Latest News and Reports
Tuesday, July 13th, 2010
Good Afternoon Everyone,
I wanted to send this email out to introduce myself to all of the members of GlobalEquityReport.com. As of today I have taken over as owner of the site and all of its daily operations. I understand that the past year has been up and down with some of the companies profiled on the site. I just took a look at the past companies that were profiled and the former owners definitely profiled some huge winning picks and also profiled a lot of companies that went on to decline in value.
Nobody is ever 100% right all of the time. The obvious goal is to have more winners than losers and keep your trading account in the black.
The question is how am I going to do that?????
I have hired a team of 3 people to work with me in attempt to find the hottest plays in the market right now. I have over 15 years experience in the markets and have had substantial success day trading. I have put together a formula while evaluating companies in which I break down the management team, sector of operation, potential / products & services and recent news. While most small cap companies are news driven I will be constantly scanning companies that I feel are undervalued and have hinted at upcoming news announcements. I will only profile companies that I feel are going to be worth putting on your screen and watching.
Keep in mind that penny stocks are extremely speculative and carry a high degree of risk. Never invest more that you can afford to lose. I have seen companies get wiped out over night with no indication.
With that being said, put RPC on your screen right away. I know that the previous owners mentioned this one. RPC is a well known company. Thestreet.com rated RPC the #4 small cap company of the year. I am constantly watching this one. The chart looks great and it looks like it has the potential to move. RPC is currently sitting at 1.01 and is extremely liquid for a small cap. It is definitely worth watching. If you look at the 6 month chart you will see what I am talking about. This is an exciting company. I obviously want to impress on my first profile.

Irrational Spikes and Profit Opportunities
Penny stocks can often spike (or drop) based on the slightest provocation, even if that driving factor is of little significance. Pretend that a change in CEO seems like a great turn of events for an anxious trader, who disliked the old CEO. The investor dives into the market for $10,000 worth of shares, which could result in a 50% leap in share prices because of the buying pressure. However, the new CEO may not be enough to justify a 50% increase in the overall value and market cap of the corporation. Part of the process is to understand which driving factors are accurately priced into the shares. If you do not share our exuberant investor’s faith in the new CEO, you may want to take this opportunity to exit your position and take profits as the stock spikes 50% higher.

Penny Stock Investing
For the purposes of understanding Penny Stocks, I will treat any share that trades under $2.00 as a penny stock. Strangely, there is no official
definition for penny stocks. There are three different criteria that various individuals and organizations use to define penny stocks. What is considered a penny stock really depends with whom you are dealing.
Penny stocks can be defined by:
1. Price Per Share: Sometimes any shares that trade under a certain price are considered to be penny stocks. For example, the SEC considers all stocks that trade for less than $5.00 per share to be penny stock. Different individuals and organizations have their own cut-off.
2. Market the Stock Trades on: In some schools of thought, any shares that trade on a certain market (i.e. the OTC-BB, or the OTC, or the ‘Pink Sheets,’ or the CDNX) are treated as, or considered to be, penny stocks.
3. Market Capitalization: Market cap is simply the total trading value of the entire company. The value of each share of a stock, multiplied by the total number of shares outstanding, equals the market cap.
For example, 12,343,000 shares of ABC at $0.29 each gives ABC Corp. a market cap of $3,579,470 (12,343,000 shares times $0.29 per share = $3,579,470). That is kind of like saying that the company’s total
value is 3.5 million dollars. In some cases, organizations or individuals will treat any company beneath a certain market cap (for example, less than $10 million) as a penny stock. Interestingly, using option 1 or 3, a company can have its shares change in price moment by moment, and may drop in or out of the definition of ‘penny stock‘ over time. What may be a “penny stock” when the market open in the morning, may not be a penny stock by noon.
In some cases the definition of penny stock is generated by a combination of the above criteria. For example, any stock trading on the OTC-BB with a market cap of less than $20 million is considered a penny stock.

Penny Stock Trading
As you review the following differences between penny stocks and “blue-chip” equities, you may be able to see why professional analysts and institutional investors usually shy away from these speculative shares.
The kind of money that the big players use could crack the backs of many of these penny stock companies. There would not be enough volume on the other side of their trades to enable the transaction, because some penny stocks often trade only a few thousand dollars worth per day.
The negative connotation towards penny stocks among financial industry insiders needs to be kept in context. Sure, these investments are often low-volume, inexpensive shares of unproven companies. However, that is the beauty of penny stocks, and is partly why you can acquire such potentially rewarding stocks at such bargain prices.
As well, the lack of institutional interest is one of the keys to our methodology of picking winning penny stocks. Getting involved early, then holding on as the company gets discovered and explodes in price, is partly dependent upon the previously unknown company suddenly gaining interest from bigger players.
Speculation
Speculation is based on penny stock companies having lower available information about their operations, minimal revenues, unproven management, and often an unproven product or industry.
A big-name company like General Electric or Ford Motors will have very little speculative value. In other words, you will probably not make hundreds of percentage points on your shares, but instead would be happy with returns of 10% to 20% per year.
In some cases, traders even use large-cap stocks to hedge or protect their portfolios, out-perform the market, preserve their capital, or diversify their exposure.
On the other hand, trading penny stocks with hopes of selling when you have realized a 20% gain might be folly. Penny stocks make their gains by the hundreds of percentages, and thousands, not by the tens.
There are many bad investments in the penny stock field, so the best way to succeed is by isolating those with superior speculative value. The chance of buying into shares of the company that could multiply 10 or 20 or 50 times in price is the whole idea of speculation.
Value and Predictability Large-cap companies usually have more predictable revenues and earnings. Many analysts and investors
follow the companies, so that day to day events are quickly factored into the share price, and the stock often reflects a pretty accurate ‘worth.’

Investing in Gold
Gold continued its record-breaking climb in global markets Wednesday, after settling at an all-time high during volatile trading the day before.
What prices are doing: Gold for June delivery was up as much as $25.10, or about 2% before U.S. markets opened, putting the precious metal at a new intra-day high of $1,245.40 an ounce. It eased to $1,240.80, up $20.50.
It reached its previous intra-day high, $1,226.10, on Dec. 3, 2009.
What’s moving the market: Uneasiness about a volatile stock market is a boom for the precious metal, which is considered a safe-haven investment in times of economic uncertainty. On the day of the stock market’s so-called “flash crash” last week, gold rallied 2%, settling at $1,197.30.
Choppy trading since then has further boosted the metal’s upward momentum, as gold went on to settle at a new all-time high of $1,220.30 on Tuesday.
Concerns about the European debt crisis, which have kept markets seesawing since the Dow’s near 1,000-point drop last Thursday, have amplified uncertainties about a global economic recovery. In turn, that has boosted the appeal of tangible commodities over paper currencies or equities, which are seen as higher risk, analysts said.
Investors are also wary that Europe’s nearly $1 trillion rescue package announced over the weekend will speed up inflation and weaken the euro, analysts saidy.
What analysts are saying: Jeffrey Nichols, managing director of American Precious Metals Advisors and senior economic adviser to Rosland Capital, has for the last year predicted that gold would reach a new high by the middle of 2010. He expects gold to continue its upward trend and reach a $1,500 high by the end of the year.

Stock Market Timing
Good morning. Here’s what you need to know:
•World markets are somewhat higher in overnight trading as confidence begins to seep back into the system due to the ECB led European bailout. Gold continues to rise, notably, and is now above $1,240.
•The head of the IMF has called for the eurozone to do more than just bailout its fringe and instead bring budgets together and expand integration within the area. Transfers between states are just one solution to the problem, according to Strauss-Kahn.
•Morgan Stanley is under criminal investigation for CDO deals it arranged prior to the financial crisis. The investigation is into a similar type of instrument and deal as the Goldman Sachs ABACUS transaction.
•Property prices in China are finally starting to be impacted by the government’s tightening measures. Sale prices of Beijing properties fell 31% from the first week of April to the first week of May. See why China’s real estate bubble is the most obvious ever.
•Corporate access to debt financing has hit a troubled patch as investors look to move into emerging market debt and suddenly more solid sovereigns. Debt issuance has dropped 62% since last month. See why small businesses don’t have much confidence in this recovery
•Amazing. Basically every single major bank (Citigroup, Goldman, JPMorgan, and Bank of America) had a perfect trading quarter in Q1.
•The UK’s new government is starting to take shape and there is a proper coalition, with Prime Minister David Cameron sharing seats in his cabinet with both Conservatives and Liberal Democrats. UK debt CDS has fallen, a clear sign that sentiment around the new government is confident in markets.
•Deutsche Telekom, with American subsidiary T-Mobile, has reported positive Q1 results with the company bringing a net profit of €787 million, bettering a loss in the same period a year ago. Sales, however, declined during the period.
•A Libyan airplane has crashed flying from South Africa to Tripoli, with at least 96 found dead, leaving only one Dutch child as a survivor. The plane was trying to land at the time of the accident.
•Thai stability remains on the brink with protesters in the city of Bangkok set to have their water supply cut off if they don’t depart the city by midnight. The government has threatened the use of force to remove the protesters. Don’t miss our complete guide to the protests here.
