You know by now we’re always on the lookout for the next great bulletin board stock pick. That’s why we constantly scour the world of micro caps for names that are on the move. Though the chart and momentum aren’t everything, they’re an important piece of the puzzle. That’s why the stocks below got our attention….something is going on with ‘em, becuase the charts and/or volume have perked up in the last few days.

You’ll still need to do some fundamental due diligence, but we think these picks are a great place to start your search.

Skinny Nutritional (SKNY) - From 3 cents in March to 48 cents in May? Wow. The chart slid back to a low of 17 cents last month, but the move back up to 38 cents hints that the next batch of buyers is piling in.

Pure Biofuels (PBOF) - This chart looks a lot like Skinny’s….strong Q2 move, then a pullback, and now a recovery effort. Don’t get too excited yet though - we’ve seen multiple head-fakes from PBOF.

Microfield Group (MICG) - The big pullback during Q1 has set up an interesting opportunity for the rest of the year. This one looks particularly compelling because the chart made a slow, controlled turn into a bullish mode….without a lot of volatility, but with healthy volume. That’s common when the company is actually doing something specific to justify the price, so you’ll really want to dig in deep here to find out what’s going on.

Copytele Inc. (COPY) - The chart looks suspicious. There’s clear horizontal support at 66 cents, but falling resistance that extends back to November. It seems more like a ‘trade’ then anything else, and a risky one at that - the recent move appears unsustainable.

Ubid.com (UBHI) - This is the first time Micro Cap Pressers have seen this name and ticker. We pointed it out about a month ago for the same reason….the stock was on the move. Following our coverage UBHI did indeed rally. It cooled off a few days later, but once again is drawing some interest. Considering this is the second time we’ve seen UBHI pop up, maybe we should take it at face value.
