ProElite to Rise Again? Good Read!



When news broke of the UFC purchasing Strikeforce last week, one of the interesting aspects was the mention of ProElite (PELE.PK) as a bidder for Strikeforce. Other than a few minor press releases after the organization had been purchased by Stratus Media Group, the company had been totally silent. However, it now seems apparent that the company had been making moves behind the scenes during this “quiet” period.



When Stratus purchased ProElite in early 2010, the first announced actions taken were the hiring of certain key personnel from “old” Pro elite. These were largely the management from the old company that were responsible for the positive achievements the company had made.



Douglas DeLuca was appointed to the board of directors. His bio on the ProElite.com website highlights his achievements of having “negotiated and closed deals for ProElite with a number of media entities including Showtime Networks, CBS Television, Mark Burnett Productions, IMG, and Fox Sports Net.” He is also cited as having numerous accomplishments in the production of a variety of TV series, specials, and feature films. Mr. DeLuca can be a major asset in ProElite getting new television deals due to his prior experience within the industry



Glenn Golenberg was also added as a board member. His accomplishments include his involvement in “…the financial services industry since 1966 and been involved in transactions that have historically included mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings (IPO’s), financial restructurings, venture capital financings, and leveraged buyouts (LBO’s).” Mr. Golenberg is likely one of the key players for ProElite in negotiating with Strikeforce and other potential acquisitions.



Keith Walner was hired as Senior Counsel/Vice President of Business & Legal Affairs. His experience includes “20 years of experience as an attorney and a business & legal affairs executive within the entertainment industry handling a wide range of matters for live sports and entertainment events, as well as media distribution for major network broadcast television, premium cable, satellite television, and pay-per-view distribution.” Among his duties for the company, “Mr. Walner oversees all company legal matters, including production, distribution, censorship, advertising, and rights clearance. He handles all content acquisition and licensing for all domestic and international events and distribution and manages the organization’s intellectual property rights.” Mr. Walner's expertise would seem to be essential in negotiating the legal aspects of new TV deals and other intellectual properties for the company.



Obviously, these individuals were brought on board for their specific skills and experience. This would seem to indicate that ProElite has some pretty high aspirations for the company.



Paul Feller (CEO of Stratus Media and Chairman of the Board for ProElite) has previously indicated his desire to produce international events. The company still owns rights to the Cage Rage and Spirit MC brands along with the EliteXC brand. Cage Rage produced quality fight cards in Great Britain for many years. Spirit MC had produced numerous event in S. Korea featuring mostly Asian talent. It will be interesting to see if ProElite revives these brands, goes with the old EliteXC brand, or starts a new brand.



ProElite was able to become debt free before the purchase by Stratus and produces revenue thanks to deals made by the old CEO Chuck Champion. When Strikeforce bought some certain assets of ProElite, part of the deal was that ProElite would get payments from Strikeforce for each event produced until as late as 2013. Mr. Champion also made an agreement with Terry Trebilcock to allow King of the Cage to become an independent organization once again. As part of the arrangement, KOTC would make payments to ProElite for a specific period of time.



It is known that CBS/Showtime had been a shareholder in ProElite as part of an arrangement with the old company and there hasn't been any indication that CBS ever sold their shares. Whether CBS has any influence with the new owners remains to be seen.


Stock Investing Simplified
Since recent reports of ProElite attempting to purchase Strikeforce have indicated the company made offers for the purchase of Strikeforce of up to $40 million in value (cash and equity), it appears the company has access to the funding needed to relaunch the once major organization. The negotiations to purchase Strikeforce also explain the silent period after Stratus purchased ProElite since the company would have to be very careful about any information that could be released during that time due to SEC regulations and such.



There seems to be a huge opportunity in the world of Mixed Martial Arts now as the UFC's number one competitor (Strikeforce) is now under their control. At this point in time, there is no clear cut number two organization. If ProElite can relaunch with the kind of funding and expertise they seem to have available, it's possible they could once again become the major competitor to the UFC.



ProElite is based in Los Angeles, California. According to their website, the company's mission statement is: “To empower the MMA community by rebuilding and strengthening ProElite to earn the respect of fighters and fans alike, while ensuring thrilling live events that showcase the world’s leading fighters.”

ProElite to Rise Again? Good Read!

Jim Cramer likes Gold ? ( F, BP, C, KKD, GM, THM ) ?

CEO Jeff Pontius, International Tower Hill Mines (THM)




Will gold's meteoric rise, those who want to buy gold stocks now seem to be late to the party. Cramer thinks with emerging market demand and scarcity value, gold's story is far from over, but it is worth looking for undiscovered gold stocks that may be undervalued. International Tower Hill Mines (TMH) is a future gold mining company located in Canada. MIne construction is expected to start in 2014 and actual production will begin in 2016. While this mine is not large, the company's stock is only $9 and its market cap is $800 million. Once the mine operates, it is expected to generate 600,000 ounces of gold a year.



Jeff Pontius discussed the rigorous approval process for the mine, but he understands that the government wants to ensure that the environment is protected. He sees a significant upside for the company, especially since barriers to entry in the industry are high and finding new gold assets is increasingly difficult. When Cramer asked about partnerships with Chinese companies, Pontius responded that the company has had significant interest in partnerships from China and he will consider an attractive proposal of a partnership.



Cramer warned that this stock is highly speculative but may be a great pick for a devoted gold bull. The stock may be more vulnerable than most to fluctuations in gold price, but its long-term story is solid.



When Will the Government Get Behind Natural Gas?



After urging the government to consider adopting natural gas as a bridge fuel, Cramer was pleased to hear President Obama mention natural gas in his energy speech. However, these remarks are mere lip service if politicians don't aggressively support a bill that would require trucks to run on natural gas. Currently, 25% of all imported oil is burned by trucks, and diesel is one of the dirtiest fuels around. Such a bill would create jobs and reduce dependence on foreign oil. Until politicians in significant numbers support this proposal, Cramer is still skeptical about the future of natural gas in the U.S.



CEO Glenn Tellock, Manitowoc (MTW)



Manitowoc is a company that is aggressively reinventing itself and has seen its stock price soar. This industrial and food service equipment play rose from $13.47 to $17.11 after earnings, a 27% gain after just one day. For the past two months, Manitowoc has been constantly on the new high list and has risen 66% since its earnings report. The story is far from over with crane demand expected to increase substantially in emerging market countries, and as Japan prepares to rebuild.



Glenn Tellock said the main driver of the company's growth is from emerging market countries; there are few building projects in the U.S. While Japan is still in the phase of cleaning up and recovering, Tellock thinks Manitowoc may have a role to play there when the country begins to rebuild. Cramer asked how MTW could see such an increase in profits, since the majority of MTW's profits come from the food service sector and that group has not been performing well. Tellock responded that, rather than open new stores, many restaurant companies want to invest in devices that will speed up service, improve quality and enable them to compete more effectively. In the food service space, MTW is up 5-6% and continues to take market share.



When Cramer asked if MTW should split into two companies, Tellock responded that the two businesses have a synergy that might not be readily apparent, and the company benefits from having both of its segments under one roof. MTW has cleaned up a good portion of its debt, and Tellock said the company will continue doing so as it generates more cash through organic growth.



"I wish it would pull back," said Cramer. "The story is good...Crane demand worldwide is going to be incredible. I worry it has had a good run, but I don't want you to miss it."



PPG Industries (PPG), Cephalon (CEPH), Genzyme (GENZ), Qihoo (QIHU), GSI Commerce (GSIC), Amazon (AMZN), Salesforce.com (CRM), Krispy Kreme Doughnuts (KKD), GM (GM), Ford (F), BP (BP)



A Practical Guide to Make $10K Every Month by 10 Ways! + Plus Bonus

With another good day for stocks, one might wonder if the market is starting to get complacent about bad news. Cramer thinks there is no complacency; the market has its eyes wide open to good news and likes what it sees. It is the bears that are asleep with their relentless, unexamined skepticism.



There were many great stories moving stocks upward. PPG Industries (PPG) pre-announced breathtaking earnings 18% higher than expected. The company proved that raw cost problems can be transcended by keeping other costs down, raising prices and generating higher revenues. Cephalon's (CEPH) hostile takeover bid makes the biotech sector look more attractive, especially on the heels of Genzyme's (GENZ) departure from the S&P 500 because of its own takeover bid. Qihoo's (QIHU) IPO was even bigger than expected, and the stock is up 136% from its initial price. GSI Commerce (GSIC) rose 52% on a takeover bid, and Amazon (AMZN) has been a strong performer.



Cramer took some calls:



Salesforce.com (CRM) should go higher on an acquisition, even as the bears hate the stock



Krispy Kreme Doughnut (KKD) may seem like a magnet for shorts, but Cramer wouldn't try to play a short squeeze. He thinks GM (GM) will have a terrific turnaround, Ford (F) has been in the doghouse too long, and American automakers are a better investment than doughnuts.



BP (BP) is a battleground stock. "I have enough problems with the real world. I think BP is just too darn hard. What do I need with the headache that is BP?"

What is The Future of Berkshire Hathaway?

Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.B) executive David Sokol quit the conglomerate. There were questions about his trading of shares in Lubrizol before Warren Buffett, Berkshire’s chief, decided to buy the firm. Conveniently, both men said that Sokol had tried to resign before and miraculously Buffett had decided to move toward retirement again recently.



A great deal has been made of the fact that Sokol might take over as head of Berkshire one day. He was one of a list of “Buffett replacements” that the press identifies from time to time.



Investment manager Todd Combs joined Berkshire last year and become a new candidate to run the company, at least in the eyes of the press. China investor Li Lu has been tagged as a candidate. And, Berkshire has a number of large operating companies with stellar CEOs. The head of Burlington Northern, Matthew K. Rose, a railroad Berkshire bought recently, is also described as being worthy of consideration.



Berkshire’s board also has at least one member who could become CEO–Steve Burke, the COO of Comcast and head of the NBCU unit the cable company controls.



Buffett has revealed very little about who might replace him or whether the new management might be a group–a sort of Office of the CEO.



The most important aspect of any debate over who might take Buffett’s job is that Berkshire is a very different company than it was three years ago. It owns more operating companies. Buffett’s prowess as an investor has become less important to the company’s fortunes, and no one could be expected to duplicate his investments returns which date back to the 1960s.



There are more people to replace Buffett than most observers of Berkshire will admit. And, the old man could live another 20 years.

Buy ( SIRI ) Sirius/XM now ?

Sirius at a Glance




The firm’s primary source of revenue is the subscription fees it charges customers for annual, semi-annual, quarterly or monthly subscriptions. In addition the company derives revenue from activation and other fees, the sale of advertising on select non-music channels, the direct sale of satellite radios and accessories as well as other ancillary services such as weather, traffic, data and “Backseat TV” channels.



We recently launched our coverage of Sirius with stock price estimate of $1.97.



For our analysis, we segmented Sirius XM’s business into three divisions:



1) Satellite Radio Subscription



2) Advertising



3) Equipment and Other Revenues



Sirius’ Radio Niche



The satellite radio industry is slowly growing in the U.S. amid competition from the digital audio industry (iPod, Pandora etc). Sirius’s satellite radio not only offers a commercial free music experience to listeners, but it also provides updates on local weather and traffic.



Sirius relies heavily on the automobile market to promote its services. Therefore the past two years have been difficult for Sirius as auto sales declined. However as the automobile industry recovers from the recession, Sirius is expected to do well. Sirius currently has a 60% penetration rate in the new automobile market and of those who purchase automobiles about 46% continue to use Sirius radio services after the trial period expires. In the future we expect Sirius to further expand its reach and also target the used-car market.



2011 Developments



2011 is an important year for Sirius as its three-year freeze on subscription pricing imposed by Federal Communications Commission will expire. Thus Sirius could potentially change its subscription fees. Also the Copyright Royalty Board is expected to provide new guidelines for the royalties that Sirius has to pay to content providers. Currently, Sirius will have to pay 7.5% and 8.0% royalties in 2011 and 2012. If the Copyright Royalty Board changes the rates, Sirius might have to change its subscription pricing as well.

SEATTLE — Jones Soda Co. narrowed its loss in fiscal 2010 to $6,106,000 from $10,547,000 in fiscal 2009. The improved results reflected headway made in the company’s turnaround strategy, particularly during the fourth quarter, when Jones Soda’s loss was $1,842,000, which compared with a loss of $4,497,000 in the same period a year earlier.




Net sales in the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2010, totaled $17,526,000, down 33% from $26,013,000 in fiscal 2009. During the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, 2010, net sales were $3,143,000, which compared with $4,304,000 in the same period a year ago.



“During the fourth quarter we continued to witness the positive effects of our turnaround strategy,” said William Meissner, president and chief executive officer. “With a greater emphasis on our core glass bottle business, our year-over-year gross profit as a percentage of revenue in the fourth quarter improved and our expenses continued to decline due to our cost control measures executed over the past year.”



Moving forward, Mr. Meissner said Jones Soda is committed to profitably expanding its glass bottles and reinvigorating demand for its recently re-launched WhoopAss Energy Drink.



“We believe that the turnaround strategy that we are executing has positioned us to now start strategically expanding our market share,” he saidJones Soda Candy Sampler

That's my long way of saying, or saying again, that JSDA is a speculative buy here. I have to say speculative because there are no actual profits in the recent past or the foreseeable future. Yet, I have to respect the fact that Jones Soda Co. shares are trading as if the company was very much on a profit track. Perhaps the market sees positive earnings further down the road. Buy on the dips ! 2012 will be big profits !!
 




 

Why did Berkshire Hathaway Buy Lubrizol for $9 Billion

Berkshire Hathaway announced on Monday that it would buy Lubrizol for $9 billion in cash – making it one of Warren Buffett’s largest deals ever.




Berkshire is paying $135 a share for the Indiana specialty chemical maker. The price represents a 28 percent premium to Lubrizol’s closing price on Friday.



“This transaction provides compelling value to our shareholders and is a clear endorsement of the growth and diversification success Lubrizol has achieved,” James Hambrick, chief executive officer, in a statement. “We are very excited to have the opportunity to become part of the Berkshire Hathaway family.”



The Oracle of Omaha, in his latest investment letter, indicated that he was on the hunt for major acquisitions. “We’re prepared,” he wrote. “Our elephant gun has been reloaded, and my trigger finger is itchy.”



And Lubrizol fits much of Mr. Buffett’s deal-making criteria. It’s a large company, with earnings of $732 million in 2010. Those earnings are relatively consistent, too. The product is to easy to understand: Lubrizol makes goods global transportation, industrial and consumer markets like fuel additives for gasoline and diesel. The management team has been in place for awhile, too – another core tenet of the billionaire investor’s strategy. Mr. Hambrick joined the company in the 1970s while still in school, and was named CEO in 2004.



“Lubrizol is exactly the sort of company with which we love to partner – the global leader in several market applications run by a talented CEO, James Hambrick,” Mr. Buffett said in a statement. “Our only instruction to James – just keep doing for us what you have done so successfully for your shareholders.”



That Mr. Buffett is using cash to buy Lubrizol may indicate he thinks Berkshire is undervalued. In a prior annual letter, he lamented the use of stock in the purchase of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, saying he enjoyed issuing shares as much as “prepping for a colonoscopy.”



“The reason for our distaste is simple. If we wouldn’t dream of selling Berkshire in its entirety at the current market price, why in the world should we ’sell’ a significant part of the company at that same inadequate price by issuing our stock in a merger?” Mr. Buffett wrote. “If an acquirer’s stock is overvalued, it’s a different story: using it as a currency works to the acquirer’s advantage.”



At a recent price of $128,000, shares of Berkshire are still way off their 2008 peak of $147,000.

Top March Stocks to Buy in 2011

Coca-Cola (KO, news) is gaining attention as an undervalued blue chip that's ideally positioned to help many investors get where they want to go as the bull market enters its third year.


Jim Cramer's Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich

As with other mega-cap stocks, Coca-Cola shares are cheaper than their average price over the last decade -- investors are paying 13 times per-share earnings over the past 12 months, a discount from Coca-Cola's 10-year average P/E ratio of 25.
Mad Money: Back to Basics


The Dow component is a reliable source of dividends -- it has raised its payout for 49 consecutive years. The most recent increase was in February, when directors approved a 6.8% increase to 47 cents a share.

Invest in Coca-Cola or PepsiCo?

.

Dividends are a big reason Warren Buffett is so bullish on Coca-Cola. His investment vehicle, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B, news), is Coca-Cola's largest shareholder, with 8.6% of the company's stock. Berkshire last purchased Coca-Cola shares in 1995.



•What's ahead for the stock market
Mad Money Bull Keychain
Investors sat up and took notice this year when Buffett, in his much-anticipated annual letter to Berkshire shareholders, said he expects Coca-Cola dividends to double within a decade. If Buffett's right, the Atlanta company's dividend yield could jump to above 5.5% in 10 years, from 2.8% today.





Coca-Cola chief on growth plans

"By the end of that period, I wouldn't be surprised to see our share of Coke's annual earnings exceed 100% of what we paid for the investment," Buffett wrote in the Feb. 26 letter. "Time is the friend of the wonderful business."



Coca-Cola appears on a daily ranking created using StockScouter, an MSN Money tool that identifies stocks with strong growth prospects in the near term. All stocks with Scouter ratings of 8, 9 or 10 are considered for the list, which is then shortened to exclude stocks with a trading volume below 50,000 shares a day. The remaining stocks are ranked on the basis of market capitalization, sector membership and whether they are growth or value stocks.

With operations in more than 200 countries, Coca-Cola is the world's biggest soft-drink company. It owns four of the top five soft-drink brands (Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Fanta, and Sprite). Other brands include Minute Maid juices, Dasani water and Honest Tea.


Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer Back To Basics II: Invest Like A Pro
Global sales rose in the fourth quarter despite a soft economy, the company said, with emerging markets like Brazil and India providing the fastest growth. It's also making a big push into Africa, where Coke is the dominant brand and a middle class is just emerging.



Coca-Cola also took market share from rival PepsiCo (PEP, news) in North America in the fourth quarter. Wall Street has been more bullish on Coca-Cola than on Pepsi in recent quarters because of Coca-Cola's strong global brands and its absence of snack foods, which tend to have lower profit margins and are more susceptible to rising commodity prices.







.

Of 15 analysts covering the company, 11 rate Coca-Cola a "strong buy," three rate it a "moderate buy" and one has a "hold" rating.



The stock has a StockScouter rating of 9, meaning it is expected to significantly outperform the market over the next six months with very low risk by MSN.com/money

Why i'm buying Helix Wind Corp (Public, PINK:HLXW) top penny stock to buy in 2011

Why i'm buying Helix Wind Corp (Public, PINK:HLXW) top penny stock to buy in 2011


All Power America Complete Wind Turbine Package - 3500 Rated Watts, Model# APWT-3500H
Ken Morgan, the founder of Helix Wind introduces the Helix Wind Turbine, a grid tie or off grid power system


Efficiency is only part of the equation. Capacity factor is the other important part. Most HAWTs are inherently more efficient than VAWTs, but when it comes to utilizing the available wind resource over the course of a year to generate electricity, they end up producing less b/c they have many operating limitations. The ONLY metric that really matters is $/kWhr generated. On that variable, for target applications for this technology, Helix is highly competitive.

This is indeed the minimum speed required for it to start turning, however that's not the same as to produce power. Most small wind manufacturers will issue confusing statistics which can be misleading to customers. Cut in speed does not equal starting production speed. You really need about 7m/s average annual wind speed for ANY small wind turbine to generate significant output,
more output in wind tunnel tests, not in the real world where the wind changes direction, and if you consider the additional swept area created by the duct as part of the turbine, then you're really not seeing an efficiency improvement, only a swept area increase. Second, the key challenge with the Savonious is to make it durable, efficient, reliable and cost effective. That's where all the development $ has gone.

Helix Wind, Corp. (Helix Wind), formerly Clearview Acquisitions, Inc., is engaged in the alternative energy business offering a distributed power technology platform designed to produce electric energy from the wind. The Company’s subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the research and development of its products. The Company utilizes two distribution channels to market and sell its products: direct sales to end users and installers and indirect or channel sales with resellers domestically and internationally. The Company provides energy independence utilizing wind for residential, commercial and vertical market applications. The Company’s turbines offer a pollution free alternative to conventional energy sources. The Company offers wind turbines in two sizes for electricity production. The S322 is rated at two kilowatts of power output while the S594 is rated at four kilowatts of power output.

Mr. Claudio is an experienced financial executive, with extensive knowledge in Accounting/Financial management, as well as business development and operations. He has been Chief Financial Officer of Helix Wind since December 1, 2008. For two years beginning in 2006, Mr. Claudio was the CFO of Remote Surveillance Technologies, a full service electronic security company with remote video monitoring. He managed and successfully executed a reverse merger transaction and completed the initial capital raise. From 2004 through 2005, his financial experience includes the role of CFO for cVideo, a spin off of Cubic Corporation that developed software-based integrated digital video applications and surveillance and loss prevention systems solutions for commercial and security applications. Mr. Claudio was previously the Vice President & CFO of a Titan subsidiary from 1999-2003, which successfully completed an Initial Public Offering (IPO) in 2001 with a NASDAQ listing. He played a key role, along with the CEO, in all phases of the IPO process. In addition, for almost 10 years, Mr. Claudio was employed by General Dynamics Corporation. His latest position with General Dynamics Corporation was as the Controller of the Convair Division which had revenues of approximately $500 million.

Mr. Claudio graduated from Fairmont State College in Fairmont, West Virginia with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and is a Certified Public Accountant (California-inactive).
Corporate Governance
Inexpensive, reliable, simple, the hallmarks of the Helix system make it the best choice for low wind speed residential and commercial applications. The Savonius turbine based design catches wind from all directions creating smooth powerful torque to spin the electric generator. Mounted up to 35 feet high, in winds as low as 10 mph the Helix system creates electricity to power your home or business.


Sunforce 44444 12-Volt 400-Watt Wind Generator

How it works: As the wind blows the long helical blade scoops catch wind from all directions forcing it through the turbine. The turbine generator is connected directly to your home and as electricity is generated your home is powered. If the wind isn’t blowing your home is powered by the energy grid as usual. If the wind is blowing strongly then your energy produced can exceed your energy consumed and, depending on your local utility, your meter can spin backwards rolling back your energy bill
About Small Wind


Small wind energy systems are one of the fastest growing forms of customer-sited or “distributed” electric generation and one of the best energy investments for small businesses and homeowners.



Small (or “residential”) wind energy systems typically generate just enough power to meet the demands of a home, farm or small business. They range from 400 watts to 500 kilowatts or more and typically consist of a single turbine (vertical or horizontal). They can be significant power sources and have proven records of performance, even in locations with modest winds.



The success of the commercial wind industry has propelled significant advances in small turbine design, making these systems more reliable, quieter and safer than those introduced in past decades. And though most of the electricity they produce is used on-site, excess generation can be fed into distribution lines, strengthening the electric grid
