The International Fight League is an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion billed as the world’s first MMA league. Instead of the established norm for MMA events, where matchups [...]

Maylasia & Palm Oil

I’m working on a new penny stock post, so I’ll make this quick.
CNBC Asia had a huge story today on IOI Group in Malaysia (homepage). The story was about how the group is buying up all the palm oil plantations in Malaysia and Singapore, which is coinciding with a rising palm oil price. Demand is [...]

What’s up with Drugstore.com?

I was in love with Drugstore.com (DSCM) about this time last year. While hunting for undervalued stocks using the MSN Stock Screener I noticed that the stock was low compared to its 52-week high. I’ve found many cheap stocks using that formula - 52-week high greater than $5, current price under $2 (or $2.50 & $4 I think was the case [...]

Stocks to buy in a Recession

I’m lucky enough to enjoy CNBC, CNN, and Bloomberg’s Asian feeds every morning, so I get to see how the global economy is doing first-hand (not as filtered by American media & politics). The World’s economies are sinking. Global demand has dropped alongside US demand, which has slowed the economies of any country dependent [...]

Baltia Air Lines

Just saw this ad on a popular photo sharing site:

The ad goes to a site called MarketWatchGuru. First of all I have no idea what that picture of a couple kissing in their kitchen has to do with the next hot penny stock, and the click count is fake (just in case anyone needs a naughty [...]

Publicly Traded Porn

Since I take in a nice pile of money every year from the porn industry, I thought this news was worth sharing with the stock trading community. Penthouse is going public.
When I started managing adult sites at the end of the last decade, all you had to do was put up a credit card form on [...]
