The Great 8 Stocks To Watch Exclusively on The Dean’s List 4/23/09

PFCB closed today up 20% on quarterly earnings growth of 39% YoY. PFCB could be the #1 short squeeze on this list after today’s announcement because the stock has 7.6M shares short as of 3/31/09. I’m long for the moment and wouldn’t be surprised if it reaches $40 before reversing.

GWGI finished up 16% on 10x average volume and the stock promotion is going full throttle with BestDamnPennyStocks.com, TopBestPennyStocks.com, 24-7stockalert.net and DubaiPennyStocks.com releasing email alerts. (it’s funny how StandOutStocks.com sends out GWGI email alerts and M2.com press releases to try and take credit).

NXTH is the latest stock promotion by hototc.com and stockegg.com and the compensation appears to be coming from a 3rd party (compensated by Winning Media on behalf of York Cassing Services Ltd) so that… plus the illiquidity… will keep me on the sidelines.

HOTT is on fire and if/when this Bear Market Rally subsides it’s one of the biggest opportunities among retail shorts. But until then I’ll maintain a spectator.

OPTR completely reversed its trend back in early Nov ’07 (on quarterly earnings alone?) but they’re still losing money so it doesn’t add up to me. From what I gather, OPTR is breaking out on a short squeeze (2.5M shares short as of 3/31 or about 8% of float). If so, OPTR may have $3-$5/share upside from here.

FRPT is one stock I’m sure most of you remember well. I see very little resistance between $8 and $10 so let the trend become your best friend.

BDSI is very near its previous highs (9/2/08 & April-May ’07) and I see more potential playing this as a short. As always I’m not looking to call a top and instead I’ll wait until a top is convincingly formed until I short.

CENT is a potential short squeeze (11% of Float) but the volume has been drying up the past few days. If it moving higher ($11-$12) than expect a massive short squeeze +$20. At first glance CENT looks like a great short but there are just too many existing shorts that would provide substantial downward support upon covering.
