The Junk Mail Stock Watch
The list of the current prices of the stocks appears at the bottom of the page.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE:
It has now been over 3 months since I got my last piece of stock junk-mail. Perhaps the stock-market crunch has put a damper on the activities of the pump-&-dumpers. For whatever reason, I am looking forward to the day when I can clear all of these stocks off the list, and there won't have to be a Junk Mail Stock Watch anymore.

Whatever it took for it to happen, it was about time.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For information on "pump and dump" schemes, you can read these interesting web pages:

NOTE: Amish Naturals (AMNT.OB) has been moved to "The Junk Mail Graveyard".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been getting some interesting mail in the past couple of years. They have been advertisements for stocks. They call themselves "reports"sometimes, but as the fine print on the "reports" says, they are indeed advertisements. Let me give you some of the fine print in the "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" I got which extolls the virtues of Yellowcake Mining stocks:

This stock profile should be viewed as a paid advertisement. In order to enhance public awareness of Yellowcake Mining and its securities through the distribution of this report, Nu Energy Worldwide Investments, Inc. paid the publisher, Nat-Con Publishing, Inc. the sum of $450,000. Nat-Con Publishing applied these funds towards costs associated with creating, printing, and distributing this report and will retain any excess funds as profit.

Which I've gotta say is dang good work if you can get it. The highest amount that I've seen in the fine print of the advertising mail I've seen so far is $1,940,000 paid to "Eminiar VII", responsible for the "Growth Stock Guru" publication advertising Guangzhou Global Telecom stocks. How can I become a stock "reporter" so I can get this kind of dough?!

The disclaimers are required by law to warn about "forward-looking statements".You may see this sort of disclaimer at the ends of some of the PR "news" linked under the stock information in the Yahoo pages about the stocks. From the ILVL ad I have:

The information contained herein contains forward-looking information within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is within meaning of the "safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements of regarding expected continual growth of the featured company. Any forward-looking statements which contain terms such as "expect", "believe", "anticipate", "suggest", "plan", "indicate", and similar terms of uncertainty, are based on management's current expectations and beliefs, and are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements...

But oh, how "forward-looking" those statements get to be! I will quote some of the more interesting things from the ads I have for each stock here, so we can compare them to how the stocks are actually doing.

I am using the Yahoo Finance feature that one can use to list stock quotes on their website, to list the stocks I've gotten advertisements for. You can click on the stock name to see links to more detailed news - sometimes PR - about the stock. I'll keep the stocks on my list for a year.

As much as I think that this business of stock advertising is rather dubious, one positive aspect of all this is that maybe one of these stocks might do okay. It's like watching a boxing match and hoping the underdog wins. Maybe one of these underdogs has a chance. It'll be interesting indeed to see how they do.

Fox Petroleum, Inc. (FXPE.OB)
The ticker symbol has been changed to FXPT.OB

Scott Fraser's "Natural Contrarian" of 3rd week, Sept. 2007, received on Sept. 18, advertised Fox Petroleum. Now, like Sun Cal before it, it's this one that's on its way to $55.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Now, Fox Petroleum (FXPE) will be my Biggest Winner Yet!"

"Expect +10,000% profits if you hold FXPE at least 6 months"

"Fox Petroleum (FXPE): Profit Projection #1
160 million barrels of potential reserves X $70 per barrel of oil
= 11.2 Billion ¸ shares outstanding
=$55 per FXPE share"

"Alaska's North Slope is America's largest and most important oil resource and Fox Petroleum (FXPE) is set to become a major player - overnight!"

[After mentioning another stake Fox Petroleum has in Europe's North Sea:]
"Fox Petroleum (FXPE): Profit Projection #2
33% stake in potential recoverable reserves of up to 234 million barrels X $70 per barrel of oil
= an additional $5.4 Billion ¸ shares outstanding
=$80 per FXPE share!"

"Plan on taking partial profits in weeks as FXPE makes its initial projected price-spike above $10 per share. Then, early results from the company's North Slope operations should push FXPE well above the $55 per share level."

Here he goes again. On December 19, I received another "Natural Contrarian" - 3rd week, Dec. 2007 - plugging Fox Petroleum. He again doesn't fail to give us a doozy or two.

"I just said 'BUY FXPE' - Then the share price TRIPLED! Now, I say 'Fox Petroleum can make a 10,000% profit-run'". By "just said", I suppose he's referring to the September mailing - excuse me if I'm mistaken. The stock closed at $2.50 the day I got that one. The highest it ever got since then was $3.56 on Sept. 24 - a 42.4% gain, not triple, and of course not that 10,000% gain we're still waiting for.

He's still projecting a 10,000% gain. He doesn't say when, and now acknowledges "long-term".

UPDATE: In Scott Fraser's 2nd-week-of-June "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received Fri., 6/6/08, he now puts Fox Petroleum as a "sell".
"Near-term dilution in shareholder value likely following company decision to implement 1-for-5 reverse stock split."
Fox Petroleum is doing this in an attempt to meet standards to get a listing on AMEX. Which should go to show people the things that happen before an OTC stock can be, to quote the Guangzhou hype, "bumped up to a larger exchange".

Petrosouth Energy CP (PSEG.OB)
The company is now West Canyon Energy Corp. (WCYO.OB)
NOTE: The ticker symbol has now been changed to WCYN.OB

This was the pick for the "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" for the 2nd week of Nov., 2007. I received this on Nov. 6. This was also advertised in the 4th week of Nov. issue, received Nov. 21. That was pretty much a repeat of the Nov. 6 newsletter, which I quote from here.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the envelope of the Nov. 6 mailing:)
"Your NEXT $Million is Inside"

(From the letter that came with the Nov. 6 issue:)
"I continue to prove over and over again: 'When I tell you to buy a stock - YOU make a lot of money!'

You no doubt receive several stock recommendations a week with wild claims of potential profits. But, as you will see in the opening of the enclosed report, my winning track record uniquely qualifies me to make this call-to-profits:

Petro-South Energy (PSEG) is about to make a major upward share-price move"

[He has yet another parade of stocks to expose:]
"7 June 2007: I said buy Fox Petroleum at $1.08 - it then went to $3.56 [I didn't get anything from him about Fox Petroleum until Sept. 18. That day, the stock was up to $2.53. His "Natural Contrarian" I got that day said "Plan on taking partial profits in weeks as FXPE makes its initial projected price-spike above $10 per share. Then, early results from the company's North Slope operations should push FXPE well above the $55 per share level.". The stock did go up to $3.56 on Sept. 24, then closed that day at $3.37 and was never that high again.]
12 April 2007: I said buy Sun Cal Energy at $1.80 - it then went to $4.31 [It reached a peak of $4.31 on June 1, closed that day less than $4 and was never that high again. This was also the day I got his "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" for Sun Cal, which said it was "on its way to $55". I got another ES-MA advertising Sun Cal on June 11, when it closed at $3.19, and another one on July 31, when it closed at $3.01. It was still "on its way to $55".]
2 February 2007: I said buy Yellowcake Mining at $1.90 - it then went to $3.65 [I got his "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" of the 1st week of May, 2007, plugging Yellowcake, on May 1. That day it was up to $3.14. In it, he said "Expect an initial YCKM price-spike from below $3.75 to above $10 in just weeks!" We're still waiting.]
22 January 2007: I said buy Strategic Resources at $0.48 - it then went to $1.15 [All I know is, When the Junk Mail Stock Watch started on June 15, it was .76. On August 29, his ES-MA said "If you buy SGCR now below $1 - You'll be in before the next jump above $3", and we're still waiting for that.]
15 Novenber 2006: I said buy AMNT at $1.30 - it then went to $3.89" [On Feb. 8, 2007, it peaked at $3.89, closed at $3.50, and you know what's coming next... was never that high again. In September (in his Natural Contrarian), and again in October (in his ES-MA) he repeated, "NOW - Amish Naturals has inked 3 major distribution deals within the last 120 days that I project will spark its second share-price upswing within the next 30 days", which he said both times would be above $10. And you know what's coming next... We're still waiting.]

(Now, finally, to his newsletter.)

"Buy Petro-South Energy (PSEG) while it's still under $2.50 per share because the company just beat Exxon to the heart of one of the richest undiscovered oil fields in the world: South America's Mega-Oil Shelf.

Occidental Petroleum and the U.S. government could lead Exxon to pay up to $40 per share to acquire Petro-South's potential world-record Colombian oil reserves. You have this valuable information now -

so act quickly on PSEG while it's still under $2.50."

"Petro-South Energy (PSEG) is my #1 Energy-Stock operating in South America and my next pick that can make you rich - AGAIN!'

Turn the page to see the 'simple equation' that shows just how much money YOU can make on your PSEG shares." [At this point, I thought "It's not what I think it is, is it?" I turn the page, and lo-and-behold...]

"Q: How can Petro-South Energy (PSEG) be about to move from below $2.50 to over $40?
A: Because Petro-South holds up to $41 Million barrels of oil at its Talora Block and up to 2 Million barrels of oil at its Buenavista Block:

Total potential of $3.44 Billion at $80 oil ÷ PSEG shares outstanding =
$45 per PSEG share"

"I'm projecting an initial price-move above $40 per PSEG share on news of the first 'drill-hit'."

"the nearby blockbuster Guando Field holds recoverable reserves in excess of 115 Million barrels with current output of around 33,000 barrels of oil per day. Petro-South's Talora Block could be a MUCH larger discovery!"

"I project Exxon must quickly expand in Colombia to stay competitive:
Buy-Out Target ðPSEG"

"You can bet that that Venezuela will soon be fired and that Colombia will be hired as America's new Latin American oil-source." [Here he goes, firing and hiring geographical areas again. California was supposed to be "hired" because of Sun Cal. We're still waiting.]

"It's no coincidence that Occidental Petroleum's pipelines steer close by Petro-South properties AND the U.S. economy is coming to buy up all the new Colombian oil

... so you had better buy PSEG up to $2.50 quickly!"

"A buy-out of Petro-South Energy (PSEG) would enable Exxon to obtain the 2 hottest properties in the new Colombian Super-Field with combines resource potential of over 220 million barrels. I am projecting a PSEG buy-out above $40 per share -- YOU should be buying PSEG now up to $2.50 per share."

"Buy PSEG now below $2.50 per share -- hesitate, even briefly [ripping off his pal, Mr. Fagan], and you'll likely pay above $5!"

"Petro-South is in position to give early PSEG shareholders a near-instant stock price increase from below $2.50 to over $40" [Now, the term "near-term" is something I've seen before, but "near-instant"?!? ]

Lexington Energy Services, Inc. (LXES.OB)
On July 24, the symbol changed from LXES.OB to LXESE.OB. On Aug. 22, the symbol changed back to LXES.OB

Now I come to this big pamphlet called "Gold and Energy Advisor", Fall 2007 edition, received on Nov. 6. This thing is so lengthy I'm not gonna bother combing through it all. I'll just put the advertised stock of the issue here and, just, let's see how it goes.

Fortified Holdings Corp. (FFDH.OB)

I got this one on Nov. 14. This newsletter is simply titled "Special Investment Alert from Eric Dickson", printed in small letters on top of the 1st page, so as to save as much space as possible for plugging the stock, I guess.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the letter that came with it:)
" 'One reason I'm predicting that this undiscovered 75 cent stock can easily hit $20.83 within six months or less is because of these 3 little-known words...'
'Stock Trading Volume!' "

"When investors started to notice Comtech, its volume grew and grew from 88,000 shares a day to often over 500,000 shares a day. And in early August of 2007, its volume hit a whopping 1.57 MILLION shares on a single day. But by then, early investors had turned $10,000 into $201,550 because the stock had gone from $2.58 to $52

FORTIFIED's Volume Is Still Small-FOR NOW!"

[Please tell me this guy isn't equating stock volume with stock price rises. After the depression happened mainly as a result of a then-record-volume day. No, he isn't, right? Oh, and Comtech was never up to $52 on or before Aug. 2007. It broke the $52 barrier on Sept. 20.]

(Now to the newsletter:)
"Sales are estimated to soar from $8 million this year to $60 million within a year with their planned acquisitions.

Management is predicting a potential market cap of $1 billion dollars within 36 months, that could raise the stock price from 75 cents to $20.83 - up 27 times." [But in the note that came with this newsletter, he said 6 months or less. He doesn't say that in the newsletter.]

He keeps saying that Fortified is using the "GE business model". He drops names like Armor Holdings, and of course Comtech, to compare it to.

"If another Katrina-level hurricane struck, the Red Cross is now better able to respond because Fortified has already supplied them with their outstanding NOMAD Incident and Emergency Communications unit."

ICP Solar Technologies, Inc. (ICPR.OB)

On December 11, I received a newsletter which had the same form as the Eric Dickson advertisement for Fortified Holdings, had the same permit #3602 "postmark" of Berwyn, Illinois, and (at least in the case of the letter that came with this one) preached the same gospel: The reason these stock prices are so low right now is because the stock volume is low, meaning few people know about it. As the note that came with this newsletter, which has the title of "Michael Williams Market Movers", puts it: "The lower the trading volume, the lower the profile, meaning fewer people know about it. The reverse is also true. The higher the trading volume, the higher the profile." The stock market sure-as-heck had a "high profile" on October 29, 1929. A then-record of over 16 million shares were traded, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was over 300 a month before, went down to less than 200 (a significant "crash" for the time). The difference was that nearly all the volume was "selling" volume, not "buying" volume. Anyway, end of history lesson. Now to this thing.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the letter that came with the newsletter:)
"MY SECRET: the volume is always LOWEST when the price is LOWEST. In other words, the stock is low in price because few people know about it. That's the time to buy!"

(Now to the newsletter)
"At $3 a share, ICP Solar Technologies is the Apple, Inc. of solar stocks."

"Apple's strategy that sold 100 million iPods can turn this little-known solar powerhouse from a $3 a share stock into a $34.50 stock within six months."

Eric Dickson had the "GE business model", Michael Willians has the "iPod strategy".

"The iPod is responsible for their current stunning success for everything they now touch, including the recent blockbuster iPhone..." [HOOOOOOboy!]

BlooperTime: Talking about the I-Pod: "[Steve Jobs] didn't invent the idea of listening to music this way. Sony did that 19 years ago with the Walkman." The Walkman came along in 1981. Make that 26 years ago.

"There's No Big Secret to Making An Extraordinary Amount of Money In a Low-Priced Stock Like ICP Solar Technologies. Still, Most People Will Miss Out!" [There goes the "high profile" story he told in the letter that came with the newsletter. He doesn't mention any of that in the newsletter.]

Solar Night Industries, Inc. (SLND.PK)

I received the "Intellegent Investor Report"'s "Special Situations Report" of Fall, 2007 on December 18. This actually has the price of "U.S. $8.95/CAN $11.95" printed at the top. Gosh, I hope they don't bill me. Another solar stock-tout.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Within the next couple of years, on some bright sunny day, you're going to pick up your morning copy of the Wall Street Journal.
And when you open it, you'll see this headline:
'Cheap Energy from the Sun Ends U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil'"

"But for you as an investor, that headline could either be bad news or good news. Which will it be?
Well, should you choose to ignore my recommendation to take a position in the solar energy start-up company I'm recommending today - Solar Night Industries (symbol: SLND) - it will be bad news.
That's because, by the time mainstream financial publications like the Wall Street Journal get hold of the Solar Night story, ground-floor investors will have already creamed the lion's share of the gains... and you will have missed out on all that profit.
On the other hand, say you take my advice... and own Solar Night Industries now.
Today, the stock is still flying largely under Wall Street's radar.
When the news of Solar Night's revolutionary approach to solar power distribution finally makes the front page of the Journal, the sky's the limit as far as the stock price is concerned.
Five dollars a share? Seems a reasonable price to own what is poised to become the #1 solar energy distribution company in the United States. But act swiftly, and you can load up on all the shares you want for around a buck a piece.
Ten dollars a share? That would give us a ten-bagger on Solar Night... and a 900% gain on your investment."

"A gain of 900% or more is not out of the question!
Act swiftly, and you can own a nice block of the shares today for pennies on the dollar of what they could be worth in a year or two from now."

We are introduced to a fancy term for what we already know as solar power: "photovoltaic technology".

With the Anheuser-Busch logo printed on page 4, there's a headline that says: "Anheuser-Busch heir taps the power of solar". Under that is a story about how Adolphus Busch, IV has solar power in his house and other properties. Nothing about the Anheuser-Busch company, and nothing about Solar Night.

[After mentioning the Solar Night Solar Synapse Wire Kit:] "...the phrase 'Synapse inside' may become to solar power what 'Intel inside' is to PCs"

"With the largest solar installer network in North America, Solar Night will rapidly rise to a position of dominance in the solar energy market. The company will own a virtual monopoly on the solar distribution channel."

First it says "Shortage of solar installers to nearly triple by 2010", then it says "SLND has solutions to this problem". Will this problem be fixed before or after the "year or two" that the stock price is supposed to have that big rise?

"One other factor may send Solar Night's share price higher, faster: acquisition by a larger, more established energy company." [There goes that "virtual monopoly".]

UPDATE: On June 27, 2008, Solar Night Industries issued a press release announcing its assets have been foreclosed, and its CEO has resigned.

Century Petroleum Corp. (CYPE.OB)
NOTE: On Aug. 18, 2008, the ticker symbol was changed to CYPEE.OB
Let's hope CYPOOP.OB isn't next - >OUCH!<
UPDATE: On Aug. 19, 2008, they had the good sense to get out of that one, and change it back to CYPE.OB

I really thought I was through with these things. I didn't get any stock junk-mail this year until Friday, February 8, when I got this. Scott Fraser's "Contrarian Stock-Market Guide" for the 1st week of Feb., 2008.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Century Petroleum is YOUR Next Big-Money Stock - Buy CYPE now up to $1 BEFORE it heads above $20"

"I am a profit-stock picking legend."

"It's simple: I issue the buy-signal, you buy your shares, then we watch the stock price go ballistic and you decide what to do with the profits. This year, my long line of profit-stocks continues."

"When I first tell you to buy a stock - YOU make a lot of money"

"It's simple: Buy CYPE Now below $1 & Get Ready for Profits!
My First Call-to-Profits:
I Project Anadarko to buy-out CYPE
Buy your shares in Century Petroleum & You'll be First in line when I'm right"

"I am urging you to buy CYPE now below $1 - those who hesitate, even briefly, could pay well above $5"

Purple Beverage Co., Inc. (PPBV.OB)

During my respite from working on the website, I got one "Natural Contrarian" newsletter, for the 2nd week of Mar. 2008, on March 6. (The stock closed at $2.56 that day, and the highest it's got since then was $3.37 on Mar. 12.) I'm sorry that I didn't get around to putting it on here until now, but I spent some time getting some things together personally. Now, I'm ready to go back to work.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the envelope:) "Inside: My Quickest +1,000% Gainer Ever"

(Now for the newsletter:) [It's time to turn up that "gall meter"]
"Here's Proof that I Can Make You Rich on Purple (PPBV)
I'm the BEST at identifying High-Profit Drink Stocks:
Hansen's (HANS): Over 20,000% Profits!
Snapple: Bought-Out quickly for $1.45 BILLIOB
Dr. Pepper/Seven Up: A $1.7 Billion Acquisition"
[Yeah, he gave us success stories of 3 companies, but what do they have to do with him being "the best at identifying" anything?]

"Buy PPBV up to $2.90 - or hesitate and pay well over $15"

"Purple is the next Pepsi"

"The investing herd won't know about Purple until their brokers recommend it above $10!" [Just about all "the investing herd" ever gets is junk mail such as this, and junk E-mail.]

"Before you turn the page, I want you to understand that that my lofty projections on PPBV's huge upward price-move are set to happen in the very near-term." [Catch this: His "lofty projections" are happening right now.]

"Purple's release of its initial sales report should no doubt declare this new company to be the next dominant name-brand in beverages."

[And I've seen this quite a bit lately:] "Purple can be bought out by an industry titan."

"If you wait for these numbers to be released, you could pay 10-times higher."

[Page 3 has the obligatory half-a-page with famous brand name logos printed on it.]

"If you missed out on PepsiCo, Hansen's, and Snapple - Purple Beverages (PPBV) is YOUR Second Chance at Historic Profits" [Excuse me, but if we missed out on 3 other companies, shouldn't Purple Beverages be our 4th chance at historic profits?]

"Your Purple shares - purchased now up to $2.90 - can actually outperform the +21,000% stock-performance of Hansen Natural (HANS)"

[There's some sort of graph implying, among other things, the stock price to be over $30 at the time Purple releases its initial sales report.]

"Did you have any stock-market losses in 2007? Purple Beverages (PPBV) is the ONE stock you can buy today up to $2.90 and immediately make up for those losses losses along with an opportunity to amass your first stock-market fortune of 2008 as Purple increases its share of the booming $40 Billion specialty beverage sector."

"The key ingredient of all-natural, no-sugar-added Purple is the exotic acai [pronounced ah-SIGH] berry which, after being hailed as the new "superfood" on the Oprah Winfrey Show, has consumers clamoring for its high levels of antioxidants."

"I'm projecting an initial upward price-move to the $10 - $15 range as PPBV ramps up market-share in the red-hot specialty beverage sector - and then toward $100 per share as the company climbs the ladder of the behemoth U.S. beverage stocks such as PepsiCo and Hansen Natural."

"Purple can generate HUGE PROFITS in your portfolio for years to come"

UPDATE: On Mon., Aug. 4, I received the 2nd-week-of-August "Fagan Report", which plugged Purple Beverage.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Purple (PPBV) up to $2.25 is YOUR Profitable Future"

[Part of the "Profit-Path" this newsletter has for the stock goes:]
"Skyrocketing Sales and Market Share = PPBV GETS HIGHER EXCHANGE LISTING"
[Anytime I see one of those higher-exchange statements in these things, I have to bring up Fox Petroleum again. In September of '07, its stock was $2.50, and Scott Fraser's "Natural Contrarian" newsletter - brought to us by the same folks who give us the "Fagan Report" - told us it was "on its way to $55". In June of this year, the "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap" put it as a "sell" because of an impending 1-5 reverse stock split - which Fox Petroleum is doing to meet standards to get listed on AMEX.]

"I'm projecting +2,000% returns for those who follow my Strong Buy Signal on Purple Beverage (PPBV). Your window to own PPBV below $2.25 per share is about to be slammed shut - DO NOT hesitate on this one!"

"I am projecting Purple's next quarterly results to jump to nearly $1 MILLION Per Month"

"Here's where YOU Can Make $MILLIONS on PPBV:

• I've made my bold revenue prediction of around $1 Million per month for Purple's next round of Financials

• If I'm 100% right on my projections - I expect your PPBV shares to go on extended upward run of +2,000%

• Let's say I'm only 50% correct - I still expect you to make +1,000% profits

• If you wait to see if I am even 10% right - you still will have missed out on a HUGE profit-windfall on PPBV shares

Ultimate Profit-Point: DO NOT wait for Purple to release its upcoming financial results -- Buy Purple Beverage (PPBV) immediately with a $2.25 ceiling. Then, get ready to Take-Profits in the upward frenzy."

[Then a waste of 1 1/2 pages of space on the higher-exchange angle]

UPDATE: On Aug. 15, Purple Beverage released a report stating their 3rd-quarter revenue as $365,500. This averages out to $121,833.33 "per month". So, he was a little over "10% right". The highest the stock got that day was .70, before settling down to .66.

Pantera Petroleum, Inc. (PTPE.OB)

The 2nd-week-of-March, 2008 mailing of "Natural Contrarian", received on Mar. 6, comes with a separate sheet called "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap". This thing has 4 "buy" listings, 2 "hold" listings, and 1 "sell" listing.(In case you're curious, TechnoConcepts, Inc. (TCPS)) 2 of the "buy" listings, I already have here, so I'll list the 2 that haven't been here yet, starting with Pantera Petroleum. Of course, the statements aren't as much fun to read, but...

Beside the name of the stock in the listing it says, "Expectations continue to run high for company's definitive results from it 85% stake in up to 6.7 TCF natural gas / 1.1 billion barrels of oil."

UPDATE: In Scott Fraser's 2nd-week-of-June "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received 6/6/08, he now puts Pantera as a "hold".
"New natural gas property acquisition in prolific West Gomez Field, Texas; Stand-by as we await first-round drill results."

Western Standard Energy Corp. (WSEG.OB)

And the other one is Western Standard Energy.

"Powerful major Marathon Oil should be a driving force to the WSEG share-price in its current early levels as the company hits pay-dirt in North Dakota."

Bioshaft Water Technology, Inc. (BSHF.OB)

On Tue., May 20, 2008, I got a thing called "Market Movers", plugging this stock.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Buy Now Up To $6.50!"

"Bioshaft will revolutionize the $1 trillion U.S. domestic sewage treatment market"

"When word hits the Street, this $1 stock could jump to $10 overnight, and just keep climbing!" (It started the day on May 20 at $2.94, and finished the day over $3.)

"The next Standard Oil, U.S. Steel, IBM, Microsoft, or Google, if you will."

"Thousands of municipalities all across America will now consider either a new, or retrofitted, Bioshaft system to solve serious problems they've struggled with for decades..."

"It's a WIN for Bioshaft and their shareholders as sales go from the $millions, to $tens of millions, to $hundreds of millions, and finally to the $billions!"

"What makes Bioshaft a fortune-making opportunity is that it miraculously processes human waste water without creating sludge as a byproduct.

Yes, as crazy as this sounds - the biggest, costliest, most dangerous problem in sewage treatment is eliminated!

Well, not entirely. The sludge reduction is 95%. Please excuse me but I'm going to call that 'eliminated.'"

"Water technology stocks are hot!
...
Check these recent profits...
CCC............up $283%!
HDRX........up 325%!
PNR............up 528%!
WWAT .......up 630%!
BSHF...1,000%?"

"Maybe you missed out on buying Microsoft stock. Maybe you missed Apple. Don't miss BSHF..."

"But even if BSHF jumps to $2, or $3, or $5 in the short term, it'll still be one of the great buys of the young 21st century."

UPDATE: On Wed., July 2, 2008, I got another "Michael Williams Market Movers" plugging Bioshaft, and saying identical things - except that now it's "poised to revolutionize the $1.3 trillion domestic sewage treatment market".

ForgeHouse, Inc. (FOHE.OB)

On Fri., June 6, I got the 2nd-week-of-June issue of "Natural Contrarian".

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"ForgeHouse can make 'Overnight Millionaires' now - Just like Apple over 20 years ago
If you buy ForgeHouse stock (FOHE) Now Up to $2 - You can actually make MORE money than the instant Apple-Millionaires because ForgeHouse has 3 big advantages:
1. ForgeHouse controls its technology which may be far more profitable than Apple's
2. ForgeHouse has a potential market that may be many multitudes above Apple's [Excuse me, doc - I've got "accute case of the 'MayBe's' "]
3. ForgeHouse early-shareholders get in under $2 instead of $22 for early Apple shares" [This brings me back to the late 80's or early 90's, when we had this run on stock junk-mail for a while. I remember in one of those, there was a heading that went "Apple a 'penny-stock'?" And it went on to talk about how Apple started out at just a few cents per share - not $22. One thing hasn't changed in these ads: the ol' comparisons to Apple. There are enough "Apple"s in this thing to make me gag.]

"YOU can buy FOHE below $2 - BEFORE its projected run above $100"

"ForgeHouse owms the lead security technology that I project will become a global-dominator across numerous multi-$Billion industries.
While this may be the first time you've heard of ForgeHouse and its proprietary "OneVision" security technology - you'll soon be hearing a lot more as Wall Street's giant financial instutuions commence a buying-frenzy on FOHE shares."

"ForgeHouse (FOHE) is the Next Apple!"

"Huge Licensing Deal with Securitas USA
+
Rapid Market-Penetration into Multi-$Billion Target-Markets 1 2 & 3
=
Up to $200 per FOHE share"

[And what are those "target-markets"?]
"1. One-Vision in every major office building, skyscraper, and college campus"
"2. One-Vision protecting U.S. Embassies and Military Installations"
"3. One-Vision thwarting terrorist threats to U.S. Nuclear and Chemical facilities"

"You'll be telling your grandchildren YOU were a seed-level investor in ForgeHouse"

Oh, yeah... I forgot to look at the other "buys" in the "Contrarian Press Market Recap" that came with that mailing! Here goes:

Jayhawk Energy, Inc. (JYHW.OB)

UPDATE: On Wed., July 2, 2008, I got the 2nd week of July "Natural Contrarian" newsletter, and Jayhawk Energy was the advertised stock of the issue.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Buy JYHW up to $3 per share & Get Rich as JayHawk becomes the next U.S. Oil-Titan"

"JYHW can move from below $3 to over $100 per share"

"YOUR brief window on JYHW shares at the 'Seed-Level' is NOW!"

"... when JayHawk announces the next set of production numbers, YOU can expect a frenzy of Wall Street buying to drive your JYHW shares way up.

Could JayHawk be bought out by Marathon at $100 per share ... or even HIGHER?"

"JYHW: Your Wealth Formula
You buy JYHW below $3 at start of major drilling
+
Expanding Institutional Buying on Upward Stock-Exchange Transition
=
Your JYHW shares on way to $100"

"I am 100% confident that JayHawk energy can move many multiples higher in a Buy-Out scenario - and this can happen BEFORE the next production results are announced."

"I'm saying JayHawk can move up to the Amex within 2008 as the company steadily ramps up oil & gas production and drilling activities in America's heartland.

JYHW shares should then be right in the $10 - $20 per share range and well on the way to a New York Stock Exchange listing

[He brought up Ultra Petroleum so many times in this "report", I might as well quote one of them now:] "We've done it before! I was the one who said 'Buy Ultra Petroleum (UPL)' early on when it was trading below $1. A huge profit-windfall ensued as Ultra first moved up to the Amex, and then to the NYSE where it currently trades pre-split well above $160 a share" [Another case of the proverbial "broken clock lucky twice a day", but he uses this way more often. He also brought up Ultra Petroleum in his mailing about Fox Petroleum.]

[In his "recent winners", he still brings up:] "Fox Petroleum: I told you to buy at $1.08 - It then went to $3.56" [But he said it "should soon move from under $4.00 to over $55 per share", and now he has it as a "sell" because of a decision to implement a 1-5 reverse stock split - which Fox Petroleum is doing in an attempt to meet standards to get listed on AMEX.]

UPDATE: On Fri., Aug. 8, I got the 2nd-week-of-August "Elite Stock-Market Advisory", which is pretty-much a repeat of the above-mentioned "Natural Contrarian", except where he said "I am 100% confident..." before, now he says "I am extremely confident..."

Force Energy Corp. (FORC.OB)

Colorado Goldfields (CGFI.OB)

"Buy quickly to get in below $1"

Aussie Soles Group (AUSE.OB)

What is it with "permit #3602" and Berwyn, IL? I got yet another one of those mailings with that pre-printed "postmark", or whatever you call it. The return address is to a Tim Fields in Boynton Beach, Florida. I got this on Fri., June 27, 2008. The name of this newsletter is "Untapped Wealth".

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Every $5,000 invested today could turn into $75,000!"

"Fast-growing Aussie Soles (stock symbol AUSE) is about to grab the #2 spot in global sales just behind the phenomenally successful Crocs Shoes... [I've seen comparisons to Apple in these things, but for gosh sake, Crocs?!?]

I believe this could trigger a 10, 15, even 20-fold share price increase!"

"Can you imagine what will happen to AUSE shares, as the company's sales climb to $50 million, to $100 million, and then $200 million and more in their global rollout?!

I'm convinced early AUSE shareholders could see a 10-fold gain, even a 20-fold gain, and in just a matter of months!"

"Pick up the phone. Talk to your registered financial advisor about taking an early position in Aussie Soles (symbol AUSE). Then log on to your online brokerage account and ACT!

I'm convinced this stock has fortune-making potential for early investors, and you'll probably never see the share price this low again."

"Many shift workers will be converting to Aussie Soles because of their need for an anti-static shoe!

Crocs lovers will soon try Aussie Soles and discover it's a better shoe for the same money!

New buyers are likely to choose the better looking and fitting Aussie Soles when comparison shopping!

So it's just a matter of time before Aussie Soles are on tens of millions of feet. Even Crocs 800% gain could pale in comparison to Aussie Soles skyrocketing shares!"

"I'm telling you - they ought to get the Congressional Medal of Honor for this, but let's be happy with a potential 10 to 20-fold gain and call it a day."

"I'll tell you what I think - this stock is going to the moon."

"... I believe Aussie Soles shares (AUSE) could jump 10 to 20 times in just the next few months!"

"AUSE shares could take off like a rocket any day now!

And that wraps up my report." [I can hear that Carnac "applause" in my brain right now.]

Panglobal Brands, Inc. (PNGB.OB)

This is one of the "buys" listed in the 2nd week of July 2008 "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received on Wed., July 2.

"Buy now before PNGB starts its extended upward move."

UPDATE: The 2nd week of August "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received on Mon., Aug. 4, now puts it as a "hold".

"Strong sales revenue uptrend from company's in-house apparel brands; Nevertheless, we recommend a "HOLD" on PNGB until Autumn 2008 line-up is publicly announced."

CrowdGather, Inc. (CRWG.OB)

This is one of the "buys" listed in the 2nd-week-of-August "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received on Mon., Aug. 4.

"Rapidly emerging Internet-tech company on same legendary profit-path as giants MySpace and YouTube; CRWG is an Urgent Must-Buy up to $2".
