Buy Wobistics!

  • That was the line muttered by one of Tony Soprano’s underlings in an episode in Season 1 of The Soprano’s.  Tony put Christopher Moltisanti in charge of a stock buying effort, or more aptly put, a stock buying coercion effort at a local NJ brokerage company attempting to drive the price up of the fictitious company, Wobistics.  (I am unsure of the spelling). 

    The death of James Gandolfini got all of us The Sopranos fans reminiscing about our favorite episodes.  This was one of my favorites, as literally, these goons were in the brokerage office verbally and physically threatening the brokers and advisors in the office to have clients buy the stock.  It was hilarious in a black comedy sense.

    The actor’s death and yesterday’s massive sell-off, fueled for the most part by Uncle Ben’s announcement that bond buying will taper, may demonstrate the need for some levity. Call it whatever you want, but his words were just a thinly veiled message that the QE will ease as the unemployment improves.

    There are a couple of points to make here. 

    First, there is one abstract thought here to ponder.  Are we so dependent on government fiscal policy to determine our outlook for the future?  If that is the case, then there may be a lot more to worry about then a big sell-off on Wall Street.  And can Christopher meet with Uncle ben to talk to him about this? (Just kidding.)

    Second, after yesterday, sometimes it may feel to John and Jane Q investor that unless you are on the inside or run a scheme like Tony Soprano, you are fighting an uphill battle and that Wall Street is only for insiders and guys like Bernie Madoff.

    We are here to say that picking stocks, particularly small cap stocks offer the satellite portion of your core/satellite portfolio the largest opportunity for alpha return.  While these trades or investments are risky, the pay off can be huge.

    There are four areas where we try and help the average retail investor.  First, our Opportunity Research provides detailed reports of companies that may be the next Google.  This sponsored research is usually for companies listed on OTC markets and with stock prices typically under $1.  In a sense, a number of these firms are at a venture stage, which makes it difficult to discern a potential loser from a winner. Still, we believe the risk/reward is in your favor and our track record has been pretty good considering the percentage of firms that frankly don’t make it.

    Second, our daily Market Monitor is a free service that we provide to our basic subscribers.  We usually offer up at least a few stock picks per week.  Our objective is to provide you with non-sponsored ideas on listed small cap and microcap stocks for either a quick trade to take advantage of sector rotation and themes. By the way, we have highlighted nearly 60 stocks this year and 37 are in the green with 11 posting a 30% gain year-to-date.

    Third, our The Goldman Guide weekly newsletter just celebrated its three-year anniversary.  With so many sources to draw from, and so much to read we try to whittle down key themes that may or not be addressed regarding the broad market, provide trading and investing tips, along with a stock profile or two.

    Finally The 30-30 Report is our monthly subscription service where we perform enhanced due diligence to try and provide three stocks we believe will climb 30% in 30 days.  Like our Market Monitor and Goldman Guide, the stocks profiled here are purely derived from out idea generation and due diligence. To brag a little here, our picks from My 2012 – May 2013 were up 41% for the year compared to the Russell 2000 increase of 28% as of the end of May.  Our May picks were up over 6% on average versus the less than 1% for the Russell 2000 in that one bad month.  We are still offering a bargain basement rate of $49 for the entire year until the end of June for the 30-30 Report.  Go to the homepage and check it out!

    The bottom line is we ‘got your back’. Bada-bing!

    Have a great weekend.
