President Barack Obama has called on the U.S. to put 1 million electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids on the road by 2015. But the country won’t get anywhere close to that number until drivers are confident they can find places to recharge their vehicles.

All of this information is extremely positive for Car Charging Group (CCGI.OB).

The political lobbyists follow the money and there is no larger pool of money developing in North America than the pool of legalized gambling.

All of this is very positive news for HeadsUp Entertainment. Two of the biggest political names in the United States, Barney Frank and Dick Gephardt are strong proponents of legalized online gambling in the United States.

Harrah’s, the world’s largest casino operator, has spent more than $3,000,000 over the past year to promote online gambling. Dick Gephardt’s lobbying company has been paid $300,000 through an intermediary by PokerStars.

All of this is very important for HeadsUp Entertainment. More to follow.

China has confirmed the intention to purchase 191.3 tons of gold from the International Monetary Fund at an open auction, Finmarket news agency said.

   

World central banksstarted to increase their gold reserves after prices on gold began toclimb in 2001. The IMF sells gold within the scope of a program todiversify sources of income and achieve an increase in lending.

The IMF announced an intention to sell 403.3 tons ofgold in accordance with the adequate decision made by the board ofdirectors of the fund in September of 2009. India, Mauritius and SriLanka purchased about 212 tons of the amount at the end of 2009. Indiapurchased most – 200 tons.

China’s interest in international trade is connectedwith the development of the nation’s economy, as well as with thegrowing consumer demand in the country.

“Chinese officials have confirmed previousannouncements from IMF experts and said that the purchasing of 191 tonsof gold would not exert negative influence on the world market. Chinais interested in the development of the domestic consumer market,” theagency reports.

Most of Chinese citizens believe that investing in gold jewelry is a good way to avoid inflation, Rough & Polished agency said.

The IMF has received the profit of $7.2 billion fromgold sales. A part of the funds is to be used for crediting poorcountries.

Peruse the market for small cap stocks and you’ll find of bunch of geniuses trying to make money in the online poker world. Without naming names, a publicly-traded British Columbia- based company has created an online monopoly-type poker game using non legal currency until online poker becomes legal in North America. It makes as much sense as fingerless gloves. That’s why I’ve stayed away from trying to make money in the poker market until now. That is, until I discovered HeadsUp Entertainment Inc (HDUP:PK).

Although no one can truly determine the size of the poker market because because many of the online gambling companies are privately owned and are not obligated to publish their balance sheets, Goldman Sachs estimated the size of the U.S. online poker market to be $1.5 billion in 2008. Other reports I’ve read estimated the North American market to be approximately $30 billion with online poker raking in over $50 billion annually worldwide.

If you want the trace the surge of popularity of poker in North America, you need to know the name Chris Moneymaker. An accountant by trade and a $40,000 a year employee as per the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, Moneymaker parlayed $40 into $2.5 million in the 2003 World Series of Poker and from that remarkable run, 2.5 million poker players in the United States or as some may say, “dreamchasers” were born.

Recently, Canadian provinces have now entered into the online gaming market. A famous cynic once said, “Government-owned businesses are simply offshoots of tax revenue loss.” In English, this means that if enough non-taxable business is done in any jurisdiction in the world, you can bet that local and federal governments will aim for a piece of that pie. That remains true for any country in the world. In fact, cities such as Las Vegas and Atlantic City were built with that exact strategy in mind.

Some lottery corporations across Canada have now adopted the world of online gambling. British Columbia offers online poker, letting players bet as much as $9,999 a week in games. Earlier this month, Loto-Quebec announced its intention to offer online gambling and poker.

All of these activities have placed HeadsUp Entertainment in quite an enviable position for 2010. Over the past 6 years, the Company has built an all inclusive media model being the only ones producing poker television in the country, publishing Canada’s only poker magazine and now launching its online poker television network. By entrenching itself in its casino partner relationships, HeadsUp has implemented barriers to entry for international competitors and has positioned itself as a prime candidate for acquisition.

The company is not trying to create a gambling operation. Therefore and unlike many of the small poker sites, there are no legal issues to battle down the road. HeadsUp Entertainment is simply trying to capitalize on the popularity of the surge of poker in North American casinos. Unless ESPN is aiding and abetting, you can be assured that the current company will remain far from any legal quagmires as a result of gambling statutes in North America. With a focus on Canada, the company’s goal is to create a global media company exclusively focused on the poker market. Although the company directly benefits from the popularity of online poker sites, the company’s strategy is focused on the casino-based poker market. The company’s strategy encompasses the growth of the Canadian Poker Tour. In order to attract players to the HeadsUp Brand, the company will lure a membership through the exclusive Players Card and the Canadian Poker Player Magazine.

The Players Card is a membership program which will offer players significant products’ and services’ discounts. As a member of the Players Card, all members can earn enough points to participate in the year-end CPT Players Point Championship. Among other prizes is a $100,000 payday to the winner.

With partnerships with more than 40 casinos in Canada, Heads Up is building the Canadian Poker Tour along with the website canadianpokertour.tv which will benefit the casinos as well as the Canadian Poker Tour brand. To date, the company has signed one of the best talent pools in poker today for future events.

The final leg of the marketing trifecta is Canadian Poker Player magazine. Canadian Poker Player Magazine creates a forum to co-license events with casinos, corporate clients, players and readers to market the company’s events and products to a targeted audience. Already the #1 magazine for serious poker players in Canada, the company plans on increasing circulation to 100,000 within the next three years.

HeadsUp Entertainment currently has XXXXXXX shares outstanding. With three thriving brands in a rapidly expanding market, HeadsUp Entertainment represents one of the best risk-reward investment opportunities in the North American poker market today. Almost 3 million people in the United States play online poker and with well over 3 million in North America participating in the worldwide poker phenomenon, shares of Heads Up may be poised for explosive growth over the next few months.

A sharp drop in consumer confidence is sending stocks lower.

The Conference Board says Tuesday its consumer confidence index has fallen to 46 in February from 56.5 last month. Economists had expected a reading of 55.

Not only did the index fall sharply, it is far from indicating strength in the economy. A reading above 90 means the economy is on solid footing.

Consumers are vital to a strong, sustained economic recovery because their spending accounts for more than two-thirds of all economic activity.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 36.43, or 0.4 percent, at 10,346.95. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is down 6.32, or 0.6 percent, at 1,101.69, while the Nasdaq composite index is down 14.52, or 0.7 percent, at 2,227.51.

When we first profiled Cavu Resources on January 13, 2010, we asked the question , “How can this stock go in 2010?” We still ask that same question.

In a recent conversation with the Company’s CEO, we were talking about the company’s considerable assets. The services division’s assets are valued at over $2 million. This does not include any of the company’s 35 miles of active gas pipelines, 15 miles of saltwater disposal lines and over 50 miles of oil pipelines.

In the next post, we will try to solicit some type of valuation from the company for their lines/pipelines. In the meantime, we remain equally enthusiastic as when we first profiled CAVU back in mid-January.

Stocks are sharply lower after China said it would increase bank reserve levels

Chinese regulators are trying to contain rapid economic growth to prevent speculative investment bubbles there. The surprising move comes a day after a tame inflation report raised hopes that China wouldn’t have to further tighten its monetary policy.

Concerns about debt problems in European countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal, as well as President Barack Obama’s push for new regulations on banks also weighed on the market and increased volatility in recent weeks.

On Thursday, European Union leaders pledged to provide Greece with support as it tries to bring its debt problems under control. There has been concern that debt problems there could spread and destabilize Europe’s common currency, the euro.

A Commerce Department report that showed retail sales grew more than expected in January had little effect on trading. Retail sales rose 0.5 percent last month, slightly better than the 0.3 percent expected by economists polled by Thomson Reuters.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 133.85, or 1.3 percent, to 10,010.34. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 13.48, or 1.3 percent, to 1,064.99, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 23.12, or 1.1 percent, to 2,154.29.

New Client Alert:

Tootie Pie Company, Inc. (OTC BB: TOOT)

Tootie Pie Company bakes and sells high-quality, handmade pies through three basic sales channels: retail, corporate and wholesale. The retail segment serves individual consumers through in-store sales, orders via telephone and internet on the Company’s website. The corporate segment serves businesses that purchase pies as a way to promote their company through client and employee appreciation programs. The wholesale segment is made up of national and regional broad line grocery and foodservice distributors who purchase pies and then resell them through their respective sales distribution channels.

Tootie Pie recently announced that it sold over 13,500 pies for the month of November 2009, an increase of 15% over November 2008, making this the best November in the Company’s history.

Don Merrill, Tootie Pie Company’s President & CEO, commented, “Coming on the heels of a 15% sales increase for October, this holiday season is shaping up very well for the Tootie Pie Company. I am pleased to see our continued sales growth, especially during these tough times.”

SmallCapVoice.com subscribers should take note that based upon the 15% year over year sales increase for both October and November combined with the seasonally strong Holiday season, we expect that Tootie Pie will report record third quarter operating results.

Stocks are slightly lower despite plans to help Greece resolve its debt crisis

Stocks fell modestly Thursday morning as a pledge by European leaders to help Greece with its growing debt crisis failed to inspire investors.

Global markets had been shaken in recent weeks by concerns that debt trouble in countries like Greece, Portugal and Spain would unravel a budding global economic recovery. There is concern that Greece’s troubles will spread throughout the 16-nation euro zone and cause problems elsewhere.

Investors were also reacting coolly to a Labor Department report that showed first-time claims for jobless benefits fell sharply last week.

The Labor Department said the number of newly laid-off workers seeking unemployment benefits fell by 43,000 to a seasonally adjusted 440,000, the lowest level in a month. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting claims to fall to 465,000.

The sharp drop came after claims rose in four of the previous five weeks. The recent increase in claims put investors on edge about whether an economic recovery would be sustainable.

High unemployment has been considered one of the biggest obstacles to strong growth in the country.

In early morning trading, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 21.31, or 0.2 percent, to 10,017.07. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 3.48, or 0.3 percent, to 1,064.65, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 5.51, or 0.3 percent, to 2,142.36.

XcelPlus Global Holdings, Inc., a leading manufacturer and distributor of industrial biofuels, will see new markets open up with the recently introduced National Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) program from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Members of the XcelPlus Global leadership team and its affiliate, Gen-X Energies, attended a briefing from EPA officials while at the National Biodiesel Annual Conference and Expo in Dallas, TX this week. XcelPlus Global currently serves customers in the road construction, paper mill and lime kiln industries, but the universe of new business possibilities increased greatly with the new legislation.

“The big news for us is the increased enforcement action the EPA is taking with heavy industrial companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said J. Michael Parsons, president and CEO of XcelPlus Global Holdings. “One of the best solutions for industry will be to use our fuel or a blend of our fuel. Either way, we will benefit by supplying fuel to industries we were not previously serving.”

XcelPlus Global is also looking to expand its business scope to include solar and wind energy in the future. “We’re committed to finding ways to provide cleaner, less expensive energy solutions,” said Parsons. “We see great potential for all forms of renewable energy in the near future.”

Stocks turn lower after comments by Fed Chairman Bernanke

The stock market is falling as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke details plans for dismantling the central bank’s economic support measures.

Bernanke says in prepared remarks to a House committee Wednesday that the Fed likely will begin tightening credit by raising the interest rate it pays to banks on the money they have deposited at the Fed.

That would lead to an increase in borrowing rates for consumers and businesses. The Fed chief cautioned that the central bank is not yet ready to boost interest rates.

The Dow Jones industrial average is down 75 at 9,983 after being flat ahead of Bernanke’s comments. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index is down 9 at 1,062. The Nasdaq composite index is down 16 at 2,135.

Stocks rally behind Caterpillar earnings and Greece debt help

Stocks rose broadly on Tuesday with Caterpillar Inc and other industrial shares benefiting from a broker upgrade and talk of help for debt-burdened Greece reviving investor sentiment.

Speculation Greece could get help from the European Union underpinned the rise in stocks, boosting commodity prices and resource shares as the U.S. dollar weakened. Concerns over rising debt in some euro zone countries has sapped confidence from equity markets of late.

European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet was leaving a meeting of central bankers in Sydney early to attend a European Union leaders’ summit. Even so, two ECB policymakers reiterated that Greece must get its own house in order as the European Central Bank cannot bail it out.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 130.90 points, or 1.32 percent, to 10,039.29. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rose 12.40 points, or 1.17 percent, to 1,069.14. The Nasdaq Composite Index was up 21.81 points, or 1.03 percent, at 2,147.86.
