Lots of threads on that. Have you read Geo's? Myself, I plunged into ge, ebay and a little of a couple others on geo's recommendation. Plus I bought some silver today, about 700oz worth. I bought the etf stock rather than the physical silver because I only want the profit. I'm not willing to pay a $3 an oz premium to be able to fondle those bars (and worry about break ins).
Citi had a rise recently, about 40%.

Gold and silver is fucking expensive right now, but they are and will always be some solid investments. I actually prefer to buy coins or the physical metals.
Some solid buys right now (I wish I had more cash) would be GE (wow it's such a cheap stock now), the have some cool Tech coming out, they got Government contracts, and they'll most likely not be going anywhere anytime soon.
Walmart is another solid purchase. It's moderately priced (most likely the cheapest you'll ever get it is around now) and I know for sure walmart isn't going anywhere any time soon. Their the largest retailer in the world and they focus on cheap price made to sell.
Right now you can get a lot of solid name brand stocks for the single and double digit range. That's what I'd be focusing on. You know it's only a matter of time when a company like GE is selling for 20-40 dollars a share. I wouldn't be buying penny stocks, or any smaller no name companies at the current moment. The riskiest I'd go is buying some citibank stocks.

My god gentlemen, I think I was just part of some possibly soon to be investigated stock pump and dump. Unkowingly of course. The stock CTIC, which has been talked about at many penny stock forums rose 10 fold in a very short amount of time, then dropped way down after that. Something seems very unkosher about that, but let me tell you, I am extremely pleased with it. A 10 fold increase is killer, since it was a penny stock I didnt have more than a few grand in there at the beginning, boy if only I could have predicted the future. Ive decided that after the gambles on AIG and CTIC Im going to take a break from the hectic extreme risk stocks.

The other big one is SPSN. From 1 penny on 3/12/09 to 17 cents right now, up 30% on the day, 1600% in 3 weeks!

We should start listing the penny stocks we are interested in. Summarize knowledge we have gained about certain penny stocks and why we think they will go up

Penny stocks are far riskier and harder to make money on than stocks listed on the exchanges. For every one you hear about that went way up in price there are hundreds or thousands which went down and stayed down. One problem with thinly traded stocks is even if the price goes up you may not be able to sell your holding. It's always easy to buy, too easy, but when you try to sell you can only sell if someone wants to buy at that price. If no one is interested then your sell order just sits there. This is even more true with the sub pennies.
If you are going to trade pennies at least stay with the OTC market. The pink sheet stocks do not have to report to the SEC while OTC stocks do. So at least there are some standards. Penny stocks include those under $5 so you could find some of those listed on the major exchanges. They have far higher standards and they weed out a lot of the fakes. Many stocks on the otc and pinks have no real source of income besides selling stock to speculators. The company keeps authorizing more and more shares of stock and selling them. They try to start rumors on the boards and put out good sounding pr notices to get gullible investors on board and then they dump the shares they have.
If you just want to gamble go to vegas or buy lottery tickets.

Some of the stocks that I am watching but most of my funds are tied up:
PNX/CDR/LVS/MGM/CENX/ACAS/CSIQ
I usually get stocks between $1 and $5, but they are always listed on a major exchange, and never a pink sheet or OTC stock. They are riskier but with greater risk comes a greater reward (or loss).
April 1st close: PNX: $1.58 (+35.04%) I was referred to this stock a couple days ago when it was at a dollar a share. Never bought.
CDR: $1.75 (+0.57%) I tried to get into this today at $1.70 but the order is restricted and I didn't feel like calling it in.
LVS: $3.74 (+24.25%) MGM: $2.63 (+12.88%) LVS/MGM are both up strong in the after hours. CEO of LVS just bought $23 million worth of shares. Here is the headline that has MGM up 17% in the after hours: "Colony Capital May Invest In MGM's City Center: WSJ"
CENX: $2.30 (+9%)
ACAS: $2.25 (+20.32%)
I got 1,000 shares of ACAS last week at $1.10 and sold on Friday at $2.04. I wish I would have gotten about 10X the amount of shares but it worked out well. I believe ACAS will be over $3 within a week or 2.
CSIQ: $6.86 (+14.72%) Canadian Solar. If it goes up again tomorrow I'm holding. If I see the slightest sign of a pull back I'm selling (I got in last Thursday at $6.10)

Alcoa is the first Dow 30 stock to report 1st quarter earnings (this Tuesday). They are the #1 in their sector and their results will impact the other aluminum producers: http://www.alcoa.com/global/en/about_alcoa/overview.asp
Quote:
NEW YORK, April 3 (Reuters) - Wall Street expects aluminum producer Alcoa Inc (AA.N) to report a second consecutive quarterly loss next week, mostly because the metal's price has dropped 9 percent this year. "The metal price is down, that's the key," said analyst Charles Bradford of Bradford Research. "There is still too much aluminum out there, inventories are too high and demand stinks." The aluminum price tumbled some 50 percent in the second half of 2008 from a peak of $3,380 per tonne last July. During the first quarter of this year, the price MAL3 fell another 9 percent from $1,530 to $1,392. On Friday it was trading in London at $1,468. Alcoa, like most producers, has cut production in the last six months as the global economic downturn stunted demand. Just this week, Alcoa announced it was curtailing 120,000 annual tonnes at its smelter in Massena, New York, raising the company's total aluminum output cuts to over 850,000 tonnes, or 20 percent of annualized output. In January, Alcoa, which has recently slashed 15,000 jobs, posted a fourth-quarter loss -- its first in six years. Now, Wall Street expects more red ink for the first quarter when Alcoa kicks off the earnings season on Tuesday. Analysts currently expect a loss of 52 cents per share compared with profit of 44 cents per share in the first quarter of 2008. Revenue is expected to be $4.0 billion, down 45 percent from $7.4 billion a year earlier, according to Reuters Estimates. The outlook for the rest of year is gloomy too, according to Alcoa's chief executive, Klaus Kleinfeld. He told the Reuters Mining Summit last month that he sees a decline of 6 percent to 7 percent in global consumption of aluminum -- worse than his previous forecast of 2 percent. Alcoa's stock, which hit a year-high of $44.76 last May, has slumped as the recession hurt aluminum prices and demand for the metal used in automotive and aerospace manufacture and such consumer items as beverage cans and kitchen foil. On Friday morning, the stock was down 4 percent at $7.85 on the New York Stock Exchange. It has rallied from a low of $4.98 last month after Alcoa announced it would cut its dividend and raise $1.3 billion from an offering of stock and convertible notes. That prompted Deutsche Bank to raise the company's stock rating to "hold" from "sell," saying it is likely that refinancing fears have been pushed into 2010. Desjardins Securities, meanwhile, forecast that base metal equities will move higher this year. "Alcoa has been one of those commodity stocks that has been beaten up," William Lefkowitz, options strategist at brokerage firm vFinance Investments in New York, said this week. "However, investors who believe that the worldwide economies are going to start to turn around and are beginning to show signs of light at the end of the tunnel have begun buying shares of Alcoa." He said Alcoa's results "may be better than a lot of the gloomier estimates."
Keep in mind CENX has gone up 92.75% since Monday's close: Monday: $1.93 Tuesday: $2.11 Wednesday: $2.29 Thursday: $2.99 Friday: $3.72

April 6: MGM closed at $5.53 with a $6.70 day high Quite a difference in 3 trading days.
Still in CSE at $1.60 (current PPS: $2.02)
Got into SGIC this morning at 0.235 cents and watched it zigzag a bit between 23 and 30 cents before exploding in the last hour of trading. It closed at 49 cents which is the exact price I sold for about 20 minutes before closing bell (108% gain)....Unfortunately, trades went through at 75 cents in the after hours but I had to cash out a 100% profit in 1 day.
I was going to say something about SGIC but this thread is not very active so I didn't bother (plus I had no idea it was going to go up like that).
I got into GGP today at $1.05 and it closed at 97 cents.
Another one to watch is TXCO.
