College Stock: Penny Stock News

The Dean wants all of his students to do their homework on these free penny stock picks for their chance to make the grade this week:

APTD $0.0071 +42.00%
Shortly after close Friday, AlphaTrade.com (OTC: APTD) announced the company is developing a unique trading platform that will allow clients of any brokerage firm to execute trades on-line “securely and immediately.” Based on APTD’s upward movement Friday, APTD could certainly gap up Monday morning. However, if the company continues to issue news, APTD could carry its momentum well into the week.

MBHS $0.24 +20.00%
mBeach Software Inc. (OTC: MBHS) also issued news after close on Friday. MBHS announced the company is targeting new international market opportunities, which could be particularly beneficial for the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Skin Cancer Scanning, a medical device company developing and commercializing a proprietary imaging system for the early detection and diagnosis of skin cancer.

VHGI $0.185 +12.12%
On Friday, VHGI Holdings, Inc. (OTC: VHGI) gained as much as 14%, trading more than twice its 10-day average, without any announcements since earlier in the week. Last Monday, the company announced it’s taking the “next steps forward in [its] gold operations” by structuring each of its three mining projects into their own operating subsidiaries. One of VHGI’s projects is located in the Gold Creek Placer Mine where, “according to GeoTerra Resources,” there’s estimated to be more than 100,000 ounces of placer gold.

SRGL $0.56 +6.67%
Source Gold Corp. (OTC: SRGL), another potentially golden penny stock play, also issued a press release after close on Friday. The announcement tells us that the company has formed a Canadian subsidiary, Northern Bonanza, Inc., which “will co-ordinate and implement all of the company’s exploration programs in northern Ontario specifically, at this time, in the Beardmore Geraldton area.”

MSLP $0.75 +1.35%
MusclePharm Corporation (OTC: MSLP) is a “fast-growing nutritional supplement company with a proprietary formulation used in eight performance products.” On Wednesday, the company announced an exclusive distribution contract with PSI Distribution, a leading supplement distributor in Australia and New Zealand, worth $2 million in annual sales. Included in the agreement, MSLP received an opening purchase order of $500,000, which will reportedly begin shipping in August.
