EAG: First To Lead Industry With Interactive IPTV Workshop
Notching its place at the forefront of the IPTV market and also establishing itself as a thought leader, Eagle Broadband (AMEX: EAG) annouced today that COO Brian Morrow will speak and lead an IPTV workshop at the 2nd Annual Global IPTV Deployment Strategies Forum at the Westin Colonnade Coral Gables in Miami, Florida. With corporate management essentially "running the show" in part, this should be a prime opportunity for EAG to attract some attention and some needed business. Labels: EAG, Eagle Broadband
UDHI: 51 New Locations and 118 New Provider in < 1 week
 We told you they were one to watch. Union Dental Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: UDHI) continues expand, signing on 51 new locations and 118 new providers in less than 7 days across Florida and Texas. Commenting on UDHI's recent Arizona business and the company's mission for 2007, CEO Dr. George further stated: "This is very beneficial to all our participating Unions. Where one Union's membership is scarce in an area Union Dental can combine several labor organizations to make it a worthwhile investment in marketing dollars for a dental office to join our network. After the completion of building the AFA network in late 2007 Union Dental hopes to sign additional national labor organizations and offer participation to our existing offices. This should provide additional revenues to Union Dental as well as adding more offices to handle the patient load requirements. We look forward to a turn around year for Union Dental as we announce new networks repeatedly in new areas of the United States over the course of 2007."
In our opinion, if UDHI is able to keep up the pace, 2007 could be a banner year. At a price of less than a nickel, UDHI should be relatively attractive for the speculative portion of your small cap portfolio.

CPWB's Gekko Boats 1/2 Selected by AWSA & ABC
Challenger Powerboat Inc. (OTCBB: CPWB) continues to make rapid progress towards its goal of bringing best of breed products to market in all boating categories served. Announcing today that its Gekko GTR 22 tow boat was one of only two boats approved for tournament use by both the American Water Skiing Association (AWSA) and by American Barefooting Club (ABC), it appears CPWB did their homework before acquiring Gekko not too long ago. In our opinion, this most recent achievement is great for a number of reasons (1) it builds instant credibility for the Gekko brand and will also increase brand awareness since its GTR 22 tow boat is only one of two approved for use by two highly esteemed associations; (2) it should likely lead to increased sales for CPWB as water skiing enthusiasts consider purchasing Gekko boats; and (3) this deal could work wonders for apparel sales down.

Stocks To Watch (pt. 2)
Execute Sports Inc. (OTCBB: EXCS) is showing improvement coming out of its recent corporate reorg. Announcing this morning that not only were December '06 sales up more than 700% over December of 2005, but that the company has repeatedly received 100% on-time performance marks from its Internet sales partners, EXCS seems to have turned things around in a major way. Up nearly 18% this morning on heavy volume approaching the 5mil mark, we suggest taking a look soon before today's breakout continues. Now 100% Dedicated to Maximizing Shareholder Value,we feel that Execute Sports Inc. is extremely well positioned to deeply penetrate the Personal Watercraft ‘PWC’ (market size of >$1 billion and approx 20 million active users) and Recreational Boating ($23.7 billion in 2005 – global, 71.3 million U.S. participants) industries.

Stocks To Watch (pt. 1)
 Referred to by many as the future of television, Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is expected to explode over the next few years, both in terms of adoption rates and revenues. Analysts are envisioning a market that will house 50 million subscribers by ’09 and be worth nearly $40 billion by ’10. While many tier-one industry players employ a wait-and-see approach, Eagle Broadband Inc. (AMEX: EAG) is making moves today. One of the few companies with Hollywood studio and major entertainment channel content distribution rights, and to our knowledge, the only widely deployed IP high definition set-top box in the hospitality industry, EAG is poised to become a market leader. While many in the IPTV space have grand visions for the future, Eagle Broadband, Inc. is pursuing customers today and is one of very few that have brought an effective solution to market at this point in time. Exemplifying this fact and proving to investors that management is dead serious about building an IPTV giant, EAG announced today that it has entered into a multi-year agreement with FrontGate Broadband, a multi-service broadband provider, to deliver IPTV services to condominium and master planned properties in Florida. Although Eagle management has not yet and likely will not provide guidance on the financial implications of this deal, we do know that, according to the company, FrontGate has a dedicated customer base of what it claims to be thousands of customers. In our opinion, a deal with a fast-growing (main focus is on fastest growing, multi-unit populations of FL.) and well established communications solution provider such as the one announced today will do nothing but positively impact EAG’s growth going forward. In a testament to the capabilities of EAG’s IPTV business, David Suarez, president of FrontGate MediaCom (and former CEO of All Access Technologies) stated, “Eagle’s IPTV content-delivery capabilities are unmatched in the industry,” “With the ability to deliver over 250 channels of in-demand, high-definition programming, we can truly provide complete luxury service bundles to our high-end clients. Furthermore, since FrontGate Broadband already has numerous properties that are expected to be under contract in the near future, we expect to have active subscribers shortly.” For those of you not up to speed on the basis of EAG’s IPTV business, here’s a quick rundown: The company’s solutions enable broadband cable providers, hospitality organizations, and builders within the fast growing MDU (Multiple Dwelling Unit) marketplace to provide more than 200 channels of premium viewing and also reap the benefits of sales associated with Pay-TV, high-definition (HD), personal-video- recording (PVR), video-on-demand (VOD) and subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) related purchases. In a nutshell, EAG equips client companies like FrontGate Broadband with the content that they need to maximize revenues. Still not convinced that the IPTV revolution is upon us, well it appears that Ericsson is. The company has offered up $1.4 billion in a bid to amplify its IPTV offering by acquiring Tandberg Television. Furthermore, a simple search on Google news will yield more coverage of the IPTV market than you will likely be able to stomach. The market surely has not come anywhere close to hitting its $40 billion target, but interest is indeed at an all time high and IPTV-related business deals are being closed at seemingly light speed. Recent discussions with Eagle Broadband executives have us extremely optimistic of what the next 6-12 months has to hold for the company’s IPTV business. This may be one of EAG’s first big IPTV-related contracts, but we have a feeling it won’t be the last. Need a little refresher on Eagle Broadband Inc. (AMEX: EAG)?

Another Day, Another Deal
Challenger Powerboats Inc. (OTCBB: CPWB) Announces Another 5 Contracts With DistributorsMore dollars, more distribution channels, that's the story at Challenger Powerboats Inc. (OTCBB: CPWB) these days. The situation gets more and more appealing as we go. Since its well-documented restructuring just a few short months ago, CPWB has built the brand recognition, dealer network, order log, and boating offering that many long-time market players have yet to establish. Challenger Gaining Territory News earlier this week highlighted recent corporate growth, and stated that Challenger has signed on five new dealers located in the West Coast, Midwest, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. These agreements should soon bear fruit in a big way since these dealers will only sell CPWB's high-end, 'go fast' offshore racing series and family performance series lines. This agreement, noted by CPWB as a direct result of the exhibitions at the Ft. Lauderdale, Los Angeles and Miami Boat Show, is one that would simply not have existed a few months back when Challenger had NO sales/marketing strategy in place. What a Difference a Few Months Can MakeAfter taking a gander at Challenger's most recent news it occurred to me that CPWB's new contract for approximately $330,000 exceeds the company's prior two quarters of revenues COMBINED! While the company brought in $0 and $70,000 worth of revenues for the 3-month periods ending 9/30/06 & 6/30/06 respectively, Challenger's recent agreement dwarves recent sales by moving only 3 units, two of Challenger's go fast DDC-33s and one Family Performance Series (FPS). As mentioned in prior editions, recent profiling in industry periodicals has established Challenger's boats as a legitimate industry competitor that goes head-to-head with leaders such as Fountain Powerboat and Brunswick Corporation. Commenting on the profiles, CEO Laurie Philips stated "Clearly the recent profiles of our performance results in Powerboat and Hot Boat magazines are beginning to have a quantifiable impact on sales. We believe that the value proposition offered by our Challenger high performance go fast DDC and FPS series is second to none in terms of quality, performance and pricing, and look forward to widening the distribution of these product lines" Big Toys for Big MoneyAlthough a number of boating industry experts are optimistic at best that overall boating industry sales will remain flat in '07, here is some food for thought: #1 the industry remained flat or grew in '05 and '06, depending on what segment of the boating market you are interested in. The market also exhibited strict resistance to unfavorable market conditions brought on by rising inflation rates, high oil prices and unforeseeable natural disasters which crippled key regions vital to boating industry growth. #2 the U.S. population of High Net-Worth Individuals, one of CPWB's most vital demographics, continues to gain steam. Exemplifying this point, the 10th Anniversary Edition of the World Wealth Report ("The Report"), released in June by Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER) and Capgemini reveals that the number of HNWIs grew by 6.5 percent over 2004, to 8.7 million, and that the number of Ultra-HNWIs, those who have financial assets of more than U.S. $30 million grew by 10.2 percent, to 85,400 in 2005. As boating season approaches, it is worthwhile to spend a half hour looking into Challenger Powerboats Inc. (OTCBB: CPWB), priced at $.11. This is in direct competition with stocks in the $3.00 to $40.00 range. The reward is worth the effort.

Nighthawk Electric Rockstar
 Highlighting the company's new found Rock Star status in the Utility sector, Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) announced today that internal sales of related products (largely its CEO700 units) more than doubled in 2006 compared to 2005. Even more impressively, management also noted that in addition to superb 2006 revenues from utility sales which were up 120% over '05, Nighthawk's growth trend has continued thus far in '07, both in terms of utility and overall sales. 10 New Contracts This is no surprise since NIHK has inked (to public knowledge) nearly 10 new contracts with an ideal mix of first-time and recurring customers since January 1st, not to mention a blockbuster deal in December with Verizon Wireless.Since we first profiled NIHK back in February of 2006, we stated that in order for Nighthawk to achieve greatness, it was imperative that the company take any steps necessary to establish a well-known, nationwide brand throughout the utility industry. Once Nighthawk got a foot in the door, business was sure to follow. This is largely due to NIHK's ability to present an exceptionally unique and impressive ROI case.  For those of you unsure of what the Return on Investment (ROI) case is here, let's talk a little about how Nighthawk adds value to client processes in the utility industry. Although the study referenced below is a few years old, costs to NIHK utility customers have done nothing but increase with the recent surge in fuel prices around the country, adding further value to NIHK's offering. A 2004 survey of 118 utilities conducted by utility industry research firm Chartwell Inc. found that more than 55% of electric utilities use, plan-to-use, or are considering using technologies that allow for the remote connect/disconnect of energy meters such as those offered by NIHK. Additional findings from the report estimate that approximately 2.3% of the United States' electric meters were individually disconnected and reconnected on more than 4 occasions resulting in estimated costs of nearly $1.2 billion dollars for utility providers. Due to its expertise and experience in deploying wireless remote control solutions, Nighthawk has been hitting the pavement to expose the market on its ability to cut costs for years. Now NIHK is reaping the rewards of its hard work. In many cases, a utility provider will make up to three visits to a delinquent paying customer. The utility provider will typically send field personnel once, to warn the customer of upcoming disconnection, a second time to disconnect power, and a third to reconnect power once payment is made. Costs associated with this process range from $20 to $100 per visit depending on a number of factors such as customer location and number of utility personnel deployed to execute a particular task. Often times, more than one service technician must be deployed at one time due to concerns for the employee's well-being. Nighthawk products are ideal for this application due to their ability to allow for the remote connect/disconnect of energy for delinquent accounts not to mention seasonal residences (which may require multiple visits each year) and customers in remote rural locations. ROI for this application is pretty straightforward. Simply multiply the total number of off- cycle trips taken each year to execute related tasks by the average cost of each visit.  Word of mouth isn't just a catchy phrase, at least not at NIHK. Accompanying Nighthawk's recent string of repeat business, news this week drives home the fact that NIHK is thriving in the Utility business. The company first hit the press with news of an initial order for its famed CEO700 units from Cheyenne Light, Fuel & Power Company. The new customer is a subsidiary of Black Hills Corporation (NYSE: BKH) , which services approximately 80,000 residents in more than 1,200 square miles of certificated territory in southeast Wyoming. BKH, in addition to having a nearly $38 stock, has a vast network of utility connections outside of Wyoming (South Dakota, Montana, Western Canada, Rocky Mountain, and Western Regions of the U.S.). Successful implementations with Cheyenne could make NIHK's CEO700 and next-generation products staples in all of its parent company's territories. Nighthawk has also attracted first time business from United Power of Brighton, Colorado, a rural cooperative providing electric service to over 60,000 meters representing more than 120,000 customers across Colorado's northern Front Range. With Q1 orders flying in at record speed, management stating that '06 revenues will outpace 2005 by 70%, a unique and high-demand product and Verizon Wireless (NYSE: VZ) as a key partner; Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) is a low-cost/highpotential reward venture – especially at under $.07. Do yourself a favor and add a little NIHK to the portfolio. You’ll thank us later. If we haven't given enough good reasons, a brief jaunt through recent press releases and recent Q's should do the trick . While NIHK may not be performing like a $38 stock such as VZ, a substantial ownership position of Nighthawk is obtainable with a fairly insignificant capital investment. Verizon started here and substantial owners have profited the most.

On Track With Union Dental
 Did you know that Kenny G is a great golf player? And these days has more time to golf than ever, not because his muzak can be heard across the globe, but because he was one of the 10 original shareholders of Starbucks! Who would have guess that coffee, a long time staple across the world would take on new flavors and fancy names and become a hot item in the business world, not just commodities. Kenny G spotted an opportunity by looking closely at what society was putting higher on its priority list. Say Cheese! Teeth for instance. I know. It sounds pretty silly but think about it. Look at the emphasis our culture puts on a healthy smile. Braces, once feared by teenagers everywhere has become a typical rite of passage. Teeth whitening products may be costly, but just ask the consumer boasting a beaming set of teeth if it was worth it. Of course! Priorities! A Household Necessity! Viewed as a symbol of wellness in our society, a nice pair of pearly whites has been credited for closing many a deal. Unfortunately, for a growing number of Americans, it is becoming simply too expensive to maintain dental health (Americans spend > $70 billion per year on dental procedures). Giving credence to this statement, a bit of digging uncovers that dental costs have skyrocketed up more than 50% over the past 10-12 years.
Dental insurance is becoming a household necessity. However, options are extremely limited for many, including the elderly (Medicare has no dental coverage), the disabled (Medicaid is reducing coverage in some states) and those working for small businesses. However, there is hope for America's 15.4 million union workers. This has investment opportunity written all over it. Lucky for you, we have already done some scouting and have found a solid smallcap company that will make a strong and profitable addition to your portfolio.
Our newest portfolio company, Union Dental Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: UDHI) has been dedicated to making dental coverage more affordable for U.S. union members for more than two decades and continues to expand its network. Its the Big Unions! Initially focusing on bringing a cost effective dental program to the Communications Workers of America ("CWA"), which consisted largely of workers from AT&T, Bell South, and Lucent Technologies, UDHI has since amassed a network of nearly 1,600 practitioners spanning more than 15 states. By utilizing the existing insurance of the union client and fostering partnerships with dental groups in key geographic locations, UDHI is able to drastically reduce out of pocket expenses for the client while matching them with an optimal provider. Obviously this plan can't work without signing on some major unions with some significant member populations. Not a problem for UDHI. The company is already working in conjunction with a number of massive outfits including, the:- Communications Workers of America (CWA) - (700,000 members)- International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) – (750,000 members)- United Association of Plumbers and Pipe Fitters (UA) – (300,000 members)- Association of Flight Attendants - Communications Workers of America (AFA-CWA) – (55,000 members). Take into consideration that unions are growing at their fastest now than in the past 20 years and you can see where we are going here. Monetizing the Situation:
 Announcing recently that 2006 revenues are expected to be in the ballpark of $2.2 million (up nearly 7% from '05), UDHI recently stated plans to expand its network by an additional 2,000 dentists over the next 12-24 months. So how does this operation work? Just how does UDHI rake in millions by basically acting as the middleman? By entering into exclusivity agreements with union organizations, under which UDHI; is guaranteed sole access to potential union dental patients within specified geographic boundaries, the company is then able to charge dentists a fee to access the operating zone. Fees, according to the company, average out to approximately $5,000 per contract. With more than 20 years worth of experience and industry contacts, a member base possessing $192,000,000 in annual purchasing power, and the proven ability to provide affordable dental care to union members, we don't anticipate UDHI having any problems attracting new dentist partners. Apparently management feels the same way. In today's most recent release,U DHI stated that the company hopes to penetrate 5% of the country's 200,000 dentists over aspan> the next few years. Let's do a little math here: (200,000 dentists x 5%) $1,500 (per zone access charge) = $15 million in revenues, not too bad! Of course, one of the biggest complaints among medical practitioners who work with insurance companies, is the delay with which they are paid. Voila! Problem Solved. UDHI Transax International, to provide a claims adjustment/payment processing system that will assure payment reaches doctors/dentists within 24- 36 hours of the patient being treated. If the prospect of receiving payment in less than two days, rather than turning bills over to collectors and potentially recovering only a portion of costs, doesn’t attract a few customers, who knows what will.
At the most recent market price of less than five cents, we see a tremendous upside to what is going on at Union Dental Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: UDHI). The company's recent agreement with AFA- CWA opens the door to the employees of such airlines as United, US Airways, Northwest, Aloha, Air Wisconsin, Air Tran, America West, American Eagle, Atlantic Southeast, ATA, Piedmont, Miami Air, Alaska, PSA, Mesa, Mesaba, Midwest, Spirit, Horizon & Hawaiian. Start your due diligence on this one. Kenny G did not invent Starbucks – he just saw opportunity written all over it!

Initiating Coverage of Lucas Energy Inc. (OTCBB: LUCE)
 Ladies and Gentlemen, today we bring to you one of t he most unique AND also profitable energy plays we’ve come across in quite some time. Lucas Energy Inc. (OTCBB: LUCE), a Houston-based independent oil and gas organization with approximately 34 properties, has posted seven consecutive quarters of profits, executed eight strategic acquisitions over roughly the past seven months, and seen its 4th quarter net income and profits grow by 310% and 234% respectively over the same time period during ’05. So how is Lucas Energy Inc. any different than all of the other big Texas energy plays?  Well, by developing an extremely effective proprietary evaluation technology that allows the company to exploit undervalued properties housing proven oil & gas reserves (all acquired properties hold a minimum of between 30%-50% of their total historical reserve).
Obviously a company notching seven consecutive quarters of profitability (basically since its financial inception), with significant revenues ($910,788 for 9 month period ending 12/31/06) is a lean, mean fighting machine, but these guys seem to have really found their niche.
By staying profitable and leaving cash in the bank, the company intelligently stays away from auctions and multi-million dollar loans and leverages its gold old Texas connections to broker deals with local land owners.  Please keep in mind that the maximum expenditure allowed for strategic acquisitions is $250K and that LUCE only bids on mature properties with significant proven existent reserves. The economics here just make sense. Operating with a gross margin right around 80% for the past three quarters, Lucas Energy obtains an average ROI of just 12 months for its newly acquired properties. After tuning into a recent CEO interview from smallcapvoice.com we learned that cost’s associated with each strategic acquisition break down as follows: $60,000 – Pump equipment $90,000 – In-ground Development (i.e. use of proprietary technology to find correct drill spots) $100,000 – Drilling, cleaning, etc At $50 dollars per barrel, the company is able to achieve, as stated above, an average ROI of 12 months. According to LUCE, only new equipment is used for drilling and excavating, which leads to less downtime and increased productivity. In addition, the company’s strict management team assures that the majority of cash generated from sales is used to fund new ventures that will positively impact the bottom line.  By focusing on mature, underdeveloped gas & oil properties, often overlooked by industry giants, Lucas Energy is quickly building a formidable presence in the U.S. energy market. Although a current price of $2.63 may be alarming to some readers, we feel that current levels are indeed something to be excited about.
James J. Cerna, Chief Executive Officer recently stated that ``Our expectation is that production from the existing portfolio will easily generate $2.25 - 2.75 million in oil revenues for the 2007 calendar year.'' By our accounts, if LUCE is able to execute even a small fraction of the acquisitions it did in ’06, revenues and profits could be again off the charts.
EAG Set To Fight De-Listing
After receiving the bad news recently that the AMEX had rejected its plan to regain compliance and remain on the exchange, Eagle Broadband (AMEX: EAG)feels that the battle has just begun. One stipulation of the AMEX rejection was that EAG would become de-listed if it did not request a hearing in front of the AMEX panel. Eagle is indeed requesting a hearing and seems optimistic of its future results. Commenting on the situation CEO Dave Micek Stated "We look forward to meeting with the panel and presenting our updated plan". Labels: EAG, Eagle Broadband, IPTV
EAG: No One-Trick Pony, Big Installs for IT Services Division
 Although we feel that it’s OK for investors to drool over Eagle Broadband’s (AMEX: EAG) potential to become a leader in the IPTV market, expected to be worth as much as $40 billion by 2010, one must realize that the company is anything but an one-trick pony. Announcing today that its IT services division has successfully implemented VoIP support systems at five regional Hurricane-recovery program offices in three Gulf Coast cities, it appears that EAG has developed three extremely promising business segments (IPTV, SatMAX, IT Services). Commenting on today’s news Dave Micek, CEO of Eagle Broadband stated: "We are exceptionally proud to have designed and implemented a special telecommunications system that meets their needs today and will serve these broader communities tomorrow should disaster strike," "And we look forward to additional opportunities to implement projects like this for them across the country in other communities. These implementations are further examples of Eagle's expanding delivery of disaster-recovery communications solutions throughout the Gulf Coast region."

NAWL: Ramping up for Increased Sales
 One key characteristic that we look for in early-stage small cap companies is a management team that states their plans and follows through with them to a T. This is the case today at NatureWell Inc. (OTCBB: NAWL). A conversation a few months back with CEO James Arabia brought me up to speed on exactly how the company plans to reach its target U.S. demographic of more than 200,000 healthcare professionals. The plan was this: build a presence at trade shows, in industry periodicals, through new & improved corporate/product web sites, sending product samples, and finally following it all up with an aggressive outbound marketing program. Management has followed through on every step of its plan!
With January sales up more than 400%, it would seem that NAWL's outbound marketing barrage will lead to improved sales for the company. Only time will tell, but at a fraction of a penny this one could be worth your while today. Labels: Migraine Headache, Naturewell, Naturewell Inc., NAWL
Grayling Wireless Partners With COGN (Nasdaq)

CPWB: Well on the Way
 From a virtual unknown, to competing head to head with industry leaders such as Fountain Powerboat (AMEX:FPB) and Brunswick Corp. (NYSE: BC). What a difference a few months have made for Challenger Powerboats (OTCBB: CPWB).  After a complete corporate restructuring, the past three months have been chock full of extremely positive news flying out of CPWB. From international distribution agreements and ramped up '07 boat orders to presenting at the crème de la crème of industry events, Challenger's management team has indeed led the company into previously uncharted waters.  Announcing last week that its DDC-33 boat had been independently tested and profiled with tremendous results by 'Powerboat Magazine', CPWB stated today that 'Hot Boat Magazine' has also independently tested the boat with stellar results. The profiles are available in the March 2007 editions of each periodical; however, CEO Laurie Philips had this to say about the most recent profile by 'Hot Boat Magazine': "Our boats have been through rigorous testing by independent and highly regarded third parties such as Powerboat Magazine. We could not have been more satisfied with the results, which we believe places us amongst our peers at the higher end of the high performance market segment. This report which comes on the heels of our recently announced acquisition of IMAR and immediately preceding the Miami International Boat Show, has significantly raised our profile within the industry as we now look to leverage this exposure and accelerate our momentum into the 2007 sales season."
In just a few short months, CPWB has emerged from a niche player into an emerging star in the recreational boating industry, which netted $37 billion worth of sales and services in 2005. If Challenger had not yet established itself without a doubt as a top player in the highest tier of the high performance market, today's news assures that it has.
Challenger announced today that not only has its DDC-33 been profiled in the March '07 edition of "Powerboat Magazine", but in addition, the testing was an enormous success. According to the company, the results exhibit the fact that Challenger's products are a viable, cost-effective competitor amongst a number of well-established, multi-billion dollar competitors. At a current price of just over a dime per share, we feel that CPWB holds the unique potential to replicate the success of industry big wigs including FPB and BC. Here is a quick look at our take on the similarities shared between Challenger and Brunswick Corporation, one of the company's biggest competitors: Both Challenger and Brunswick started off with key product offerings outside of the recreation boat industry and brought in well respected personnel to lead the reinvented companies. Although CPWB (Formerly Xtreme Companies Inc.) was initially focused on emergency response watercraft, Brunswick was a leader in bowling and dart products in the U.S. before achieving boating greatness. Each company acquired key players within the recreational boating industry responsible for technological and engineering breakthroughs. While Challenger and its highly esteemed, patented hull design, swallowed up IMAR Group and Gekko Sports, Brunswick entered the market by acquiring world's two largest boat manufacturers, Bayliner Marine Corp. and Sea Ray Industries. Although Brunswick was indeed stronger financially during its rise to fame than CPWB is at this point in time, both companies seem to be equipped with their own unique competitive differentiators. While CPWB may be starting off smaller than Brunswick, the company has constructed a proven and tested corporate team and boasts highly touted products that have gained notoriety in recent years, even without enormous budgets. The next three to five years should be an accurate indicator of CPWB's true potential to take market share away from competitors like Brunswick. Although it appears that the company's future is so you bright you may need sunglasses, building a brand does not happen overnight. In the meantime, however, CPWB has nearly tripled since our first alert as 2007 is proving to be a transformational year for CPWB and its investors. The 25 cent mark is not out of the question. As always, do your due diligence and happy trading!

Message From Nighthawk Systems CEO
 Good Morning! The following press release went out this morning and announces the sale of our PT1000’s to City Water, Light and Power (CWLP) of Springfield , Illinois . CWLP will use the PT1000’s to remotely control capacitor banks, which essentially enhance the quality of the electricity going to specific regions of their electrical grid. We provide customized firmware and a customized enclosure to CWLP to match their needs. They first bought units from Nighthawk in the fall of last year, and that order was one of our largest of 2006. Because of the uniqueness of the product that we supply to them, these are some of the higher priced products that we sell. I’m extremely pleased that they have already come back to us this year seeking additional units. They’ve told us that they are very pleased with the performance of our units, and look to continue adding units to their program. As I mention in the release, we ended the year strongly, and have started the year even stronger from a sales perspective. In our recent releases, I’ve tried to let readers know that we are looking to provide new and existing customers with some additional, enhanced products during 2007 that will add to the value that Nighthawk can provide to our customers. In doing so, it’s our goal to become a technology partner with our customers, not just another product vendor. I believe that ongoing relationships with customers like CWLP will serve our Company well. Nighthawk participated in the DistribuTECH trade show in San Diego earlier this week, and I spent a day visiting with other product and service providers within our industry, as well as existing and prospective customers and many people with in-depth knowledge of the utility industry. There are a lot of companies out there competing for utility business with expensive communications platforms that fall under the heading of AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) platforms. A lot of money will be spent in the coming months and years on these platforms, but I believe the real benefit to the utilities and their customers from these platforms will be derived from the end-point devices that are controlled via the AMI platform. Monitoring and communication of data is great, but all of that information will be useless unless actions can be taken based on that information. Nighthawk devices can enable action to be taken, remotely and/or automatically. I think Nighthawk, with devices already out in the field controlling meters, air conditioners, hot water heaters and even individual appliances and machines, will become more and more valuable as its devices are integrated with AMI platforms. Utilities, and their customers, will need to generate benefits for themselves and Nighthawk is already allowing them to do this today. Have a great day! Doug Labels: Nighthawk, NIHK

Growth Strategy Bearing Fruit for NAWL, Investors
Hitting a daily high of $.0034 on news that January revenues were up more than 420% over the same month during 2006, NatureWell Inc. (OTCBB: NAWL) seems to be making the move from a nice idea to a distributor of significant units. Commenting on today's news, CEO James Arabia stated: "These sales numbers reflect the efforts of our multi-pronged marketing strategy, of which we are in the earliest stages," "It is exciting to see our long-awaited strategy begin to bear fruit. The results are very encouraging and I am optimistic about what we can achieve as our marketing efforts expand and mature. We are constantly evaluating sales techniques and ways to educate healthcare professionals about MigraSpray in order to convince them of the benefits of making MigraSpray available to their patients, and we are only in the beginning of that process."
Since the company is coming to market with what it claims to be the only known over-the-counter migraine treatment that may be used for acute treatment and prevenuetion of migraines, it's a safe been that sales will continue to trend upwards in the near term. With US market for migraine “treatment” remedies estimated at $1.5 billion and the “untapped” migraine prevention market in US at nearly $3.5 billion annually, NAWL, in our opinion is extremely well positioned to gain significant traction within the migraine market Labels: Break Out, Migraine, Migraine Headache, Naturewell, Naturewell Inc., NAWL
Repeat Business Yet Again for Nighthawk Systems Inc.
Announcing yet another repeat order, this time from one of its largest 2006 customers, it appears that Nighthawk Systems Inc. (OTCBB: NIHK) is rapidly building a presence in the booming M2M marketplace. Today’s news is very impressive for a number of reasons, one of them being the fact that the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) market is pegged by research firms such as IDATE to hit $270 billion by 2010. NIHK continues generate repeat orders at a rapid pace while attracting new business just as quickly. In our opinion, this surge in business is highly attributed to the company transitioning from a “box mover” to a “solutions provider”. By positioning itself as integration partner, NIHK is able to establish long term, meaningful business relationships that typically lead to portions of customer’s annual budgets being allotted for its products. For those of you still unfamiliar with NIHK, the company’s internally developed specialized circuit-board, “The Nighthawk”, employs a microprocessor in order to create an “intelligent” device capable of receiving and decoding a wireless digital message, in addition to remotely turning “on” / “off” and rebooting electric devices. “The Nighthawk” is capable of receiving digital messages and relaying them to any electronic device and is becoming very popular due to its ability to be easily integrated with the customer’s existing hardware and allowing remote management of a virtually endless number of electric devices. What is M2M? Often referred to by many names such as telemetry, pervasive internet, remote monitoring; M2M technologies enable communication, both wireless and wired, between two electric devices. Although growth forecasts for the M2M market vary by source, the overall outlook for the market is extremely positive over the next 3-5 years. A sampling of statistical data outlining the forecasted state of the market includes: - "$100 billion combined in revenue seen by 2010 for US, Japan and Western Europe in M2M business." (McKinsey and Company) - "By 2007, there will be between 100 million and 160 million machine-to-machine connections worldwide that use wireless mobile phone networks." (Gartner Group) - "WDRG expects the total M2M market, including hardware, software and services (both network and professional) to grow from about $3.4 billion in 2002 to over $28 billion in 2007." (Wireless Data Research Group) - "Worldwide device-related revenue streams by 2010 in excess of$250 billion." (Harbor Research) - Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications could grow by 49% per year until 2010, with revenues surpassing $270 billion and more than 100 billion objects communicating wirelessly (IDATE) - The M2M market has the potential to reach $270 billion by 2010 (Alexander Resources) - $250 billion in M2M sales by the end of the decade (Research and Markets) - “The M2M market is expected to grow to $270 million by 2010 as industries look to harness today's massive computing power and apply it to everyday electronic devices” (Ray Jones, head of IBM's Sensors & Actuators division.) After visiting with company officials yesterday at the DISTRIBUTECH Conference and Exhibition in San Diego, we are very optimistic in regards to what 2007 will bring, and we aren’t the only ones. In just a few short hours visiting the NIHK booth we were barraged by an excited gathering of potential customers representing a variety of industries. By attending industry events such as DISTRIBUTECH and kicking off its initial sales/marketing campaign, NIHK is simply getting in front of more customers than ever before. As M2M sales heat up and NIHK signs contracts at record rates, can you afford not to take a closer look at less than a dime? Labels: Nighthawk, NIHK
Huge Exposure For Challenger
Although the boating industry hit rough waters in 2006, analysts are confident that there's nothing but smooth sailing ahead. A number of factors, such as the recent dip in oil prices, a successful industry led "Discover Boating" public awareness campaign, and relatively steady economic growth are expected to facilitate increased industry sales over the next 3- 5 years. Supporting our opinion that the industry is poised for steady growth, recent research conducted by E- Composites predicts that the global demand for recreational boats will increase from $23.7 billion in 2005 to approximately $33 billion in annual sales by 2010, representing an annual growth rate of 7%, or compound 5 year growth of 39.24%. With this year's boating season only months away, we feel that a significant opportunity exists for emerging boating suppliers equipped with competitive products and solid distribution channels. One company that fits this description is Challenger Powerboats Inc. (OTCBB: CPWB). In just a few short months, CPWB has emerged from a niche player into an emerging star in the recreational boating industry, which netted $37 billion worth of sales and services in 2005. If Challenger had not yet established itself without a doubt as a top player in the highest tier of the high performance market, today's news assures that it has. Challenger announced today that not only has its DDC-33 been profiled in the March '07 edition of "Powerboat Magazine", but in addition, the testing was an enormous success. According to the company, the results exhibit the fact that Challenger's products are a viable, cost-effective competitor amongst a number of well-established, multi-billion dollar competitors.

Repeat Sale For Eagle's SatMAX (r) units
Annoucing on Tuedsay an additional order for its SatMAX(r) units from a nationally known communications technology corporation, Eagle Broadbad Inc. (AMXEX: EAG)is exhibiting that its products hold the potential to generate revenues outside of their traditional application markets. According to the EAG, the repeat customer will use the SatMax system test its own NAL Research Iridium-modem-based products. This has been identified by managment as a rather large potential market. Commenting on the recent news, CEO Dave Micek stated, "This repeat order validates that this unconventional use of our SatMAX product is indeed a viable business opportunity for Eagle".

Another 52-Week High for Commerce Planet
Hitting $2.88 in later-day trading, CPNE seems to be benefiting greatly from it’s >$100 million market cap. Commerce Planet fulfilled and exceeded this key investment criteria for small cap fund managers and other institutional investors when shares hit $2.04 on Tuesday, closing at $2.35 on above average volume of 1,260,000. Since then, the floodgates have opened and it appears that new, possibly longer-term investors are flowing in. These new investors have most likely facilitated recent growth to at least some extent and more are likely to follow suit as the story spreads. We stated that $3 was a distinct possibility, but could it hit the mark today? Only time will tell Labels: 52 Week High, Commerce Planet, Commerce Planet Inc., CPNE
Two New High Potenital Ideas
After some intense digging, MSP has unearthed two surging small cap prospects that we feel hold the unique potential to replicate the success of some of our recent overachievers such as CPNE, NIHK, EXCS, and USEI. In today’s edition, we would like introduce two of our most promising new small cap ideas for 2007. While Seawright Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: SWRI) is emerging as a potential cash cow in the multi-billion dollar U.S. drinking water market, Grayling Wireless Inc. (Pink Sheets: GRYW) has just released new communications products set to revolutionize the market. Both companies have kicked off the new-year in style and we are here to bring you all of the news. Drinkable Water, Almost as Scarce as OilContrary to the belief of many, the world’s drinking water supply is being depleted at an alarming rate. Similar to oil and gasoline, drinkable water is an extremely scarce resource with only 1% of the world’s water fit for consumption. Holding spring water reserves in excess of 350 million gallons per year, and located only a day’ drive to 2/3 of the east coast including New York City and Washington D.C., SWRI is well-positioned to become a top distributor to more than 20 million people. With global population expected to balloon to more than 9 billion by 2050, and air/water pollution levels rising by the day, the world needs clean drinking water. This is a fact. Don’t believe it? Check out Tuesday’s report from the UN Intergovernal PanelGRYW: An Emerging Leader in the First Responder MarketIn the wake of a number of alarming recent events, recent media coverage has exhibited in great detail the need for improved communications between first responders such as firefighters, industrial/chemical emergency response teams, military personnel, etc. Some of the more highly-publicized include: The U.S. government receiving an “F” grade on ensuring communications interoperability amongst first responders by the 9/11 committee (http://www.house.gov/stupak/100hoursleg.shtm); The alarmingly high rate of industrial/chemical emergencies and budgetary resources allotted worldwide for private, emergency response teams that act as a first line of defense before relying on the public sector (http://www.csb.gov/); and A number of recent near-catastrophic accidents caused as oil and chemical plants in the Gulf Coast Region, once battered by Hurricane Katrina, are back online (http://www.csb.gov/safety_publications/docs/CSBKatrinaSafetyBulletin.pdf). In recent blog editions, readers have been educated regarding the growing demand for interoperable, next-generation communications infrastructure in first responder environments. After reading up a bit on the market, we also vowed to subscribers that we would do our best to identify some unique opportunities in this niche space. Once again, we do not fail to impress.
