Micros on the
Move: What's Hot & Not In The World of Micro Caps?
Remember
Broadcast
International (OTCBB: BCST)? We first mentioned it back on November
8th when we saw a huge move on high volume. Shares were trading at
$3.00 at the time, and looked like they were trying to repeat a major rally
like the one that got them up from under $1.00 just a few weeks prior.
 Sure
enough, the stock took off. BCST hit $4.40 by November
20th, and we recommended locking in the 46% gain for anybody who
acted on the idea. Good thing we did too - Broadcast International
peaked at $4.65 on November 29th, and fell all the way back to a low of
$2.30 an early April....where the cycle started all over again.
The stock hit $4.87 in late April
As we mentioned
in January, this stock has the knack for staying on our radar as a
good 'trading' stock. What got our attention within the last few days was
support seen at the 200 day moving average line.
What's that
got to do with anything? The 200 day moving average line was also pretty
much where the early April reversal took place. The nearby chart tells
the tale.
We don't know
if it will play out again as it did then. Maybe it won't. We just
wanted to pass the notice along to you so you could make your own decision
about the stock's merits at the moment. We will say this however....the
company has continued to advance their technology - as well as the number
of partnerships - between now and the last time we looked at them.

UDS
Group Unveils the New East Coast Market |
|
|
The announcement
should come as no surprise to anyone. The only surprise should be the location,
which up until now had been confidential. The announcement is....Universal
Delivery Solutions Group's (UDSG.PK) newest SUBWAY Restaurants
delivery market is Boston, Massachusetts.
Since we've
described this arrangement in great detail a couple of times already in
recent weeks, we'll be brief today.
 Rather
than a local phone number each restaurant manager would have to promote
and service themselves if they wanted to take delivery orders, SUBWAY Restaurants
have opted to use one nationwide phone number. It's easy for customers
to remember the number, so they won't have to look it up wherever they
go. The individual restaurants also like the one-number system,
since they don't have to actually man the phones and take the orders themselves;
all they have to do is make the delivery. UDS Group answers the phone number,
in addition to providing the logistics of the process (like ordering,
and mapping the driver's optimal route).
SUBWAY is already
using the UDS system in Manhattan, and we already know they're looking
to do the same in some West Coast locations. Today we finally learned
where the second 'live' market has been established.
The message
to be gleaned from all the recent news is relatively clear - SUBWAY
seems to be happy with the way the relationship is working out. Why
else would they continue to expand the utilization of Universal Delivery
Solutions?
Here's the compelling
part though ....Manhattan, Boston, and whatever West Coast locations are
on the way are big markets, but still only a fraction of the potential
market. There are more than 29,000 SUBWAY restaurants worldwide.
That's still
not the really compelling part, however. What are the odds other
restaurants are going to see SUBWAY's new customer-friendly offer and are
not
going to want to mimic it? Just so you know, there are just under a billion
restaurants in the United States. That's a lot of opportunity for UDS Group.
Though oil prices,
the dollar, and real estate woes may continue to dominate the media's coverage,
it's not like micro caps have been put on the shelf. Here are some bulletin
board stocks with major movement and news you may have missed.
 Welwind
Energy International (OTCBB: WWEI) shares jumped from 6 cents in
early June to their current price of 16 cents. The reason? It all
started on June 10th when they received final approval from the Chinese
government to establish the Zhanjiang wind farm.
Since then,
we've seen a long train of good news, including today's announcement that
they've added over 4000 acres worth of wind farm area in British Columbia.
In light of
this news and stock's movement, and the recent adoption of wind energy
as one of our ongoing focal points, we'll be adding Welwind to our
watchlist.
 Not
all big movement is necessarily bullish movement. Take
Cyberlux (OTCBB: CYBL) for instance. We've seen volume grow considerably
over the last few weeks. The problem is, it's mostly selling. The
stock has fallen from February's high of 3 cents to the current price of
1 cent, and more of the same appears to be on the way.
It's certainly
got to be a little frustrating for the company. Their Tactical 'BrightEye'
LED lighting system has been in demand from several military branches.
On the other
hand, it's probably been even more frustrating to investors; the company
swung back to a loss last quarter...familiar territory for shareholders.
 We've
said it before and we'll say it again ...water is possibly going to be
the next oil. There's less and less of it, yet the demand is increasing.
That may be why Bioshaft
Water Technology (OTCBB: BSHF) has been pushed into the limelight.
That may also
be why the stock flew from $1.21 in March to a peak of $3.26 in May. Of
course, the ride back down to June's low of $1.51 wasn't much fun.
So what gives?
The
same thing we all-too-frequently see....a mad rush on a little good
news (buying of a stock without even really understanding the company),
then an equally mad rush to take profits at the first sign of trouble.
The good news
is, the initial volatility seems to be dissipating. Now we're left with
serious investors rather than hype-chasers. And more importantly, we've
seen BSHF gently move upward since hitting June's low; it's now trading
at $2.13.
The company
designs and builds wastewater treatment plants. They're a relative newcomer,
but have managed to get some attention in their short life span. Baghdad
and Dubai will be using their technology soon to upgrade their existing
infrastructure.
A few more of
those deals could solidify Bioshaft's place in the industry. Therefore,
BSHF is going on our clean water watchlist.
