EEE - The Chinese Connection

Hopefully EEE's new CEO is back from China safely.  What news is he bringing back? Seems I have been down this hopeful road many times with EEE and each time it's a dead end.  Won't be surprised to travel this path one more time!

Evergreen Energy

I know its stupid to bash a stock that I still own, but I must say that I am totally disgusted with Evergreen Energy.  This is a company that continuously over promises and never delivers.  In their latest conference call the company sounded very optimistic about their future but as the stock price demonstrates since then the shares have nosedived.  At this point I predict the company will never build a K-fuel plant.  Also, the hope offered by C-lock is now bogus since cap and trade will likely not be passed in the foreseeable future.  This stock will go down as the worst investment I ever made.  Meanwhile the management of the company continues to take hefty salaries while shareholders have been left holding the bag. 

Biospecifics Tech (BSTC)

The trending on BSTC

Biospecifics Tech (BSTC)

I have known of Biospecifics for many years.  The company has had its ups and downs but it is finally poised to hit the big time and is a small stock success story.  Tomorrow the company will be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, after a time on the bulletin board.  The management has been tenacious in achieving a solid position for BSTC through royalty payments relative to drugs developed by Bio.  I own the stock and look forward to the increased visibility the stock will now get being on NASDAQ. 

Coal Stocks

One of the best performing industry groups in recent days has been coal stocks.  This is very encouraging given the role that coal will continue to play in the nation’s energy picture.  Coal is vital to the generation of electricity.  However, the extreme environmentalists hate coal believing it dirty and polluting. That’s why cleaning up coal for cleaner burning is a great idea and the reason I have invested in Evergreen Energy. This company has developed a process that makes coal more environmentally friendly. The company has a long history of promising results and not delivering, but a new management team seems to be aggressively pursuing contracts and Evergreen has fostered a couple of key business associations.  Readers may want to take a look at this risky bu potential high-reward stock.
