Stock Under 5 Cents Reports Surge in Revenues and Profit

On the evening of Monday, December 20, 2004, the next edition of Penny Stock Alert, a monthly stock research bulletin published by CanStock Information Services Corp. (www.canstock.com), will highlight a company that recently reported revenues of approximately $US900,000 and net earnings of a US$56,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Sales increased by about US$653,000 or 267% and profitability improved by US$228,000 over the Q3 results recorded in the prior year.

This penny stock is liquid and currently trading under 5 cents on a Canadian stock exchange.

Strong Track Record in Depressed Market

Despite the depressed state of the stock market in Canada, Penny Stock Alert members have recently been afforded the opportunity to capitalize on the tremendous share price appreciation of the companies profiled in the publication.

Envoy Communications Corp. (ECG.WT:TSX), which was profiled in the August 2004 edition when it was trading at 6 cents, rocketed to the 16 cent mark on November 29, 2004, a gain of over 180% in three months !

OntZinc Corp. (OTZ:TSX), which was featured in the September 2004 edition when the company was trading 5.5 cents, hit a high of 17 cents on October 20, 2004, a gain of over 190% in one month !

Quality Penny Stocks … In Demand

Penny stocks afford the opportunity for investors to realize spectacular percentage returns.

As you can imagine, the rise of even a few cents in the price of a stock that's currently trading at 5 cents would translate into a substantial percentage gain.

In general, substantially less investor interest and purchasing power is necessary for a stock to move from 5 cents to 15 cents than for a stock to rise from $5 to $15, all other things being constant.

Penny stocks are often labeled in the press as being too speculative and risky. Yet even companies that are now considered to be "bluechip" stocks often started their existence on a junior stock exchange and traded under $1.

Normally, there are a number of good reasons why a company's shares are trading in the pennies (i.e. poor financial performance, heavy debt position, pessimistic industry outlook, etc.).

There are always a few exceptions though - companies whose financial performance and prospects are improving, and where management is genuinely interested in developing a successful business rather than merely promoting a situation that is not feasible from an economic standpoint.

Penny Stock Alert aims to present to you such exceptions.

Penny Stock Alert - A New Publication, But Not A New Emphasis

Since the three monthly publications (Buy Low, Sell High !, Canadian Oil & Gas Stocks Review, and Canadian Growth Stocks Review) focus exclusively on companies that have already reported strong revenues and earnings, there had previously been no opportunity for CanStock to inform its loyal subscribers of emerging situations where strong profitability or asset growth is anticipated but has yet to be reported, until recently.

The emerging companies profiled in Penny Stock Alert should be viewed as a means of achieving further diversification, not a substitute for a sound portfolio of highly profitable companies.
