The stock picks I mentioned here have all gone up since then, some of them significantly.  At this writing NNVC (Nanoviricides Inc). is up from about $1 to $2, or about 100%.

Not really any wonder there, if word is starting to spread what they have.  As I declared then, I declare again: they have developed a cure for many, and potentially all, viruses.  Animal tests have shown miraculous recoveries from the flu.  Human tests show the same for AIDS.

Over time that stock will rocket.

First, I’ve got to confess to subscribers I’ve suspended my demo accounts with I AM FX (for reasons you’ll guess in the below), and I haven’t re-established them or any others.  I will, and I’ll update.

Second, I’ve been editing posts at this blog to recommend against, and now again for, the broker I AM FX.

I still recommend I AM FX, but presently this comes with four cautions:

1. For several weeks I had unresolved connection issues to my brokerage account with them, which seems to have been resolved by their just migrating to new servers (where all new customers will also have their accounts hosted).  For this reason I would recommend constantly monitoring your connection to the brokerage to be sure it remains intact.  If it does for three weeks solid, I wouldn’t worry anymore.  That is only the ultraconservative approach.  I think the odds highly favor that the problem is really of no concern – but are you going to risk even more than 1 percent if you can avoid it?
2. I would not recommend depositing less than $3,500, minimum – $5,000 would begin to be “very safe” – assuming you manage your trading well, or have Robots that manage your trades well – which is a problem worthy of so many other articles by themselves.  Why $3,500 to $5,000 minimum?  Because I AM FX changed their allowed minimum trading lot size to .05 lots.  Having several robots trade 01 lost sizes per $1,000 of startup capital, with leverage between 100:1 and 200:1 is the conservative approach (I’m jittery – my leverage is 100:1 right now).  As I AM FX will not accept any order less than a .05 lot size, a neighborhood of $5,000 start-up capital is probably best.
3. Do not invest money in the Forex market that you cannot afford to lose.  Do not invest money in the Forex market that you cannot afford to lose.  Invest only money in the Forex market that you can afford to lose.  Get the point?  You might win – or you might lose.  Or win big.  Or lose big.  You have to play it extremely smart and conservatively to win big.  That doesn’t mean never investing.  It means investing smartly.
4. The Forex Market is set to follow the rest of the world’s major paper currencies, which are all, in my firm opinion, set up to CRASH in ways that will make the Great Depression look like burning so much Monopoly board game money.  I digress to post links or further ramble about it at present (well, okay, here’s one) – but I’ll say this: if you’re going to play the Forex market right now, play it short. If you are using Robots (or Expert Advisors), it may be a good idea to only allow them to play short trades (MetaTrader 4 has a setting to allow “only short” trades).  I would be very cautious playing any trade long.  Right now the market is ranging (I think?), or playing sideways, meaning that short and long trades can both win, if played smartly  – but mark my words, the world’s major currencies will be obliterated. Decimated.  Left worthless. The only real money left any more will be physical, in-hand gold. You read it here.  PayPal me five bucks when it turns out this prediction is right.  I can tell you where to PayPal it if you send to me through my Contact Form. If I even want five bucks when you do. Who am I kidding? I’ll take five bucks wherever I can – even when it’s worth far less than it used to be.

Sigh.  I’m supposed to be telling you to spend money that will make me commissions. Oh, I get commissions on every trade you make at I AM FX after so many trades, dontcha’ know?  Yes, I do.

If it is money you can lose, it can also be money you can gain, because the Forex market can be a very rewarding market.  But, in summary, if you even play it, play it smart.

Averages 10.87% Daily Return over the Same Period

[Update 02-24-2010: (this note is an amusing aside.) show

Artificial Intelligence and networked world markets have converged to produce a phenomenal opportunity.

Maybe you know what the Foreign Exchange Market (or Forex), is, and what Forex Robots (or Expert Advisers or EAs) are.  If you don’t, click “show” to unfold the introductory paragraph.

show

In the vast sea of free and retail Forex robots,  there are pirates who will swindle you out of cash by claiming amazing results from their Robot, enticing you to buy it: but it may be that in fact the odds are against you obtaining the same results, or worse, the odds may favor terrible results.

These pirates may show you an internet-published Forex account statement (which would show open and closed Foreign Exchange trades, profit etc.), but with either part or all of the statement secretly removed, to avoid showing poor or losing trades.

I know two cases of such fraud, and I will name names.

1. “Forex Robot No Loss”. Details are at Forex Peace Army, the comment headed by “Eric, Florida”. You should ignore the robot creator’s reply because he is extremely hateful and foul (never mind his fraud).
2. USDBOT, as described at 4xproject. They do not notify buyers the robot sold is an entirely different robot than what is advertised (never mind the robot they do sell could be quite risky).

Such horrors aside, there is a way to be sure a published Forex account statement is true and accurate.

If you are provided an investor password, account number, and server information, you can connect to a Demo or Live Forex trading account in read-only mode. Read-only mode means you can view all trading information, but can’t place trades or otherwise manipulate the account.  But the data comes direct from the brokerage account. It can be like visiting Aladdin’s Cave without being allowed to touch a thing.

I personally use FAPTurbo, IvyBot, MegaDroid, and Forex AutoPilot, all of which work very well, all of which I recommend.  But how do you verify their sellers’ account statements?

At this writing I know of only one robot seller who provides an investor password, to verify the robot’s singularly and astonishingly good track record.  This seller is Forex Robot World Cup, and the robot is named Fusion.

I’ve obtained and used the investor password for the live account which Fusion is trading.  I’ve saved a more detailed report from that investigation here (for example it shows an equity curve graphic).  Also, I ran the figures to find Fusion’s average daily return over the statement period, which you can download here.  You can manipulate the Open Office source spreadsheet (link to file) to find the daily average for any statement.

Fusion shows better potential than any robot I’ve ever seen, with conservative, effective money management.  These past two days it has outperformed all other robots I’ve used this month combined.

But should you trust what I say without verifying anything yourself?

I don’t publish my own live account statements (maybe eventually I will).  A live account statement best shows potential, but a demo account statement is also good.  You can get my investor passwords, and learn how to use them, by submitting your email in the box at the upper-right of this blog, or by clicking here. [Update: for reasons other posts get at, those test accounts are down.  I will open new ones with statements, and notify the list when I do.]

You can also use the investor password for any robot provided by the Forex Robot World Cup, to verify live trading account statements before letting any robot trade your own Demo or Live account.

If you start live trading, I recommend the broker I AM FX, for their very low spreads and fast quotes. [Update 2010-03-25: my cautions about I AM FX and the Forex market in general are here.]  I also wholeheartedly recommend the Fusion robot, which is available here.

For Foreign Exchange investing, I’ve been using this broker FXDD. Turns out I couldn’t possibly recommend them. Their spreads (commissions) are  fat – making it more difficult than it should be to turn a profit trading. It’s further difficult to cut a profit during fast market moves, because orders submit too slowly, and they’ll re-quote your bid (or ask) because the market has moved too much for the price to match by the time the order finally arrives. Because of this, there have been several fast, low market dives I’ve seen emerge, and by the time FXDD finally sends my short sell order, the market dive is done and my order is rejected. It has prevented me from capitalizing on some of the best opportunities.

My new broker, I AM FX, is fabulous.  [Update 2010-03-25: though I still favor I AM FX, but my cautions about this broker and also the Forex market in general are here.]  Very low spreads, no re-quotes (because they have no dealing desk), and fast market data and ordering.

Another problem with FXDD is their relationship with Click and Buy. Click and Buy lets you deposit via credit card to FXDD (which is an unwise thing to do unless you know you’ll be able to pay it back. Which, if you’re spending money you don’t have in investments, you easily may not).

It turns out FXDD will only allow you to withdraw via the same route you deposited (so they say, and that this is in following a Federal requirement, to avoid money laundering), so as I’ve backed out of FXDD I’ve had to request that everything be sent back to my Click and Buy account.

Click and Buy isn’t letting me withdraw to any of three bank accounts I have attempted to. I get an error that they cannot verify them, and to call. I’ve called eight times over the past four days, and always get a message either that their call volume is too high and to call back, or to please hold – and after ten to twenty minutes the line goes blank. I’ve emailed them and tried their web contact form also.

Zilch.

Which is too bad, because when I was able to contact them a month ago, a delightful British man (being that they are in Great Britain) answered, who always bid farewell with “Buh-bye!”

[I forget when this Update was posted: after speaking with many credit card service reps. (not click and buy - I was never able to contact them), one of them found the appropriate Click and Buy form here (from the very bottom of this long page). It took using google, and again, only one out of many credit service reps was resourceful enough to find this - and even now knowing it exists, it's still very hard to find that at the Click and Buy web site. Unhelpful, confusing navigation at their site - and this form should be right there at the payment methods page, not buried at least three obscure pages into "help"!]

[Update 2010-03-25 because there is no response at all from ClickandBuy about the problem, I am contacting the Financial Ombudsman Service (for dispute resolution) I learned about from ClickandBuy's Terms and Conditions agreement.  And while this may imply that I will continuously update this blog with the situation.. uh, no thanks.]

[Update Feb 16 2010: Performance of ISCO has been, uh, meh (and as volatile as a penny stock - which it is) since the Friday anticipated in this report. Not even following it anymore daily - may look back at it and some of these others. Still strongly interested but not invested in NNVC - yet.]

Why would I pay for any information here..

When I can freely view the full report, both in html format here.. and in downloadable pdf format here?

XYZ!

These are the six stocks the report recommends (my title said 5 because the first five are biotech, the last is energy): ISCO, BTIM, GERN, MRNA, and NNVC.  The last is LTBR.

These are “buy and forget” stocks – hold them for a few years.  Forget, because penny stocks can be extremely volatile during a company’s founding years, violently swinging up and down.  For that very reason, if there is sudden explosive upside on any of them (very possible, read on), you could sell a small portion of your stocks and hold the rest for a few years.  But I would definitely hold on to as many of these stocks as you can.

Why?

According to the hyped up teaser copy, on February 5th ISCO will make an announcement which will cause the investment world to go bonkers (my words-though I think that would make good ad copy!) over the stock.  I’ve read elsewhere that such predictions in that newsletter have been wrong before   Still, what ISCO and these other companies are developing are easily miraculous technologies.  I haven’t read details on all the recommendations, but here’s my brief take on two of them:

1. Stock Ticker: ISCO.  Opportunity: Research and development of processes to extract cells from (potentially) any part of a subjects’ body, combine them with other regenerative cells, and either outright manufacture organs, tissue, or other body material related to the original area of extraction, or re-implant the combined original and regenerative cells to induce large-scale cellular repair and reconstruction in the host.

This means potentially repairing many (if not all) kinds of injuries that are not immediately fatal or catastrophic.  They have done an experiment extracting heart cells from mice genetically weakened to the point of suffering heart strokes (there is an entire market for mutant mice weakened one way or another, just for experiments like this).  They combined those heart cells with some of these regenerative cells, re-implanted them in the mice, and observed the mice hearts’ spontaneously rebuild themselves into vigorous, robust and youthful hearts.  The mice were given, essentially, new hearts–without any outside organ donation or invasive surgery.

Indications are that this process may be possible with all types of human cells.

The process utilizes parthenogenetic stem cells (I think?), which are created without destroying any human embryos (thus setting aside ethical objections).

2. The same company has developed a spray that rejuvenates aged and/or wrinkled skin.  Look at the before and after pictures in that first link. I would not be surprised if this product, when it hits the market, far outsells scores of competing skin care products and industries in one fell swoop.

3. Stock Ticker: NNVC. Opportunity: THE CURE FOR AIDS. THE CURE FOR EVERY TYPE OF FLU. NEUTRALIZATION OF ALL VIRAL CHEMICAL WARFARE AGENTS. THE POTENTIAL TO CURE ALL VIRUSES.

I’m declaring this well before it is “true”.  This is not by any means “official” in science or the press.  And yet after what I’ve read I cannot imagine it will turn out otherwise.  To my mind, it is fact already–awaiting widespread recognition.  They have done it.

How they did it was first fabricate inert imitation cells which have a protein signature on the surface identical to cells to which a virus attaches.  When these decoy cells are in the same host as a virus (and they have been tested in humans and various animals), the virus attaches to them and unloads its inner envelope – but since the inert imitation cell does not reproduce, the viruses’ inner envelope is simply discarded without damaging any real cells, and (I can only imagine) it then simply circulates out of the host without doing any harm.

They made a decoy which causes a virus to neutralize its own capacity to reproduce.

More about it at this other fellows’ blog post, and his more recent update on the stock or company.

Caveat Emptor:

That page contains some Bolagna Salami.  (Also known as BS.  Get it?  Ha, ha, ha.)

On the other hand, it contains a ton of useful material I will never read/listen to.  Okay, I will.. a half hour at a time.. maybe.. a person needs to read one thing and then do something with that knowledge.  The internets are full of information like this.  It is easy to get distracted and never do anything with the knowledge.

(This is my weakness).

How much of this information is actually useful?  I dunno.  I tend to believe they’re rich.  Isn’t information from rich people automatically useful?

I Have Now Blathered.

What is the useful information?  18 informational mp3s to listen to on many different millionaires’ tools and strategies that run their e-commerce businesses, plus one .pdf file.  Oy!  How do you download all that?

1. Use Firefox.  What?  You aren’t?  Use Firefox!  Now!
2. Install this add-on, which, once you get used to it, makes scouring downloads out of a page and collecting them to the download destination of your choice a breeze.

What is the Bolagna Salami?  This:

WARNING: The information at these download links is copyright protected and we intend to protect it from unauthorized use.  This page is designed to work only from your computer.  Should it be forwarded to others you risk providing access to your files on your computer!

What?  If I forward the link elsewhere, people will access the files from my computer, not that web site?  The creators of this page built an exclusive information channel between my computer, theirs, and other people’s computers, and it’s all monitored, and they can all access my hard drive directly?  Just by arriving at that page, I’ve signed some kind of search-and-seizure waiver?  Never mind the technical absurdity of that – but how can they so glibly propose that I’ve waived all rights to the privacy of my files?

Folks, this is a shining example of the fact that many marketers prey on ignorance.  They evidently think that many people will believe that nonsense, or else they wouldn’t say it.  It’s a stupid scare tactic.  If they intend to control distribution of those materials, they’ll place actual controls on the information.  This is rubbish.  That’s a public link.  Anyone can get at that page, and at those files, without restriction.

Unfortunately, I’ve been a sucker.  I paid one dollar to access that page.  I want my dollar back times three.

Speaking which – a small payment like that – here’s a warning: never buy into a promise of a “one-time” small fee or “trial” service.  I’ve had too many bad experiences where a vendor later made unauthorized or repeat charges (or failed to fulfill my cancel request) – this even from otherwise seemingly trustworthy, prominent web sites.  They may have mentioned the future charges in micro-text, but that doesn’t make it not fraud.  For that reason, I generate a secure, one-time on-line account number for my DISCOVER card (they provide this very handy service) before paying for any such thing.  If they try charging again, zap! Charge declined.  Also, I’ve got this very special setup which sends the following notice to such fraudulent parties:

WARNING: You have attempted to make a fraudulent charge to the credit card of a consumer who is not prey to such maliciously evil designs as those you harbor against the otherwise unsuspecting public.  Your company title, location, names of primary stakeholders, and Federally obtained transcriptions of all your email communications have been dispatched to thousands of consumer alert web sites which receive a total of tens of millions of visitors daily.  Additionally, venomous moose have been dispatched to your private residence.

I only trust household-name level vendors or web sites to stick to their word on one-time charges.

Okay, those insanely good short trades on the Forex I blogged about two entries ago? These past two hours (early AM) I just did the same thing again, approaching the same amount! – shorting the same pair again!

And.. I’ll stop bragging.

But I’m on fire. I just think I best stop before I burn something down. Or maybe just make sure I have a large fire extinguisher handy.

[update 03-31-2010: except that the market is staying irrational longer than a short-seller can stay solvent.  I'm not in the stock market presently..]

Things appear to be finally, undeniably set up for a major market move down (in the New York Stock Exchange), probably toward the end of today’s trading, or early tomorrow. A market can only be insanely overbought for so long.

I’ll be all too happy for this, as the sideways market has been driving me crazy to the point of simply not wanting to pay any attention anymore. Nevertheless, a few days ago I set up a moderately small short position against the Russell 2000 Index, by buying the TZA, which aims to produce triple the inverse of said Index. At the moment TZA is up a fair amount from where I bought it.

I woke up early this morning unable to sleep. I booted up my computer and started up MetaTrader, which connects to my live Forex trading account. (The Forex Robots – see my past two entries – have still been doing amazingly well for me.)

Tangent: show

I looked at the chart for the USDCAD pair (US and Canadian Dollars), and their MACD and momentum technical indicators. The MACD showed negative divergence on the 1, 15, and 30 minute charts (blah blah, I know this sounds like Star Trek or something). They all had a lot of momentum. The 5 minute chart showed positive divergence, but I thought it was lying.

I opened a moderately pricey short position on the pair (still very conservative for my entire portfolio balance).

Within minutes the pair took a steep dive (for a short position, this is good). I opened another short position. The fast diving trend continued. I opened another, the trend still continued, I closed the first trade for a profit, and I repeated this process several times until, seeing the persistence and strength of the trend, I opened another relatively fat (for me) position.

I watched the fat position the longest before closing it just recently, for nearly as much profit as all the other closed trades this morning combined.
