- Intergalactic Rare Earth Penny Stocks - by Submitted on Dec 28, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootMy grades in high school chemistry were less than stellar. The only thing I really recall is memorizing the periodic table. Had my science teacher informed me that the obscure rare earth elements would eventually set Wall Street on fire, I may have been more attentive. Rare Earth Elements ...
Views: 3170(3 votes) - Penny Stock Sins Take Flight - by Submitted on Jul 12, 2010 from John Paul WhitefootTough economic times might stop people from going out less often and it might put a stop on non essential purchases, like a first edition of Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby in dust jacket, for example, that could be yours for just $500,000. What hard times won’t do though is stop gamblers from ...
Views: 1949(2 votes) - One Flu Over The Penny Stock - by Submitted on May 04, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootWho knew you could put Paris Hilton and Vice President Biden on the same intellectual plain? It seems the swine flu has lots of people confused. When asked about swine flu in an online video, the ever saavy Ms. Hilton chirped, “I don’t eat that.” Others have vowed to stop eating pork. Some, ...
Views: 1544 - 2010 – In Like A Lamb, Out Like A Lion? - by Submitted on Feb 02, 2010 from John Paul WhitefootGlorious spring is still two long months away, but March’s adage “in like a lamb, out like a lion” (or the reverse) might just be a predictor for 2010 if recent surveys are to be believed. According to a new survey, financial executives are bullish about the coming economic recovery and ...
Views: 1521(2 votes) - Recession Recovery Predictions…and Penny Stocks - by Submitted on Aug 24, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootI don’t really recall too many analysts predicting that the Western World would tumble into a major recession. Nor do I recall many economists thinking the credit crunch would amount to very much. Two years on, most analysts quoted articles I read seem to fall short of making any long-term ...
Views: 1466(1 vote) - Recessions = Innovation for Penny Stock Companies - by Submitted on May 21, 2010 from John Paul WhitefootNecessity may be the mother of invention. So too may recessions. After all, it was the Great Depression that helped to give rise to the Twinkie, Monopoly and the photocopier. In fact, electric razors, tampax, car radios, and chocolate chip cookies were all created or invented during a ...

Earth Day, which is celebrated in over 175 countries every year, has inspired many countries to become environmentally conscious and to ...
Views: 1216(1 vote) - Penny Stocks and Dividends - by Submitted on Nov 12, 2010 from John Paul WhitefootFor the most part, penny stocks enjoy the same rights and privileges as their larger cap peers. Broken down to its most basic elements, whether you’re looking to invest in Berkshire Hathaway or a dust covered penny stock, you want a company that has a good cash position, growing revenues, ...
Views: 1189(3 votes) - GM’s Misleading Commercial? Or…Penny Stocks You Can Trust. - by Submitted on May 18, 2010 from John Paul WhitefootThe recent recession has taught me many things. Not enough to know when exactly to predict a recession, when to pull out, jump in, buy or sell, but it has taught me to be more skeptical than normal of anything coming from the lips of the suits and CEOs on Wall Street. My favorite commercial ...
Views: 1176(1 vote) - Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grade Investor? - by Submitted on Jun 29, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootWhile I think I could ace a fifth grade English, grammar, history and geography test, I’m not so sure my math skills would set the bell curve on fire. And while we didn’t have an investing class in the fifth grade – I think I can safely say I wouldn’t have faired all that well. It’s not that ...
Views: 1173 - Bullish Penny Stock Investing in 2010 - by Submitted on Jan 14, 2010 from John Paul WhitefootWhere I live there’s a huge empty lot that while cleared for construction, never amounted to anything. There’s a flashy sign on the lot too, “New Auto Mall Coming in Spring 2009”. In 2007 the idea of a consolidated auto mall in the area seemed like a good idea. Not so now. The empty field ...
Views: 1038 - An Irrational Wall Street or Mislead Penny Stock Investors? - by Submitted on Sep 01, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootI read a banner ad online the other day; it was from a financial guru selling his trading techniques. Interestingly, his very witty tag line goes something like, “predicting the stock market before it goes up.” Clever I thought, he can predict the markets before they go up! I'd hate to think ...
Views: 1037 - Law & Order - The Id, Ego, and Superego – and Penny Stocks - by Submitted on Sep 28, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootI love watching Law & Order. I love it when the police and lawyers are a little shy of concrete evidence and the truth hinges on whom you chose to believe. It’s always a matter of ‘he said, she said’. Do you believe the well heeled philanthropist or the street person whose lineage is of a ...
Views: 1032 - The SEC –Patrolling the Domestic Penny Stock Shores - by Submitted on Jun 22, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootDuring the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, a little confidence can go a long way. It’s even better when the vote of confidence does what it’s actually suppose to do - - instill confidence. The Obama administration unveiled a sweeping regulatory overhaul aimed at restoring ...
Views: 1032 - Can Penny Stock Investors Trust the Bull? - by Submitted on Oct 02, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootWith investors still spooked about the ongoing validity of the current bull market, the best way to pass the time is to hunker down with the new broadcast television season. The recession blues came to life this week in Kelsey Grammer’s new (and sure to be short lived) weekly comedy “Hank”. ...
Views: 817(1 vote) - The Bull Market – An Economic Oxymoron? - by Submitted on Nov 23, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootAfter climbing to a 13 month high earlier this week, the major indexes have fallen for three consecutive sessions amid worries about the economic recovery, the strengthening dollar, and the technology sector. Does that mean the current eight month rally is beginning to wane? While new yearly ...
Views: 812(1 vote) - One Investors Junk Could Be A Penny Stock Investors Treasure - by Submitted on Aug 11, 2009 from John Paul WhitefootI was sitting with an acquaintance this past week at the dinner table. His vocabulary is chock full of clichés. It’s not that he thinks he made them up. I’m sure he knows that he’s uttering sayings people have been privy to for hundreds of years. I imagine he thinks inserting them into ...
Views: 724 - Penny Stocks That Outwit Houdini - by Submitted on Jan 21, 2010 from John Paul WhitefootThe current economy continues to be more than a little bewildering. While economic indicators suggest the gears of recovery are slowly grinding, there are some top economists who believe the country’s financial crisis is far from over. Looking back, 2009 was a great year for penny stock ...
