Worldwide Manufacturing USA Inc. (WWMU.OB) Stock Owns Four Manufacturing Business Subsidiaries in China

It is not common to find Over-the-Counter (OTC) stock from California with four operating subsidiaries in China. A return of average equity in excess of 25% over the past four quarters makes this company even more interesting from a stock investment perspective. Deeper analysis leads to further reassurances about future stock value. The company is involved in making air-conditioners for automobiles. It has separate operations for producing electronic components and for making and machining dies. Since China has been at the center of so many quality failures during 2007, it is interesting to know that the company has a separate…

Echo Therapeutics Inc. (ECTE.OB) Contributes Enormous Healthcare Business Value

Regulatory approval marks a major milestone for investors exploring the business environment for exceptional stock opportunities in the healthcare sector.

This corporation from the sector of basic materials has a business presence in drilling that is sharp and broad at the same time.

Glamour in Waste

If it’s good enough for Tony Soprano, you might say, maybe it’s good enough to invest in. The fictitious (we think) New Jersey crime boss of the hit TV show, which just finished its illustrious HBO run, maintained his thin veneer of respectability with a number of front businesses, including, as he would casually say, “I’m in waste management.” Barone Brothers Sanitation, to be exact, though Tony had to be introduced to the office procedures by his hand-picked stooge as, surprise, Tony had never shown up to actually run the company.

It’s Not Always What You Think

Buy, sell or hold. Oddly enough, these recommendations hardly ever influence the viability of a stock loan… not a True Loan anyway. This is why so often TLP clients are baffled by which companies receive more favorable financing terms vs. the negative market perception of any particular company and/or its sector. Most stock loans, especially the “non-recourse” or the so called “Rule 144 Restricted Stock Loan”, require the transfer of ownership.
