As our subscribers know, timing is absolutely critical when buying stocks. The stocks you buy are not as important as WHEN you buy.
This is the straightforward philosophy that drives Clubpennystocks in our search for the most promising and overlooked micro caps on the market today. Netflix, (NFLX) started as a small microcap firm before it returned huge for investors. The company has some big issues ahead with the introduction of streaming video and big competition from the likes of Amazon (AMZN), and Wal-Mart (WMT) and that's why we believe this stock will probably go lower in the future even after its recent drop.
The volatility in the markets right now is huge and traders are capitalising on the big swings. - www.clubpennystocks.com. Find out why thousands will sign up today!!
Apple (AAPL) was undervalued many years ago, now it's the biggest company in the world and about to launch the new iphone 5.
Our team believes in the success of our subscribers! www.clubpennystock.com.
Now heads are turning towards the launch of the ipad 3 which apparently is a mini version!! The news of Steve Jobs death a couple days after the iphone 4s was released was obviously expected.

Never has an electronics, tech firm been so cool...yet at the same time the largest company in the world by market cap. Wait till they start buying these products in China where currently Nokia (NOKBF) is the number 1 player.

High Plains Gas Announces Debt Conversion by Members of Its Board of Directors

Business Wire
GILLETTE, Wyo. -- November 04, 2011
High Plains Gas, Inc. (OTC:HPGS) announced Mark Hettinger and Joe Hettinger, both of whom are company founders and directors, have converted debt owed to them by High Plains Gas, Inc. into shares of common stock. The transactions are expected to save the company approximately $500,000 per year in interest payments and reduce its outstanding debt by nearly $6 million.
Brandon Hargett, CEO of High Plains Gas, commented, “As CEO, I understand what great sacrifices the Hettingers have made in bringing our company from a 92-well methane producer to a public entity with over 1,600 wells and a sizeable and rapidly growing construction subsidiary. Their continued commitment to seeing this company succeed, grow, and prosper is demonstrated by this conversion. It is a pleasure to work with a Board of Directors that demonstrates this level of belief in what we are building.”
Mark Hettinger stated, “Our CEO Brandon Hargett has displayed great leadership in our organization during the past few months. Combined with all our employees' efforts and the strong commitment of our Board of Directors, I am excited about the opportunities that exist with High Plains. Presently, our company is comprised of a large coal bed methane asset that has generated approximately $16 million in revenue over the past 12 months. HPG Services, our construction services subsidiary, is currently experiencing rapid growth due to the Bakken and Niobrara shale plays. With my experience building a construction services company with revenues exceeding $200 million annually, I know what is required to be successful in this industry. Combined with the recent acquisition of BGM Buildings and, before long, the expected closing of Miller Fabrication, we will have a consolidated company with a growing footprint in the energy industry,” concluded Hettinger.

The Company recently acquired the former Marathon “North & South Fairway” assets. These assets consist of 1671 Coal Bed Methane Wells with associated flow lines and over 155,000 net acres. This combined with the company’s existing 92 natural gas wells gives the company a strong foundation in the natural gas industry. High Plains Gas will pursue expansion opportunities for the profitable production and transmission of natural gas. High Plains Gas believes it has unique expertise and experience in the refurbishment and reactivation of wells that produce natural gas from coal bed methane formations that helps position it strategically in the Powder River Basin.
