Garbage Stocks Editor’s Note: Before we get into today’s Penny Sleuth, here’s an update: For those, who have been counting down with us, you’ll be pleased to know that we are only one day away from one of the biggest opportunities in small-cap history. As soon as yesterday’s Sleuth contributor, Byron King, finishes his report, we’ll be sure to let you know. For now, here’s Greg “Gunner” Guenthner to shed some light on a very unpleasant industry… Two Hot Garbage Stocks
And as important as it is to reduce the smog that chokes many of China's urban centers, consider the problems the nation faces with solid waste removal. According to China.org, urban trash grew 4.8% annually. On top of this, only 20% of the garbage was treated, with the rest just piling up outside the country's many big cities. It gets worse… China produces garbage in the hundreds of millions of tons every year. And a lot of it was not properly disposed because the country lacks the proper facilities in many areas. China isn't the only country dealing with this problem… While global warming and other pollution issues have been pushed to the forefront of American politics lately, we are experiencing many trash-related difficulties in the U.S., too… ************Only a Few Spots Left************ This “Hidden” OTCBB Market has Average Gains of 25,000% Right now, we’re offering those who respond a discounted chance to turn even a small investment into a small fortune on this ace analyst's best picks in this overlooked market. But you must act quickly: Only a few spots remain in this revolutionary service’s ranks. ****************************************** Take New Orleans, for instance. The city is still reeling from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, all while local leaders are pushing hard for more tourists to pack the streets during Mardi Gras. However, a new company has taken over cleaning duties in the French Quarter this year. Earlier in the year, the Wall Street Journal featured SDT Waste and Debris Services, a small private company founded by a local entrepreneur to fill the void in the industry left by Hurricane Katrina. SDT is winning contracts with a new approach to waste management. Attractive uniforms, catchy commercials, flashy street sweepers and washers that spray pleasant fragrances like lemon and eucalyptus are some of the company's fresh tactics. Let's face it: The garbage business is huge. The more messes we make, the more these guys will have to come to our rescue. The smaller companies that develop innovative new methods to clean our factories, cities and water stand to make investors a lot of money. Here's a look at how a few small-cap companies in the waste management industry have fared over the past year: Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (PESI: NASDAQ) — Market cap: $148 million; recent price: $2.79. Perma-Fix operates in three segments of the trash business: Industrial waste, nuclear waste and engineering consulting services. The company's industrial branch includes hazardous, non-hazardous and wastewater processing and disposal. Its consulting arm includes air and soil sampling and environmental compliance services. The stock is up more than 20% year to date. Metal Management, Inc. (MM: NYSE) — Market cap: $1.25 billion; recent price: $49.26. Metal Management recycles metal at 50 facilities across the country. The company collects obsolete industrial scrap metal, processes it, and sells to foundries and metal brokers. Interestingly enough, it also operates a bus-dismantling business. So far this year, the stock is up over 26%. Garbage stocks are cleaning up in big way…and the trend is just getting started. We’ll let you know when more develops. Best, P.S.: I have other breaking news for you today… Our Penny Stock Fortunes readers have just made a killing on one company that has the technology to turn supposedly “unusable” heavy oil into very demanded light oil. This technology comes at the perfect time as oil is set to hit $100 a barrel this month. I WANT YOU TO BE PART OF IT… Take a look at what I call “Wall Street’s Most Profitable Stock Strings” and you’ll see how we find these unbelievable gains. It’s all right here… |
