THREE's COMMENTARY

I am 50 years old, 2 kids and 1 wife. At 30 went into service buss. with $800 investment of used equipment. Company does just over 1MM per year with 40% margins and should grow 25% per year over the next 5 years. Have been referred to as a people person with street smarts. I also like to think being a good guy with all that entails is in my DNA.

It seems I also have an affinity for #'s even though my childhood lacked the structure to provide a formal education, (or heat in the second floor of our house). I now run a 25 person Corporation with a client base that includes the Pentagon, Library of Congress, Johns Hopkins University, Fort BelVoir Military base, Social Security Admin., even the IRS building in Phila. and Norfolk Navy Base in VA, etc..

I have been an investor for about 9 years first stock TCLN (now PPHM) still waiting for that one to work out. I do not buck the trends my focus is the obvious.

Todays needs; Commodities (AYSI), Energy (TGC, CNEH), food (KCL.TO.) medical(ZYNX). Nothing frivolous in this market.

Stock needs a reason that the true value is not priced in. Could be new venture with valuable assets and the balance sheet, management team able to bring home results. That is why I picked KCL.TO, but as in all my picks they came via our boards (I apologize I cannot remember who I pilfered that one from). I think it will do very well and will hold thru 2012 when sales should be happening, I also see them as a take over target.

TGC benefitting from rocketing oil prices and ramp up in production, a double whammy (at the right time) and a MOMO bubble in the sector that carried it to a way overbought condition. I got lucky and pulled the Double Down then the freeze ( sell in my portfolio) at the right time. I owe this one to 10Bagger.

CNEH similar a story to TGC and a China play, although I never felt CNEH was overbought and I think it is undervalued at it's current price. I owe this one to Wadegarret. Who knows me personally since we grew up in the same area.

AYSI My biggest personal holding again getting in before full value @.67 with imminent conditions for increased PPS not priced in. In this case a second production line and pending global expansion of a tested, but new product. Also prudent management with no history of dilution. I owe this one to Littlefish.

ZYNX An improved product over existing SOC in a proven market gaining market share and steady increase in orders. I sold this too early in the contest and in my porfolio. (WHAT AN IDIOT). I owe this ( and the anguish that goes with it) to MikeS.

General rules I mostly live by. No PK'S, No less then 30K shares average daily volume, Share price under $5. If you would start a statement about a stock with "If it's not a scam" then don't buy it because it probably is (MHUT, CESV, HSOA).

Many thanks to Bobwins whom I followed to IHUB from RB, and Lentinman, Nsomniak, Researcher, SSKILLS, bbotc, CWS9, 10 bagger, the list goes on and on for their research and insight .

To the best CYBER MICRO CAP COMMUNITY of them all... Thank You all.
