Good Day SCN Members...

Yesterday's close proved a good solid day in the market and it appears to be making an attempt to provide some follow through as I write right now. I suspect we'll see a pretty decent move into the close. This market has been beaten up without any sort of relief rally, so my suspicions are we'll see more to the upside before we run into any significant resistant.

As far as I'm concerned though, I've got something that I believe is going to end up making investors a lot more money in the long run than trading the market indexes. I want to bring your attention to a pretty significant event that took place this morning with one of our Featured Stocks... CommerceTel (MFON). The Company came out on the open announcing the appointment of David Jaques to their board of Directors. This is a HUGE endorsement for CommerceTel and what it means to their growth in the mobile marketing space. Jaques is the former CFO of Pay Pal, which we're all familiar with. In the Company's early stages, Jaques established Pay Pal's financial planning and accounting processes, was instrumental in raising three rounds of private equity financing totaling $140 million and coordinated the merger of PayPal, Inc. with X.com Corporation which resulted in a $680 million valuation. He's got a very impressive pedigree. I've enclosed this morning's press release below in its entirety so you can read the details.

Good day to you all... Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Appears my call on a market wide rally was spot on Friday, however, we're not out of the woods yet. We need some follow through to launch any sort of sustainable rally. It appears the strength will continue to be tech if we can get some momentum here. I'm not one to dwell on economics so I'll just reiterate that it would surprise me tremendously if the Europeans let their current monetary policies negatively affect the markets over there. I say this only because the media pundits continue to make it the reasons the market trades every day, which just isn't true. I'm a firm believer that much of the noise surrounding stuff like this is already baked into the markets. There are just too many genius economists and big money players out there that know the outcome well in advance of your average CNBC talking head. For now, my two cents is to buy the dips and sell the rips for some quick trading profits.

If you're curious what I play, when I'm interested in trading the market indexes as a whole, I prefer in the money one month or two month out calls or puts in the QQQ's, SPY's or DIA's depending on what I think the market is going to do at the time. And, I don't hold them long. Remember, options erode with time, so never hang on unless you are well in the money and your profits are running in the right direction.

Hey All... Hope your Thanksgiving was as good as mine. There's always something very comforting and peaceful about being around the whole family on Holidays. Salt of the Earth, stuff if you ask me.

Seen your local department stores over the last few days? I'm not sure there's a difference between Black Friday and Occupy Wall Street, except that Black Friday campers at least have a purpose. We're actually starting to think camping tent sales are going to exceed fourth quarter expectations! See here for yourself.

On to more important issues than tent sales... Although the markets appear ugly on the surface over the last few days, I'm fairly certain we'll see a tradable rally soon. With that in mind, I see a few small stock charts that are shaping up for what could be pretty decent trades with very little downside risk.

Alright guys, as promised to you, we've got our second of three great small cap ideas being unveiled today.

The consumer technology sector is back. There's no two ways about it. It's not like it used to be, however, when hardware ruled all. The 'new' technology sector is defined most and best by mobile marketing, social media, and cloud computing. Of the three though, mobile marketing is going to serve up the biggest investment opportunities. The numbers are just nuts.

Happy Saturday everyone. I know it's been a very long time since you heard from me on a Saturday (July 2nd, to be exact), so the fact that you're reading this now - today - should suggest to you something noteworthy is going on.

Well, as it turns out, there is. I'll tell you about it in a second. First I want to ask you.... how 'bout that AtheroNova (AHRO)? It's up a whopping 45% since we told you all about it before Thursday's open. Nice. Hope you were in.
