Next Meeting - Jan 9th - 5:30PM - BobbyQ's

Greetings and Happy New Year!

BobbyQ’s is ready for us to meet next Wednesday, January 9th at 5:30PM for another intriguing get together.

Last month turned out to be an opportunity for us to hear about American Energy Group (bulletin board symbol AEGG – stock price was $0.54 bid, $0.60 ask at the time). The CEO Pierce Onthank of AEGG was invited by one of our new group members John Welbourn to present his case for buying the stock of this royalty-stream-based Pakistani natural gas company. Given the recent headlines out of Pakistan with the murder of a Presidential candidate – the opportunity may be even more important to review and consider. Pierce had a persuasive argument for the company going forward and we appreciate John for inviting Pierce to speak with us.

The balance of the last meeting was reviewing previous monthly ideas and collecting a portion of everyone’s new ideas. Unfortunately we didn’t collect everyone’s ideas and therefore there is no contest for this month – sorry or apologies to anyone who had a terrific idea that didn’t get exposure at the meeting.

The big winner of the contest for Nov-to-December was David Brandman who chose China Finance (JRJC) as a short-sale. The stock had its exact high on the night of the meeting and tumbled from the $38 area to below $17 before rebounding into the meeting. An amazing call indeed. Congratulations David. Can you do that again for us next month? I know we are all interested to know David’s ideas regarding his January Effect strategy. David mentioned some picks at the meeting, perhaps Krispy Kreme Doughnuts among others. I’d like to know what he likes now.

Mark Juviler was great to bring his laptop computer running QCharts software with live data (of course the markets were closed) so we could pull up charts of each stock or market we were discussing. It was a key element of the meeting to have Mark provide this for us and allows us to discuss whatever ideas or technical indicators we would like to. Thank you – thank you Mark.

I look forward to seeing all of you in the new year and please reply if you know you can make it.

Best regards,
