PUNISHED BY THE MARKETS?

You can take solace in knowing you are not alone watching the markets and waiting for things to turn around. The global markets have been hurt; but for the first time in months there seems to be a positive sentiment in the air. Some of the more lively stocks are on the TSX-V which has long been known for volatility and potential high performance movers. Investing has always been about weighing the risk vs the rewards and this has been the trademark rule for those who want to be around to fight another day.

With gold starting to climb back up a bit the gold bugs are on the verge of screaming out "buy gold" but have been hesitant to do so with lingering wars in the Middle East again and uncertainty on the current demand in China and Asia as a whole. In reality the paper gold market seems to be steering the real gold in a supply against demand scenario the likes of which most of us have never seen in my opinion.

A wise broker once told me that the real losers in this market are the guys who cut bait and run. If the fundamentals of the company you are invested in have not changed then you may be wiser to ride out the rough waters and average down when you can. Going all in is never wise but chasing after the hype stories can leave you with a smaller account to play with on an upcoming bull run.

No matter what sector you favor I can bet that it will turn around and you will see brighter days. The zombie stocks are still out there though and you may be best to wait until the real news materializes rather than jump in on the hype of "pending news".

I have been watching the following stocks for a break-out and if you have a minute try to do some due diligence. There is no guarantee any or all of these will significantly run from the current price but  have a look at the recent news and the chart as well. You may just find you have been hearing the same from your colleagues the past few weeks. Sometimes we need to hear the same stock symbol a few times before it registers in our head.

PHM.V

PHM is currently a positive cash flow and profitable company servicing patients with chronic heart disease and will act as a platform for acquisitions. PHM is focused on a highly fragmented and developing market of small privately-held companies servicing chronically ill patients with multiple disease states caused mainly by age and obesity. Because of the new and highly fragmented nature of the market, PHM is actively working to identify and evaluate profitable, annuity-based companies to acquire their patient databases and technical expertise at favorable prices. PHM's post acquisition organic growth strategy is to increase annual revenue per patient by offering multiple services to the same patient, consolidating the patient's services and making life easier for the patient. The expected result is growing EPS with each acquisition and growing revenue and profits from the cross selling efforts.

KNE.V

Kane Biotech is a biotechnology company engaged in the development of products to prevent and disperse biofilms. Biofilms develop when bacteria and other microorganisms form a protective matrix that acts as a shield against attack. When in a biofilm, bacteria become highly resistant to antibiotics, biocides, disinfectants, high temperatures and host immune responses. This resiliency contributes to human health problems such as recurrent urinary tract infections, medical device associated infections and tooth decay.

Kane Biotech uses patent protected technologies based on molecular mechanisms of biofilm formation/dispersal and methods for finding compounds that inhibit or disrupt biofilms. The Company has evidence that these technologies have potential to significantly improve the ability to prevent and/or destroy biofilms in several medical and industrial applications. http://www.kanebiotech.com/
