The Dean’s SuperChirps Making Honors Students Some Honorable Gains

August 6th, 2009 Posted by The Dean 9 Comments »

ivob-12Want real life examples of how SuperChirps are the best value on the internet for an embarrassingly low fee of $9.87 / month?

On July 15th The Dean sent a “SuperChirp” to 109 Honors Students. The message read:

TheDean: I’m on the phone with $IVOB shareholders talking about an advertising campaign coming up soon.”

At the time of the initial SuperChirp, IVOB was trading at $0.10 and today the stock closed at $0.31 for a gain of 210% within 3 weeks.

Now its August 6th and The Dean still hasn’t taught the entire student body about IVOB!

And its not just 6 blockbuster blogs to be disseminated throughout all corners of the internet starting this weekend. The Dean is also planning:

- A 2 minute Micro Cap Movie that will be so amazing that The Dean’s competitors will begin copycats right away.
- An upcoming television segment on the Wide World of Stocks featuring IVOB in a segment that will never be forgotten.
- One Stock Wiki that will have people questioning why IVOB isn’t a $100 million company already.

All of this is coming very soon and Honors Students have known about it for 3 weeks already! What are you waiting for? It’s the Ivy League of Investing for an embarrassingly low $9.87/month!

The Real Value of Being An Honors Student

July 21st, 2009 Posted by The Dean 1 Comment »

The Dean is always working overtime to deliver Honors Students the most profitable penny stocks well in advance of any other newsletter. In fact, The Dean often says “no thank you” to penny stock advertisers that do not place The Dean first in line for new media campaigns.

It takes a lot of hard work to deliver this kind of “Barely Legal Inside Information” to The Dean’s Honors Students and its only available for $9.87/month until Labor Day 2009 (price increase coming soon).

The trick to profiting from penny stocks is to know about future advertising campaigns before they actually happen. Take June 10th, for instance, back on that day The Dean sent out the most profitable Superchirp on record

“The Dean will be a part of 2 big promotional campaigns in the next 2 weeks (CGCA & VRAL) “

Back then, VRAL was trading at $0.02 and since then it has hit a high of $0.13 for a gain of 550%!!

Back then,  CGCA was trading at $0.50 and since then it has hit a high of $1.24 for a gain of 148%.  And no, The Dean didn’t give out 15 other picks as well, it was all about VRAL and CGCA.

The Dean already has 118 very happy Honors Students and the response from the Honors Class has been so overwhelming that beginning Labor Day 2009, The Dean will begin charging $39.87 /month to become an Honors Student.

Act now and you can be locked in for just $9.87 /month — Don’t take my word for it, check out some of these testimonials:

The Dean Tells Students Why Not To Wait On VRAL

July 20th, 2009 Posted by The Dean No Comments »

Instead of just sitting around and thinking of ways not to get in on $VRAL, The Dean’s here to tell you to get in early and do your homework before Phase 1 FDA trials begin for the VGV-1 injectable drug. There have been a couple of surges on $VRAL that many of The Dean’s Honors Students have already cashed in on.

Did you know that there were over 550,000 cancer deaths last year in the United States alone?

Even more striking, is that over 30 million people in the world are living with HIV and AIDS. With that many people infected, the figures grow in number each year. In fact, over the past 5 years, 2 million HIV and AIDS related deaths have been recorded on average each year.

Now, The Dean isn’t here to dwell in the negative. There are no limits to where positive thinking can take you, especially in the speculative market.

Rather, The Dean is here to tell you that $VRAL is not only researching and developing drugs and treatments for infectious, autoimmune and immunological deficiency diseases, but they are also working to pursue and identify specific proteins that will help in the early-detection of HIV and cancer. Detection and treatment? It sounds to me like they are not playing around. And you shouldn’t either.

It’s clear to The Dean that $VRAL is serious about finding solutions to help people live longer, healthier lives. Diseases such as HIV/AIDS and cancer are not going anywhere anytime soon. But with the types of medical advancements and product development in store at Viral Genetics, Inc., you can be sure that $VRAL is a smart pick.

The Dean’s Book Reviews: The Wallstrip Edge By Howard Lindzon

July 9th, 2009 Posted by The Dean 4 Comments »

“Howard Lindzon’s ‘The WallStrip Edge’ is an absolutely fantastic book for all Honors Students.” -The Dean

Book Review for The Wallstrip Edge by Howard Lindzon:

You need to start thinking that there are no boundaries to what can be done by someone with an idea and a will to succeed- from any corner of the earth.” (page 185)

Howard Lindzon’s premise for The Wallstrip Edge is very simple: You Can Use Trends to Make Money. Throughout the book he explains an investment strategy that he coined as ‘trend-following’. He proposes that you can become a very successful investor if you maintain a strict focus on 3 things: (1) canceling out 100% of life’s ‘noise’ including TV, (2) constantly seeking out opportunities while maintaining a ‘glass-as-half-full’ mentality and (3) following stocks that are trading at 52-week highs.

The book is entertaining, easy to read, and is packed with mainstream references including Seinfeld in order to help every Average Joe reader understand concepts in an easy-to-grasp manner. Howard Lindzon is a very talented writer and uses the same writing style that’s helped him generate thousands of dedicated followers at his blog @ HowardLindzon.com.

He uses many of his own life experiences in The Wallstrip Edge in order to teach the concept of trend-following and he’s 100% transparent about his past & present investments—both his home-runs and embarrassing flops alike. Some of the book’s best lessons come from Howard’s failures as an investor and his openness, honesty and ability to poke fun at himself kept me very engaged as a reader.

The book covers a wide variety of topics but Howard always finds a way to relate the content back to his central theme of trend-following. The last few chapters of the book serve as Howard’s “trends to watch” and his personal insight into social networking trends have inspired me to act immediately. Why? Because in his opinion social networking (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc.) is the faster-than-a-speeding-bullet train that’s leaving the station right as I type this book review.

The Wallstrip Edge is a book that every entrepreneur and investor must own. It’s a great tool that’s given me both ‘real world’ education and plenty of inspiration to act. It would have been nice to read more of Howard’s thoughts regarding his exit strategy for Wallstrip the show… especially since he emphasizes the importance of selling the trend. But considering that’s my only complaint after finishing the book I’m very pleased to have invested my time in The Wallstrip Edge by Howard Lindzon.

Key Takeaways:

(1) Shut off your TV and all other “push” content and start focusing on web-enabled content you can choose to “pull” in.

(2) Be sure to have an exit strategy in mind whenever you invest and always remember the importance of selling.

(3) The world is always flushed with opportunities- whether it’s a bull or bear market.

(4) Right now the internet is the 500 lbs. guerilla in the room and there are enormous profits waiting to be made.

(5) Anyone with an idea has the ability to change the world with the right resources and work-ethic.

The Dean’s Ham & Eggs w/ Timothy Sykes

March 24th, 2009 Posted by The Dean No Comments »

On Thursday morning (3/26/09) I’m grabbing breakfast with the Timothy Sykes of TimothySykes.com. He’s on a west coast business trip vacation and I’m excited to meet the man who’s portfolio gained 250% during the Great Recession.

According to the Wikinvest.com Entry for Timothy Sykes:

Timothy Sykes (born 1981, Orange, CT) is an American investor, business person, and former hedge fund manager, featured in the reality television show Wall Street Warriors, and is author of the book, “An American Hedge Fund: How I Made $2 Million as a Stock Operator & Created a Hedge Fund”.

His trading strategy is to profit by buying into the hype and manipulation in low priced stocks and then short selling when the hype and manipulation fades. This dual strategy made Timothy a millionaire before his 22nd birthday–he turned $12,415 in Bar Mitzvah gift money into $1.65 million–and earned him 197% in 2008, leading him to become the top-ranked investor, out of 15,000+ on Covestor.com. He’s an active trader/blogger at http://www.TimothySykes.com.

It’s common sense that his penny stock scalping strategy (mostly short selling) would perform extremely well during the Great Recession… but the kid has talent that nobody can deny.

During breakfast I’m most interested in getting details on his private coaching lessons. Believe it or not, any investor can sit down with Sykes (in his chic NYC studio) and learn about his strategy in real-time for a measly $3,297.00 :)

In my opinion, it’s a great deal for anyone trading with an account worth +$25,000 and for the first time in a while… The Dean will be learning (not teaching) in the classroom!

Check out this testimonial from one of Timothy Sykes’ private students that was recently written about @ TimothySykes.com:

Its not your stock picks that has helped me. What’s helped me the most is watching you trade. I knew patterns before and how to trade, but lacked the discipline and patience. I tended to overtrade especially when I had closed a losing position. What I learned most is when you send an alert, how people overact, and handle there emotions. A person can be a potential great trader, but never realize it because the individual lacks the psychology. I am up 14% this year just because of your transparency and willingness to be straight forward and truthful about the way markets function.

I’ll let everyone know how the meeting goes (and who picks up the tab).

The Dean’s Wiki’s @ http://www.Wikinvest.com

March 16th, 2009 Posted by The Dean No Comments »

I’ve been spending a lot of my free time writing Stock Wiki’s on OTCBB companies @ http://www.Wikinvest.com. It’s the new “Wikipedia for Stocks” and so far i’m one of the only contributors for OTCBB-listed companies. Let me explain to you why my investment (in hours) will pay off big-time.

You see Wikinvest.com does a fantastic job giving credit to contributors (see right). So far my name & URL has been posted to about 550 OTCBB-related pages as a “Top Contributor” and that # should exceed 1k by June ‘09.

The chart below measures traffic data for http://www.Wikinvest.com as of 3/14/09 gathered by Quantcast. Considering the website just launched in Nov ‘08 and its already exceeding 3.3m unique visitors monthly… very soon it could be one of the biggest financial portals on the internet and my investment (in hours) could pay off big time.

Would you invest in a stock with growth like this? I WOULD!

So far the best Wiki’s i’ve made are:

WWAG @ http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/WWAG

GTXO @ http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/GTXO

CBAI @ http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/CBAI

MDVX @ http://www.wikinvest.com/wiki/MDVX

If you have a particular OTCBB stock that you’d like me to build a Wiki for…. CONTACT ME!

P.S. Wikinvest.com has great tools for bloggers including free stock widgets, quote plug-in’s and news feeds and IMO its def worth checking out ASAP!

Surprise! Google Launches Beta Version of Google Chrome Early

September 2nd, 2008 Posted by The Dean No Comments »

Google (GOOG) has launched a Beta version of their take on the modern browser, and programmers at Safari, Firefox, and Microsoft (MSFT) had better take note.  All bright and shiny, the Chrome is making waves in the industry, and could change the way we look at computing.  On the surface, Chrome looks like just another browser.  But dig deeper and you find what promises to be on of the best cloud-computing systems to come out in some time.

So why should anyone be excited?  Chrome will serve as a browser, just like Internet Explorer and all the others.  But early peeks at the program show that there are some incredibly cool new features that just might make competitors wave a white flag and beg for mercy – or step up to the plate and produce. Google Chrome will include a browser, Google Gears, which includes a host of online and offline apps such as email, messaging, chat, etc. Google desktop search, Google Earth, and Open source development platform. For the most part, your computer will be transformed into a seamlessly integrated Google software environment that’s kinda like Windows – but aims to be better.

Use of Google Chrome promises to make Google’s (and the competitor’s) online application and games easier to use and provide a richer overall experience.  It will be capable of running directly on any device with or without Windows. And the best part – IT WILL BE FREE! Given a few years time, it will come pre-loaded on all new computers and devices with internet capability, just like Windows does. Something tells me Microsoft (MSFT) is heading for some hard times.  Google Chrome’s beta version is set to launch sometime today in over a hundred countries, and the rumor mill reports that it could be available after 2 PM Eastern time. Windows users can download Google Chrome here but unfortunately Apple users (The Dean included) must wait.
