Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Climbs Up Again

July 22nd, 2010

After moving down to $1, Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTC:AMPE) started to climb up again. Yesterday, its price went up to $1.30 per share, and traded volume jumped up tremendously to exceed 2 thousand shares for the day.

What’s behing the present move? It should be the positive announcements along with the optimistic projections, released by AMPE over the last days. Could be these, that made the investors start buying, though the news is related to the future and the high expectations cannot be confirmed yet.

Ampio Pharmaceuticals develops innovative proprietary drugs for metabolic disease, eye disease, kidney disease, inflammation and CNS disease. According to the historical data, AMPE has traded much higher during the last 6 months, when its price reached $4.05 per share. However, there was a shocking price crash in June, this year. After that the stock has had frequent ups and downs to start moving up again. Still, its too soon an uptrend to be recorded.

The quarterly results of AMPE look disappointing. They point that the company has not generated any revenue so far, and it has suffered higher expenses. AMPE still has some cash on hand, though its operating loss has increased.

In its 2010 quarterly report, Ampio states that its: “Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market investments”, and that the company needs to raise additional capital to complete its business plan.

Based on these facts, traders should carefully observe the future movement of the AMPE stock.

Kiley Group, Inc. KGRID.PK Just Died

July 13th, 2010

Kiley Group, Inc. (PINK:KGRID) stock price has gone flat after losing 99% of value upon announcement of the President Patrick Thomas leaving . The stock price recently hit $0.0003 and carried a huge volume along. This last breath is likely the unfortunate investors getting rid of the stock that lost nearly all of its value.

Presidents changed but the business model remains the same, even though it proved to be ineffective. Well, at least their balance sheet looks good with the $1.5 million in “investments” that auditors didn’t check.

0.0001 fluctuations still kick in, but the volume should eventually set down and in turn the price would go flat once again. For those considering it can only go up from here - this might not be the end after all. There is still 75% drop to the $0.0001 line and some more reverse splits from there on, just like in the past half a year when the share count went from 250M to 14M. This stock is for gambling addicts only!

Bayside Petroleum Company Sinks Down Over 50%

June 22nd, 2010

Bayside Petroleum Company (BYSD.PK) sank down over 50% last week. After a resistance level at $0.030, the stock price ran down to $0.013 and its volume fell to 500 shares traded. Then, all of a sudden, the company’s traded volume ran up to over 3 million shares on Monday! This jump was phenomenal for the pink sheet company and it had no reasonable explanation.

The company has no recent press releases on its website and hasn’t made any general announcements during the last months. However, the records show that BYSD has paid 200k free trading shares to get promoted, which may explain the sudden volume jump.

The promoters can sell their shares right after the promotion, though in the BYSD case the price was probably artificially inflated. But still, we can find no definite explanation on the downtrend, which occurred. We can only assume the promoter has failed and decided to sell all the shares of BYSD.

Cheniere Energy, Inc. Plans A Market Revolution

June 7th, 2010

Cheniere Energy, Inc. (AMEX:LNG) announced its plans to build the first liquefied natural gas export plant in the United States for 40 years. Cheniere intends to make a market revolution and it has already received initial interest from potential buyers and producers interested in committing supply to the project.

After the news was reported, LNG’s stock flew up 12.69% at 3.02 on the high volume of over 1 million shares. It is more than the company’s average traded volume and it still keeps a high value.

During the last weeks, there was a resistance level at 3.0, while currently LNG trades at 3.34 and the maket cap points 191.26M.

Cheniere Energy, Inc. is developing a platform of three, 100%-owned, onshore liquefied natural gas, or LNG, receiving terminals along the U.S. Gulf Coast. According to the records, company’s revenue for 2009 is higher than the year before, but its net income is 2 times lower. However, the LNG’s quarterly results for 2010 look better.

Although the results were consolidated for financial reporting, Cheniere, Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. and Cheniere Partners operate with independent capital structures. In March 2010, Cheniere Marketing entered into an agreement with JPMorgan LNG Co., providing financial support to source more cargoes of LNG than it could source on a stand-alone basis. The next month, the company sold a 30% interest in Freeport LNG, which improved its liquidity and capital positions.

Currently, LNG continues to be involved in oil and gas exploration and believes they have sufficient cash to accomplish the company’s business plan until its debt begins to mature in August 2011.
