The last few years have been great to me, as i was able to clobber the S&P500 many times in returns. But of course, you can't make a living trading the markets if you don't make great great returns. I'll try to give my readers trades that i think will make them money. However, you need to have money management skills, in order not to lose everything on a greedy or stupid trade. I may or may not already be in the trades i recommend. I may or may not trade the stocks i recommend.

ONSM's fortunes are changing.

ONSM closed @ 3.15

ONSM's recent presses indicate new exciting products as well as a partnership with AKAM. ONSM works well with AKAM because they have complementary products. I would not be surprised if AKAM one day ends up acquiring ONSM. As the web continues to grow, AKAM grows as well. I don't see why ONSM won't, although they really need more customers (they have about 2000 so far). ONSM's new product offerings should help in that regard.

ONSM only lost about $1 million in the previous quarter, compared to almost twice that last year. Their revenue growth has been slow but i see that changing with their new products, as well as Akamai introducing them to new customers.

Intermediate to longer term play. Once ONSM closes above 3.75, you got to be in. The 3.75 multiyear resistance is tough to break. If you don't yet own this stock, wait out today and see what happens before buying. Yesterday's action may have created a short term top.

There is no doubt in my mind that ONSM will eventually sell stock as they do need a new cash infusion. I hope they wait till we trade north of $4 before doing that.

Board,

Just wanted to say a few things....
I like this board. its very informative and alot of good stocks are being mention here but many of you are still losing money.

Beanie is good but some of his picks are a day late and a dollar short. ONSM: He mentioned it when it was already up over a buck$ and you wonder why you lost money. Don't get me wrong, you can still make money because I did but you have to know how to play it. DOn't get me wrong, Beanie is good. One of the best but there are couple others here that are just as good.

DId anyone buy DKAM?? KP mentioned it about a week ago. and I'm up over 35%. I follow him from other boards and he is good.

How about TRMM? you guys seem to be confused. Should I sell, should I wait, ect... IF you would of bought it when Jspade mentioned it you would of made over 35%. I also follow him from other boards.

All i'm saying is that there are some good post here and if you use it wisely, you can make alot of money..

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

i agree there are others here that seem to be good traders. I don't want this to get "competitive" but it wouldn't be too bad if we end up with a room full of good traders.

This is Beanie's blog but if we can get a handful of good traders to help search for some of these it would benefit this blog and our pockets.

I think by saying I am only going to stick to Beanie's pick is close-minded. Beanie is the man but there are others that may have some worth looking into.

Beanie. Good Job and I am sure he appreciates the help might put less stress on him

This is an article of the January effect and TRMM by Thomas KO, the CNBC stockpicking champ. He has a target of 6 on it. They have restructured and are just concentrating on the ATM business.

I am loaded uip and being patient with 2000 shares at an average cost of about $ 2.13. Also check out the January charts on NUVO. Pretty good.

Let's talk about some upcoming events or catalysts that will shape part of our stock market in 2007.

The most important is the January Effect, the traditional overall increase in stock prices during the year's first month. This rally is attributed to investors buying stocks that dropped in price during the sell-off in November and December by investors seeking to create tax losses to offset capital gains from other stocks. The January Effect is said to affect small-capitalization stocks more than mid- and large-caps.

In general, you want to find and pick up those cheap stocks now. The reasons are simple: The funds and investors that have been selling those stocks are doing so mostly due to tax reasons rather than company fundamentals. They began this sell-off in November, so after the middle of December, there is not be much selling left to be done and the sell-off effect probably will have bottomed out. Come January, we should see a buying tidal wave that will push the prices of these stocks upward.

One such stock that I like is TRM (TRMM, news, msgs), the second largest ATM and copier product-and-service provider behind Cardtronics. The stock was particularly attractive for tax-loss selling because price dropped 90% this year, partly because of operating losses caused by earlier acquisition mishaps. However, the selling has been done mostly by small investors, while major fund holders like Seth Klarman's Baupost Group and DDJ Capital have increased their share holdings in TRM recently.

However, TRM is in the midst of a successful restructuring, selling off non-core assets and focusing on the ATM business here in the United States, where it feels it can establish tighter cost controls. As far as the company value goes, I believe the entire ATM business is worth upwards of $150 million, or $6 per share. It closed Friday at $1.57.

TRM also has been rumored for months to be on the buyout block. Any of the players, including Cardtronics, could be looking at TRM. If the company is not bought out, it should be able to stand on its own and produce meaningful profits by middle of 2007, when the full effects of the restructuring kick in. As I see it, TRM is in the process of transforming itself to be a "meaner" and "leaner" company and this strategy may just work out beautifully in 2007.

The stock is trading artificially cheap now, making TRM the best January Effect play to come.

In the coming days, I will also talk about other small-cap stocks that I feel will benefit from the January Effect.

Hey everybody out there who thinks beanie11111 is a true believer in his picks, i was surfing yahoo's message board and i saw someone talking about ZVUE a stock which beanie1111 recommended on nov 24 saying he saw a 20$ target. Well if you check out this web site http://messages.finance.yahoo.com/Stocks_%28A_to_Z%29/Stocks_X/threadview?m=tm&bn=26510&tid=6242&mid=6242&tof=2&frt=2
you will see someone ask about zvue and that they bought it at 7$ and asked what they should do now and beanie1111 responds to that person by LMAO@U!! "Laughing my ass off at you" WoW surpraised me to see that from a guy who says he believes in his picks, what happened to this one. You give up already on it or do you just like laughing at the ones who lose money on your picks. Must be funning to laugh at someone elses hard earned money just disapear.

I'll try to give ya 1-2 stocks per day.

Please note that the reason i can't answer all your questions is because it can be time consuming and i need to watch my positions and make new trades.

I think you folks will like the new format. We'll see.
