Value Microcaps Pick Six Lotto 15

THE NSOMNIYAK CHALLENGE - my own picks

AKRX - Akorn Inc. is a biotech company that has more than doubled since I originally bought it, and has held up pretty well in the market slide. It ran from 1.50 to 3.00 before the market woes, and 2.61 Friday seems a good entry. Just a nice solid little company and one I felt would be un-Sheepish.

CSGH.OB - China Sun Group - Battery maker in China. Big growth numbers, price has been absolutely hammered. I really like CSGH, but this was a backup pick for me (would have preferred something less sheepish).

LPIH.OB - China Longwei Petroleum - Hard to imagine China using less oil. LPIH also is likely to uplist to the Amex during the PSL15 time frame.

NEP - China Northeast Petroleum - Another stock with "China" and "petroleum" in its name. NEP is a long time VMC favorite, which has been absolutely killed with the slide in the market and in oil prices. They added a drilling unit that will start to add to results. Friday's 5.62 close is too low to pass up.

POZN (wild card) - this was a backup pick for me, as my original wild card failed to hold at .25 and was ineligible. Pozen just got FDA approval on their drug, then got hammered as opposed to the expected bounce. I think it is very oversold and will bounce back to at least 10 over the course of the contest.

RHGP.PK - Renhuang Pharmaceuticals - more than anything else to me just a pinkie with a positive PE. Nice rise since January until getting hit with the whole market recently

Looking back on it, I have 3 biotech/pharma companies and 3 oil/energy companies. That was not my advance strategy, just worked out that way.

I own all 6 of these in real life. I have added POZN, NEP, LPIH in the last week, and will probably add CSGH next week. I would have ended up less sheepish had not two intended picks slid below .25 during the last couple days.
