It might bevery helpful to the Swing Trade Board if you and Mike could add the date that each one of these stocks was recommended and the price on that date. That way we can see which ones are really running hard and jump on them.

RBCL update (1/16/09)

RBCL is one of my favorite stocks that I think will triple to quadruple from current levels over the next year. They made $0.037/share last quarter and trade at less than four times annualized Q3 earnings. They have been growing over the last few years which is a trend that I strongly believe will continue given their large backlog and growth initiatives. RBCL sells nutritional and medical products and consequently has a recession resistant business. Here are some more reasons why I think RBCL will move significantly higher in the next year:

1. Rapidly Growing Earnings - RBCL had record EPS of $0.037 in Q3, the most recent quarter. Given their backlog, 2008 likely will produce record annual earnings. 2007 earnings were a huge improvement over 2006 ($0.08 in 2007 vs. $0.02 in 2006). They have a very strong trend of improvement in earnings over a long period of time and I expect that trend to continue.

2. Huge Backlog - Backlog is $8.7M for their CCI account in the most recent quarter which is the second highest level in history. Also, the backlog only represents a portion of their sales going forward. They have GM of 47.5% so additional sales drop rapidly to the bottom line.

3. Rapidly Growing Medical Sales - Medical sales jumped 42% year-over-year and looks like it will continue. At the end of March they announced an expansion of their medical segment into Latin America. They also announce in February that they would begin selling their products in Kroger. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=28065107 http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=26926765

4. Expanding Nutritional Sales - Nutritional sales increased 23.5% in the most recent quarter due to international expansion. The company has embarked on some new initiatives to expand their US and Canadian nutritional sales.

5. Strong Balance Sheet - RBCL has a book value of $0.39 which includes $0.33 in cash. That puts them in a strong position financially to continue growing.

ALIF 1/16/09 update:

ALIF -- iphone game software maker that is making money hand over fist, growing very rapidly, and trading at ridiculously low undervalued levels with a rock solid debt-free high equity balance sheet.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33249023

Lots of new products being launched and sold to iphone users with the potential of massive growth layered ontop of what they're doing so far:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34805051

Evidence that their first iPhone game is selling like crazy.....hundreds of positive reviews and it was just barely released in early Dec. 08 and it's one of the most popular downloaded applications on the iphone:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=299186925&mt=8

Massive Hiring - They have 31 open positions listed on their web site in addition to the 51 full time employees as of March 31, 2008. This signals that they are undergoing further huge growth.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=29376923

Rapidly Growing Industry - Gaming for cell phones is growing rapidly. It was $3B in 2006 and is forecasted to be $10.5B in 2009 and 17.5B by 2011. This is a huge industry to service.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=29368476

Relationships with Big Names - They have relationships with major media companies such as Warner Brothers, Paramount Digital Entertainment, Cartoon Network, and Oxygen. In these relationships they are making or made products based upon the company's films or TV shows (e.g. Braveheart). They also have relationships with famous people such as Soccer Star Leo Messi, Vitali and Wladimir Kitschko, and the Tokio Hotel band to make games based upon their images and likeness.

ALIF 1/16/09 update....

ALIF is a mobile software producer (primarily games) that is growing like a weed and is my favorite stocks. It very realistically could and likely will be a 5-10 bagger from present prices over the next 12 months. They made $0.07/share last quarter and are guiding for further growth in the fourth quarter. They are embarking on a huge rollout of iPhone games that should propel earnings much higher and could make them a wallstreet darling. The stock last traded at $0.95/share so they are trading at less than four times annualized Q3 earnings which makes them a bargain at current prices IMO.

Sample Cell Phone Games



Investment Thesis (see links for supporting details)
1. Explosive Revenue & Earnings Growth - The company has rapidly grown revenue and earnings over the past several quarters. Q3'08 revenue grew 311% over Q3'07 and the growth was organic! Their Q3 diluted EPS was $0.07 and they are guiding for growth to continue. "Despite the current global market turmoil we have been able to perform well and deliver the best quarter results in our history. The strategy of becoming a full service mobile application provider and expanding carefully is working out well and has again generated positive results. We expect further growth for the remainder of the year,' said Eberhard Schoneburg, CEO of Artificial Life, Inc.
2. Recent Launch of Many New Games Will Drive Revenue and Earnings Growth - There has been a massive release of new games in recent months that has yet to have the full impact to the bottom line. Games released since June include: Bustin' Balls (6/24/08), Braveheart (7/7/08), FC Bayern Munchen (9/8/08), Leo Messi - GOAL! (9/17/08), Klitschko Boxing - The Official Mobile Game (9/24/08), and Amateur Surgeon (~12/17/08).
3. Expansion into iPhone, Android, and Business Applications - Artificial Life has planned a huge expansion into the iPhone and Android platforms as well as expanding into business applications. They have recently released Amateur Surgeon for the iPhone which has been a top selling game. They have a massive expansion of at least 16 new products (mainly iPhone games) planned for release in 2009. Apple sold one third of U.S. Smartphones so this expansion gives them a huge increase in market coverage. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=34016087 Here is a list of products planned for a 2009 release. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/replies.aspx?msg=34633447
4. Additional Expansion Opportunities - They also have some growth planned outside of the gaming area including further growth of their SMS Galaxy offering and the business applications described above. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34023168
5. Rapidly Growing Industry - Gaming for cell phones is growing rapidly. It was $3B in 2006 and is forcasted to be $10.5B in 2009 and 17.5B by 2011. This is a huge industry to service. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=29368476
6. Relationships with Big Names - They have relationships with major media companies such as Warner Brothers, Paramount Digital Entertainment, Cartoon Network, and Oxygen. In these relationships they are making or made products based upon the company's films or TV shows (e.g. Braveheart). They also have relationships with famous people such as Soccer Star Leo Messi, Vitali and Wladimir Kitschko, and the Tokio Hotel band to make games based upon their images and likeness.

http://www.artificial-life.com/alife/index.php?cat=ir&sub=4&list=0&t=en
7. Credibility as a Huge Force in Mobile Media - Artificial Life has been written up in many articles and has won several awards which gives them credibility as a huge force in the mobile media market. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=29377148
8. High PE Industry - Stocks in rapidly growing industries like this typically attract high PEs. Right now, however, the PE is low.

REPR 1/16/09 update:

REPR -- profitable, rapidly growing, recession-proof, tiny float OS & market cap....

(1) After turning the corner of profitability a few of quarters ago, sales and net income are starting to blow up, with Operational cashflow last quarter was +$311,000, bringing their cash position from $158k to $349k, bringing their balance sheet to positive book value for the first time.
http://tinyurl.com/8o859z

(2) REPR forecasts their quarterly performance to accelerate:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34871342

(3) Several trader shows were attended and new distributors trained late last quarter:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34875177

(4) Medicare reimbursement for the Freedom60 (their biggest & most exciting revenue-generating product) was increased 20 fold in June of 2007 and is the ONLY infusion pump accepted by Medicare for reimbursement for Subcutaneous Immune Globulin treatment (Vivaglobin):
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=28776642
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=28776847

(5) Products are recession-proof with no direct competition with sales rapidly expanding due to a new treatment (Vivaglobin) where their infusion pump is the best, cheapest, safest, and most convenient form of delivery:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=28775119
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=28777209

(6) They are hiring like crazy:
http://www.rmsmedicalproducts.com/Careers.htm
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.asp?message_id=24616830

(7) Additional products are being released this year as well as more products are in development.

Based on last Q, REPR is growing so fast with such large margins that I think they are 1 or 2 quarters away from +.02 EPS per quarter or more or an annualized +.08 EPS pace IMO. Possibly 2-3 quarters away from +.03 EPS per Q or an annualized +.12 EPS. A mere 15 PE with rapid recession-proof growth = $1.80/share.

VBDG -- 1/16/08 update

VBDG -- Why I Think It Will Explode:


Tiny float, market cap, just turned an operating income last quarter for the first time, trades barely above book value....

(1) In the 4 quarters, VBDG has gone from a -$3.8 million net loss Q4 2007 to Q3 2008 being near break-even (with positive operating income) and retail sales up around 60%+ massively outpacing other retailers poor results because VBDG's products are very cheap and actually saving the consumer money in other areas.

(2) During Q4, their products were selling out completely with huge restock orders at Wal-mart, Sears, Best Buy, Staples, Walgreens, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc. One product (MyPlace) was the #1 best selling product across the Bed Bath & Beyond chain during Thanksgiving (black Friday) weekend. <~~see the recent press releases and check with your local stores. Very easy to verify all of this information.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33959355

(3) Q4 YOY sales should be up 70-100% (if sales are similar to Q3) with positive earnings possible compared to a big net loss the prior year.
Why I think $5/share Is Realistically Possible for VBDG:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34617217

(4) VBDG is expanding into new store chains including huge grocery store chains:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34746458
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34600528

(5) CEO has been buying shares in the open market:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=34134063

(6) Looking into early 2009, they are launching a ton of new products to layer ontop of the current ones. Some of these include a celebrity heated Ice Scraper (already launched during Q4), three new styles of MyPlace products, Nice Dicer, Genius Air, Ecoballs, Detect, further expansion of SteamBuddy & MyPlace to restock the massive sales of these during Q4, and a number of other products yet to be announced.....a rather busy list of new products to all hit all of the major retail chains upon launch layered ontop of their current product success.

EGMI 1/18/09 update

EGMI potential 5+ bagger based on current & exploding results, consistently beating and raising guidance every quarter. In addition to making money hand over fist, they are debt-free & cash-rich with healthy margins. Guidance is +.10 EPS for 2008, +.14 EPS for 2009 (40% growth) while forecasting long term they expect growth to be "more aggressive than 40%."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33494172

With a PE of less than 5 for 2009, EGMI is a multi-bagger in the marking IMO.

(1) Recently, Lord Steinberg has been appointed as Executive Chairman of the Board. He has a very impressive background in the gaming industry. His contacts and industry experience are likely to expand EGMI's growth. In addition, he has been buying large blocks of shares in the open market.
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=29832911

(2) EGMI recently signed a five-year licensing agreement for distribution into Native American Indian-owned Casinos and Lotteries. It implies approximately an additional $0.02 in pre-tax earnings for 2009. This may not be factored into the guidance identified above:
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32191035

(3) EGMI has an investment in a mobile phone company that may provide a sizeable gain as they have plans to IPO in the near future.

(4) EGMI is expanding into games and toys. Their first product in this area is a game for the very popular children's series "Thomas and Friends."
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?Message_id=30699277

(5) EGMI is considering a stock buyback program due to the fact that they are sitting ontop of so much cash.
(info taken from conference call)

(6) Electronic Game Card Started At Buy By Roth Cap
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33515746

(7) EGMI just hired two hot-shot executives with extremely impressive resumes to the CEO & VP of sales positions:

UVE -- 1/18/09 thoughts:

UVE is a Florida Hurricane Insurer making money hand over fist since the 2005 Hurricane season shot rates up massively, drove out fearful competitors, and the lack of hurricanes since has been a major windfall for this once tiny company trading for as little as .04 to its current level.

Historical PE of under 3, trades for near book value, pays a massive dividend yield, and announced a share buybacks this year one of which they completed in 2 months. Profitability has decreased recently due to mnadatory rate reductions from the state of Florida plus some tropical storm damage claims from the summer. In order to get top and bottom line growth accelerating again, they recently just got licensed to expand into North Carolina, South Carolina, Hawaii, as well as additional high-end markets in Florida.

Latest dividend announcement is for .10/share with a record date of February 12 (must own the stock Feb's 9th's close). Biggest risk with UVE is, of course, a devestating hurricane. They do have re-insurance which insures UVE against large claims and keeps them alive in that event, however, smaller claims could hurt their results during the corresponding quarter.
