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

The Junk Mail Stock Watch began on June 15, 2007. When I don't get any advertising for a stock in a year, I move it 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. You can look on the bottom of the page for a list with the current prices of the stocks.

The biggest gainer in the year it spent in The Junk Mail Stock Watch:
Universal Travel Group (UTVG.OB)
At the start of The Junk Mail Stock Watch on June 15, 2007 - $1.73
Fri., June 13, 2008 -
$1.80 (+.07)

In fact, it's the only gainer, so far, of any stock that "graduated" from The Junk Mail Stock Watch. It almost wasn't even that. It got down to $1.50 on the morning of June 12, 2008 - its next-to-last day on my list - before rallying to end the next day at $1.80 - 7 cents more than it was when The Junk Mail Stock Watch began. But my gosh, what used to be! It got up to $5.60 - a 323% gain! - on October 30, 2007. Before long, though, it was all ups-and-downs again until, at the end of its year on my list, "modest gain" was an overstatement. A bittersweet tale, to be sure, but it felt really good to have this stock on the list doing as well as it did. For a while, despite the "pump-and-dump" plans of others, it looked like Universal Travel Group had it going. Here's hoping it does again.

And now, to the stocks.

Universal Travel Group (UTVG.OB)

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."

At the start of The Junk Mail Stock Watch on June 15, 2007 - $1.73

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)

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.

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."

At the start of The Junk Mail Stock Watch on June 15, 2007 - $2.75

China YouTV Corp. (CYTV.OB)

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)
During December, the ticker symbol changed from PLKT.OB to PLKTE.OB, and then PLKT.PK, which it is now.

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.

"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)

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
