» investorquest - Wow What A Difference!
New updated portfolio is now posted at http://www.mcbweb.com/contestDurban Deep, our 2nd quarter winner, is now up 143% but it is in second place, our top performer at the halfway point in our third quarter is Patent Enforcement up a respectable 156% from contest start. The portfolio has more green than ever, many of the companies are up nicely from year end and are approaching green. However, there are still those that look they need a huge boost. The fortunes are still to be made. The next six weeks should prove very interesting.
We have a portfolio to watch again ! ! !
Till next time,

» investorquest - We have Two Winners
I never thought to set rules for which currency wins, so this quarter we have two winners. (Hope Barry agrees) The largest gainer was goldpheonix with Durban Deep up 208.7%, however since this was our last quarter winner we move on to the next in line. LongGold with Caledonia Mining CAL - CALVF showing up 206.267% in Canadian funds but only up 193.877% US allowing for exchange. We also have Kirk with Suite101 BOWG showing up exactly 200%. (patience can be rewarded)Honorable mention also goes to DennisL with Juno Online up 109.36% and TheBarracuda with Patent Enforcement up 108%.
We now have 11 picks in the green. The last quarter should prove to be quite exciting as we show Pennys can be picked for profit.

In response to message posted by DennisL:I hope you actually do have some and can reap some real rewards. Maybe by the end of the contest your pick can surpass the others.
From my point of view it is nice to see three of our stocks up over the 200% level and so many more now in the green. It is enough to restore ones faith in the junior markets.

In response to message posted by investorquest:Nope, IQ, don't own any United Online in the real world. You're talking to a pure indexer here. I do use Juno for my ISP and am satisfied with the unlimited dial-up service that I get for $8.95/month. The $8.95/month resulted from a holiday special that Juno ran during December 2000. I believe the rate for newcomers is now $14.95/month--still a good deal by today's standards.

Up $1.28 Today, I searched out the news release to find out why.United Online Reports Pro Forma EBITDA Profit Ahead of Previous
Guidance; Company Expects Pro Forma EBITDA Profit to Exceed $3 Million
in March 2002 Quarter; Pay Subscriber Growth Exceeds 100,000 in Quarter
WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif., Apr. 4, 2002 (PRIMEZONE via COMTEX) -- United Online,
Inc. (Nasdaq:UNTD), a leading provider of value-priced Internet access formed
with the September 2001 merger of NetZero and Juno, today announced that its pro
forma EBITDA(1) and pay subscriber growth will exceed previous guidance for its
fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2002. The company expects pro forma EBITDA
profit for the March 2002 quarter to exceed $3 million and announced that it
added more than 100,000 new pay subscribers during the quarter.
The company's previous guidance for its fiscal third quarter, provided on
February 6, 2002, was for a pro forma EBITDA loss of between $1 million and $2
million, and for pay subscriber growth of between 80,000 and 100,000. Pro forma
EBITDA represents the net income or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation,
amortization, restructuring and merger-related charges, and other income, net.
"Achieving EBITDA profitability is an important milestone for United Online, and
we are proud to have reached this major financial goal so soon after completing
the merger," said Mark R. Goldston, chairman, CEO and president of United
Online. "We believe these results reflect the potential for this company in the
value-priced Internet access market, a segment that we feel offers major
opportunities for growth."
The company also announced that it expects a pro forma net loss(2) in the March
2002 quarter of no more than $0.03 per share, presented on a basis consistent
with the current analyst consensus estimate of a pro forma net loss of $0.14 per
share as reported by First Call. The company has previously provided guidance of
a pro forma net loss for the March 2002 quarter of between $0.12 and $0.15 per
share. Pro forma net loss represents the net loss before amortization,
restructuring and merger-related charges, and other income, net.
The net loss for the March 2002 quarter is expected to be no more than $9
million, or $0.23 per share.
United Online will be announcing results for its March 2002 quarter on May 9,
2002, and will host a conference call following the announcement at 2 p.m. PDT
(5 p.m. EDT) to discuss the results. A live Web cast of the call will be

» LongGold - Re: We have Two Winners
In response to message posted by investorquest:First of all, thank you for the award. But I'd like to thank all of the people who made it possible at Caledonia Mining.
Check out this historical chart on CALVF...
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickch...
Such a lovely double crown. Almost vertical rises. Up to nearly $10 in '94. History has already been kind twice.
Yes, there's been some stock dilution since then but they've also added to their holdings. One of their SA gold mines (Barbrook) shuttered for the past 4 years is operating again. Joint kimberlite digs with Ashton Mining in Canada's NW Territories have already produced gem quality diamonds. Further digs and evaluations are proceeding.
POG is on the rise and the yellow metal is getting good press from traditional gold bears. Price of Rand has fallen making it cheaper for miners to operate in SA (and more economical for CALVF).
CALVF is an unhedged miner with great management, virtually no debt and two other gold mines (SA & Scotland) in reserve. The stock is already up 193% this year but selling for just 16 cents per share (US)? (Not to mention CALVF's additional African nickel, cobalt & diamond properties.)
Does anyone here still wonder why I love this stock? IMHO this is a rocket just waiting to ignite.
Of course, I advise everyone to do their own due diligence. I am not a professional financial advisor etc.
But as for me, my chips are staying on the table, piled high on Caledonia Mining Corporation.

» investorquest - We Have A Grand Winner ! ! !
What a year ... from a dismal start in our first half, to a stellar finish.The winner of our Penny Stock Picking Contest is LongGold with his pick of Caledonia Mining, up a whopping 326.53% CONGRATULATIONS, you really earned your First Place.
In second place is GoldPheonix, choosing Durban Deep up 269.56%
Third place goes to DennisL who chose Juno Online up 196.06%
Kudos to all three.
In retrospect, this contest was able to show that the penny market is all about being in the right place at the right time.
If we had started the contest in October instead of last June, the % numbers would have been much, much higher.
Of the 24 companies picked, only seven ended up profitable, three were bankrupt and the others were money losers, over the year. Universal Express, the exeption, our first quarter winner, up + 400% and then losing it all to close down 12%.
To view the final standings go to http://www.mcbweb.com/contest
Good luck to all in your future investments.
