Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win Hey there. It"s Tim Sykes again. As you may recall on my last video, I exposed the ugly underbelly of the penny stock market and revealed how you can easily identify the mini-Enrons and mini-Madoffs that infest it. It felt good to make that video because the cockroaches behind those rip- offs deserved to have the bright light of truth shined upon them as often as possible. And if it sends a few of them scurrying back to the rat holes from which they emerged and helps you protect your money from their schemes, all the better. I hope you found that video enlightening and are already using it to make yourself impervious to penny stock promoters who want to take your money. However, if you haven"t had a chance to watch it, just click the link above once you"ve finished this video, and you"ll be taken right to it. But don"t wait too long because that video won"t be up forever. So now that I"ve gotten the truth about the dark side of penny stocks off my chest, let"s switch gears and move on to something positive, something that can help you make a lot of money in the months and years ahead. In this video, I"m going to reveal how I consistently pick the best and safest penny stocks, using a one-of-a-kind five-step formula that I like to think of as my secret sauce. Though it"s been improved and refined over the last 12 years, this formula is strikingly similar to the one I used to turn $12,415 into $1.65 million in four short years, a feat I described in the first video. And it"s the formula that has helped me compile an enviable track record over the last few years including returns of 197% in 2008, 141% in 2009, and 55% in 2010. In other words, if you"d been taking my advice in 2008, you"d have nearly tripled your money in just one year, and then you"d have better than doubled it in 2009. We took a little breather in 2010 but you still would have increased your portfolio by more than half. These are the kinds of returns that build fortunes, and if you"d been with me the entire time, you could have turned $25,000 into $277,360 in just three years. And get this, even if I only repeat my "meager" 55% 2010 gains for the next three years, that 25K will grow to over $1 million. Think about it for just a moment, from $25,000 to more than $1 million in just six years. Other than risky options and futures, there"s simply no other investment on earth that can bring you these kinds of returns or help you build that kind of fortune in so little time. I realize this isn"t the millions and Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 1 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win millions in overnight profits promised, but never delivered by the penny stock promoters, but it is enough for you to grow your portfolio significantly every year and to fund a pretty luxurious and relaxed retirement down the road. And isn"t that what it"s all about? Now, before I get into my formula, let me give you a few examples of some of the stocks that have helped me generate the returns that are making my subscribers rich. Online video company Subaye handed us a seemingly wimpy 8.52% return, but the good news is, it handed us those profits in just one day. A few days later, and some of my more patient subscribers were sitting on gains of nearly 50%. It took us three days to snag a 9.4% gain on SNAP Interactive, a company that makes online dating applications. But again, while I"m not patient, and I like taking my profits quickly, a few days later, the stock was up by more than 20%. This is why I"m so proud of my research because my subscribers can profit over various time frames, whether they"re impatient like me or if they choose to hold the stocks a little longer. We also made 13.64% on Diedrich Coffee, 29% on H&H Imports, and 42.56% on Luna Innovations, and 55.73% on Liquidmetal, and these are just a few of the plays of my many wins basically because my strategy is that good. And the profit opportunity is there in a matter of days or weeks, no waiting around for months while the stocks languished and kept us up at night. Now, later in this video, after I"ve described my five-step formula, I"m going to walk through exactly how I identified amazing opportunities like Zagg, Diedrich and Liquidmetal, so you can see my formula in action. By the way, I also sometimes run my formula sort of in reverse, with a few tweaks of course, to short stocks that I can clearly see have been artificially pumped up. Of course, shorting has added risks so it"s not for everyone but it can bring you some nice profits such as the 44.07% I made shorting Willow Creek Enterprises, the 39.18% I made on NXT Nutritionals, and the 19.49% I made on Clean Power Concepts, each within just a few days. But like I said, shorting isn"t for everyone, and most investors should steer clear of it. So in this video, I"m just going to stick to my proven formula for picking big winners. Fortunately, my formula is fairly simple and straightforward, and once you master it, you can use it yourself to find Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 2 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win penny stocks on the verge of breaking out for big gains and big profits. But I"m not going to lie to you and pretend that my formula is foolproof or that it doesn"t require work. In a typical week, I spend up to 60 to 80 hours looking for penny stock profit opportunities. No, you won"t have to work that hard, I"m just obsessive the way, but my subscribers want fresh picks on a regular basis. And I don"t provide them, those subscribers are gone. But I will warn you right off the bat, this isn"t some lazy man"s way to riches. Nor is it going to bring you the massive 1000% returns overnight. And anybody who tells you different is flat out lying to you. After all, if finding fabulously profitable penny stocks were as easy as the penny stock promoters make it sound, we"d all be rich and I"d be out of business. Good thing, they are straight up liars. The fact is, if you"re going to make money in penny stocks on your own, you"re going to have to do a lot of research, look through a lot of charts, plow through some SEC filings, keep your eye on company news and, most importantly, keep your emotions in check, and make all of your decisions based on facts and logic, while ignoring the fantasies spun by penny stock promoters. Alternatively, you can have me do all the work for you by joining my new Penny Stock Millionaire program, a new service devoted to bringing you the best, most profitable penny stock opportunities every month. But I"m getting ahead of myself. I won"t have all the details about Penny Stock Millionaire for a few days, and I"ll tell you all about it then. But I will tell you that I"m going to giving away three free memberships I that program, and I"ll reveal exactly how you can win them at the end of this video. Okay, if you"re ready, let"s get started and discover how you can uncover the penny stocks that can make you rich. Not surprisingly, the first step in my process is to find a penny stock that has actual profit potential. Most penny stocks will never make anyone any money so you have to dig deep to find the winners, and I start by compiling a watchlist of stocks that have caught my eye for one reason or another. Essentially, I"m looking for companies that have had big up moves, have announced solid earnings or have had something positive happen to them, such as a joint venture or contract with a big company, a new product that has really caught on or anything else that is good news for the company and raises its profile. Transcribed by: firstname.lastname@example.com Page 3 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win In short, I"m looking for companies that are big recent winners and that have the potential to have a run-up that lasts more than a few days. It"s crucial, however, that you separate real news from promoter hype. Penny stocks are forever issuing press releases announcing all sorts of wonderful things that are supposedly happening or are on the verge of happening. Most of this stuff is hype, and I never believe anything I read in a company press release. And unless I can independently confirm the news via an SEC filing, then I simply dismiss it as hype. And by the way, it"s also a good idea to refuse to consider deals that might happen, sales that might take place or earnings that might be coming. Too often, the deals, sales, and earnings never quite pan out the way the company said they would. And you"re left holding the bag if you bought the stock. Of course, ignoring this stuff does cost me some gains from time to time but it also protects my subscribers and I from large losses that would far outweigh the gains. So where do I find news about a company that can put it on my watchlist? This may surprise you but one of the best places to look is on one or more of the stock market message boards that have proliferate across the Internet. Now, let me warn you right off the bat, these boards are overrun with scammers promoting the stocks they own and bashing the stocks they"re shorting. And the more sophisticated sharks promote crummy stocks that they plan to short, knowing that once the hype drives up the price, they can clean up when it crashes. So look to these message boards as a source of ideas only, and all you"re looking for are stocks to investigate further. Never ever believe anything you read on these boards. Your attitude needs to be never ever trust but always, always verify. You may be wondering, of course, why I"d look to message boards for breaking news about companies. After all, don"t I want to get a jump on other traders by hearing the news first? Not on your life. I used to drive myself crazy trying to be the first guy to hear about any news, good or bad, about a company. But what I discovered is that it didn"t help me to be the first guy to know, and often my crazed desire to be first got me into lousy stocks. What I learned over the years is that when my system, good trades develop over days and weeks. They"re not dependent on me being the first guy in. In fact, my win rate is far greater when I sit back and wait for the best stocks to come to me, and that makes my job and yours a whole lot easier. You can literally wait until moves happen to begin your research because there are plenty of penny stocks where one big move Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 4 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win means another big move is coming. And the best up moves usually take days, weeks or even months to pan out. So you and I have plenty of time to get aboard, and my system is designed to identify those plays. Okay, back to the message boards for a moment. Now, you can get carried away and drive yourself crazy hopping from message board to message board, reading hundreds of posts and trying to lock into every single possible opportunity. Don"t do it. You don"t need every opportunity. You just need one or two good ones a month to make a pretty nice living in this business. So focus on finding a few good stocks for your watchlist. Yes, you"ll miss a few opportunities but you"ll also stay sane. I suggest you focus on just one or two message boards and leave it at that. My all-time favorite message board is called "The Lion" and you"ll find it at www.TheLion.com. Right off the back, you"ll notice something really cool about The Lion. You can punch in any ticker symbol right in the landing page, and you"ll be taken to every single post on the Internet about that stock. It"s a great way to get an idea of what others are saying about any stock you"re considering. But that"s not usually what I"m here for at this point. At first, I just want to see what traders are talking about in general, and my favorite forum for this is called "The Wall Street Pit" which you"ll find when you scroll down the landing page. Here, I just listen into the chatter, find out what"s on traders" minds and looking for breaking news and stock ideas. But I never ever take this information at face value even when it comes from someone I trust. More than once, I"ve come across a good reputable trader who either falls in love with some crappy stock or gets taken in by some scam because they want to believe. Your best bet is to picture every single poster on these boards, including the moderators, as your worst enemy in the world. Of course, it doesn"t mean there aren"t great people on these boards, there are and plenty of them. The problem is, you don"t know who they are, and it"s sometimes impossible to tell the good guys from the scumbags. So use the message boards to get stock tips but independently verify everything before you make a move. You"ll find www.TheLion.com fascinating, and you"ll find more than enough there to keep busy. But I also urge you to check out some of my other favorites from time to time, including www.RagingBull.com and www.SiliconInvestor.com. I also occasionally also get some ideas from the boards on Yahoo Finance at http:\\finance.yahoo.com. Transcribed by: firstname.lastname@example.com Page 5 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win By the way, there"s also a great message board that tracks pump and dump penny stock scams, and it"s absolutely the best source I"ve found to quickly find out if any of the stocks on your watchlist are pump and dumps. Check it out at – this is a mouthful, it"s worthwhile, just pause the video right here and watch this and visit frequently just to keep your emotions in check. Okay, so that"s step one, compile a watchlist of stocks that might be worth buying down the road, and add to it any time an interesting stock comes on to your radar. Once you"ve done that, it"s time to move on to step two, watch for a technical breakout. This sounds complicated and math-oriented but it"s really pretty simple. You see, most penny stocks tend to languish at below a certain price for months on end. They just can"t simply get beyond a certain price. And often when the price does rise, insider selling often brings it right back down to earth. But when something happens at a company, something I don"t know about, its price will often start to move. And eventually it will climb above the price that it"s been stuck at. It will break through the glass ceiling, so to speak. So for example, let"s say a penny stock has been selling for $1 per share for the past six months, and then out of the blue, the stock starts climbing from a $1 to $1.10 until it eventually hits a $1.20 a share. This indicates a technical breakout may be happening. Here"s a chart that gives you an idea of what I"m talking about. Chart like this tells me that the stock is worth taking a closer look at it, especially if that breakout helps the stock achieve a multi-week, multi- month and multi-year high, meaning the price is the highest it has been in the number of weeks, months and/or years. I also like to see strong volume in that stock with at least 50,000 shares changing hands every day. Rising volume too is an indicator that the tock may be springing to life. You see, when one of these breakouts occurs, the stock starts showing up on the screens of active traders all over the world, something which almost guarantees to increase action on the stock. But don"t worry, you don"t have to beat these traders to the punch. You"ve got time because these breakouts, except when they"re generated by a pump, generally mean something exciting is happening at a company and that the move will last long enough for you to get in for some nice profits. Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 6 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win So how do you know when a breakout is happening? It"s easier than you might think. It"s just a matter of generating the charts that reveal this. To do this, I use two different services, www.StockCharts.com and www.StockFetcher.com. You"ll have to lay out a little cash to use these services, but they"re absolutely indispensable if you"re going to trade penny stocks on your own without my help. Each site allows you to set up a watchlist of stocks to follow, and then every day, you check out their charts and look for technical breakouts. Let me stress, however, that you have to do this every day, or else you risk missing an important move in the stock that you"re watching. I also suggest that you set up charts to identify the penny stock market"s biggest three- and five-day winners, percentage wise and to look for the biggest dollar gainers under $10 a share. This is another way to both identify new stocks for your watchlist and to spot stocks that may be on the move and are worth investigating further. I use both www.StockCharts.com and www.StockFetcher.com. That"s because their stock databases differ slightly and one or the other is often missing one or more of the penny stocks I"m following, and I don"t want to miss an opportunity just because a stock fell between the cracks. So be sure to use both. I also use E*TRADE"s powerful software Power E*TRADE Pro, and I urge you to check it out as well. When you"re ready to start trading on your own, I urge you to go to each site, take their tours and compare their different plans for yourself. You can probably just do fine with each site"s cheapest plan. Also, if you look below, you"ll notice a link to a free download of all the resources I talk about in this video, complete with live links to each of these sites, as well as a few others I mentioned in this video. I"m going to show you several examples of technical breakouts in just a moment, but first I want to reveal the other criteria a stock must meet before I"ll recommend buying it, because a technical breakout alone is never enough to make me buy a penny stock. If a stock starts breaking out, it"s time for my research to begin. I want to find out everything I can about the stock to make sure it has the legs and that the move is real, and that"s when I make my move on to step three. I want to make sure the company behind the stock is in a red hot sector. Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 7 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win What"s your red hot sector? In a nutshell, it"s a market with people who are already rabidly buying the product or service in question. I"m not interested in companies that are selling things nobody is buying yet, or that have awesome, but unproven, technologies, or that are pioneering new markets. I don"t want the next big thing because I"ve found that finding it is near impossible and means I have to take on a level of risk that is simply too much for my subscribers and myself. Instead, I love copycat stocks that do what other companies are already doing successfully. Does this mean I miss out on opportunities from time to time? Yeah, it does. But you know what? It also protects me from the colossal bombs. And when you trade penny stocks, protecting yourself from a big loss is even more important than going after a monstrous gain. In a way, this part of my strategy is comparable to how I"ve read that Burger King decides to open new restaurants. Rather than pioneer new market areas, Burger King simply watches what McDonald"s does. Before opening up a new restaurant, McDonald"s researches the market like nobody"s business. So Burger King sits back and waits for McDonald"s to open a restaurant, and then it swoops in and opens its own restaurant nearby. It reduces their risk dramatically while increasing their odds of success. I follow a similar strategy with my pips, and I believe it keeps me out of a lot of trouble. In fact, it"s a great way to avoid pump and dumps, especially in the technology sector. Remember, Emergent Health Corporation, the pump and dump I mentioned in the first video, as you may recall, the company claimed they could inject stem cells into vitamins as a way to "rejuvenate life". I didn"t have to know anything more than to know this company wasn"t for me because it was supposedly pioneering a brand new technology. And like I said, I avoid pioneers like the plague. Of course, as it turns out, Emergent was a nasty pump, and the SEC ultimately shut their stock down. But it"s just one more reason to stick to hot sectors that don"t require breakthrough discoveries to get them going. Okay, so that"s step three. Let"s move on to step four, which is really just an expansion of step three. Once I find a penny stock in a red hot sector, I start to look for a comparison company. What"s a comparison company? It"s a competitor Transcribed by: firstname.lastname@example.com Page 8 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win in the same business that is doing well and has already seen its stock price went up in price. This tells me that the company has a chance to last long enough to make me a little money on it. And I also know that since traders have already made money in a similar company, or watched as other traders made money, they"ll be looking to pounce on any similar companies that come along that might bring them some profits. So whenever you"re looking into a company, take a look at its competitors to make sure it"s a viable business and that the stocks behind these companies see some action. Again, I"ll give you a few examples in a moment, and that brings us to the final step. I also want the company to have what"s called a catalyst. What"s a catalyst? Well, a catalyst is anything that triggers the penny stock to move. Think of it like trying to start a campfire. You have dry logs, a bucket of gasoline, and a camp site. But without a spark, you"ll never start a fire. Same goes for penny stocks. A penny stock needs something that gets it moving. There are a number of things that can act as a catalyst. For example: Media attention. A new patent. FDA approval for a product. A contract or a joint venture with a much larger company. An approaching IPO for a company in which it has a significant ownership stake. Or even the hiring of a new CEO. When these kinds of things happen to a company that meets all of my other criteria, look out above because you may have a stock on your hands that"s ready to go through the roof. But be careful. As I mentioned, companies are always releasing hype-filled press releases, loaded with speculation that one of these catalysts is about to come into play for the company, and that makes it absolutely crucial that you review each company"s SEC fillings to confirm as much as you can about the company. These filings are easily accessible on your broker"s website or through such popular sites as Google Finance or Yahoo Finance. When you look at the SEC reports, you want to confirm as many details as you can about any big news that has come out about the company, and you Transcribed by: firstname.lastname@example.com Page 9 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win want to watch for red flags and that the deal will actually be bad for shareholders. For example, if a penny stock announces a contract with a larger company, it"s going to need cash in the bank to handle the contract. You need to make sure the company has the cash, and you"ll find that info in the SEC filings. What you don"t want is a company that has to raise money to make this deal happen. If the company has hardly any money in the bank, it"s likely to use any stock price spike to raise money by selling more shares. But such a move dilutes the value of shares owned by current shareholders and is usually toxic for them. Remember, if a company doubles the number of outstanding shares, the shares you own instantly lose half their value, regardless of what"s happening in the stock market. Also, keep a sharp eye out for selling by company insiders. If good things have happened, or are about to happen at a company, why on earth would they be selling? It"s often an indicator that the news isn't as rosy as they"d like you to believe. Another red flag is when lots of options owned by company insiders are on the verge of vesting. Meaning they can turn them into shares and sell off big blocks of stock for big profits that kill the stock price. Companies will often pad their press releases at vesting time in order to give the executives a nice payday. That is the number one problem with penny stocks. Many of them simply have too many people who got into the stock at $0.02, $0.03, $0.04 and $0.05 a share, and they want to sell at $0.50, $0.75 or even a $1 a share on any good news. So keep a sharp eye on those SEC filings. It"s not the most exciting reading in the world, -- that"s an understatement – but if you"re going to succeed in this game on your own, it"s absolutely essential. Okay, let"s do a quick summary and then move on to a few examples. First, I go to the message broads to hunt down hot penny stock ideas and compile a watchlist of stocks. Next, I watch the stocks for technical breakouts that alert me to look into the stock more carefully. Third, I confirm that the company is in a red hot sector. Fourth, I make sure the company has a competitor who is already doing well in the same market. And finally, I look for catalyst that is triggering the stock to move higher. Now, to make all this crystal clear, let me give you a few examples of penny stocks I found using my formula. Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 10 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win Let"s start with a neat little company I recommended called Zagg, Inc., ticker symbol ZAGG. Zagg makes invisible shields that protect iPads, iPhones, and other mobile devices. I found Zagg through a message board and almost immediately saw it was breaking out to a 52-week high on strong volume. Previously, the stock had been stuck in the low $1- per-share range for nearly two years. You can see the move pretty clearly on this chart, and it didn"t stop until the stock hit $8 per share nearly six months later. I also liked the fact that Zagg was in a red hot sector. In this case, mobile media, which was taking the world by storm, and Zagg tapped into that market with its protective shields for mobile devices. Zagg also compared favorably to another proven winner, Forward Industries, Inc., ticker symbol FORD, a company that makes leather carrying cases for laptops, not an exact comparison but close enough for my purposes. Forward had exploded on to the scene back in 2005 when it surged from the single digits all the way up to $30 a share. As for the catalyst, iPhones and iPad sales had just begun to zoom, both products that encouraged the use of accessories like those sold by Zagg, and the rising-tide-lifts-all-boats philosophy may have well explained Zagg"s rising sales. I got my subscribers into Zagg immediately on the breakout at $1.49, and it soared all the way to $8.00 a share before the move was finished. That"s the gain of 504% in just a few months. However, I must admit, as I always do, I sold early and got out for just a few percentage points after a few days. Yes, it"s true. I"m a far better researcher than trader which is why if an imperfect trader like me can make millions trading these stocks, I"m confident that you can do better, as many of my subscribers have learned. And then there"s Diedrich Coffee, ticker symbol DDRX. Diedrich was cashing in on the home coffee craze, as consumers were buying home brewing machines and coffees at premium prices. However, the company didn"t really grab my attention until solid earnings pushed the stock up 100% in one day, after its quarterly sales and profits really began surging. Now, even though it had already seen a huge move in just one day, I took a position when Diedrich was priced at $4.18 per share. I was looking for a quick profit and got my subscribers out at $4.75 the next day later, a nice 13.64% gain. Little did I know, Diedrich would surge all the way to Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 11 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win nearly $40 a share within a few months. So anyone with more patience than me could have made some truly spectacular profits. I latched on to Diedrich in part because of that big earnings breakout and the fact that it was in a hot sector. But I also saw that it compared favorably to a similar company, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters that had gone from $2 a share to $30 per share. In the end, Diedrich put some nice profits in my pocket, and anyone who followed my advice to buy it did pretty well, too, especially those who were patient. Let me give you one more example, Liquidmetal Technologies, ticker symbol LQMT. Liquidmetal is a tech company that does research and development on new metal alloys. Of course, the very name Liquidmetal conjures up scam in my mind and seems like something penny stock promoters could have had a heyday with. After all, the murderous Cyborg in Terrminator II was made of liquid metal and could morph into anything he touched and even melt into the ground when needed. So when I first heard about the company and its supposed impending deal with Apple, I was skeptical to say the least. You can see the company"s technical breakout on the chart below. The stock was practically comatose under $0.20 per share for years, and then it suddenly shot up like nobody"s business from $0.25 per share to $0.50 per share. The rumor was that Liquidmetal had signed a deal with Apple for the licensing of some of its metals. It was exactly the kind of rumor that stock promoters would unleash in an attempt to pump up a stock. But when I started digging around, I discovered that the company hadn"t hired a single stock promoter. Nobody was pumping the stock. In fact, the company wasn"t even putting out press releases about the deal, whereas pumps put out a press release about every pie-in-the-sky deal they can think of. In any case, at this point, Liquidmetal had a technical breakout going forward, and the promoters weren"t behind it. I also liked the fact that Liquidmetal was at least working in a hot sector, computers. It"s a bit of a stretch, I"ll admit since it"s a metals company. But in this case, my experience told me it was close enough and that if this deal with Apple were real, that would be enough to carry the day. Transcribed by: firstname.lastname@example.com Page 12 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win Deals with big companies are always great catalysts because they usually mean a big spike in revenue, heightened interest from investors and a nice run up in the stock. You may have noticed that while Liquidmetal had a nice breakout, was in a hot sector and had a great catalyst, I didn"t list a comparison company which, as I mentioned, is one of my key criteria. In this case, there was no comparison company, but since all the other factors were so strong, I decided to go with it anyway. In other words, every stock doesn"t always fit my criteria perfectly. So sometimes I have to weigh all the factors and decide if the positives outweigh the negatives. However, I don"t recommend that you do this until you"ve got several years of experience under your belt. It"s just too risky for someone who is new to this market. I got my subscribers into Liquidmetal at just $0.54 per share. I watched carefully as the stock climbed to $0.84 per share the very same day. Being a natural born coward, I decided a 50% gain in less than a day was good enough, so we sold at $0.84 for a quick 55.73% gain. Our profits would have been higher if we"d just held on to the stock as the stock actually shot up to $1.76 per share just a few days later. And while I hate to miss out on profits, I also hate losses. Today the stock sits at $0.65 per share. And I could just imagine how many investors sitting fat and happy at $1.76 and thinking the stock would go higher rode it all the way back down to $0.65 a share. All right, so there you have it, my five-step formula for safely trading penny stocks. Let me recap: 1. Find penny stocks with potential by looking for ideas on the message boards. 2. Watch your stocks like a hawk every day looking for technical breakouts. 3. Make sure each stock is in a red hot sector. 4. Look for a comparison company. 5. Look for a catalyst that will send the stock higher. And remember, before you buy, always confirm as much as possible about the company by taking a look at their SEC filings. If something Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 13 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win smells fishy, don"t buy the stock. It"s simply better to save your money for another day than to have to make up for big losses. Now, if you follow my five-step formula, you"ll dramatically increase your odds of success in the penny stock market. Of course, there are no guarantees, and remember, I"ve been doing this for 12 years now, and I spend 60 to 80 hours a week at it. This has enabled me to develop a certain instinct about the market and to spot little indicators that are likely to escape your eye. And because of the hours I put in and my ability, developed over the last 12 years, to immediately laser in on what"s important about companies pretty darn quickly, I"m able to evaluate many more opportunities than most investor ever can. Which means I often find winners that otherwise would have fallen by the wayside. This explains why I was able to wrack up gains of 197% in 2008, 141% in 2009, and 55% in 2010. Can you do as well? Obviously, I can"t answer that. It all depends on the time you put in and how carefully you follow my formula. But if you"re willing to put in the hours and do the analysis, I"m willing to bet you"ll do better than 99 out of 100 penny stock investors who buy based on hunches and hot tips, or repeatedly fall for some promoted penny stock. But let me remind you that in the next few days, I"ll be introducing you to my new service that will do all of this hard work for you. With my new Penny Stock Millionaire Program, you won"t have to worry about slogging through message boards, studying charts, or digging into a company"s SEC filings. Call me a psycho, some people do, but I love doing that stuff, and I regularly miss out on social events, favorite TV shows and vacations in pursuit of the lateest, greatest penny stock. Ask any of my friends, and they"ll confirm how selfish I am with my time. So if you"d rather I did all the research for you so you can spend your time doing whatever it is that you love, then my new Penny Stock Millionaire Program might just be for you. I"ll have all the details about the program for you in just a few days, so watch for that announcement. In the meantime, as you may recall, I promised earlier in this video to give away three free memberships in the Penny Stock Millionaire Program, and winning one is pretty easy. All you have to do is ask me a question or make a comment on the blog below. I"ll read every comment Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 14 of 15 Wealth Insider Alliance Proven Secrets for Picking the Penny Stocks That Make You Win and every question, and the three most insightful will win a free membership in Penny Stock Millionaire. By the way, I"ll also be answering as many questions as possible on an upcoming video. I want all these to be as clear as possible, and I don"t want to leave you hanging on anything. So, please, if you have question, if I haven"t been clear about something, fire away with your questions, and I promise to answer as many of them as possible. In closing, let me thank you for watching and remind you to download the free resource file link below, and be sure to watch your inbox so you"ll know when I post the Q&A video and the video that describes my new Penny Stock Millionaire Program. Until then, have a great rest of the week. [End of Video] Transcribed by: email@example.com Page 15 of 15

Summer is here! Unofficially, at least. It was absolutely beautiful in New York City over the long weekend… Loads of sunshine, perfect temperatures, and no rain. I definitely can't complain! I spent the weekend relaxing in Central Park, ventured to Brooklyn for ice cream cones under the bridge and lobster rolls at Luke's, and had a few rowdy nights out in the East Village with some friends. Tis the season!

Hi, I'm running WordPress 3.3.1 with Pagelines Framework 2.1.1. I am very excited about the introduction of [sitewide Defaults] button on PAGELINES > META > [sITE DEFAULT] > [FEATURES]. I wanted to adjust the Feature Slider height from 330px to 250px, so I entered 250px in above mentioned page (together with other settings, ie transition time in ms, etc.,) and clicked on [sitewide Defaults]... nothing happened! Web address did not refresh, no message popped up. Can someone share with me, "How to use [sitewide Defaults] on Feature sliders"? I just want one setting applied for the whole site. Also, is [sitewide Defaults] only for new pages with Feature sliders or does it override previously set (at page level) Feature slider settings? Thank you! Paul

Excellent recipe as written. I didn't change anything. Doubled the batch so I could freeze some. Hoping that freezing won't change the consistency of it. Will make this again. Great comfort food for cold chilly weather.
We loved the flavor!! My second batch I used a vegetable stock and some crisped tempeh bits(to replace the bacon fat and butter) and olive oil for the vegetarians in the family. Thank you so much for this recipe.

This was delicious! I followed it almost to a tee except I used dried thyme, didn't have fresh, and I omitted the cinnamon because I thought it might overpower it. I think you could go without the bacon grease to make it healthier. I'm glad I doubled the recipe, made a big pot.
I love these flavours! I made a couple of small changes. I used about a tbsp of coconut oil instead of bacon fat. I didn't have any brown sugar, so I used a tbsp of maple syrup. I also added 1/4 tsp of tumeric for the health benefits, not the flavour. My only issue was that I should have took another reviewers advice and doubled the recipe!
Wonderful flavour. I did add 3 cloves crushed garlic after sauteeing the carrots and onion. Served with a dollop of full fat sour cream and crumbled bacon it was very very good.
I've made this a few times now and love it!! Didn't make it quite as spicy as I have before because hubby had a tooth out and needed something to slide down easily and it's so quick & easy - I thought I'd lay off the spicy this time .... before I use butter and olive oil (instead of bacon grease) I MUST remember I have coconut oil in the cupboard (I put spoonful on pooch's food and his coat is really soft) - I didn't have onion so I used 3-onion spices from the cupboard and powdered ginger instead of paste .... no other changes - absolutely delicious and is definitely my go-to soup recipe
Hubby and I really liked this, but 2.5 year old wouldn't eat it. Made some minor changes: all bacon grease instead of butter, 1/2 tsp dried thyme (total) instead of fresh, 1.25 tsp ground ginger instead of ginger paste, about 1/2 C OJ, and omitted the half-and-half (needed to make this non-dairy).
Overall good, but needs "something"

Suzanne, Thank you for posting the gravesite of Emil Huber. He was my great-uncle. One correction is that he was actually born in Paris, France, although he did emigrate from Zurich. His Declaration of Intention to become a US citizen can be found on Ancestery.com. His personal devotion to his faith is part of our family heritage.

Thanks so much for the transfers.
These are my grandmother's family. My dad's family was from the Perryopolis and Star Junction area. With the changes/different spellings of names, it is hard to research them.
I haven't been able to find much yet. Need to make a trip to Pa. I guess.

Julia Fedick Headstone
You are my guardian Angel! Thirty years ago, I took my mother on a visit from Ohio to the town where she was born, Star Junction. During that visit, she took me to the Saint Nicholas cemetery and pointed out my Aunt Julia Fedick's headstone. In June of this year, as I was working on my family history, I decided to travel from my home in Massachusetts to the cemetery for the express purpose of taking a photo of the grave marker. As you've indicated, having no success in finding it, I searched all around the area, even the hill, but still could not locate it. I want to thank you so much for remembering my Aunt Julia. How were you able to get the birth/death dates without the stone?

Somalia ( /soʊˈmɑːliə/ soh-MAH-lee-ə; Somali: Soomaaliya; Arabic: الصومال aṣ-Ṣūmāl), officially the Somali Republic (Somali: Jamhuuriyadda Soomaaliya, Arabic: جمهورية الصومال Jumhūriyyat aṣ-Ṣūmāl) and formerly known as the Somali Democratic Republic under Socialist rule, is a country located in the Horn of Africa. Since the outbreak of the Somali Civil War in 1991 there has been no central government control over most of the country's territory. The internationally recognized Transitional Federal Government controls only a small part of the country. Somalia has been characterized as a failed state and is one of the poorest and most violent states in the world.
Somalia lies in the easternmost part of Africa. It is bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Kenya to the southwest, the Gulf of Aden with Yemen to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, and Ethiopia to the west. It has the longest coastline on the continent, and its terrain consists mainly of plateaus, plains and highlands. Hot conditions prevail year-round, along with periodic monsoon winds and irregular rainfall.

Confronted animals
Confronted animals, or confronted-animal as an adjective, where two animals face each other in a symmetrical pose, is an ancient bilateral motif in art and artifacts studied in archaeology and art history. The Anti-Confronted animals is the opposing motif.
Bilateral symmetry is a dominant aspect of our world and strong representation of it with matching figures often creates a balance that is appealing in artwork.
In ancient artwork, confronted-animal motifs often involve a central figure between two confronted animals, and are probably part of a unified socio-cultural motif. A related motif in ancient art is known as the Lord of the animals.
It is thought that the iconography sometimes has ritual and religious associations; for example, the Lion Gate of Mycenae has a column between the protective, surmounted and confronted lionesses standing with two feet on the ground and two on the same base on which the column rests. The column is thought to represent a goddess, abstracted to avoid tabooed direct representation.
Gebel el-Arak Knife[edit]
The reverse side of the Gebel el-Arak Knife handle, displayed at the top of the article, shows two powerful confronted lions, separated by a figure who is grasping them. Of note, the knob on the reverse shows the top end of the hole for a cord or rope, on the suspension lug; this knife may have been worn around the neck ceremonially.
Examples from archaeology[edit]
Cylinder seals[edit]
Examples of confronted animals exist on Cylinder seals from Mesopotamia. Deities, or heroes grasping lionesses, cattle, griffins, or other imaginary creatures are sometimes found.
Many cylinder seals involving confronted goats surrounding a central Tree of life on a 'cone' or 'mountain' platform share one common theme. Others may be thought of as deities holding the animals under their control.
Because cylinder seals are numerous and also come from pre-historical periods, back to the fourth or fifth millenniums, themes are varied. Another Tree of life type of confronted animals cylinder seal has a "hero grasping water buffalo" and a "bull-man grasping lions", each between the animals; again, the central figure is the "Tree-of-Life" that often is interpreted as representing a goddess.
Confronted snakes[edit]
Confronted snakes are frequent images in many cultures from ancient times to historical periods. Often associated with religious ceremonies and deities, perhaps the most familiar figure known popularly from ancient times is the deity or priestess of Crete depicted holding up two confronted snakes on either side of her.
A chlorite vessel [1] from the area of contemporary Baghdad, Iraq is displayed at this link. It depicts three pairs of confronted animals. Two confronted snakes are being held in the hands of the central figure; below the snake-pair are a pair of anti-confronted-lionesses (although they turn their heads to face each other their hind quarters are closely confronted), recumbent. The third similar pair of animals on this item are two anti-confronted bovines with a human or deity between also. Two tumbling lions and other animals are depicted to the right.
Narmer Palette[edit]
The Narmer Palette, used to mix cosmetics in the receptacle on one side, has two confronted felines, sometimes called serpopards (because of their exaggerated long necks which look snakelike to some researchers) forming the receptacle. Close examination of the animals with the exaggerated, long necks supports identification as lionesses. The entire theme of the Narmer Palette, is about the pharaoh of the newly unified Ancient Egypt represented in two scenes, (palette obverse, palette reverse). On one side the pharaoh wears the crown of Upper Egypt and on the other, the pharaoh wears the crown of Lower Egypt. Thus, it is thought that the lionesses with their intertwining necks are representing two kingdoms, once separate, but now unified under one pharaoh. The lioness Bast had been the protective deity of one kingdom and the lioness Sekhmet of the other kingdom, equally important deities in each of the early Egyptian pantheons. Respectively, they were the special protectors of the pharaoh in each kingdom, who persisted as deities throughout the long history of unified Ancient Egypt. Eventually their roles diverged, however, with one becoming less of the protector and warrior deity and assigned other roles. Typically, many similar deities in the two kingdoms soon were merged, so the retention of both is thought to be the result of the long and strong tradition of each.
Examples of other confronted animals exist on many cosmetic palettes of Ancient Egypt that have been discovered. One palette has confronted-hippopotamuses; others include giraffes, geese, and other animals familiar to the Egyptians. Bilaterally depicted palm trees also are known as well on palettes.
Mycenae Lion Gate[edit]
The gate to the citadel of Mycenae is shown to the right. It crowned the major entrance gateway to the ancient citadel that was the centre of the culture, Mycenaean Greece, that predated that of Greece, and is a well-known example of two confronted lionesses. Debate exists in research of this image, questioning whether these are leopards or lionesses confronted with a column between them that represents the deity, but the characteristic tufts at the end of the tails confirm the species. Many images of lioness related deities are depicted with heavier manes than typical for lionesses, but that may have been the result of attempts to interpretation of the species or, unfamiliarity with the atypical dimorphic differences within this feline species.
Etruscan tomb mural[edit]
Confronted leopards appear in a tomb found in Tarchuna (Tarquinia), or Tarchna Tarchnal, the chief of the twelve cities of Etruria, a district in what is described as the Etruscan civilization that existed in Italy from 1200 BC through the 100 BC. It appears in the earliest history of Rome, which was dominated by it until early in the 330s BC. This mural features confronted leopards providing protection for a banquet in the afterlife. Frequently felines, lionesses and leopards such as these are confronted with a tree, shrub, or column between them in murals from this culture. The Etruscans are thought to have migrated from the area of Troy,[citation needed] through Greece where they absorbed many cultural elements, to Italy where they founded their culture in prehistoric times.
Asian and European art[edit]
Confronted-animal motifs are found extensively in Asian art and in textiles, including rugs, across Eurasia. In Europe they are an important motif in animal style, or zoomorphic decoration, Insular art, and the Romanesque. In these contexts there may be little or nothing between the two animals, and the emphasis is on the pair themselves. Human figures are often treated in the same way, often mixed in with animals in decorative schemes - archers were especially popular in the Romanesque period.
The early Anglo-Saxon ship burial found in contemporary Great Britain at Sutton Hoo, from the seventh century AD, contains famous examples of Migration Period art.
The Sutton Hoo purse lid has three stylized confronted-animal pairs; the two side pairs, left and right, are identical, and have the animals in the person's clutched grasp. The central confronted animals are even more complex in theme.
Supporters in heraldry, not always a matched pair, continue the theme.

Horace Pippin: The Way I See It
on view through July 19
One of the leading figures of 20th-century art, Horace Pippin (1888-1946) is known for his insightful, expressive and bold paintings. The exhibition will examine the work of Pippin, a self-taught artist who remained independent-creating and upholding a unique aesthetic sensibility. Pippin vividly depicted a range of subject matter, from intimate family moments and floral still lifes to powerful scenes of war, history and religion. Horace Pippin: The Way I See It will include 65 paintings-close to half of the artist's oeuvre-assembled from museums and private collections across the United States. The Brandywine River Museum of Art will be the only venue for this exhibition, the first major exhibition of the artist's work in more than 20 years.
Taking its title from Pippin's response to his own question about what made him a great painter: "I paint it exactly the way it is and exactly the way I see it," the exhibition will look closely at Pippin as a self-taught artist who remained independent—creating and upholding a unique aesthetic sensibility, vividly depicting a range of subject matter, from intimate family moments and bold floral still lifes, to powerful scenes of war, history and religion.
Pippin was born in West Chester, Pennsylvania, less than 10 miles from the Brandywine, but grew up in Goshen, New York. He eventually returned to West Chester in 1920 after serving in World War I as part of the renowned African-American regiment known as the "Harlem Hellfighters."
The war, Pippin would later declare, "brought out all the art in me." Despite a war injury that severely limited the use of his right arm, Pippin created an illustrated journal of his war experience on his return home, and by 1930 had begun teaching himself to paint in oil using his left arm as a support for his right hand.
Pippin painted in relative obscurity during most of the 1930s. Though his work was well known to his neighbors and sometimes displayed in local businesses, it was not until 1937 that his paintings gained wider public recognition when he exhibited two works at the Chester County Art Association's annual exhibition. Awarded a special mention by N.C. Wyeth, who was judging the show and helped ensure that Pippin's paintings were shown prominently, Pippin immediately garnered local press attention. Wyeth also persuaded the art critic and collector Christian Brinton to arrange for Pippin to have a solo exhibition at the West Chester Community Center, where the artist showed 10 oils and seven burnt-wood panels.
Pippin's rise to prominence was meteoric after 1937. The Museum of Modern Art featured four of his works the following year, and he was quickly embraced nationally by other museums, galleries, critics and collectors who valued the self-taught artist's style—characterized in his time as "primitive," or "naïve"—for its perceived pureness of expression. Patrons ranged from Albert C. Barnes and Edith Halpert to Hollywood figures such as Edward G. Robinson.
Despite this general labeling of his work at the time as "naïve," and Pippin himself as unsophisticated, the truth is quite different. Pippin was an astute observer of the world, and his paintings reflect his deeply personal connections to the issues that concerned him—such as peace and social justice—as well as his own experiences. The exhibition will present a comprehensive, nuanced examination of this seminal artist. It will reveal the richly varied sources of inspiration and traditions that informed the evolution of Pippin's style, and will introduce Pippin's fierce vision to a new generation of museum visitors.
Horace Pippin: The Way I See It will be accompanied by a fully-illustrated catalogue featuring insightful essays by exhibition curator Audrey Lewis, and guest authors Judith Dolkart, Jacqueline Francis, Kerry James Marshall, Anne Monahan, and Edward Puchner. It will be available in the Museum shop and online in April.
This exhibition is made possible by the Exelon Foundation and PECO. Additional support provided by The Davenport Family Foundation, Wyeth Foundation for American Art, and Dr. Benjamin Hammond.

The phrase was also used as a personal motto by Henry Chapman Mercer (1856-1930), the mastermind behind the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. Mercer, who founded the Arts and Crafts style pottery in 1898, was a man of great and varied expertise in history, archaeology and craft. First produced in 1912, his epic relief tile cycle of the New World originally consisted of 29 tiles, though he continued to add to the series over the years, expanding to more than 70 tiles.
The exhibition features 25 of the original tile designs of the New World series which were commissioned for a gracious home in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, where they remained for nearly seventy years. This exhibition marks the first reinstallation of these tiles, which will be displayed in continuous frieze as they were originally intended.

in American Cartoons
on view through August 23
From the maze-like contraptions of Rube Goldberg to the incisive political drawings of Thomas Nast, cartoons rivet public attention to issues of the day through their comic wit and visual satire.
This exhibition features a fascinating collection of over 30 works created between 1880 and 1945, selected from the Museum's rich collection of American illustration. It includes cartoons by some of America's most famous illustrators of the late 19th through early 20th centuries, including Oscar Cesare, Charles Dana Gibson, Rube Goldberg, John Held, Jr., Edward Kemble, Rockwell Kent, Orson Lowell, Rose O'Neill, Frederic Burr Opper, Thomas Nast and many others. Their drawings show a variety of styles and techniques that render incisive visual opinions about topical events, from political issues, business practices, and social morés, to even the act of viewing art.

- Record Label: Nonesuch / Rough Trade
- Release Date: Jul 25, 2006
- Summary: Not-so-prolific Welsh singer-songwriter Green Gartside returns with his first Scritti Politti album in seven years.
- Record Label: Nonesuch / Rough Trade
- Genre(s): Rock, Alternative
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 16
Mixed: 3 out of 16
Negative: 0 out of 16
With its laptop beats and closely mic'd intimacy, White Bread, Black Beer conforms to the dictates of a creator with endless time to play all the instruments and no one to please but himself, regrettably.
I'm beginning to think it's one of the smartest records-- musically and lyrically-- we'll hear all year.
Even the ticking percussion and trilling synths can't hide the sheer melodic oddness of Gartside's songs. [3 Jun 2006, p.35]
Over girl-group incantations, reggae lilt and courageously dinky old-school hip-hop allusions, Gartside searches for his emotional car keys, each comely coo abstracting him further from the truth he seeks. [Aug 2006, p.117]

I was a fan of the 80's scritti politti and this is definitely not cupid & psycheJust discovered this album by chance about 2 months ago. I was a fan of the 80's scritti politti and this is definitely not cupid & psyche or provision. The first few times I listened to this I did not really get it. But when I finally got onto the same wavelength as Gartside, I was able to appreciate the pure GENIUS of this album. It is actually some of the best music I've heard in years!!

The growth of creator-owned comics like "Saga" and "The Walking Dead" will be discussed at the ComicsPRO Annual Members Meeting in Atlanta next week.
Comics retailers to meet in Atlanta
Comic-book retailers will meet with 30 key vendors, suppliers and publishers at the event.
ComicsPRO President Thomas Gaul, of Corner Store Comics and Beach Ball Comics in Anaheim, Calif., said the market potentially is in the middle of a shake-up that may remind some of the comics boom of the early 1990s.
"Creator-owned is once again becoming a dominant force," he said in an interview with The Oklahoman. "And while I think it looks very little, if anything, like 1992, it's most definitely got several of the bigger companies on their toes — and maybe even their heels. I see 2014 as the year that the majors decide whether creator-owned is drinking their milkshake or is truly additive, and I think there could be different answers for each of those companies, depending upon their output."
Sales continue to grow in the industry, Gaul said, and he anticipates that to continue.
"Sales remain strong in 2014," he said. "We've only just started the creator-owned versus mega-universe foot race, I think."
Gaul said the chance to interact with publishers and other retailers helps make the meeting productive for many in the industry.
"For me, just the interaction with other retailers, both during the meeting and after hours, is enough justification for my time and expense," Gaul said. "Add to that the direct face-to-face contact with 30 different vendors via roundtables, the workgroup sessions, plus the guests and exclusives, and I really think it's an easy choice to make."

Dessert First? Mmmmm....
I'd like to meet a woman who believes in complete openness and isn't afraid to express herself in every way. I also believe in enjoying dessert first, if the chemistry is right. I would like my match to be adventurous enough to REALLY go skinny dipping and try similar things together. Our time together would be primarily about fun and exploration first, and possibly turning more serious as we progress. If this sounds interesting, send me an e-mail and lets talk more.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Watching sports
Baseball, Football, Golf, Other types of exercise, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I have Dogs
I like Cats, Horses
My favorite hot spot is someplace on your body. If you're really in touch with yourself, you're half way to my answer. Being in touch with yourself often is a very good thing! I don't have a paid account, so plz include a way to be in touch.
I think my favorite thing to do is to let my bad boy side out once in a while and try new/exciting things. How adventurous are you? Can you start with FWB? Would you go for giving each other massages on our first meeting if the chemistry is there?
I like to eat dessert first. Do you go good with whipped cream?
I read that a guy can't contact you back without a personal addy or IM, if he's not a paying member.

These adorable Zero Calorie Cinnamon Rolls are a great way to use up felt scraps. Turn them into jewelry, ornaments, or make a cute garland to go around your Christmas tree. This project is easy enough to do with kids, too...so the whole family can get in on the fun! Best of all, these cinnamon rolls are calorie-free, and you can make as many as you want without having any clean up!
- 2 8×11 felt sheets, one light brown and one dark brown
- Scissors
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Start off by cutting your felt in half hamburger wise.
Then cut those halves in half again, so you have 4 smaller squares (8 squares total with both sheets of felt).
Fold those squares in half again so you have 8 smaller squares (16 squares total with both sheets of felt).
Fold those squares in half, this time hot dog wise, to yield 16 long pieces (32 total with both sheets of felt).
Fold those squares in half hot dog wise one final time, to yield 32 strips that are about 1/2″ wide (64 strips total with both sheets of felt).
You're going to be using 4 strips per cinnamon roll, two of each color. Layer three pieces together, starting with a light brown, then dark brown, then light brown again.
Begin rolling the strips to form a cinnamon roll shape.
Take the last dark strip and wrap it around the cinnamon roll to hide the ends. Hot glue in place.
With your thumb, carefully push up on the center of the cinnamon roll to make it look like it has risen in the oven. A little pop is all you need!
- Repeat until all your cinnamon rolls are done. This "recipe" yields 16 calorie-free cinnamon rolls!
