Visteon Corp. (VSTNQ.PK) as all of you already know…. clearly the biggest alert there was Friday. I don’t think I have ever received as many PMs as I did Friday with folks making some serious gains. Congrats guys. This should be in play Monday as well… Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (LEHMQ.PK) pulled right back Friday after the gap but so may also follow suite, I’d be looking for any big drops as potential dip buys for the flip, not to “buy in” I also had a ton of PMs asking me LEHMQ where to buy on Friday, just want to reiterate if you fall in love with these, you’re going to get hurt. They are trading vehicles. We’ll go over tonight in seminar again about the Q’s it’s been quite some time since we discussed.

Taylor Devices Inc. (TAYD) on watch for only one reason, pumpers will be at it on the sympathy of Chile quake. I’m assuming it’ll open $5.75 – 6+ since it’s an excuse for the stock to run… just look at everyone pumping it already

American Petro-hunter Inc. (AAPH.OB) four days in as row, had a nice breakout over $1 took a few off but never really had that much on the swing (otherwise I would have sold on the first dip). Only have 5,000 shares left looking for another push through $1 test. Remember like I said the first day I recco’d possible swing on this one from .75s it trades with a small spread so there’s no reason to chase a breakout, big breakouts are usually good to sell into because chances are it will settle back a bit and consolidate before pushing higher. Just look at Friday’s breakout to $1.05 … anything that’s in inch mode into breakout as we cover each seminar is a great sale … then let it regroup and bid/ask tighten watch for entry again (bit lower).

Wave Systems Corp. (WAVX) well … we nailed the breakout but my patience didn’t last up I had originally bought $3.06 I believe it dipped to $2.90s … and ended up selling later that day at 3.10-3.15 range (if I remember correctly) … well didn’t look back after my sale… woops. I know there was 2 folks swinging it in chat , way to go on that one. This may speed up towards $4 and since its riding off support more and more I will soon be looking for the short side (after a big push) … this is still a potential buy for breakout through $4

Smart-Tek Solutions Inc. (STTN.OB) alerted in chat Friday, saw Reaper long as well … good to see him profitable (or near it) on the gapping strategy dispite the WellTek Incorporated (WTKN.OB) disaster a while back for both of us. That wasn’t fun but fortunately trading times were good and could shrug it off when it dropped over night.  This one used to be STTK which some of you may remember from a while back. I like this because its near a .50/1.00 etc etc break that we discuss. Nearing that .50 break many people may be interested in buying it for the .50 break, makes me feel better about my entry lower than it.. nice chart pattern sneaking for the past month much like my comments on Tradeshow Marketing Company, Ltd. (TSHO.PK) a while back I doubt they’ve “built” this pattern for 1 day so it may have some legs.

Bryn Resources, Inc. (BRYN.PK) ya… another successful PSC pump off the tweets – not everything they say is a buy… no at all… but a quick chart scan review where your risk are at… upside potential (knowing it was a former runner) can really start putting a calculated risk in front of you… surely I wish I bought more but o well… I was happy with $1300 bucks at risk with a possible double in front of me.. worst case it loses .10 area … lose $300 … $1k vs -300 .. good risk vs. reward imo. So again, another nice PSC tweet even though I still think the buys on HSCO is a bit shady.

GLOBAL HEALTH VENTUR (GHLV.OB)  remember this one few months back? was a nice promotion… usually (not always) there are re-pumps and you can “trust” a secondary pump as a possible swing much like we saw with NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. (NXTH.OB) currently in Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. (MSEH.OB) for and currently what we are watching Clear-Lite Holdings, Inc. (CLRH.OB) for.

Mesa Energy Holdings, Inc. (MSEH.OB) was an incher before… and yet again it’s heading off again. Had a gap on Friday which leads me to believe mailers are underway or near it.. just has that feel

IceWEB Inc. (IWEB.OB) possible gapper, looking for profits through .14 that’s about it … great alert in chat

Virtualhealth Technologies, Inc. (VHGI.OB) been slow but has held that .19 level I mentioned that I’d keep for a swing. This needs to break .25 Monday and it may start to pick up speed a bit volume is there and it almost broke out Friday. If it doesn’t think about taking profits on this one but it had a nice run back in August and December so knows how to pop

Clean Coal Technologies, Inc. (CCTC.PK) again just have been having good luck with this one off lows… we had a higher open Monday good for profits from our low picks on Thursday… then more lows Friday followed by reversal. Some PMs Friday asking, should I buy, should I add etc. Guys this is just a trade… I don’t invest in this junk. Don’t trade these on dips if you are not ok with taking profits on the reversals. Any pops I take profits.. until it doesn’t work or I start taking a loss I will keep buying the weakness and selling into any strength.

Accentia Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (ABPIQ.PK) watching breakout through .55 possible long/swing

Banks.com, Inc (BNX) no volume but IF it gets it… possible mover

Clearfield, Inc. (CLFD) no volume but if it gets it near $3 test.. .may move…

GREEN OASIS ENVRNMNT (GRNO.PK) big alert Friday I missed the initial move when it was alerted at open… wooops … bought bought it late day Friday for .20 test on the gap? Then profits

Cereplast Inc. (CERP.OB) bought Thursday for gapper, so far so good will give it a chance, decent avg

Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (RJET) on watch, has range should be tradeable between $6-6.50+ if it rips I will watch for short side

Mesa Air Group Inc. (MESAQ.PK) nice alert by Fugu? I think.. I will have to check back but .06 break bought.. We’d been waiting on this one for a long while, in addition to that it ended in a Q… so it was going to have more interest than normal anyway due to the recent moves in Q’s – nice pop towards .08+ to lock in a bunch of profits maybe some continuation Monday but after that… no thanks – take the easier money and then run… less head aches

As evidenced by the wind energy sector and airline industry sector scans, when market sectors start moving, it is always convenient to have a scan readily available.  You can easily scan for potential (sympathy) plays by viewing the post below.

While Hurricane Gustav took hold of the Gulf Coast this weekend, there was plenty of ominous speculation on the affects the market would see on oil prices come Tuesday morning.  In fact, Gustav’s Labor Day weekend timing acted, in what many might consider, as a buffer for what could have been a potentially violent and volatile market.
While, the weakening storm is a welcome reprieve to residents of the Gulf Coast States, it is also a source of relief for the stock market but what about the sympathy plays such as TAYD?

Hurricane Gustav made an earlier-than-expected landfall just South of New Orleans this morning, but the city appears to have dodged a major catastrophe thanks to the storm’s diminished strength. Louisiana isn’t out of the woods yet, obviously, and we’ll continue to keep an eye on Gustav throughout the day, but initial reports are that it doesn’t appear the beleaguered city is in store for another Katrina-sized disaster (source: ftsnews.com)

During August and September, (considered by many to be the slowest time of year) being a trader can carry a higher risk-reward ratio than usual.  That being said, it always helps to have an edge.  This is a list… and although I’m not a fan of most of these stocks, (especially the OTCBB’s that take advantage of this time of year for a liquidation-fest) with products or services that stand to fill a need in a time of crisis such as a hurricane, they are worth having on your radar as the storm situation develops.

Of course, as with all stocks you still need a reason to invest, a reason to hold on, and in this case the sector may need just that, a “forward looking event.” Fortunately for the sector, it’s just received an “upgrade” much like JP Morgan or Goldman Sachs upgrading a AAPL or GOOG, Tropical Storm Hannah is just beginning to spool up and was upgraded to a Hurricane.

Listed below courtesy of an InvestorsHub board (with the addition of TAYD) is a list of all potential hurricane plays for this week and the remainder of the hurricane season. TAYD was a company I covered here as a stock of interest and it rose Friday another 12%. This stock is extremely low float and can move in both directions rather quickly.
