Crash Market Stocks - Financial Tips On Making Money In The Stock Market

Markets took a bit of a breather today as the Dow closed down just under 100 points after a week of rallying. At this point, it's hard to speculate much past profit taking as there was nothing too significant released today. However, government officials are now claiming that indeed they may not need all of the TARP money. Really? I find that hard to believe. Considering the trillions worth of delinquent debt for banks has just magically vanished, I am sure that money has been hard at work.

Secretary Geithner seems to think that the remaining unused TARP funds can be used to pay down government debt, considering that the Treasury expects a "significant" amount of repayments being made on behalf of the banks in the coming weeks. I am quite skeptical of financial institutions who were considered on the verge of collapse not more than 7 months ago, all of a sudden able to completely free themselves of monetary assistance. If so, you know there has been a lot of money made under the table the past few months.

I have discussed in other posts about my involvement in some penny stocks, as I like to put some strong risk/reward plays in my portfolio. One in particular has been on fire as of late that I thought I'd share with you. Imaging3 (IMGG) has soared from $.03 to $1.22 in just a couple of months. The company manufacturers a portable 3D medical imaging device that is to be used in hospitals and medical clinics. Lately, it has been released that the machine will become FDA approved, which has been a big cause of the recent jump. How much higher this stock will go, I have no idea. I thought it was done at $.60. I just thought I would let you know that it's been moving and I'm reaping rewards because of it. I actively invest other strategic IPO penny stocks, shooting for high returns. I am currently investing in a new Solar start up that has some pretty impressive technology. If you are interested in investment, email me and I will point you in the right direction. I see a lot of potential with this company.

Practice Investing Without Risk

I don't see a big reversal quite yet unless a huge change of sentiment comes. There are several economic factors that currently exist that could ignite that change. In fact, we are dangerously flirting with an absolute crash of the dollar, which would be devastating for our economy. Not only would that put enormous amounts of pressure on the consumer, but it would also put an end to foreign nations buying our debt. At any rate, much of the economic noise of our economy is muted from government stimulus, but it has definitely not gone away. For me, patience will win out and big opportunities are ahead. Happy Trading.

Due to popular demand and a lot of interest from many of you, I thought I would take a non eventful Sunday evening to expound a bit more on a couple companies that I invested in last year that have been showing recent signs of strength. As I have always said, I try to remain as diversified as I can when dealing with my portfolio. I always like to have a small portion of my portfolio invested in IPO or R&D penny stock companies that I feel have great potential in the future. I allocate enough to these companies where if they hit big, the reward is very big. However, I always invest an amount that if I were to lose everything, it wouldn't kill me, because more risk comes with these smaller companies. Historically, I have found that if I invest in 10 IPO's or start up companies, I usually see the following results: 3 end up dead beat stocks (pump and dump), 4 I break even or get close to breaking even, and 2 or 3 I make good revenues, with 1 being very profitable. So, for me it's a numbers game and has worked quite well.

I wanted to focus on two different companies that I invested in last year that I see a great potential in, given our current government in office. Some of you have heard me talk about them on the chat, so I apologize for the replication for some of you. The two companies I will be talking about are Origin Oil (OOIL) and Carbon Sciences (CABN).

Origin Oil
Origin Oil is a company that is currently developing the technology to transform Algae into oil. The procedure is much more effective than the current "ethanol" procedure, which can be harmful to the environment and is very costly. Origin Oil has the patent-pending technology that transforms algae to oil in a much more cost effective procedure than ethanol. The big question is being if they can do this on a mass scale and breaking down the cell wall. However, if it is scalable, the reward could be very big.

Oil giants like Chevron have already shown great interest in pursing algae driven oil (http://www.bizjournals.com/eastbay/stories/2008/01/21/daily22.html). Origin Oil's technology acts as a compliment to their research as their plan is to license the technology (their technology develops the oil faster and helps in self-generating the algae) in the future to companies such as Chevron and Exxon.

Origin Oil recently partnered with The Department of Energy which was a very big step in their development and shows the progress of their research (http://www.bizjournals.com/eastbay/stories/2008/01/21/daily22.html) . They are probably a year or so out from marketing the technology, but there is a lot of upside for this company. Here are a couple video clips from Fox News and other news programs on Origin Oil - (http://www.originoil.com/latest-news/moneytv.html).

Carbon Sciences
The other company I see great potential in is Carbon Sciences. Carbon Sciences is a company which is developing the patent-pending technology of transforming harmful CO2 emissions into usable fuel. Sounds too good to be true, huh? You would be surprised at how far along they are at getting there. In fact, last week they announced that their prototype had been completed and that it indeed works. This caused for the stock price to bounce 60%. The big question for them is also if it's scalable. They will be demonstrating the model probably later this month, but their next step is attempting to get this model to work on a large scale so that it may work with large plants.

Carbon Sciences also plans to license out the technology eventually and will most likely be bought out, if indeed the technology becomes scalable. Last week, USA Today featured Carbon Sciences, talking about their innovative technology (http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/environment/2009-02-24-carbon-dioxide-gasoline_N.htm). Here is also a link that features Byron Elton, President and COO of Carbon Sciences, on Money TV (http://www.carbonsciences.com/01/news.php).

Both of these companies are top on my list of penny stock companies with strong potential in the future. If either of these prove to be scalable and can accomplish their goal, I honestly believe they could be a $15-$20 stock, easy. Sure, this is a big if, and if it were already decided, the stocks wouldn't be currently available under $1. I invested in both before they went public and they both have been very profitable for me thus far. Instead of cashing out of my already earned profits, I plan on sticking with them for the next couple years and see if I can get the much larger upside.

I've tried to allocate some money to green energy as I believe it's the oil of the future. Sure, alternative energy has taken a back seat, lately, due to lower energy costs and the massive reduction in oil prices. However, sooner or later oil will be back at higher prices and once again people will become more aware of alternative energy. Also, with the current administration, there are very large incentives coming to companies that are willing to participate in green practices and alternative energy.

If you are interested in investing in either of these companies, they are traded on the OTC markets (over the counter) and symbols are CABN and OOIL. I know there are tens of thousands of penny stocks out there and most seem like "pump and dump" companies that end up going nowhere, but these are two gems that stick out to me and has already proven that they are players in the market and I really feel there is great potential with both companies.

If you are interested in a special investment opportunity with either of these two companies, I can put you in touch with them about a special limited opportunity they are having with private investors, that could be very profitable. Email me with subject line CABN or OOIL to crashmarketstocks@gmail.com and I will forward you more information of who to get in contact with to find out more about the opportunity. It is worth looking in to if you enjoy these stocks that are under $1.

Chinese markets are getting killed right now, so it will be interesting to see how US markets respond. I'm hoping to continue to see green in my Zecco.com account and maybe find some new entry points for some stocks. Have a good night everyone and see you tomorrow bright and early. Happy Trading.
