To a stock picker each year presents its own unique challenges.
Last year we were mired in a down market, Nasdaq had just
experienced the worst December ever and consumer confidence
was down near a seven year low. I remember saying then that it
was not the best time to be a stock picker. I was dead wrong.
Pennyheaven Super 7 (2003), as an index, finished the year
up 135%. Interestingly, the YTD high came on the last day of
trading (12/31/03).

This year, Nasdaq is up 50%, the NYSE composite is up 30%
and the Dow had its biggest yearly gain since 1996. Many
companies on the OTCBB have already seen their stock prices
climb 300, 400, 500% and more. That is this year's challenge.
We are no longer buying at the bottom.

Pennyheaven Super 7 (2004)
The #1 criterion this year is growth: sales, revenue, cash or
earnings had to be increasing; #2) No more than 50 million s/o;
#3) No convertible debentures or bridge loans (as far as I can tell);
#4) Under a buck; #5) OTCBB only.

Disclaimer: Yours truly reserves the right to trade in and out
of the these stocks at will. I have not been compensated by
any individual or company. I play with real money just like you.
Also, please be advised that past performance does not in any
way guarantee future performance.
