NewMarket Technology, Inc. (NMKT.OB) Releases CEO Shareholder Letter Discussing Managed Services, Debt Reduction and Management Realignment

After watching his stock slide to half its value in the last month, NewMarket CEO Philip Verges was probably puzzled. He had a month of good press. He’d put out good news time and again; $4M in sales to Movistar, plans for $100M in recurring revenue, long term contracts, appearing at conferences and the like. So why was the stock taking a hit? One might speculate that it was due to general consumer confidence, or lack thereof, and all stocks suffered somewhat during that period, but this is not the case. As always, even during dour economic times, we have…

MyECheck, Inc. (MYEC.OB) – Times Are Changing For Online Transactions

It was just a short time ago - in fact less than 8 years - when 95% of all purchases online were made with a credit card. As Internet commerce increased, so did the desire for alternative methods of payment, and such services as Paypal were created. But history and consumer surveys both show that the use of some form of check is still one of the most preferred methods of payment, and it's been estimated in industry circles that, within a few short years, credit card transactions will be in the minority on the Internet. With that in mind,…

Applied DNA Sciences, Inc. (APDN.OB) – Protecting High-Quality Cotton Farmers’ Profitability

Applied DNA Sciences is doing important work for the high-grade cotton industry. The company has developed a DNA-based testing method that can accurately distinguish different types of cotton. Pima cotton is a highly sought-after, higher-priced product than traditional (also known as "Upland") cotton. It is known for its excellent fiber length, and strength.

A Whole New Lease on Life

Common wisdom holds that term life insurance is generally less expensive than whole-life (permanent) insurance. For those who are relatively young and in good health, this is probably true. However, as people grow older, term policies can become exponentially more expensive. If you think you will need life insurance protection for the rest of your life, and your group or term policy is about to expire – or you want to purchase more life insurance to cover current obligations, pay off debts, or provide a tax advantage for your heirs – now may be a good time to explore whole-life…

Although ETFs resemble index mutual funds, they actually have a lot in common with individual shares of stock. ETFs can be purchased on margin, sold short, and traded any time the markets are open. If you are seeking an investment that can offer the benefits of both mutual funds and stocks, an ETF may be an option to consider. An ETF is a passively managed portfolio of securities that is…
