The Junk Mail Graveyard
A division of The Junk Mail Stock Watch

The Junk Mail Stock Watch began on June 15, 2007. When I didn't get any advertising for a stock in a year, I moved the stock from The Junk Mail Stock Watch to this page. I put the quotes from the advertisements, and the comments I wrote about them in The Junk Mail Stock Watch, on this page. I got my last piece of stock junk-mail, a "Natural Contrarian", on Saturday, February 21, 2009. The following Monday, the 23rd, I put the subject of it, and the couple of new "buy" listings in the "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap" that came with it, in The Junk Mail Stock Watch.
With the stock-market crunch that hit in 2008, "pump-and-dump" dwindled, and very little stock junk-mail advertising hit the mailboxes. The 2 new buy listings in the last "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap" I got, in my opinion, showed a shift from stock junk-mail advertising telling us about penny-stocks before major stock-brokers could recommend them, to telling us about mainstream stocks when major stock-brokers started recommending them, to be on the safe side. This, of course, wasn't quite as romantic as the novels that were mailed previously.
And so ends The Junk Mail Stock Watch. It's pretty obvious that I hope I never come across another one of these. If I do, and if I have the energy, I will have no choice but to bring it back. As I say:
Don't want me to expose 'em, don't mail 'em. That simple.

You can look on the bottom of the page for a list with the current prices of the stocks.

Universal Travel Group (UTVG.OB)
This is now listed as UTA on AMEX!

After I decided to start this page and wait until I got at least 5 of these advertisements to start it, this was the first one I got. I received this on Apr. 24, 2007.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"The growth rate of the Chinese travel and tourism industry is staggering."

"In April 2005, the Chinese Commercial Aviation Information Network Limited Company signed 'The Simplification Commerce' Cooperation Agreement with IATA. According to that timetable, the percentage of achieving non-paper airline tickets will be 50%, will increase to 60% in 2006; and by the end of 2007, there will be electronic ticketing completely ... Although the percentage of achieving non-paper airplane tickets was only 17% in 2005, there is still a significant market for electronic ticketing to obtain."

"Even Wall Street is excited about the industry as UBS Equities began coverage of CTrip.com with this headline: Chinese Online Travel Leader Ctrip Up on UBS Initiation at "Buy" As that street analyst expects the shares of Nasdaq-listed CTRP to rise to $73 per share over the coming months, even greater growth in share price is expected for UTVG. The value of both stocks is projected to rise based upon continued growth of the industry, but UTVG shares are projected to rise faster due to the undiscovered nature of the company operations. The UTVG investment opportunity simply hasn't been broadcast to the marketplace as has CTRP, thus representing the current undervalued scenario."

Guangzhou Global Telecom (GZGT.OB)

This company's stock has had some pretty successful advertising surrounding it. The ads for the stock have made such business magazines as Forbes & Fortune. Its price per share got well over $2 until it started getting some negative press in early June, even making "Chuck Jaffe's Stupid Investment of the Week", an online "radio show", on June 8. You can hear that in one of the Yahoo links of news items about the stock. Here is some interesting stuff from the now-infamous "Growth Stock Guru" publication plugging the stock, which I received on June 1.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Quietly (the Chinese way), the company has positioned itself perfectly to surf the wave of booming growth within China."

"Realize Short-Term Gains of 200% to 500% in Months If Not Days with My Most Recent Pick - GZGT"

"GZGT is a prime example of a company currently quoted on the NASDAQ OTCBB exchange that could soon be bumped up to a larger exchange ... In a few years GZGT could have more than $100 million in sales and be trading on the major league NASDAQ GS with the likes of MICROSOFT, GOOGLE, and DELL."

"And GZGT is a company that hasn't been discovered - yet. Don't count on that happy situation to last much longer."

"By 'feeding up the food chain' and developing direct relationships with end users, GZGT is moving into higher value businesses where it will 'own the customer' and maximize its profit potential."

"I'm just glad I was fortunate enough to uncover GZGT now, at this early stage in its growth arc, before it becomes a major icon in the Chinese mobile revolution."

At the start of The Junk Mail Stock Watch on June 15, 2007 - $1.11
Fri., June 13, 2008 - 5.5 cents

i-level Media (ILVL.OB)
NOTE: i-Level is now a "pink-sheet" stock, with the symbol ILVL.PK

Another advertisement, like that for UTVG, that doesn't really make a pretense of being a "report". Recieved 6/12/07

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"With China poised to be the next big advertising market and with pending contracts to increase taxis in operation from 5000 to 10000 and adding Beijing as a market, ILVL is on the verge of becoming the next HOT investment in China." (What is it with these advertisers' love affair, except for few exceptions, with either 1. China or 2. uranium?)

"China's advertising industry in on track to become the third largest in the world by 2011 and i-level Media will capture a significant share of advertising budgets."

Score One, Inc. (SREA.OB)

This wasn't one of "The First 6", but since I got the mail for those stocks, I got other mail for them later on. I'll put another one of those here after my last mailing for it was received a year ago. Now, to what I put about this one in "The Junk Mail Stock Watch".

I got this unusual E-Mail on the night of June 21, 2007:

EntreMetrix Corp. (ERMXE.OB)
The company is now NeoTactix Corp. (NTCX.OB)

In Nov., 2007, the ticker symbol changed from ERMX.OB to ERMXE.OB. In December, it changed back to ERMX.OB. On or about Jan. 8, 2008, the company became NeoTactix, NCTX.OB.

I got this E-Mail on Thur., July 5, 2007 at about 2AM, but didn't get around to reading it until the afternoon. It mentions that the stock rose 16.6% to .21. The PDF file attachment which contained the message ended with "Read up on ERMX over the holiday, we think you will see even more fireworks on Thursday morning."

Let's see how things go from here with this one.

July 6, 2007 - .18
Mar. 19, 2008 (the last day the stock traded) - 4.5 cents

Acro Inc.(ACRI.OB)

On Wed., July 25, 2007, I received "The Natural Contrarian" newsletter dated "4th week - July 2007". The pick of this issue - of course - Acro Inc. (called "Acro Security-Tech" in this newsletter)

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Before you finish reading this report - This 50-Cent Stock could be above $5"

"As Acro's P.E.T. sensor stops the liquid explosives threat: Tax dollars will be saved & the world commerce protected"

"April 2007 - USA: Of the 2,000 P.E.T. units Acro shipped to America for testing, the most important results come from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security"

"3 Factors that can drive ACRI to $100 per share
1 Acro's ability to greatly reduce costs required to protect our points of mass transit
2 The next terrorist with homemade liquid explosives stopped cold by Acro Security-Tech
3 A favorable evaluation from the U.S. Transportation Security Laboratory"

"ACRI is equipped to be the fastest Homeland-Security stock to reach $100"

"Acro: America's only defense against liquid explosives
ACRI shareholders can expect a long profit-run"

"In the very near future, I project that Acro will expand the speed and efficiency of its P.E.T. sensor with laser and ultrasound capabilities. The day is coming when a giant stadium filled with people or a cargo ship can be scanned with a wave of a bomb-detecting wand. I have no doubt that Acro will be at the lead of this applied technology."

"Acro Security-Tech currently trades below the $1 level because its substantial advances have occured outside the United States. Yet, the Acro story is set to become big news here at home - so expect the ACRI share price to start its extended upward march very soon."

"60 days ago - I began my countdown to the day I expect the U.S. Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) to issue a favorable evaluation of Acro's P.E.T. bomb-detection device now being tested on U.S. soil." (One question: How long did he give it? He doesn't say.)

"When Acro officially launches in the United States, the 'cheap' ACRI shares below $5 will likely be gone forever - Make sure you own ACRI now up to the $1 level."

"Acro's P.E.T. device could have stopped "shoe bomber" Richard Reid BEFORE he boarded the plane!"

"My number one priority is guiding YOU to excessive wealth with an early position in Acro Security-Tech (ACRI)." (Contrast this with the fine print that says "This publication is not, and should not be construed to be, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security.")

"As an American citizen and former U.S. Marine, I'm excited about the 'human element' of the Acro stock-story - saving the lives of untold thousands of freedom-loving individuals by foiling the evil plots of extremists.

Yet, as your Contrarian stock-market guru, I must set aside emotion and focus on the profitable upside of owning ACRI at current ground-floor levels below $1.

My projection of ACRI surging above $100 within 12 to 24 months is based on the $Billions in cost-savings Acro's P.E.T. sensor-device is poised to produce for the U.S. economy."

"I project that Acro's escalating revenues - beginning in the 2nd half of 2007 - will drive your ACRI share-value quickly toward $100"

Sun Cal Energy (SCEY.OB)
After a year since I got my last mail for this one, I finally get to put another one of the "original 6" here.
NOTE: Sun Cal is now a pink-sheet stock, with the symbol SCEY.PK

On June 1 and 11, The issues of "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" promoted Sun Cal stocks. On June 18, Sun Cal issued this statement:

The Company has recently been made aware that there have been promotional articles written in the Elite Stock-Market Advisory Newsletter and the Economic Advise Report respecting it, its operations, and predictions concerning the future price of its common stock. The Company has no relationship with the Elite Stock-Market Advisory Newsletter, the Economic Advise Report, or anyone affiliated with these entities, or the articles, past or present, and have not engaged the Elite Stock-Market Advisory, the Economic Advise Report, or any other individual to prepare such articles. The Company has also never approved, authorized or endorsed such articles. Other individuals or entities may have published similar articles regarding the Company or, going forward, may publish similar articles in the future without the Company's knowledge, authorization or approval. Accordingly, Sun Cal's shareholders, together with prospective investors and all persons looking to learn about the Company, its prospects, and its present and proposed operations, should not rely on such individuals, publications or articles. In evaluating the Company and its prospects, reliance should be placed on its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS from the "Elite Stock-Market Newsletter" included these:
"Sun Cal Energy (SCEY) is under $3 and on its way to $55"

"I am becoming the greatest oil & gas stock-picker of all time - Now the coming profits on SCEY will put me in the hall of fame" (This guy sure isn't at a loss for modesty.)

"How much can you make as an early SCEY shareholder? Let's do the simple math:
75 million barrels of potential oil reserves X $60 per barrel of oil
=$4.5 Billion ¸ shares outstanding
___________________________
=$55 per SCEY share"

"You'll soon be told that Saudi Arabia has been fired and that California has been hired: Sun Cal Energy now has the pole position of america's resurgent oil & gas industry."

"Several million gallons of salt-water must be pumped into this field each day just to push the diminishing oil reserves off the bottom. The continued escalation of water content in daily oil production is a clear indication that Saudi Arabia is no longer a reliable, long-term source for the U.S. economy."

"Less than one year from now, no one will believe you were able to buy SCEY under $3 per share"

"Among all the surrounding majors, only SCEY is in position to quickly go from under $3 to over $55 per share."

"Be prepared to sell your shares to a major producer as production activity escalates."

Here he goes again. Despite the statement from Sun Cal, "The Natural Contrarian" (written by Scott Fraser, who gives us the "Elite Stock-Market Newsletter) issue of "2nd week - August 2007", received on July 31, is pushing Sun Cal.

Now it's "under $4.25 and on its way to $55".

"Sell every major stock you own - right now - then, buy every share of SCEY you can get your hands on!"

"Marathon has now expanded its drilling operations on Sun Cal's Hobart lease and is projected to spend an additional $4 million for oil and gas extraction.

1. The last time I felt this certain on a new junior oil-stock, Marathon bought-out the entire company at $19 per share
2. I've already stated that Sun Cal's Lokern Prospect can be valued at over $55 per share
3. With economic oil and gas extraction set for the Hobart Prospect, YOU could be selling your SCEY shares to Marathon next year above $85!"

"Even better news is that we will have exclusive use of this angle for a good 18 months while the rest of the market misses out."

China YouTV Corp. (CYTV.OB)
The company is now Microelectronics Technology Co.
NOTE: The stock is now a "pink-sheet" stock, with the symbol MELY.PK

I got an E-Mail on the morning of Mon., Aug. 13 which contained a PDF attachment pushing this stock. This one, like the one for ERMX, had no "forward-looking statement" disclaimers.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"We have already seen CYTV's market impact before climbing to over $2.00 with news press release:
China YouTV's CNBoo Web Site Ranks No. 1 on Microsoft Live Search Engine..."

"Read the news, think about the impact, and jump on this first thing Tomorrow morning! $0.42 is a gift at this price....." [41 cents, actually - Sam]

OK, guys - Since I got that E-mail, I have gotten a couple of cryptic E-mails. One I got on Aug. 15 had the "subject" name of "But he tried to save the face by claiming that was money owed to him." The E-mail itself goes like this:

Planktos Corp. (PLKT.OB)
Planktos is now a pink-sheet stock, with the symbol PLKT.PK

A multi-page brochure I got on Sat., August 25 called "GroundFloor Stocks". I'll probably spend more space quoting from this thing than the other stocks I've gotten ads about because the stuff here is, well, more "interesting" than the stuff I've read before. Note that although this thing repeatedly (and repeatedly and repeatedly) mentions the stock being "$1.25", at the time I got it in the mail - which means going in to the open on Monday Aug. 27 - it was only 80 cents. One glaring blooper is this: On the bottom of page 3, it says "Advertisement: See important disclaimer on page 9", which it is, but on the next two right-hand pages, it says "page 13" instead. There is no page 13.

UPDATE: On Nov. 5, Planktos issued a press release stating that "In spite of a series of unanticipated and long delays in equipping the ship with her scientific gear and bringing officers and crew aboard, the ship is now underway and has left US waters." Also of interest: "While the ship has sailed, the destination and route is being kept confidential, based on advice received from international maritime security experts."

Keeping this in mind, Here's what "GroundFloor Stocks" was telling us in August:

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"GLOBAL WARMING SOLVED
This company is single handedly crippling global warming.
Here's why $1,250 invested today could become $30,000 summer's end."

" 'GLOBAL WARMING INC.'
That's what Wall Street insiders will call Planktos Inc., as sales of its Carbon Credits send it soaring from $1.25 to $30!
'Get in NOW before...'
$500 becomes $12,000...$1,000 soars to $24,000...$3,000 catapults to $72,000...and $8,000 transforms into a whopping $192,000!"

"By the time you receive this letter a 115 foot state of the art ship named the Weatherbird II will be arriving off the coast of the Galapagos Islands.
From there it will spend the next few weeks trolling the Pacific Ocean - dumping over 20 tons of iron dust into the water. Dust ground up so fine it will float on the ocean's surface."

"... according to FORBES magazine the Weatherbird II has embarked on a historic mission:
'The iron dust (dumped) will cause phytoplankton to bloom on the ocean's surface face, which in theory, will then suck tons of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and sink deep into the ocean'.
The news is so remarkable The Discovery Channel aired a 'global warming' special on the ship and its owner Planktos Corp. on March 30th, 2007"

[The brochure goes on to mention other media coverage]
"But while the science behind the method of carbon reduction is extraordinary, the real story - the one no one is paying attention to - is the fortunes that are going to be made from its journey.
That's why I hope this letter finds you in good time.
You see, as of this writing, shares in this exciting little company the media is gushing about are selling for only $1.25 a share.
But that will soon change.
There's no time to wait...get FAT now or fight for scraps later!
It sounds crazy I know, but as you read on I think you'll agree that Planktos Corp., stands a real chance of doubling from $1.25 to $2.50...jumping from $2 to $10 and sprinting from $10 up to $30 a share.
And I'm not exaggerating when I say it can happen within just a few short weeks.
Because once the Weatherbird II pulls back into port all bets are off.
As the iron dust takes hold and phytoplankton begins to bloom, a bidding war will ensue for Planktos' much anticipated carbon credits.
Driving shares up fast in the buying frenzy.
Ocean Fertilization: The most effective means of combating global warming."

[Mentioning a USA Today article...]
"What the article reveals is jaw dropping... setting the table for windfall profits for Planktos and its investors alike.
In fact, the only stretch here is believing it won't!"

"Are you starting to get a feel for how quickly Planktos can return 5... 10... or even 30 times your initial investment?"

"Simply put, a carbon credit - or offset - is a tradable permit.
It provides a way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by assigning them a monetary value. One credit, or permit, represents one ton of CO2 (carbon dioxide) removed from the atmosphere.
In other words, the more carbon credits a corporation buys - the more CO2 they have the 'right' to emit.
Now this is where it gets interesting. Follow me here.
It costs Planktos Corp. about $1 to produce one carbon credit. Each credit can be sold on the open market for $20 or so - leaving a $19 per unit profit.
Now, each plankton bloom they create removes between 8 and 10 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
That means one ship can generate up to $200 million per year in revenues.
Add more ships, generate more revenue. And that's what Planktos Corp. plans to do.
Remember, they just set sail on their maiden voyage. The time to get in is now while shares are still just $1.25."

"Call your broker NOW!", they exclaim on the top of page 4 of the 12-page brochure.

"Carbon credits. A virtual 'get out of litigation FREE card' "

"In fact, Richard Branson - founder and CEO of Virgin Records is currently offering $25 million to anyone who develops a technology that can reduce CO2 (a reward likely to go to Planktos)"

[Here's yet another way this guy tells us the same thing he's been saying about 3 or 4 times already:]
"Imagine this. You're sitting at home one evening after a long day at work and BREAKING NEWS flashes across your screen.
Naturally this catches your attention so you wait for the story. The teaser headline reads:
'SMALL ECO COMPANY DELIVERS PUNCH TO GLOBAL WARMING'
You watch in amazement as they show footage of the Weatherbird II triumphantly pulling into port. And listen to the news you knew was coming weeks before.
The next morning your $1.25 shares are worth $4. Then $5.

That's every investor's dream, right?
Well, that's exactly how I see the story of Planktos unfolding. And that's why I urge you to buy shares now BEFORE it becomes a global blockbuster."

"This $1.25 stock is the most undervalued I've seen in 30 years."

"Letting Planktos Corp. pass you by at $1.25 share is a monumental mistake. It would be down right tragic."

"The question of course is this. [Well, ask it!] Knowing what you know now, do you have the courage to grow rich in this trend - or will you convince yourself that opportunities like this only happen to 'other people'
I can't promise I'll contact you again..." [Gosh, you mean that?! Tell me you mean that!]
Planktos Corp., is truly an extraordinary opportunity. Soon it will grace the cover of every major news publication...making it the poster-child for combating global warming.
Those who buy it now at $1.25 will be forever changed."

UPDATE: On Feb. 13, 2008, the company announced that it is indefinitely postponing its project, and was calling back its ship. You can read more about this in the news article of that date by clicking on the link above the list of stocks.

On February 29, 2008, after Planktos put the ship up for sale, the title to it was transferred to a company called Sperc Explorer, Inc.

Aug. 27, 2007 - .80
Aug. 27, 2008 - 1.5 cents

Strategic Resources (SGCR.PK)
In Nov., 2007, the ticker symbol changed from SGCR.OB to SGCRE.OB, and is now SGCR.PK. Since ".PK", or "pink-sheet", quotes can't be added to web pages through Yahoo! Finance, I put a link to the quote on the bottom of the page so you can see the current stock price.

This was advertised in "The Fagan Report", dated "2nd week - May 2007". "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" and "Fagan Report" are both published by Nat-Con Publishing.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Uranium's ongoing 1,200% surge will continue to drive your SGCR share-value higher for years to come"

"Mass financial media coverage of SGCR is coming - Your chance to buy under $1.50 will soon be over"

"Whereas a grade of 0.1% is generally required for mine-feasibility - Argentina boasts uranium grades as high as 10% in some areas - 10-times what's needed for a mine to go into production! ... you can expect an initial price-surge of AT LEAST 500% as the company's drills intersect the first high-grade uranium pay-zone. ... SGCR's initial exploration portfolio is comprised of 7 high-potential uranium properties ... SGCR's Group 1 claims are centered in a historically concentrated mining zone that has seen significant yields in the past and continues to show strong radiometric anomalies. ... Uranium grades approaching 10% have been indicated in the immediate area. ... The company's Group 2 claims comprise 3 uranium exploration properties, all of which hold radiometric anomalies as indicated by recent surveys. ... SGCR expects to commence drilling in the second quarter of 2007.

"The uranium price-boom is blowing away all other commodity sectors - and thousands of investors are set to become multi-millionaires. My objective is to make YOU one of them. I have identified Strategic Resources (SGCR) as the NEXT major U.S. uranium producer"

"I'm projecting an initial price-surge above $5."

Here he goes again. Scott Fraser's "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" of "1st week - September 2007", which I received on Wed., Aug. 29, was pushing SGCR.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
Scott goes through his usual parade of stocks he told us to buy which went up. This one in particular hit high on the "gall meter."
"12 April 2007, I told you to buy Sun Cal Energy(SCEY) at $1.80 - it gained 138% to $4.31"
Admittedly, I didn't quite start collecting junk-mail advertising for The Junk Mail Stock Watch until late-April. I did get quite a few of these ads for months before then, but I can't remember what the companies were. But this, I know for sure: I found out that the stock did reach a peak of $4.31 on June 1. It ended that day less than $4, and was never that high again. Oddly enough, this was the day I got the "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" advertising Sun Cal. It closed at $3.19 on June 11 when I got another issue of ES-MA pushing the same stock. And down to $3.01 on July 31, when I got another one, again pushing Sun Cal. He was still insisting it was "on its way to $55".

"I'm giving you another opportunity to make BIG MONEY from the beginning". [I thought the "beginning" was in May when Nat-Con's "Fagan Report" pushed SGCR.]

"If you buy SGCR now below $1 - You'll be in before the next jump above $3."

"The company's most recent sampling results indicate uranium content (U3O8) up to 0.165%. This seemingly boring bit of data signals the start of a very profitable run for early SGCR shareholders. [Again, if this is "early", what was May?] What does 0.165% of U3O8 technically mean? Who cares! As long as it makes YOU RICH"

"Strategic Resources (SGCR) is on the immediate path to uranium production by way of the drill - YOU are in position for the largest stock-profit gains.
I am projecting a near-term TRIPLE as Strategic's drills hit the first high-grade uranium zone. This could happen in just weeks - so buy every SGCR share you can get your hands on up to the $1 level.
SGCR can then skyrocket above $20 on confirmation of a world-class discovery."

"Strategic should have the drills turning on both the San Sebastian and Los Colorados properties in the current third quarter."

"For nearly 50 straight months, the uranium price has been on an absolute tear - moving steadily upward without even the hint of a pullback".

[2 paragraphs later:] "My call is that we are at the very beginning of this prolific uptrend..."

"You just have days left to buy SGCR below $1"

UPDATE: Starting with the 2nd week of Mar. 2008 "Natural Contrarian", the mailing now comes with a separate sheet called "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap". This sheet has "buy", "hold", and "sell" listings. Scott now puts Strategic as a "hold", saying, "Although this stock has slipped down to the Pink Sheets, there are two points for future recovery: Strategic is still reporting and drilling - Standby."

California Oil & Gas (COGC.OB)
I know, guys - I should've put this here 10 days before I did. Sometimes I let these dates slip up on me.
California Oil & Gas is now a "pink-sheet" stock, with the symbol COGC.PK

"The Fagan Report" for the 1st week of Sept. 2007, received on Sept. 5, advertised California Oil & Gas.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"California Oil & Gas is under $1.50 & Chevron Corp will soon drive it above $20!
COGC is leading industry-dominator Chevron back to deep U.S. oil reserves"

"I am becoming one of America's top resource-stock gurus. [Guru - A word which gained "favor" during the Guangzhou debacle - and no one has learned yet.] Now, my preemptive buy-signal on California Oil & Gas below $1.50 will make me an Oil-Stock Legend!" [note the same "modesty" as Scott Fraser here]

"California Oil & Gas has just formed a powerful alliance with Chevron Corporation in America's rapidly-expanding San Joaquin Basin Super-Field. Chevron has agreed to pay for 100% of this alliance, which means YOU need to move fast on COGC below $1.50 - or pay $3 in a matter of weeks!"

"Act quickly... and you'll own California Oil & Gas (COGC) cheaper than everyone else." [You mean, cheaper than July 3 when it was down to 40 cents?!]

"I have identified the proven indicators of COGC's rapid escalation to major U.S. petroleum production that can mean near-term gains above 2,500% for Fagan Report readers who follow my recommendation at this early stage."

"Wall Street's gigantic financial institutions will once again miss-out on buying the early COGC shares I'm telling you to 'steal' today below $1.50. Then, as details of the company's active alliance with Chevron flood the major U.S. news outlets, you'll be in position as the reactionary 'buying-frenzy' drives your COGC share-value into the stratosphere!" [I don't have my atmosphere-to-US-dollar conversion chart with me, or I'd tell you how much money that means.]

"We'd better be buying our COGC shares now below $1.50 BEFORE Chevron buys them all above $20!"

"Expect an initial COGC price-move above $5 at the onset of phase-I drilling..."

"' ... near-zero drilling risk ..."

"Why would Chevron agree to fund 100% of a seismic survey with my #1 energy stock: California Oil & Gas? Because Chevron must foresee COGC's ultimate control of the deep underground oil-source in this U.S. Super Field!"

Yellowcake Mining (YCKM.OB)

This is the last of the "original 6" that first appeared in The Junk Mail Stock Watch, to graduate from the list. I got my last mail for it on Oct. 5 of '07, which is why it didn't appear here until now.

This stock was plugged in "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" dated "1st week - May 2007", and received 5/1/07

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"It's a Uranium Bull Market! Already from $7 to $91 per pound and going much higher...as is the YCKM share price"

"Yellowcake controls the heart of Wyoming - the world-uranium resource capital

"YCKM: Yes, You CAN Make a Fortune the Easy Way!"

"Proven U.S. Uranium Zone Virtually 'Guarantees' Your Future Wealth as an Early YCKM Investor. As mentioned, the small-cap uranium stock sector should create Multi-$Billions in 'early-shareholder' profits over the next few years."

"YCKM's drills could soon prove up to 15 MILLION pounds of uranium, worth as much as $1.3 BILLION, at Juniper Ridge alone"

"Expect an initial YCKM price-spike from below $3.75 to above $10 in just weeks!"

"... Thus, I fully expect Yellowcake to map out a uranium resource that's substantially larger than the 8 to 15 million pounds already indicated by prior drilling campaigns. We'll know in a matter of weeks - Now is the time to buy YCKM!"

UPDATE: On Fri., Oct. 5, I received the "Fagan Report" of 3rd week, Oct. 2007.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
Expect an early TRIPLE with Yellowcake Mining (YCKM) - but only if you buy now below $2 per share"

In his Fraser-esque list of stocks he told us to buy:
"In March, I said buy YCKM at $2.20 - it spiked to $3.65 in weeks. Now, I'm telling you to buy more YCKM below $2 before the next price-run above $6."

"Act quickly - and you'll own Yellowcake Mining (YCKM) cheaper than everyone else. [Especially people who bought it at $3?] If you hesitate - even breifly - expect to pay [Another overused phrase] above $4!"

"I am projecting a huge increase in the YCKM share-price as Yellowcake makes the projected transition from 'explorer' to 'producer.'

Then, the sky's the limit in terms of how high your YCKM share-value can go as Yellowcake exploits the 8 to 15 MILLION pounds of uranium projected for its flagship Juniper Ridge Project - which can be valued up to $1.35 BILLION!"

"Uranium stocks will deliver expansive shareholder returns over next several years."

"You DO NOT want to be on the sidelines when Yellowcake intersects the first high-grade pay zone. This could happen in a matter of days - so make sure you place your YCKM buy-order right away."

Aurelio Resource Corp. (AULO.OB)

The 2nd week of Oct. 2007 "Fagan Report", received Oct. 16, pushed Aurelio Resource Corp., called "Aurelio Resources" in this newsletter.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Buy Aurelio Resources below $2 - and DOUBLE your money right away
Aurelio (AULO) can confirm a multi-$Billion copper deposit in the next drill-phase"

I told you before about one of those "parades of stocks" hitting the "gall meter". Here's another one:

"I said buy Strategic Resources at $0.65 - it quickly ran to $1.15"

Let's go back to that "Fagan Report" from May about Strategic Resources:
"Your chance to buy under $1.50 will soon be over" [In fact, $1.50 was the price he told us to buy the stock "up to".], "I'm projecting an initial price-surge above $5."
...and all it went up to is $1.15?

"Act quickly... and you'll own Aurelio Resources (AULO) cheaper than everyone else. If you hesitate - even briefly - expect to pay above $4!"

"I expect Aurelio Resources (AULO) to confirm a major discovery at its Hill Copper Project, Arizona, in the coming weeks and for the AULO share-price to move quickly from under $2 to well over $15."

"Consider this report to be your 'Preemptive Discovery Issue' and your last opportunity to pick up shares of AULO below the $2 level.

Will Aurelio be bought out by a 'Mega-Titan' copper producer above $40 per share - or will AULO bring Hill Copper into full-scale production on its own?

Either way...you'll be rich!"

"Aurelio's drills are turning white-hot as you read this report..."

"IMPORTANT: We Don't Care which giant copper company makes the first buy-out move toward Aurelio, Our IMMEDIATE priority is to own AULO shares now below $2.00 before a buy-out is announced."

:Fortunes will be made in copper stocks over the next 12 to 24 months

Your immediate profit-target is Aurelio Resources (AULO)"

UPDATE: On Tue., Sept 16, 2008, Aurelio announced it has entered into a non-binding term sheet with a private equity fund, to sell its Hill Copper/Zinc Prospect in Arizona, in order to finance continuing exploration at its gold project in Mexico.

Amish Naturals (AMNT.OB)
Amish Naturals is now a "pink-sheet" stock, with the symbol AMNT.PK

On Fri., Sept. 7, I received the 2nd week of Sept. issue of "The Natural Contrarian", which advertised Amish Naturals. The 1st 3 statements are from the note that came with the newsletter.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Now - Amish Naturals is poised for its NEXT major price-run above $10"

"Amish Naturals is on the same profit-path as its very profitable precedents Kraft Foods, Hebrew National, Rice-A-Roni, and Orville Redenbacher."

"This is yout very last opportunity to pick up shares of Amish Naturals at current price levels below $3.00 -- expect an initial upward surge above $10. Then, prepare to sell your AMNT shares at a huge premium to an industry titan such as ConAgra."

"Amish Naturals (AMNT) is the next $BILLION Brand-Name"

[After telling us about a time in the past where he told us about Amish Naturals and the stock went up...]
"NOW - Amish Naturals has inked 3 major distribution deals within the last 120 days that I project will spark its second share-price upswing within the next 30 days."

"Quickly buy your shares before ConAgra buys the entire company"

"My fellow contrarians, Amish Naturals is the easiest big-time stock recommendation I've presented this decade."

"The AMNT shares you buy now below $3.00 are definitely moving higher and I fully expect the company to attain a senior-exchange listing in the near-term."

"Amish Naturals is the next Kraft"

[After mentioning how ConAgra bought Hebrew National again, and again...]
"Now that the heart of Hebrew National's "Power Team" has signed on with the next great food innovator, Amish Naturals, you can bet that ConAgra is planning to pounce on this one!"

Here he goes again. On Oct. 24, I received the 4th week of Oct. issue of the "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" (published by the same company and written by the same guy as "The Natural Contrarian") plugging Amish Naturals. He's still saying:
"NOW - Amish Naturals has inked 3 major distribution deals within the last 120 days that I project will spark its second share-price upswing within the next 30 days." - which he's still saying will be above $10.
... and basically a repeat of everything else he said over a month before in "Contrarian".

Sept. 10, 2007 - $2.29
Oct. 24, 2008 - .07

Now to these next 4 that I put on "The Junk Mail Stock Watch" on Dec. 11 of '07, but I didn't get around to taking down until Dec. 12 of '08.

Petrosouth Energy CP (PSEG.OB)
The company is now West Canyon Energy Corp. (WCYO.OB)
NOTE: The ticker symbol has now been changed to WCYN.OB

This was the pick for the "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" for the 2nd week of Nov., 2007. I received this on Nov. 6. This was also advertised in the 4th week of Nov. issue, received Nov. 21. That was pretty much a repeat of the Nov. 6 newsletter, which I quote from here.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the envelope of the Nov. 6 mailing:)
"Your NEXT $Million is Inside"

(From the letter that came with the Nov. 6 issue:)
"I continue to prove over and over again: 'When I tell you to buy a stock - YOU make a lot of money!'

You no doubt receive several stock recommendations a week with wild claims of potential profits. But, as you will see in the opening of the enclosed report, my winning track record uniquely qualifies me to make this call-to-profits:

Petro-South Energy (PSEG) is about to make a major upward share-price move"

[He has yet another parade of stocks to expose:]
"7 June 2007: I said buy Fox Petroleum at $1.08 - it then went to $3.56 [I didn't get anything from him about Fox Petroleum until Sept. 18. That day, the stock was up to $2.53. His "Natural Contrarian" I got that day said "Plan on taking partial profits in weeks as FXPE makes its initial projected price-spike above $10 per share. Then, early results from the company's North Slope operations should push FXPE well above the $55 per share level.". The stock did go up to $3.56 on Sept. 24, then closed that day at $3.37 and was never that high again.]
12 April 2007: I said buy Sun Cal Energy at $1.80 - it then went to $4.31 [It reached a peak of $4.31 on June 1, closed that day less than $4 and was never that high again. This was also the day I got his "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" for Sun Cal, which said it was "on its way to $55". I got another ES-MA advertising Sun Cal on June 11, when it closed at $3.19, and another one on July 31, when it closed at $3.01. It was still "on its way to $55".]
2 February 2007: I said buy Yellowcake Mining at $1.90 - it then went to $3.65 [I got his "Elite Stock-Market Advisory" of the 1st week of May, 2007, plugging Yellowcake, on May 1. That day it was up to $3.14. In it, he said "Expect an initial YCKM price-spike from below $3.75 to above $10 in just weeks!" We're still waiting.]
22 January 2007: I said buy Strategic Resources at $0.48 - it then went to $1.15 [All I know is, When the Junk Mail Stock Watch started on June 15, it was .76. On August 29, his ES-MA said "If you buy SGCR now below $1 - You'll be in before the next jump above $3", and we're still waiting for that.]
15 Novenber 2006: I said buy AMNT at $1.30 - it then went to $3.89" [On Feb. 8, 2007, it peaked at $3.89, closed at $3.50, and you know what's coming next... was never that high again. In September (in his Natural Contrarian), and again in October (in his ES-MA) he repeated, "NOW - Amish Naturals has inked 3 major distribution deals within the last 120 days that I project will spark its second share-price upswing within the next 30 days", which he said both times would be above $10. And you know what's coming next... We're still waiting.]

(Now, finally, to his newsletter.)

"Buy Petro-South Energy (PSEG) while it's still under $2.50 per share because the company just beat Exxon to the heart of one of the richest undiscovered oil fields in the world: South America's Mega-Oil Shelf.

Occidental Petroleum and the U.S. government could lead Exxon to pay up to $40 per share to acquire Petro-South's potential world-record Colombian oil reserves. You have this valuable information now -

so act quickly on PSEG while it's still under $2.50."

"Petro-South Energy (PSEG) is my #1 Energy-Stock operating in South America and my next pick that can make you rich - AGAIN!'

Turn the page to see the 'simple equation' that shows just how much money YOU can make on your PSEG shares." [At this point, I thought "It's not what I think it is, is it?" I turn the page, and lo-and-behold...]

"Q: How can Petro-South Energy (PSEG) be about to move from below $2.50 to over $40?
A: Because Petro-South holds up to $41 Million barrels of oil at its Talora Block and up to 2 Million barrels of oil at its Buenavista Block:

Total potential of $3.44 Billion at $80 oil ÷ PSEG shares outstanding =
$45 per PSEG share"

"I'm projecting an initial price-move above $40 per PSEG share on news of the first 'drill-hit'."

"the nearby blockbuster Guando Field holds recoverable reserves in excess of 115 Million barrels with current output of around 33,000 barrels of oil per day. Petro-South's Talora Block could be a MUCH larger discovery!"

"I project Exxon must quickly expand in Colombia to stay competitive:
Buy-Out Target ðPSEG"

"You can bet that that Venezuela will soon be fired and that Colombia will be hired as America's new Latin American oil-source." [Here he goes, firing and hiring geographical areas again. California was supposed to be "hired" because of Sun Cal. We're still waiting.]

"It's no coincidence that Occidental Petroleum's pipelines steer close by Petro-South properties AND the U.S. economy is coming to buy up all the new Colombian oil

... so you had better buy PSEG up to $2.50 quickly!"

"A buy-out of Petro-South Energy (PSEG) would enable Exxon to obtain the 2 hottest properties in the new Colombian Super-Field with combines resource potential of over 220 million barrels. I am projecting a PSEG buy-out above $40 per share -- YOU should be buying PSEG now up to $2.50 per share."

"Buy PSEG now below $2.50 per share -- hesitate, even briefly [ripping off his pal, Mr. Fagan], and you'll likely pay above $5!"

"Petro-South is in position to give early PSEG shareholders a near-instant stock price increase from below $2.50 to over $40" [Now, the term "near-term" is something I've seen before, but "near-instant"?!? ]

Lexington Energy Services, Inc. (LXES.OB)
This is now a "pink-sheet" stock, with the symbol LXES.PK

Now I come to this big pamphlet called "Gold and Energy Advisor", Fall 2007 edition, received on Nov. 6. This thing is so lengthy I'm not gonna bother combing through it all. I'll just put the advertised stock of the issue here and, just, let's see how it goes.

Dec. 11, 2007 - .29
Dec. 12, 2008 - 0.2 cents

Fortified Holdings Corp. (FFDH.OB)
This is now a "pink-sheet" stock, with the symbol FFDH.PK

I got this one on Nov. 14. This newsletter is simply titled "Special Investment Alert from Eric Dickson", printed in small letters on top of the 1st page, so as to save as much space as possible for plugging the stock, I guess.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the letter that came with it:)
" 'One reason I'm predicting that this undiscovered 75 cent stock can easily hit $20.83 within six months or less is because of these 3 little-known words...'
'Stock Trading Volume!' "

"When investors started to notice Comtech, its volume grew and grew from 88,000 shares a day to often over 500,000 shares a day. And in early August of 2007, its volume hit a whopping 1.57 MILLION shares on a single day. But by then, early investors had turned $10,000 into $201,550 because the stock had gone from $2.58 to $52

FORTIFIED's Volume Is Still Small-FOR NOW!"

[Please tell me this guy isn't equating stock volume with stock price rises. After the depression happened mainly as a result of a then-record-volume day. No, he isn't, right? Oh, and Comtech was never up to $52 on or before Aug. 2007. It broke the $52 barrier on Sept. 20.]

(Now to the newsletter:)
"Sales are estimated to soar from $8 million this year to $60 million within a year with their planned acquisitions.

Management is predicting a potential market cap of $1 billion dollars within 36 months, that could raise the stock price from 75 cents to $20.83 - up 27 times." [But in the note that came with this newsletter, he said 6 months or less. He doesn't say that in the newsletter.]

He keeps saying that Fortified is using the "GE business model". He drops names like Armor Holdings, and of course Comtech, to compare it to.

"If another Katrina-level hurricane struck, the Red Cross is now better able to respond because Fortified has already supplied them with their outstanding NOMAD Incident and Emergency Communications unit."

Dec. 11, 2007 - 41.5 cents
Dec. 12, 2008 - 1 cent

ICP Solar Technologies, Inc. (ICPR.OB)

On December 11, I received a newsletter which had the same form as the Eric Dickson advertisement for Fortified Holdings, had the same permit #3602 "postmark" of Berwyn, Illinois, and (at least in the case of the letter that came with this one) preached the same gospel: The reason these stock prices are so low right now is because the stock volume is low, meaning few people know about it. As the note that came with this newsletter, which has the title of "Michael Williams Market Movers", puts it: "The lower the trading volume, the lower the profile, meaning fewer people know about it. The reverse is also true. The higher the trading volume, the higher the profile." The stock market sure-as-heck had a "high profile" on October 29, 1929. A then-record of over 16 million shares were traded, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which was over 300 a month before, went down to less than 200 (a significant "crash" for the time). The difference was that nearly all the volume was "selling" volume, not "buying" volume. Anyway, end of history lesson. Now to this thing.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the letter that came with the newsletter:)
"MY SECRET: the volume is always LOWEST when the price is LOWEST. In other words, the stock is low in price because few people know about it. That's the time to buy!"

(Now to the newsletter)
"At $3 a share, ICP Solar Technologies is the Apple, Inc. of solar stocks."

"Apple's strategy that sold 100 million iPods can turn this little-known solar powerhouse from a $3 a share stock into a $34.50 stock within six months."

Eric Dickson had the "GE business model", Michael Willians has the "iPod strategy".

"The iPod is responsible for their current stunning success for everything they now touch, including the recent blockbuster iPhone..." [HOOOOOOboy!]
[It should be noted that at the time, Apple had recently released its first iPhone, which was inadvertantly "exposed" on the Today show - in a segment sponsored by Apple - that it didn't work. Not to be confused with the later versions we see nowadays that work too dang well.]

BlooperTime: Talking about the I-Pod: "[Steve Jobs] didn't invent the idea of listening to music this way. Sony did that 19 years ago with the Walkman." The Walkman came along in 1981. Make that 26 years ago.

"There's No Big Secret to Making An Extraordinary Amount of Money In a Low-Priced Stock Like ICP Solar Technologies. Still, Most People Will Miss Out!" [There goes the "high profile" story he told in the letter that came with the newsletter. He doesn't mention any of that in the newsletter.]

Dec. 11, 2007 - 2.55
Dec. 12, 2008 - .23

Fox Petroleum, Inc. (FXPE.OB)
The ticker symbol has changed to FXPT.OB

Scott Fraser's "Natural Contrarian" of 3rd week, Sept. 2007, received on Sept. 18, advertised Fox Petroleum. Now, like Sun Cal before it, it's this one that's on its way to $55.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Now, Fox Petroleum (FXPE) will be my Biggest Winner Yet!"

"Expect +10,000% profits if you hold FXPE at least 6 months"

"Fox Petroleum (FXPE): Profit Projection #1
160 million barrels of potential reserves X $70 per barrel of oil
= 11.2 Billion ¸ shares outstanding
=$55 per FXPE share"

"Alaska's North Slope is America's largest and most important oil resource and Fox Petroleum (FXPE) is set to become a major player - overnight!"

[After mentioning another stake Fox Petroleum has in Europe's North Sea:]
"Fox Petroleum (FXPE): Profit Projection #2
33% stake in potential recoverable reserves of up to 234 million barrels X $70 per barrel of oil
= an additional $5.4 Billion ¸ shares outstanding
=$80 per FXPE share!"

"Plan on taking partial profits in weeks as FXPE makes its initial projected price-spike above $10 per share. Then, early results from the company's North Slope operations should push FXPE well above the $55 per share level."

Here he goes again. On December 19, I received another "Natural Contrarian" - 3rd week, Dec. 2007 - plugging Fox Petroleum. He again doesn't fail to give us a doozy or two.

"I just said 'BUY FXPE' - Then the share price TRIPLED! Now, I say 'Fox Petroleum can make a 10,000% profit-run'". By "just said", I suppose he's referring to the September mailing - excuse me if I'm mistaken. The stock closed at $2.50 the day I got that one. The highest it ever got since then was $3.56 on Sept. 24 - a 42.4% gain, not triple, and of course not that 10,000% gain we're still waiting for.

He's still projecting a 10,000% gain. He doesn't say when, and now acknowledges "long-term".

UPDATE: In Scott Fraser's 2nd-week-of-June "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received Fri., 6/6/08, he now puts Fox Petroleum as a "sell".
"Near-term dilution in shareholder value likely following company decision to implement 1-for-5 reverse stock split."
Fox Petroleum is doing this in an attempt to meet standards to get a listing on AMEX. Which should go to show people the things that happen before an OTC stock can be, to quote the Guangzhou hype, "bumped up to a larger exchange".

Solar Night Industries, Inc. (SLND.PK)
I got this advertisiment on Dec. 18, 2007, but for some reason, didn't get around to putting it on The Junk Mail Stock Watch until Jan. 15, 2008. I found out that on Dec. 17, 2007, the stock got up to $1.31 - and was never that high again - before going down to $1.10 on the 18th, the day I got the newsletter.

I received the "Intellegent Investor Report"'s "Special Situations Report" of Fall, 2007 on December 18. This actually has the price of "U.S. $8.95/CAN $11.95" printed at the top. Gosh, I hope they don't bill me. Another solar stock-tout.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Within the next couple of years, on some bright sunny day, you're going to pick up your morning copy of the Wall Street Journal.
And when you open it, you'll see this headline:
'Cheap Energy from the Sun Ends U.S. Dependence on Foreign Oil'"

"But for you as an investor, that headline could either be bad news or good news. Which will it be?
Well, should you choose to ignore my recommendation to take a position in the solar energy start-up company I'm recommending today - Solar Night Industries (symbol: SLND) - it will be bad news.
That's because, by the time mainstream financial publications like the Wall Street Journal get hold of the Solar Night story, ground-floor investors will have already creamed the lion's share of the gains... and you will have missed out on all that profit.
On the other hand, say you take my advice... and own Solar Night Industries now.
Today, the stock is still flying largely under Wall Street's radar.
When the news of Solar Night's revolutionary approach to solar power distribution finally makes the front page of the Journal, the sky's the limit as far as the stock price is concerned.
Five dollars a share? Seems a reasonable price to own what is poised to become the #1 solar energy distribution company in the United States. But act swiftly, and you can load up on all the shares you want for around a buck a piece.
Ten dollars a share? That would give us a ten-bagger on Solar Night... and a 900% gain on your investment."

"A gain of 900% or more is not out of the question!
Act swiftly, and you can own a nice block of the shares today for pennies on the dollar of what they could be worth in a year or two from now."

We are introduced to a fancy term for what we already know as solar power: "photovoltaic technology".

With the Anheuser-Busch logo printed on page 4, there's a headline that says: "Anheuser-Busch heir taps the power of solar". Under that is a story about how Adolphus Busch, IV has solar power in his house and other properties. Nothing about the Anheuser-Busch company, and nothing about Solar Night.

[After mentioning the Solar Night Solar Synapse Wire Kit:] "...the phrase 'Synapse inside' may become to solar power what 'Intel inside' is to PCs"

"With the largest solar installer network in North America, Solar Night will rapidly rise to a position of dominance in the solar energy market. The company will own a virtual monopoly on the solar distribution channel."

First it says "Shortage of solar installers to nearly triple by 2010", then it says "SLND has solutions to this problem". Will this problem be fixed before or after the "year or two" that the stock price is supposed to have that big rise?

"One other factor may send Solar Night's share price higher, faster: acquisition by a larger, more established energy company." [There goes that "virtual monopoly".]

UPDATE: On June 27, 2008, Solar Night Industries issued a press release announcing its assets have been foreclosed, and its CEO has resigned.

Century Petroleum Corp. (CYPE.OB)
NOTE: On Aug. 18, 2008, the ticker symbol was changed to CYPEE.OB
Let's hope CYPOOP.OB isn't next - >OUCH!<
UPDATE: On Aug. 19, 2008, they had the good sense to get out of that one, and change it back to CYPE.OB
NOTE: Century Petroleum is now a pink-sheet stock, with the symbol CYPE.PK

I really thought I was through with these things. I didn't get any stock junk-mail this year until Friday, February 8, when I got this. Scott Fraser's "Contrarian Stock-Market Guide" for the 1st week of Feb., 2008.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Century Petroleum is YOUR Next Big-Money Stock - Buy CYPE now up to $1 BEFORE it heads above $20"

"I am a profit-stock picking legend."

"It's simple: I issue the buy-signal, you buy your shares, then we watch the stock price go ballistic and you decide what to do with the profits. This year, my long line of profit-stocks continues."

"When I first tell you to buy a stock - YOU make a lot of money"

"It's simple: Buy CYPE Now below $1 & Get Ready for Profits!
My First Call-to-Profits:
I Project Anadarko to buy-out CYPE
Buy your shares in Century Petroleum & You'll be First in line when I'm right"

"I am urging you to buy CYPE now below $1 - those who hesitate, even briefly, could pay well above $5"

Pantera Petroleum, Inc. (PTPE.OB)
NOTE: On Jan. 27, 2009, the ticker symbol changed to ESPI.OB
On Jan. 28, 2009, the name was changed to ESP Resources, Inc.

The 2nd-week-of-March, 2008 mailing of "Natural Contrarian", received on Mar. 6, comes with a separate sheet called "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap". This thing has 4 "buy" listings, 2 "hold" listings, and 1 "sell" listing.(In case you're curious, TechnoConcepts, Inc. (TCPS) 2 of the "buy" listings, I already have here, so I'll list the 2 that haven't been here yet, starting with Pantera Petroleum. Of course, the statements aren't as much fun to read, but...

Beside the name of the stock in the listing it says, "Expectations continue to run high for company's definitive results from it 85% stake in up to 6.7 TCF natural gas / 1.1 billion barrels of oil."

UPDATE: In Scott Fraser's 2nd-week-of-June "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received 6/6/08, he now puts Pantera as a "hold".
"New natural gas property acquisition in prolific West Gomez Field, Texas; Stand-by as we await first-round drill results."

ForgeHouse, Inc. (FOHE.OB)
NOTE: On Apr. 20, 2009, the ticker symbol changed to FOHEE.OB
On May 20, 2009, the symbol changed back to FOHE.OB

On Fri., June 6, I got the 2nd-week-of-June issue of "Natural Contrarian".

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"ForgeHouse can make 'Overnight Millionaires' now - Just like Apple over 20 years ago
If you buy ForgeHouse stock (FOHE) Now Up to $2 - You can actually make MORE money than the instant Apple-Millionaires because ForgeHouse has 3 big advantages:
1. ForgeHouse controls its technology which may be far more profitable than Apple's
2. ForgeHouse has a potential market that may be many multitudes above Apple's [Excuse me, doc - I've got "accute case of the 'MayBe's' "]
3. ForgeHouse early-shareholders get in under $2 instead of $22 for early Apple shares" [This brings me back to the late 80's or early 90's, when we had this run on stock junk-mail for a while. I remember in one of those, there was a heading that went "Apple a 'penny-stock'?" And it went on to talk about how Apple started out at just a few cents per share - not $22. One thing hasn't changed in these ads: the ol' comparisons to Apple. There are enough "Apple"s in this thing to make me gag.]

"YOU can buy FOHE below $2 - BEFORE its projected run above $100"

"ForgeHouse owns the lead security technology that I project will become a global-dominator across numerous multi-$Billion industries.
While this may be the first time you've heard of ForgeHouse and its proprietary "OneVision" security technology - you'll soon be hearing a lot more as Wall Street's giant financial instutuions commence a buying-frenzy on FOHE shares."

"ForgeHouse (FOHE) is the Next Apple!"

"Huge Licensing Deal with Securitas USA
+
Rapid Market-Penetration into Multi-$Billion Target-Markets 1 2 & 3
=
Up to $200 per FOHE share"

[And what are those "target-markets"?]
"1. One-Vision in every major office building, skyscraper, and college campus"
"2. One-Vision protecting U.S. Embassies and Military Installations"
"3. One-Vision thwarting terrorist threats to U.S. Nuclear and Chemical facilities"

"You'll be telling your grandchildren YOU were a seed-level investor in ForgeHouse"

UPDATE: In the 1st-week-of-March "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received Feb. 21, 2009, he now puts it as a "sell".
"Initial buy-signal at $1.50 range in May 2008 followed by interim price-peak of $2.00 in mid-June 2008; Sell remainder of open FOHE positions."
This, after not getting his newsletter until June 6, the stock closing at $1.98 on June 11, and not being that high again.

Aussie Soles Group (AUSE.OB)
NOTE: The ticker symbol has changed to ASOG.PK

What is it with "permit #3602" and Berwyn, IL? I got yet another one of those mailings with that pre-printed "postmark", or whatever you call it. The return address is to a Tim Fields in Boynton Beach, Florida. I got this on Fri., June 27, 2008. The name of this newsletter is "Untapped Wealth".

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Every $5,000 invested today could turn into $75,000!"

"Fast-growing Aussie Soles (stock symbol AUSE) is about to grab the #2 spot in global sales just behind the phenomenally successful Crocs Shoes... [I've seen comparisons to Apple in these things, but for gosh sake, Crocs?!?]

I believe this could trigger a 10, 15, even 20-fold share price increase!"

"Can you imagine what will happen to AUSE shares, as the company's sales climb to $50 million, to $100 million, and then $200 million and more in their global rollout?!

I'm convinced early AUSE shareholders could see a 10-fold gain, even a 20-fold gain, and in just a matter of months!"

"Pick up the phone. Talk to your registered financial advisor about taking an early position in Aussie Soles (symbol AUSE). Then log on to your online brokerage account and ACT!

I'm convinced this stock has fortune-making potential for early investors, and you'll probably never see the share price this low again."

"Many shift workers will be converting to Aussie Soles because of their need for an anti-static shoe!

Crocs lovers will soon try Aussie Soles and discover it's a better shoe for the same money!

New buyers are likely to choose the better looking and fitting Aussie Soles when comparison shopping!

So it's just a matter of time before Aussie Soles are on tens of millions of feet. Even Crocs 800% gain could pale in comparison to Aussie Soles skyrocketing shares!"

"I'm telling you - they ought to get the Congressional Medal of Honor for this, but let's be happy with a potential 10 to 20-fold gain and call it a day."

"I'll tell you what I think - this stock is going to the moon."

"... I believe Aussie Soles shares (AUSE) could jump 10 to 20 times in just the next few months!"

"AUSE shares could take off like a rocket any day now!

And that wraps up my report." [I can hear that Carnac "applause" in my brain right now.]

UPDATE: On Dec. 1, 2008, Aussie Soles announced a 10-to-1 reverse stock split.

June 30, 2008 - $2.46
June 30, 2009 - 5.1 cents
With that 97.93% drop, "every $5,000 invested" on June 30 of '08 "turned into" $103.50.

These next 2 were listed as "buys" in the 2nd-week-of-June, 2008 "Contrarian Press Market Recap", and were on The Junk Mail Stock Watch on June 11 that year. I didn't get around to putting these here until July 1, 2009.

Bioshaft Water Technology, Inc. (BSHF.OB)

On Tue., May 20, 2008, I got a thing called "Market Movers", plugging this stock.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Buy Now Up To $6.50!"

"Bioshaft will revolutionize the $1 trillion U.S. domestic sewage treatment market"

"When word hits the Street, this $1 stock could jump to $10 overnight, and just keep climbing!" (It started the day on May 20 at $2.94, and finished the day over $3.)

"The next Standard Oil, U.S. Steel, IBM, Microsoft, or Google, if you will."

"Thousands of municipalities all across America will now consider either a new, or retrofitted, Bioshaft system to solve serious problems they've struggled with for decades..."

"It's a WIN for Bioshaft and their shareholders as sales go from the $millions, to $tens of millions, to $hundreds of millions, and finally to the $billions!"

"What makes Bioshaft a fortune-making opportunity is that it miraculously processes human waste water without creating sludge as a byproduct.

Yes, as crazy as this sounds - the biggest, costliest, most dangerous problem in sewage treatment is eliminated!

Well, not entirely. The sludge reduction is 95%. Please excuse me but I'm going to call that 'eliminated.'"

"Water technology stocks are hot!
...
Check these recent profits...
CCC............up $283%!
HDRX........up 325%!
PNR............up 528%!
WWAT .......up 630%!
BSHF...1,000%?"

"Maybe you missed out on buying Microsoft stock. Maybe you missed Apple. Don't miss BSHF..."

"But even if BSHF jumps to $2, or $3, or $5 in the short term, it'll still be one of the great buys of the young 21st century."

UPDATE: On Wed., July 2, 2008, I got another "Michael Williams Market Movers" plugging Bioshaft, and saying identical things - except that now it's "poised to revolutionize the $1.3 trillion domestic sewage treatment market".

May 21, 2008 - $3.03

Panglobal Brands, Inc. (PNGB.OB)
NOTE: The ticker symbol is now PNGBE.OB

This is one of the "buys" listed in the 2nd week of July 2008 "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received on Wed., July 2. I don't know why I didn't get around to putting this in the Junk Mail Stock Watch until July 11, but I didn't.

"Buy now before PNGB starts its extended upward move."

UPDATE: The 2nd week of August "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received on Mon., Aug. 4, now puts it as a "hold".

"Strong sales revenue uptrend from company's in-house apparel brands; Nevertheless, we recommend a "HOLD" on PNGB until Autumn 2008 line-up is publicly announced."

Purple Beverage Co., Inc. (PPBV.OB)
(On 1/8/09, the ticker symbol changed to PPBV.PK)

During my respite from working on the website, I got one "Natural Contrarian" newsletter, for the 2nd week of Mar. 2008, on March 6. (The stock closed at $2.56 that day, and the highest it's got since then was $3.37 on Mar. 12.) I'm sorry that I didn't get around to putting it on here until now, but I spent some time getting some things together personally. Now, I'm ready to go back to work.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
(From the envelope:) "Inside: My Quickest +1,000% Gainer Ever"

(Now for the newsletter:) [It's time to turn up that "gall meter"]
"Here's Proof that I Can Make You Rich on Purple (PPBV)
I'm the BEST at identifying High-Profit Drink Stocks:
Hansen's (HANS): Over 20,000% Profits!
Snapple: Bought-Out quickly for $1.45 BILLION
Dr. Pepper/Seven Up: A $1.7 Billion Acquisition"
[Yeah, he gave us success stories of 3 companies, but what do they have to do with him being "the best at identifying" anything?]

"Buy PPBV up to $2.90 - or hesitate and pay well over $15"

"Purple is the next Pepsi"

"The investing herd won't know about Purple until their brokers recommend it above $10!" [Just about all "the investing herd" ever gets is junk mail such as this, and junk E-mail.]

"Before you turn the page, I want you to understand that that my lofty projections on PPBV's huge upward price-move are set to happen in the very near-term." [Catch this: His "lofty projections" are happening right now.]

"Purple's release of its initial sales report should no doubt declare this new company to be the next dominant name-brand in beverages."

[And I've seen this quite a bit lately:] "Purple can be bought out by an industry titan."

"If you wait for these numbers to be released, you could pay 10-times higher."

[Page 3 has the obligatory half-a-page with famous brand name logos printed on it.]

"If you missed out on PepsiCo, Hansen's, and Snapple - Purple Beverages (PPBV) is YOUR Second Chance at Historic Profits" [Excuse me, but if we missed out on 3 other companies, shouldn't Purple Beverages be our 4th chance at historic profits?]

"Your Purple shares - purchased now up to $2.90 - can actually outperform the +21,000% stock-performance of Hansen Natural (HANS)"

[There's some sort of graph implying, among other things, the stock price to be over $30 at the time Purple releases its initial sales report.]

"Did you have any stock-market losses in 2007? Purple Beverages (PPBV) is the ONE stock you can buy today up to $2.90 and immediately make up for those losses losses along with an opportunity to amass your first stock-market fortune of 2008 as Purple increases its share of the booming $40 Billion specialty beverage sector."

"The key ingredient of all-natural, no-sugar-added Purple is the exotic acai [pronounced ah-SIGH] berry which, after being hailed as the new "superfood" on the Oprah Winfrey Show, has consumers clamoring for its high levels of antioxidants."

"I'm projecting an initial upward price-move to the $10 - $15 range as PPBV ramps up market-share in the red-hot specialty beverage sector - and then toward $100 per share as the company climbs the ladder of the behemoth U.S. beverage stocks such as PepsiCo and Hansen Natural."

"Purple can generate HUGE PROFITS in your portfolio for years to come"

UPDATE: On Mon., Aug. 4, I received the 2nd-week-of-August "Fagan Report", which plugged Purple Beverage.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Purple (PPBV) up to $2.25 is YOUR Profitable Future"

[Part of the "Profit-Path" this newsletter has for the stock goes:]
"Skyrocketing Sales and Market Share = PPBV GETS HIGHER EXCHANGE LISTING"
[Anytime I see one of those higher-exchange statements in these things, I have to bring up Fox Petroleum again. In September of '07, its stock was $2.50, and Scott Fraser's "Natural Contrarian" newsletter - brought to us by the same folks who give us the "Fagan Report" - told us it was "on its way to $55". In June of this year, the "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap" put it as a "sell" because of an impending 1-5 reverse stock split - which Fox Petroleum is doing to meet standards to get listed on AMEX.] UPDATE: On Thur., Jan. 8, 2009, Purple Beverage became a pink-sheet stock.

"I'm projecting +2,000% returns for those who follow my Strong Buy Signal on Purple Beverage (PPBV). Your window to own PPBV below $2.25 per share is about to be slammed shut - DO NOT hesitate on this one!"

"I am projecting Purple's next quarterly results to jump to nearly $1 MILLION Per Month"

"Here's where YOU Can Make $MILLIONS on PPBV:

• I've made my bold revenue prediction of around $1 Million per month for Purple's next round of Financials

• If I'm 100% right on my projections - I expect your PPBV shares to go on extended upward run of +2,000%

• Let's say I'm only 50% correct - I still expect you to make +1,000% profits

• If you wait to see if I am even 10% right - you still will have missed out on a HUGE profit-windfall on PPBV shares

Ultimate Profit-Point: DO NOT wait for Purple to release its upcoming financial results -- Buy Purple Beverage (PPBV) immediately with a $2.25 ceiling. Then, get ready to Take-Profits in the upward frenzy."

[Then a waste of 1 1/2 pages of space on the higher-exchange angle]

UPDATE: On Aug. 15, Purple Beverage released a report stating their 3rd-quarter revenue as $365,500. This averages out to $121,833.33 "per month". So, he was a little over "10% right". The highest the stock got that day was .70, before settling down to .66.

April 30, 2008 - $2.68
Aug. 5, 2009 - .1 cents

CrowdGather, Inc. (CRWG.OB)

This is one of the "buys" listed in the 2nd-week-of-August "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received on Mon., Aug. 4.

"Rapidly emerging Internet-tech company on same legendary profit-path as giants MySpace and YouTube; CRWG is an Urgent Must-Buy up to $2".

Aug. 5, 2008 - $1.80
Aug. 5, 2009 - .85

Jayhawk Energy, Inc. (JYHW.OB)

This was one of the "buys" listed in the 2nd-week-of-June "Contrarian Press Market Recap".

On Wed., July 2, 2008, I got the 2nd week of July "Natural Contrarian" newsletter, and Jayhawk Energy was the advertised stock of the issue.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"Buy JYHW up to $3 per share & Get Rich as JayHawk becomes the next U.S. Oil-Titan"

"JYHW can move from below $3 to over $100 per share"

"YOUR brief window on JYHW shares at the 'Seed-Level' is NOW!"

"... when JayHawk announces the next set of production numbers, YOU can expect a frenzy of Wall Street buying to drive your JYHW shares way up.

Could JayHawk be bought out by Marathon at $100 per share ... or even HIGHER?"

"JYHW: Your Wealth Formula
You buy JYHW below $3 at start of major drilling
+
Expanding Institutional Buying on Upward Stock-Exchange Transition
=
Your JYHW shares on way to $100"

"I am 100% confident that JayHawk energy can move many multiples higher in a Buy-Out scenario - and this can happen BEFORE the next production results are announced."

"I'm saying JayHawk can move up to the Amex within 2008 as the company steadily ramps up oil & gas production and drilling activities in America's heartland.

JYHW shares should then be right in the $10 - $20 per share range and well on the way to a New York Stock Exchange listing

[He brought up Ultra Petroleum so many times in this "report", I might as well quote one of them now:] "We've done it before! I was the one who said 'Buy Ultra Petroleum (UPL)' early on when it was trading below $1. A huge profit-windfall ensued as Ultra first moved up to the Amex, and then to the NYSE where it currently trades pre-split well above $160 a share" [Another case of the proverbial "broken clock lucky twice a day", but he uses this way more often. He also brought up Ultra Petroleum in his mailing about Fox Petroleum.]

[In his "recent winners", he still brings up:] "Fox Petroleum: I told you to buy at $1.08 - It then went to $3.56" [But he said it "should soon move from under $4.00 to over $55 per share", and now he has it as a "sell" because of a decision to implement a 1-5 reverse stock split - which Fox Petroleum is doing in an attempt to meet standards to get listed on AMEX.]

UPDATE: On Fri., Aug. 8, I got the 2nd-week-of-August "Elite Stock-Market Advisory", which is pretty-much a repeat of the above-mentioned "Natural Contrarian", except where he said "I am 100% confident..." before, now he says "I am extremely confident..."

UPDATE: In the 1st-week-of-March "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap", received Feb. 21, 2009, he now puts it as a "hold".

June 11, 2008 - $2.27
Aug. 8, 2009 - .27

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The stock-market crunch that began after I got my last piece of stock junk-mail on Aug. 8 has seemed to keep these guys from operating - I'm not just talking about the "reporters", but the whateveryoucallems that buy up stocks and pay these "reporters" hefty sums on top of that. With the stock market plummeting as it has, it just doesn't seem feasible to be involved in that kind of risky line of work, or for the "reporters" to expect anyone just to buy up the next stock they see plugged in a newsletter. I just thought pump-and-dump was dead and gone, and it was a safe bet I wouldn't get one of those things anymore.

Stratos Renewables Corp. (SRNW.OB)
NOTE: On May 1, 2009, the ticker symbol changed to SRNWE.OB
NOTE: On May 11, 2009, the ticker symbol changed back to SRNW.OB

Just when I thought I was through with stock junk-mail, this thing showed up on Fri., Nov. 21, 2008. It is called "Myers' Secret Stocks", Winter 2008 edition. With the price of gas going down, it doesn't make since to talk about stocks skyrocketing on $80 a barrel of oil anymore, so what do do? Of course - ethanol.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:
"The New Ethanol Boom No One's Telling You About"

Lower-cost sugarcane ethanol saved Brazil and now it's about to flood the U.S.

Read this Special Edition, do your own due diligence, and then buy this stock now, before the masses bid up the price to potentially 2 or 3 times or more its current levels."

"My top pick now and throughout 2009, Stratos Renewables (OCTBB: SRNW), could be flooding the USA with a never-ending supply of green fuel in about 12 months. 100% TARIFF-FREE!"

"If you've never heard of Stratos Renewables (OCTBB: SRNW), it's because no one's telling you about the remarkable ethanol revolution that's just now underway. [With all those "E85" pumps popping up, I think we're starting to catch on, though.]

"SHAME ON MASS MEDIA:
There's a new renewable-fuel revolution underway and I want to make sure investors like you are not left in the dark."

"... I'm recommending readers buy this stock now, before everyone catches on."

"Before I put you a few steps ahead of mass media, let me say it's a crying shame no one's telling you about the new ethanol boom that's underway. No, I'm not talking about the recent boom to corn growers in the mid-west. I'm talking about the potential boom for individual investors like you and me."

"Flash: Sugarcane is much better than corn for ethanol production and use. Just ask Brazil!"

[I gotta put this one in]
"After 30 years... the envelope, please... sugar is much better to use than corn."

"Stratos wants to turn some of Peru's desert into a potential $431,000,000 a year fuel farm"

"Don't miss this one. Buy Stratos Renewables Corporation (OTCBB: SRNW) today - before the mass media wakes up and alerts every Tom, Dick and Harry investor out there."

"Using corn to make ethanol is causing food prices around the world to climb."

"Brazil has been exploiting the advantages of sugarcane ethanol ever since the Middle East oil embargo back in the early 1970s sent fuel prices sky high.

And there's no looking back now."

"Sugarcane ethanol is the past, present, and future!"

[And in his spiel for subscriptions to his newsletter:]
"While I cannot guarantee that my future stock discoveries will give you the kind of profits you'll* could get from Stratos Renewables Corporation (OTCBB: SRNW), I am so sure you'll LOVE Myers' SECRET STOCKS..."

"The Math is SIMPLE: [OH, no] $2.2 Million in current production revenues + 4.1 Million barrel potential = Very Wealthy Doral shareholders" [He's not attempting exact figures like he tried to do with Fox Petroleum and Sun Cal.]

"August 2008: Doral wisely locks-in its own sales at $100 - $131 [per barrel] through July 2011!"

"America is now the "Petro-Capital of the world, and you now have an opportunity to own the next Exxon - Doral Energy - at the $3 per share range."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am hesitant about putting these last 2 here. In my opinion, they were only "recommended" because major stock-brokers started recommending these stocks. With these being the last 2 things listed here, it sure makes these operators look good, but it's for dang sure, if pump-and-dump makes a comeback, it'll be back to the junk that was mailed previously.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next 2 are "Buy" listings in the "Contrarian Press Recommendation Recap" that came with that newsletter. Now these are "higher-exchange" stocks. Let's see what happens from here.
Atlas Pipeline Partners, LP (APL)

"Atlas' shares in solid uptrend since our new buy-rating at $5.50 range in December 2008; Buy additional APL shares on dips."
