Thanks IQ - Our Penny Picks Portfolio will start doing better by and by.

I bought Computerized Thermal Imaging (CIO) because I was excited about the prospects of their CTI breast cancer screening system, and I still am. But their industrial products, like the Turbine Blade Inspection System also sound promising. This product stands to benefit from the current ramp-up in energy production:

Markets

The worldwide market for power generation equipment, including gas turbines, is approximately $120 billion per year. Of this amount, $55 billion represents equipment for new power plants and buildings, and $45 billion represents service and retrofit. The Turbine Blade Inspection System can be used by both turbine manufacturers, such as Alstom, and turbine maintenance facilities, such as Natole Turbine Enterprises.

» Kirk - BOWG up 60% today at 40¢

Could get exciting if there is a real buyer accumulating.

I have real money in this one (but I work there).
I am overall in the red still, but I really added MANY shares at or below where we are now (40¢). Best buy was 5,000 at 16.5¢ in what seems like days ago... smile

Kirk,
That's the type of market movement that makes the pennies exciting.... Now if we could get them all to move like that.

Do you know what is causing the rise?

As you can see, CLST is highly recommended.

BOWG is in the optimistic catagory and just six points away from having positive sentiment. Probably a good accumulation period ahead of a nice move.

What is really interesting about penny stocks is how they manipulate the closing price with a low bid.

I think BOWG was trading many shares much higher then the market makers would trade 100 shares at a low bid to close the stock. REALLY strange as the price to buy 100 shares @ $0.27 is less than the commission at Schwab!

If nothing else, this contest should teach people to NEVER use a market order to buy a thinly traded stock. BOWG closed with a bid at 27¢ and an ask of 42¢.... as shown here on Yahoo http://finance.yahoo.com/q?d=t&s=BOWG.OB

Pretty good profits available if you could buy at the bid and sell at the ASK...

When you see these sorts of spreads... I suspect monkey business as I think they have orders and are trying to shake out some profit takers...

» investorquest - Portfolio Update

The prices for the past two weeks have generally continued their slide. Unfortunately there are not many bright stars to point out except that Internet Pictures is now up 11 1/2% and Universal Express still shows a very healthy gain of 440%.
We need a few more of these.
We have now passed the half way point of our first three months. Our first quarterly prize will be awarded at the end of September. Markets usually become more active next month, so I am expecting our portfolio to act accordingly....

» investorquest - Anyone Watching?

Just wondering if the contest still has any watchers. There has not been any posting on this thread since Aug 5th. I would appreciate it if those following the list could post a note to indicate there is interest.
Next week marks the end of the second month, leaving four weeks until the first quarter prize. The markets could get active in September, so I will be back to posting updates every week starting next weekend.

IQ - Thanks for doing all the work on this contest. Don't feel bad if no one comments on the contest....if you look back on this thread....I posted the results for S101 Members Portfolio 1 month after month with no comments from the participants, but am sure that the thread was being read. It's just that folks get too busy to post, and especially if their stock pick is loosing....what can they say!

I'm interested in 2win's pick...Universal Express Inc (USXP)....wowsers up 440% since the contest started!
