IPO Companies to Add to Your Stock List


Since the much anticipated General Motors IPO (GM:NYSE), many investors have started paying much more attention to new stock offerings. Even secondary offerings have seen more interest from retail investors due to a slew of successful bank offerings that paid down TARP. However, some IPO’s are not for everyone. Many of the highly sought after deals are just “flipped” by institutions, and the lesser quality deals are often given to retail investors, who often take risk similar to risk taken in silver and gold penny stocks, just to participate in these offerings.

ipo market IPO Market 2011Before you invest in an IPO in either the offering or the aftermarket, you must remember that most of the stocks do not work over the long term, and are usually only traded by institutions or speculative retail investors.The purpose of the article is very simple. In addition to informing you about market conditions, new events and hot penny stocks, we are going to trying to give our subscribers some color on new issue and secondary stock offerings from time to time. Here are some deals that are coming up. Take a look at the list of stocks below:

ServiceSource International (SREV:NASDAQ)
Provides a service revenue management and renewals platform for tech firms and is the hottest deal of this week. For that matter, it’s probably the hottest deal of next week too. Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank are the lead underwriters and retail allocations will be very small. The deal is multiple times oversubscribed and is expected for Friday. The early trading volatility in ServiceSource may remind some of a hot penny stock after a PR.

Express Inc. (EXPR:NASDAQ)
This specialty retailer of clothing and shoes is the type of deal to watch and add to your list of stocks. The stock is followed by Goldman Sachs who has a $20 price target. However, this is a selling shareholder deal. This means, in most cases that some or all of the funds raised by the the offering. In the case of Express, they will receive none of the funds. This could get interesting in the next week or two. For you speculative types, Express could provide penny stock like volatility the closer it gets to the secondary offering. The deal has no set date , but is expected in the near future. Bank of America, Piper Jaffrey, UBS and Morgan Stanley are the lead underwriters.

Check back frequently for Market news, penny stock alerts and IPO market news. Good luck, and add these two names to your list of stocks to watch.


 

Gold Penny Stocks to Watch


While oil rose in today’s trading gold closed basically flat, after a five day run. Last week the dollar fell, and as we all know, has been weak for some time. Many have called the long gold/short dollar trade the most crowded trade in recent history. As a result, we have seen blue chip gold stocks like Newmont Mining (NEM:NYSE) double since 2009. Newmont has been one of the gold stocks to watch for sometime. Certain gold penny stocks have also provided huge returns, and silver penny stocks have also benefited greatly from the widespread interest in the yellow metal.

newmont mining Gold Penny StocksAs many know, there are very smart people on both sides of the gold trade. Both sides are extremely passionate in their beliefs that gold will either drastically go up or down. One thing that seems evident, is that gold is no longer solely used as an inflationary hedge. Factors like QE3 will always influence the price of gold and will lift the rising tide of gold large caps, ETF’s and gold penny stocks. However, much of the move we have seen in this precious metal can be attributed to the most basic economic principal. It’s called supply and demand.

Sheer buying interest and short covering is always a part of any prolonged rally. It happens every day, and the sharp moves in physical commodities are often as sharp as those seen in a rising gold penny stock. The percentage of gold related investments has risen dramatically in relationship to portfolios asset allocation ratio. Financial pundits talking of a return to the gold standard has even added more fuel to the fire. Does this signal a top ? I’m not sure. However, I do know that it probably won’t hurt to do some research on the names in the gold space. Just in case the gold bugs are correct. Forming a list of gold stocks to watch is certainly prudent. Especially with what’s going on in Japan, North Africa and the Middle East. If you decide to act hold some of the large cap names for the long haul and speculate with a smaller dollar amount in a few well thought out gold penny stocks.


 

Japan Penny Stocks – Japanese Economy Shakin’ by Quake


Monday was a prime example of why both long term investors and traders need lists of stocks. Most Japanese ADR’s which trade on the NYSE traded higher today based on the eased sentiment from the nuclear crisis. Smart money came in to these Japanese ADR’s and ETF’s late on Friday buying weakness and figuring the situation wouldn’t get much worse.

japan Japanese EconomyDespite the Nikkei being closed today stocks like Nomura (NMR:NYSE), Sony (SNE:NYSE), Toyota Motor (TM:NYSE) and Hitachi (HIT:NYSE) all closed up over 2 percent today. Even Honda Motor, which was a favorite short selling play last week ,rallied over 1.3 percent.

Is this a relief rally ? Maybe. Can this new bullish sentiment change tomorrow ? Yes. However, if the situation changes for the better in Japan, the bottom line is that investors bought some cheap stock in the past few sessions. Remember, even the best penny stocks to buy have down days, even if they were rising stocks the week or month before. The reason for the prior hot penny stocks analogy is to point out that the Japanese economy is and will still be volatile in the near future.

For now a good approach to investing in Japanese ADR’s is to have the foresight and liquidity to stay in. Scaling into positions with the intention of averaging down is something that both large cap and penny stock traders do every day. For instance, if you like Toyota’s stock price and long term prosects may warrant a purchase while the stock is in the low to mid eighties. So why wouldn’t you buy more if it dipped to the high seventies if fundamentals and nuclear situation didn’t change for the worse.

While there is risk in Japan, there is much more liquidity in these names than in many high fliers mentioned on CNBC and much more than most penny stocks. So once again, prepare your list of stocks. There are several other quality Japanese companies aside from those mentioned above. Remember, many of these fallen angels were rising stocks that many institutions wanted to own just a few weeks ago. So now just might be the chance to “buy the dip and sell the rip”. Stocks on the rise are out there every day, you just have to work to find them.

Keep an eye on this adr list of Japanese stocks.

A Penny Stocks List to Keep Handy!


As you have read in our past blog entries, we have repeated mentioning that forming both a large cap and penny stocks list would be beneficial. As we have all realized, diversification and due diligence are key to avoiding mistakes in investing. For instance, just because you research a stock, doesn’t mean you have to buy or short it. Having excess information can only waste time, not money. So here is an example of some of the top and most heavily traded penny stocks formed in a list. Are these names rising stocks ? Or the next hot penny stocks? Nobody knows. However, these are probably some names you should get acquainted with if you are looking for liquid trading and investing opportunities.

1. Horiyoshi Worldwide (HHWW.OB)- Fashion based company

9. Cascadia Investments (CDIV.PK) Internet gaming

10. Coastal Pacific Mining (CPMCF.OB) Mineral mining company
coastal pacific mining corp 2011 Penny Stocks






Please remember that these names are not necessarily long term investments, but all have the potential to become trading stocks. Rising stocks are not always purchased at high or lows. As you probably know, there is no exact science when it comes to investing. For instance, it seemed like nobody could pick the bottom when it came to investing in British Petroleum (BP:NYSE). However, those who were patient and prepared, turned above average profits in a short time period. I think it’s safe to say that some that most BP buyers were prepared and had a well thought out list of stocks.

So do you homework with the symbols provided above. All of these names have either made significant moves recently or trade with large amounts of liquidity. Some may end up being the hot penny stock in your portfolio and others may turn into duds. In either instance, taking a quick look at these names won’t hurt. Knowing multiple stories can only help in the never ending search for rising stocks and massive gains. So commit this penny stock list to your short term memory. Remember, hot penny stock trades don’t happen every minute.
