President-elect Obama Pushes Economic Plan

QualityStocks (January 5th, 2009) Writes:

Today, President-elect Barack Obama began a campaign to win Capitol Hill’s approval for $300 billion in tax cuts and another $500 billion, or more, in spending. Until today, it has been up to press conferences and radio addresses by Obama and congressional Democratic leaders to make the sales pitch, but now the President-elect is fully engaging in the pitch, with a plan to do a series of high-profile events later this month to sell the public on the plan.

Obama adviser David Axelrod and other aides have stated in the past that the money would be spent on infrastructure, energy projects and tax cuts. Obama hopes to create or save 3 million jobs over two years. “The reason we are here today is because the people can’t wait. We have an extraordinary economic challenge ahead of us,” stated Obama.

OriginOil Inc. (OOIL.OB) Takes Large Step Forward in Algae-oil Biofuel Commercialization Process

QualityStocks (January 5th, 2009) Writes:

The focus on green energy found a rather large boost in 2008 as petroleum prices surged and a “green” president was elected. The overall reality of the green investment, however, is that it is still an infant trying to solve issues and meet production and cost requirements. Solar is quickly catching up to electrical plant production on cost/watt, as is wind. Bio-fuels are also making huge leaps against petroleum depending on the day. But until cost and quantity can match fossil fuels now and in the future, they will always remain in the development stage. Those green companies that can meet production and cost demands, however, will become the investments to be involved with. They may not be there yet, but they are the ones to watch if an investor can find them.

OriginOil Inc., a development stage biofuel conversion equipment company, works to develop equipment for the conversion of algae

HST Global, Inc. (HSTC.OB) is Making Great Progress with Treatment of Stage IV Breast Cancer

QualityStocks (January 5th, 2009) Writes:

In 2008, HST Global, Inc. announced that it has met 72% efficacy in pre-clinical treatment of Stage IV cancer in a test of 250 patients. In the press release announcing results, Ronald Howell, President & CEO of HST Global, Inc., stated, “We are encouraged by these results and are looking forward to subjecting the study to more rigorous tests to support eventual commercialization.”

The company has obtained the rights to a pre-clinical outcome-based study using the pre-clinical drug trade named “Salicinium”. This natural substance derived from plants is both an oral and a parenteral active inhibitor of certain fermenting enzyme dynamics in the cancer cells. Clinical studies show that Salicinium alters malignant cell fermentation dynamics, blocks cell division (mitosis), and causes fermenting cancer cells to lose their ability to endure innate immune reactions.

Sector 10, Inc. (SECT.OB) Is More than Prepared to Face Anticipated Biological Attack

QualityStocks (January 5th, 2009) Writes:

Last month, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction remains “the highest priority at the federal level.” Mr. Chertoff believes that more people, such as terrorists, will learn how to make dirty bombs, and biological and chemical weapons. “The other side is going to continue to learn more about doing things,” he stated.

Intelligence officials predict that in the next five years, terrorists will attempt to carry out a destructive biological attack. Officials are concerned about the possibility of infections to thousands of U.S. citizens. “The threat of terrorism and the threat of extremist ideologies has not abated,” Chertoff said in his year-end address. “This threat has not evaporated, and we can’t turn the page on it.”

Sector 10 offers deployed integrated emergency response systems as a way to save lives, avert injuries and reduce liability in the

A-Power (Nasdaq:APWR) Revises Downward - Street Reacts to Continued Lack of Communication Skills

Small Cap Pulse (December 30th, 2008) Writes:
December 30, 2008 ndash; A-Power (Nasdaq:APWR) one of the stocks that we think has the most potential for growth in 2009, is getting beaten up this morning after management revised guidance for the Q4 downward ndash; with revenue now estimated to come in at about $76 million, down from previous guidance of $158 million, and net income estimated at about $5 million from the previous guidance of $15.5 million. Management cited tough economic conditions which pushed contracts out into the next quarter which it had expected to close in the first quarter as the reason. Well, the stock is dipping below $4 at this point, which even at $4, represents a 0.52x multiple of adjusted sales estimates for this year, and 5.7x adjusted income, and Y/Y revenue growth remains respectable at 55%, while Y/Y income growth is now expected to be 53%, still respectable.
