With all the new trading ideas we've been finding for you, we haven't had much of a chance to revisit some of older ones. Well that's going to change today though, as we review some of the names we haven't touched on in a while. We think you may find some renewed opportunity now that the earnings dust is starting to settle. No need for chatter - let's just dig right in.   Will The Third Time Be The Charm For Clearly Canadian? Are Clearly Canadian Beverage Corp. (OTCBB: CCBEF) shares establishing a triple-bottom? We think they might be, although only time will really tell. The 20 day moving average line (blue) appears to have guided the stock lower after it topped out in June at $4.55, but over the course of the last three months, we've also observed a support floor (orange) between $2.10 and $2.20.  Even though we think the resistance at the 20 day line would be the most immediate worry for the bulls, we also think there's more brewing at the $2.10 area than a mere coincidence. After all, this downtrend has had three chances to push shares under that line, with the third attempt still in the works. Like we said, only time can really tell where this chart is headed next, but we'd be amiss if we didn't at least offer the idea that a triple-bottom here could possibly lead to a recovery effort. If it is indeed a triple-bottom - and we think we should know within a handful of days - then we feel it could make the current level an attractive entry area for so-inclined speculators.    Tech, Tech, and More Tech You know how we've said recently a company's performance isn't always necessarily reflected on its stock's chart? We think On The Go Technologies (OTCBB: ONGO) may be a fine example of the idea. However, we also know the disconnection is rarely permanent - an important idea, we feel, for anyone interested in ONGO shares.  What got our attention? Big buying volume on Thursday, apparently out of nowhere. We saw 172,000 shares exchange hands that day, which was the single biggest volume day we've ever seen for On The Go. With shares moving up by 12.7% on that high volume, we think something significant could be going on.  In the interest of a complete opinion, we still think this stock includes substantial risk. And, a quick glance at its recent history verifies the concern, as the chart has moved from $10 in June to 89 cents as of today. However, in our opinion, the best time to own shares can be when hardly anyone else seems interested. Fundamentally, the company is making positive strides, so a potential catalyst is in place. And, we feel there may be other buyers just biding their time to scoop up a stock that's 90% lower than where it was just five months ago, especially if the company can continue to build on its trend towards profitability. While there's still some technical damage that would need to be undone, we feel On The Go's recent leveling off at new lows could provide risk-tolerant speculators an interesting opportunity.  Commerce Planet (OTCBB: CPNE) has actually been covered pretty well of late, so we don't want to be repetitive. But, there are a couple of things about the chart we feel are well worth noting...regardless of their incredible revenue and earnings performance.  First, and perhaps foremost, the 50 day moving average (orange) may well be the line in the sand for some traders. Although shares traded under that level briefly over the last three weeks, by and large, we think it's held up as support. In our opinion, this bodes well for the stock. And it doesn't hurt that they saw big earnings and revenue increases last quarter, which we've seen prod some buying in the past. Second, for shorter-term traders, we feel the 3x3 displaced moving average (blue) has been an effective tool to spot all the chart transitions from 'zig' to 'zag'. Currently, it's at $1.48, versus shares being at $1.45. We think it's a tool worth utilizing if you have a charting program with the feature.  Our Web2 Corp. (OTCBB: WBTO) profile was only issued a few weeks ago because, for all practical purposes, the company was only launched a few weeks ago. Although the stock has been trading since 2004, the company was still building its revenue modules until very recently. In fact, we covered the beginnings of their Chamber of E-Commerce, and ByIndia.com.  What's that got to do with anything? If you're hesitant to buy the stock of a company with no revenue, we can't say we entirely blame you. But on the flip side, we also have to point out that may not be the situation with Web2 Corp. anymore - the company is up and running now. If you liked the direction Web2 Corp. was headed in our other commentary, and if you think those fundamentals will eventually show up in the stock's trading level, then we feel the current price of about $1 may be attractive to you. It's at the lower end of the short-term range, and close to being an all-time low.    Sporting Goods, From Boards to Boats Execute Sports (OTCBB: EXCS), in our opinion, remains one of the better opportunities out there for speculators. We've watched the company develop some major partnerships, acquire all sorts of talented people, and go out and grow revenue. Yet, this stock hasn't gotten much if any love this year. Well, we're not saying things have changed just yet for the stock, but there's a noticeable shift in volume...to the buying side. On the nearby chart, we're now seeing a lot more (and taller) green volume bars. Does somebody know something? Could be, or maybe the right investors have finally started seeing the same things we've been seeing.  The potential trump card, we feel, is resistance again at the 20 day moving average line (purple). It's at 6.1 cents right now, compared to EXCS's trading level of 4 cents. All the same, our take is that it's an opportunity at least worth monitoring.  Xtreme Companies (OTCBB: XTME) shares may not have had the strongest summer, but if this stock fell off your radar, we think you might want to consider putting it back on. While XTME hasn't had much luck in moving higher again just yet, it's not falling anymore...which we think is at least a good start on the road to a rebound. The 3.5 cent area seems to be the happy medium between the sellers and buyers right now.  So why our renewed interest in what looks like a sideways trend? There are some underlying things happening that got our attention. In October we saw a relatively big 'accumulation' day, and then another one in November. And for the first time in months, we're starting to see meaningful trading activity above the 50 day line (blue). Subtle, and arguable? Yes to both. However, we still think it's worth watching to see if anything comes of it. After all, this performance-boat company appears to have a viable turn-around plan in the works.    Last But Not Least, Today's Only Biotech  BioCurex Inc. (OTVBB: BOCX) shares may finally be in a bullish mode again, at least from our interpretation of the chart. From our point of view, the higher highs and higher lows framed by the blue support and resistance lines on the nearby chart suggest this stock could be getting primed for a recovery. Granted, the trip back and forth between those lines could make you seasick, but on the other hand, this is probably the kind of chart most 'traders' live for. Note that almost every reversal within that framework has coincided with a stochastically overbought or oversold situation. If the pattern is still in place, then we feel it's possible the recent support at the lower line could be providing an attractive opportunity.  What's not quite as evident on the chart is the longer-term support we've observed around the 50 cent level. Not only was it the absolute bottom so far for 2006 (not once, but twice), we also saw BOCX bottom there twice in 2004. Based on the history this stock seems to have with that line, it's possible that the July and August lows at the same mark could have even bigger bullish implications than the short-term trading range we've plotted.  There are a few more companies we've still got on our radar that we didn't have space to cover today, so look for those in an upcoming edition.

In Phase I and Phase II testing, the treatment has been proven to be very effective.  Unfortunately, Multikine has yet to be approved for Phase III trials in the United States - the final phase in the FDA approval process. It has been waiting on Phase III approval for 22 month. By comparison, the Canadian equivalent to the FDA approved Phase III trials just two months after filing the request.  In the meantime, U.S. cancer patients whose only hope may be Multikine are dying, having never even been able to attempt the experimental treatment. They're dying while waiting on a bureaucracy to just allow a wider-scale, more in-depth Phase III trials.  Whether or not you own, or plan to own, CEL-SCI shares is irrelevant. This isn't about money. This is about medical progress that can possibly save lives....perhaps that of a family member, perhaps yours.  There is something you can do.  Click here for specific details on the situation, and tolearn how to write in to the FDA Commissioner and urge a rapid decision on Phase III testing.    Immune Response Extends Warrant Time Frame Immune Response (OTCBB: IMNR) announced this week the second set of warrants, issued through their March financing, would be extended past their original expiration date of November 30th. The same warrants will now expire on March 1st, 2007.  This tranche of warrants - the second set established by the deal set up earlier in the year - could potentially inject $12,000,000 into the company's operating fund via the sale of up to 600 million shares, at 2 cents each. Each share issued through the warrants would be a newly issued share, adding to the current float of about 850 million shares.  As for what it means to investors, click here to read our opinion.   Healthcare Stocks Not Looking Too Healthy To Us Although slightly off our beaten path of 'strictly small cap', we thought this observation could still possibly make you - or at least save you - some money.....we don't think healthcare is such a great place to be right now.  This sector is dragging the bottom in the 2-week and 1-month time frames. It's only ahead of two other sectors (energy and utilities) in a 3-month timeframe, and is next to last in the 52-week performance column. A chart of the S&P Healthcare Sector Index (HCX) verified our suspicions.

They saw $9.7 million in sales in their Q3, with $3.1 million in profits. For the same quarter last year, they only posted $1.7 million in sales, and lost $2.1 million.  Equally impressive is the increase in margin. Clearing $1.4 million on $7 million in sales last quarter translates into a margin of 20%. The $3.1 million in cleared earnings on 9.7 million in sales this quarter means profit margins went to 32%.
