Pacific Sands, Inc. (Public, PINK:PFSD) is a rapidly growing company that develops, markets, and sells unique, nontoxic, earth, health and child-friendly products for cleaning, pet care and pool/spa/water maintenance applications. Their main nontoxic product base utilizes a proprietary blend of botanicals, mineral extracts, and enzyme technologies – which are promised to deliver safe, effective and inexpensive alternatives for a broad range of commercial and industrial applications.

In a preliminary marketability study conducted by the Wal-Mart Innovation Network, the company’s core technology received the highest “Success Likelihood Score” ever granted in that program’s 22 year history. The founder of the program, Dr. Gerald Udel had this to say in his summary of the evaluation: “(Pacific Sands) has a classic hinge pin technology (and) such technologies are quite rare. Few technological innovations have so many potential applications and therefore, so many opportunities for success.”

Following is some of their products information:

• EcoOne Spa Treatment System

The company’s EcoOne Spa Treatment system was relaunched by Pacific Sands’ new management team in 2004 and has recently gained acceptance from the nation’s top distributors of pool and spa products.  The treatment system is added to spa water, resulting in the finest, easiest to use and safest water conditioner on the market today. Spa water will be softer, clearer, with no odors, no foam and no irritation to the eyes and skin. EcoOne can greatly reduce the need for the vast majority of existing complicated chemical spa care regimens

• EcoOne Pool Conditioner

EcoOne technology is also applied to larger scale water installations such as pools. It is a nontoxic additive that reduces and/or eliminates scum lines, scaling and cloudy water, and it also helps to stabilize pH and alkalinity by reducing chemical overuse. The product is added once a month to condition water

• EcoOne Spa Pre-Filter

They introduced this product in early 2005.  The product is able to solve most startup spa and pool water problems without the use of chemicals.  The product saves money, time, and significant effort by removing or reducing most common water contaminants from the water as it is added to the pool or spa.

They also recently report strong fiscal 2012 second quarter sales growth.  They announced that for the fiscal second quarter of 2012 ended December 31, 2011, sales were $416,661, an increase of 41.4% compared with $294,623 in fiscal second quarter 2011. Fiscal first half sales of $769,491 were 26.3% higher than the previous year’s first half (read: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/pacific-sands-inc-reports-strong-fiscal-2012-second-quarter-sales-growth-2012-01-06?reflink=MW_news_stmp).

Sunergy, Inc. (Public, PINK: SNEY) currently engages in the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties in British Columbia, Canada and Ghana, West Africa.  The company owns a 100% interest in one mineral claim, consisting of 15 cells, collectively known as the Hummingbird property, which is located in the Vancouver Mining Division approximately 25 kilometers north-northeast of Powell River, British Columbia and 100 kilometers northwest of the city of Vancouver.  The company also explores for gold, silver, and copper deposits.  Sunergy, Inc. is based in West Vancouver, Canada.

The company holds two properties, which are the Humming Bird Property and the Nyinahin Mining Concession.  In October 2008, they entered into an agreement with General Metals Corporation for the acquisition of its 100% owned Nyinahin Mining Concession located in Ghana, West Africa.  In October 2010, they decided to acquire Allied Mining and Supply, LLC.

During the due diligence of the planned acquisition, they found that was substantial Rare Earth Elements (REEs) contained in the 140.1 sq. km. Pampana river concession in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Final documents are being prepared to close this acquisition and plans are underway to finance operations in Sierra Leone immediately thereafter. Substantial gold has also been determined to be contained in the concession. Data indicates gold concentrations ranging from 1 to 18 grams per tonne of material. Fire assays conducted in Freetown by the Company show the gold purity at 89%. Over 500,000 ounces are contained in reports in the top 28% of the 140 sq. km. concession and further testing shows continuity.

I haven’t had a chance to update my blog in a long time ever since I’ve been busy with my other blog, gohaceem.com – which is more like a personal blog, where I post funny stuff, movie reviews, etc.  I think starting from now on, I’m going to try to be more diligent in updating this blog.

I recently started playing around with stock simulator on Investopedia.com.  They give you $100,000 (not real money though) to play around with and you can use it to buy stocks or options (again, this is just a game; it’s not real).  This is definitely a good practice for you all who are trying to learn how to invest in stocks/options or to learn how to be a day trader.  I highly recommend you to try Investopedia Stock Simulator for practice.

Quote of the Day:
He who knows he has enough is rich. – Lao-tzu

Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ) has asked the Securities and Exchange Commission to extend its suspension of rules requiring a minimum $1 closing bid price and a minimum market value for shares listed on its exchange.

The SEC approved the suspension of Nasdaq’s “penny stock” requirement, which requires shares of listed companies to stay above $1, in October, saying companies were in temporary need of relief.

Typically, companies listed on Nasdaq are required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1 a share. If a company trades below the $1 closing price for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will then allow the company 180 calendar days to regain compliance and can permit an additional 180 days depending on the company’s exact listing standards. If the company isn’t able to boost its share price in that period, it faces delisting from the exchange.

Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man. – Kahlil Gibran

I found this on The Motley Fool Website which I thought it was pretty interesting.  I decided to share it with you all readers.  The title of the article is The Next Million-Dollar Penny Stock.

Need proof? Every one of these multibaggers was, at one time, a penny stock:

Company	Recent Price	CAPS Stars (5 Max)	Five-Year Return
GMX Resources (Nasdaq: GMXR)	$23.84	***	1,590.8%
Questcor Pharmaceuticals (Nasdaq: QCOR)	$9.30	***	1,424.6%
Covanta Holding (NYSE: CVA)	$21.58	****	598.4%
AK Steel (NYSE: AKS)	$9.76	***	152.2%
Vimpel-Communications (NYSE: VIP)	$9.50	****	114.9%

Sources: Motley Fool CAPS, Yahoo! Finance.

The promise of outrageous returns is why some of the world’s best stock pickers are, at times, penny-stock investors. Peter Lynch has and still does enjoy the stock market’s supercheap seats. The Royce Low-Priced Stock fund has beaten the market for a decade by betting on stocks trading near or below $10 a share, such as Silver Standard Resources (Nasdaq: SSRI).

Even the All-Stars in our 120,000-plus Motley Fool CAPS community take to penny stocks. More than a few have been richly rewarded.  So why don’t you invest in penny stocks? I suppose because the SEC has warned us about them. But what if we take the agency’s definition literally and limit our choices to stocks trading between $1.50 and $5 a share, and limit our choices to four- and five-star stocks whose market cap doesn’t exceed $2 billion but is at least $250 million? Surely our new CAPS screener would return some winners, right?
