I have not posted in a while but I promise that I am back at the encouragement of friends around me to stick with my love for stocks. Tremendous upside is in the air with the new year dawning!
There is a great opportunity to create wealth for you and your family. I wish all a Merry Christmas and I pray that God will bless your family at this special time of the year.
With the housing market in a mess and those in foreclosure seeking other means of housing...a clearance rack of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITS) have emerged.
These can be defined as:
A real estate investment trust or REIT (pronounced /ˈriːt/) is a tax designation for a corporate entity investing in real estate that reduces or eliminates corporate income taxes. In return, REITs are required to distribute 90% of their income, which may be taxable, into the hands of the investors. The REIT structure was designed to provide a similar structure for investment in real estate as mutual funds provide for investment in stocks.[citation needed]
Like other corporations, REITs can be publicly or privately held. Public REITs may be listed on public stock exchanges like shares of common stock in other firms.
The key statistics to look at in a REIT are its net asset value (NAV), adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) and cash available for distribution (CAD). REITs face challenges from both a slowing U.S. economy and the global financial crisis, depressing share values by 40 to 70 percent in some cases.
-WIKIPEDIA
This has happened to RAIT FINANCIAL TRUST (RAS). These types of companies are involved in apartment complexes and multi-use properties that mix residences and commericial together.
The economy has handed it to RAS two ways. First, every body being able to buy a house pretty easily before the crash killed the apartment business. Second, the economy slowing stopped the construction boom of multi-use and raised vacancy rates as businesses went out. RAS was a $30 dollar stock two years ago.
Now we are rising from the ashes and it looks great. The rate of foreclosure unfortunately is causing a construction boom again for apartment complexes. (There are several going up around where I live in Lexington, SC). The apartment vacancy rate is 30% nationally. There will continue to be demand for apartments. Others are moving to apartments to live on smaller budgets and to cut out the maintenance costs of upkeeping a home.
Commercial construction is up as well and multi use is a big industry now when cement is pouring. RAIT just posted their first profit in a while. This stock bottomed around $1.50 and is now around $1.80. REITS pay dividends as well when profitable.
RAIT suspended their dividend during their time of difficulty....but it will be back. Some analysts have done the math and state that this stock is severely undervalued. I believe this could be a $8-$10 stock sometime next year.
This is a great opportunity to pull this company off the clearance rack and tuck it away in your portfolio.
I dedicate this blog to a good brother and friend of mine who encouraged me to pursue this dream of trading stocks for a living. Thanks, Jimmy. I hope you enjoy.

Thresher Industries Has Everything Going For It
I started watching this stock at .0002. It has gotten up to .0007. It has scaled back, but is poised to make a run towards a much higher level. Take a look at the company, via the website post and press releases and do your due diligence.
Specifically, Thresher Industries is located within a state enterprise zone, a recycling market development zone, a foreign trade zone, and an SBA HUB Zone for contract preferences. They recycle aluminum and create high strength metal composites that are being sold as parts to S&P 500 conglomerates, and automotive manufacturers.
Just yesterday, the volume went crazy at over a 500,000,000 shares trading hands. Today this report came out (posted below). It has been fluctuating between .0001 and .0002 for a month. This volume has taken it to .0003 today and coupled with the press release, I think good things are on the horizon for Thresher. With $250 in an online brokerage account, you could purchase 833,000 shares. If it went to a dime, you would come out with $8300.
Sirius peaked at $1.14 today. I still say it is going farther. Good trading!

HANFORD, Calif., Feb. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Thresher Industries, Inc. (Pink Sheets:THRR.pk - News) announced today that it has received the positive interim material testing analysis from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo Material Sciences Department. The test report concluded the company's own findings on its proprietary material as well as the process used to obtain its superior distribution of particulate in the base aluminum.
According to the company, the success of the new material is due to the high level of distribution of the particulate and this is exactly where many companies have failed before. These results will enable Thresher to obtain a large market penetration in this highly profitable industry. The company, through its partnership with Cal Poly San Luis Obispo anticipates further developing this material as well as other materials for strength, wear resistance and heat dissipation for use in vehicles, reducing emissions and fuel consumption via weight reduction in this multi-billion dollar industry.
"These test results represent a significant milestone for our company in its quest to be a leader in the development of light weight high strength materials," said Tom Flessner, President and CEO of Thresher Industries Inc. "Our now proven ability to manufacture these advanced materials in a cost effective and consistent manner will make our company and product very desirable to the automotive, and aviation industries," further added Mr. Flessner.

Hope Somebody Knew I was SIRI-us.
Hey everyone. Back on February 10th, I highlighted Sirius Radio at .70. Today, it is up over $1.00 to $1.05. I believe it will continue to rise despite some profit taking. Watch it if it dips.....but you might have missed your best shot.
If you have a company you are interesested in, but not quite sure of, send me an email. My main address is stonezbox@gmail.com. I will be happy to do some due diligence with you and see if it makes sense.
Thanks and good luck to all.

Points Of Entry
I just wanted to pop up and let you know that this may be a good time for a point of entry into a few stocks that I have been watching. I will also touch on how my watchlist is doing. I think SiriusXM (SIRI) is enjoying some success as a comeback and there is a movie coming out highlighting the company (press release below). It had been stuck in the .70 range until just recently. It closed at .86 yesterday.
It once enjoyed a $9 a share haitus. You may want to throw a safe amount at this. Oprah to host a live call in show February 11th about child molestation. Oprah is big and this press release came out sixteen hours ago. As Oprah leaves television, expect her radio show to get bigger.
Entertainment: Movie about Sirius XM Radio Gets Worldwide Distribution Deal Previous Release
Movie about Sirius XM Radio Gets Worldwide Distribution Deal
Fans and investors celebrate Sirius XM's rise from the ashes, but will they thank Hollywood?
[ClickPress, Tue Feb 09 2010] Lots of movies get distribution without star names. "Paranormal Activity" was made for a mere 15,000 dollars and boasts an entirely unknown cast. To date, it has generated over 80 million dollars in domestic gross revenue. "It's a new day for independent films," says "Stock Shock" director Sandra Mohr. She should know. Her documentary just landed its own distribution deal and the future is bright.
"Stock Shock," a movie about Sirius XM and the manipulation of the American stock market, was produced in only 3 months. "We wanted to get the story out about corruption on Wall Street as soon as possible," says Mohr. "Investors were losing their shirts and wanted answers. How could banks and good companies be suddenly trading for pennies?" The director admits she had no idea she would be exposed to the corrupt underworld of hedge funds, criminal market managers, and greedy legislators in the process.
She's not the only director attracted by the drama of Wall Street. Michael Moore and Oliver Stone also made films about stock market manipulation and hedge fund schemes. But Sandra Mohr's “Stock Shock” was first out of the gate. The movie exposes a technique known as naked short selling, which has resulted in the collapse of the stock value of some of America’s most promising public companies. Sirius XM, often labeled as one of the most manipulated stocks in the market, is dissected in the movie. "Stock Shock" interviews individual investors who saw their stock price hit a high of $9.00/share and then plummet to a horrifying low of 5 cents in 2009.
Jane Velez-Mitchell, Host of Issues on CNN Headline News calls the movie "Shocking and eye-opening!" and radio host Jim Puplava of the Financial Sense Newshour says the film "deserves an Academy Award."
"Stock Shock" will be featured at the "Los Angeles Women's International Film Festival" on March 28 at the Laemmle Sunset Theaters in Hollywood, California.
Stocks That I Recommended
What is going on with my picks?
ITRO is hanging around .0003. They are starting to get some press on their Silver manufacturing potential.
ZVTK suffered from a massive profit taking and dropped down to a half a cent. This one may be safe to get back into. Yesterday they announced a channel expansion to carry new 60 second infomercial about the Ionic Bulb.
VTSI article was posted on CNN Money yesterday highlighting a seventh straight profitable quarter. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/marketwire/0584793.htm (currently at .085)
I believe these are long holds and will result in a nice profit.

More Bulbs and Fertilizer, Please. (ZVTK, ITRO)
Hey guys and girls. Just wanted to update you on a couple that I recommended. Zevotek, the distributor of the Ionic Bulb is set for a larger TV ad campaign. If you missed the run between .0021 to .015..that's okay. People took profits and drove it down to .0068 yesterday, only to recover at .008. With the press release yesterday, I believe this stock will pop again and could go even higher. The ad campaign is set to start Monday. This should signal the start of a new run.
ITRO has creeped into the .0035 territory and continues to stay there. They continue to experience record quarter after quarter with their Gold n Gro Fertilizer product. They expect to have a record 2010 which will mean increase PPS. I look for this stock to creep up to a penny soon. http://www.itronics.com/.
Zevotek Press Release

Itronics
I'm popping up to make sure you are looking at Itronics. Back in November I gave you a good entry point of .0024-.0025. Just last week it climbed all the way to .0037. A $500 investment in a couple of months could have made you $270. Much better than a savings account.
There are folks taking profit right now. If it gets under .003, I think it would be a time to buy again. It was good day with over 11 million shares trading hands. It dipped but closed back strong at .0036. Whatever you're for, long or short, I believe it is a solid company. Especially with all natural fertilizer plus a silver operation in a green technology. I left the link again for you. Sorry so long. My New Years Resolution is to not be a lazy blogger.
