I have a higher priced stock that I will be buying today (its a little after the midnight hour as I write this) and a low priced stock that I talk about after this one. I talked about these on the $1,000 to $100,000 site:
Monday I am putting $1,000 of my own money in my bid to turn it into $100,000 by the end of Dec. It will be in my IRA so that I don't have to withdraw any profits to be given to the IRS. I will also be putting all the money into one stock. On $1,000, comissions can take a big bite if you buy three or more stocks instead of just one. I also won't just buy low priced stocks. If I find a special situation, I will buy a higher priced stock and even if it only goes up 25% or 50%, if I do just a few of those, it will really start to add up. And as it works out, I do have a special situation stock:
FDEI Fidelis Energy Incorporated
Price .87
Has a heavy oil property that they are starting to treat with steam injection and a gas property that they have drilled one well with good gas flow and plan on drilling more wells. They have built a gas pipe line to send the gas from the wells to market, but the last 177 feet has not been built because they are waiting on a government agency to give the OK to build it. It looks like that approval will soon be in place and then they can start selling their gas. Also they have just finished the steam enhancement of thier first Commanche Point Heavy Oil well and had a subtantial increase in oil production from the well. They are planning on drilling many more wells. Also, the SEC has just given the preliminary list of heavily shorted stocks, including stocks that may have suffered naked short selling which wasn't reported by the short sellers and FDEI is on that list. The short sellers have 13 trading days to cover their shorts, and this should also drive up the price of the stock. The stock has started to edge upward the last few days, which might mean that somebody knows something. Monday morning I will see what the bid/ask is and see if the stock is still moving upward or if it is taking a breather and edging downward, but in either case I will buy the stock.

On the other hand, if you want a low price stock, here is an interesting one:
QRVI Quality Restaurant Ventures.
01-07-05 Price = .0009 ... A year ago it was .09

So a year ago it was 100x higher than it is now.
During that year, this newly formed company has been expanding the number of restaurants that it owns plus has acqured a partial stake in two other companies plus is starting to franchise its restaurants. So, as the year has gone on, the company has gotten better and better, but its stock price has gone down and down. I have not been able to find out how many shares that they have, so it could be that they are flooding the market with shares and thus driving the price down, or it could just be that people are not familar with the company and so its price has tended to drop. But, with its strong growth, it looks like it is just a matter of time before it starts to get recognized and thus it should start to rise in price. So just this one stock could be the 100x price increase that would turn $1,000 into $100,000. Here is some information on it:
Quality Restaurant Ventures, Inc. Announces Its Business Model And Vision For The Future QRVI

Tuesday , February 03, 2004 16:31 ET

HEATHROW, Fla., Feb 3, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Quality Restaurant Ventures, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: QRVI), formerly Sobik's International Franchising, Inc., for years has been known as a high-quality submarine sandwich and deli concept having grown methodically through franchising, co- branding and development of non-traditional business venues. Although those will remain key components for the Sobik's Subs brand to continue its existing growth, Quality Restaurant Ventures, Inc. (QRVI), will now begin to focus on a more aggressive model of acquisition and joint venturing with other brands.

Quality Restaurant Ventures, Inc.'s former majority shareholder, Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UFSY) has long been positioned as an acquirer and manager of franchise systems in over 30 states across America. QRVI will now develop that model on a regional and multi-state basis.

Whereas five to fifty store unit chains are now potentially too small for Ultimate Franchise Systems, Inc. to acquire, they are ideal candidates for QRVI if they are in the south-eastern United States and, more specifically, in the state of Florida. QRVI will be able to take advantage of Ultimate's significant infrastructure and size while being able to take advantage of looking at smaller regional brands. Ultimate Franchise Systems continues to own a 19% non-dilutive preferred class of stock in QRVI. Ultimate will continue to give QRVI access to its product purchasing power, marketing/advertising economies as well as to its legal and accounting infrastructure. This will allow QRVI to focus on the purchasing and development of small regional franchisors.

QRVI's immediate business strategy will focus on expanding Sobik's Subs into the Tampa/St. Petersburg and Jacksonville markets. Subsequently, the south Florida market will be targeted. As Sobik's develops a foothold in these markets, the Company will be looking for strategic acquisitions or joint venture partners already established in these markets. Through the acquisition or partnering with additional restaurant brands, QRVI believes it can greatly mitigate three major hurdles to rapid growth. First, identifying and securing competitive retail locations; second, being able to develop human resources in the market rapidly and with quality business partners; and third, achieving brand equity rapidly and inexpensively. Through acquiring or partnering with new brands in these markets, QRVI can co-brand existing locations, have greater leverage in negotiating new locations or rollout partial product offerings in the new partnered company's existing locations. This will also gre!
atly increase QRVI's ability to g
ner more marketing leverage. Finally, by having access to the new partnered brands' existing human resources, the Company expects Sobik's will be able to build their team of franchisees and area support team much more rapidly through cross-training and dual functioning.

QRVI will facilitate Sobik's to move along their current path of sourcing new area developers who will look to develop territories with multiple locations. They will also continue to rollout their express units in petroleum and non-traditional locations.

QRVI's corporate team members are many of the same individuals who were instrumental in growing Ultimate Franchise Systems from 36 units to over 300 units in eighteen months. While the Company certainly does not predict the same sort of growth rate, the management feels confident that it can identify and acquire strong regional brands and grow its holdings beyond Sobik's Subs. Management believes through this new business model they can develop QRVI into a leading consolidator in the southeast and, most importantly, increase shareholder value.
