What Goes Up...Must Come Dow...

The bursting of the internet bubble in March 2000 taught us (or retaught us) one thing, that is: what goes up must come down. This is why I think the recent tear that the Dow has been on could usher in renewed interest in penny stocks. The record-se... Read >

Optimism, Earnings and New Highs Oh My!

Just how optimistic are penny stock traders? Is there a bull snorting at the door...or could a weak fourth quarter usher in a lumbering bear? You might want to hold off clicking the heels of your ruby slippers (or Italian loafers) three times. If yo... Read >

Anyone Know a Good Lawyer Joke?

Big Brother, Big Sister and the Penny Stock Trickle-Down

The dog-days of summer are behind us. So too are the cushy days of serving on a corporate board. Being a board member use to be easy; all you had to do was attend a few meetings...say "yea" or "nay" (in harmony), enjoy the odd charming meal, and maybe ... Read >

Resolve

While I hate to deconstruct the events of 9-11 down to an impersonal, economic level, the fact is, it's inevitable. For the events of 9-11 were in large part an attack not just on America and her people, but also on democracy and world capitalism. For ... Read >

To Buy or Hold...That is the Pre-Labor Day Gamble

Is Your Penny Stock Costly or Expensive?
