Would .006 be a good jump in point for this stock?
Seems he is a very good and famous pumper if you look into his past. Seems the things he gets all over seem to run good and fast but then drop just as good and just as fast. So it's always a red flag for me... at least until he is done and moved on to his next stock. JMHO

Look who's all over this one now!
My new big wind pick is Welwind Energy International Corp. (WWEI).
Only once or twice each year do I get this EXCITED about a company!
As you know... all year long I have been predicting that Wind Energy stocks would become the biggest plays in the whole market!
So far in 2008 I announced two big wind picks BWEN and APWR. Last week we saw BWEN hit a new all time high of $29 up 159% from my pick price of $11.20. We also saw APWR hit a new all time high of $24.83 up 57% from my pick price of $15.79.
I believe the recent gains in BWEN and APWR could prove to be minuscule compared to the gains WWEI is about to make.
WWEI is trading right now for only $0.061. This company is building their own wind farms in China and they are expected to sign the power purchase agreement (PPA) for their Zhanjiang Wind Farm later this month!
WWEI installed the first 750 kw turbine at their Zhanjiang Wind Farm a little over a year ago on May 17, 2007.
They have been collecting data from and analyzing this turbine for the past year with very positive results.
After the signing of the PPA... WWEI expects to enter financing and turbine supply agreements which will allow them to commence construction on Phase I of the wind farm this fall.
Phase I will have 65 of the 750 kw turbines for a total of 49 megawatts. WWEI expects to become a revenue producing company approximately nine months after they begin construction.
After the construction of Phase I, WWEI will begin Phase II at the Zhanjiang Wind Farm which will be 150 megawatts as well as Phase I at their Yangxi Wind Farm which will be 49 megawatts.
WWEI has only 173.6MM shares outstanding giving it a market cap at $0.061 of only $10.6 million. This is just about the lowest market cap you can possibly find for a pure Wind Energy play!
I believe the investment community is going to recognize WWEI during the weeks ahead as the new HUGE play in the Wind industry!

Payment Data Systems (PYDS)'s 1Q results are expected to be released either Wednesday or Thursday of this week!
If results are strong... it might be just what PYDS needs for Wall Street to finally discover this company!
Based on PYDS's March 14th press release and their January 17th 8-K filing, I believe results could be VERY strong! But we won't know for sure until they are released!
This is one of the HOTTEST industries right now and both Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA) have become two of the BIGGEST momentum plays in the entire market. I believe this momentum could soon spread to small-cap plays in the industry and in my opinion... PYDS has the greatest upside potential!

V has been trading an average of 22.6MM shares per day since it's IPO and with a share price of about $80 we are talking dollar volume each day of $1.8 BILLION!
PYDS's whole entire market cap right now is only around $6 MILLION. This means it would take only around $6 MILLION to buy the entire company at it's current share price.
With all of the BIG MONEY trading in and out of V, I believe PYDS could potentially TAKE OFF BIG if only a microscopic amount of V's investors discover PYDS!

I am told that PYDS's 1Q results are coming either after the close on Wednesday or after the close on Thursday.
With a market cap of only $3.7MM... strong 1Q results in my opinion could potentially make the stock TAKE OFF BIG very quickly...
I believe there is a good chance 1Q results will be HUGE because PYDS reported on March 14th that that their January processing dollar-volume increased 61% over a year ago and February continued this trend with credit card processing dollar-volume up 53%.
What could make the results especially strong is the $750,000 in cash PYDS just received for the sale of a patent!
PYDS just became only the fourth company certified by Visa as a Compliant Service Provider with the ability to produce private label debit cards and prepaid gift cards. You can verify this for yourself by going here: http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/cisp_list_of_cisp_compliant_service_providers.pdf
PYDS previously obtained a similar certification with MasterCard and has already launched celebrity branded MasterCard debit cards featuring Natalie Gulbis and Carmen Electra.
PYDS even has their own bill payment portal Billx.com which allows you to pay all of your bills online in one convenient place. PYDS will soon be introducing their own branded Billx Prepaid MasterCard for both adults and teens which will be integrated with the Billx bill payment processing system. Consumers will be able to load and unload in real-time their Billx Prepaid MasterCards for both their personal use and their children’s use.
Considering that PYDS is growing RAPIDLY and in one of the HOTTEST industries right now... I believe PYDS's upside potential at $0.046 is ASTRONOMICAL!
Please do your own research and make your own investment decisions. Never make investment decisions based on anything I say.

The idea for a credit card was originally imagined by Edward Bellamy in 1888... writer of the book Looking Backward, which sold more than 1 million copies.
He envisioned that a cashless society, using credit cards for purchases, would exist at the end of the twentieth century.
He predicted we would live in a world where, "A credit corresponding to his share of the annual product of the nation is given to every citizen on the public books at the beginning of each year, and a credit card issued him with which he procures at the public storehouses, found in every community, whatever he desires whenever he desires it."
However, what he imagined would actually be known today as a debit card.
A credit card, as we know it today, wasn't invented until 1956 by California's Bank of America. It did not require prepayment but offered the bank's own credit, instantly, for purchases at a great variety of participating businesses.
In 1977 is when Visa was adopted internationally and became the first credit card to be recognized worldwide.
I think the world would've been better off if credit cards never existed and we only used debit cards.
We now have close to $1 trillion in credit card debt and 4.53% of credit card balances are currently delinquent.
A 4.53% delinquency rate may not sound like a lot, but believe me... it is about to get MUCH worse.
1/2 of the people who are paying back their credit card debt... are only making the minimum monthly payments. Many of these people are paying outrageous 20% interest rates. Their debts are compounding quickly which will lead to many of them defaulting very soon too.
After the delinquency rate passes 10%... the market for credit card debt will dry up quickly... just like the home mortgage market.
You will no longer get a hundred emails with credit card offers each month. You will no longer be asked to apply for a credit card at every sporting event you attend. You will no longer be asked to apply for a store credit card when checking out at the mall.
Even people who are credit worthy and responsible with their money will find it harder to obtain a credit card and will receive lower spending limits.
These people will switch to debit cards and Payment Data Systems, Inc. (PYDS) is one of only four companies certified by Visa as a Compliant Service Provider with the ability to produce private label debit cards and prepaid gift cards. You can verify this for yourself by going here: http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/cisp_list_of_cisp_compliant_service_providers.pdf
PYDS's certification with Visa was only obtained recently and judging by PYDS's market cap of only $3.7MM... it is obvious that very few people in the investment community have noticed yet.
PYDS previously obtained a similar certification with MasterCard and has already launched celebrity branded MasterCard debit cards featuring Natalie Gulbis and Carmen Electra.
Not only is PYDS going to capitalize on the upcoming trend of people switching from credit cards to debit cards... but PYDS is also beginning to capitalize on the "unbanked population".
There are millions of people in the U.S. who don't even have bank accounts... many of them are immigrants. PYDS makes it possible for "unbanked" consumers to receive their payroll on their own stored value debit card and use the debit card to pay bills and withdraw cash from ATM's.
PYDS has their own online bill payment portal Billx.com which allows you to pay all of your bills online in one convenient place. PYDS will soon be introducing their own branded Billx Prepaid MasterCard for both adults and teens which will be integrated with the Billx bill payment processing system. Consumers will be able to load and unload in real-time their Billx Prepaid MasterCards for both their personal use and their children’s use.
PYDS processed over $100 million worth of credit card transactions in 2007 which was up 65% over 2006!
This growth appears to be continuing in 2008! PYDS announced in March that their January processing dollar-volume increased 61% over a year ago and February continued this trend with credit card processing dollar-volume up 53%.
PYDS's 1Q results are due out this week! Unless March for some reason was a terrible month (which I doubt)... I believe PYDS will report HUGE 1Q results this week! What will especially make the results strong is the $750,000 in cash PYDS just received for the sale of a patent!
PYDS's current market cap of $3.7MM is just about as low as it gets for a revenue producing fully reporting company with NO DEBT!
Considering that PYDS is growing RAPIDLY and in one of the HOTTEST industries right now... I believe PYDS's upside potential at $0.046 is ASTRONOMICAL!
We could see PYDS start to TAKE OFF BIG this week!
Please do your own research and make your own investment decisions.

I believe we will soon see big profit taking in Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA).
In my opinion, a lot of money that comes out of V and MA will go into undervalued small-cap companies in the industry.
I don't think there is a bigger opportunity in this industry right now with greater upside potential than Payment Data Systems, Inc. (PYDS)!
At only $0.046 with just 81MM shares outstanding, PYDS's current market cap is only $3.7 million!
PYDS processed over $100 million worth of credit card transactions in 2007, which was up 65% over 2006!
I expect PYDS to report HUGE 1Q results this week! We already know that January processing dollar-volume increased 61% over a year ago and February processing dollar-volume was up 53%!
We also know that PYDS recently received $750,000 in cash for the sale of a patent! This will also show up in 1Q results!
Take a look at: http://usa.visa.com/download/merchants/cisp_list_of_cisp_compliant_service_providers.pdf
Not only is PYDS one of only several hundred companies certified by Visa as a Compliant Service Provider... but PYDS is one of only four companies certified by Visa to produce private label debit cards and prepaid gift cards!
PYDS has received this same certification from Mastercard and recently introduced the Natalie Gulbis Mastercard.

The two biggest momentum plays in the market during the recent weeks have been Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA).
Personally, I believe both of these companies will have problems ahead and they are now great shorts.
However, there is one company in the industry that I believe could be about to take off right now!
The company is Payment Data Systems, Inc. (PYDS).
PYDS closed this week at $0.046. There are 81MM shares outstanding and insiders own 65% of the shares. PYDS's market cap right now is only $3.7 million!
PYDS is one of V's certified Compliant Service Providers. Click here for a complete list of V's certified Compliant Service Providers.
PYDS is one of only four Visa Compliant Service Providers authorized for "Private Label Cards" and "Bank-Issued Transactions".
Americans can no longer take out home equity loans and they are running out of cash to spend. Everybody is resorting to using their credit cards.
The problem is... Americans don't have the cash to pay their credit card debt back.
Therefore, in my opinion... we are about to see massive amounts of credit card defaults and the market for credit card debt will dry up quickly.
It will soon be very difficult to obtain a credit card. Those with credit cards will have much lower limits than they do today.
What this will lead to is a booming market for debit cards. With PYDS being one of only four companies certified by Visa for private label cards... I believe PYDS's business is about to EXPLODE!
PYDS has three different product groups...
1) Merchant Services (Credit Card and ACH Processing). PYDS processed over $100 million in transactions last year!
2) Stored Value and Gift Cards. PYDS has the ability to create private label cards and has an exclusive deal with Natalie Gulbis for both gift cards and prepaid debit cards.
3) Bill Payment. PYDS operates Billx.com which allows consumers to pay all of their bills online from one location.
I believe each of these businesses individually are worth much more than PYDS's current market cap! Combined, I believe PYDS is ridiculously undervalued at these levels with TREMENDOUS upside potential!
PYDS announced in March that their January processing dollar-volume increased 61% over a year ago and February continued this trend with credit card processing dollar-volume up 53%.
PYDS has NO DEBT and they just received $750,000 in cash for the sale of a patent... which will show up in 1Q results that are due out next week! We already know that PYDS's 1Q processing dollar-volume was up big! There is a good chance this was an ABSOLUTELY HUGE quarter!
In my opinion, with the recent runs in V and MA... PYDS is almost a sure thing to take off!
Of course, I could be wrong. Do your own research and make your own investment decisions. Never make investment decisions based on anything I say or you could lose all of your money.

biodegradeable and flushable products commercially available worldwide.
3. Flushaway(TM) is an ecofriendly green product that has possibility for
carbon credits into the future.
4. With a global focus on eco friendly products, responsible retailers are
actively seeking relationships with vendors of "green" products.

unique springboard opportunity for PayChest's worldwide growth.
