I
want to thank
each and every person that responded to our last newsletter and I
tried to to do just that personally. If I missed you, please know
that your words meant a lot. The response was overwhelming. A
lot of what we do here is dry, and that's the nature of the beast;
but I have always thought of our readers as more of a community
than just a number to sell an advertiser. It might surprise you to
know, that we go to great lengths to bring quality companies to your
attention, turning down many that don't fit the bill. Most of the
companies we profile, we have no position in, nor are we being
paid, our thought is, if we give you winners you'll stick around
and I think we have done a good job with that since our inception.
Our current focus stocks are up between 26% and 65%, not bad
in the current environment. Now
for some really GREAT news, henceforth, select articles we
submit will appear on the Front Page of Yahoo Finance (Canada for
now). This is great exposure not only through the over one million
unique visitors to Yahoo Finance monthly but also through thousand
of secondary sites, both large and small via RSS Feeds. We
are also introducing two new small-cap stocks below that we feel
will outperform the market.
Our
last focus Stock Cyberonics (Nasdaq: CYBX) is up 45% since our
introduction, continuing our long trend of winners. Today we are
introducing Horsehead Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: ZINC) a
play on the current low price of zinc which we feel will rebound. KVH
Industries (Nasdaq: KVHI) is a profitable company with little
debt that develops, manufactures, and markets mobile
communications products.

Always, for the latest news on our focus stocks and the small-cap market

zinc-bearing feed materials.

paints, lubricating oils, and pharmaceuticals. In addition, the company
recycles EAF dust, a hazardous waste generated by steel mini-mills
operators. Further, it offers special zinc powders, which are used in
general chemical and metallurgical applications, and in friction
applications, such as, brake linings for automobiles; battery grade zinc
powders that are used in alkaline, mercuric oxide, silver oxide, and
zinc-air batteries; and copper-based powders, including brass, bronze, and
nickel-silver powders, which are used in various applications comprising
