Weekend Debriefing: Turkey Sandwiches and Small-Cap Rallies
By John Schuler
November 28, 2008
Hopefully you got some time yesterday to relax and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. The market was of course closed, which meant that stocks, for a change, actually held their value…
But the small-cap sector actually did quite well during the first half of this week. They were leading the charge during the rallies on Monday and Wednesday. On both occasions, the Russell 2000 and S&P Small-Cap 600 outpaced the Dow by a fairly hefty margin (roughly 3% more gains for the small-cap benchmarks). These short rallies have helped to remind us that penny stocks are the fastest to rise during periods of market recovery. Jim Nelson and Greg Guenthner just finished up the December issue of Penny Stock Fortunes. Inside, they recommend four penny stocks that you can buy right now, and ride back up when the market regains its senses.

Profiting from America's Addiction to Internet Bandwidth
By Greg Guenthner
The Internet is often portrayed as an infinite resource — an endless collection of content and information. This couldn't be further from the truth. Yes, the Internet is a vast resource. But as with oil, the fuel that powers the Web is finite. And if we fail to act soon, the way in which we access and use the Internet could change forever…
Where can we find scarcity on the web? Look no further than bandwidth. Bandwidth is the capacity to move information. When you pay your Internet bill, you're paying for bandwidth — which is why higher bandwidth options like cable or DSL cost more than older, lower-bandwidth dial-up. Your phone bill is made up of bandwidth too — all those texts you receive, the e-mails you get and the calls you make are really just bandwidth. Even your cable TV bill is for bandwidth. But if bandwidth is just a pipeline to information, why are we spending so much on it… Read the Full Article Here… <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Putting Your Money in with the Pros for Pennies on the Dollar

We've talked a lot recently about what the market is doing, and how bleak the whole investment world is. Today, we're going to step back and let you in on what truly matters…profiting from penny stocks.
You see, even in the worst of times, there are winners and losers. We know the losers of the day — Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, and AIG. But, let's take a look at how others are faring for a change. There are always opportunities to find the next big winner when you least expect it.

Jerome B. Chaffee didn't make enough as a schoolteacher. So he took a job as a sales clerk in a dry goods store. Then he took that money and started a dry goods store of his own.
When that wasn't enough, he packed his bags and went to Colorado in 1860. See, Colorado then — as right now — was mineral rich. And even though Chaffee knew next to nothing about mining, he saw the possibilities. And started snapping up the "royalty rights" on as many gold and silver claims as he could afford. Every time one started to pay off, he bought more. Until he had a business making between $300,000–500,000 per year — or as much as $17.3 million today… Read the Full Article Here…
