Oh Boy! If you are interested in penny stocks that is my forte. 95% of the OTC stocks are scams, but... if you know how to play them and can sit in front of a computer all day you can make some serious money. These stocks are heavily manipulated by the insiders and stock promoters involved in these stock selling schemes. The key is to watch and chart them and wait for the signs of the pump and dump. I did check out WTER but with the minimal volume (it traded 3000 shares @.015, that's $45!!) you would most likely get stuck. Look for companies with high volume and sharp ups and downs. Many stocks have clauses in there financing arrangements that call for a certain minimum floor price of the stock. It's amazing how the price bounces off this number (not really as the financer (I call them penny pimps) usually has a short position to hedge the shares he has been given and "covers his short position as the price nears the "floor". Another good sign is an S-8 filing whereby the company issues shares to consultants (usually family and friends!) and has to promote them to get a good price. The majority of these p+d's usually last 2-3 days with the best time to dump your shares being the morning of the second day around 11:00 AM. Current pumps I'm following are FSTI and CMKI which are both at their peaks (just my guess). Watch them retrace back to their levels of last week. Just remember, gamble only what you can afford to lose, and at the very least, take your original investment off the table ASAP and ride your free shares.

As a financial professional, I can advise you NEVER to buy penny stocks. It's simply bad idea jeans for many of the reasons listed above. The only appropriate allocation towards penny stocks is money you would have otherwise brought to Foxwoods. Any money set aside for retirement, college, and the like should be put into a safer arena. Unless you have a Nasdaq Level II terminal, have no job, and sit in front of it all day, I think you'd be eaten alive by the OTC traders.

looks like somebody sold today-----2:15pm ET
WTER
0.016
0.00 (15.78%)
Day's Range: 0.016 - 0.02
Day's Volume: 24,400
Avg. Volume: 0

Here's a little story about .........a guy who kept buying shares in a thinly traded otc company. Every time he bought the stock it went up. Finally after "making" a 500% profit with his shrewd investing skills he decided to take some profits. He called his broker and asked if he'd sell half his holdings. His broker replied, "I can't, you were the only one buying the stock!"

From what I read about WTER it is nothing but a shell at this point, with no revenues or marketable product.

All these PR's are protected under the Safe Harbor Act. They are considered forward looking statements. Now here is an old company report I dug up. Keep in mind WTER has only generated 40,000 in revenue in the last 4 years or so. You be the judge whether anything they say will happen............................................ .........During the latter part of 1998 WaterChef embarked on an aggressive multi-tier marketing program to introduce the water cooler product line to the major retailers and mass merchants and to the bottled water industry in the United States.

For the record, it is pointed out that WaterChef already has experience with the large mass merchants with the Company's success in selling and promoting product to the West Coast operations of the Home Depot organization.

In further support of our growth program, WaterChef has mounted an international marketing program for water coolers with particular emphasis being placed on potential customers in the Middle East, Central and South America. Water marketing surveys have shown that the Middle East is the second largest market after the United States and South America is the third largest of the growing markets.

WaterChef's PureSafe Water Station has been designed to provide a local solution to the drinking water needs of small populations. Each system can satisfy the purified water needs of 3,000 to 3,500 people, affordably and efficiently. The WaterChef system is adaptable to a wide range of water-borne threats and is suitable for a wide range of applications. The PureSafe Water Station is designed to be attended during its hours of operation, and has been engineered with an eye toward ease of maintenance and ease of installation. The basic system, complete with backup power supply, will provide U.S. EPA grade drinking water for about $0.035 per gallon.

While the PureSafe Water Station was originally designed to effectively convert "bathing grade" water to potable water quality, the Company has responded to other water problems with system enhancements. In the first enhancement the system has been upgraded to handle brackish water conditions and the presence of heavy concentrations of toxic metals. Most recently WaterChef has incorporated full desalination capabilities into an expanded version of the system.

Additionally, WaterChef has been formally selected by Counterpart International based in Washington, D.C., to provide the PureSafe Water Station for the low-cost housing development Counterpart will build in Negros Occidental, the Philippines. Construction was scheduled to start later in 2000. WaterChef has also entered into a marketing agreement with another group to market systems directly to agencies of the Philippine Government.

WaterChef, in 1999, commenced active negotiations to provide multiple systems for use in the Middle East, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, Thailand and Vietnam.

In second quarter 2000 WaterChef was notified that the PureSafe Water Station had been selected by the International Red Cross for deployment in Mozambique as part of the relief effort.

With the business captured recently, the positive response to our product offering among our potential customer base, and the positive impact of our new products, WaterChef projects domestic revenues of over $3,000,000 in 2001 growing to over $15,000,000 by 2004.

0.018----------This is the closing price yesterday
0.0219----------the closing price today
+0.0040 (+22.22%)------the gain between yesterdays close and todays close. Up .004, which is a 22% gain based on yesterdays closing price
Volume: 111,000 ----- amount of shares traded today

The meaning--- absolutely nothing! If you multiply .02 (the average price the shares traded at today) by 111000, only about $2220 changed hands today. My guess is one person decided to average down a bit today and bought, driving the price up.

What do these guys have that U.S. Filter/Culligan and Poland Spring don't have? They certainly aren't making any money.

This is literally a penny stock - the 52 week low was one cent per share. Granted you can get a lot of leverage off a buying a lot of cheap shares but this stock moves purely on technicals (again watch out for pump and dump).

Pay attention to the contingent shareholder dilution provisions...here's the 10/K.

Mike, you might be onto something here. KVHI is $345 MM in market cap and has analyst coverage (mostly buy ratings). More importantly they have earnings.

Impressive run up in the stock lately - it's trading at 53.4x 2004 consensus EPS of $0.58. That's not cheap by any measure, but this could continue to be a momentum play as earnings estimates (particularly 2005 EPS) are revised upward (as the economic outlook improves).

A little rich for my blood right now.

If you see it dip (when investors take money off the table) and the earnings outlook continues to be favorable, I might buy it.

You still fishing?

WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Satellite communications company KVH Industries (KVHI) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday to periodically sell up to 3 million common shares.

Net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, the company said in a shelf registration statement.

KVH Industries shares traded 2 cents lower Wednesday afternoon at $30.73 on the Nasdaq stock market. MORE

Mike,

It's a shelf registration.

Everytime a company wants to raise money by selling stock to the public, it has to file its intent to do so with the SEC, along with a lot of other information.

A shelf registration gives a company flexibility by registering stock in advance of when the company might need it - it allows the company to read advantageous market conditions and issue shares accordingly rather than file every time they need the money (there is a waiting period).

Coulda, wouda, shouda, mrmacey! Something fishy is going on with wter. They have had no news for months but the s/p has risen 100's of percentage points. Could be an offshore financier accumulating shares to short against when the impending pump dries up. Once they issue those millions of new shares the s/p is sure to plummet. They would be able to lock in their short position at a very attractive price and insure a huge profit.

Longs - It's our chance to cash out, IMO ...

Just perused latest 10QSB, and learned of Series F
preferred used for CD back in 4/03. Here's the exerpt:

"In April 2003, management authorized the Company to raise up $550,000 through a private placement by issuing 10% two-year convertible preferred instruments. The preferred, designated as Series F, and providing for one million shares in total, will be convertible into shares of Water Chef's common stock at such time as the stockholders of the corporation approve an increase in the authorized capital stock of the corporation. All dividends are payable in shares of the Company's common stock valued at the then current market price per share, or upon conversion, whichever is earlier. The conversion rate for shares and accrued dividends payable is 40 shares of common for each 1 share of preferred stock and dividends payable, or $0.025 for each share of common stock. The Series F convertible preferred stockholders have voting rights equal to the common stockholders. The Series F convertible preferred stock has no stated rights in the assets of the Company upon liquidation."

Once we get our proxies, and approve the authorized increase, the CD holders can convert. As the CEO and company officers control 50% of voting rights, looks like authorized increase is imminent. IMO, run up in price
is the customary increase by CD holders to get a nice high
price to open their short position.

Looking to sell to close my WTER position, so hope this pump
is a good one.

Later, Len
