HUGE Stock Runners & More

Majic Wheels Corp. MJWL – Review:

The first thing we want to do this morning is review the recent activity in MJWL, a stock that we initially targeted as a subpenny play in our report on the morning of May 13th. The low following that alert was .0094, the stock began to run, and it hasn’t looked back.

Following another of what has been innumerable new highs since then MJWL cracked TWENTY cents, with shares changing hands for as much as .221. From our observed low of six weeks ago, that works out to an overall increase of 2251%, making it our hottest OTC play of the year so far.


Marin Software, Inc. MRIN – Review:

Speaking of impressive stock runs, MRIN is a NASDAQ play that we began tracking in our report on the morning of June 24th. It isn’t often that we see such intense PPS gains in the higher cap stocks over such a short period, but in this current market anything is possible, and MRIN’s run has been impressive.

On the morning of our intial alert the stock was as low as 2.56. After nearly a week of big sessions, yesterday’s took the cake as MRIN soared to a new high of 18.82. That works out to a four-session swing and total potential gains of 635%

We began tracking the ASO 06/18 $35-40 Calls a week ago today, in our premarket report on the 8th. Over the five ensuing sessions, the stock managed to achieve higher highs each day.

That momentum provided for some reasonably impressive multi-bag swings in our targeted contract sets:

ASO 06/18 $35-40 Calls
$35: 3.10-6.95 (+124%)
$40: .80-2.32 (+190%)

PHI Group, Inc. PHIL – Recap:

Also in that same June 8th report, we tagged PHIL, a subpenny play that underwent a nice dip-and-rip and ran right into penny territory.

From a low of .0055, we’ve witnessed the stock make a run to its new high of .015 yesterday. That works out to a highly respectable run of 173% Volume over the same period has been greatly increased as well, so we’ll continue to keep an eye peeled for continued momentum.
