written by reader Paul Mampilly’s 100x deal

By backoffice, April 8, 2020

I listened to a sales pitch last night for over 1 hour that was geared to Paul Mampilly’s Banyan Hill suckers and was waiting for the 3 stocks that would pay returns of at least 100x or better ,
what I got at the end was an opportunity to sign up for the service for $10,000 for life. With that you would get at least 1 tip a month at minimum and pay a yearly fee for maintainence. The time frame for these returns could be anywhere from 1 year to 8 or 9 years, He gave some insight into the 3 picks he was talking about but no ticker symbols. They are all micro-caps and 1 had a patent for blood testing without the need of collecting blood without a needle. Did anyone else catch this pitch or have any idea of who it may be? Thanks Travis, he says he’s looking at Micro- caps worth 300 million, have enough capital for 1 year,experienced executives with a track record, gross margins of at least 20%, and a unique service

A little bit of information on $WWR (100x rec)
Westwater Resources, Inc. (NASDAQ: WWR), a diversified energy materials development company. They primarily explore for graphite and Vanadium deposits.

Westwater may be the first major producer of battery grade graphite in the USA. The USA recently declared graphite a supply critical mineral. What the order means is the President requires certain government agencies to provide guidance in determining which projects are eligible for government support, which can include loans or grants. The agencies are also directed to use available authorities to accelerate the issuance of permits in connection with the expansion the supply chain for specified minerals.

In 2020, China will account for roughly 70% of all graphite produced, while the US only accounts for 1%. The United States Government is mandating this to change.

The market for graphite is growing. Every battery for an electric vehicle, cell phone, tablet, laptop, solar panel, and a plethora of other devices needs graphite. Every pencil and many lubricants use graphite. A diverse number of analysts place the growth of graphite consumption at 6-20% annualized growth rate.

The USA needs a source of domestic graphite, produced in large quantities and produced in an environmentally safe manner. Right now, America imports 100% of the graphite it consumes. The USA is literally at the mercy of its offshore trading partners for supply. China is the largest supplier, currently producing 70% of the world’s graphite. The graphite mined in China uses hydrofluoric in the refining process, creating a dangerous environmental cost. Westwater has filed a patent for their claim on an environmentally safe proprietary process.

The US President has issued an Executive order stating that America’s reliance on foreign sources for the minerals used in batteries a national security threat and advises government agencies to offer miners credit, other financial help, and ease in permitting to develop a domestic supply of graphite and other minerals used in batteries.

Westwater owns the most advanced graphite mine in the USA, located in Coosa County Alabama on 42,000 acres and called the Coosa Graphite Project. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) technical report for the Coosa Graphite Project was completed by AGP Mining Consultants Inc. in November 2015 and included an Indicated Resource of 78,488,000 tons, grading 2.39% graphitic carbon (Cg) at a 1% cutoff grade, for a total of 1,876,000 tons contained/in-situ graphite—the largest graphite Indicated Resource in the United States; and Inferred Resources of 79,443,000 tons, grading at 2.56% Cg at a 1% cutoff grade, for a total of 2,034,000 tons contained/in-situ graphite.

Currently, Chinese graphite sells for $500 to $1600 per ton depending on the flake size with the larger flake size going for a premium.

WWR has developed a method of processing graphite into its usable form that does not use hydrofluoric acid and has the potential to eliminate 300,000 tons of carbon emissions annually. The process is proprietary and is patent pending. The company is currently building a processing plant and in conjunction with three other facilities is processing 30 metric tons of graphite utilizing their new technology. This is happening right now!

This one will require patience…

A little bit of information on $WWR (100x ). For some reason I can’t seem to be able to post this. My apologies if multiples show in the thread.

The US government is involved in the development of a domestic graphite industry and WWR seems to have all the needed requirements to do just that in an environmentally responsible manner.

This one will require patience.

Good post. And let me point out that this is an example of what PM is seeing in these companies long before major market forces get involved — thereby getting us in early for that potential 100x.

Has anyone else noticed PM recs seem to spike for a short while after publication but then drop below the rec price for a few days/weeks afterwards? I don’t have any stats on this but have been caught out a few times rushing in as soon as I get notice (FOMO!) only to kick myself for not sitting back and letting the dust settle. Not complaining, just my personal experience/observation and sharing my future intention to hold off and watch for a while longer (for the duration of my own research on the stock at least).

Yes. In fact, PM advises to buy in small slugs and build your position. This is especially evident with the 100x and EF stocks that are small caps and volatile to a mass of people rushing to buy.

Usually, I only stake my whole position if I can get in within about 10% the price when the rec comes out, and if it’s moved a lot I will only get about 10% and build it up over time. Some shot up and never came back down, especially when 100x just started. But I think the members now have less of the immediate FOMO, and are abiding by PM’s suggestion to buy over time.

There is a lot of time between 1x and 100x. Better to buy at a good buying point, as those initial pullbacks create psychological stresses and second-guessing.

There have been a few that took off and never came back though, so it’s hard to say. I try to look more “Long term”…. So even if I spend a little more at my entry point, if the stock goes up 100%, I’m not going to resent paying a little more. I tend to jump into PU, TM and EF buys, then do DD. For IPO, and SP, I have learned (through losses ) to wait for the dust to settle.

This explains why REFXF went down to $0.030 today yet executing my $0.045 buy. Grey sheets are too risky and shady as the trading is moderated by a broker and consenting individuals at a price they mutually agree on, and with very little or no SEC regulation to oversee the transaction. Stocks that were Suspended for any allegations are awaiting SEC Litigation or are being litigated and those stocks will remain on the Grey Sheets and will NOT be revoked until all SEC Litigation has been adjudicated by an SEC Administrative Law Judge.

Glad my order wasn’t executed. I’ve just cancelled it. I may come back if REFXF suspension is lifted and allowed bank into the pink sheet.

For those that don’t know, this is traded on ASX as RFX. I’ve been a holder since day one with these guys (They’re local to my home town, and current CEO and initial backer is someone I’ve worked with in the past). We had high hopes for redflow, but they have struggled to find the right market, and have had real issues with cost effective manufacture. Have been sitting on it for some hope of a recovery or large contract to come through. If you’re wanting to keep a bit more informed on the stock, the aussie forum HotCopper has a number of threads on announcements (warning, it can get a little like reddit on there). https://hotcopper.com.au/asx/rfx/. In short, this has been a highly frustrating stock and there is a lot of pump and dump going on. A few announcements around contracts they’ve won lately, but still nowhere near the traction for their products any of us originally hoped for.

Just a quick follow up. I realise I probably came across pretty negative about the stock in my comments. Some of that just stems from being a long term frustrated holder. Mostly I just wanted to give people some pointers on where they might look for extra info. PM see’s something good in this stock, and since his reco it’s certainly moved around. I don’t have the SP service, so i’m a little blind to PM’s recommendation basis for this one. Perhaps someone else can share a little more info so we can compare notes 🙂 Anyway. I hope PM is right and that great things lie ahead for this Aussie tech stock!

I have ABCL and it is bleeding in the deep red. Actually, most IPO recs are a hit-and-miss (at least for me) and I plan to get out of them as soon as I break even (will keep SNOW for the long term due to multiple teasers and Buffet’s big bet on it). One future IPO I am planning to buy is the Sila Nanotechnology which PM has mentioned multiple times in the past for their million-mile battery that would run 2-3k miles in a single charge.

Where are all the 100X fans today? Hardly any dialogue.

My 100X portfolio was up 14.9% today. Admittedly not exactly equally weighted. I believe I posted that I was hoping to catch a dip and picked MARA as the quickest out of the bad three weeks we just had. I cashed in on some of that overweighting today, taking 20+% on the pieces I bought in the last three trading days. Still extremely overweighted in MARA, but it closed today at 36.77, and had a previous high around 47, so hoping to get it more in balance once it gets closer to that high.

We’ve still not fully recovered from those awful three weeks, but today, I hope signals we are back moving in the right direction. We had 6 of the 21 positions move over 15% today, and every one except RWLK moved up. A pretty good day, overall.

I see SLGG is up for some reason 20% in the aftermarket. (Not that the aftermarket means much with small caps, but still…)

Here’s hoping that we’re heading back up to those highs and beyond!!

I’ve heard SLGG has been talked up in Reddit chat room, and I suspect that is a piece of the puzzle in recent moves.

I don’t try to understand the gaming, but I watch this younger generation wasting their time and $ doing it excessively. The SLGG concept of making it expand outside of the living rooms I think g is attractive, and I’d suspect will pick up steam as we come out of COVID and people are looking for social activities.

Yep, I’ve been reading some of the reddit forums (reluctantly). There was bizarre talk about Gamestop buying them. And then yesterday there was more talk on the Gamestop side (not directly related to SLGG), but regarding Ryan Cohen wanting to take advantage of the “community” side of gaming. I think there’s some strange connecting the dots going on. I’m not into gaming, but the market is definitely huge. I couldn’t believe it years ago when I first came across LoL from Riot, the size of their online audience and in person audience at events, and how much revenue they bring in outside of the game purchase itself.

That being said, when I look at SLGG, they appear to have been around for quite some time (2014?) and maybe I’m wrong, but the actual number of people that use it is pretty small, as is the current number of “clubs”.

You are right re: coming out of COVID. Will have to see what happens.

If you haven’t already, I would suggest you purchase at least PM’s Profits Unlimited service and start there by reading through Paul’s investment strategies and sample portfolio. There’s a sample portfolio in his monthly newsletter. You can then read about some of his other services to get an idea of the degree of speculation involved, potential returns. ie. Get to know what the EF, SP, 100x portfolios are all about. That way you can work out from the info on this thread which stocks might fit into your portfolio. (The spreadsheets and alerts will start to make sense)

Read up on the stocks. I prefer to invest in stocks/sectors I understand reasonably well. If you don’t understand what they do or PM’s projections, it may not be for you. Make sure you check the price at recommendation, research any recent news. Some of these stocks are fairly volatile.Try not to let FOMO drive your decisions. If you see one shoot up, it may not be the time to buy in. A dip might be around the corner, or some longer term momentum upwards might be a sign of safer time to join on the way out.

And in terms of what % to allocate to the stocks you’ve selected, an equal weight strategy is used by quite a few on here, but you might choose to weight things more towards the stocks you have some higher confidence in.

And finally, don’t invest money you can’t afford or might need access to in the near future, and be prepared to have patience. These aren’t quick win stocks (some may have some pretty good fast returns, but thats not the built in expectation).

Take your time. New recommendations come out regularly. Others are trading near their recommended prices and are still worth entering. There’s always some value stocks and opportunities out there 🙂 Hope this helps.

You have to make some decisions about your comfort level. And read PM’s “Rules of the Game.”

You want a minimum of 5 stocks, you want to equally weight the portfolio.

Most important in my mind is know your risk tolerance. If you’re younger, you likely shy away from the risk as you have less $ to risk. But the younger you are the more time you have, so you should really take on more risk.

Because I started with PU in 2017, I’ve developed a lot of faith in PM, eventually getting the life membership in all the services. So I usually get in right away, although I’ve missed some and I don’t do anything on the foreign exchanges.

I have a fixed amount depending on which service the rec comes from. And later, as I learn more, I may get a bigger position.

100x, which I was in from its inception, I started with tiny positions. It did so well, I increased it, then again, then again. And my 2021 resolution was to start these all with a big position — much bigger than any of the other services, much more risk. Why? Because it’s done so well. I don’t necessary recommend this to others.

Now, my position is likely different than yours. I have a 401(k) that is in boring stuff, really my safety net so I can be more risky with my stock accounts.

One big drawback for me is I have too many stocks. Hard to really know and track — so I mostly rely on PM to do that. So, at least get PU so you have access to his thought process.

What I don’t like about the Pm services is that, generally, during each market correction or sell off, he counsels “strong hands” which has proven 100% correct in to big corrections (COVID dip and this recent Feb-Mar NASDAQ correction). But it’d be nice to see some “market timing” guidance, like “the market is down 1/3, time to load up on A, B, C stocks for the recovery.) But he stocks to his rules, so…

Those have been times I deviated. During the COVID dip, PM was saying V-shaped recovery. When the DOW was in the low 20’s, I started buying a lot. I picked a few I thought would recover quickest. AMD stands out. Got a huge position, it came back, made a chunk.

During this recent event, I picked MARA to bounce back quickly, really loaded up with the goal of selling of the load when it did 20%. Took three days.

As your just starting out, I strongly suggest you get PU, read all the material, pick stocks you like with some diversity from the recs, have fun and learn. But have guidelines for yourself so you can sleep at night.

Well said dd. Good to hear a bit more about your journey to. I’m new to PM’s services but had quite a few of his stocks in my portfolio already. I hear ya on the “I have too many stocks to track” front. Having someone else keeping an eye on some of them gives me some peace of mind.

I agree with you re: the market timing guidance. Even just looking at the PU portfolio, I’m a bit surprised how many stocks remain at buy even though they’re a long way from their initial rec price/ buy-zones, but if its above the zone he still states they’re fine to buy (of course you can do what ever you want). There’s only a couple listed as hold. Obviously you should be doing your own research and checking that distance between rec price and current price, but I think it makes it a little difficult for some new investors

Between PM and gumshoe, don’t know why you would spend more. I admit I also have Oxfords Communique, but it’s only a few dollars a year.

This is not the place to advertise other services, but if someone wants to get into investing I always recommend one of the basic Motley Fool services (Stock Advisor/Rule Breakers). You can get it for $59/year or $98/2 years on discount. The stock picks are solid large cap growth stocks (IMHO superior to PU), but the real value lies in all the premium content they produce. You can watch their livestreams for like 40h per week and they do have leading analysts as guests all the time.

Alternatively, their free podcasts are worthwhile, their boards very valuable, and you can follow several of their analysts on twitter (e.g. Danny Vena, Brian Feroldi).

Thanks. Some I have 1% some 5%. I’m working on getting a better balance. NNDM I have 12%! I put 50k in, took 10k profit. Bought back in spending another 40k, now that is down 23%. I’m ok DD, I want to be firmly invested without all these long term speculative holds. I’ll still hold a few. I’m 63, so…. I have too many PM recos, for now. Want to get even on some and put the $ into my Vanguard and other ETF’s. Amazon, and my Apple holds. Waiting for correction to come back, Jeff

I didn’t forget about your NNDM hold. It’s all house money though right? I make notes to remind me which holdings I already took my initial investment off the table. Although what’s it matter???

At one point I was all house money with NNDM, but they did multiple share offering that I could not get into as they required huge $, so taking that as a good sign on a stock I think is a winner I bought more. I really believe they are going to start displacing other chip makers.

My MARA trailing stop triggered today, expectedly. Sold about a third of what I had left, now just a lot of house money on the table. I may sell more when it gets up to 47.

I don’t know what multiple share offering is or why it requires big $ . I just buy my equity on Schwab and that’s it. Good for you on your MARA.

Companies don’t issue all their shares at once (usually). They will have shares on their books that are not issued, or can create these shares. They then can raise money by issuing these shares. They will go through brokerage houses to place the shares in the market. This is seen as a negative by many as it dilutes current shareholders stake in the company. However, if they raise capital and do something with it, it can be a great sign.

NNDM did one of these, and they did a direct offering of the shares. When I read about it I called Think Equity, who I’ve gotten IPOs through in the past, to see if I could get in on this. Minimum buy was $50 million. They raised $150 million. So there was some huge investor interest in this that boxed out little guys like me.

I don’t recall the price on the shelf-offering, but it was below what it was trading on the market. If I recall it was trading at $12ish, but the offer was $10.

I had to rebuild my portfolio last year. I went for quite a few (70%) defensive stock that pay dividends. Because I can see buying pressure on them from all the retiring boomer generation. And I can use the dividends to sporadically by growth stock. An other reason to go that route is that I might have to sell some stock in the next few year to buy a house and you don’t to plan on selling growth stock for the foreseeable future.

Remember, no mater all the (good) advice people are giving, you are the only one responsible for your money.

Laurens makes a good point. You have to identify your objective(s).

At the end of each year I do a look back and look ahead. Did I accomplish my goal last year? What’s my goal this year? Of course, no battle plan survives contact with the enemy, so you adjust off the original plan, but you have to know your ultimate objective.

Mine this year was to assume the S&P does well at 17%, and I want to handed my beat it with 34%. And a plan to take profits each month if I’m ahead of the goal to move $ to 1) pay off a debt or 2) have it in a stable asset or alternative asset. Basically that’s it, but with more detail.

Lauren’s has a new home objective, so he’s got to shift to safety unless his objective of a new home is in the distant future.

Just so no one guides off of my risk tolerance — I am being very aggressive despite my age because I have security in my 401(k) and other assets. I’m really just trying to make a killing so I can have a better retirement — but if all these stocks went in the crapper, I’d not suffer. So, consider this in analyzing all my comments here.

For some reason, for the past 3.5 weeks, stocks has been so sensitive to yields. Premarket today, TLT/IEF dropped a little, and pretty much all of PM’s recs fell along with it “immediately”. But if you look at TLT/IEF charts, bond prices has been falling for quite some time (since August, 2020), and stocks rallied.
In the past, when TLT/IEF dropped, stocks go up, moving inversely, Now treasuries go down, stocks go down too. Confusing….

It’s the sharp “spike” in rates and not just the fact they have been rising.
There has always been this tug of war between bond yields and stock prices. They call it the capital asset pricing model.
What the bond market experienced over the last few weeks is significant in terms of percentage increase in rates. Fact is, stocks tend to do better when rates are rising- gradually. That is reflective of an improving economy.
So the million dollar question is, “how much, if any, inflation will appear in the economy??”

Anyone know why 100X ICCC is not quoting today. Maybe I missed something about a listing change or something.

Having to be selective on opening positions bc I’ve been averaging down on existing the last few weeks. Been tracking WWR and ICCC but haven’t done much DD on either. Sounds like good news for ICCC but would love to hear anyone’s case for either one.
