there.
Unfortunately their compliance departments refuse to speak with anyone about the issue. If the issue is not resolved by next week, we will send out an email to all of our 180,000 members with a list of other discount brokerage firms that will be more than happy to place trades on Pink Sheet companies.
Let’s move on from the past and in to the present. On Thursday, VVWT closed at the high of the day and traded 311,935 shares for a total of $140,000 worth of dollar volume. The previous all-time high for the company was $.45 as shown by the chart.
We are now sitting at a technical barrier or what Technical Analyst’s call ‘Resistance’. Since the stock has never traded more than $.45 a share, if it breaks this level with volume, the stock will most likely go for $.60 a share, or whatever the market place is willing to pay for it. With momentum plays, this could be any price.
So next week should turn out to be a very interesting time for the stock and for our members.

TNRO has been playing out beautifully since we alerted our members of our Asian 9 picks on February 19th. If you look at the current chart, it would make any Technical Analyst salivate at the incredible trading opportunity that currently exists with TNRO.
On March 4th, we sent out another alert email to our members that pointed out another great entry point for TNRO traders. You can view that email by CLICKING HERE. As you can see by the chart to the right, we were right on with our entry point alert.
Since our initial alert to our members on February 19th at $2.10 a share, the stock has traded as high as $3.20. If the current trend keeps up, we should definitely see the stock retest the $3.20 level and if it breaks this area, it will then retest the previous high of $3.64. This would be a potential gain of 73.3% from our $2.10 alert price.
TNRO hasn’t put out a press release since March 22nd. If the Company does put out any positive news, it will just add more buying to the current trend.

I AM NEW TO STOCKWIRE, PLEASE HELP!
As a new Stockwire member, at first it might seem a little overwhelming. Rest assure that we are there for any questions that you might have. In this section, we are going to guide you through the process of how to navigate through the site.
Below you will find some very useful links that will help you get started:
1) The first thing you will want to do if you haven't done this already, is to watch the tutorial on how to update your profile page. Your profile page is a page that you can make your own and then share it with your friends. CLICK HERE to watch this tutorial.

THE MY SPACE STOCK COMMUNITY
As many of our members know, we have been updating the site on a monthly basis. These new updates are aimed at creating one of the largest Micro Cap and Small Cap communities around.
One of our goals is to reach a total of 500,000 members by the end of 2007. The Company has designated the largest amount of money for marketing since the inception of Stockwire. We feel very confident about reaching this goal.
We plan on being ranked by Alexa in the top 50,000 websites in the world by June of 2007. (If you are not sure what Alexa is, you can watch the "Stockwire & Alexa.com" tutorial by CLICKING HERE.)
If you haven’t been to the site in a while, once you log back in, you will immediately notice a bunch of changes that have been implemented. One of the obstacles you may encounter is uploading images.
Here is a quick lesson on how to proceed with this:
1) Login into Stockwire.com. Once you are logged in, you will want to choose a new picture to represent yourself. Click the "View My Profile" link on the left. Now you should see a picture of Michael Jackson. We did this to motivate our members to change their picture. You have the option to choose one of our Famous Celebrity Mug Shots or to upload your own.
To learn how to do this, you can watch the tutorial called "How To Update Your Picture".
***VERY IMPORTANT***
You will need to resize your images before you upload them. If you are not sure how to do this, use this cut and dry image resizer located at: http://www.shrinkpictures.com
All you have to do is input your image and tell it what size you want your picture and it shoots you an email with the correct image.
2) You can also upload images about yourself on your profile page. Underneath your State and Country, it says the following:
--------------------------------
My Pictures & Comments
Submit New Gallery Entry [Your current quota marks: 0/100 items 0/20000 Kbytes (0% consumed - 100% free)]
No Items published in this profile gallery
--------------------------------
Click the “Submit New Gallery” link and you will then see an area to begin uploading images.
3) Another small setting to change, is to have an email sent to you each time you receive a Private Message. To enable this feature, access your Private message center by clicking on “You have no new private messages” link under your picture. (You can see an example of where this might be by looking at the image above.) This will take you to the Stockwire Private Messaging System interface. Click the “Settings” link. Here you can change the alert notification preferences.
4) After you have this done, the rest is pretty self explanatory. Now you can go and start posting on your favorite stock.
If you have any questions, click the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of any page and shoot us an email.
We hope you enjoy the site!

INVESTING 101
Many of us are new to investing and we are faced with a daunting task of trading on our own. This can be very intimidating for anyone who enters this field. With all of the obstacles that stand in our way, there needs to be a place where investors can go to learn the mechanics of how the stock market works.
This is where the Stockwire Investing 101 tutorials come into play. We have designed, with the help of our members, online video tutorials that educate our members on the ins and outs of the stock market. We have online videos that discuss topics like, How to read a balance sheet, Candlestick Basics, How to prepare for a trade, Stock Splits, Technical Analysis, Order Types and a ton more.

THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG
Blog, blog, bog, blog - that's all we hear about these days...so much so, that Stockwire was urged by its members to start our own. So we did. Our blog is called THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG. Our blog essentially focuses on stocks that are trading a lot of money in the first half hour of trading. We have filters on our trading system that lets us know which stocks these are.
The reason we do this, is because as an investor, you need to be smarter than the other guy. A very intelligent decision for a trader is to put his or her money into stocks that are trading big dollars! That is a very solid indicator as to where most investors are putting their money. When you enter a trade, it is much easier to get out of it since these stocks tend to be very liquid. We have all been in illiquid stocks where the trade has gone our way and because of the illiquidity issues, we can't get out of the position to lock in our profits. Using this indicator, helps solve this problem.
So visit THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG to see which companies are attracting the big bucks!

As many of our members are aware, we have been having a few issues with Etrade, Ameritrade and Scottrade with regards to purchasing VVWT’s stock. I am proud to announce that there is no longer an issue with Scottrade. However, there are still issues with Etrade and Ameritrade, which are currently being resolved.
We suggest to our members that if your current Brokerage firm is trying to dictate what stocks you should and shouldn’t buy, then you need to find a new broker. This should never happen in a ‘FREE’ market.
If you are not sure what I am talking about, you can read a post in the Trader’s Lounge, titled ‘Addressing the issues’. It is located under the ‘Viva World Trade’ forum.
We feel that Viva’s story was not fairly represented in the marketplace these past few days, due to the Etrade/Ameritrade issue.
In lieu of this, we have purchased over $60,000.00 worth of Viva’s stock at today’s market price. We wouldn’t have gone ahead and done this, if we didn’t feel that Viva was a solid company and is extremely undervalued.
A great example of this, is the press that just came out a few minutes ago. You can read it below:

Viva World Trade Signs Sales and Marketing Agreement With Grupo ServiBar
Wednesday April 4, 4:56 pm ET
Viva World Trade, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: VVWT) and its Mexican subsidiary Canmex Imports ("Canmex"), the exclusive importer and national distributor of the "mike's hard lemonade" brand family in Mexico, are pleased to announce the Company has entered into a sales and marketing agreement with Grupo ServiBar, S.A. de C.V. to introduce "mike's" to up to 50,000 hotel minibars across Mexico.
ServiBar is the one of world's largest manufacturers and administrators of complete turnkey hotel minibar and safe systems. Founded in 1973 and headquartered in Queretaro, Mexico, the company currently has systems located in over 300,000 hotel rooms worldwide.
The agreement will allow the Company to rollout "mike's hard lemonade" to up to 50,000 hotel room minibars across Mexico, with a large presence in Mexico City and all the popular resort areas including Cancun, Cabo, and Puerto Vallarta.
Viva will now have the opportunity to have "mike's hard lemonade" distributed to such major hotel chains as Hilton, Hyatt, Intercontinental, Holiday Inn, Sheraton, Westin, Radisson, Four Seasons, Occidental, Marriott, Starwood, Riu, and Iberostar, as well as numerous other small hotel chains and independent operators.
Shelf space within ServiBar minibars is in great demand and extremely limited. Currently the only malt-based beverages offered by ServiBar in Mexico are under an exclusive contract with Grupo Modelo S.A. (Corona and Budweiser). The addition of "mike's hard lemonade" will make it the only flavored malt-based alcoholic beverage currently offered by ServiBar in Mexico.
"This agreement with ServiBar is a major step forward for the Company in establishing the 'mike's hard lemonade' brand in Mexico. The ServiBar minibar network is an ideal platform to sell and promote 'mike's' direct to a captive consumer. We look forward to expanding our relationship with ServiBar to potentially include future Viva product offerings," said Neil Mikkelsen, President & CEO.

THE MY SPACE STOCK COMMUNITY
As many of our members know, we have been updating the site on a monthly basis. These new updates are aimed at creating one of the largest Micro Cap and Small Cap communities around.
One of our goals is to reach a total of 500,000 members by the end of 2007. The Company has designated the largest amount of money for marketing since the inception of Stockwire. We feel very confident about reaching this goal.
We plan on being ranked by Alexa in the top 50,000 websites in the world by June of 2007. (If you are not sure what Alexa is, you can watch the "Stockwire & Alexa.com" tutorial on our website.)
If you haven’t been to the site in a while, once you log back in, you will immediately notice a bunch of changes that have been implemented. One of the obstacles you may encounter is uploading images.
Here is a quick lesson on how to proceed with this:
1) Login into Stockwire.com. Once you are logged in, you will want to choose a new picture to represent yourself. Click the "View My Profile" link on the left. Now you should see a picture of Michael Jackson. We did this to motivate our members to change their picture. You have the option to choose one of our Famous Celebrity Mug Shots or to upload your own.
To learn how to do this, you can watch the tutorial called "How To Update Your Picture".
***VERY IMPORTANT***
You will need to resize your images before you upload them. If you are not sure how to do this, use this cut and dry image resizer located at: http://www.shrinkpictures.com
All you have to do is input your image and tell it what size you want your picture and it shoots you an email with the correct image.
2) You can also upload images about yourself on your profile page. Underneath your State and Country, it says the following:
--------------------------------
My Pictures & Comments
Submit New Gallery Entry [Your current quota marks: 0/100 items 0/20000 Kbytes (0% consumed - 100% free)]
No Items published in this profile gallery
--------------------------------
Click the “Submit New Gallery” link and you will then see an area to begin uploading images.
3) Another small setting to change, is to have an email sent to you each time you receive a Private Message. To enable this feature, access your Private message center by clicking on “You have no new private messages” link under your picture. (You can see an example of where this might be by looking at the image above.) This will take you to the Stockwire Private Messaging System interface. Click the “Settings” link. Here you can change the alert notification preferences.
4) After you have this done, the rest is pretty self explanatory. Now you can go and start posting on your favorite stock.
If you have any questions, click the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of any page and shoot us an email.
We hope you enjoy the site!

INVESTING 101
Many of us are new to investing and we are faced with a daunting task of trading on our own. This can be very intimidating for anyone who enters this field. With all of the obstacles that stand in our way, there needs to be a place where investors can go to learn the mechanics of how the stock market works.
This is where the Stockwire Investing 101 tutorials come into play. We have designed, with the help of our members, online video tutorials that educate our members on the ins and outs of the stock market. We have online videos that discuss topics like, How to read a balance sheet, Candlestick Basics, How to prepare for a trade, Stock Splits, Technical Analysis, Order Types and a ton more.

THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG
Blog, blog, bog, blog - that's all we hear about these days...so much so, that Stockwire was urged by its members to start our own. So we did. Our blog is called THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG. Our blog essentially focuses on stocks that are trading a lot of money in the first half hour of trading. We have filters on our trading system that lets us know which stocks these are.
The reason we do this, is because as an investor, you need to be smarter than the other guy. A very intelligent decision for a trader is to put his or her money into stocks that are trading big dollars! That is a very solid indicator as to where most investors are putting their money. When you enter a trade, it is much easier to get out of it since these stocks tend to be very liquid. We have all been in illiquid stocks where the trade has gone our way and because of the illiquidity issues, we can't get out of the position to lock in our profits. Using this indicator, helps solve this problem.
So visit THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG to see which companies are attracting the big bucks!

TNRO has been on a tear since we sent out a trade alert on it on February 19th, when it was trading at $2.10 a share. Since that time, the stock went on to reach a high of $3.25 and now is finding a base around the $2.60 area.
By examining the chart, you can see that an uptrend support line has formed and the stock is now bouncing off of it.
We saw a breakout in volume above the 50 day MA, which confirms the uptrend line as good support and offers us a good entry point to swing trade the stock. From here, there is a potential of around a 25% gain if the stock retests the previous high of $3.25. If it breaks this area, the next technical stop would be around the $3.60 area.

A very interesting thing happened last night. I received a call from the CEO of VVWT letting me know that Viva’s website was down due to excessive bandwidth use.
Why is this interesting?
Because so many new people have visited Viva’s website recently, that they exceeded their bandwidth allowance for the month. It is a very easy fix, but this is great news for all of you who like the stock.
This is a helpful indicator for interest in any equity. If you see a big spike in general traffic, especially one that exceeds a websites bandwidth allowance, then you know you might be on to something. As of Sunday morning, the site is back up and running fine.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Before investing into any of our featured companies, please watch the "How to prepare for a trade" tutorial under the "Investing 101" tab.
I AM NEW TO STOCKWIRE, PLEASE HELP!

THE MY SPACE STOCK COMMUNITY
As many of our members know, we have been updating the site on a monthly basis. These new updates are aimed at creating one of the largest Micro Cap and Small Cap communities around.
One of our goals is to reach a total of 500,000 members by the end of 2007. The Company has designated the largest amount of money for marketing since the inception of Stockwire. We feel very confident about reaching this goal.
We plan on being ranked by Alexa in the top 50,000 websites in the world by June of 2007. (If you are not sure what Alexa is, you can watch the "Stockwire & Alexa.com" tutorial on our website.)
If you haven’t been to the site in a while, once you log back in, you will immediately notice a bunch of changes that have been implemented. One of the obstacles you may encounter is uploading images.
Here is a quick lesson on how to proceed with this:
1) Login into Stockwire.com. Once you are logged in, you will want to choose a new picture to represent yourself. Click the "View My Profile" link on the left. Now you should see a picture of Michael Jackson. We did this to motivate our members to change their picture. You have the option to choose one of our Famous Celebrity Mug Shots or to upload your own.
To learn how to do this, you can watch the tutorial called "How To Update Your Picture".
***VERY IMPORTANT***
You will need to resize your images before you upload them. If you are not sure how to do this, use this cut and dry image resizer located at: http://www.shrinkpictures.com
All you have to do is input your image and tell it what size you want your picture and it shoots you an email with the correct image.
2) You can also upload images about yourself on your profile page. Underneath your State and Country, it says the following:
--------------------------------
My Pictures & Comments
Submit New Gallery Entry [Your current quota marks: 0/100 items 0/20000 Kbytes (0% consumed - 100% free)]
No Items published in this profile gallery
--------------------------------
Click the “Submit New Gallery” link and you will then see an area to begin uploading images.
3) Another small setting to change, is to have an email sent to you each time you receive a Private Message. To enable this feature, access your Private message center by clicking on “You have no new private messages” link under your picture. (You can see an example of where this might be by looking at the image above.) This will take you to the Stockwire Private Messaging System interface. Click the “Settings” link. Here you can change the alert notification preferences.
4) After you have this done, the rest is pretty self explanatory. Now you can go and start posting on your favorite stock.
If you have any questions, click the “Contact Us” link at the bottom of any page and shoot us an email.
We hope you enjoy the site!

INVESTING 101
Many of us are new to investing and we are faced with a daunting task of trading on our own. This can be very intimidating for anyone who enters this field. With all of the obstacles that stand in our way, there needs to be a place where investors can go to learn the mechanics of how the stock market works.
This is where the Stockwire Investing 101 tutorials come into play. We have designed, with the help of our members, online video tutorials that educate our members on the ins and outs of the stock market. We have online videos that discuss topics like, How to read a balance sheet, Candlestick Basics, How to prepare for a trade, Stock Splits, Technical Analysis, Order Types and a ton more.

THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG
Blog, blog, bog, blog - that's all we hear about these days...so much so, that Stockwire was urged by its members to start our own. So we did. Our blog is called THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG. Our blog essentially focuses on stocks that are trading a lot of money in the first half hour of trading. We have filters on our trading system that lets us know which stocks these are.
The reason we do this, is because as an investor, you need to be smarter than the other guy. A very intelligent decision for a trader is to put his or her money into stocks that are trading big dollars! That is a very solid indicator as to where most investors are putting their money. When you enter a trade, it is much easier to get out of it since these stocks tend to be very liquid. We have all been in illiquid stocks where the trade has gone our way and because of the illiquidity issues, we can't get out of the position to lock in our profits. Using this indicator, helps solve this problem.
So visit THE MOVERS & SHAKERS BLOG to see which companies are attracting the big bucks!

For those of you who took advantage of our Asian 9 report, most notably:
- China 3C, which gained over 80% from our alert price of $3.86
- General Steel Hldgs, which gained over 81% from our alert price of $3.20
- Terra Nostra Resources, which gained over 55% from our alert price of $2.10
are probably wondering how we are going to top those types of returns.
The way we are going to do just that, is to introduce you to a stock that is currently trading at $.30, with the potential to hit a $1 or more. That is a possible return of 185% - that is how!
As I said in my previous emails, this stock profile will undoubtedly be one of our biggest of the year!
For the past few months, we have been working on finding a real good trading opportunity for all of our members and we believe we have found in incredible one in Viva World Trade (OTC: VVWT).
Viva was awarded the exclusive right to distribute Mike’ Hard Lemonade in all of Mexico. This is a monumental deal for VVWT considering that Mike’s has achieved the status as one of the leading lemonade flavored alcoholic beverages in the US.
Most of you already know Mike’s, but according to ACNielsen, Mike’s controls 23.9% of a $750 million dollar malt beverage market in the US and Canada. Even better, Mike’s commands a stunning 68.3% of the total hard lemonade market. That makes Mike’s #2 in the total malt beverage market (behind Smirnoff Ice). Mike’s is the all-time champ with its closest competitor around 50 percentage points behind!
A lot of you already know of Mike’s from their infamous TV spots that air all of the country and have been mentioned on Saturday Night Live and David Letterman, but for those of you who don’t, you can view a few of them by CLICKING HERE.
Mike's is a manufacturer of alcopop beverages, also known as "malternative" or flavored malt beverages. It is named after its flagship and original product, Mike's Hard Lemonade, which in the United States is a mixture of beer and lemonade (with more alcohol content than most U.S. beers). It is marketed toward the under 30 crowd. Many of whom don’t like the taste of traditional adult drinks, but they still want to socialize with their friends.
The C.I.A. reports that about half of Mexico’s 106 million people are under 30 years old – a major consumer group with a big appetite for U.S. food and beverage products. In fact, according to the C.I.A., the mean in Mexico is 25.3 years… 24.3 for males and 26.2 for females. Talk about a hefty market!
As of right now, Mexico’s malt beverage sector is just beginning to open up and this is what is so good for investors like us. With the popularity of Mike’s in the US, it should be fairly easy to gain market share in Mexico and to capture a piece of the $30 billion dollar beverage market.
If you consider that VVWT has the exclusive countrywide rights to Mike’s in Mexico, which has a multi-billion dollar beverage industry, you can see why we like this deal so much.
By winning such an exclusive deal with the 2nd largest malt beverage manufacturer in the US and Canada, what this does is open up an abundance of opportunity with other major beverage manufacturers located in the US.
Some of you might think that introducing a new beverage to the market place in Mexico is an easy task, but the reality is, its not. You have to be extremely connected with the government in order to bring new products in and fortunately for VVWT, they are very well connected.
After winning such a monumental agreement, this now puts VVWT on the radar screen for US beverage manufacturers. Now they know they have access to a respectable distributor in Mexico that has proven that they are capable of getting access into the $30 billion dollar Mexican beverage market.
What this does for VVWT, is it opens the doors for other major US beverage manufacturers to utilize their connections and distribution networks.
Just the other day, I was on the phone with Neil Mikkelsen, the CEO of VVWT, and we were talking about the progress they have made recently. He mentioned to me that he has been on the phone with some of the largest US beverage manufacturers and explained that they have tried to get their products into Mexico, but were unsuccessful due to all the red tape involved with the Mexican officials.
Now that these US manufacturers see that VVWT has the ability to get their products into the Mexican pipeline and to tap into the multi-billion dollar market, it puts them in a very attractive position.
If VVWT lands one or two more agreements like the Mike’s deal, we could see them grab a very large piece of the $30 billion dollar Mexican beverage market and at that point, they would most likely be listed on the Nasdaq.
On March 16th, Viva announced was looking in to the business model of exportation and distribution of its own brand of premium Mexican beer. In the U.S., Mexican beer leads all other imports by a wide-margin, accounting for over 35% of the U.S. import market last year. In 2006, sales of Corona were up 8.1%, making it the leading imported beer and the sixth best selling beer overall in the U.S.
This company spells out growth like no other we have seen this year. We are looking at Viva right when they are at the beginning of their growth curve and we have an incredible investment opportunity here as we witness the emergence of a beverage giant.
Microcap investors do not buy large cap stocks, because most of them have already experienced explosive growth and in some cases, may have missed the boat. With VVWT, the boat is just getting ready to leave the docks and we are the first ones on board!
We are thrilled to be the initial company to bring Viva World Trade Inc. (OTC: VVWT) to the investing public!

Controlling Your Money
Controlling Your Money -- by Bill Kraft
Copyright 2007, Makin' Hay, Inc., All Rights Reserved
Bill Kraft
Editor
Last weekend I wrote about some of the difficulties encountered when a trader begins the transition from paper trading to trading with real money. This article looks at the specific subject of money which may be the root of all evil, but is certainly the element that introduces the dangers of emotion when we leave the relative safety of paper trading and put our cash at risk.
The first and most important rule of trading real money is to use only "risk money." Risk money is money that you can afford to lose. It would not make you happy if you did lose it, but your life would go on without any change. In other words, risk money is money that is not needed for any necessity. As we transition from paper trading to real money trading, we must not use the rent money, mortgage money, grocery money, car payment money, insurance premium money, or tuition money. If that is all we have, it is not yet time to trade real money. Using money to trade that is needed for some necessity is dangerous and can cloud judgment. It places undue pressure on us. Lee Trevino, the famous golfer, once said something like: "Pressure is standing over a $50 putt with only $5 in your pocket."
As we begin trading, we must understand it is a business; successful traders rarely are gamblers. They do everything they can to put the odds in their favor. In addition to using only risk money, they carefully manage the money they are trading. One way to manage money for the beginning trader with a small account is to make equal dollar trades. If the trader is starting with $5,000 for example, each trade might be $500 or $250. What we don't want to do is make one trade $2,500 and the next $250. How could we possibly know which one is going to be successful? Generally, Murphy's Law goes into operation and we have a big loss on the $2,500 trade and a small gain on the $250 trade. Trading in that fashion soon takes the trader out of the game. Our first objective is to stay in the game. Making equal dollar trades helps us do that. Even if we lost all the money risked on one trade it would not be the end of the world. Of course, if we have a good exit plan, it would be unlikely that we could lose everything invested on the trade. On the other hand, if we placed a large portion of our money at risk on a single trade, it could end our career.
I once had a student who began trading real money and was doing quite well. He was making equal dollar trades and had six or seven winners in a row. He was calling me every day and telling me how well he was doing. "Bill," he would say, "I made $700 today." Or, "I just made $550" and so on. One day, the phone didn't ring. I did not hear from him for several days so I finally called and asked how he was doing. He told me he no longer was trading. When I asked why, he responded that after all the successes in a row he thought he had figured out what the stock he was playing was doing. He put ALL his money on a bullish play and the next morning the company issued some bad news, an analyst downgraded it and the stock gapped down several dollars. He had bought out of the money calls and was literally wiped out. He has never traded again.
That sad story is all about money management and greed. If we manage our money properly, we remove a large part of the risk and prevent our greed from enticing us to do what the fellow in my example did. As we begin to trade real money, we are still building our confidence. Our paper trading may have been very successful, but it just isn't the same. Now, something important is on the line. Take it easy. Build confidence with equal dollar trades. If you lose part of your money on a small trade, so what? You will have losing trades so keep the losses small.
I believe an even better way to manage trading money is to use equal percentage trades rather than equal dollar trades. That is difficult to do with a small account, but can definitely be utilized as your account grows. I personally favor making trades where only 3% to 5% of risk money is placed at risk in any given trade. When losses are incurred and the account value drops, the next trade automatically is made for a lesser amount and when gains are made, greater amounts automatically are invested.
This seemingly simple device of managing money can build confidence, protect assets, and enable the trader to stay in the game. When tempted to "put it all on black" please remember my friend's story.
Good Trading!

The Week At A Glance According To The Charts
Transition from Paper to Real Money Trading
Transition from Paper to Real Money Trading -- by Bill Kraft
Copyright 2007, Makin' Hay, Inc., All Rights Reserved
Bill Kraft
Editor
I received a letter to the editor this week that highlights one of the paramount hurdles a trader must cross before becoming successful. Here is the letter:
"Mr. Bill Kraft
I truly enjoy your weekend newsletters they are very informative and try to apply your advice to my trading style. I have been paper trading for about a year now and in the last 2 months my success rate has improved to 70% winning trades. I'm writing to you for advice on transitioning from paper trading to live trading. My fear of risk of losing money has limited my success. Emotions are changing the way I think. I'm not sticking to my trading plan, and I'm exiting my trades too early which I don't do on my paper trades. If you can't control your fear, then you won't have patience. If you have any advice maybe you could write on this in one of your newsletters.
Steve (last name withheld)"
Steve, I want to thank you for your letter and assure you that you are not alone. Steve has done all the right things so far. He has developed and tested a trading plan. Without such a plan, he would have been doomed to failure absent uncanny luck. By paper trading his plan, he has demonstrated unequivocally that it works. In the last 2 months he has had a success rate of 70% which is not shabby by any standard. He has demonstrated patience by sticking to paper trading for a year. In short, Steve has paid his dues. Now he would like to cash in on his efforts, but emotion has hurt his effectiveness.
Paper trading has great value and, in my view, is a necessary foundation to real money trading. As Steve (and almost everyone else who has ever paper traded) has learned, though, it is not the same as real money trading. Once we put our hard earned cash at risk, fear of loss rears its head and can take control if we let it. In order to overcome this hurdle, let's see what paper trading really does for us.
When we paper trade we are learning how to implement a strategy. We learn the "ins" and "outs" of entry and exits and we test our plan. Over time, we come to see whether our plan succeeds or not. We can see where we make mistakes and learn from them. As time goes on, and we develop and use a successful plan, we can see that we can do it. We have proved to ourselves that we can do it -- we can trade profitably! That realization brings a justifiably higher level of confidence with it. Now we are ready to trade with real money. But, folks, it just isn't the same. When we were paper trading, we had nothing to lose. Now, with cash on the line the "pucker factor" arises.
Instead of doing what we were doing so successfully on paper, we change things. As Steve wrote: "I'm not sticking to my trading plan." It is easy to say: "Why not, Steve, it was working quite well, wasn't it?" But that does not really help. Steve and the rest of us know that is the logical truth, but trading encompasses the danger of so much emotional reaction that is hard to control. One answer to the dilema is to realize that the vast amount of traders in the retail market are trading on emotion and losing. If you can be one of those who separates from the emotional crowd and sticks to a plan that you already know is successful, you have increased your odds of being a winner dramatically.
Another important factor that I have found helps overcome emotion is to set your exit plan before you ever enter a trade. I suggest, for example, that it not be a target since once a target is hit what is to say that the move will not continue. Instead, as a target is approached, why not just tighten stops. If the target is reached and the move backs off, you will automatically be out. If the move goes on past the target, you will not have cut your profits.
As time goes on, I'll try to address the critically important issues raised by Steve's letter. For now, let me congratulate him on developing such a successful plan and suggest that he answered his own question. He recognizes he is exiting too early and he recognizes he is not following his already proven plan. Maybe it would be a good idea to take the cash off the table for another month and paper trade some more to satisfy himself that the plan does work, or, if he still wants to trade cash, make small equal dollar risk trades and follow the plan.
I want to thank Steve, again, for writing. Almost all of us who have become successful traders have gone through what he is going through now. The emotional barrier is extremely difficult to overcome. Developing the discipline to follow a proven plan is necessary and definitely worth the effort, but is difficult to achieve.
Good Trading!

BVX has just come off a double bottom after announcing a record net earnings and earnings per share for fiscal 2006 and their 4th quarter.

I will look at this one as a potentially high risk maybe high reward candidate next week.

The Week At A Glance According To The Charts
Realistic Expectancies
Realistic Expectancies -- by Bill Kraft
Copyright 2007, Makin' Hay, Inc., All Rights Reserved
Bill Kraft
Editor
Every once in a while, I receive a communication that reveals what I consider to be an unrealistic expectancy and I know that many novice and retail traders do not have realistic expectancies. The other day, I received an email asking why I didn't find more higher returns in the $10 Trader. The writer was inquiring whether I couldn't find trades that made more than 30 or 40 cents. He is not alone. I would love to find more trades with better and higher returns on cheap stocks, but the reality is that a 40 cent gain on a $5 stock is 8%. Most of the trades I make fall into the category of swing trades and are closed within a few days to a few weeks of entry. 5% or 8% in a week or two really isn't too bad in my world. Compare that kind of return to a savings account or a CD and you quickly realize that such a trade makes more in a short time than the CD or savings account makes in a year.
I believe it is critically important to successful trading to have realistic expectations. The following list sets out some expectations that are part of the realism of trading:
It takes work to make money trading
It takes knowledge to make money trading
No matter who you are, you will have losing trades
No single trade is likely to make you rich
Only expect to make money if you understand and apply money management principles
Expect to take risk in order to trade
Make your profit expectations reasonable - 100% a month probably isn't a reasonable expectation
Don't expect that anyone is going to have 100% winning trades
Expect to study markets, strategies, and psychology if you want to be a successful trader
Don't expect to get rich quick
Expect to pay for your education (college wasn't free was it?)
Expect to keep careful records so you can see what you are doing right and what you are doing wrong
Expect to be responsible for your own trades, and recognize that no one else is
Expect to go through a learning curve before you are a good trader
Obviously, this is only a partial list, but I want to emphasize the importance of realism over fantasy. Believe me, if I could predict which trades on cheap stocks would make more than 5% or 10% in a short time, I would be placing them. Trading is not an easy business. In the heyday of day trading in a super bull market only about 16% of the day traders were making money. If it were easy, everyone would do it. It takes work, persistence, regular study and good money management to be an overall winner. Luck may be with you on some trades, but reliance on luck will ultimately lead you to the poor house. Make the effort and the expectancy of making money is more likely to be fulfilled. If you won't make the effort, then don't expect success. It is really that simple.
Good Trading!

165% Gains on battery stock.
Your last chance
to buy at $1…
The word is getting out… The volume is rising… This may be your last chance to buy this micro-cap stock at $1 per share.
Since recommending this Australian micro-cap mining company in December, subscribers of my Diligent Investor MicroCap Hot Sheet service are already seeing gains of 165%!
But the run is just getting started. This Micro-Cap Stock Could Make You a 1,329% Gain…
And best of all, you can own this stock with good conscience. You’re helping the environment. You see this companies rare earth deposits are essential for zero-emissions hybrid car batteries. As you may expect with gas pushing $3, there are expected to be at least 2 million hybrids sold annually in the next two years.
But the hybrid car manufacturers can’t keep up with demand.
And this company is set to profit. The metal oxides in this micro-cap company’s mine in Australia have gained 105% in value since the end of 2005!
And perhaps the most astonishing part, you still have time to buy this socially conscious micro-cap stock at $1… and be on the road to 1,329% gains.
This is by far the best opportunity I’ve ever come across. It could be the most important mining companies of this decade…
I urge you to read my free white paper, before this stock rises even more. Like I said, we've already seen gains of 165%. And from there, it’s off to the races…

Tiny $0.35 Australian Miner
Breaks China’s “Rare Earth”
Monopoly– Could Hit $5 as
New Commodity Boom Rages
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you can meet the three qualifications outlined below,
you could ride this tiny $0.35 micro-cap to $5 per share.
(That’s a 1,300% gain. But you’ll have to move fast – membership is limited...)
Dear Reader,
In the next three minutes, you’ll learn all about a tiny $0.35 micro-cap stock on the verge of an explosive bolt upward.
If things shake out the way I expect... this stock could hit $5 by July 2007. Worst case, I’m confident this company could blast through $3.50 by Easter Sunday.
That’s a healthy 900% gain...
And listen: Not only is this profit opportunity likely, I believe it’s a near certainty.
You’ll see why in just a moment...
But here’s the thing: Only a handful of the folks who read this letter will be allowed to profit from the information I’m about to reveal. In fact, most people will be intentionally excluded so that a smaller private group can enjoy the full rewards.
The good news is, if you can meet three qualifications outlined in this letter, you’ll most likely grab yourself a piece of the action.
And make no mistake: What you’re about to discover could hand you a potential 1,300% gain in the next six months. In the long run, it could provide you with a slew of tenbaggers... delivered to your inbox... each and every month.
But I’m getting ahead of myself and the background story will absolutely floor you...
A Tidal Wave of Tenbaggers
By the way, my name is A.M. Sosnowski. I’m a senior investment analyst for the Taipan Group, a financial publishing company based in Baltimore, Maryland since 1989.
As the editor of both WaveStrength Trader and Diligent Investor (and a frequent contributor to the Taipan newsletter), I spend my days analyzing stock charts and pinpointing lucrative trading opportunities for roughly 23,000 readers.
I don’t mean to brag, but in 2006 alone, my readers have racked up gains of 150%, 58%, 75%, 65%, 54%, 53%, 50%, 25%, 40%, 37%, 29%, 32%, 31%, 26%, 29% and many more.
Not too shabby. Especially when you consider our conservative low-risk approach. But here’s the thing: About once a month, I uncover a tiny stock that makes the above gains look like child’s play.
These micro-cap stocks are small. But they don’t stay that way for long. In fact, some of them go on to deliver astronomical returns.
Many of them, in fact, have soared tenfold. Some have even returned 20-to-1.
But, for reasons I’ll explain, I’ve been unable to recommend these surefire winners to my 23,000 readers. Bottom line: I’ve had to keep my mouth shut and watch quietly as these stocks bolt into orbit.
Force Protection (FRPT.OB) is a perfect example...
Force Protection is located on Highway 78 in Ladson, South Carolina. It designs and manufactures ballistic and blast-protected military vehicles — things like tanks and patrol vehicles.
When I first discovered Force Protection back in December 2005, it was trading for about 70 cents per share. I knew right away that FRPT was destined for big gains.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t recommend FRPT to my WaveStrength readers.
Why?
Because the stock was a micro cap... so small that only a small fraction of my readers would have been able to get in at the 70-cent price before the added volume pushed the stock much higher.
Think about it: 23,000 people rushing into a tiny micro-cap stock would double, triple or quadruple the price very quickly. Because I want all my readers to profit from my recommendations, I had to set FRPT aside.
Let me tell you right now, it was pure agony to let Force Protection slide... because even though I couldn’t recommend it, I knew it was a homerun in the making.
And you know what? I was right.
In fact, in the following months, FRPT took off. The stock quickly doubled... and doubled... and doubled again!
By June 2006, FRPT hit $6 and kept on going, eventually hitting $17.20 on Dec. 6, 2006. When all was said and done, Force Protection went from 70 cents to $17.20 in less than a year.
That’s a gain of over 2,345%!
People who got in early could have made 23 times their money in 12 months!
I come across a micro-cap stock like FRPT about once a month. And I wish I could tell my readers about them. Unfortunately, the very best companies are simply too small to recommend to my entire file of over 23,000 readers.
Tix Corporation (TIXC.OB) is another example...
Tix Corporation is based in Studio City, California. Right outside of Hollywood, it’s big in “show biz.”
In fact, its primary source of revenue is ticket sales to Las Vegas shows. Sounds kind of funny, I understand. But the thing is, these guys are making money hand over fist.
When I first spotted TIX back in May 2006, it was trading for $0.35.
I knew right away TIX was headed for the big time. But, because it had a tiny market cap, I couldn’t recommend the stock to my 23,000 readers.
You can probably guess what happened. TIXC.OB took off almost immediately.
Practically overnight, TIX doubled. By October, it had doubled again. And by December 2006, it hit $5.90 per share! Take a look at the chart:
That’s a fifteen-fold return in about six months!
But as I said, I couldn’t recommend TIX to my readers. Sure, some of them would have gotten in. But the majority would have missed out.
I come across a lot of stocks like Tix Corporation when I run my weekly stock screens. In fact, I uncover at least one hot micro-cap stock every month. And while not all of them go gangbusters, many of them deliver stunning triple- and quadruple-digit gains. For example:
Cambridge Heart, Inc. (CAMH.OB): This medical research firm went from 25 cents in December 2005 to $3.80 in November 2006. That’s over 1,000% in 11 months.
Patriot Scientific Corporation (PTSC.OB): This microprocessor company went from 20 cents in January 2006 to $2.25 in March 2006. That’s 1,000% in three months.
Foamex International (FMXIQ.PK): This polyurethane manufacturer went from 30 cents in April 2006 to $4.10 in August 2006. That’s 1,000% in four months.
Frontier Development Group (FRG.TO): This uranium miner went from 75 cents in September 2004 to $8.23 in April 2006. That’s over 1,000% in 18 months.
Strata Oil & Gas (SOIGF.OB:OTC): This Canadian oil exploration company went from 79 cents in September 2005 to $7.95 in July 2006. That’s over 1,000% in 10 months.
International Tower Hill Mines (ITH.V): This junior gold miner went from 34 cents in May 2006 to $3.40 in September 2006. That’s 1,000% in four months.
Katanga Mining (KAT.TO): This copper company went from 80 cents in June 2005 to $8.45 in April 2006. That’s 1,000% in 10 months.
ECU Silver (ECU.V): This silver miner went from $0.35 in December 2005 to $3.65 in September 2006... a 1,000% gain in 9 months.
Blue Pearl Mining (BLE.TO): This exploration company went from 70 cents in January 2006 to $7.55 in October 2006... a 1,000% gain in under 10 months.
Of course, these stocks have already had their big run. It’s too late to buy them now. But here’s the good news for you:
I’ve just isolated the next micro-cap sensation...
As, you’ll see in a moment, this tiny 35-cent company is hands down the single most lucrative investment I’ve seen in the last three years. Maybe ever.
And the thing I love best about this company is that by buying shares today not only could you make a fortune... but you could also stick a sharp knife in China’s ruthless trade practices. (More about this in just a second...)
Could this 35-cent stock be the next tenbagger?
Absolutely! In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if it went all the way to $6.50 or even $7 per share.
And here’s the best part: While this tiny company is too small to recommend to my 23,000 readers... I’ve figured out a way to share it with you today!
This is very exciting time for me. As you can imagine, I’ve been going nearly crazy the last couple years... watching these micro-cap stocks skyrocket... and not being able to tell anyone about them!
I’m not about to let this next stock get away.
Like I said, this next micro-cap sensation could be the biggest winner of all.
Most people don’t know about this company yet. It’s too small. But in the coming months, I bet we’ll see big institutions and mutual funds begging to buy this stock for $2... $3... even $4 per share.
You can get in today for $0.35!
I’ll tell you how to buy shares of this company in just a moment.
But first, let me give you the fascinating background story on this tiny Australian company...

Tiny microcap makes giant leap in the race to save half a billion lives!
A new disease is sweeping America, more deadly than AIDS, more silent than heart disease, and so new that it didn’t even have a name until 1994.
Tiny HepaLife Technologies (HPLF) just passed
an important milestone in a breakthrough
treatment that could give you a potential 500%
in a few short weeks. Here’s why…

full report,

I specialize in finding stocks that are ready to give investors a big payday. One of my recent discoveries shot up 37% on the day I recommended it.
That was just a few months ago. It went on to give 165% profits in the first nine days after my recommendation.
Another pick only three months earlier gave my readers 528% in 90 days.
HPLF could be your next big winner, giving you a chance for 500% gains practically overnight .
The reason is because HepaLife has a new discovery that has worldwide importance. The company’s product in development could potentially be the difference between life or death for victims of a deadly new disease that attacks its victims’ livers.
You can read my full report on this deadly new disease, and why you could make a quick 500% on HepaLife’s important discovery, in a FREE special report that I prepared for my subscribers.

From The Desk of Kenneth Maseka
Once a year the founder and majority owner of Gryphon Financial and THE NETWORK personally sends out one trade. So powerful it could only be considered
the 2007 LOCK OF THE YEAR.
Register for Free The Network Newsletter
Now I am going outside the regular Network channels and writing you on my own e-mail address because what I am about to disclose to you is so secret that only a handful of my best friends, most trusted advisors and a few carefully selected clients, like yourself, will ever know about it.
All i can say is, how did you know to buy ICE when all of wall street wasn't even paying attention. I put $10,000 on the March $120 calls at $1.75 and a month and a half later was looking at a $395,000 posistion. My entire famaily thanks you.
Walter Haddock Quakers Hill, AU
You can be trusted. I know that. Your record with Gryphon financial is exceptional. I feel almost as though I know you personally. After all we took money out of Wall Street all of last year.
I know you were as good as your word last year and all your dealings with Gryphon and that gives me trust in you.
That kind of c loseness has to be recognized. And I also want to recognize that you are a cherished client.
To reward you for your loyalty and patronage, I am inviting you to join me in a personal and private venture this year, joining a small but elite cartel that is raising serious money to buy the best information we can find. Kenneth, I've only talked with you once on the lock of the year in 2003 I sold all my DXPE and pocketed over $750,000 on one trade. Never in my life could I have dreamed to do this. You changed my families life, thank you.
L. Lexsell, Stockholm Sweden
This is an ABSOLUTELY SECRET OFFER that can make you more money than you ever dreamed possible. I am talking about leading you deep behind the scenes to the strongest trades on Wall Street. Trades that win 90% of the time because the information is THAT GOOD! Only a fluke could turn these trades against us.
This is information from the most serious investors in the world. And I am in co ntact with them. I am uniquely positioned to p! ull this off because of the power of my NETWORK.
Gives me access behind the scenes that no one else can get. Kenneth Maseka Bought 250,000 shares of the 2004 lock of the year ISON at $1.16, came out with over $564,000 in 2 months. Unbelievable.
P. Koncurat, Pennsylvania
Over the years, I've been introduced to many info men and power men in investing. I know market makers, owners of firms, traders, CEO's, and the top 1% of the wealth in the world but best of all we know bugs who live and die for extra information that means the difference between winning and losing.
These are men with incredible contacts that go deep below the surface. The reason they share this information is simple. SPREAD THE WEALTH because of their generosity they seem to always get first crack at breaking information on a regular basis.
After 20 years of traveling in their circles, exchanging information and sometimes helping them out, some time using their sources to help my clients, I am now FIRMLY hooked up with this group.
AND I AM TAKING A FEW GOOD MEN WITH ME.
I am writing to you because of your record and loyalty to Gryphon deserves a reward. I want to offer you the chance to take your investing to a much higher level.
Now I am not completely at liberty to say much more here I can't divulge this information in an e-mail. For all the details I must speak to you personally.
Remember, keep this to yourself. 500,000 shares of OPTN at $2.67 out at $13.70 in 3 months, 5.5 million in profits, great trade.
M. Sabbah, NY, NY

1) MARKET SUMMARY
> >From "The Daily" at InvestmentHouse.com
Basket of good news keeps stocks rising.
- Enough good news to keep stocks climbing right on through the Friday close.
- Mid-cycle slowdown getting some serious threats from inflation as Bush administration pursues its foolish weaker dollar policy.
- Core PPI shows some promise but the overall is suffering from high energy and high food. Getting hard to hide from inflation in this economy.
- Indices poised for a low volume rendezvous with February highs. We need to be ready when it gets there.
Market Summary (continued)
Thursday was a good answer to the Wednesday distribution, but it was not strong enough to completely quash the higher volume selling that rudely butted in following the low volume rally. Friday morning investors were again mulling whether they should bid stocks higher once more as futures were flat to modestly lower.
Then a stream of solid news began. First there were earnings. GE was good enough. MRK beat, raised guidance, and then got a bonus from a federal judge that ruled investor claims were time-barred. MCD fried up some more strong earnings and raised its guidance as well. It is hardly acting like the oldest fast food burger joint around. The Producers Price Index did not produce investor price angst as the core was flat, pulling the year/year into the Fed's comfort zone. Energy and food? That was another story, but it was not one investors wanted to deal with early Friday.
Even with that, however, stocks started flat to lower. Then the Michigan preliminary sentiment index came in at 85.3 versus the 87.5 expected (and 88.4 prior), and with that 8 month low (the last at the last market correction) the market pitched lower. Not that much lower, however. The indices easily held above the 10 day EMA and then rebounded, once more showing a steady climb higher. It was not the same as Thursday, however, in that the climb was rather anemic. Positive yes, but unable to make nearly any headway in what was a very lackluster session.

CX (Cemex SA--$34.79; -0.21; optionable): Cement
Company Profile
EARNINGS: Late April
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. After a very nice run from January to February it needed a break and formed the current 7 week base to do just that. It rallied sharply to start last week, clearing the 'hump' in the double bottom. It faded back to form the handle, holding above the 50 day SMA (34.50) on lower volume. May take a couple more sessions to form up but solid action setting up another breakout and run higher.

2) Stock Splits
Playing stock splits can be very profitable, but it takes know-how. Our stock split service focuses on three main types of plays:
1) pre-announcement (where we forecast an upcoming split prior to the company making the announcement); 2) pre-split (these plays are made in the days leading up to the actual split day); and 3) post-split plays (plays made after the actual stock split where the stock is showing continued or renewed strength).
For post-splits, we can play them as we would pre-splits (very short term), but we prefer to stretch our horizons, playing the trend. When playing options, we look further out, 2 or more months at least. We let the trend carry us along if there is one, but we will also take profits if the technical pattern degenerates, e.g., breaks a trendline. The main difference between post-splits and pre-splits plays is that we really have to like the pattern. Pre-splits can run right before their splits even with poor technical indicators. For post-splits, we are looking at the stocks from more of a longer term "would I buy this stock at this juncture?" position. Now there are times when a hot stock splits and investors pile in to get in while the stock is 'cheaper.' We play those, but with more of a short-term, pre-splits mentality in that we will be ready to get out fast if the momentum fades.
Remember, everything we do has to pass muster with the market that day ... don't fight the market on these plays.
Listen to Stock Split Report Editor Jon Johnson's
stock split interview on CNBC-TV [ Broadband | Dial-up ]
Here's a post-split play and our current analysis.
Chart by StockCharts.com
ROCM (Rochester Medical Corp.)
Company Profile
When the market gets choppy as it did during the late February and early March selling, we often look toward the healthcare sector to see how they are setting up for upside moves. ROCM was on our radar for a few reasons. It was a post-split play, it was showing some strong upside volume in early February, and it had set up a classic double bottom base in the market selling. When we saw strong volume off the second bottom in the double bottom we put it on the report (3-10-07). The next session (3-12-07) it broke sharply higher on very strong trade and we moved in, buying some stock positions at $17.45 (no options on this stock so we did not buy those as we often do on these breakouts). ROCM added $1.27 that first day of the breakout and another $1.50 over the next two sessions. After that initial run we anticipated a test (that is very typical after the initial breakout and pop higher), and it faded modestly the next two sessions as the 10 day EMA rose to meet it. When it got there it sent ROCM right back up the next session with a $2.24 gain. The next session ROM was up again, but it reversed intraday. After this sharp run we decided to take some of the gain off the table, and sold some positions for $21.03 for a nice 22% gain in just 7 sessions.
ROCM was not done. With such solid upside volume we anticipated it would give us more and that is why we kept half of the position alive. It rallied from $20.54 to $23.42 over the next 5 sessions. We thought about taking some gain but decided to let it stretch the move. Well, it worked laterally and then tested sharply lower intraday to start April. We sat tight and sure enough it rebounded just as hard. It took a bit of a breather to end last week, closing at $23.59. We are up 35% on those positions in a month. If it breaks higher from here we will let it run. It showed two distribution sessions thus far this month, however, so any further weakness here and we will look at locking in the 35% on the rest of the positions.
ROCM is rather unheralded, but our screens seek out quality stocks in good position to breakout and run, and it doesn't discriminate between well known stocks and those with not quite household names. The result is that we often find some real gems at very nice prices.

Stock guru Brian Hicks has discovered a small $122 million online video company in San Francisco that's become one of the fastest growing sites on the entire Internet. A site that now gets more traffic than the fool.com... and is even as popular as Playboy.com.
The website was the 15,000th most visited site on the Internet 5 months ago. Today it's the 1,148th most visited site. Take a look at their traffic growth, as measured by Alexa:
How did they grow so fast so soon?
By being the online version of the reality shows The Bachelor, Dancing with the Stars and even American Idol.
In fact, this website has an exclusive deal with a former American Idol champion.
The company's stock has already doubled since November... and Brian thinks it'll quadruple in the next 12 months.
The stock is only $5.25... that means in the next 12 months it could be as high as $21.
But don't wait to buy the stock.
Last July Brian turned super bullish on technology. He told his readers to reposition their portfolios to take advantage of emerging technology issues.
His first tech trade returned immediate results. He purchased shares of MRAM developer NVE Corp (NVEC) for $16.45 on July 14... and sold it in September for $37.50 for a 3-month gain of 127.9%.
After that... he ran the table:
Traffic.com +34%
SiRF Technology +58%
Zoltec +17.75%
Polycom +25%
Force Protection +175%
Freescale Semiconductors +39.8%
"The New YouTube" +34%
Count them up and do the math. In the last 7 months, he's recommended 8 stocks. All 8 are winners. No losers. The cumulative gain is 511.45%.
In a free report, Hicks - founder of Quantum Investor - reveals his #1 technology stock under $10 a share.

U.S. Mining Syndicate STUNS Kremlin --
Seizes Commodity Fortune!
Africa's $10 Billion Secret
How a 2,600-Year-Old Egyptian
Artifact Could Launch a Tiny $2 Mining
Stock to $27 by September 22, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Reader,
The true story you're about to read is like something out of a Tom Clancy spy thriller:
A flamboyant Russian billionaire... a former KGB agent bent on revenge... a swank bordello in the French Alps... a $10 billion mineral mine hidden in Africa's rugged Gold Coast... a 2,600-year-old Egyptian artifact... and a tiny $2 micro-cap stock poised to hit $27 per share!
I'm telling you, the following pages are packed with pure intrigue and profit potential.
And here's the most exciting part: If things pan out the way I expect, the final chapter of this incredible story could hand you a tenfold gain by Sept. 22, 2007.
In the long run, it could make you 12-15 times your money. Maybe a whole lot more...
There is one catch, however...
Because the circumstances surrounding this opportunity are of a very delicate nature, less than 1% of the folks who read this letter will be allowed to profit from the information I'm about to reveal.
In fact, most people will be intentionally excluded so that a smaller, private group can enjoy the full rewards.
Now, that may seem unfair. And it probably is. But because this emerging situation requires absolute discretion, I have no choice but to limit the number of investors who can participate at this time.
The good news is, if you can meet the three qualifications outlined in this letter (and you're among the first to seize the opportunity at hand), you'll almost certainly end up on the winning side of the draw.
And make no mistake: What you're about to discover could hand you an explosive tenfold gain by Sept. 22, 2007. In the long run, it could provide you with a steady flow of triple-digit gains... delivered to your inbox... each and every month.
But I'm getting ahead of myself, and the background story is actually pretty amazing...
Tiny $1 Stocks That Double...
and DOUBLE... and DOUBLE AGAIN!
My name, by the way, is Andrew Mickey. I'm a senior investment analyst for the Taipan Group, a financial publishing company based in Baltimore, Maryland since 1989.
If my name sounds familiar, it's probably because you've seen me making the rounds on the financial news circuit.
In fact, I've been a guest on several programs, including WAMT Investments Advisor Review... Profitable Investing with Jordan Kimmel... Gold Seek Radio with Chris Waltzik... "Stock Breakthroughs"... and the WSBR Afternoon Financial Report, to name a few.
Or perhaps you know someone who saw me speak at an international investment conference.
Or maybe you heard me debating the global energy crisis on a syndicated talk radio show like Trader's Nation.
As the editor of BreakAway Investor (and a frequent contributor to the Taipan Letter), I spend my days uncovering lucrative trading opportunities for roughly 27,000 readers.
I don't mean to brag, but in the last few years alone, I've helped BreakAway Investor readers pull in gains of 383%... 270% ... 142%... 94%... 77%... 123%... 164%... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Not too bad. But here's the thing:
About once a month, I uncover a stock that makes the above gains look like child's play.
I call these stocks "prospectors" because they're usually tiny mining companies that no one else knows about.
Specializing in things like silver, nickel, uranium, iron ore, and copper, these micro-cap stocks are small. But they don't stay that way for long...
In fact, most of them go on to deliver astronomical returns. Many of them, in fact, have soared tenfold. Some have returned 20-to-1. And a few have even delivered 5,000% or more!
But for reasons I'll explain, I've been unable to recommend these surefire "prospector" stocks to my 27,000 readers.
Bottom line: I've had to keep my mouth shut, and watch quietly as these stocks launch into orbit.
Paladin Resources (PDN.AX) is a perfect example:
Paladin is a uranium mining company based in Western Australia. When I first discovered Paladin back in January 2005, it was trading for around 45 cents per share.
Because Paladin was on the leading edge of the uranium bull market, I knew it was destined for big gains.
Unfortunately, at the time, Paladin Resources was so small that I couldn't recommend it to my readers.
Why?
Because Paladin was a micro cap... so tiny that only a small fraction of my readers would have been able to get in at the 45-cent price before the added volume pushed the stock much higher.
Think about it: 27,000 people rushing into a tiny micro-cap stock would double, triple, or quadruple the price very quickly.
Because I want all my readers to have a real chance to profit from my recommendations, I had to set Paladin aside.
Let me tell you right now, it was pure agony to let Paladin slide... because even though I couldn't recommend it, I knew it was a homerun in the making.
And you know what? I was right...
In fact, in the following months, PDN took off. The stock doubled in less than a month... and then it doubled again... and again... and again!
By February 2007, Paladin had hit $10.75!
That's a gain of well over 2,000% in about two years!
People who got in on PDN early could have made 20 times their money in about two years.
Hidden in Plain Site
Now, stocks like Paladin are more common than most people realize. In fact, I come across a "prospector" stock like Paladin about once a month. And I wish I could tell my readers about them.
Problem is, the very best resource exploration stocks are simply too small to recommend to my entire file of over 27,000 readers.
Skye Resources (SKR.TO) is another example...
Skye is a nickel-mining company. Most people have never heard of it, partly because it trades on the Toronto Exchange.
When I first spotted SKR.TO back in August 2005, it was trading for about $1.75.
My mouth started watering because right away, I knew this company was headed for the big-time.
But, because it had a tiny market cap, I couldn't recommend it to my 27,000 readers.
You can probably guess what happened. SKR.TO took off almost immediately.
Just six months later, it had doubled to over $4. By August 2006, it had doubled again. And in September 2006, it hit $17.50 per share. Take a look at the chart:
That's a tenfold return in about one year!
But like I said, I couldn't recommend SKR.TO to my readers. Sure, some of them would have gotten in. But the majority would have missed out.
I come across a lot of stocks like Skye Resources when I run my weekly stock screens. In fact, I uncover at least one "prospector" every month.
And while not all of them go gangbusters, many of them deliver stunning triple- and quadruple-digit gains. For example:
Frontier Development Group (FRG.TO:TORONTO)
This uranium miner went from 75 cents in September 2004 to $8.23 in April 2006. That's nearly 1,000% in 18 months.
International Tower Hill Mines (ITH.V:CDNX)
This junior gold miner went from 34 cents in May 2006 to $3.40 in September 2006. That's 900% in four months.
Strata Oil & Gas (SOIGF.OB:OTC BB)
This Canadian oil exploration company went from 79 cents in September 2005 to $7.95 in July 2006. That's over 900% in 10 months.
Katanga Mining (KAT.TO:Toronto)
This copper company went from 80 cents in June 2005 to $8.45 in April 2006. That's 956% in 10 months.
Peru Copper (CUP:AMEX)
This copper miner went from $1 in July 2005 to $6.90 in June 2006. That's 590% in 11 months.
U.S. Gold Corp.(USGL.OB:OTC BB)
This gold company went from $1 in August 2005 to $10.30 in April 2006. A 930% gain in eight months.
And then there was Western Prospector Group (WNP.V)...
Although most folks have never heard of this tiny mineral miner, its stock price has soared a staggering 6,100% in the last four years!
People who got in early made 60 times their money.
Think about that...
If you had put $5,000 into Western Prospector back in 2003, you could now be sitting on $310,000. $10,000 could now be worth $620,000.
And a $25,000 investment in Western Prospector could have grown to over $1.5 million in just 48 months!
Of course, Western Prospector has already had its big run. It's too late to get in now. But here's the good news:
I've just isolated the next "prospector" stock.
As you'll see in a moment, this tiny $2 mineral exploration company is hands down the single most lucrative investment I've seen in the last five years.
Could this $2 stock deliver a 6,100% gain like Western Prospector? Well, that might be a bit optimistic.
But I'm absolutely confident this stock could hit $27 in the next 12 months. In the long run, it could soar to $55 per share.
Not only is this target price likely... I believe it's a near certainty. You'll see why in just a moment.
And here's the best part: While this stock is too small for me to recommend to my 27,000 readers... I've figured out a way to share it with you today!
This is a very exciting time for me. As you can imagine, I've been going near crazy the last couple years... watching these "prospector" stocks skyrocket... and not being able to tell anyone about them!
I'm not about to let this next stock get away.
Like I said, this next "prospector" could be the biggest winner of all.
Most people don't know about this company yet. It's too small. But in the coming months, I bet we'll see big institutions and mutual funds begging to buy this stock for $12... $14... even $17 per share.
You can get in today for $2!
I'll tell you how to buy shares of this company in just a moment. But first, let me give you the fascinating background story on this tiny mineral mining company.
Devil in a Blue Dress
If you follow the financial news, you know that commodities and natural resources have been in a major bull market for the last few years. In fact, the CRB Index -- which is a measure of commodity prices -- recently hit its highest level since 1980.
What's behind this staggering rise in commodity prices?
Read on to learn how the explosion in commodity prices will propel this $2 stock to $27 in less than 6 months.

1) MARKET SUMMARY
> >From "The Daily" at InvestmentHouse.com
Sellers nowhere to be found as market melts higher, caps upside week.
- Stocks rise early, rise late, close higher yet again.
- Bonds continue to do the Fed's work for it as they price in some inflation worries.
- Jobs report and revisions shows continued growth.
- Riding the low volume ripple up toward the February highs and earnings.
Market Summary (continued)
For a schedule light of economic data, there certainly was a plethora of information to wade through in the pre-market. Jobless claims rose to 321K, almost smack on target (320K) and though up, at a level indicating a sustainable jobs market. Indeed, the Monster.com jobs report jumped to a record level. The Bank of England left interest rates steady. China raised bank reserve requirements (for the sixth time since June 2006). Norfolk Southern railroads announced rail rates were lower and carload volumes were lower as well. Talk about a mixed bag. How would the market sort it out?
From the look of it, it ignored it all. They sized up the news and opened flat to lower. Once again, however, they started a slow, steady rise. Indeed, the price action resembled that seen in a strong bullish run higher: steady moves up, tests back to the 15 minute moving average, then another steady move higher. We anticipated some selling attempts to stall the move out heading into the long weekend and ahead of the Friday jobs report, but sellers didn't want any of that. Sure there were a couple of tries to take it lower, one right before lunch and then again in the last hour, but the market shook it off.
Ever since the two sharper down sessions two weeks back the sellers have left the building. Upside volume has not really surged (though it was fairly solid on NASDAQ Tuesday), but with the sellers AWOL, stocks could drift higher toward the prior highs. Enough so that NASDAQ and DJ30 put together a string of 6 straight upside sessions.

2) Stock Splits
Playing stock splits can be very profitable, but it takes know-how. Our stock split service focuses on three main types of plays:
1) pre-announcement (where we forecast an upcoming split prior to the company making the announcement); 2) pre-split (these plays are made in the days leading up to the actual split day); and 3) post-split plays (plays made after the actual stock split where the stock is showing continued or renewed strength).
Remember, everything we do has to pass muster with the market that day ... don't fight the market on these plays.

BWLD (Buffalo Wild Wings Inc.)
Company Profile
Most of the focus is on energy and metals as commodities are hot once more, and of course we are participating in that move with stocks such as RIO, RS, and FCX. Indeed we took some gain on all of those positions Thursday after a strong run higher for us. That does not mean, however, that there are not other areas enjoying nice moves.
Retail sectors continue to perform, splashing some cold water on the economic sky is falling pundits. We always look for fundamentally strong stocks with great technical patterns, and there are many in the retail area. BWLD enjoys strong earnings growth, and back in mid March it was putting the finishing touches on a 13 week reverse head and shoulders base, an accumulation pattern that often produces strong upside breakouts. We put it on the report and waited for it to make the move.
It started that move on 3-13 with a high volume surge toward the prior highs. It gave back a big part of the move that session but we liked it enough to move in. We bought some positions at $57.48 and some June $55 strike call options at $6.40. Then we waited for the move. BWLD took the next day off then rallied $1.79. Another day off and then a $2.51 gain on strong volume. It continued to stair-step up the 10 day EMA (a level that typically acts as support on a strong breakout) over the next 12 sessions, sprinkling in some scintillating moves along the way ($3.25, $1.85). It hit our initial target at $64.75 on 4-02, but the upside volume was so strong we decided to let it run toward the end of the shortened week. It continued higher until Thursday when it started to fade some. Our plan was to sell some prior to the long weekend so we sold some stock at $67.01, banking at 16.5% gain. We also sold some options for $13, banking 103% or $660/contract.
We also made some great money on other sector plays such as GIGM and MO last week in addition to the energy, metals, and retail plays. I guess smoking while on the internet is becoming a new American pastime. In any event, there are plenty of sectors with strong stocks moving higher outside of the sectors that are covered hourly on the financial stations. It pays to tune out the noise and look at what the market is telling you as to what is moving and where the money is flowing. That helps you get ready for the move before it starts and cut a big fat chunk of the gain out of the middle of the run. Or in the case of BWLD, a big greasy chicken wing. You don't have to like what they serve or sell to make money off of it.

> >From "The Daily" at InvestmentHouse.com
Feds undercut a rally attempt, but stocks manage to rebound to flat.
- End of quarter pushed energy, weakened techs. Can the market revert to pre-Wednesday?
- New tariff raises the fear of more to come and retaliation, but it sure sounds like Japan bashing in the 1980's.
- Chicago PMI surges back, spending and income remain strong while oil and gasoline continue their ascent.
- Indices still at a crossroads in the rally and importantly, still in a correction.
Market Summary (continued)
It could have been a really bad week for the market and we had some issues that confronted stocks that were really beyond the scope of the usual market action. It all hit on Wednesday after we had a nice pullback underway. Fed Chairman Bernanke did not please the market with his comments to Congress regarding inflation. Indeed, he said that inflation was still a problem for the economy and the Fed's main concern moving forward. His testimony was part of the issues that helped bring things lower Wednesday, but the market also gapped lower that day, as other issues in addition to the Fed undermine confidence (isn't that always the case when the Fed is active?). Investors have to deal with the Iran/UK problem where the servicemen are being held hostage, in turn helping push oil steadily higher all week. That started undermining strength in the market subsequent to the rebound and the follow through, turning an orderly test into more sharp, volatile selling.
The market did manage to catch itself. It wasn't just a plunge into oblivion after Bernanke came out and oil prices surged. Stocks finished out the week testing lower, but then rebounded as the sessions went on to close. The market started to sell off after the handle that was forming after the follow-through two Wednesdays back, but the handle is still holding up. All the indices are not equal right now, however, as the S&P 500 and the S&P 600 are still in decent shape, the small caps in excellent shape. NASDAQ and SOX, well, they're trying to abdicate their leadership once more. They were trying to take the lead as this last rally started.
We have seen that before; we saw it back in 2006 when that rally started. NASDAQ shot out front, but could not sustain the lead and left it up to energy, metals and materials on the S&P 500 and the S&P 600 to lead the market while the techs were happy to tag along. They tried again at the start of 2007, but abdicated that lead after just a week. Now after jumping out in front in the rally off the lows with chips surging and NASDAQ providing the follow through, they are fading once more. The irony is NASDAQ provided that follow through session two weeks back and is now the index that is in more trouble than SP500 or SP600.

Here's a trade from "The Daily" and insights into our trading strategy:
Chart by StockCharts.com
TRW (TRW Automotive Holdings Corp.)
Company Profile
Sometimes strong moves come from unexpected quarters. That is why we always scan the market looking for leaders regardless of the sector of the economy. That means leaving preconceived notions in the briefcase when looking for stocks. While we may believe a sector or stock is not going anywhere, the market has the last word.
Thus when we were looking at the market in early March we saw the automotive parts makers showing some relative strength even to the energy stocks. TRW was one such stock, coming back to test the February breakout, easing back to near support at the 18 day EMA, showing a doji on the candlestick chart. After a pullback that often indicates the test is over.
When we saw that we put it on the report on 3-1-07. Three sessions later it surged higher on stronger volume and we moved in, buying some stock positions at $30.55 and some July $30 strike call options at $2.85. With a 62 delta (meaning they move roughly $0.62 for every dollar stock price move) they would give us good gains if the stock ran as anticipated. Given the size of the runs TRW puts together, we were looking for about 5 points on this next surge.
TRW added $0.30 the follow session and then got its legs, pushing higher by $0.99. As is often the case after a strong move it took a pause, but the next session was at it again with a $1.19 gain. It took a couple of days off, fading slightly, but as volume was low & it easily held above near support at the 10 day EMA, we let it run. Over the next three sessions it added $2. The move started to slow with smaller price gains, and with almost $5 built into the move since it started that told us TRW was starting to peak out on this leg. We told our subscribers to be careful if it started higher but reversed; that would be our signal to take some money off the table. On 3-27 TRW opened and surged almost $0.90 but then started to fade. With that we issued an alert to sell some positions. We sold some stock for $36, landing a 14.5% gain. We sold some options for $5.80, banking 103% ($295/contract).
TRW is making a test of the 10 day EMA right now, setting up to rally again. Strong action from a stock that makes OEM parts (original equipment) for the auto industry, an industry that supposedly won't fare well when the economy is weaker. Of course, weaker is relative. You would believe we were in meltdown from some of the hyperbole you hear on the financial stations. More like a mid-cycle slowdown, but that is another story. The point is, you look at what the market and strong stocks are telling you and you buy and sell accordingly. When you do that you don't get caught in the trap of letting your emotions steer you away from potential winners such as TRW or trap you in weakening stocks just because you made money off of them before.

2) Stock Splits
Playing stock splits can be very profitable, but it takes know-how. Our stock split service focuses on three main types of plays:
1) pre-announcement (where we forecast an upcoming split prior to the company making the announcement); 2) pre-split (these plays are made in the days leading up to the actual split day); and 3) post-split plays (plays made after the actual stock split where the stock is showing continued or renewed strength).
For post-splits, we can play them as we would pre-splits (very short term), but we prefer to stretch our horizons, playing the trend. When playing options, we look further out, 2 or more months at least. We let the trend carry us along if there is one, but we will also take profits if the technical pattern degenerates, e.g., breaks a trendline. The main difference between post-splits and pre-splits plays is that we really have to like the pattern. Pre-splits can run right before their splits even with poor technical indicators. For post-splits, we are looking at the stocks from more of a longer term "would I buy this stock at this juncture?" position. Now there are times when a hot stock splits and investors pile in to get in while the stock is 'cheaper.' We play those, but with more of a short-term, pre-splits mentality in that we will be ready to get out fast if the momentum fades.
Remember, everything we do has to pass muster with the market that day ... don't fight the market on these plays.
Listen to Stock Split Report Editor Jon Johnson's
stock split interview on CNBC-TV [ Broadband | Dial-up ]
Here's a post-split play and our current analysis.
Chart by StockCharts.com
OII (Oceaneering Intl.--$42.12; -0.87; optionable): Deepwater drilling equipment, services
Company Profile
EARNINGS: Announced 2-21-07
STATUS: Double bottom. After a big run in early 2006 that made us some great money, OII has formed a couple of bases back to back. It made a big 'V' from July to December but could not breakout to a new high. It then fell into the current 16 week double bottom pattern. Last week OII broke above the 'hump' in the double bottom (42.91), and though volume was up, it was still below average and it could not hold the move. It ended the week holding some support near 42, still set up for the break higher. Want to see some good volume on an upside breakout as that shows the buyers are back in after the 9 months of basing (plenty of base to set the foundation for a strong run once again).
Volume: 688.4K Avg Volume: 767.503K
BUY POINT: $43.22 Volume=1.2M Target=$49.95 Stop=$41.15
POSITION: OII GH - July $40c (70 delta) &/or Stock

3) TECHNICAL PLAY
AH (Armor Holdings--$67.33; -0.53; optionable): Security products and vehicle armor systems
Company Profile
EARNINGS: Late April
STATUS: Double bottom w/handle. Excellent pattern has set up the past seven weeks, using the 50 day EMA (63.71) on the lows as support for the double bottoms, setting AH for a new breakout to an all-time high. This nice base is consolidating the late January (earnings) breakout from a larger 10 month double bottom with handle. Excellent base on base action that is setting up further upside for this market leader.
Volume: 534K Avg Volume: 592.639K
BUY POINT: $68.35 Volume=890K Target=$78.95 Stop=$66.21
POSITION: AH HN - Aug. $70c (50 delta) &/or Stock

Dear Subscriber,
It’s rare when a technology comes along that can change the way we live our lives. Few ideas or innovations are profound enough to ever have that kind of impact.
But when they do come along, lives are forever changed. It happened with the railroad, automobile, personal computer and the internet – to name a few.
The one thing all these disruptive technologies have in common – aside from changing the way we view the world – is that each one made early investors in them incredibly wealthy.
Well, I’m writing you this afternoon to alert you to a new technology about to come to market that will become an instant necessity like each of the above. Only its impact will be even greater.
Creating more Billionaires and Millionaires than at any point in history.
Those who invest even a little now will likely see their wealth multiply many times over. But it’s almost here… and it will soon be beyond the reach of retail investors like you and me.
The time to get in is now – and before the feeding frenzy begins.
I’ve just completed a private new report that tells you all about it. I’ve included a link below that will show you exactly what this technology is and how you can profit richly from it.
I strongly urge you read it now.
It will take just a few minutes – but I promise it’s well worth your time.’
Go HERE for my free report.
Regards,
Tim Fields

Small-Cap Fortunes
Update: Gemini Exploration (OTCBB:GMXP): Rated 'Speculative Buy,' by Beacon Equity Research: Target Price $4.00
Action: Long on GMXP
A report released this morning by Beacon Equity Research Analyst, Lisa Springer, CFA, gives Gemini Exploration (GMXP), the only small-cap gold stock we’re currently covering, a speculative buy rating with a target price of $4 per share.
Currently trading under $1 per share, Beacon feels there’s a potential 340% in gains on this play. We here at Small-Cap Fortunes are equally bullish, but we’re aiming for $1.75 per share on this one– or 92% in gains from the current $0.91 per share.
Like Beacon Equity Research, we love the potential of this company. Keep GMXP on your radar screen; we may see a strong run coming very shortly with a great chance to cash in on the way up.
According to research analyst "Gemini Explorations, Inc. is an emerging gold mining company with significant land holdings in the heart of Columbia's premier undeveloped gold district. Preliminary analysis of Gemini's La Planada gold property have yielded extremely encouraging results and the Company has already identified three significant cross-cutting gold vein zones.”
“Geologists are confident that, assuming the exploration program confirms mineralization to a depth of 200 meters, the resource potential of the La Planada block could exceed three million troy ounces of gold, representing a potential asset value of approximately $2 billion at today's gold prices, before extraction costs.”
The full press release is available HERE
$2 billion worth of gold, minus extraction costs, could easily take this stock well over $4 per share. But in the short-term, we’ll key in on $1.75.
Good Investing,
Small-Cap Fortunes

“ JACKPOT! I’ve never seen anything like this.
It’s like investing in Lockheed Martin before it
unveiled the SR-71 Blackbird - It’s that good!”
-- Remo Sabene, Jr., Editor GroundFloor Stocks
$2 to $180… $3 to $130… split, split, and split again. That’s how
Lockheed did it… how Northrop Grumman did it… and it’s how
this $3 Nanotech juggernaut is about to do it.
You won’t believe who’s behind this one!
The last time I alerted you to an opportunity this big was with Environmental Control Corp., (EVCC) which went from $1.50 to a high of $7.74, just 2 weeks later.
That’s a jump of over 400%.
But that pales in comparison to what my top small-cap pick for 2007 may do.
You see, this stellar small-cap company could go from $3 per share to a whopping $18. I tell you now, API Nanotronics (OTCBB:APIO) is red hot…
And I’m not missing out on this opportunity.
Since 2002, this small cap nanotechnology superstar has seen sales grow from a mere $2.9 million to a projected $50 million for 2007… that’s a possible 1624% increase in sales!
And it’s no wonder when you see their clients already include Lockheed Martin, Boeing Co, Northrop Grumman Corp, General Dynamics, Raytheon, BAE Systems, Honeywell Corporation, and Harris Corporation, to name a few
But now management believes they’ll hit $250 million…
That Would Send This $3 Stock To $18 Per Share!
I rarely alert investors to opportunities like the one presented by APIO, simply because these opportunities rarely arise. But when they do you, must act immediately.
Because the next email you receive from me may say “The last time I alerted you to an opportunity this big was with API Nanotronics., (APIO) which went from $3 to a high of $18.”
And you’ll kick yourself for missing this one, like you may have done if you missed out on EVCC.
I believe API Nanotronics is even better than EVCC, giving us a chance to make those gains seem puny
In my free report, I detail why and how API Nanotronics (APIO) could put investors on the express train to millions, and why APIO is my number one small-cap pick for 2007.
I urge you to consider buying shares of APIO immediately after you read my research report, available by clicking HERE
Remember, this stock could make EVCC’s 400% rise in two weeks look like a small blip on the radar screen.
In fact, there may not even be enough time for you to read the report before the stock begins trading wildly out of hand.
Until next time,
Remo Sabene, Jr.

Small-Cap Fortunes
Update: API Nanotronics (APIO:OTCBB)
Action: Long
Target: $6 per share
It looks like we’ve got an imminent breakout about to happen with APIO. The stock is trading in a classic wave pattern with and strong upside trend; perfectly positioned to blast out to our target price at $6 per share.
For you day-traders out there, the time to jump in may be now. The stock is sitting on the bottom of the trend line, within the wave pattern… a traders dream.
For investors, getting in anywhere below $4 per share gives you the potential to pull at least 50% if we hit our target at $6.
Having just announced over a million in new contracts, the stock is looking far more attractive than even just days ago.
We’ve just come off a string of winning picks and we feel APIO is our next big monster… and remember, you heard it here first!
A new report out of Groundfloor Stocks explains the potential for investors in this small-cap rock star of a company. I urge you to read the report today, a link to the report is available by clicking HERE.
Have a profitable trading week!

PrimEdge's Subsidiary, Orangebox Entertainment, to Launch Newly Expanded Studio for Radio Show, "Kidney Talk," Co-Hosted by TV and Movie Actor, Producer and Director, Stephen Furst

"This is only a small part of the major redevelopment and expansion of the search engine currently in progress," said Tim Simpson, Chief Executive Officer of Pizza International. "Better overall features and an easier experience is what we plan to deliver. When the enhanced site is deployed it will be state-of-the-art as well as the definition of 'user-friendly.'"
Pizza.Net maintains its own IM server that handles millions of users. Adam Reiser, the 44 year old creator of the unique search engine was recently featured in Entrepreneur Magazine and said that the technically savvy company was among the first to integrate open source solutions like this one from Jive Software. He believes that more and more companies will move from public IM services to their own IM networks.
Pizza.net is also testing other innovative ways to serve its more than 62,000 pizzerias and restaurants that serve pizza. This includes using instant messaging to answer questions and provide customer service in real time. Pizza lovers will also benefit from the site's current redevelopment and upgrades through simplified searches and enhanced search responses.
Both Pizza International, Inc. and Pizza.Net, Inc. are located in Delray Beach, Florida.
