To OTC Journal Members:

For the last several weeks I've been focused on Chinese stocks as a
way to get the most bang for our trading buck. And, it's worked out
pretty well.... NF Energy Saving Corp. (NFEC) is up about 165% from
our entry, Universal Travel (UTA) more than doubled after our June
entry, and our China ETF (FXI) trade - which goes all the way back
to December of last year - is up about 70%.

While I love the overall results, I don't want ignore a few other
opportunistic hot spots we could be (and should be) tapping into
right now. To that end, a new trading idea is immediately below. I
want to add one more layer of perspective before we get to it
though....

How would you like to own part of a $4 million company that could
be a serious contender in a $1 billion market? Moreover, how would
you like to step into a position at only 7 cents per share? Oh, did
I mention the market has renewed its love affair with this
industry?

I can't recall the last time I saw a penny stock with this much
upside potential trading at these stunningly low levels. I think
the market's going to rediscover this one again real soon though,
pushing the valuation up in a hurry.

The Future of Cancer Detection

Let's not mince words here - many of the standard cancer detection
tests are just bad. Either they're expensive, slow, or inaccurate
(or some combination of all three). BioCurex Inc. (OTCBB: BOCX) has
developed a technology that can potentially address all three
problems with the cancer screening process.

The opportunity BOCX investors could tap through the
company's diagnostic equipment isn't a small one either.
The cancer detection/screening market is worth about $1 billion
each year. Even a small sliver of that pie could reap relatively
huge rewards for BioCurex owners; the company's market cap is only
about $4 million, so a small investment gives you a large stake in
the company's success.

The continued development of the screening technology is the key
here though, so let's take a look...

At the heart of everything BioCurex is, you'll find RECAF
(tm). All cancerous cells cause the creation of the RECAF
molecule, while healthy cells don't cause the creation of this same
molecule. Therefore, a positive RECAF test means cancer has been
detected.

Simple so far? We'd agree, but there are three things that could
make RECAF-based diagnostics more attractive and lucrative than the
other current forms of testing.... accuracy, speed, and cost.

Accuracy

Stunningly, many other cancer tests may as well be coin tosses.
Take prostate cancer for instance. Of all the 'positive' results
yielded for a common PSA test, only 1/3 of them are actually
accurate. The other 2/3 are false 'positives'. It gets worse
though, because some of the 'negatives' for this test should
actually be 'positive', meaning the patient has prostate cancer and
may not even know it. All told, that PSA test is only about 40%
accurate, which leads one to wonder if it's doing more harm than
good.

When using the RECAF test to detect prostate cancer, the overall
accuracy is cranked up to close to 90%.

And just to clarify, RECAF can screen for all cancers, since it's
searching for that one certain molecule that only exists if cancer
is present. Other tests in current use aim to indicate only one
particular form of cancer.

Speed

As with any lab work, sending blood/serum samples from a
doctor's office to a lab takes time, and manpower is
needed to generate the test's results. That's just the way it is...
or was, until BioCurex began to develop a rapid RECAF test -
something that could be performed during an office visit with
results being returned in a matter of minutes.

Since then, the device has been fully developed - and it works. The
nearby image is a picture of a utilized test. Even to the amateur
eye it's clear the rapid RECAF test can be highly accurate. While
the lab version of the test is still utilized where a lab
confirmation is preferred, the rapid test is a functional and fast
screening test... something oncologists really don't have access to
as of right now.

Cost

The cost to process most current cancer screening tests (materials,
lab work, shipping, and the doctor's time) can vary from $75 to
$800, depending on the test. If the expense isn't paid by the
insurance company, it's paid out of the patient's pocket.

Having constructed a few versions of the rapid RECAF test already,
BioCurex estimates their cancer diagnostic device will cost
somewhere between $10 and $20.

While the price difference clearly favors use of the rapid test,
there may be an even bigger, unrealized and unintended benefit to
the RECAF test - it may actually be performed in those cases where
the more expensive tests may not be approved by insurance
companies, or declined by patients who would otherwise pay for such
a test out of pocket.

Trading BOCX

The next steps for the company are to continue making progress
towards the commercialization of the RECAF screening test.
Nothing's been publicly confirmed yet, but in reviewing the
company's history and news, one has to believe BioCurex has been
lining up some deals and licensees.

With that being said, I've got two final points to make.

First, most of you know how biotech works - a huge portion of a
stock's gains come before the biotech company makes its first
cent.

Take Gilead Sciences (GILD) or Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX) for
instance. Gilead wasn't even close to being profitable until the
fourth quarter of 2001, yet shares rallied from $1.00 to $7.00 over
the nine years before that swing to a profit. Vertex has only
posted six profitable quarters in the last 18 years (and none since
2003), yet VRTX shares are nearly 400% higher than they were 18
years ago.

That's not to say BioCurex is the next Gilead or Vertex. It might
be - I just don't know. All I'm saying is with biotech, if you're
not out in front, then you're automatically behind. That leads me
to my other message....

Second, I can't stress enough how well the timing of this trading
idea has lined up.

Like almost all stocks, BOCX suffered the bear market by
pulling back from its 2007 peak around 90 cents. The
tumble didn't stop until March of this year, as was also the case
with the rest of the market. Welcome to the club. Since then, BOCX
has been range-bound between 4 cents and 11 cents while the rest of
the biotech market has rallied.

But wait a second... how is it a good thing if BioCurex trails?

The longer a stock can move in a range, the stronger the breakout
is likely to be once it materializes. And, given the market's
euphoria over biotech lately, I firmly believe it's more a matter
of 'when' rather than 'if' for BioCurex.

I'd never deny that it was the swine flu craze and Dendreon's
(DNDN) cancer vaccine update earlier in the year that jump-started
the biotech frenzy, but make no mistake - the buzz has been
sustained based on these biotech companies' own merits. I think
BioCurex's day is coming soon too.

One of the supporting clues to the theory is today's somewhat
mundane news release (below) from BioCurex. A couple of new
directors were named to the board.

I'd be the first to say it's not a barn-burner as far as news goes,
but having observed the BioCurex PR machine for a few years now,
I'd also say this is likely to be the beginning of a string of
company news that grows in importance as each press release is
posted. See, the company has historically posted news in waves, and
kicks those campaigns off with a mere 'stir the pot' kind of
release like this one.

I don't know for sure what's coming next in terms of announcements,
but I'm certain I'd rather wade in now between the $0.04 to $0.11
range instead of trying to chase BOCX if the next news item
catapults the stock. RECAF is simply a great biotechnology that has
the potential to send the major diagnostic companies back-pedaling,
and investors can participate in that for only 7 cents a share.
BOCX is not likely to stay priced at these levels for long.

So, here's how I'd suggest playing it - any entry under $0.11 cents
is fine, though something under $0.09 cents would be ideal. I don't
think a decent entry will be a problem though. As for a SSL, let's
use the bottom of the established range... $0.04 cents. I don't
want to set a target level just yet, but stay tuned for it.
