MICRO CAP STOCK BLOGGER SEES JANUARY EFFECT FOR UNDERVALUED MICROCAPS

Astoria, New York
Micro cap stocks could be the riskiest stocks out there but at the same time the most rewarding. Take for example The Goldfield Corporation (GV) out of Melbourne, Florida. Its shares have increased more than 7 times in calendar 2012. Unbelievable percentages for a company that was losing a penny or two per share for the 12 month period ending Sep 30 2011 and now it's earning 36 cents per share just 12 months later. << A stock purchased right before this tremendous financial event could be very rewarding to investors. We need to find cheap, good and not wanted in order to make this sizeable returns>> For 2013, we must keep our monitoring list on alert to try to find newbies like GV.

THE SANTA RALLY CONTINUES

New York,
The Santa rally began on Thanksgiving week as it bottomed out after a 1200 drop from the October highs. It's up more than 800 points since then. << It looks like we have some little more left in this rally. I won't be surprised that we see another 300 point addition to this rally by Christmas day. I m though concerned about the fiscal cliff and world events. It keeps me on alert.>>

GOLDFIELD ( GV ) BECOMES THE AMEX GOLDEN STOCK OF THE YEAR 2012

The Goldfield Corporation ( AMEX : GV) has become the wonder stock of the American Stock Exchange. It traded near at about a quarter ( 25 cents ) for Santa on Christmas week just 6 1/2 months ago. Now it has rewarded those investors with 10 bags as it broke $ 2.50 on Friday putting at risk its 2 decade high of $ 2.80, just another bag away. The question for investors is how many more bags can GV handle in this upsurge that began earlier this year. With analyists and institutions taking aim at it lately and the company coming out with mighty earnings reports, GV could easily be the best stock of the Amex and beyond for calendar year 2012. Goldfield is a electrical construction and real estate development company in the South East with a presence in many states. Founded in 1906, it is the oldest company on the American Stock Exchange. For additional info, please review available sources.

TAX SELLERS FINALIZE TODAY FOR 2011 LOSSES

Astoria , New York
With the 2011 market year coming to the end, tax sellers have only a few hours left in the United States to sell their position to get a tax loss on their tax return. Some sellers came in late this week to sell their positions. Selling their stocks late may cause price fluctuations to the downside especially for micro caps. Swaps from one equity to another could be a valuable tool here, since tax sellers have to wait one month before repurchasing the sold equity. " Also, beginning with 2011 , 1099 statements now disclose the purchase as well as the sell price of each transaction. This will allow the taxing authority to view if there is a gain or loss on each trade for tax purposes. " FPG added.

LARGE COMPANIES CAN AFFORD KICKBACKS, MICROCAPS CAN'T

Astoria, New York
The big keep getting bigger while the small get smaller may be real when it comes to persuading clients to use their products with kickbacks. Medtronic is now paying more than 23 million to settle allegations by the Us Dept of Justice for paying these to doctors to encourage them to use their medical devices , as reported by Yahoo News. " Doctors have to buy what is best for them and their patients but sometimes, they are not going to get probably the same service they get from a Medtronic, a Ge or a Boston Scientific. A kickback on top will definitely seal the deal for the doctor to be devoted to one particular product. " FPG commented. Mass production and lower costs of the product doesn't mean that the product is better than a product made by a micro cap. There are laser companies, medical device companies and other technology companies out there that offer better products but are faced with a capital crunch. Large companies know that and that's how they are able to inflict damage. Take for example Lumenis, one large laser company, based in Israel,that was able to fiddle with Trimedyne ( TMED ), a micro cap headed by Chairman Marvin Loeb and his family. The company claims to have a better product but Lumenis was able to sell more as well as infringe on Trimedyne's fibers. Immagine that Loeb was a poor man. Trimedyne might not exist today. Instead, Loeb injected family money into the company and went after monster Lumenis. The conclusion was a early this year settlement of 2 million dollars for Trimedyne and royalties for the short term. This injected fresh capital into TMED has provided a wild card and hope for the future. Meanwhile Loeb has also engaged an investment banker to explore other oppurtunities. " The bottom line is money and the power of persuasion. Hopefully this settlement can be a lesson to other large companies." FPG finalized.

MARKETS JOLTED UPWARDS ON LAST ROUND OF BANK EASING

Astoria, New York
China ignites a monster rally after a round of bank easing to stimulate the economy. After being down in the morning, European markets revert and soar to the upside 4 percent across the board. Wall Street followed as the Dow closed above 12,000 with a near 500 point monster move. " This is a positive day for the markets that have been battered because of European woes , but caution is still in peoples mind as they may trade into these wild swings. " commented FPG. The rally affected mostly larger equities with the smaller and micro caps lagging behind. " It is my belief that these micro caps, after being pressured to very undervalued levels lately, will be able to shoot up quickly in the near term. The issue is finding the right one with the ingredients that will facilitate a comeback rally" added FPG. Back in December 2009 , a microcap named Implant Sciences (IMSC) traded at 3 cents. Today, it is trading at 70 cents wuth no reverse split. " You can be holding the next power micro cap in your portfolio and you may not even know. Frustration over good tiny microcaps can lead to an excessive negative performance of these equities before a monster recapture of valuation rally begins. "

RETAILERS COMEBACK AND EUROZONE HOPES SEND FUTURES HIGHER

Astoria , New York
Worldwide markets are soaring and that was good for US futures as they are higher by more than 2 percent. Retailers did very well in post Thanksgiving sales and they are forecasted to be about 1 billion dollars more than last year. " We need to see item sales versus total sales as I may see inflation trickling into all of this, but even so it is very good and a morale booster for the economy. " commented FPG. " With the euroone, it has been a cat and mouse game and every time there is hope, that bodes well for the markets."

CAN RETAILERS REVERSE NEGATIVE WEEK DOWNTREND?

Astoria , New York
Black Friday or perhaps Black Thursday night for some stores has begun early for US retailers. Best Buy on Northern Boulevard in Woodside , Queens had between one thousand to two thousand early bird shoppers in the midnight hour early Friday morning. " The line of shoppers waiting outside was wrapped around the block. Hot items on sale were computers , flat screens and gaming equipment. " said Berlusconi Italia blogger FPG. Target in College Point had an almost full parking lot of cars. There were people on line but I was able to get in after 10 minutes. A security guard advised that the line was very long before the store opened at midnight. More than a thousand shoppers were at that location too. There were many items on sale. People snapping up flat screens , cleaning equipment , gaming items and towels. " I believe that people are coming out to buy hoping for a good deal and they are getting a lukewarm welcome from retailers. Deals are not that hot but good enough for bargain hunters " commented FPG. Police presence was evident as retailers try to prevent any stampede. Markets may signal some reversal in the negative trend of the past week once retailers begin to release their sales.
