Wow, what are people buying at .12 and were selling at .135 that's serious money. I want to make thousands not hundreds or less.

Trop Depression #5 just announced by Navy in the caribbean with expected destination Gulf Coast. Only god knows how strong this will get once it hits the untapped 90+degree waters in the Gulf.
By the 5PM NHC update, some expect this to strengtehen even more to trop Storm Enesto.

I think it's up to this storm in the caribbean if this takes off early next week. This little run today shows that the bottom of ECCI is 11 cents and has no where to go up when around that. NLST didn't budge today because their bottom is way less than 40 cents.

This system has a little shear it has to work its way through in the eastern Caribbean... The Eastern Caribean hasn't historically been a very good place for development either. Once it gets into the central to western Caribean, things should really take shape

utvolsfan13 so if this projected path is right it looks like this could be in the gulf in 5-6 days. If it makes the gulf it strenghtens and becomes a hurricane and then will hit the US 90% of the time.

It does look that way.. This is the time of year when hurricanes start cooking, they hit early last year. maybe the brunt will come late this yr. seems unlikely their will be no hurricanes at all this yr affecting USA. Looking for this stock to do well tomorrow too.

Tommorrow I bet it closes in the .15 to .155 range. What does everyone else think?

If you take a look at the charts for NSMG and ECCI, you'll see most of their gains came last year after storms hit. Either people started paying attention then or they figured their services would be needed. This year, I'm assuming it will be different (as we've already seen) since people know what the stock has potential of doing. Even though it took landfall before the stock would rise last year, this year should be different.

A vigorous tropical wave is making its way through the Windward Islands and was investigated by the Hurricane Hunters earlier this afternoon. They have found a closed circulation at the surface along with sustained winds of 35 mph. It has thus been deemed Tropical Depression 5. Squally weather (heavy rain with wind gusts of up to tropical storm force) will continue for the Windward Islands along with Trinidad and Tobago through the late night hours but conditions will improve during Friday

Tropical Depression 5 has formed in the eastern Caribbean. Squally weather (heavy rain with wind gusts of up to tropical storm force) will continue for the Windward Islands along with Trinidad and Tobago through the late night hours but conditions will improve by Friday. If this system becomes a tropical storm it will be named Ernesto. The system will move toward Jamaica over the next 3 days, then possibly toward the Gulf of Mexico by early next week.

ECCI could really start taking of tommorrow and next week if these projections are right.

This is exactly what I am thinking... these stocks will move on the hype of an impending hurricane this year and probably tank after it hits. I'm hoping to be able to flip this 3 to 4 times in the next two months, but I'll be content to get at least one good pop.

There's a truth to that but for the HUGE gains you're going to have to wait for the "aftermath."

They just compared Tropical Storm 5 (ernesto) to Hurricane Ivan in 2004 on the weather channel. Hurricane Ivan went to the gulf of mexico then hit US land just like this storm is projected.

It's not a tropical storm yet. It's not Ernesto yet. The NHC does not make forecasts past 5 days so it's not yet projected to hit the U.S. Chances look good that it will, but the NHC keeps this as a Tropical Storm all the way to the Yucatan Peninsula, past the Caymans.. already making it not similar to Ivan. In no way am I saying that this thing isn't going to develop and or hit the United States. It's just not a tropical storm and not Ernesto and not Ivan.

(State College, PA) - Tropical Depression 5 is nearly tropical storm strength; once Tropical Storm Ernesto forms, the question is, "Will the storm then intensify into the first hurricane of the year?"
