SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. Dec. 10, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Trader Power stock research reports that OTCBB public companies ABTG, LPLHA, PJTG, and GDVI are leading examples of the power of investor relations promotional campaigns on the OTCBB.
Of the Top 50 Volume Leaders on the OTCBB for October 2003, 78% of them (39 companies) were the focus of coverage by online investment newsletters and stock promotion firms.
Of those OTCBB companies trading in the price range $0.10 to $0.50 in October and November 2003, twenty three companies represented by 15 individual promotional firms saw trading volumes increase by at least 125% compared to their 50 day moving average. Actual trading volume increases ranged from gains of 129% to as high as 9,222%.
LPLHA scored the highest % change in trading volume for the period. ABTG scored the highest absolute average daily volume. PJTG scored the best combined volume and price growth for the last 2 weeks, and GDVI scored the best overall sustained % volume and value increase for the period, moving from a trading range of 2 to 3 cents in early October to 14 cents yesterday morning on sustained volumes.
Chris Lewis, President of Trader Power, commented, "The present lack of traditional research coverage for Small Cap businesses is forcing those companies to become more aggressive in their investor communications programs. This snapshot of present market conditions shows that there is a direct correlation between companies who are actively promoting themselves in investment newsletters, and their trading activity levels."
