College Stock: Penny Stock News

In an effort to bring the CollegeStock Community fresh content about the small cap markets and world of penny stocks, The Dean is kicking off The Dean’s Daily Honor Roll of picks on the move.

$BGTH
The Dean learned that BridgeTech Holdings (OTC: BGTH.OB) “does not have significant operations.” But The Dean did manage to find that the company focuses on the transfer of medical drugs, devices and diagnostics from the United States to China. Based on $BGTH‘s financials, the company must have bought a bridge to China because they’re more than $50 million in debt. Despite these factoids, $BGTH gained 200% on hefty volume of 3,363,551 shares.

$SYMBA
No, not that scrawny cartoon lion conjured up by Disney (NYSE: DIS), The Dean’s talking about Symbollan Pharmaceuticals (OTC: SYMBA.OB), a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops and commercializes molecular iodine products for women’s healthcare and antimicrobial uses. This bulletin board stock is also in debt but gained 145.61% today.

$TLCV
TLV Vision Corporation (NASDAQ: TLCV) is an eye care services company providing, let me see, eye care and doctor services in the United States and Canada. Even though Pepsi’s (NYSE: PEP) Gatorade dropped Tiger Woods like a bad habit, $TLCV has decided to keep Tiger off the couch and out of the woods, putting $TLCV 41.84% on the green.

$MPG
After market close Wednesday, Maguire Properties (NYSE: MPG) announced the completion of two sales worth $195 million, wiping out the company’s loan debt and adding $19 million to $MPG‘s bank account. Trading over 3 million shares on the day, The Dean watched $MPG take off as much as 24% before slowing down and watching the grass grow 21% higher than last night.

$RAD
Depending on where you live in the United States, you may or may not be familiar with a small pharmacy retailer know as Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD). Of course, The Dean’s being sarcastic because $RAD has more than 4,900 stores selling 28,000 products in 31 states. Today, $RAD reported that the cutting of costs may have softened 3rd Quarter losses but the company’s CFO discussed closing locations later in the afternoon. Despite the upcoming closing of 134 additional stores in 2010, 28,866,917 shares were traded bringing $RAD up 13% to $1.51 today.

And The Dean just wouldn’t be The Dean, if he didn’t point out a stock that fell flat on its face:

$SRRE
Sunrise Real Estate Group (OTC: SRRE.OB) fell 93.88% today and The Dean’s sure that the only sunrise this company’s seeing in their future is tomorrow’s hangover remedy concocted with crappy tequila.

Hang your head low $SRRE and make your way to the corner to find a funny-looking, cone-shaped hat with your name on it because you’re officially The Dean’s Dunce of the Day!

Stay tuned for more movers, shakers, name takers and, of course, The Dean’s Dunce of the Day tomorrow.
