Skype has talked for years of a public offering on the market but news just circulated the investing world and nothing was ever done with it. Skype has a very big user database and has around 500,000,000 users and has a steady income from it’s services. It’s financials look great up to this point and they have predicted it to bring in a much bigger revenue and income after it has been released to the public for trade.

Goldman Sachs will me the major underwriter of the stock and handling the IPO. There has been no initial offering price stated in any release as of today so keep your eye’s peeled for the striking price.

As we watch the markets fall back and drop 1200 points from it’s high of around 11,000+ it’s important to understand that even with all the tax credits in the world given out that these aren’t going to be enough to fuel a economy for any long period of time. Census jobs have now ended and some of the same people who were hit hard by this recession, now find themselves once again out of work.

With each recession we have had in America and around the globe we always see new, fresh companies develop from them. Some go on to be big corporations and some stay small but pack one hell of a punch and continue to grow over time, as they figure out where they stand in line with big business. Penny markets are a brutal game but the brutality can be managed through finding out as much information as possible about there leadership, products and future out looks within there sector of business.

The penny stock markets share many huge booms and just as many bangs as companies fight to push forward above the next company to gain a big spot one day in to the top markets in the world. IPO’s open up almost weekly and you to can share in the up rise in the stock markets hay day. The web has a vast library of many things to research a stock pick and all the tools necessary to return a sizable income from your initial investment but just as there is much information online there are many out there willing to screw you and take you for a death ride to a 100% lose.

Always be prepared to research and get as deep into a companies background as far as you can read. Look at charts to see where there pricing history lays and wither they had a steady roller coaster or one big jump then a long stint of nothing or being inactive.

Te penny markets are a true life game of making and breaking one’s pocket and like any game in life we have to decide which game best fits our needs and goals .

Ebay has talked since they purchased skype about bringing it public to help generate more revenue and skype has just the appeal needed to take the helm of success but the simple fact is there has been no new news about the IPO of Skype and searches on news just bring back the information we already know it was simply talked about.

I have been googling and looking all over the web and simply have found no new news about the possibility of a skype ipo in the works. So again will this internet telecommunication company even see a ipo or was ebay just hyping it up in hopes it would generate some buzz to try and drive more members of the service.

What part of the first half of 2010 are we talking about the year or the companies fiscal year. These are two different terms when it comes to business. Fiscally april to april is the fiscal year so are we talking more the end of the 2010 year who knows only ebay can answer that question and at this moment all the news seems to be trenched in mystery.

I sold out at $.014 which left me a positive gainer of $166.79 after share price and commissions on buying and selling. (AROX) dropped back down midday to around $.0085 and then at close closed out at $.0035. I suspect this stock will have a ride up in the not so distant future.

I encourage everyone who reads my blog to check out AROX company name Alderox Inc. They deal in chemical mixtures for asphalt and paving materials. Don’t wait to be on the tail end of the next big jump. Grab it before it rides back up for yet another gainer.

Everyday for the past week we have watched the Dow Jones take 100-200 point plunges at market opening and some days they have rebounded to only finish a few points in the positive but why. What signals are we not catching and with the constant news about the oil spill off the Gulf Coast is this the driver of this gigantic Dow Jones disruption.

I have watched Caterpillar and John Deere both release forecasts of ramping up production and caterpillar beat the Wall Street projections. The day Caterpillar released it’s financial status and credit ratings were climbing again and forward look into the next quarter where set to be much better then the first quarter. Stocks rose about $5.00 which seems to be a normal trend then they normally drop back a few bucks but few bucks is far from where it seemed to drop at this present time. I have watched Caterpillar lose over $11.00 a share and dipping down on open today at $59.00 a share and of course John Deere always follows since they run in the same markets with Caterpillar.

Caterpillar has said there over all progress in the foreign markets were growing and business was picking up much better then expected but why is the stock prices dropped so much and exactly what is driving the markets to simply plummet to scary lows.

May 3,2010 opened @ $.30 Closing at $.47 up $.27 cents. Days gain of 74%

EVXA previous close at $.0073 April 30th

Opened May 3rd @ $.0085 at closed at $.02 for the day. Up 173.97% gain of $.0127 cents.

All though research is a very significant part of day trading or any trading in stocks. I like to follow what my gut tells me. Like every broker or personal trader we all have good and bad days. I’m no wizard and I do read some reports and then base my opinion on my own thinking factors.

I’m not a broker, or accountant or anything in the finances industry and will never claim to be and I simply follow my gut and the reports I research and information I find through the web. Due your research. Find what market best fits you and then study it. Everyone has there own strategies that work but there isn’t a true strategy out there that produces gains 100% of the time.

Even the top traders in some of the biggest firms and markets make big goofs. There isn’t a perfect trader on the market but you can minimize your risk and loses through dedicated research.

Number one rule in trading walk away up. No matter if that stock rises more I like to keep with the rule better to walk away a winner then lose everything at once.

EVXA opened at $.008 and traded in the upwards of $.027 for the day finishing off at $.02 with a $.0127 gain equaling a 173.97% gain. It is my recommendation to buy into this. EVXA deals in oil spill technology anda few other red bag medical waste deals. They created a technology in the oil industry and like every company have been hit with downfalls due to the economy. I believe this company will see great strides and gains in the coming future.

I have purchased even more of this stock as I have a gut feeling this could hit some more highs for the week and coming months.

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: STTN) announced that it has signed an agreement to provide PEO services to a national staffing firm. Smart-Tek estimates the deal will generate $30 million in annual gross billings in 2010, with a resulting gross reportable revenue (in compliance with GAAP) in excess of $4 million, subject to any adverse market changes.

“Many staffing companies are looking at alternative solutions to reduce their costs and increase their competitive edge,” said Kelly Mowrey, Chief Operating Officer of Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc. “The PEO service is a fantastic resource for staffing companies that want to gain nationwide exposure, but lack the resources to have a complete product line that will allow them to successfully enter or fully comply in each state. This contract allows our new client to concentrate its efforts on sales and recruiting and will allow Smart-Tek to perform all of its back-office responsibilities, while offering a broad suite of benefit products tailored to the temporary staffed employee.”
