The DIRECTV Group, Inc. (DTV) reported revenues of $5.47 billion in the third quarter of 2009. On a geographical basis, revenues from United States grew 9% to $4.7 billion due to solid subscriber and average revenue per unit (ARPU) growth. The company added 136,000 net subscribers to its customer base in the United States primarily due to the addition of AT&T (T) as a marketing partner and record demand for company’s premium services. ARPU of $85.32 increased 2.1% as programming package price increases, as well as higher service fees for certain services, were partially offset by more competitive promotions for both new and existing customers. The company’s business in Latin America also demonstrated solid performance, posting a 16% increase in revenues and expanding its customer base to 162,000. This was driven by continued subscriber growth throughout the region, which more than offset the unfavorable impact ...

When you are about to invest in a penny stock, the number one question you need to ask yourself is: What’s the catalyst?

Without some big event or monolithic development coming down the road, there’s no reason for investors to care about these tiny companies.

You see, the majority of investors are only interested in making 5%–10% per year. That’s pretty much the maximum you can expect to gain if you are investing in blue chips. Here at Penny Sleuth, we view the stock market a little differently.

So, what kind of catalysts can make a penny stock pop? Let’s look at a couple big ones:

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman said the United States needs to take aggressive economy-stimulating action or risk facing a lost decade of growth a la Japan in the 1990s. “We’re doing half-measures that help the economy limp along without fully recovering, and we’re having measures that help the banks survive without really thriving,” Krugman told reporters in Beijing, Reuters reported. “We’re doing what the Japanese did in the 90s.” European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet said he and fellow policy makers are ...
