			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.crowdgather.com/">CrowdGather Inc.</a> (OTCBB: CRWG) is a leading developer and operator of online forum-based communities that combines social media and content to compete alongside companies ranging from LinkedIn Corporation (NASDAQ: LNKD) to IAC Interactive Corp (NASDAQ: IACI).</p>
<p>The company provides a highly interactive and informational social network for members, a management and revenue-sharing resource for third-party forum owners, and a largely untapped advertising network for marketers worldwide.</p>
<p>To test the potential of this social network, the company has teamed up with Human Pheromone Sciences Inc. (OTCBB: EROX) to launch its new <a href="http://www.erox.com/">Erox® fragrance</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Science-based Product with Celebrity Endorsement</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather’s Erox® fragrance includes two patented human pheromones and a new patent-pending, organic pheromone-like compound derived from sea coral. These ingredients combine to create a fragrance that has been <a href="http://www.erox.com/the-erox-formula">proven to cause</a> feelings of confidence and well-being, as well as an increase in arousal, excitement, sensuality and social warmth.</p>
<p>The fragrance is being endorsed by reality star, popular television host and self-proclaimed lover of geekdom <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/AdrianneCurry">Adrianne Curry</a> in a new <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/CrowdGather-Launches-New-bw-301719053.html?x=0">social media campaign</a>. The company will market the product through its affiliate market channels and launch it through the use of social media and forum communities that it owns and operates.</p>
<p><strong>A Proof of Concept to Validate Its Powerful Networks</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather has developed a powerful advertising network for marketers around the world that remains largely untapped. The launch of Erox® is one way that the company aims to demonstrate the value of this expansive network to advertisers. Ultimately, this should help to drive higher CPMs and unlock real value for shareholders.</p>
<p>The company may also pursue the standalone potential of this business model. With its powerful network, the firm can just as easily partner with other companies and launch products along any number of different verticals. This could also dramatically increase its top and bottom line without having to rely on outside sources of revenue.</p>
<p><strong>Results are Already Better than They Appear</strong></p>
<p>During its fiscal 2012, <a href="http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=203349&amp;p=irol-newsArticle&amp;ID=1639795&amp;highlight=">CrowdGather reported</a> just a modest increase in revenues on the surface, but there was a large shift happening below the surface. The company generated more than half of its revenues from its acquisition of the Adisn ad agency during fiscal 2011, but this focus changed to its core business of monetizing forums in fiscal 2012. The result is a higher-margin business that has been rapidly growing to replace the low margin segment that’s being phased out.</p>
<p>And during the second quarter ended October 31, 2011, the company generated between 230 and 235 million monthly page views across all of its properties, compared to just 80 to 90 million during the same period in fiscal 2010. These traffic figures represent the pent-up potential in its expansive advertising network that it hopes to capitalize on over the coming quarters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Xtreme Oil &amp; Gas Inc. (OTCBB: XTOG), an independent energy company located in Texas, similar to companies like Rosetta Resources Inc. (NASDAQ: ROSE) and PrimeEnergy Corporation (NASDAQ: PNRG), recently announced a successful water flood injection that should help move its property closer to production.</em></p>
<p>Xtreme Oil &amp; Gas, Inc.(OTCQB: XTOG.OB) (OTC.BB: XTOG.OB), an independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, and production of crude oil, is pleased to announce that the company has received confirmation that its water flood injection technique at its 5 Star West Thrifty Texas property has been successful in creating pressure and fluid recovery to the production wells.</p>
<p>The water flood injection method employed here injects water back into a reservoir to increase pressure and stimulate oil production. The injections of water come from strategically placed wells and pumps that wash the trapped oil out of the formation towards the producing wellbores. The effectiveness of this technique is demonstrated when the presence of oil and water appear in the targeted production wells.</p>
<p>&#8220;Management is extremely pleased to announce that our strategic drilling methods have been validated,&#8221; stated Mr. McAndrew, CEO of Xtreme Oil &amp; Gas. &#8220;The communication amongst our wells signals that we are rapidly approaching significant oil extraction from our West Thrifty Texas location. The drilling site is currently 1,200 acres and has previously produced over 8 million barrels of oil. In keeping with our strategic drilling initiatives, we expect to begin oil production from this site in late February.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>About Xtreme Oil &amp; Gas<br />
</strong>Xtreme Oil &amp; Gas, Inc. is a rapidly growing Dallas-based independent energy company engaged in the exploration, development, acquisition, and production of crude oil and natural gas with operations from properties it owns in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas. The company&#8217;s oilfield services disposes of saltwater for independent energy producers.</p>
<p><strong>Forward-Looking Statements<br />
</strong>Statements included in this release related to Xtreme Oil &amp; Gas, Inc. constitute or may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties such as the inherent uncertainty of finding and developing oil and gas properties, the technological and financial difficulties inherent in these activities, the price of hydrocarbons and the Company&#8217;s ability to estimate accurately net revenues due to variability in size, scope and duration of projects.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Omni-Lite Industries Canada Inc. (TSX-V: OML) is a rapidly growing technology company that manufactures precision components for a variety of clients, including Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. Military. But unlike AMETEK Inc. (NYSE: AME) and Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR), the company specializes in manufacturing parts for Tier-1 suppliers, who then assemble these components into final products.</p>
<p>Omni-Lite Industries is well known for its design and material engineering that uses advanced multi-die cold-forging equipment to robotically produce aerospace quality parts at very rapid production rates. While about half of its revenues come from the U.S. military, the remainder of its revenue mix is diversified between aerospace, specialty automotive, EV/Hybrid Battery and Sports and Recreational sectors.</p>
<p><strong>Omni-Lite Appears Undervalued</strong></p>
<p>Omni-Lite <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Omni-Lite-Industries-Reports-cnw-206845909.html?x=0">reported revenues</a> of $5.4 million and net income of $962,620, or 7 cents per diluted share, during the nine months ended September 20, 2011. The company expects to release it’s audited 2011 annual results in April 2012. Meanwhile, the firm recorded assets of $25 million compared to liabilities of $5.5 million, yielding shareholders’ equity of nearly $20 million, or approximately $1.49 per share.</p>
<p>Currently, the company’s stock trades at approximately $1.40 per share, which suggests it undervalued based on both its intrinsic value and earnings multiple relative to its peers. The stock has a price-earnings multiple of around 15.5x, compared to an industry average 23.9x, and trades at nearly a 3% discount to its shareholders’ equity.  Moreover, the company has a 2x per year dividend of .02 cents = .04/2.7% yield at current prices, and $4.9 mill cash on-hand.</p>
<p><strong>Growth Prospects on the Horizon</strong></p>
<p>Omni-Lite <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Omni-Lite-Receives-Orders-For-cnw-1267905544.html?x=0">recently announced</a> 2 new orders from its Military “Green Round” Customer for components on additional caliber ammunition and has several large programs scheduled to come online during the first half of 2012, which would be expected to increase yearly sales significantly.  These projects include orders from a major supplier of ABS brake components; an EV/Hybrid battery manufacturer; Ford’s new Scorpion diesel engine, and the Military’s Tier-1 supplier of the recently re-designed M-16 ammunition.</p>
<p>These press releases and the overall turning of the economy indicate that the company may soon resume its growth trajectory. Given its apparent undervaluation, this suggests that the stock could be poised for significant gains over the coming quarters. And this makes it a stock that is definitely worth watching for investors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liberator Inc. (OTCBB: LUVU) is a dynamic high-growth and vertically integrated company capitalizing on the emerging sexual wellness revolution through the worldwide marketing of the Liberator® brand, which competes in a large and growing market with few known brands other than Church &amp; Dwight’s (NYSE: CHD) Trojan® and Johnson &amp; Johnson’s (NYSE: JNJ) K-Y® brands.</p>
<p><strong>Sexual Wellness: A Rapidly Growing Market</strong></p>
<p>The sexual wellness market has taken off over the past decade and could reach $1.1 billion this year, according to a report from the Icon Group International. From condoms to lubricants, major retailers are not only prominently displaying sexual wellness items on their store shelves, but increasing the space dedicated to selling these items over time.</p>
<p>Consumer demand is also on the rise. Some 65% of people do not currently use products to enhance their sex lives, but 50% would like to begin using them, according to a report by Harris Interactive. With products becoming more mainstream and appearing at major retailers, these consumers may pull the trigger in greater numbers, driving the industry forward.</p>
<p><strong>Liberator is Well-Positioned to Capitalize</strong></p>
<p>Liberator is focused on designing luxury and lovestyle brands for consumers in the sexual wellness segment. The company’s products include Liberator® shapes and positioning systems, pleasure objects and sensual accessories that are sold through more than 1,500 domestic retailers, online affiliates and six international licensees.  Since inception in 2002, the company has sold over $60 million of its branded Liberator products.</p>
<p>The company has also launched several strong marketing campaigns. Its products have appeared in movies, like <em>Meet the Fockers</em> and <em>Burn After Reading</em>, as well as in magazines ranging from <em>Rolling Stone</em> to <em>Forbes</em> to <em>Cosmopolitan</em>. More recently, the firm has announced a book deal with Quiver Books and an ad on Howard Stern’s SiriusXM radio station.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>Liberator represents a great investment opportunity to consider ahead of this Valentine’s Day. With end markets that continue to grow and market campaigns in full swing, the company appears set to dramatically build value for shareholders.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CrowdGather Inc. (OTCBB: CRWG), a leading developer and operator of online forum based communities that combine social media and content to compete alongside companies ranging from LinkedIn Corporation (NASDAQ: LNKD) to Jive Software (NASDAQ: JIVE), could see increased investor recognition and demand after Facebook’s much anticipated initial public offering.</p>
<p>In fact, Facebook’s anticipated valuation of more than $100 billion could prove to be a very positive development for the Internet sector’s valuations on traffic and unique visitors. With revenues of just $3.7 billion and net income of $1 billion, this equates to a lofty price-earnings multiple of around 100x, if the company IPO’s as expected over the coming quarters.</p>
<p><strong>Investors’ Strong Appetite for Facebook</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Most estimates of Facebook’s valuation are drawn from private securities markets, such as SharesPost. In a recent auction, the company’s stock was valued at about $94 billion ahead of its IPO in the public markets, according to Bloomberg &lt;<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-03/facebook-is-valued-at-94-billion-in-auction-of-shares-on-private-market.html">http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-03/facebook-is-valued-at-94-billion-in-auction-of-shares-on-private-market.html</a></span>&gt; . And with plans to raise $5 billion in capital, Facebook’s IPO will become the largest ever for an Internet company.</p>
<p>The $94 to $100 billion valuation would put it ahead of other Internet companies like Google Inc. when it went public and well ahead of many smaller companies in the space, like CrowdGather Inc. However, some analysts believe that the higher valuation could actually help improve the valuation of other Internet stocks on a relative basis.</p>
<p><strong>Looking at Smaller Undervalued Players</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Investors looking for an opportunity to ride the Facebook “effect” may want to consider some of the industry’s smaller, lesser known players. After all, a quick glance at other recent IPOs over the past year have shown some lackluster performance. For instance, Pandora is trading down more than 20% from its IPO price, while LinkedIn is trading down some 15% from its IPO price.</p>
<p>CrowdGather is one such “under the radar” microcap stock trading just above book value with insider buying close to and higher than current prices.  With a market capitalization of just $23.2 million, the company is relatively unknown to many larger investors, but may offer small investors a great opportunity. And recently, the stock quietly doubled from 20 to 40 cents per share on higher-than-average volume.</p>
<p><strong>A Solid Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>CrowdGather’s network generates between 220 and 225 million monthly pageviews and 16 to 18 million monthly unique visitors, according to recent 10-Q filings. Meanwhile, its 81 properties and 599 domain names cover a wide variety of market verticals, which makes it a perfect tool for marketers looking to reach targeted audiences.</p>
<p>Online forums are also a unique place where people discuss specific products, services oreven brands. For instance, the company’s ZuneBoards.com focuses on Microsoft’s Zune MP3 player and related accessories. As a result, this audience is widely seen to be far more likely to make recommendations and post reviews in addition to simply purchasing products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Liberator Inc. (OTCBB: LUVU) is a dynamic high-growth and vertically integrated company capitalizing on the emerging sexual wellness revolution through the worldwide marketing of the Liberator® brand. In this white paper, Small Cap Insights reveals that the market for sexual wellness products is growing among retails, like CVS Caremark Corporation (NYSE: CVS) and Walgreen Company (NYSE: WAG).</em></p>
<p>Liberator, Inc. (OTCBB/OTCQB: LUVU), a dynamic high-growth and vertically integrated company capitalizing on the emerging sexual wellness revolution through the worldwide marketing of the Liberator® brand, announces the availability of a white paper on the growing market for sexual health and wellness products, by market analyst Arthur Goldgaber of SmallcapInsights.com.</p>
<p>Entitled &#8220;Growing Acceptance and Appeal of Sexual Wellness Category Boosts Sales,&#8221; the white paper describes how numerous major health and wellness retailers, pharmacies and online stores have begun embracing the movement, especially in the last two to three years.</p>
<p>The white paper states, &#8220;From 2003 to 2008, executives at big chains like CVS stated that they had more than quadrupled the shelf space devoted to sex products.  With greater and more prominent retail space for sexual wellness products, sales for the category rose 31% from 2007 to 2009, according to research firm Mintel.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report went on to state, &#8220;Even before selling the sexual wellness items at their brick-and-mortar stores, drugstores offered many of these products online for a decade or more. In fact, online sales of sexual wellness products on mainstream e-commerce sites continue to be robust. Well-known brand names appear in the top three positions when performing a Google search for &#8220;sexual wellness,&#8221; including Amazon.com, Walgreens.com and Overstock.com. Nevertheless, many experts believe the sexual wellness category is in the early stages of consumer awareness and that its explosive growth will continue to gain consumer acceptance.&#8221;</p>
<p>The report also highlights Liberator, Inc. and its unique line of Liberator® branded products as an example of a fast-growing company that has been at the forefront of the growing mainstream acceptance of sexual wellness products, especially among major publications like <em>Men&#8217;s Journal</em>,<em>Rolling Stone</em> and <em>Redbook</em>, where the company&#8217;s magazine ads regularly receive over 10 million monthly views.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jim Cramer preaches to buy broken stocks, not broken companies.  Cramer may be typically referencing big board listed stocks, but the same adage can certainly hold true for small and micro-cap companies with proven leadership, revenue-generating offerings and a share price going through a dip.  AltiGen Communications, Inc. (OTCQX:ATGN), a leading provider of integrated Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT)-based Unified Communications solutions who has recently done business with several major North American and European service providers, is actively penetrating Fortune 1000 companies with its new suite of applications for Microsoft’s UC solution, Lync Server 1010. As such, it is a company that falls right into the wheelhouse of Cramer’s proverb.</p>
<p><strong>The History</strong></p>
<p>AltiGen is not new to the communications industry.  The company built its brand more than a decade ago when it married the best features of a personal computer with the best a telephone had to offer and set the telephony industry on its side with advancements.  Because of its legacy systems as a leader in PBX technology, AltiGen has been ranked as one of the top ten Unified Communications vendors in the United States by both the Gartner Group and Nemertes.</p>
<p>Sensing an industry shift from outdated PBX systems ready to happen, AltiGen has migrated to software-based solutions to provide seamless integration of Microsoft infrastructure technologies to its more than 10,000 clients.  This was a prophetic move by AltiGen to maintain its leadership position in the integrated communications space.  Gartner’s recent findings in its 2011 report stated, “the unified communications portfolios have begun to mature with the emergence of integrated UC suites.”  Once again, AltiGen was a step ahead of the curve by being the first independent software vendor to market with its latest portfolio of products.</p>
<p><strong>Transition to Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>The swing in business model produced a lag in news that appears to have dampened investor sentiment temporarily.  The ATGN share price faded from its normal range around 80 cents and well-off its 2011 high of $1.23 as shares touched 20 cents in December of 2011.  Resurgence in news this month has quickly pulled the value of an AltiGen share off of those lows with shares appreciating by more than 80 percent, but still below its normal trading range.</p>
<p>The news showed that AltiGen is back on the move and adding to its portfolio of more than 10,000 clients.  The company is expanding its international footprint through new partnerships with the top Microsoft Unified Communications partners to deliver AltiGen&#8217;s MaxACD contact center solution for Microsoft Lync. <a href="http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/eurodata-systems-ltd-altigen-communications-inc-partner-deliver-altigens-maxacd-contact-otcqx-atgn-1606457.htm">A recent deal</a> with Eurodata Systems Ltd, a leading provider to the UK&#8217;s public and private sector, has already netted an initial services contract with the Association of Accounting Technicians.  Tool giant Milwaukee Electric Tool also joined the AltiGen client list with <a href="http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/milwaukee-electric-tool-powers-customer-service-with-altigens-maxacd-otcqx-atgn-1610131.htm">a new agreement</a> which will feature AltiGen’s MaxACD system supporting 20 domestic service centers of Milwaukee Electric Tool.</p>
<p>A quick look at<a href="http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/altigen-communications-inc-reports-first-quarter-fiscal-2012-financial-results-otcqx-atgn-1608404.htm"> the company’s recent report</a> on operational results from the first fiscal quarter of 2012 shows several important facts.  Revenue increased to $4.8 million from $4.3 million in the final quarter of fiscal 2011 and net loss contracted from $861,000 in Q4 2011 to only $9,000 in Q1 2012.  It looks like AltiGen is turning the corner and starting to gain better industry traction with their Microsoft Lync technologies.</p>
<p>It also cannot be overlooked that <a href="http://secfilings.com/SearchResults.aspx?ticker=ATGN">Form 4 filings</a> show that in December AltiGen chief Jerry Fleming bought approximately 100,000 shares between 62 and 80 cents.</p>
<p><strong>Fodder for Thought – Management Has Been There, Done That</strong></p>
<p>Modifying to meet the ever-changing demands of technology is a strongpoint for AltiGen execs.  Chariman and founder Gilbert Hu was the founder of Centrum Communications, a pioneer in the remote networking industry, which was acquired by 3Com Corporation in 1994, which was later bought by Hewlett-Packard in 2010 for $2.7 billion.</p>
<p>President and CEO Jeremiah J. Fleming served as a member of the executive management team of Interactive Intelligence, Inc. (NASDAQ:ININ) during its launch of subsidiary Vonexus to focus on Microsoft-based IP communications solutions.  Fleming was appointed as President of Vonexus and eventually promoted to senior executive roles at Interactive Intelligence when it went public.  Shares have been trending up for nine years and still trade for nearly $30 each.</p>
<p>CFO Philip M. McDermott formerly was the VP of Finance, Operations and Administration for DAVID Systems, a division of Chipcom Corporation, a public networking company that was acquired by 3Com Corp.  After the acquisition, McDermott served as Director of Finance for Americas Sales for 3Com before coming to AltiGen.</p>
<p>The list of AltiGen directors carries on the pattern of a long lineage of ties to major corporations in the industry that should prove beneficial as AltiGen continues to grow.  And, they know a thing or two about mergers and acquisitions, to say the least.</p>
<p>AlitGen has a tiny float, tiny market cap and huge potential.  The stock price may be broken at the moment, but the company looks to be getting stronger than ever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Profire Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE), a provider of burner management systems to the oil and gas industry, similar to companies like Flotek Industries Inc. (NYSE: FTK) and Cameron International Corp (NYSE: CAM), recently announced the opening of a new office in Texas that will facilitate sales and provide technical support to U.S. clients.</em></p>
<p>Profire Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE) announced the opening of an office in Houston, Texas. The office will facilitate sales, provide in-field technical support for existing and new clients and house inventory. Profire Energy currently services a number of integrated and exploration oil and gas companies in Texas.</p>
<p>Cameron Tidball, Profire Energy&#8217;s Regional Sales Manager, commented, &#8220;Opening an office in Houston is a logical step in our growth and development plan, as Houston is a major hub for head offices of companies engaged in the oil and gas industry, including global companies such as ConocoPhillips and EOG Resources. We believe our presence in Houston will allow us to better capitalize on the region&#8217;s growth potential for burner management systems (BMS) and other related products. Further, a Houston office will allow us to provide local attention and product support to existing and potential customers in this energy-rich state. We are confident the Profire 2100, our latest BMS controller, will thrive in Texas and throughout the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Texas Energy Market</strong></p>

According to information from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Texas&#8217; 27 petroleum refineries can process nearly 4.7 million barrels of crude oil per day, and account for more than one-fourth of all U.S. refining capacity. Moreover, approximately three-tenths of total U.S. natural gas production occurs in Texas, making it the nation&#8217;s leading natural gas producer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As the “green revolution” continues to gain traction, future valuations for companies such as New Energy Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB:NENE) could escalate dramatically.  New Energy Technologies, a developer of innovative alternative and renewable energy technologies is  sharing space with peers such as First Solar, Inc. (NASDAQ:FSLR) and SunPower Corp. (NASDAQ:SPWR), is reaching advanced stages in development of two, “one-of-a-kind” technologies that can set the industry on its side.</p>
<p><strong>Motion Power Energy Harvester</strong></p>
<p>New Energy’s Motion Power™-Express technology generates electricity from the motion of vehicles and carries with it countless potential uses.  A series of small, rumble strip-like treadles, the Motion Power system harvests kinetic (or “rolling”) energy from vehicles as they slow before coming  to a stop.  This captured kinetic energy is then converted to electricity.  New Energy is developing both “Light” (for cars and light trucks) and “Heavy” (heavy trucks, rigs, buses, etc.) versions of its Motion Power™ Systems.</p>
<p>The system was showcased in October 2011 at the Civic Center in Roanoke, Virginia through a six-hour demonstration in front of thousands of viewers.  Over 580 vehicles participated by driving across the Motion Power™-Express System with the captured energy being used to illuminate lighted displays to the drivers.  Even with this smaller-scale demonstration, enough sustainable electricity was generated to power an average home or a 150 square foot sports venue electronic billboard for an entire day, according to engineers’ estimates.</p>
<p>As New Energy continues to work towards commercialization, the number of possible uses for this unique product is mind-boggling.  The debut demonstration only used less than 700 of the more than 250 million cars that are on the streets in the United States today for six hours; opening the door to the enormous potential for a fully scalable model.  Sports venues (or venues of any fashion for that matter), toll booths, construction zones, drive-thru restaurants, truck stops, parking garages and rest areas are just a few of the possible locations to generate clean, sustainable energy to cut costs and reduce dependence on fossil fuels that account for roughly 70 percent of all electricity generated today.</p>
<p><strong>Solar Window</strong><strong>™ Provides a Clear View to the Future</strong></p>
<p>Almost everyone knows what typical rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems are.  Those systems are continuously seeing more use and serve a great purpose for creating electricity from the sun’s light, but they have several limitations.  Primarily, the panels must be installed at an angle and direction towards the sun.  These systems only work with sunlight and require a lot of rooftop area to generate substantial amounts of electrical energy.</p>
<p>New Energy Technologies has taken the limitations of solar PV systems to the next level.  The company is developing six different product lines of its first-in-class SolarWindow™ technology, which enables see-through windows to generate electricity by spraying the glass surfaces with a revolutionary electricity-generating coating.  New Energy is developing these products through an exclusive world-wide licensing agreement with the University of South Florida (USF) together with a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy—National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).</p>
<p>These solar windows use a far thinner coating (1/1000th the thickness of human hair) than any other solar technology in the world; allowing for the windows to remain see-through.  Moreover, electricity is generated from both natural and artificial light, making the windows far more versatile.  From a production standpoint, the spray-on coating (applied at room temperature) eliminates the great expenses involved with high-temperature or high-vacuum production methods typically required in manufacturing conventional solar PV and thin-film systems.</p>
<p>In a recent public display of its working prototype, the technology produced sufficient voltage to power lights and generated enough current to operate a mechanical device at an event attended by mainstream media, scientists, academics, industry participants, and investors. During the demonstration, the SolarWindow™ generated electrical power from exposure to sunlight and also artificial light (a fluorescent light was used).</p>
<p>There are more than 5 million commercial buildings in the U.S. and more than 80 million single detached homes.  Much like the Motion Power technology, the market potential is virtually endless for New Energy Technologies.  Aiming to protect their intellectual property, New Energy has more than 40 patent submissions to date for the SolarWindow™ and Motion Power™ technologies.</p>
<p><strong>The Future is Now</strong></p>
<p>The idea of perpetual energy may not be a possibility as a sheer consequence of physics, but the technologies of New Energy Technologies may be the next best thing.  For investors, the company is well-aligned with a tight share structure of only 20.6 million shares outstanding.  Insiders hold more than 40 percent of those shares, leaving roughly 12 million freely tradable shares available.  Many developmental firms decimate their capital structure building-out their technologies, but such is not the case with New Energy Technologies as they head towards commercialization.  Weighing-in with a paltry $25 million market cap, the upside for this cutting-edge company is large, to say the least.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Webxu Inc. (OTCBB: WBXU) is a media company that owns and operates a network of consumer-oriented web properties and businesses in the online customer acquisition and e-commerce fields. With Internet Brands now privately held and several IPOs hitting the market,we believe the company represents an attractive play on Internet alongside IAC Interactive Corp (NASDAQ: IACI) and Demand Media Inc. (NYSE: DMD).</p>
<p><strong>Internet Brands Buyout Demonstrates Value</strong></p>
<p>Internet Brands was <a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/2010/09/20/internet-brands-goes-private-again/">purchased by Hellman &amp; Friedman</a> for about $640 million in a leveraged buyout back in September of 2010. With 2010 revenues estimated at $113.5 million and net income of $13.7 million, based on Q2 and Q3 2010 results, the company was a very attractive target for the private equity marketplace.</p>
<p>The buyout occurred at a significant premium due to high interest on the part of private equity firms in profitable Internet companies. In fact, the same firm has invested in companies ranging from DoubleClick (later acquired by Google) to Getty Images. We believe that Webxu strongly resembles this business, which makes it a stock definitely worth watching.</p>
<p><strong>Internet IPOs Further Highlight Valuations</strong></p>
<p>The recent wave of Internet IPOs has further validated the sector’s potential. These companies have included Angie’s List Inc. (NASDAQ: ANGI), Groupon Inc. (NASDAQ: GRPN), LinkedIn Corp (NASDAQ: LNKD), Pandora Media Inc. (NASDAQ: P) and Zynga Inc. (NASDAQ: ZNGA) among others and they have performed fairly well given the current economic climate.</p>
<p>In fact, all of these IPOs were able to price highly during their initial public offerings, despite some recent retracements as early investors book profits. And while some media pundits may be criticizing the group for a lack of profits, they <a href="http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2011/12/profitable-to-be-or-not-to-be.html">fail to realize</a> that it’s more profitable for the companies to reinvest in their own growth than realize an immediate net income.</p>
<p><strong>Webxu Could be Next after Filling the Void</strong></p>
<p>Webxu is focused on providing high ROI’s for their advertiser clients via their owned and operated network of web properties. By excelling at data management, testing and optimization, the company is able to generate significant revenues from their properties. And this business model is very similar to that of Internet Brands and other successful industry competitors.</p>
<p>The company has been trading publicly since October of 2011 and represents a relatively new player in the market. On a pro forma basis following its acquisition of Lot6 Media in November, the company generated $19.6 million in revenue, $2.5 million in EBITDA, and a net income of $0.16 per share, for the 9-month period ending September 30, 2011, according to its latest <a href="http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1416729/000114420411066136/v241262_10q.htm">10-Q filing</a>.</p>
<p>According to their most recent <a href="http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1416729/000114420412001452/v245014_8k.htm">8-K filing</a>, Webxu announced their intention to purchase a data management and monetization company whose unaudited preliminary financial statements reflect 2011 performance of $28.9 million in revenue with $5.6 million in EBITDA.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>We believe that Webxu represents an attractive investment opportunity for two reasons. First, it strongly resembles Internet Brands, which was sold to a private equity firm in 2010 during a tough market. And second, it has yet to realize any of the upside seen by many recent internet IPOs, which means that it could be overdue for a higher valuation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The power of pheromones is well-documented.  Nationally recognized publications such as the Washington Post, NY Times and Fortune Magazine have all written on the potency of the chemicals emitted by one individual to evoke behavior in others of the same species.  CrowdGather, Inc. (OTCBB:CRWG), a leading developer and operator of online forum-based communities building its presence in the same internet space as companies such as LinkedIn Corporation (NASDAQ: LNKD) and IAC Interactive Corp (NASDAQ: IACI), is taking the knowledge of pheromones to whole new level.  A social level.</p>
<p>Through its partnership with industry expert Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB:EROX), CrowdGather is ratcheting up the widely-popular activity of communicating on forums through Erox, a pheromone-filled fragrance formulated to make people more chatty.  Erox is the first commercial product to contain Human Pheromone Sciences&#8217; patent pending Muiricin Angluycone (ER303), a compound that has been shown to increase arousal, excitement, social-warmth, and sensuality in both men and women during a double blind placebo controlled study.  If that wasn’t enough, Erox also contains two human pheromones, Androstadienone (ADO) and Estratetraenol (ETE), which have been proven to increase feelings of confidence and well-being in the wearers and those around them.</p>
<p>CrowdGather has the exclusive rights to distribute the product online through affiliate internet marketing channels.  Adrianne Curry, the reality star and television host who found fame as the first winner of “America’s Next Top Model” as well as her starring roles in VH1’s hit series the “Surreal Life” and “My Fair Brady,” will be serving as the spokesperson for CrowdGather’s social media campaign to launch Erox.  All jazzed-up over the new product, Adrianne Curry commented, &#8220;I love the idea of using a fragrance that actually makes people more social.  Erox is fun and flirty with a broad appeal due to its unisex nature.&#8221;</p>
<p>The marketing campaign will feature content geared towards entertainment and will be introduced through CrowdGather-owned websites and forums as well as through other community forums, online advertising and social media stalwarts Twitter and Facebook.</p>
<p>It’s really a perfect storm for CrowdGather to launch a product that will generate revenue from all angles.  Further, it will showcase the power of CrowdGather’s internet marketing channels and the potential of marketing through them.  CrowdGather CEO Sanjay Sanani sees the true value as he explained, &#8220;The development, marketing and launch of Erox marks the first social media product launch for CrowdGather, a business model we intend to pursue going forward.”</p>
<p>With a market capitalization that is drastically lower than its industry peers, CrowdGather represents an undervalued opportunity that is not frequently seen in companies building a strong online presence.  The launch of Erox has apparently emitted a pheromone that has been picked-up by the investment community.  Shares of CRWG have appreciated by more than 50 percent in just over a week from a solid support level at 11 cents to trade at 17 cents on some notably heavy volume trading days.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Santa Fe Gold Corporation (OTCBB: SFEG.OB) today reported that its Summit silver-gold mine in southwestern New Mexico is expected to achieve commercial production during January 2012. Mechanized long-hole mining of the ore body began in December 2011 and has proved to be very successful. At the targeted production rate of 400 tons per day, output during 2012 is anticipated to increase by 400% from 2011 levels. Annual revenues over the life of mine are projected to approximate $40 million at recent gold and silver prices. Operating costs are estimated to be $364 per ounce of gold equivalent produced. Ore reserve grades over the life of mine are estimated to average 10.78 ounces per ton silver and 0.143 ounces per ton gold.</p>
<p>“The production ramp up has been aided significantly by the $25 million debt financing completed in December”, said Dr Pierce Carson, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In particular, we have been able to acquire additional underground equipment, which will help in the mining and removal of ore from the mine. Currently awaiting removal there are about 10,000 tons of drilled and blasted broken ore underground.”</p>
<p>Dr. Carson continued, “We are continuing to operate the Lordsburg mill two 8-hour shifts per day, five days a week, and the Summit underground mine two 10-hour shifts a day, seven days a week. We have added to our operating staff and instituted an aggressive training program with a strong emphasis on safety. Currently our work force totals 56, the majority employed at the mine and the mill.”</p>
<p>“With the present environment of attractive silver and gold prices, we expect 2012 to be a good year for Santa Fe,” Dr. Carson said. “Looking to the future, our flotation mill has significant extra capacity and an important priority will be to step up both our exploration and acquisition programs for additional mill feed.”</p>
<p>About Santa Fe Gold:</p>
<p>Santa Fe Gold is a U.S.-based mining and exploration enterprise focused on acquiring and developing gold, silver, copper and industrial mineral properties. Santa Fe controls: (i) the Summit mine and Lordsburg mill in southwestern New Mexico, which began processing operations in 2010; (ii) a substantial land position near the Lordsburg mill, comprising the core of the Lordsburg Mining District; (iii) the Ortiz gold property in north-central New Mexico; (iv) the Black Canyon mica deposit and processing equipment near Phoenix, Arizona; and (v) a deposit of micaceous iron oxide (MIO) in western Arizona.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liberator Inc. (OTCBB: LUVU) is a dynamic high-growth and vertically integrated company capitalizing on the emerging sexual wellness revolution through the worldwide marketing of the Liberator® brand. This brand aims to compete in a large and growing market with few known brands other than Johnson &amp; Johnson’s (NYSE: JNJ) K-Y® and Church &amp; Dwight’s (NYSE: CHD) Trojan® brands.</p>
<p>Recently, the company announced a new product line that targets more mainstream customers by converting its more obviously themed products into a stylish pillow. Meanwhile, the firm also picked up some analyst coverage that could help its stock reach a greater investor base.</p>
<p><strong>Liberator Targets Mainstream Markets</strong></p>
<p>Liberator <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Liberator-Inc-Announces-prnews-2536794208.html?x=0">recently announced</a> new additions to its Home Décor Collection. Its LoveArts Pillows are designed offer the same functionality as their traditional products, but with stylish designs that seamlessly blend into any bedroom. The result is a product that reaches more mainstream consumers that may be apprehensive about purchasing its other products.</p>
<p>According to CMO Michael Kane, “We really wanted to create an elegant piece for the Home Collection that related to the Black Label in our Shapes and furniture.” Along with its other products, the LoveArts Pillows are being sold directly to consumers and through hundreds of domestic resellers, online affiliates and six international licensees.</p>
<p><strong>Liberator Attracts Analyst Attention</strong></p>
<p>Liberator has also made progress in reaching more mainstream investors after <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Liberator-Inc-Announces-prnews-1608302089.html?x=0">announcing the availability</a> of a new third-party research report. The in-depth report by research firm Goldgaber Research discusses the company, its proprietary products, and initiated coverage with a 12-month price target of $1.00 per share – a 516% premium to its current market price.</p>
<p>According to the report, “Reflecting the progress the franchise has made in becoming a mainstream brand, Liberator has sold $60 million in products and spent nearly $9 million in print advertising including appearances in numerous mainstream publications.  Additionally, Liberator has been featured in both television programs and movies, including memorable scenes featured in two movies, Meet the Fockers and Burn After Reading, which had a combined gross of approximately $680 million globally.”</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>Liberator represents a great investment opportunity at its current levels, especially as it targets new customer demographics and expands its investor awareness.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Save the World Air Inc. (OTCBB: ZERO), a developer of technologies designed to improve efficiency in both large scale energy production and diesel engine performance, providing technology in the same sector as Tenaris S.A. (NYSE: TS) and Furmanite Corporation (NYSE: FRM), recently announced that it would conduct meetings with key executives and government officials regarding the adoption of its technology throughout China.</em></p>
<p><a href="http://stwa.com">STWA, Inc</a>. (OTC.BB: ZERO.OB) (&#8220;STWA&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a developer of <a href="http://www.stwa.com/technology.cfm">energy efficiency technologies</a> in the multi-billion dollar oil pipeline and diesel engine markets, today announced that the Company&#8217;s Chairman and CEO, Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte, is scheduled to tour China for high-level meetings with governmental and commercial decision makers in the oil pipeline industry regarding commercialization of its <a href="http://www.stwa.com/STWA/whitepapers/AOT_NEW_PIPELINE_EFFICIENCY_Dec_2011_FINAL-revised.pdf">Applied Oil Technology™ (AOT™)</a> oil pipeline efficiency technology.</p>
<p>The trip comes on the heels of a recently <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/STWA-Signs-Letter-Intent-iw-190422714.html?x=0">announced</a> signing of a Letter of Intent with Beijing Heng He Xing Ye Technology Development Co., Ltd (&#8220;TDC&#8221;) for licensing, sales and distribution of STWA&#8217;s AOT™ into the Chinese market.</p>
<p>STWA CEO Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte and Mr. Ruilin Zhao, TDC Founder and CEO, will be co-presenting AOT™ and its economic and environmental benefits to key decision makers in China&#8217;s oil pipeline industry.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m fully confident in a successful commercialization of AOT™ technology in China based on a strong technological platform, shared strategic vision with STWA and the potential needs of China&#8217;s rapidly developing oil industry. These factors, together with a partnership grounded in mutual sincerity and enthusiasm, assures us of a successful outcome!&#8221; stated Mr. Zhao, TDC&#8217;s Founder and CEO.</p>
<p>The heavy international interest in STWA&#8217;s Applied Oil Technology (AOT™) was triggered by the U.S. Department of Energy&#8217;s <a href="http://www.rmotc.doe.gov/PDFs/TS19_51141_Final%20Report.pdf">recently published tests showing</a> that STWA&#8217;s AOT™ can reduce the amount of energy used in transporting oil per mile by over 13%. The efficiency gains are of immediate interest to Chinese petroleum producers, shippers, and their servicing industries because this energy-efficiency improvement would help them substantially in meeting the State Council of China&#8217;s recent mandate to reduce energy consumption 16% by 2015. The nationwide mandate dictates that China&#8217;s nationally-owned industries will be required to reduce the amount of energy used per unit of industrial output by 16% by 2015. TDC is interested in providing the energy industry with STWA&#8217;s AOT™ as a means to attain that goal.</p>
<p>&#8220;TDC has been aware of our technology for some time now and they have been tracking our progress. When our U.S. Department of Energy results were published they reached out to us because they know the enormous impact AOT™ can have on China&#8217;s oil pipeline industry and the mandate to reduce its energy consumption by 16%,&#8221; stated STWA Chairman and CEO, Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte. &#8220;We are in the desirable position of offering a solution that creates substantial economic benefits while also addressing the challenge to reduce energy consumption.&#8221;</p>
<p>Mr. Bjørn Simundson, STWA Executive Director, Program Management/Operations said, &#8220;TDC approached us because they can see the writing on the wall. China is a net oil importer and the largest energy consumer in the world, <a href="http://www.eia.gov/countries/cab.cfm?fips=CH">according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration</a>. TDC heard about our results with the U.S. Department of Energy and realized that our technology could potentially be the cornerstone for meeting these nationwide mandates for the entire Chinese oil industry. They are interested in using their established systems and networks to help us break into the Chinese market quickly and with legal protection on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. We are working together to form the go-forward plan and details at this time.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CrowdGather Inc. (OTCBB: CRWG), a leading developer and operator of online forum-based communities that combines social media and content to compete alongside companies ranging from LinkedIn Corporation (NASDAQ: LNKD) and IAC Interactive Corp (NASDAQ: IACI). And with the popularity of these communities taking off, this could mean a big opportunity.</p>
<p>For example, every single minute, 320 new Twitter accounts are created, 98,000 new tweets are sent, 100 new LinkedIn accounts are created, 13,000 hours of music are streamed on Pandora, 50 WordPress blogs are created, 1,500 blog posts are made, 100 questions are asked on Ask.com, and more than 20,000 new posts are made on Tumblr.</p>
<p>However, online forums are unique in that they are communities of people discussing specific products, services or even brands. For instance, the company’s ZuneBoards.com discusses Microsoft’s Zune MP3 player and related accessories. This audience is many times more likely to do things like recommend purchases and post reviews, according to <a href="http://www.zacks.com/registration/pfp/?ALERT=zrmodule&amp;ADID=ZACKS_PFP_ZRMODULE&amp;skip_rpt_name_check=skip_rpt_name_check&amp;t=CRWG">Zack’s Research</a>.</p>
<p><strong>CrowdGather Builds Value via Acquisitions</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather has leveraged its infrastructure, software and services to synergistically acquire more than 81 properties and 599 domain names covering a wide variety of market verticals. Through its ADISN digital media agency, the company aggregates these acquisitions into key verticals and offers advertisers measureable rich media solutions.</p>
<p>Currently, the company’s network generates between 220 to 225 million monthly page views and 16 to 18 million monthly unique visitors, according to its latest <a href="http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1328670/000146929911000623/crwgform10q103111.htm">10-Q filing</a>. Additionally, approximately 16 million users have registered on their network sites to date with 28 million discussions comprising over 350 million individual replies.</p>
<p>These metrics make CrowdGather <a href="http://web.accelerizefinancialemail.com/ize/4/35ytGm-GG0vm4xwlGyv2Gmu31">extremely valuable</a> relative to many recent social media initial public offerings and private companies. For instance, Pandora Media Inc. (NASDAQ: P) – a provider of streaming and social music services – had just 29 million active users as of January 31, 2011 with a market capitalization of around $2 billion.</p>
<p><strong>Ad Platform Could Unlock Significant Value</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather is developing an integrated ad server that it hopes will generate significant revenues from what they consider a minimally monetized component of their business – their hosted forums. With hundreds of thousands of forums hosted on its <a href="http://yuku.com">Yuku.com</a>, <a href="http://freeforums.org">FreeForums.org</a>, <a href="http://forumer.com">Forumer.com</a> and <a href="http://lefora.com">LeFora.com</a> properties, this could make a large impact.</p>
<p>The integrated ad server could also help the company transform itself into a platform play serving third-party forums. Internet users are increasingly using these forums to ask questions, write reviews, or simply interact with others on a particular topic.</p>
<p>The company plans to demonstrate this value, in part, by <a href="http://theotcinvestor.com/crowdgather-crwg-launches-social-media-campaign-for-erox-featuring-reality-tv-star-1333/">marketing</a> its Erox fragrance that was co-developed with Human Pheromone Sciences Inc. (OTCBB: EROX). According to CEO Sanjay Sabnani, “The development, marketing and launch of Erox marks the first social media product launch for CrowdGather, a business model we intend to pursue going forward.”</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather represents a great investment opportunity in the underappreciated online forum industry. With a market capitalization of just $7.27 million, the company is dramatically undervalued compared to its social media peers, especially when considering its rapid growth and near-term monetization strategies.</p>

<p>According to the description:</p>
<p>The CRWG chart moved through resistance at 12.5 cents yesterday. Volume was below average, but the MACD and RSI are showing strength to trend and momentum in the chart. Importantly, there is a strong positive divergence between the MACD and price per share, which will have technical traders watching for a volume surge and a break of the zero line for the MACD.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>CrowdGather Inc. (OTCBB: CRWG), a leading provider of forum communities on the Internet, similar to companies like Quepasa Corporation (AMEX: QPSA) and IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI), recently announced that it has launched a social media campaign for Erox featuring reality TV star Adrianne Curry.  This marks the first social media and forum community product launch for GrowdGather, opening the doors for launch and sale of future products.</em></p>
<p>One of the leading networks of forum communities on the Internet, CrowdGather (OTCBB: CRWG) announced today that it will launch a new social media campaign, featuring reality star, popular television host and self-proclaimed lover of geekdom Adrianne Curry, to introduce its Erox fragrance. Adrianne is best known as the first winner of the now iconic reality television series<em>America&#8217;s Next Top Mode</em>l as well as for her starring roles in VH1’s hit series the “<em>Surreal Life” and “My Fair Brady.”</em></p>
<p>Designed to tease and engage those who are active in the online social sphere, the campaign will be introduced through social networks such as forums, Twitter and Facebook as well as online advertising, and feature new entertainment-geared content such as comics and video.</p>
<p>“I love the idea of using a fragrance that actually makes people more social,” said Adrianne Curry. “Erox is fun and flirty with a broad appeal due to its unisex nature.”</p>
<p>CrowdGather previously disclosed in May, 2011 its partnership with Human Pheromone Sciences, Inc. (OTCBB: EROX.OB), a company engaged in the research, development and manufacturing of consumer products containing synthetic human pheromones, to develop a fragrance line intended for distribution over the Internet. CrowdGather has the exclusive rights to distribute the product online through affiliate internet marketing channels, and will also launch the product through the use of social media and forum communities.</p>
<p>“The development, marketing and launch of Erox marks the first social media product launch for CrowdGather, a business model we intend to pursue going forward,” said CrowdGather CEO Sanjay Sabnani. “Developing strategic partnerships to create exclusive products for marketing through social media and forum communities will help showcase how powerful a channel this can be for launching and selling future products.”</p>
<p>Erox is the first commercial product to contain Human Pheromone Sciences’ patent pending Muiricin Angluycone (ER303), a compound that has been shown to increase arousal, excitement, social-warmth, and sensuality in both men and women during a double blind placebo controlled study. Prior to Erox, the compound ER303 has never before been available in a consumer product. Erox also contains two human pheromones, Androstadienone (ADO) and Estratetraenol (ETE), which have been proven to increase feelings of confidence and well-being in the wearers and those around them.</p>
<p>Initial testimonials have indicated that after using the fragrance, users and the people around them feel more confident and friendly in nearly every social setting. They have also commented on the appealing nature of the scent, which contains notes of grapefruit, bergamot, pepper, lavender and amber.</p>
<p>Erox body spray is currently available in a 40ml bottle at <a href="http://www.erox.com">www.erox.com</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Liberator Inc. (OTCBB: LUVU), a dynamic high-growth company capitalizing on the emerging sexual wellness revolution through the worldwide marketing of the Liberator® brand, similar to companies like The Female Health Company (NASDAQ: FHCO) and New Frontier Media Inc. (NASDAQ: NOOF), recently issued record revenue guidance for fiscal Q2 2012.</em></p>
<p>Liberator, Inc. (OTCBB/OTCQB: LUVU), a dynamic high-growth company capitalizing on the emerging sexual wellness revolution through the worldwide marketing of the Liberator® line of products, recently announced record revenue guidance for its fiscal 2012 second quarter period, ending December 31 , 2011.</p>
<p>Based on a preliminary assessment of the fiscal Q2 2012 financials for Liberator, which will be finalized mid-February and announced through a 10-Q filing with the SEC, Liberator expects to report its highest levels of revenue to date through its OneUp Innovations, Inc. subsidiary in comparison to its historical pro forma quarterly results.  In order to provide consistent comparison across periods, these pro forma revenues exclude revenue generated from the company&#8217;s former Web Merchants subsidiary, which was sold effective October 1, 2011 .</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s preliminary record revenue guidance is as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fiscal Q2 2012 projected revenue of      $4.2 million vs. $3.7 million for Q2 2011, equating to a 14% revenue      increase over the prior year comparable quarter.</li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;Liberator is pleased to announce our record-setting revenue guidance for our second fiscal quarter of 2012,&#8221; said Louis Friedman , President and CEO of Liberator, Inc. &#8220;We believe that our business model, which focuses on the emerging sexual health and wellness industry, is validated by these exceptionally strong top-line revenue metrics and we believe our proactive sales initiatives and increased awareness in mainstream retail channels will prove invaluable as we strive to further improve our revenues, gross margins and, ultimately, create long term value for our shareholders.&#8221;</p>
<p>Ron Scott , CFO at Liberator added, &#8220;Our fiscal second quarter is typically one of the strongest sales periods of the year due to the increased gift-giving of Liberator gear that occurs throughout the holidays, and this year certainly did not disappoint.  We are pleased with our preliminary figures for the second fiscal quarter and look forward to sharing our full financial results next month.  Until then, Liberator is poised to continue to benefit from the rising demand of sexual wellness products in the United States and around the world as mainstream adoption continues to take hold.&#8221;</p>
<p>Liberator participates in the rapidly growing worldwide market of sexual wellness, which is the movement toward personal sexual health and the mainstream acceptance of products that were previously only sold in adult stores. Evolving from its iconic Liberator® shapes, the Company combines form with function to produce contemporary furniture and accessories for bedroom play, as well as products for major retailers which embrace the sexual wellness category of products.  Realizing the importance of brand awareness, the Company continues to be at the forefront of aligning the Liberator® brand with mainstream consumers, having appeared in movies and TV shows such as <em>Meet the Fockers</em>, <em>Burn after Reading</em> and <em>The Real Housewives of Atlanta </em>, in addition to popular magazines and periodicals like <em>Maxim, Playboy, Cosmopolitan, Men&#8217;s Health</em>and <em>Forbes</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dynamic Ventures Corporation (OTCBB: DYNV) develops and markets efficient turnkey construction solutions for residential and commercial buildings. Unlike The Home Depot Inc. (NYSE: HD) or Lowe’s Companies Inc. (NYSE: LOW), the company provides an end-to-end general contracting solution across a wide array of markets in the United States.</p>
<p>While most construction projects are segregated by trade, causing scheduling delays and personnel inefficiency, the company’s business model is to become a single source solution for all projects. The resulting improvements help drive a reduction in delays and overall timelines and generate significantly higher returns on investment.</p>
<p><strong>Strong Sales &amp; Projected Growth Ahead</strong></p>
<p>Dynamic Ventures announced sales that increased 391% to $4,735,848 last quarter, thanks to its acquisition of Bundled Builder Solutions Inc. (BBSI).  The August 2010 reverse merger helped the company enter into the management services and general contracting business for landowners throughout the United States and Native American communities.</p>
<p>In March of 2011, the company began work on its North Dakota project, which generated the majority of its quarterly revenues and consists of 24 residential homes, 26 townhomes and two commercial projects. Notably, the North Dakota real estate market is expected to benefit from an increasing population and a relatively healthy economy compared to other states.</p>
<p>These projects are being supported by a recent $7.5 million equity funding facility announced in December. Many investors are hoping that this financing will support the company’s revenue growth and provide the base for it to become cash flow positive.</p>
<p><strong>Dynamic Ventures Benefits from Many Trends</strong></p>
<p>Dynamic Venture’s building systems benefit from a number of trends. First, McGraw Hill Construction expects the overall construction industry to advance next year with single family homes dominating the growth in the market. And second, “green” building is accelerating at a dramatic rate and expected to surpass $135 billion by 2015.</p>
<p>The company’s SIP (Structural Insulated Panels) systems reduce construction time by combining “green” energy efficient materials at comparable costs of conventional building. SIPs are eco-friendly, recyclable building products that offer high energy efficiency and less waste.  All of these systems are LEED certified – a standard certification in environmentally-friendly construction.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>Dynamic Ventures represents an attractive investment opportunity at its current levels. With a market capitalization of just $2.91 million, according to Yahoo! Finance, the company trades at just a fraction of its intrinsic value given its existing growth and future prospects.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CrowdGather Inc. (OTCBB: CRWG), a leading provider of forum communities on the Internet, similar to companies like Quepasa Corporation (AMEX: QPSA) and IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI), is answering the call for higher returns on investment in online advertising through a combination of targeted forums and a unique advertising platform.</p>
<p><strong>Superior Targeting Means Higher ROI</strong></p>
<p>Online advertising is all about <em>targeting</em>. Simply put, advertisers are willing to pay a premium for an audience that’s more likely to take action. This is why banner advertisements have very low CPM rates for publishers and why Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) has become one of the world’s largest companies with its highly effective contextual and search based targeting.</p>
<p>CrowdGather targets highly specific demographics by developing online forums catering to specific niches. For instance, the company’s PBNation.com’s user base is far more likely to purchase paintball gear than visitors on any other type of website. As a result, the paintball forum will provide a much higher ROI to advertisers than an outdoors blog, for example.</p>
<p><strong>Not Your Typical Visitors &amp; Users</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather’s user base is not your typical web visitor or social media user either. Rather, the company’s online forums attract “power users” that are far more passionate and engaged than the average web visitor. This translates to a number of benefits for online advertisers, ranging from free grassroots advertising to more online reviews and referrals.</p>
<p>According to Zack’s Research, the company’s average users are:</p>
<ul>
<li>10x more likely to publish a blog;</li>
<li>3.5x more likely to recommend a purchase;</li>
<li>9x more likely to organize an event;</li>
<li>4x more likely to post reviews online; and,</li>
<li>3.5x more likely to share new products.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>New Platform Enhances Targeting</strong></p>
<p>In June of 2010, CrowdGather acquired Adisn Inc. in a stock transaction that provided it with an advertising agency and proprietary ad serving technology. The company has been working diligently to integrate the business with its own network of forum properties in order to deliver higher margin advertising revenue capable of reaching any scale.</p>
<p>With this platform in place, CrowdGather has developed a scalable and highly effective business model. The company acquires forums at a discount to their intrinsic value and monetizes them more effectively with its proprietary platform. Meanwhile, the firm is also exploring the possibility of extending its platform to non-owned forums and collecting intermediary income.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather’s forum network is generating between 220-225 million page views each month with 16 to 18 million unique visitors. With its proprietary online advertising platform, the company is able to effectively capitalize on this tremendous ad inventory. As a result, this may be an attractive opportunity for growth investors looking to supplement their portfolios.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gryphon Gold Corporation (OTCBB: GYPH), a gold exploration company with a principal focus on its Borealis gold project in Western Nevada, similar to companies like New Gold Inc. (AMEX: NGD) and Allied Nevada Corp (AMEX: ANV), has a number of near-term catalysts that could send the stock higher over the next few quarters and throughout 2012.</p>
<p><strong>Gryphon Gold’s Near-term Catalysts</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Borealis Successfully Restarted</span> – Gryphon Gold has successfully restored its Borealis gold project and has already begun to ship gold from its gold heap leach operation.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Gold Prices Continue to Rally</span> – Gold prices have been on the rise since the global economic crisis of 2008, reaching more than $1,600 per share in December 2011.</li>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Significant 2012 Guidance Issued</span> – Gryphon Gold has stated that it anticipates some 43,000 ounces of gold to be produced by its property in 2012 alone.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Borealis Mine Enters Commercialization</strong></p>
<p>Gryphon Gold’s Borealis mine is just starting to pay off for investors. On December 1, 2011, the company received its first revenues from the sale of loaded carbon delivered in October. These revenues amounted to $221,442 now, but the firm <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Correction-Source-Gryphon-ccn-1475640743.html?x=0">expects to ramp up production</a> to 3,700 ounces of gold by the end of the year and 43,600 ounces of gold in 2012.</p>
<p>At a relatively conservative gold price of $1,200 per ounce, this equates to $4.44 million in revenues by the end of 2011 and more than $52 million in revenues during 2012. While actual overhead figures have yet to be presented, the company should be able to turn a profit on both a cash flow and net income basis during 2012, based on these estimates.</p>
<p><strong>Gold Prices Headed Higher, Say Experts</strong></p>
<p>The aforementioned estimates are based on a $1,200 gold price, which leaves a huge potential upside given recent trends. Gold prices are currently hovering around $1,600 per ounce with many experts calling for them to rise above $2,000 per ounce over the coming years, despite some <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/27/markets-precious-idUSL3E7NR0PW20111227">recent weakness</a> reported in the spot market.</p>
<p>The catalysts behind a potential move higher include further problems in the Eurozone, as well as potential problems in the United States. Investors tend to buy gold as a safe-haven asset when other asset classes start performing poorly or rise in risk. Potential consolidation in the gold mining industry could also drive valuations higher.</p>
<p><strong>About Gryphon Gold Inc.</strong></p>
<p>Gryphon Gold is a Nevada-focused gold exploration company. The Company&#8217;s principal property is its Borealis gold project located in the Walker Lane gold belt of western Nevada.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Save the World Air Inc. (OTCBB: ZERO), a developer of technologies designed to improve efficiency in both large scale energy production and diesel engine performance, helping transport oil product from companies like CNOOC Limited (NYSE: CEO) and PetroChina Company Limited (NYSE: PTR), recently moved to capitalize on Chinese national mandates.</em></p>
<p>On the heels of announcing a Letter of Intent to commercialize its oil pipeline efficiency technology in China, STWA, Inc. (OTC.BB: ZERO.OB) (&#8220;STWA&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a developer of <a href="http://www.stwa.com/technology.cfm">energy efficiency technologies</a> in the multi-billion dollar oil pipeline and diesel engine markets, issued today an assessment of the China oil pipeline market and China&#8217;s influence on the global energy market.</p>
<p>STWA announced on December 21, 2011 that it has signed a Letter of Intent with Beijing Heng He Xing Ye Technology Development Co., Ltd (&#8220;TDC&#8221;) for licensing, sales and distribution of STWA&#8217;s <a href="http://www.stwa.com/STWA/presentations/AOT_Brief_Dec2011.pdf">Applied Oil Technology™ (AOT™)</a> into the Chinese market.</p>
<p>Recently, the State Council of China issued an environmental mandate to the country&#8217;s energy industry to reduce energy consumption 16% by 2015. According to recent U.S. Department of Energy testing conducted in the fall of 2011, STWA&#8217;s AOT™ can reduce the amount of energy used in transporting oil per mile by over 13%. This energy-efficiency improvement would translate into numerous, direct financial and environmental benefits for Chinese state-owned oil firms. TDC and STWA are at this time working to make STWA&#8217;s AOT™ a key strategic resource in China&#8217;s national 16% energy reduction plan.</p>
<p>&#8220;We have a solid relationship building with TDC as guardian of our intellectual property in China. They have deep relationships with major oil concerns in China and Chinese government officials. We were introduced to TDC through their technical lead, who, when a graduate student at Temple University, studied under Dr. Tao, our chief physicist and inventor of AOT™. Following our recent productive meetings with senior TDC management at our Santa Barbara headquarters and in New York, we are scheduled for January meetings in China to advance our commercialization plans,&#8221; stated STWA Chairman and CEO, Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte.</p>
<p>In a recently published <a href="http://www.eia.gov/countries/cab.cfm?fips=CH">report, the U.S. Energy Information Agency</a> (EIA) stated, &#8220;Rapidly increasing energy demand has made China very influential in world energy markets.&#8221; The EIA report showed that China is the world&#8217;s second largest oil consumer behind the United States, and is the overall largest global energy consumer. The report further stated that China consumed an estimated 9.2 million barrels per day of oil in 2010, up over 10% from previous-year levels. The combination of market size and pace of market growth make China a key global influencer in the energy and oil markets.</p>
<p>According to the China National Petroleum Corporation, China has about 13,932 miles of total crude oil pipelines and nearly 8,265 miles of oil products pipelines in its domestic network. China&#8217;s spending on pipelines is estimated to increase 40% by 2015, driven by the construction of new pipelines to deliver oil supplies from newer oil-producing regions and from downstream centers to more remote markets. AOT™ can make a significant contribution by maximizing economic benefits and reducing environmental impacts of transporting these new reserves.</p>
<p>China&#8217;s oil industry is dominated by two vertically integrated national firms, China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), and China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and its publicly-listed arm PetroChina. These two entities account for 60-80% of China&#8217;s total oil and gas output. Other state-owned firms are quickly growing market share. These include CNOOC Limited, China&#8217;s largest producer of offshore oil and gas and Sinochem International, listed on the Shanghai exchange, the largest domestic third-party petrochemical storage and logistics provider in China. These four main stakeholders in the market are closely tied with government and are aligned with government&#8217;s objectives to improve energy efficiency.</p>
<p>&#8220;We believe that AOT™ has the potential to assist China in reaching its aggressive energy conservation and environmental goals,&#8221; stated Bjørn Simundson, STWA Executive Director, Program Management/Operations. &#8220;Since China is the largest energy consumer in the world, and is recognized as a global influencer in energy markets, we feel it is a natural fit to be the first international market for us to advance commercial interest in our AOT™ oil pipeline efficiency technology. I believe that working with TDC to protect our mutual interests, and to provide introductions to national oil companies in China bodes well for AOT™ as we advance our commercialization program not only in China, but also in North America and other international markets.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>About AOT™<br />
</strong>STWA&#8217;s Applied Oil Technology™ (AOT™) allows pipeline operators to temporarily reduce the viscosity of the crude oil within their pipeline(s) to reduce the fluid-drag (also known as friction-loss) between the fluid and the pipeline. By reducing the friction loss, pipeline operators&#8217; pump systems require less energy to maintain a constant flow rate, thereby directly reducing daily operation costs.</p>
<p><strong>About STWA, Inc.</strong></p>
<p>STWA, Inc. (OTC.BB: ZERO.OB) develops and commercializes energy efficiency technologies that assist in meeting increasing global energy demands, improving the economics of oil extraction and transport, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Company&#8217;s intellectual property portfolio includes 24 domestic and international patents and patents pending, which have been developed in conjunction with Temple University. STWA&#8217;s technologies include Applied Oil Technology (AOT™) which improves oil flow through pipelines. AOT™ has been proven in U.S. Department of Energy tests to increase the energy efficiency of oil pipeline pump stations by over 13%. ELEKTRA™ improves diesel engine efficiency for industrial diesel engines, as well as diesel-powered trucks, trains, marine vessels, military fleets and jet turbines.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BioLargo, Inc. (OTCBB: BLGO) is focused on leveraging Nature’s Best Solution<strong>®</strong> -<strong> </strong>iodine &#8211; to solve a variety of common problems around the world. In an industry containing billion dollar companies like Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX), Colgate Palmolive (NYSE: CL ) and maker of Lysol, Reckitt Benckiser (LON: RB), the company’s all-natural iodine is a safe, environmentally friendly, economical and efficacious molecule for odor control disinfection related uses and even enhanced moisture control when combined with a variety of other absorbent materials.</p>
<p>The company’s CupriDyne<strong>® </strong>is a proprietary technology that delivers iodine by incorporating many of the same safe ingredients found in multivitamins. The result is that BioLargo can deliver an iodine wash product that is just as powerful as competing household cleaners and disinfectants, but is also non-toxic, “green”, part of a natural cycle, has no known capacity for acquired resistance, and is made completely of ingredients that are generally regarded as safe by the FDA and are commonly used in food products. And as the first to market with this technology, the company is in a unique position to profit.</p>
<p><strong>A Highly-Promising Proof-of-Concept and Landed Its First Major Commercial License </strong></p>
<p>BioLargo’s first major license is in the pet industry with an initial focus on odor and moisture control applications for pets. Its technology has application across multiple product categories within the pet industry like bedding products, puppy pads, stain and odor remover and even cat litter. The market for cat litter alone is massive with 92 million cats and an estimated annual turnover at $1.9 billion US per year and growing. Environmentally safe cat litter alone represents 20% of the $1.1 billion per year eco-friendly cat products market, according to a report by MarketResearch.com called “Natural, Organic and Eco-Friendly Pet Products in the U.S.” Future products will include liquids, puppy pads, litters, bedding and more.</p>
<p>After <a href="http://biolargo.blogspot.com/2010/12/biolargos-odor-no-more-wins-horse.html">winning awards</a>, including a ‘Product of the Year’ award in the equine market, the company attracted the attention of Central Garden &amp; Pet Company (NASDAQ: CENT), which is the largest seller and distributor of pet products in the U.S. Under the terms of a recent agreement, disclosed in an <a href="http://secfilings.com/searchresultswide.aspx?TabIndex=2&amp;FilingID=7823579&amp;companyid=1936&amp;ppu=%2fdefault.aspx%3fticker%3dBLGO%26amp%3bauth%3d1">8-K filing</a> with the SEC, the company has secured a $100,000 down payment and significant future minimum purchases in order for Central to maintain its exclusive rights in the pet industry:</p>
<ul>
<li>$100,000 over the initial six months.</li>
<li>1,250,000 pounds over the next 18 months.</li>
<li>2,000,000 pounds over the next 12 months.</li>
<li>2,750,000 pounds over the next 12 months.</li>
<li>3% annual increases thereafter.</li>
</ul>
<p>The minimum run rate from this agreement and sales into this pet industry category could take the company to $3.5 to $5 million per year, using sales figures from competing products and standard industry margins. The opportunity appears to far exceed the minimums of the agreement and the products developed appear ready to launch in early 2012.  These near-term revenues could equate to significant value for shareholders as the firm’s management expects to transition to positive cash flows and net income. Given the nature of the platform technology and the platform business relationship with the industry leader, sales could expand and grow for decades to come.</p>
<p><strong>Significant Long-term Potential in Many Verticals</strong></p>
<p>The revenues from this agreement and the pet industry related sales may be significant, but they pale in comparison to BioLargo’s long-term potential. The company already has a number of new products on the launch pad and has identified dozens of additional products over the long run. If these new products experience just a fraction of Odor-No-More’s success, like being recognized in its industry segment as a top performing product, then the new products could spell strong top and bottom line growth ahead as the company seeks to build distribution alliances with industry leaders in various industry sectors.</p>
<p>Beyond the pet supplies market, the company is also diligently working to develop their iodine technology for various “CleanTech” segments.  <a href="http://biolargo.com/platform-technologies/market-applications/">Many industries</a> are in need of disinfectants, odor and moisture control, and contaminated water solutions, ranging from medical to food and beverage to <a href="http://biolargo.com/platform-technologies/petroleum-opportunities/">oil and gas</a>. As a result, the revenue potential for these products is virtually endless.</p>
<p>The company’s plan to capitalize on these new verticals is simple: They do enough work to prove commercial viability and recruit one or more of the vertical’s market leader and then they become the supplier. With a partnership agreement already in place with <a href="http://www.ethorn.com/">The Horn</a> Group, (that just celebrated its 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary as a leading distributor in the specialty ingredients and materials supply industry) the company has the supply chain established with a proven ability to execute on these agreements to what appears to be substantial scale.</p>
<p>In the end, BioLargo Inc. (OTCBB: BLGO) represents an attractive investment opportunity at these levels with near-term revenues and long-term potential. To learn more about this company, please see the following links:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>UV Flu Technologies Inc. (OTCBB: UVFT), an emerging leader in medical grade air purification technology, similar to companies like 3M Company (NYSE: MMM) and Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON), is rapidly expanding in the air purification space with several near-term catalysts that could generate significant value for shareholders long-term.</p>
<p><strong>FDA-Grade Air Purification Technology</strong></p>
<p>UV Flu Technologies has developed some of the most effective air purification technologies available today. In fact, its technologies are FDA cleared medical devices that meet and exceed very strict criteria. Using high-energy ultra-violet radiation inside a patented “killing chamber”, the technology destroys airborne bacteria, reduces all odors and volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde, acetone, benzene etc, while also deactivating other airborne organic contaminants.</p>
<p><a href="http://theotcinvestor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Untitled.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4087 alignleft" title="Untitled" src="http://theotcinvestor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Untitled-300x164.png" alt="" width="300" height="164" /></a></p>
<p>The market for air purification technologies has been gaining momentum as concerns of indoor air quality have risen. According to the company’s 10-K filing, the U.S. indoor air quality market generated $7.7 billion in 2008 with the equipment segment accounting for $3.6 billion. The firm believes there’s a $5 billion+ market for commercial air purification within its target markets.</p>
<p><strong>Unique Business Model with Near-term Catalysts</strong></p>
<p>UV Flu Technologies has a unique business model with a number of near-term catalysts. With an initial focus on medical, hospitality and commercial markets, the company hopes to lease its products directly or through distributors and generate some immediate revenues. In fact, the company will be the only solution available in most hospitals worldwide.</p>
<p>Interestingly, most of the agreements and news pertaining to these commercial markets were only recently released. For instance, the company purchased RX Air in February, which added an entire line of hospital grade purification products in almost 500 hospitals internationally.  In October the company began building a relationship with Grainger, one of the world’s largest sales distributors with over 1800 sales reps. As a result, these developments may not be fully priced in to the company’s stock at its current levels.</p>
<p>In its second phase, the company plans to strategically target the large consumer market for indoor air quality products once commercial sales have progressed. The company hopes to generate revenues in excess of $100 million per year after three years. And they expect to report positive cash flow as early as Q1 of next year.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>UV Flu Technologies represents a unique investment opportunity. With several near-term prospects and solid long-term plans, the company appears ready and capable of commercializing its unique air purification technologies. As a result, this may be a stock worth a second look for growth investors.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The online space is continually expanding its importance in virtually every industry.  The car sales industry is especially realizing the value of online experts to steadily grow sales, even amidst the tough economic climate of today.  However, as American’s appear to be opening their wallets again to spending, companies focused in the online auto sales sector such as SMA Alliance (Pink Sheets: SMAA), AutoNation (NYSE: AN) and CarMax (NYSE: KMX) should begin to realize strong gains again.</p>
<p><strong>New Cars</strong></p>
<p>The last three months have propelled new auto sales in the States firmly upward.  Industry estimates show about 12.7 million new autos to be purchased in 2012, the largest amount since 2008 when 13.19 million new cars and trucks were bought.  Across the U.S., 11.53 million light vehicles have been purchased through November, up 10.4 percent from the same time last year, according to Autodata Corp.</p>
<p>In November alone, about 995,000 passenger cars and light trucks were sold, up 14 percent from November 2010.  Low interest rates, fully-stocked new car inventories, and high trade-in values are attributed for the gains.</p>
<p><strong>Used Car Marketing</strong></p>
<p>Used car sales increased in 2010 after a tough 2009.  And while most focus goes on new car sales, the pre-owned sector creates liquidity in our economy with the ratio of new sales to used sales is holding steady around a rate of 1:4.  Dealers are well aware of the importance of this used car volume and hitting the net to meet inventory needs and drive clients.   Amazingly, estimates from 2009 showed that more than 2 million units of sales were lost to the lack of inventory (amongst other reasons).  Dealers apparently are addressing demand via internet solutions.</p>
<p>The National Independent Automobile Dealers Association’s (NIADA) 2010 Facts and Statistics of the Used Motor Vehicle Industry report showed the rapidly increasing use of online marketing to drive sales and generate leads.  Dealers using online media surged from 47.9 percent of respondents in 2008 to 68.6 percent in 2009.</p>
<p><strong>Under the Hood of SMA Alliance</strong></p>
<p>While companies like CarMax and AutoNation are household names, there is a smaller firm grabbing-up market share at a remarkable pace.  SMA Alliance has been posting astonishing growth with their unique lead generation technologies as more and more dealers sign-on to access the SMA platform and bolster sales.  November proved the acceleration in client growth as 12 new dealerships signed in the first two weeks alone.  Financial reports showed that with six weeks still left in the quarter, the total annualized revenue for SMA increased by $2 million. Contracts with GM Certified dealers are providing a major benefit and a contributing factor to their success.  As both new and used auto sales escalate and the word continues to spread throughout the industry about SMA, the company’s salient growth should continue its non-linear pattern upward.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SupportSave Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: SSVE) is a leading low-cost provider of outsourced customer care and back office support. Unlike Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN) or Sykes Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ: SYKE), the company is focused exclusively on American-managed delivery centers in the Philippines to provide best-of-class services to its clients.</p>
<p>The company’s services include customer management, transcription and captioning, processing services, human resources, procurement, logistics support, finance and accounting, engineering, facilities management, information technology and training. These services are provided in the Philippines where there’s a large, educated and English-speaking population.</p>
<p><strong>Profitable Play on a Growing Trend</strong></p>
<p>Business process outsourcing, known as BPO, is the contracting of operations and responsibilities of specific business functions to a third-party service provider. As businesses move to cut their costs, Gartner projects that the market will grow 6.3% in 2011 and 5% in 2012 at a time when many industries around the world are contracting.</p>
<p>SupportSave is a profitable and undiscovered play on this growing industry. Last quarter, the company swung to a profit of $142,013, or $0.01 per share, on revenues that increased 59% to $911,171. These results don’t include recent developments, including an agreement with the second largest office supply and services superstore chain in the United States.</p>
<p><strong>Long-term Roll-Up Could Build Value</strong></p>
<p>SupportSave plans to grow through a combination of acquisition and organic growth to reach a mid-market scale. These acquisitions tend to be accretive in the short-term, making it a very efficient way to grow and reach a critical scale. While there are many small opportunities, the middle market has few acquisition opportunities.</p>
<p>This means that the company could become a target itself. Assuming the company can generate $0.04 in earnings per share per year, this means its price-earnings multiple could be a low 6.25x. With Accenture and Sykes trading anywhere between 15x and 25x, SupportSave could be worth upwards of $1.00 per share in a buyout scenario.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>SupportSave represents an attractive investment opportunity. With tough economic conditions holding many industries back, the BPO market is expected to continue to see growth. Meanwhile, the company’s growth and acquisitions could eventually make it an acquisition target within the sector.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.profireenergy.com/"><strong>Profire Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE)</strong></a>, a provider of burner management systems to the oil and gas industry, similar to companies like Flotek Industries Inc. (NYSE: FTK) and Cameron International Corp (NYSE: CAM), has traded down from $0.90 since the Company reported <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Profire-Energy-Inc-Announces-iw-3444089309.html?x=0&amp;l=1"><strong>record financial results</strong></a> on November 14, 2011 to roughly $0.75 in the last few days.</p>
<p><strong>Why is Profire Energy ($PFIE) down?</strong></p>
<p><strong>Earnings and Growing Revenues</strong> &#8211; Back in November, PFIE reported record income before tax for the 9/30/11 quarter ending of $1,646,575 on total revenues of $4.5 million. <strong>Revenues have more than doubled</strong> in comparison to the previous year revenues of $2.2 million, and it has <strong>NO DEBT!</strong> For the six month period, Profire reported $7.2 million in sales and $2.7 million EBT. How many times do Small-Cap investors hear about &#8220;next quarter&#8221;? Profire is delivering now.</p>
<p><strong>The Product &#8211; Burner Management Systems (BMS):</strong> Profire is filling many voids in the safety and efficiency of upstream pipeline flow of oil and gas, while helping the industry reduce its carbon footprint.  Several models have been developed over the last decade, with Profire’s latest model, the 2100 BMS, steadily grabbing more and more market share. With its electronic ignition and series of sensors, the flame is only lit when the pipeline requires, saving countless amounts of fuel and greatly reducing emissions. Any problems with ignition or the unit are remotely relayed, saving manpower and money. Moreover, torches are no longer required, eliminating the risk or injury to employees.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/ProfireEnergy/pfie-presentation-revised2">Please visit Investor Presentation Here</a></p>
<p><strong>Growth Plans </strong>- Again the Investor Presentation speaks to growth in the U.S., France, Brazil, and &#8220;many other countries.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Management Team</strong> &#8211; I don&#8217;t know the management team personally, so I simply say let&#8217;s judge them on their results and that takes us back to the last quarter&#8217;s financials which were very good.</p>
<p><strong>Industry</strong> &#8211; Oil and gas is high growth, high demand industry with numerous stakeholders.  Given the strong balance sheet, revenues and earnings, PFIE seems like a viable option without the risk that comes along with small producers. For existing wells with relatively known production metrics the PFIE units can increase production and improve margins by utilizing their technologies. With increasing energy regulation coming out of Washington, (right or wrong, it is there) Profire is positioned to help companies meet the new energy and regulatory demand.??<strong>So why is Profire Energy potentially undervalued?</strong> Simply stated, Profire Energy is not well known outside their small niche of the world, and now Management is beginning to reach out to investors to tell their story.</p>
<p><strong>The good news:</strong> It is a story based on numbers rather than a &#8220;story&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>The bad news:</strong> Investors will <strong>ALWAYS</strong> buy earnings per share, and PFIE may not be hidden for long. Please see the Profire Investor Presentation:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>CrowdGather (OTCBB: CRWG), a leading provider of forum communities on the Internet, similar to companies like Jive Software Inc (Nasdaq: JIVE) and IAC/InterActiveCorp (Nasdaq: IACI), recently announced record revenues and double-digit growth during its fiscal second quarter of 2012.</em></p>
<p>One of the leading networks of forum communities on the Internet, CrowdGather (OTCBB: CRWG), recently announced record financial results for its fiscal 2012 second quarter ended October 31, 2011.</p>
<p><a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/news/CrowdGather-Inc-Announces-bw-205499932.html?x=0">Click Here to View Condensed Financial Statements</a></p>
<p>The Company reported record revenues of $468,296 for the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to revenues of $462,925 for the second quarter of fiscal 2011. Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 were comprised entirely of the monetization of the Company’s forum ad inventory, including the recent Yuku.com acquisition, and did not include any of the lower margin ad agency revenue from Adisn that had been recorded in prior quarters.</p>
<p>Gross profit increased 64% to 468,296 for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to gross profit of $284,934 during the same quarter in fiscal 2011. Operating expenses increased 23% to $1,228,201, including $328,728 of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation, for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to operating expenses of $966,206, including $538,715 of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation during the same quarter in fiscal 2011. The net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 2012 increased 7% to $757,733, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $711,272, or $(0.01) per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2011, and was primarily related to increased payroll expenses from new employees and non-cash charges for stock-based compensation.</p>
<p>“During fiscal 2011, Adisn accounted for over 50% of CrowdGather’s revenue; however, after we successfully completed a financing in March 2011, we decided to focus primarily on our core business of monetizing forums, which has resulted in higher gross profit along with increased revenues,” said Sanjay Sabnani, CrowdGather&#8217;s Chairman and CEO. “Because of this decision, our first quarter of fiscal 2012 revenue appears static when compared to same quarter of fiscal 2011, but the shifting revenue composition from the low margin Adisn model to the core forum business is significant.”</p>
<p>For the six months ended October 31, 2011, the Company reported revenues of $802,332, compared to revenues of $793,004 for the same period in fiscal 2011. We expect higher margin revenues from the first six months of fiscal 2012 will continue to increase over subsequent periods due to the improved monetization of the Company’s forum ad inventory, as well as due to increased ad inventory from acquisitions.</p>
<p>Gross profit increased 49% to $693,592 for the six months ended October 31, 2011, compared to gross profit of $466,284 for the same period in fiscal 2011. Operating expenses increased 28% to $2,327,525, including $509,133 of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation for the six months ended October 31, 2011 as compared to total operating expenses of $1,813,721 for the same period in fiscal 2011, including $726,100 of non-cash charges for stock-based compensation.</p>
<p>Total assets were $17,331,297 as of October 31, 2011, as compared to total assets of $17,306,181 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2011. At the end of the current period, total assets primarily consisted of cash of $3,120,982 and goodwill and intangible assets of $13,860,448 represented by domain names and other acquired intellectual property. Also of note, during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the company was not required to release 1,089,436 previously issued shares from escrow pursuant to the Securities Escrow Agreement dated June 9, 2010, as Adisn, Inc. failed to achieve certain milestones contained within that Agreement. The shares were retired, which resulted in a reduction of the total common stock obligation to $1,084,600 as of October 31, 2011.</p>
<p>“Our business is proceeding according to our plan, and we believe we are executing on that plan,” continued Sabnani. “We expect to see improved monetization of the forum revenue stream from the increased premium ad inventory and from the utilization of our integrated ad server in the coming months. We expect to have our initial ad server integration completed for internal beta testing in January, and we anticipate we will roll it out commercially around year-end fiscal 2012.”</p>
<p>During the second quarter ended October 31, 2011 of fiscal 2012, CrowdGather’s traffic reached between 230 to 235 million monthly page views across all properties, compared to 80 to 90 million monthly page views during the same period in fiscal 2010, and had 17 to 19 million monthly unique visitors compared to 4 to 4.5 million monthly unique visitors a year earlier. Based upon current statistics from Google Analytics, CrowdGather’s network of forums is currently generating approximately 220 to 225 million monthly page views and 16 to 18 million monthly unique visitors. In addition, including the impact of the September 2011 Yuku.com acquisition, approximately 23 million users have registered to date on CrowdGather network sites, with 60 million total discussions comprising over 1.2 billion individual replies.</p>
<p>“We are focused on maximizing the monetization of user traffic across our network of forum properties, and while the use of traffic analytics is an important measure to consider, a better measure of progress are revenues,” said Sabnani. “In an effort to develop improved ad inventory, we have been pruning inactive sites, and content that violates our advertising partners terms of service agreements or other content that cannot be monetized. Through our acquisitions, we have discovered that analytics software is not always installed, and this requires us to make estimates until such software is installed and enough time has elapsed to better gauge traffic analytics, which may lead to quarter-over-quarter variances in analytics, whereas we believe revenue may continue growing from the improved ad inventory. We will continue to prune sites going forward, and while this could result in reductions of page views, unique visitors, registered users, discussions and posts, it should contribute to improved ad inventory capable of earning higher ad rates.”</p>
<p>In addition to the release of CrowdGather’s fiscal 2012 second quarter financial results, the Company is also announcing the pre-launch marketing of its made-for-social-media Erox® fragrance. The fragrance is currently available on http://www.erox.com, and CrowdGather stakeholders can receive a 20% discount by entering the CrowdGather’s ticker symbol “CRWG” during checkout.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SMA Alliance Inc. (PINK: SMAA), a provider of a state-of-the art software generating traffic to retailers of the automotive industry, similar to companies such as CarMax (NYSE:KMX) and AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN), recently announced that it plans to achieve 2012 sales of $30 million per year after signing a number of new contracts and amid a share buyback program.</p>
<p>In a press release, the company had the following to say about its sales projections:</p>
<p>SMA Alliance announced that the forecasted sales for 2012 are estimated at an astonishing 30 million dollars annually. Earlier in December 2011, a contract was signed with a manufacturer valued at 6 million dollars in additional revenue for SMA Alliance.</p>
<p>During the first quarter of 2012, SMA Alliance will not only begin the implementation process of the newly developed vertical, the real estate model, but will also be attending the annual NADA convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. This convention alone opens doors for SMA to sign 75 plus dealers over a 4 day period significantly increasing annualized revenue. Also in 2012, another model being developed is a vertical for the educational sector. This vertical stems from a major online university showing expressed interest in the SMA platform. All of this combined with sustained current company sales should undoubtedly increase total company growth by more than 400% in 2012.</p>
<p>Mr. Anthony Baker, CEO of SMA Alliance, stated, &#8220;As other year end of business approaches, I&#8217;m watching SMA fundamentally grow in every aspect of business. This year alone, we&#8217;ve accomplished so much. Our sales and marketing team have driven our sales to levels never excepted. Our technical staff created more efficient ways of vehicle listings, all while our back office picked up the pace to handle the new business. 2012 is definitely a year to keep an investment eye on SMA Alliance.&#8221;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the company issued a separate press release discussing its share buyback program:</p>
<p>SMA Alliance is pleased to announce that the Board of Directors unanimously voted to purchase up to 12 Million shares of its issued and common stock as part of a share buy-back program pursuant to Rule 10b-18. The Company&#8217;s Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Baker, will be directing the program, which will run from February 1st, 2012 to December 31st, 2012, or until the share limit has been reached. While the Company is not under any obligation to repurchase shares under this program, SMA Alliance is excited about the program and believes it will enhance the value of the investment focus for further acquisitions, funding, and overall growth of the company for years to come.</p>
<p>Anthony Baker, C.E.O. of SMA Alliance, stated, &#8220;These actions should demonstrate our belief, confidence, and vision for the long-term growth of the company and our commitment to returning capital to our shareholders.&#8221;</p>
<p>The full details of the buy-back program will be finalized and set forth in the offer letter which will shortly be sent to shareholders pending final approval from counsel and will be filed with appropriate regulatory channels through an 8k.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>RegenoCELL Therapeutics Inc. (OTCBB: RCLL), a provider of <a href="http://www.regenocell.com/about.html">stem cell therapy</a> for congestive heart failure  and developer of therapeutics for peripheral artery disease, differs from others in the industry in that it is already actively marketing its therapy and simultaneously developing a U.S./E.U. solution.</p>
<p><strong>Efficacious Treatment Already Generating Revenues</strong></p>
<p>RegenoCELL is unique in that it’s already generating revenues from stem cell therapy that targets congestive heart failure. Many of these patients only have 3-6 months to live and have run out of options within the United States. Patients simply have a half liter of blood drawn which is sent to the company’s Israeli facility where stem cells and other more mature cells are extracted and replicated.</p>
<p>Since  stem cell procedures for indications other than cancer require approval in the United States, patients are transported  to countries where autologous (same patient) stem cell treatments are permitted to undergo an angioplasty-like procedure. The stem cells help create blood vessels in order to improve blood flow in the heart. While the procedure isn’t covered by insurance right now, the company has already realized over $600,000 in sales so far in 2011.</p>
<p>After undergoing the treatment, patients almost <a href="http://www.regenocell.com/clinical-results.html">immediately report</a> feeling better and realize the majority of the benefits after 3-6 months. With more than 500 patients treated, the company has seen a 90%+ survival rate after two years. This statistic is impressive given that many of these patients were so-called “no option” patients with 3 to 6 months to live.</p>
<p><strong>Profits Used to Fund U.S. and E.U. Clinical Trials</strong></p>
<p>RegenoCELL is working to scale its revenue generating business to help support its U.S. and E.U. clinical trials. With just 8 cell batches per month required to break even on its revenue generating business, the company has a very scalable model and is poised to get beyond break even at its cell processing operations in Israel next year. That cash coupled with raises over two years will fund these upcoming clinical trials.</p>
<p>The clinical trials will be focused on peripheral artery disease, but will use the same stem cell treatment as its congestive heart failure therapy. That is, stem cells are used to support angiogenesis and improve blood flow. Ultimately, an approval for this indication would enable it to receive insurance payouts and target much larger potential markets.</p>
<p>The data generated in its existing business may also help it expedite clinical trials. For instance, the safety profile of the therapy is well established with over 500 patients treated, meaning that it may be able to skip or fast track its way through Phase I safety trials. And the efficacy data could even help expedite its Phase II preliminary efficacy trials.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>RegenoCELL is unlike many other stem cell companies in that it’s already generating revenues, but still has long-term plans to market in the U.S. and E.U. On top of this, the favorable results from 500 patients already treated should help give some clarity to its clinical pipeline. Combined, this makes it an attractive investment opportunity for those in biotech.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>MacroSolve Inc. (OTCBB: MCVE) is a developer of mobile environments and the owner of a landmark mobile patent that would make Acacia Research Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTG) a little jealous. But unlike other mobile app developments, such as Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), the company’s platform caters primarily to businesses developing a mobile presence. Recently, the firm signed a LOI with Muscogee Nation Business Enterprise for mobile apps.</em></p>
<p>In the first agreement of its kind, MacroSolve, Inc. (Pinksheets: MCVE.PK) (OTCQB: MCVE.PK) (&#8220;MacroSolve&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a leading mobile solutions provider, is partnering with Muscogee Nation Business Enterprise, wholly owned by one of the largest Native American tribes in the US. MacroSolve has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Muscogee Nation Business Enterprise (&#8220;MNBE&#8221;), the business arm of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. The two organizations will be working together to map out a mobile app strategy for MNBE, its subsidiaries, and its business partners. The agreement opens a new market for MacroSolve&#8217;s patented mobile app solutions.</p>
<p>&#8220;MacroSolve&#8217;s mobile app platforms and products are a strong strategic fit with MNBE&#8217;s Professional Services Division,&#8221; said Woody Anderson, CEO of MNBE. &#8220;We are looking to integrate mobile apps into MNBE&#8217;s Professional Services offering. We see far reaching potential for our IT and technology subsidiaries offering these app solutions to our clients including enterprise level businesses, as well as the branches of the US government that we currently serve through federal contracting.&#8221;</p>
<p>With over 72,000 members, the Muscogee Nation is one the largest Indian tribes in the United States. MNBE&#8217;s Professional Services Division specializes in providing Logistic Support, Enterprise Information Technology Services, Project/Program Management, and Scientific and Research Support for customers at locations across the US as well as abroad.</p>
<p>This Letter of Intent, coupled with other strategic marketing agreements recently signed by MacroSolve, opens opportunities for MNBE and MacroSolve to grow their companies through business partner connections.</p>
<p>&#8220;MNBE is bringing Native American business and economic development to a whole new level to serve the next generation of Native Americans. By diversifying into technology businesses of the future, they are opening opportunities for a growing number of tribes to work together,&#8221; stated MacroSolve CEO and President, Steve Signoff. &#8220;There is a significant business opportunity here for both MNBE and MacroSolve to bring the power of mobile apps into MNBE&#8217;s array of professional service offerings.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CrowdGather Inc. (OTCBB: CRWG), an Internet company specializing in the development and hosting of online forums, offers an attractive alternative to social media companies like LinkedIn Corporation (NYSE: LNKD) and Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG). In this article, we’ll take a look at some evidence to support this thesis and why this stock appears undervalued.</p>
<p><strong>Forum vs. Social Media Engagement</strong></p>
<p>Online forums engage users more than many other types of social media. For instance, some 85.3% of all Twitter users post less than one update per day, while 21% haven’t posted any tweets at all, according to <a href="http://www.sysomos.com/insidetwitter/">Marketwire</a>. Other social media giants, like LinkedIn, aren’t faring much better with 1% of its users accounting for 34% of its traffic by some estimates.</p>
<p>By contrast, most online forums attract a passionate and more engaged user base. For example, CrowdGather has approximately 16 million people registered on their network sites with more than 350 million posts, according to their latest <a href="http://secfilings.com/searchresultswide.aspx?TabIndex=2&amp;FilingID=8144471&amp;companyid=677407&amp;ppu=%2fdefault.aspx%3fticker%3dCRWG%26amp%3bauth%3d1">10-Q filing</a> with the SEC. Moreover, forum users tend to be centered around one niche – such as golf or paintball – making them ideal for advertisers looking for better targeting.</p>
<p><strong>Bridging the Social Monetization Gap</strong></p>
<p>Many Internet stocks are valued by a metric called Average Revenue Per User (ARPU). For example, Facebook had an ARPU of $2.30 in December of 2009, according to a <a href="http://www.onlinemarketing-trends.com/2011/03/average-rvenue-per-user-in-social.html">Deloitte study</a>. While ARPU figures are on the rise, they are still much lower than many forms of traditional advertising, which is one of the reasons why companies like LinkedIn aren’t yet profitable.</p>
<p>CrowdGather offers a bridge between these two forms of income. Since online forums drive search traffic, the company generates a high number of page views and can monetize its properties via traditional CPM/CPC advertising. However, its advertising platform is also being fine-tuned to target specific niches and users, which could expand its possibilities.</p>
<p><strong>A Better Alternative to Traditional Social Media</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather Inc. (OTCBB: CRWG) offers investors a unique opportunity in the social media sector. Its network of online forums offer greater user engagement than traditional social media, while its search engine friendly content gives it more revenue streams than many cash-burning social media giants out there today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marijuana Inc. (PINK: HEMP), a company focused on the large peripheral business created by the quickly emerging, and growing, multibillion dollar medical cannabis and hemp industries, offers an alternative for investors in General Cannabis Inc. (PINK: CANA) and Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS) with a diverse empire spanning multiple niches.</p>
<p>Founded by Bruce Perlowin, known as the “king of pot” in the industry, the company is well positioned to capitalize on the industry. In a recent <a href="http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2011/12/01/news/local_news/iq_49070239.txt">Last Vegas City Life</a> article, Mr. Perlowin outlined his history and belief that the marijuana industry will open up in the future, creating new market opportunities for investors in the industry.</p>
<p><strong>Enormous Market for Marijuana</strong></p>
<p>Since marijuana is an illegal drug, there are few ways to track its sales. But economists, law enforcement and lobbyists have estimates that range from $10 billion to over $120 billion per year. And CNBC has <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/36179677/How_Big_Is_The_Marijuana_Market">pegged the market</a> at some $35-45 billion using a variety of different valuation techniques.</p>
<p>Marijuana Inc. is focused on the peripheral businesses created by this market. While the $35-45 billion range is for marijuana sales alone, these peripheral businesses could represent a substantial and growing market. And the market could be poised to rapidly expand if marijuana is legalized in certain states or nationwide – a move that could raise significant tax dollars.</p>
<p><strong>A Focus on the Peripherals</strong></p>
<p>Since marijuana remains illegal in the United States, Marijuana Inc. is focused on the peripheral industries that it sees surrounding the drug. The company recently launched its KushClear™ and Wild Herb Naturals nutraceutical product lines, along with an entertainment division that’s promoting a new book called “The Golden Gate Smuggling Company”.</p>
<p>At a time when many medical marijuana companies are struggling, the company believes the peripheral business could yield opportunities. Companies like General Cannabis Inc. and Cannabis Science Inc. are trading down more than 60% year to date, while Marijuana Inc. is trading up more than 60% since it began trading in October.</p>
<p><strong>About Marijuana Inc.</strong></p>
<p>Marijuana, Inc. (PINK: HEMP) intends to focus on the huge peripheral businesses created by the quickly emerging, and growing, multibillion dollar medical marijuana and hemp industries.</p>
<p>Marijuana, Inc. will not be involved at the current time in growing, transporting or marketing medical marijuana itself – however it will be creating an infrastructure to do parts of this upon the companies expected legalization federally in all 50 states (pending any federal licensing or other requirements that may be enacted after marijuana prohibition ends).</p>
<p>CEO Bruce Perlowin stated, &#8220;Preparing for this potential change in the marijuana and industrial hemp laws by having one or more channels of distribution and industrial hemp manufacturing facilities in place ahead of time would give Marijuana, Inc. a distinct advantage in the marketplace while other peripheral industry business endeavors expand our brand awareness as well as targeting economically desirable and lucrative opportunities in this industry.&#8221; <a href="http://www.marijuanainc.tv">www.marijuanainc.tv</a> (still under construction).</p>
<p>President David Tobias also stated, &#8220;We are all now at the right place at the right time, with the right experience, to take advantage of an industry that has been around for thousands of years and rapidly emerging into mainstream countries as a new economic force in dozens of areas. Over the past few years it has become apparent that with the increasing pace of new products and services hitting the marketplace that this industry provides unique opportunities for a vast array of business ventures. Later this week, we will be announcing the launch into this market, our first of many products applicable to the medical marijuana and other related, or similar, industries that has never been applied here before.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Profire Energy Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE), a provider of burner management systems to the oil and gas industry, is well-positioned given recent green initiatives and government mandates. The company is a leader in the space alongside companies like Flotek Industries Inc. (NYSE: FTK) and Cameron International Corp (NYSE: CAM), and may be positioned for large gains given its enhanced technology and well-aligned business model. Green initiatives and government mandates are being exercised regularly to curtail pollution and danger in the oil and gas industry, increasing revenue for properly positioned companies.</p>
<p>The oil and gas industry receives plenty of press on a daily basis, as commodity traders thrive on its volatility and as majors such as Exxon Mobil Corp. (NYSE: XOM) help drive the Dow Jones Industrial Average.  There is a component to the oil and gas industry that, while less publicized, plays a critical role in the safety and efficiency of oil and gas production that is garnering more industry attention.  From an investors’ standpoint, this subsector carries a larger upside than the majority of “typical” plays in the oil and gas space.</p>
<p>There are more than one million oil and gas wells in the United States and Canada combined.  Each of those wells necessitates a burner to heat a vessel through which oil and gas travel. The vast majority of those fuel trains still use open, gas fired flames that bring with them a myriad of problems.  For starters, there is no regulation capacity to an open flame, so the flame burns continuously, whether it is needed or not, releasing dangerous (and environmentally-unfriendly) emissions and wasting the source fuel.  Moreover, if the flame is extinguished for any reason, the source fuel continues to flow until it is manually noted that the flame went out.  Hand-held torches are then used to re-light the flame, which is obviously a very dangerous proposition that has resulted in many injuries.</p>
<p>The solution is Burner Management Systems (BMS).  Established in 2002, Profire Energy Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE) is a leader in BMS that is filling the many voids in the safety and efficiency of upstream pipeline flow of oil and gas, while helping the industry reduce its carbon footprint.  Several models have been developed over the last decade, with Profire’s latest model, the 2100 BMS, steadily grabbing more and more market share.</p>
<p>With its electronic ignition and series of sensors, the flame is only lit when the pipeline requires, saving countless amounts of fuel and greatly reducing emissions.  Any problems with ignition or the unit are remotely relayed, saving manpower and money.  Moreover, torches are no longer required, eliminating the risk or injury to employees.</p>
<p>Combining cutting-edge technologies has helped dramatically increase revenue and net income for Profire.  The company’s most recent SEC filings show that revenue surged to $4.5 million and net income jumped to $1.65 million in the latest quarter; up from $2,137,022 and $894,093, respectively, from the same period in 2010.  At its current pace, Profire will top $10 million in revenue for the year.  Savvy investors will also notice that Profire is debt-free, a claim that most OTC companies cannot stake.</p>
<p>A stronger enforcement of both safety and environmental regulations is sweeping across the oil and gas industry.  Coupled with realizations of savings by implementing BMS, the industry is being driven quickly forward, but is only realizing a fraction of its potential at this point.  Conservative estimates place the market value at roughly $4 billion presently in North America alone.  Oversea potential takes the market value substantially higher.  Most industries are flooded with competition, but such is not the case with BMS as the ratio of suppliers to demand leaves plenty of “pie for everyone”.  With its recently increased sales team and growing awareness, Profire could potentially capture three to four percent of the market, which would push revenue in excess of $100 million annually and significantly bolster its 78 cent price tag and tiny $35 million current market cap.</p>
<p>In addition to expanding its industry footprint, Profire Energy is also more aggressively marketing its brand through its social media presence.  Investors are encouraged to <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ProfireNews">“Follow” the company on Twitter</a> (<a href="http://twitter.com/#!/ProfireNews">http://twitter.com/#!/ProfireNews</a>)  and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Profire-Energy/181282608629883">“Like” Profire on Facebook</a> (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Profire-Energy/181282608629883">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Profire-Energy/181282608629883</a>) to keep up with industry news and corporate developments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gryphon Gold Corporation (OTCBB: GYPH), a gold exploration company with a principal focus on its Borealis gold project in western Nevada, similar to companies like New Gold Inc. (AMEX: NGD) and Allied Nevada Gold Corp (AMEX: ANV) is approaching posting results of carbon shipments from heap leaching activities at Borealis.  Gryphon began stacking heap leach pads in early September and began the leaching cycle on September 26, 2011.  The process remains ahead of schedule and on budget, facts which demonstrate the aptitude of the strong Gryphon Gold management team and directors.</p>
<p><strong>Production Starts with Producers</strong></p>
<p>Gryphon’s lead is John Key, who wears many hats as President, CEO and Director.  Mr. Key has his M.S. in Mining Engineering and more than three decades of extensive mining experience working for Teck Cominco organization, an amalgamation of Teck and Cominco, now Teck Resources (TSX: TCK.A/TCK.B, NYSE: TCK).  During his tenure at Teck Cominco, Key was General Manager Projects and directly responsible for running, in succession, the Magmont, Polaris, and Red Dog mines.</p>
<p>Gryphon’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, Ted Sharp, C.P.A., also serves as CFO, Secretary and Treasurer of Goldrich Mining Company (NASDAQ: GRMC) and brings more than 30 years of highly relevant experience in working for  public companies to the team.</p>
<p>Steve Jones is Gryphon’s Vice President Operations and brings with him an unparalleled resume.  He has been a manager and principle geologist for Kennecott Exploration, a subsidiary of Rio Tinto (NYSE: RIO), as well as a consulting geologist for projects in Argentina, Mexico, and Nevada.  Mr. Jones has also managed exploration programs for Kinross Gold (NYSE: KGC, TSX: K), Astral Mining (TSX-Venture: AA), Argonaut Gold (TSX: AR) and Peregrine Metals (recently acquired by Stillwater Mining Company (NYSE:SWC)).</p>
<p>This is just the beginning of the mining and SEC veterans that are guiding Gryphon towards generating substantial revenue through their unique re-leaching of heaps at Borealis.  Investors can learn more at the <a href="http://gryphongold.com/about_us/management/">Gryphon Gold website</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Raising Money the Right Way</strong></p>
<p>Undoubtedly drawing upon skills from overseeing over $300 million in capital expansions at Red Dog, Mr. Key helped Gryphon successfully complete a $10 million public offering in May, 2011.  The proceeds were used to fund the new production operations at the Borealis project.</p>
<p>Offerings can often be a death sentence to share value, but not when managed correctly as in the case of Gryphon.  In fact, shares have been firmly on the rise since the completion of the $10 million raise, surging from a low of $0.125 to break 35 cents and still hold over $0.27 presently.  Where so many companies need the funds to work towards the next level of development (where more funds will be needed again), Gryphon has put their cash to use for production operations; genuinely adding substantial value to the company for its shareholders on its path to prosperity.</p>
<p><strong>The Whole Kit and Caboodle</strong></p>
<p>Becoming a successful gold company is a difficult and expensive process.  Countless explorers shut their doors before ever becoming profitable, often times a consequence of poor decisions.  A proficient leadership team is mandatory to make prescient decisions to maximize on every opportunity.  Gryphon Gold has quality and experienced people manning positions from bootstraps to executives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Profire Energy Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE), a manufacturer, installer and servicer of oilfield combustion management systems and related burner products, with customers like EnCana Corporation (NYSE: ECA) and Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN), recently released an updated investor fact sheet showcasing its latest achievements.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>In 2009, there were 824,847 oil and gas wells in the United States alone. Factor in the more than 500 Canadian companies that are actively operating and drilling wells and the total number of oil and gas wells in North America easily tops one million presently.</p>
<p>With a concerted effort to increase safety and the well-publicized initiatives to reduce emissions globally, energy companies are turning to Burner Management Systems (BMS) to eliminate injuries, operate more efficiently and cut emission rates.  Profire Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE) is an industry leader in BMS and exercising an increasingly deep penetration into the market.  The reason is simple.  The ratio of market size to competition gives Profire a large upside.  Each of the more than one million wells and their associated vessels in the U.S. and Canada suggests multiple applications for burner management systems.  Conservatively speaking, the North American market alone is in excess of $4 billion (roughly 2k per application x 2 BMS per well x 1 million wells) and Profire keeps getting more and more of it.</p>
<p>Profire’s latest quarterly SEC filings show increases in revenue to $4.52 million and net income to $1.18 million, representing gains of more than 100 percent for each as compared to the year prior quarter.  A true anomaly in the OTC markets, <strong>Profire is debt-free</strong>, is on pace to exceed $10 million in revenue in 2011 and is regularly showing strong growth quarter over quarter.  Yet, the company remains under the radar of the general investment community despite a tiny $33 million market cap and exponential growth or acquisition possibilities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Iveda Solutions Inc. (OTCBB: IVDA), a cloud-based provider of secure, enterprise-class managed video surveillance solutions, offers a new twist on traditional technologies provided by companies like The Brink’s Company (NYSE: BCO) and Ascent Capital Group Inc.’s (NASDAQ: ASCMA) Monitronics, with its innovative cloud-based services.</p>
<p>With nine years of experience in the market, the company’s platform agnostic and cloud-based approach benefits both customers and shareholders. Customers can realize lower costs and more reliable systems, while shareholders benefit from more predictable revenue streams, a highly scalable business model, and an enormous addressable market.</p>
<p><strong>Revolutionizing Traditional Security Systems</strong></p>
<p>Currently, most video surveillance is done using CCTV with on-site cameras, recorders and (believe it or not) VHS videotapes. These solutions are expensive to purchase, must be actively managed, and are prone to several potential security vulnerabilities. Moreover, failures can go un-noticed for a long time and maintenance can prove very costly.</p>
<p>Iveda Solutions combines existing hardware with a cloud-based hosted software solution to solve these problems. With lower overhead expenses and automated recording, its systems are easy to integrate and scale across multiple locations at a very low cost. And since it’s platform agnostic, the system can be installed with any existing hardware, making it very cheap to switch.</p>
<p><strong>Business Model Could Unlock Significant Value</strong></p>
<p>Most investors live by the motto that “cash is king” and cash flow matters. Since they have unproven sales strategies, most early-stage companies have unstable cash flows. After all, most companies realize cash only when they sell a product, while service companies must repeatedly find new clients to serve in order to keep the cash coming in the door.</p>
<p>Iveda Solutions’ business model generates revenue from multiple sources, including recurring revenue from services. And unlike many traditional service companies, its platform is highly reliable, scalable and very likely to be renewed after a customer initially signs on. The result is a highly predictable revenue stream that grows over time with relatively little friction.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>A recent report from MarketsandMarkets, a research firm, indicated that the global video surveillance market is expected to grow from $11.5 billion in 2008 to $37.7 billion in 2015 at a CAGR of 20.4% from 2010 to 2015.</p>
<p>Last quarter, Iveda Solutions reported rapidly expanding revenues that jumped more than 220% to $588,339. Of this amount, 37% of its revenues were recurring service revenues, while 63% was from equipment sales and installation. To learn more about Iveda Solutions, please see the following:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MacroSolve Inc. (OTCBB: MCVE) is a developer of mobile environments and the owner of a landmark mobile patent that would make Acacia Research Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTG) a little jealous. But unlike other mobile app developments, such as Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), the company’s platform caters primarily to businesses developing a mobile presence.</p>
<p><strong>Trump Gives Compelling Speeches</strong></p>
<p>Last month, Donald Trump Jr. presented on behalf of MacroSolve at the NYC Small Cap Conference. The executive vice president of The Trump Organization gave a <a href="http://www.cpreports.com/?p=1563">clever and insightful speech</a> that highlighted the growing popularity of mobile and how MacroSolve’s edge makes it the best investment opportunity in the sector today. In addition to the increased publicity that helps set the firm apart from its competition, the agreement also serves as a vote of confidence in the technology itself by The Trump Organization.</p>
<p>In his recent speech, Mr. Trump noted, “[MacroSolve’s] 15-years of experience prove they know how to spot the waves, judge the direction of the wind, and ride the shifting tides in the digital marketplace. MacroSolve has that edge. They have that hunter’s nose. They have a proven track record of pioneering development and a long-established relationship with the top name brands in wireless hardware, software and carriers. Their patent portfolio puts them years ahead in innovation, while their enterprising move to be a publicly traded app company – a rarity in the industry – shows they have positioned themselves to be the next Model-T maker.”</p>
<p><strong>Significant Business Development Potential</strong></p>
<p>Donald Trump Jr. is executive vice president of The Trump Organization, which owns and develops hotels, resorts, residential towers, and gold courses in various countries, as well as owns several high-end real estate locations in New York City. Combined, these various properties and businesses represent significant business development opportunities for MacroSolve that could lead to additional revenues down the road.</p>
<p>In fact, in an <a href="http://www.macrosolve.com/2011/10/donald-trump-jr-extends-his-business-expertise-into-mobile-apps-for-businesses-through-agreement-with-mobile-app-leader-macrosolve/">October press release</a>, Mr. Trump commented: “Just as in physical real estate – digital real estate is location, location, location. Having a company’s brand and logo on the screen of mobile devices is a valuable place to be for a company looking to drive revenues and productivity. The mobile app market is exploding and is a major part of our Trump branded businesses … With the combination of exploding market demand for mobile apps and the depth of experience and expertise of the management team at MacroSolve, I see unparalleled potential in this agreement.”</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whFGqCgdLOk">Click here for a video of the Corporate Profile report on MacroSolve’s agreement with Donald Trump Jr.</a></p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>MacroSolve’s agreement with Donald Trump Jr. may be just icing on the cake, but it does expand the company’s presence and set it apart from the competition. Meanwhile, the vote of confidence on the part of The Trump Organization should help reassure investors. And finally, business development opportunities within the organization could unlock further value.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Marijuana Inc. (PINK: HEMP), a company focused on the large peripheral businesses created by the quickly emerging, and growing, multibillion dollar medical cannabis and hemp industries, containing companies like General Canabis Inc. (PINK: CANA) and Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS), recently reiterated the retention of EJM Advisors as its PR firm.</em></p>
<p>Marijuana, Inc. (PINK: HEMP) reiterates their retention of EJM Advisors (EJM) as public relations firm.</p>
<p>EJM&#8217;s role is to expand the visibility of Marijuana, Inc. (HEMP) in the mainstream media. EJM is focused on publicizing the company&#8217;s divisions, from the &#8216;Eco-Harmony Loyalty Benefits and Rewards Card&#8217;, to the development of the entertainment division including publication and studio production as well as a highly reviewed and rapidly expanding nutraceutical line, the KushClear brand (<a href="http://www.kushclear.com/">www.kushclear.com</a>). EJM advises and presents the company to the media through its extensive print, television and online journalist relationships.</p>
<p>&#8220;After an extensive selection process, Marijuana, Inc. has determined EJM to be in a unique position to bring the story of the company to the investing public. EJM is our point of contact to the media,&#8221; said Bruce Perlowin , CEO of Marijuana, Inc.</p>
<p>With the addition of the entertainment division and the first book in Marijuana, Inc.&#8217;s series, the well reviewed &#8220;Golden Gate Smuggling Company&#8221;, there is great anticipation of the upcoming series of smuggling books focusing on chronicling the history of marijuana smuggling in the US.</p>
<p>Bruce Perlowin brings a personal side to an industry interview that is rarely found today. An excellent example of this is Bruce Perlowin &#8216;s candid interview with Las Vegas City Life Magazine. (See article) <a href="http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2011/12/01/news/local_news/iq_49070239.txt">http://www.lasvegascitylife.com/articles/2011/12/01/news/local_news/iq_49070239.txt</a>. The article covers Bruce&#8217;s unique and colorful past and his vision of the company and how it will lead in the medical marijuana industry.</p>
<p>Eric Miller , president of EJM, stated, &#8220;We are excited to bring the story of Marijuana, Inc. to our established press contacts and wide audience, unfamiliar with the growth of the marijuana industry and unique position Marijuana, Inc. offers investors.&#8221;</p>
<p>Additionally, Mr. Miller stated, &#8220;With the positive reception of Discovery Channel&#8217;s &#8216;Weed Wars&#8217;, it is necessary to understand that its success wouldn&#8217;t be possible without pioneers like Perlowin, whose achievements over thirty years ago helped build the foundation of today&#8217;s medical marijuana programs and the current state of acceptance we see today with a majority of voters in favor of physician recommended medical marijuana.&#8221;</p>
<p>About EJM: With a 15 year history of unsurpassed skill in the field of Investor &amp; Public Relations for public companies, EJM works with an exhaustive base of writers and editors to ensure company visibility with an emphasis on interviews with management to ensure an accurate and unbiased coverage of companies otherwise undervalued and overlooked.</p>
<p>About Marijuana, Inc.: &#8212; Marijuana, Inc. is not involved in cultivating, transporting or marketing medical marijuana. Rather, it creates infrastructure products for the growing (no pun intended) medical cannabis industry and the increasing peripheral businesses created by emerging acceptance (Gallup Poll 10/17/11 showing 50% approval for legalizing marijuana use &#8212; the highest in US history) as state after state adopts medical cannabis nationwide. Emphasis on infrastructure creation catapults HEMP.pk to the forefront of this multi-billion dollar industry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MagneGas Corporation (OTCBB: MNGA) has developed a unique technology that creates hydrogen-based fuel through the gasification of liquid waste. Unlike Fuel Tech Inc. (NASDAQ: FTEK) or CECO Environmental Corp (NASDAQ: CECE), the company’s technology offers a solution that addresses both renewable energy and waste management.</p>
<p>Under the direction of a new President, the company is undergoing a change from an equipment vendor to a full service operator. The change enables the firm to transition away from difficult one-off machine sales to easier recurring revenues from operation. Notably, the shift is also expected to result in strong revenue growth near-term profitability.</p>
<p><strong>Unique Technology &amp; Business Model</strong></p>
<p>MagneGas has developed a unique technology that converts a hydrogen-based fuel through the gasification of liquid waste<a href="#_edn1">[i]</a>. Using a proprietary plasma arc machine, the new fuel generated is a green alternative to natural gas that potentially can be used in a variety of different markets ranging from the metal working industry to municipal waste markets.</p>
<p>The company is targeting a number of different industries with this technology, the metal working market being among its largest target markets. With five fuel distributors already signed up, the firm will market through established industry wholesalers, trade events and media coverage in industry trade journals, among other things.</p>
<p><strong>Strong Growth, Near-term Profitability</strong></p>
<p>MagneGas has already seen strong revenue growth this year, noting in its 10-Q filing that new and existing customers are showing increased interest.  Under its new model, revenues hit $61,253 last quarter, but may be poised to grow sharply in the coming quarters. The firm estimates that it will breakeven by March of 2012.</p>
<p>The company’s balance sheet is also attractive to investors with no long-term debt and a quick ratio in excess of 4x. Combined with current assets of $2.35 million.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>MagneGas represents a compelling investment opportunity with its unique technology and new business model. With strong sales growth and profitability on the horizon, the company is uniquely positioned to unlock significant value for investors in the near-term. As a result, this is one stock that green energy investors may want to watch closely over the coming quarters.</p>

</ul>
<hr size="1" /><a href="#_ednref1">[i]</a> The Company is currently applying for permits to process liquid waste.  In the interim, it is using virgin antifreeze to produce fuel .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>OriginOil Inc. (OTCBB: OOIL), a developer of breakthrough technologies to extract oil from algae and an emerging leader in the global algae oil services industry, similar to Solazyme Inc. (NASDAQ: SYZM), helps reduce biofuel dependence on food crops, which has been a major concern in an industry dominated by companies like Amyris Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRS). Recently, the company added a veteran biomass scientist to its Board of Advisors.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>OriginOil, Inc. (OTC/BB: OOIL), the developer of a breakthrough technology to extract oil from algae and an emerging leader in the global algae oil services industry, today announced the appointment of Dr. Thomas H. Ulrich to its Board of Advisors. Dr. Ulrich was most recently an Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Advisory Scientist and worked closely with OriginOil to create a strategic partnership between INL and OriginOil, as well as launching the first Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) between OriginOil and INL. He has been a key supporter of OriginOil&#8217;s technology and offers tremendous value to the company as a highly regarded thought leader in field of biomass and bioenergy.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was my privilege to work alongside Dr. Ulrich at the Idaho National Lab, and Tom has been key to our collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy on biofuel standardization,&#8221; said Paul Reep, OriginOil&#8217;s senior vice president of technology. &#8220;We have a similar vision and goal of creating standards for biofuels that will advance the whole industry. The OriginOil team joins me in welcoming Dr. Ulrich.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dr. Ulrich added, &#8220;This is a great opportunity for me to continue to contribute to our nation&#8217;s pursuit of energy independence. OriginOil offers a cost-effective and scalable industrial process that has the potential to make algae a very viable petroleum alternative. Driven by its innovation, intellectual property portfolio, and industry relationships, I believe OriginOil will be the key player in industrial algae technologies.&#8221;</p>
<p>While at INL, Dr. Ulrich collaborated with OriginOil in the design, implementation, and successful completion of OriginOil&#8217;s Phase 1 CRADA in February of 2009. This Phase 1 CRADA resulted in an unprecedented Energy Balance Model bringing algae-based fuels one step closer to reality. He has also contributed to the design of Phases 2 and 3 of the CRADA. Dr. Ulrich has been a key contributor to developing the Blendable Feedstock Standard, in which OriginOil is collaborating with the Department of Energy, and which has the potential to help reduce biofuel dependence on food crops.</p>
<p>Dr. Ulrich also initiated and expanded INL&#8217;s algae biomass R&amp;D program focusing on the integration of algal systems into INL&#8217;s feedstock supply chain with the development of a uniform feedstock for the bioenergy industry.</p>
<p>Dr. Thomas Ulrich has more than 25 years of experience in planning, securing funding, executing projects as a group leader and principal scientist in private industry and at INL. He has successfully identified internal and external researchers that have strategically partnered to pursue and capture a broad range of Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and private industry R&amp;D funding opportunities.</p>
<p>For his contribution to the Department of Energy&#8217;s seminal 2011 Billion-Ton Update, Dr. Ulrich received a Letter of Commendation and a Certificate of Appreciation from the Biomass Program of the Department of Energy&#8217;s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy. His areas of research include assessing the quality of biomass feedstock that is derived from genetically modified plants, and characterizing gene expression that impacts biomass productivity.</p>
<p>Dr. Ulrich has collaborated on biomass projects funded by the Department of Commerce and Department of Energy. He was most recently an INL Advisory Scientist in the Biological Science Department. He earned his Ph.D. in Agronomy from the University of Illinois, Champaign–Urbana, Illinois. Dr. Ulrich also holds a M.S. in Genetics from Washington State University and a B.S. in Zoology from Washington State University, Pullman, WA.</p>
<p>About OriginOil, Inc. (www.originoil.com)</p>
<p>OriginOil helps algae growers extract oil from algae for use as a feedstock for the commercial production of transportation fuels, chemicals and foods. In a single step, our breakthrough technology efficiently dewaters and breaks down algae for its useful products, overcoming one of the greatest challenges in making algae a viable replacement for petroleum. As a pioneer and the emerging leader in the global algae oil services field, OriginOil supports its core algae extraction technology with an array of process innovations for some of the world&#8217;s most successful algae growers and refiners, just as pioneers like Schlumberger and Halliburton have done in the oilfield services industry.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Marijuana Inc. (PINK: HEMP), a company focused on the large peripheral businesses created by the quickly emerging, and growing, multibillion dollar medical marijuana and hemp industries containing companies like General Cannabis Inc. (PINK: CANA) and Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS), recently applauded the presidential candidates’ stance on medical marijuana.</em></p>
<p>Marijuana Inc (Pinksheets: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=hemp.pk">HEMP.PK</a>) is proud to applaud Presidential candidates, including Republican Hermain Cain, for his stance on the regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries, stating that those decisions are best left to the states, as reported in the November 16 issue of the Huffington Post (<a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/16/herman-cain-says-medical-marijuana-regulation-should-be-left-to-the-states_n_1097657.html">See article</a>).</p>
<p>&#8220;If states want to legalize medical marijuana, I think that&#8217;s a state&#8217;s right,&#8221; said Cain, in an interview with NBC News&#8217; Andrew Rafferty. &#8220;Because one of my overriding approaches to looking at all of these issues &#8212; most of them belong at the state, because when you do something federally&#8230; you try to force one-size-fits-all.&#8221; Cain&#8217;s comments, which came at a campaign stop in Urbandale, Iowa, marks the first time that Cain has taken a position on the legalization of medical cannabis.</p>
<p>Additionally, Republican presidential candidate Gary Johnson has already come out in favor of legalizing marijuana, telling the Huffington Post in a recent interview that &#8220;it&#8217;s only a matter of time before marijuana is legalized.&#8221;</p>
<p>In an interview with Outside Magazine, he called pot smokers, &#8220;the largest untapped voting bloc in the country,&#8221; pointing to a recently released Gallup poll showing that a record high 50 percent of Americans favor legalizing marijuana, up from just 36 percent in 2006. Those numbers could have significant implications for candidates on the campaign trail.</p>
<p>Texas Gov. Republican Rick Perry has advocated a states&#8217; rights approach to medical marijuana, while Ron Paul (R-Texas) has called for an end to the war on drugs, insisting, like a growing number of presidential candidates, that marijuana laws should be set by the states.</p>
<p>David Tobias, the President of Marijuana, Inc. (HEMP.pk), stated, &#8220;The most recent Gallop Poll shows 50% of Americans favor the legalization of marijuana, and one WashPost/ABC News poll found support for legalizing medical marijuana to be as high as 81%. This popular support indicates that various aspects of the marijuana industry will continue to be a growth sector in the economic landscape, and our company is indeed at the right place at the right time.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The fact that mainstream presidential candidates like Herman Cain and Rick Perry are saying that their administrations would respect states&#8217; rights to implement medical marijuana laws shows just how far this debate has come,&#8221; said Tom Angell, spokesman for the legalization advocacy group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (<a href="http://www.leap.cc/">http://www.leap.cc</a>) in an email to HuffPost on Wednesday. &#8220;Support for reforming our marijuana laws is no longer considered a third rail of politics &#8212; if it ever was one &#8212; and politicians are increasingly realizing that it is a good move to align themselves with the 80 percent of the public that supports medical marijuana.&#8221;</p>
<p>CEO of Marijuana, Inc. (HEMP.PK) Bruce Perlowin stated, &#8220;Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have passed laws legalizing medical marijuana, and at least six more will be voting on this issue in the 2012 elections. The growth curve of the recreational marijuana, medical cannabis and industrial hemp industries is continuing to expand. Keeping ahead of this curve is historically something we have always done in our personal and business entrepreneurial endeavors here at Marijuana, Inc.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There may not be a hotter up-and-coming industry than bioenergy.  With all the green initiatives to protect our planet and conserve our dwindling resources, the industry is flourishing, but this is still only the tip of the iceberg as decades of exponential growth are anticipated.  Companies late to enter the picture may still be finding a spot, but they will be sharing space with established industry influencers such as OriginOil, Inc. (OTCBB:OOIL) and Solazyme, Inc. (NASDAQ:SZYM).</p>
<p><strong>Rebuilding the Biofuel Boom</strong></p>
<p>Biofuels have been getting attention for a number of years with corn-based ethanol as a pace horse sending stocks such as Pacific Ethanol (NASDAQ:PEIX) from $1.40 to $20. But… other factors such as questions of true viability, subsidy issues, tax credit revocations and cropland displacement have certainly thwarted optimism, perhaps somewhat unjustifiably.   The reality is that ethanol is a permanent part of gasoline and will be a valuable commodity for the foreseeable future.  How it is derived is the point in question.  As such, investors are on the prowl for entry levels on the next hot biofuel and many of savvy are turning to the algae industry.</p>
<p>As a preferred biofuel feedstock, as well as other applications, algae technology is still in its infancy, but rapidly being realized for massive potential.  Extracting and separating oil contained inside of algae cells provides a product which can be refined into many types of fuel, including diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, and even ethanol.</p>
<p>Outside of the industry, many may not even know about it.  Inside the industry, however, the buzz is strong and garnering mainstream attraction day by day.  The new boom is about to begin.</p>
<p><strong>Why Algae?</strong></p>
<p>Just for starters, algae is far more efficient for converting solar energy into chemical energy than terrestrial crops.  This bridges the expansive land area issues associated with corn and soy (two common bases for biofuel) production.  Moreover land and water required for algae doesn’t have to be arable or potable, respectively.  This makes areas such as the desert Southwest of the U.S. usable, when in many other instances it is not.   As such, algae is no competition for precious food resources.</p>
<p><strong>The Trend Shift and New Catalyst</strong></p>
<p>An October article in <a href="http://www.algaeindustrymagazine.com/algae-business-hydrotreating-algae-for-jet-fuel/">Algae Industry Magazine.com</a> focused on the aviation industry as a catalyst for algae feedstock explosion.  More succinctly, the article stated “Jet fuel will prime the pump for algae’s increasing dominance as the global renewable fuel of choice.”  It also noted Boeing’s (NYSE:BA) biofuel-powered non-stop flight from Seattle to Paris as a showcase of the feasibility of biofuel for jets.  While that flight may have been the “Wright Brothers” type of milestone, Solazyme was back in the <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/11/06/uk-solazyme-unitedair-idUSLNE7A500I20111106">news</a> demonstrating mainstream uses for its biofuel.  According to the news, United Airlines (NYSE:UAL) has made the first U.S. commercial flight using Solajet™, a blend that includes 60 percent petroleum-based jet fuel and 40 percent biofuel.  Solazyme has made several large-scale sales of its algae-based biofuel product, including a massive order for the U.S. Navy.  The Naval order goes hand-in-hand with government initiatives to slash fossil fuel use by 50 percent over the next decade.</p>
<p>The trend shift is happening worldwide.  For example, Australia&#8217;s largest ethanol producer, Manildra, has announced plans to diversify in algae.</p>
<p>Wending way for further new technologies is OriginOil, Inc.  The company’s technology helps algae growers extract oil from algae for use as a feedstock for the commercial production of transportation fuels, chemicals and foods. In one fluid process, OriginOil’s revolutionary technology dewaters and breaks down algae for its useful products, overcoming one of the greatest challenges in making algae a viable replacement for petroleum.   The Company intends to issue licenses for its technology and enable algae producers to reach commercialization, reduce costs and cut carbon emissions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Profire Energy Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE) is an innovative provider of safe and efficient burner management systems and services for use in oilfield combustion, with customers like Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE: DVN) and EnCana Corporation (NYSE: ECA), as well as smaller “mom and pop” oil and gas exploration and development companies.</p>
<p><strong>Triple-Digit Top &amp; Bottom Line Growth</strong></p>
<p>Last quarter, Profire Energy reported net income that rose 103% to $1,185,658, or $0.03 per share, on revenues that increased 112% to $4,522,251. The strong results were due to significant growth in both its goods and services divisions. Several new customers started purchasing systems this quarter as Profire expanded its dedicated sales staff.</p>
<p>While the company experienced a temporary spike in its cost of goods sold, management has addressed the issue with a sourcing employee and is expanding their production suppliers. Investors can expect these efforts to result in stabilized expenses and a long-term decline in costs as it realizes greater economies of scale.</p>
<p><strong>Significantly Undervalued in the Right Market</strong></p>
<p>Profire Energy appears significantly undervalued with a price-earnings ratio of just 10.3x its trailing 12-month earnings per share. Looking ahead, this earnings multiple will only decrease with triple-digit bottom-line growth rates that hit $0.03 per share this past quarter. In fact, on an annualized basis, the current net income could equate to a P/E ratio of just 6.8x.</p>
<p>Given its significant growth rates, the company’s earnings multiple should be much higher. Many analysts believe that a fair valuation is a P/E ratio roughly equivalent to its long-term growth rate – or a PEG ratio of 1.0. Assuming just a 20% annual long-term growth rate, this would equate to a share price of $2.40, which is nearly 200% higher than its current price.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Long-term Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>Profire Energy represents an attractive investment opportunity at its current levels. Despite reporting triple-digit increases in its top and bottom line results, the company trades with an earnings multiple of 10.3x trailing and just 6.8x forward. These figures point to a fair valuation that could be in excess of $2.00 per share, according to metrics used by many analysts.</p>

(OTC.BB:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=zero.ob">ZERO.OB</a>) (&#8220;STWA&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), an innovative company creating technology focused on energy efficiency of large-scale energy production and improved fuel economy for diesel fleets, announced today that is has delivered the second of three scheduled license payments to Temple University per its two exclusive worldwide licensing agreements executed on August 9, 2011.</p>
<p>The exclusive licensing agreement covers STWA&#8217;s Applied Oil Technology (AOT™) crude oil viscosity reduction technology and ELEKTRA™ for improved diesel engine efficiency, as well as future advancements to the technology through collaborative R&amp;D between STWA and Temple University.</p>
<p>&#8220;Since the execution of our new exclusive worldwide licensing agreement with Temple University in August, we have delivered on our licensing payments, as well as a major development milestone by proving, as reported by the U.S. Department of Energy, AOT™ increases pipeline efficiencies by 13.14% to 13.55% when AOT™ was running at just one-third of its intended power capacity,&#8221; stated STWA Chairman and CEO Mr. Cecil Bond Kyte. &#8220;We are moving forward with our next development milestones and look forward to continuing our very productive collaboration with Dr. Tao, Chairman of Temple University&#8217;s Physics Department, and Temple&#8217;s office of Technology Development and Commercialization.&#8221;</p>
<p>Stephen G. Nappi, Director of Technology Development and Commercialization at Temple University added, &#8220;We are pleased with STWA&#8217;s ability to advance the applied oil and fuel injection technologies beyond the laboratory setting to field-based proof-of-concept.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>SMA Alliance, Inc. (SMAA.PK), provider of a state-of-the art software generating traffic to retailers of the automotive industry, similar to companies such as CarMax (NYSE:KMX) and AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN), recently signed new contracts that should help increase its annual revenues by $447,000 on an ongoing basis.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>SMA Alliance, Inc. (pinksheets:SMAA) recently today that November 2011 is not only turning out to be another promising month for growth, but an astonishing month for sales. Second week&#8217;s financials indicate additional signing of 12 dealerships increasing SMA&#8217;s annualized revenue by $447,000.00 per year. Financial reports show that to date of this 4th quarter, the total annualized revenue has increased by two million dollars ($2,000,000.00). As the month of November moves towards the end, SMA is positioned to have another record breaking month.</p>
<p>Contracts with GM Certified dealers are a major benefit and a contributing factor to the more recent, successful months at SMA Alliance. Major vehicle manufacturers continually monitor and track competition. Once the success of these GM Certified dealers is recognized by the automotive community, SMA Alliance is encouraged that other major, certified dealers will follow.</p>
<p>Mr. Anthony Baker, CEO of SMA Alliance, stated, &#8220;Even though Thanksgiving is approaching fast, we&#8217;re seeing a push for sales at our dealerships. Watching and tracking our sales, I truly believe that 2011 will surprise all of us here at SMA. As the year end approaches, we&#8217;ll be stepping up our marketing approaches to entice dealerships for Christmas and New Year Sales.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CrowdGather Inc. (OTCBB: CRWG), an owner and operator of a network of online forums monetized with a unique advertising platform, is popular among analysts and investors. Taking a different approach than social media companies like LinkedIn Corporation (NYSE: LNKD) and online portal operators like AOL Inc. (NYSE: AOL), the company’s audience consists of forum users that are both passionate and highly-targetable for advertisers.</p>
<p>Zacks Research is an analyst with a bullish outlook on the company. The analyst set a 6-month price target of $1.75 per share in July of 2011, which represents a significant <strong>929% premium</strong> to the current market price. Among the reasons for the high target, the analyst cited high sales increases, improving traffic figures, and a low value per user relative to other companies.</p>
<p><a href="http://theotcinvestor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CRWG_SCIR-Analyst-Report.pdf">Click Here: Read the Full Zack’s Research Report</a></p>
<p><strong>Traffic Provides Leverage for Monetization</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather’s growing traffic figures have generated interest from analysts and investors. In July, the company <a href="http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=203349&amp;p=irol-newsArticle&amp;ID=1590515&amp;highlight=">announced</a> that its network page views and unique visitors <strong>doubled</strong> year-over-year. Then in September, the firm <a href="http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=203349&amp;p=irol-newsArticle_Print&amp;ID=1604959&amp;highlight=">announced</a> that its monthly traffic <strong>jumped 50%</strong> after it purchased Yuku.com. And recently, the company hit a level of 235mm page views and 23mm unique visits <em>each month</em>.</p>
<p>These improving traffic statistics should help CrowdGather better package and monetize its traffic. And with its acquisition of Adisn’s advertising technology in June of 2010, the company is preparing to monetize its traffic with <em>even higher</em> CPMs. Zacks Research added that this will likely produce upside revenue <strong>surprises</strong> in FY2012, but it <em>didn’t </em>include the projections into the aforementioned price target.</p>
<p><strong>Acquisitions Build Shareholder Value</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather has also become extremely adept at acquiring and effectively monetizing online forums. By offsetting acquisitions’ dilution with his previously <em>canceled shares</em>, CEO Sanjay Sabnani’s acquisition strategy aims for a very rapid payback period and high return on investment. Ultimately, these acquisitions are meant to build a base that will continue to drive its <strong>rapid growth</strong> moving forward.</p>
<p>In the future, the company’s proprietary advertising network should help it leverage these acquisitions even more. Higher CPM rates will help immediately improve revenues, while expanding this advertising platform beyond its own network would create a whole <strong>new revenue stream</strong>. Combined, these factors could help the firm <strong>meet and exceed</strong> the price targets set by analysts like Zacks Research.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>CrowdGather has taken a unique approach to the online publishing and advertising industries. By targeting forums, the company leverages passionate users to give advertisers unparalleled exposure for their brands. The firm’s acquisition of Adisn also provides it with the technology needed to create its own online advertising platform, and generate <strong>significant long-term value</strong> for shareholders.</p>

(SMAA.PK), provider of a state-of-the art software generating traffic to retailers of the automotive industry, similar to companies such as CarMax (NYSE:KMX) and AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN), recently provided shareholders with an update on its early strong November 2011 sales levels.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>SMA Alliance (pinksheets:SMAA) is pleased to announce their incredible sales force has delivered impressive first week sales for the month of November 2011. As of Saturday, November 5th, 2011 official sales for the week indicate a signing of an additional 9 new dealerships, increasing the annualized revenue of SMA Alliance by $463,000.00. Typically 4th quarter sales are understandably less due to the upcoming holiday season, but SMA Alliance is strong arming the evident, economic rebound in the automotive community.</p>
<p>Each week as the year ends, SMA Alliance will issue statements pertaining to sales, yearend projections and ultimately fiscal, yearend sales. Due to the overwhelming number of calls into the SMA office, company officials feel weekly statements will benefit the shareholders and their own due diligence into the SMA organization. SMA Alliance has plans of expansion to help alleviate call congestion and better handling of shareholder correspondence.</p>
<p>Mr. Anthony Baker stated, &#8220;My hat&#8217;s off to our sales team! After a monumental month in October, our sales team is definitely primed for continued success. As for the investment side of SMA, I believe now that everyone from a speculative point of view can begin to see just how undervalued our stock really is. We here at SMA have wide-open eyes for a promising new year.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Marijuana Inc. (PINK: HEMP.PK), a company focused on the rapidly growing peripheral industry surrounding the medical cannabis and hemp industries. While companies like General Cannabis Inc. (PINK: CANA) and Cannabis Science Inc. (OTCBB: CBIS) have pioneered the medical cannabis industry, Marijuana Inc. may offer the best growth opportunities being at the beginning of its commercialization phase after two years of research and development.</p>
<p>In addition to this commercialization, the company is becoming more transparent with shareholders. The firm retained Eric Littman as its securities attorney and is working diligently to provide updated financial statements to remove the “OTC Pink No Information” designation from its OTC Markets profile, which is expected to occur within two weeks.</p>
<p><strong>HEMP Launches Nutraceutical Product Line</strong></p>
<p>Last month, Marijuana Inc. announced that launch of its KushClear™ nutraceutical product line focused on the medical marijuana community. The company’s all-natural products include a hemp protein powder with spirulina, AFA blue-green algae, Cordyceps and Rhodiola Rosea, as well as male and female “enhancement” supplements. The firm recorded its first revenues from both the KushClear (<a href="http://www.KushClear.com">www.KushClear.com</a>) and Wild Herb Naturals (<a href="http://www.WildHerbNaturals.com">www.WildHerbNaturals.com</a>) lines with online sales and has had a strong, positive response from distributors nationwide to carry these two initial lines.</p>
<p>The nutraceutical products are delivered in liquid or powder forms that are much more effective than tablets or capsules that pass through the body without dissolving. As well, they are enhanced with a Agronifier™ technology, developed by Ferris Holding Inc., that uses a combination of electromagnetic and sound waves to increase their efficacy. The company plans to launch more products in both of these lines over the next 24 months.</p>
<p><strong>New Books &amp; Other Ventures Build Value</strong></p>
<p>Marijuana Inc. also recently began marketing a new book entitled “The Golden Gate Smuggling Company – A San Francisco Marijuana Empire” that marks the beginning of its entertainment division’s commercialization. The book is available now on its website, <a href="http://www.kushclear.com">www.kushclear.com</a>, Amazon.com, and many local bookstores.</p>
<p>The company also announced its Eco-Harmony Loyalty Benefits and Rewards Card that targets cultural creative merchants and customers from a wide variety of industries. Already, the card has begun generating revenues for shareholders, as well as raised money for non-profits and the medical marijuana movement.</p>
<p><strong>A Great Early-Stage Investment Opportunity</strong></p>
<p>Marijuana Inc. represents a great early-stage investment opportunity. With its commercialization phase underway, the company is uniquely positioned to generate shareholder value as the company begins to realize revenues. Meanwhile, its efforts to increase transparency should open the doors to many more investors.</p>
<p>Distinguishing characteristics of the company’s business are its combination of management experience specific to operating a public company within the marijuana industry, sales and distribution experience, high-quality, innovative products in an industry that is undergoing a rapid and dramatic transformation and growth curve.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Global Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: CTG, PINK: GMLFD), a precious metals mining company focused on a wholly-owned silver-copper-antimony deposit in Slovakia, is a unique company with near-term catalysts. Unlike Silver Wheaton Corp (NYSE: SLW) or Pan American Silver Corp (NASDAQ: PAAS), the company is on the verge of commercializing its property and remains significantly undervalued.</p>
<p>With promising resources identified in its NI 43-101 report and a favorable business environment in Slovakia, this is a stock that investors may want to watch closely as it completes its feasibility studies.</p>
<p><strong>Strieborn</strong><strong>á Property Shows Great Promise</strong></p>
<p>Global Mineral’s Strieborná property is a high-grade silver-copper-antimony vein type deposit in a historic mining district near the city of Roznava in eastern Slovakia. Since as early as the 1200s, miners have been digging for gold, silver and iron in the abundant mining district. The company’s NI 43-101 resource in the area has high-grade polymetallic mineralization with excellent infrastructure in place.</p>
<p>Here are the grades identified in its <a href="http://www.globalminerals.com/pdf/Strieborna/latest_NI43101.pdf">NI 43-101 report</a>:</p>
<p><a href="http://theotcinvestor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CTG-Image-11152011.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3967" title="CTG-Image-11152011" src="http://theotcinvestor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/CTG-Image-11152011.png" alt="" width="641" height="266" /></a></p>
<p>Currently, the company is finishing up the sampling of old mine dumps, compiling data, conducting mercury spectrometry and completing geophysical surveys. According to recent press releases, the firm expects to identify potential gold drill targets by the end of the year and complete a feasibility study soon thereafter, which will provide enormous additional insight to investors.</p>
<p><strong>It’s a Great Time to Invest in Slovakia</strong></p>
<p>Slovakia itself is also an excellent investment destination due to its political and economic stability. As a eurozone member, the country utilizes the euro currency and a simple taxation system that is very business-friendly. Major investors in the region include companies like U.S. Steel, IBM, Whirlpool, Deutsche Telekom, Sony, and a variety of other international companies.</p>
<p>Interestingly, Slovakia has sustained the highest GDP growth in the European Union, reporting 10.4% growth in 2007 and the highest rating from the four Visegrad Group countries (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland). Even as Europe has been dragged down by a sovereign debt crisis, the country is poised to report positive growth in 2012. Meanwhile, foreign direct investment increased more than 600% since the year 2000.</p>
<p><strong>About Global Minerals Ltd.</strong></p>
<p>Global Minerals is focused on the development of its 100% owned Strieborná silver-copper-antimony deposit in Slovakia.</p>
<p><strong>About Strieborná</strong></p>
<p>Strieborná is a high-grade silver-copper-antimony vein type deposit in an historic mining district near the town of Roznava in eastern Slovakia. The current NI 43-101 resource occurs within a mineralized structure 1.2 km long, 600 m deep and an average thickness of 3.4 m. The resource has been defined by diamond drilling and a series of four horizontal underground drifts totaling 3,000 m. The mineralization is open in various directions along the vein structure. Other similar structures have been identified within the mining and exploration leases and will be the focus of future exploration drill programs.</p>
<p>Besides the upside of the exploration potential and the high-grade nature of the polymetallic mineralization, the project has excellent infrastructure, including sufficient electrical power, railway access, paved highways and a work force experienced with underground operations. Underground access is available via old mine workings.</p>
<p>Additionally, Global Minerals has acquired a 136 sq km of exploration concessions in the surrounding region. Prospect generation and exploration in this under-explored area will be parallel with Strieborná development.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Gryphon Gold Corporation (OTCBB: GYPH), a precious metals exploration and development company located on a very promising property in Nevada, similar to companies like New Gold Inc. (AMEX: NGD) and DRDGold Ltd. (NASDAQ: DROOY), recently optioned a promising Castle Peak Property that has encountered up to 90 feet of 0.014 opt gold starting at 30 feet.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>Gryphon Gold Corporation (TSX: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=ggn.to">GGN.TO</a>)(OTC.BB:<a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=gyph.ob">GYPH.OB</a>) is pleased to announce that it has optioned the Castle Peak Property located in Esmeralda County, Nevada from Kinross Gold Corporation. The Castle Peak Property hosts a low sulfidation, epithermal gold system that has encountered up to 90 feet of 0.014 opt gold starting a depth of 30 feet.</p>
<p>Castle Peak is located within the Gilbert-Boss-Castle Mining District in Western Esmeralda County, Nevada and consists of 40 unpatented mining claims (800 acres) located at the southern margin of the Monte Cristo Range. The Property is situated 6.5 miles west of the Seabridge Gold&#8217;s Castle-Black Rock Property and is hosted in the same Miocene rhyotite and andesite host rocks with similar low sulfidation alteration.</p>
<p>Kinross has drilled 35 holes at the Castle Peak Property that encountered +0.003 opt gold over at least 20 feet in 23 of the 35 reverse circulation holes. Gold mineralization is hosted in Miocene rhyolite and overlying andesite that has undergone quartz-illite alteration related to sheeted and stockworked quartz veins. Surface rock geochemistry indicates a gold-silver epithermal system in which 93 of 770 samples analyzed contained over 0.029 opt ppm gold with anomalous mercury, arsenic, and antimony.</p>
<p>&#8220;The Gilbert-Boss-Castle District hosts alteration over a similar area and of similar intensity to that of the major districts of the Walker Lane to include Goldfield, Tonopah, and the Comstock&#8221; says Steve Jones, Gryphon&#8217;s VP of Exploration. &#8220;Castle Peak with its possible ore grade intercepts is a great place for Gryphon to start its evaluation of a major district.&#8221;</p>
<p>Under the option agreement, Gryphon Gold will receive a 100% interest in the Castle Peak Property by expending US$1,000,000 in field expenditures over four years. Kinross will retain a Net Smelter Royalty of 2% if the spot price of gold is less than or equal to US$1,500 per ounce or 3% Net Smelter Royalty is the spot price of gold exceeds US$1,500 per ounce. Kinross has the option of regaining up to 75% control of the Property if Gryphon reports a NI43-101 compliant resource of over 2.0 million ounces of gold and if Kinross expends three times (3x) the expenditures of Gryphon with all expenditures spent on field work on the Property. Kinross will have a 120-day period to exercise its right to earn back its control of the property after the NI43-101 reporting of the +2.0 million ounce resource. Gryphon is not required to make any payments to Kinross and the four-year, $1,000,000 earn-in will be spent entirely on field work on the Property.</p>
<p>All technical information contained in this release has been reviewed and approved by Steven K. Jones, CPG, Vice President Exploration for Gryphon Gold Corporation and a &#8220;qualified person&#8221; within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101. Steven K. Jones has verified the sampling data referred to in this press release.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><em>SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V: SVL) </em></strong><em>is a Mexican precious metals producer with headquarters based in Vancouver, BC. The Company’s flagship property is the </em><a href="http://silvercrestmines.com/properties.asp?bp=10"><em>Santa Elena mine</em></a><em>, a currently-producing gold and silver deposit. Their La Joya property is located near producing mines controlled by Pan American Silver Corp. (NASDAQ: PAAS) and First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG).</em></p>
<p>SilverCrest Mines Inc. (TSX-V: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=svl.v">SVL.V</a> &#8211; <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=svl.v">News</a>)(OTCQX: STVQF)(PINK SHEETS: STVQF)(Frankfurt: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=cw5.f">CW5.F</a> &#8211; <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q/h?s=cw5.f">News</a>) (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) is pleased to announce that data compilation for the Phase I drilling program and a newly received historic database has identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target at its <a href="http://silvercrestmines.com/properties.asp?bp=35">La Joya property</a> in Durango, Mexico. The compilation by SilverCrest has involved data and/or drill core review of 51 historic holes (14,786 metres) and 26 Company drill holes (5,716 metres) totaling 20,502 metres of drilling in 77 holes on the property. Verification or validation work completed by an Independent Qualified Person included review of 22 historic holes, Company drill information, geologic mapping, sampling, geochemistry, and historic airborne and ground geophysics. The compilation of these data will be incorporated into the upcoming NI43-101 Technical Report and resource estimate.</p>
<p>All 26 SilverCrest drill holes and 27 historic drill holes (verified with assays) intersected polymetallic mineralization that includes silver (Ag), copper (Cu), gold (Au), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), tungsten (W) and molybdenum (Mo). Thirty three widely-spaced holes approximately 100 metres apart have identified a large, near-surface bulk tonnage target in the Phase I drilling area along the Main Mineralized Trend (&#8220;MMT&#8221;) at La Joya. The MMT is defined, by using results from the Company&#8217;s Phase I program and validated historic drill hole information, as a semi-continuous Ag-Cu-Au-Pb-Zn mineralized corridor with current &#8220;drilled-defined&#8221; dimensions of approximately 1,000 metres by 500 metres. The MMT includes a combination of wide vertical stockwork zones and multiple-stacked, polymetallic, stratabound horizons up to 230 metres in vertical thickness with grades ranging from 15.9 gpt to 202.4 gpt Ag equivalent(i).</p>
<p>The remaining 44 holes that lie outside the Phase I drilling area have identified extensions to current mineralization along the MMT (see news release dated October 17, 2011) and have discovered a number of additional separate targets. Information from the historic database has extended the &#8220;overall&#8221; dimensions of the Main Mineralized Trend to greater than 2.5 kilometres in strike length by approximately one kilometre in width (see table on next page, attached maps and sections: <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AjkO3_Q6AKANyW.O_0nkdWaVuodG;_ylu=X3oDMTFqaGFmbHBnBG1pdANBcnRpY2xlIEJvZHkEcG9zAzUEc2VjA01lZGlhQXJ0aWNsZUJvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTJuZmg4NTI0BGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDMGRlYTJhODAtOWRlZi0zOTljLTg2ZjUtY2RjNmQyMTY3NGMwBHBzdGNhdANuZXdzBHB0A3N0b3J5cGFnZQ--;_ylv=0/SIG=122m74ve6/EXP=1322502512/**http%3A//media3.marketwire.com/docs/fourMaps.pdf">http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/fourMaps.pdf</a>).</p>
<p>N. Eric Fier, CPG, P.Eng. and Chief Operating Officer stated; &#8220;In our first review of the Phase I results we focussed on the higher grade intercepts, but with the receipt of significant historical data we recognized the potential for a much larger, lower grade deposit. The key to identifying the presence of a potential large, near-surface bulk tonnage deposit is establishing continuity of the mineralization and grades of the drill hole intercepts. Our initial geological computer-generated model is increasing our confidence in the continuity and our ability to apply it to the anticipated La Joya resource estimates. The upcoming Phase II drill program will further systematically test the continuity and grade of mineralization in the Phase I area, as well as along the extensions of the Main Mineralized Trend.&#8221;</p>
<p>The several styles of mineralization have been identified at La Joya as follows;</p>
<p>1)  at least 6 multi-stacked, polymetallic, disseminated sulfide, stratabound horizons and mantos up to 50 metres in true thickness with Ag-Cu-Au-Pb-Zn mineralization,</p>

<p>The attached sections, AA&#8217; and BB&#8217;, show the overall inferred continuity of the polymetallic, stratabound horizons, mantos and the Contact Zone, cross-cut by wide mineralized stockwork zones. Longitudinal Section AA&#8217; is along the main axis of a northwest-southeast trending anticline and is looking northeast. Section BB&#8217; is a cross section of the MMT looking north and intercepts Section AA&#8217; at hole SAC98-04. The stratabound horizons, mantos and Contact Zone are more continuous proximal to the centre of the sections where they are influenced by the axis of an anticlinorium. Late stage stockwork zone placement along the axis positively impacts mineralization where the highest grades tend to be located. True thicknesses of mineralization in drill holes can be approximated from the attached sections (To view sections, visit the following link: <a href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Akvtbj.lKs0_8D1OmG6Am2mVuodG;_ylu=X3oDMTFqY2dxYjVxBG1pdANBcnRpY2xlIEJvZHkEcG9zAzYEc2VjA01lZGlhQXJ0aWNsZUJvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTJuZmg4NTI0BGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDMGRlYTJhODAtOWRlZi0zOTljLTg2ZjUtY2RjNmQyMTY3NGMwBHBzdGNhdANuZXdzBHB0A3N0b3J5cGFnZQ--;_ylv=0/SIG=1219spd5i/EXP=1322502512/**http%3A//media3.marketwire.com/docs/AAandBB.pdf">http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/AAandBB.pdf</a>).</p>
<p>The following table presents the weighted, uncut average assay results (excluding Pb, Zn, Mo and W) of the 33 drill holes located within the Phase 1 area which identify the potential bulk tonnage deposit at La Joya. Twenty five of the 26 holes drilled by the Company in Phase I are stated in the table below with most significant hole intercepts. Selective higher grade intervals for these holes were previously announced and can be reviewed in news releases dated March 7, 2011, June 6, 2011 and October 17, 2011.</p>

<p>Company hole LJ DD11-15 not presented in the table intercepted the &#8220;gold-tungsten halo&#8221; from surface to 64.0 meters grading 7.8 gpt Ag, 0.1 % Cu, 0.13 gpt Au and 0.074 % W. This hole is currently considered to be outside of the Main Mineralized Trend. Holes SAC98-01 to 06, S-9 and LB98-04 are historic holes that have been validated by an Independent Qualified Person for the purpose of NI43-101 reporting. Currently, only these 8 historic holes and all 26 Company holes have been independently validated for resource estimation purposes. Work is ongoing to further validate additional historic information.</p>
<p>There are numerous lead and zinc values in selected drill hole intervals grading up to 2.5 % combined Pb and Zn over 16.6 metres, which are not included in the silver equivalent calculations. High grade selective molybdenum intervals have been intersected in drill holes grading up to 0.7 % Mo over 1.5 metres. In addition to the silver, copper, gold, lead, zinc and molybdenum mineralization, the La Joya property potentially hosts a large, near-surface bulk tonnage tungsten deposit. This target partially overlaps polymetallic mineralization within the Main Mineralized Trend. Grades for near-surface tungsten range from 0.02 to 0.50% W. Further results on tungsten will be provided once compilations have been completed.</p>
<p>All sample preparation for Company-drilled holes and validation of historic results was completed by ALS Chemex in Zacatecas, and analyzed by ALS Chemex in North Vancouver. Selected samples were analyzed at the Company&#8217;s lab at its Santa Elena Mine, and were re-run at ALS Chemex for verification and QA/QC purposes.</p>
<p>Additional Targets Outside the MMT</p>
<p>Surface work, recent geophysics and historic drilling have outlined additional targets at La Joya with excellent potential for continued discoveries (see attached map). Further drilling in these areas is planned for the Phase II program.</p>
<p>Cerro Coloradito: This target lies approximately 1 kilometre west of the MMT. It has been drilled with 7 widely spaced drill holes, all of which contain significant values of Ag, Cu, Au, and Mo. Historic hole S-4 intercepted 76.2 metres from surface grading 24 gpt Ag, 0.15 gpt Au and 0.076 % molybdenum (Mo). Eight holes are proposed to further test this target by Q2 2012.</p>
<p>Santo Nino: This target is approximately 1 kilometre east of the MMT and has been tested with 3 widely spaced drill holes. Historic hole S-1, intercepted 24.3 metres grading 11.8 gpt Ag, 0.45% Cu, and 0.12 gpt Au. Six holes are proposed to further test this target by Q2 2012.</p>
<p>La Esperanza: This target is approximately 500 metres northeast of the MMT and contains an underground historic mine with geology and mineralization similar to the MMT. Five holes are proposed to further test this target by Q2 2012.</p>
<p>The Company is completing a resource estimate for La Joya and a NI 43-101 Technical Report which is anticipated in Q4 2011. A Phase II program is currently in the planning stage, and contemplates a program of approximately 60 drill holes, in excess of 10,000 metres, to begin in Q4 2011 at an estimated cost of US$3 million</p>
<p>The Company has the right to acquire 100% of the La Joya Property which is located approximately 75 kilometres southeast of the city of Durango, Mexico. The property is located in a productive mineralized region which currently supports several large scale mining operations including Grupo Mexico&#8217;s San Martin Mine, Industrias Penoles&#8217; Sabinas Mine, Pan American Silver&#8217;s La Colorada Mine and First Majestic Silver&#8217;s La Parrilla Silver Mine.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Gryphon Gold Corporation (OTCBB: GYPH), a precious metals exploration and development company located on a very promising property in Nevada, similar to companies like New Gold Inc. (AMEX: NGD) and DRDGold Ltd. (NASDAQ: DROOY), recently provided an update on its production activities at its Borealis oxide gold heap leach operation.</em></p>
<p>Gryphon Gold Corporation (TSX: GGN) (OTCBB: GYPH) is pleased to provide an update of the production activities at its wholly owned Borealis oxide gold heap leach operation.</p>
<p>Gryphon Gold broke ground and began construction activities on the Borealis oxide gold heap leach operation on June 6, 2011, which was å using proceeds of its $10 million public offering closed in May, 2011. Construction of the project remained on schedule and below budget through the first three months. Gryphon Gold began stacking heap leach pads in early September and began the leaching cycle on September 26, 2011, and fluid return from the heap leach pad began in less than 24 hours. The carbon columns were activated in early October and the first loaded carbon was shipped to Just Refiners, Inc. in Reno, Nevada on October 13, 2011.</p>
<p>Gryphon Gold is unable to issue assays on the loaded carbon until the gold and silver assays are settled with Just Refiners. Gryphon Gold estimates that the loaded carbon gold and silver assays from the October shipments will assay approximately 15%-20% of gold and silver that will be loaded on carbon when the Borealis oxide gold heap leach operation is loading at full capacity.</p>
<p>Final settlement assays routinely require the use of third party independent evaluators, and the final payments to Gryphon Gold are expected 6 to 7 weeks from the shipment date. Gryphon Gold management projects that the ramp up of production through the end of the year will produce 3,700 gold equivalent ounces and the total estimated production for the 2012 calendar year will be 43,600 gold equivalent ounces.</p>
<p>October production would have been near or at plan if overliner production had met planned overliner targets. (The overliner material is coarse screened material that forms a protective drainage layer between the HDP 80 mil liner and the agglomerated heap material.) The 3&#8242; overliner layer is being crushed and screened by a contractor using Borealis waste material that has a gold grade averaging .012 oz./ton. To date the contractor has not maintained a rate of production to allow for full crusher utilization by Gryphon Gold. To increase overliner production, Gryphon has utilized the services of a second contractor to provide additional screened material from a local quarry.</p>
<p>To compensate for the shortfall in overliner production, Gryphon Gold will take immediate action as follows: 1) A second layer of heap material will be placed over the first layer of heap material that has been leached, and 2) The second heap will be placed with a height of 25 feet versus the 12 feet height doubling the capacity per square foot of liner. These two actions are anticipated to provide approximately 6 weeks of stacking capacity at 5000 tons per day giving the contractor the time to complete the overliner for the remainder of the heap leach pad.</p>
<p>&#8220;The phased approach on a limited budget is a very aggressive manner to bring a mine into production. To date we have performed ahead of expectations in terms of the construction timeline. In terms of production data, the gold recovery to fluid to date is estimated at 35% with heaps still receiving cyanide and producing ounces, and recovery of gold to carbon running at approximately 97.7%,&#8221; said John Key, Gryphon CEO. &#8220;The overliner production has limited our ability to place material on the heap leach pad and we are committed to taking the actions to clear the way to full production.&#8221;</p>
<p>ABOUT GRYPHON GOLD:</p>
<p>Gryphon Gold is a Nevada-focused gold exploration company. The Company&#8217;s principal property is its Borealis gold project located in the Walker Lane gold belt of western Nevada.</p>
<p>This press release contains &#8220;forward-looking statements&#8221; and &#8220;forward-looking information&#8221; within the meaning of United States and Canadian securities laws, which may include, but are not limited to statements relating to the Company&#8217;s plans to increase performance at its Borealis Oxide Heap Leach Project; gold and silver assay estimates; expectations related to shipping, delivery, sales and revenue from gold and silver sales at the Borealis Oxide Heap Leach Project; assumptions related to revenue and ability to fund operations, capital requirements and exploration; assumptions related to gold grade and recoverability, success of exploration and drill programs and other statements relating to plans, estimates, objectives, and timing. Such forward-looking statements and forward-looking information reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, the risk that additional financing for the development of the Borealis Oxide Heap Leach Project, may be required, and if so, may not be available on terms satisfactory to the Company if at all, risks associated with the start up of mining operations, and the risks and uncertainties outlined under the section headings &#8220;Forward-Looking Statements&#8221; and &#8220;Risks Factors and Uncertainties&#8221; in the Company&#8217;s annual report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC and Canadian securities regulatory authorities on June 30, 2011, and in the Company&#8217;s other reports, documents, and registration statements filed with the SEC (available at www.sec.gov ) and with Canadian securities administrators (available at www.sedar.com ). Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, believed, estimated or expected. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, except as may be required by law. Full financial statements and securities filings are available on the Company&#8217;s website: www.gryphongold.com and www.sec.gov or www.sedar.com .</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SMA Alliance, Inc. (SMAA.PK), provider of a state-of-the art software generating traffic to retailers of the automotive industry, similar to companies such as CarMax (NYSE:KMX) and AutoNation, Inc. (NYSE:AN), continues an aggressive pursuit to capture market share.  Its hard-line model is catching the attention of others in the industry and resulting in strategic partnerships that could serve as a growth catalyst in the near term.</p>
<p><strong>2-Week Recap</strong></p>
<p>Lead generation is about horizontal expansiveness.  SMA Alliance began building their technology steadily throughout the past year, but has hit the gas to expand the breadth of their domain in the fourth quarter.  In the waning days of October, SMA Alliance reported that it had formed a major alliance with Carstir.com, an auction house that has developed a solution that monetizes dealer-to-dealer inventory transactions.  With over 300 active dealers in their network, Carstir.com a hot commodity as one of the largest dealer-to-dealer auction sites available today.</p>
<p>Also fueling the momentum behind SMAA was a new deal that was struck just over a week ago to kick-off November.  The Company reported “another dominating move” to adding Viral Solutions to their portfolio of partners.  Viral Solutions is a multi-faceted sales organization that provides customized solutions in the areas of sales development, sales training, consulting, marketing and e-marketing, brand awareness, and social media presence and positioning.  In the world of online strategies, the words “going viral” are two of the most powerful words available in any marketing efforts.  This new alliance will facilitate SMAA a deeper market penetration reaching even more auto dealerships, thus broadening its domestic footprint</p>
<p><strong>Building Upon the Base</strong></p>
<p>As mentioned, SMA Alliance meticulously developed its technology – the building blocks for its future – before revving the motor recently.  These new relationships continue to strengthen the infrastructure of SMA Alliance as the tiers of the business continue to be built upon a strong foundation.  The speed at which the deals are happening is reflective of the caliber of management and the business model.</p>
<p>CEO Anthony Baker summarized things well in recently stating, &#8220;Our goal at the end of the day is to bring qualified companies together under one platform allowing our dealerships the most comprehensive program to date. Because of our commitment for success, SMA will continue capturing more of the market share in the automotive sector.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Profire Energy Inc. (OTCBB: PFIE), a profitable manufacturer, installer and servicer of oilfield combustion management systems and related burner products to aid oil and natural gas producers, similar to companies like Baker Hughes Inc.

<p>Profire Energy, Inc.

The components also meet higher specification criteria and heighten safety even in extreme environmental conditions.</p>

Additionally, through the utilization of the new engineering specifications and the new fabricators the company expects margin expansion on a per unit basis. The new components will be included in the PF 2100 shipments starting in the fourth quarter.</p>
<p>&#8220;Our engineering staff has worked diligently to add benefits to our clients and cut costs. We feel that these steps lead us in providing the finest products in the industry as we continue to add value to our end users and shareholders alike,&#8221; stated Brenton Hatch, CEO, Profire Energy, Inc.</p>
<p>The Company manufactures, installs and services oilfield combustion management systems and related burner products. Its products and services aid oil and natural gas producers in the safe and efficient development and transportation of carbon-based fuels. The Company&#8217;s lead products are the Profire 2100 and the Profire 1100, which are burner management systems that oil and gas producers rely on to provide reliable management and ignition of combustion burners and associated vessels such as separators, dehydrators, line heaters, incinerators, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>MacroSolve Inc. (OTCQB: MCVE), a developer of business applications for mobile environments and owner of a landmark mobile patent, similar to companies like RPX Corp. (NASDAQ: RPXC) and Mitek Systems, Inc. (OTCBB: MITK), recently reports its quarterly financial results that showed a 371% increase in year-over-year revenues and continued growth.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>For the third consecutive quarter, MacroSolve, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: <a href="http://www.marketwire.com/news_room/Stock?ticker=MCVE">MCVE</a>) (OTCQB: <a href="http://www.marketwire.com/news_room/Stock?ticker=MCVE">MCVE</a>) (&#8220;MacroSolve&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a leading provider of mobile technologies, apps and solutions for business, announced a significant increase in revenues driven by its patented mobile app technologies. Net sales for the quarter of ended September 30, 2011, rose to $593,000, a $467,000 or 371% increase over net sales of $126,000 for the same period in 2010. This increase was driven by sales of the Company&#8217;s software products and licensing, and solution services. On a quarter-over-quarter basis, MacroSolve&#8217;s revenues grew by 170% from $219,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2011.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.marketwire.com/press-release/macrosolve-announces-fy-2011-third-quarter-results-pinksheets-mcve-1585089.htm">Click Here: View Financial Statements</a></p>
<p>Sales of the Company&#8217;s mobile app solutions consisted of custom mobile app development, revenues from software product sales and licensing, as well as recurring revenue from MacroSolve&#8217;s ReForm XT™ and Insight™ line of mobile apps.</p>
<p>&#8220;This has been a pivotal quarter for MacroSolve. We&#8217;ve solidified the shift in our sources of revenue from legacy services and hardware to an emphasis on our patented mobile app platforms. These are higher margin, recurring revenue sources. We have the technology, and the development and management talent to dominate in the mobile app industry,&#8221; stated MacroSolve President and CEO Steve Signoff. &#8220;These third quarter revenues do not yet reflect the significant and strategic business development agreements we&#8217;ve put in place in Q2 and Q3 with Donald Trump Jr. and The Richards Group, both of which we expect will yield us major national accounts and sales that will create a very positive impact in future quarterly revenues.&#8221;</p>
<p>For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, net sales increased to $929,000, by $396,000 or 74%, from $533,000 in the same period of 2010. The 74% increase in revenues was derived primarily from the Company&#8217;s software products sales and licensing activities.</p>
<p>The Company more than offset a decline in revenues from legacy services and the absence of hardware sales, which the Company discontinued in 2010 due to low margins. These revenue declines were offset by an increase in software product sales and licensing. MacroSolve&#8217;s operational focus is on growing higher margin sales and building execution capability and capacity.</p>
<p>Loss from operations for the third quarter of 2011 was $(535,000), an increase of $119,000, or 29%, from loss from operations in the same period of 2010 of $(416,000). Similarly, loss from operations for the first nine months of 2011 was $(1,676,000), an increase of $490,000 or 41%, from loss from operations in the same period of 2010 of $(1,186,000). In the first three quarters of 2011, the Company invested in hiring product development and business development staff. MacroSolve also invested in financial advisory and investor relations services which were non-cash charges. These staff additions and services support the Company&#8217;s continued quarter-over-quarter growth.</p>
<p>Net loss of $(615,000) for the third quarter of 2011 was $99,000, which was 19% greater than the net loss of $(516,000) for the same period in 2010. Net loss of $(1,845,000) for the first nine months of 2011 was $421,000, which was 30% higher than the net loss of $(1,424,000) for the same period in 2010.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Marijuana Inc. (PINK: HEMP), a company focused on the large peripheral businesses created by the quickly emerging, and growing, multibillion dollar medical cannabis and hemp industries, similar to Medical Marijuana Inc. (PINK: MJNA) and Cannabis Science Inc. (OTC: CBIS), recently published its first book through its Entertainment Division.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>Marijuana, Inc.&#8217;s (PINKSHEETS: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HEMP.PK"><strong>HEMP</strong></a>) Entertainment Division is pleased to announce the first book in a series of historical marijuana publications chronicling marijuana entrepreneurs in the 1970s and 80s. <em>The Golden Gate Smuggling Company</em>, a true story by Brett Douglas, is available through Marijuana, Inc.&#8217;s <a href="http://ctt.marketwire.com/?release=818858&amp;id=967474&amp;type=1&amp;url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.kushclear.com%2f"><strong>www.kushclear.com</strong></a> website, at Amazon.com, or at your local bookstore.</p>
<p>The <em>Golden Gate Smuggling Company</em> is a unique and powerful first person perspective authored by the boat Captain who smuggled &#8220;The Company&#8217;s&#8221; marijuana on a perilous route from Colombia to Northern California. This first book available from Marijuana, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HEMP.PK"><strong>HEMP</strong></a>) unveils the compelling details of marijuana smuggler Bruce Perlowin&#8217;s vast smuggling organization. With a non-violent, low key approach, Perlowin built a marijuana operation that law enforcement described as the largest in West Coast history.</p>
<p>Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Marijuana, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HEMP.PK"><strong>HEMP</strong></a>) stated, &#8220;With the ageing of the original outlaw businessmen in America&#8217;s heyday of pot smuggling, we felt these stories should be told by the people who made it happen, the smugglers themselves. That&#8217;s why this first book is not only entertaining but important in accurately documenting this historic time for future generations who will understand and be entertained by the bravado of these tales.&#8221;</p>
<p>Craig Perlowin, literary chief of the Entertainment Division stated, &#8220;Smuggling was common in the US from the time of the original 13 colonies, when trade goods were commonly smuggled in to avoid the onerous taxes of the British. Rum-running was common during prohibition, followed by the pot smuggling heyday of the 1970s and 80s when hundreds of small and large smuggling enterprises used the sea and air to fulfill the demands of American consumers. Whether you agree with what they did or not, it makes for great reading and it is a part of our history.&#8221;</p>
<p>Marijuana, Inc.&#8217;s entertainment division seeks to bring together aspects of the marijuana lifestyle starting with the historical documentation of America&#8217;s marijuana smuggling history. The company intends to continue to add literature, music, art, webisodes, and films.</p>
<p>The view of marijuana has changed over the years. In the past, marijuana was feared, and it was commonly pointed out in the 1950s that the word assassin was derived from the Arabic hashshashin, or eater of hash. At that time people were afraid to try it because it might make them insane or even lead to murder. Later, harsh prison sentences were commonly handed out for possession of even small amounts of marijuana. Today, we have progressed to the point where medical marijuana is recognized as beneficial and is legal in 16 states and the District of Columbia.</p>

<p>Marijuana, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: <a href="http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=HEMP.PK"><strong>HEMP</strong></a>) is focused on the large peripheral businesses created by the quickly emerging, and growing, multibillion dollar medical marijuana and hemp industries.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>MacroSolve Inc. (OTCQB: MCVE) is a developer of mobile solutions for businesses and governments with an extremely valuable patent. Unlike other app developers like Glu Mobile Inc. (NASDAQ: GLUU), the company is focused on businesses with marquee endorsements. And its enviable patent on mobile apps would make even Acacia Research Corporation (NASDAQ: ACTG) a little jealous. Recently, the company added a veteran COO that will help unlock value by commercializing its products.</em></p>
<p>In a move to further enhance its management team and drive execution in an era of unprecedented demand for the Company, MacroSolve, Inc., (PINKSHEETS: <a href="http://www.marketwire.com/news_room/Stock?ticker=MCVE">MCVE</a>) (OTCQB: <a href="http://www.marketwire.com/news_room/Stock?ticker=MCVE">MCVE</a>) (&#8220;MacroSolve&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a leading provider of mobile technologies, apps and solutions for business, announced today it has appointed Randy Ritter as its Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Ritter is a telecommunications and mobility executive with a track record of increasing revenues and efficiencies at companies including Sprint Nextel and One Communications.</p>
<p>With an eye on the promising future of mobility solutions, MacroSolve is repositioning its management team to optimize its full expert potential. One of the key moves has been repositioning Clint Parr as the Executive Vice President, where he will be in charge of business development. With his adeptness in developing business connections &#8212; such as <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/donald-trump-jr-extends-his-business-expertise-into-mobile-apps-for-businesses-through-agreement-with-mobile-app-leader-macrosolve-2011-10-11?reflink=MW_news_stmp">MacroSolve&#8217;s partnerships with Donald Trump, Jr</a>. and The Richards Group, Parr is in a positive position to captain the Company into the growth of tomorrow.</p>
<p>&#8220;These national partners are key revenue drivers and relationships that Clint has fostered,&#8221; said MacroSolve President and CEO, Steve Signoff. &#8220;In his new position, Clint will focus directly on revenue generation through national distribution partnerships.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We are very pleased that Randy has taken the opportunity to join MacroSolve at this pivotal point. I worked closely with Randy at Sprint, where he led the Product Marketing &amp; Management Organization for the Business to Business marketplace. He was pivotal in driving execution and ramping profitable revenues efficiently through new product development, management and marketing,&#8221; added Signoff. &#8220;We believe we&#8217;ve put in place the team to execute on the enormous opportunity in mobile apps.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>About Randy Ritter</strong></p>

He was also instrumental in leading the company to integrate IP, mobile, and cloud-based business solutions.</p>
