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.
$PNNB
Pinnacle Bank of Oregon (OTC: PNNB.OB) fell to the economic meltdown in February 2009 but was taken over by Washington Trust Bank shortly after. Although The Dean found no news or business updates worth talking about, $PNNB gained 883.33% and climbed right to the pinnacle of The Dean’s Honor Roll today.
$OPTZ
Optimized Transportation Management (OTC: OPTZ.OB) is a Pittsburgh-based transportation and logistics provider. Besides the fact that $OTPZ moved up 183.02% today, The Dean believes $OPTZ investors are optimistic about the company’s agreement to purchase Light Express, Inc., plans to expand its logistic business and increase its gross revenues and profit margin.
$SJQUE
San Joaquin Bancorp (OTC: SJQUE.OB) provides professional and personal banking services to small and medium-sized businesses and has operated branches in California for nearly 30 years. Seeing that $SJQUE filed for bankruptcy in October, today’s gain of 150% certainly gave shareholders something to be thankful about before year’s end.
$SGOG
Sterling Oil & Gas Exploration (OTC: SGOG.OB) is an exploration, development and acquisition company sitting on 77,125 acres of undeveloped land in Montana and Wyoming. The Dean noticed $SGOG hasn’t released any news or business updates since October but the stock gained 121% today—not too soggy.
$ICPR
ICP Solar Technologies (OTC: ICPR.OB) is a developer and marketer of solar panels, solar monitoring and power management solutions. This afternoon, $ICPR announced its 2010 growth strategy, which includes an entrance into the solar energy utility sector and a letter of intent to acquire 9% of a photovaltaic solar facility in Germany. As a result, $ICPR closed the day 58% in the green—and that’s certainly honorable enough to make The Dean’s Honor Roll.
And The Dean just wouldn’t be The Dean, if he didn’t point out a stock that fell flat on its face:
$NILA
Nilam Resources, Inc. (OTC: NILA.OB) is a gold mining company operating in Peru. The Dean certainly didn’t see $NILA finding any gold today, falling 78.67% to a mere $0.16.
Hang your head low $NILA 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.
