I’m Leaving the Options World…

And will begin trading penny stocks! Well not entirely. This weekend, I took up a homework assignment by Timothy Sykes, of the penny stocking Sykes. His contest was a giveaway of his book, An American Hedge Fund, to the person with the most in-depth research on a penny stock, NT Holding (NTHH). After spending a couple of hours searching the internet, I posted a couple of responses as to what’s next with NTHH. You can find those comments here and a follow-up here. As a result, I won an autographed copy of his book wee! Thanks to Tim for his contest. Let’s see if NTHH really does follow a typical pump and dump scheme (which I think it will).

But no, I won’t give up my beloved options and futures. But who’s to say I can’t experiment with penny stocks in the future. It’s clear that they’re easily manipulated so why not capitalize off that?

In market news, futures are slightly up this morning. More than likely it’s going to be another snooze fest.

Time is running out for our first ever InvestingAdventures contest. Check out the rules here.

I currently have a banner ad, 2 large button ads, 4 small button ads, and 10 text link ads available for advertising purchase. This is the first time I’ve ever done this so I’d like to build some buzz as a result. Therefore, I’ve decided to hold a contest. I’d like to give away some of the advertising spots in return for some buzz about my investing adventures. If the predictions are true, this blog may be a rank 3 site according to Google soon so it may be worthwhile to enter! Here are the rules for entry:

Rules for Entry two ways to enter:

Add this blog as a Technorati favorite. (Gives you 1 entry)
Write a 50-100 word entry on your site regarding this blog and/or the contest. A quick summary, a brief review (positive or negative or both), or a blurb about this contest would work. All I ask is that you link to my site in some way in the blurb. I’m not looking for any specific keywords just the buzz around it. (Gives you 2 entries)
If you complete tasks 1 and 2, I’ll throw in an extra 2 entries!

That’s it. When you’ve finished those two just send me an e-mail at investingadventures@gmail.com or leave me a comment under this posting. I’d like to take all entries by September 7^th. I’ll draw three winners from the pool. The first two winners get a small button ad for the rest of September (125×125 size) and the runner-up will receive a text link right under the charging bull picture. If the buzz for this contest is fairly high, I may end up having to pull a grand winner for either a banner ad spot (468×60) or a large button ad embedded in the top post (250×250). If it comes to it, I’ll have the grand winner pick either spot. The ads will run through the end of the month.
