AZCO Poised for Significant Breakout
The situation at Azco is turning potentially explosive... That's what a move beyond the recent short term highs could do for this issue.
Why might this happen? The recent run-up on huge volume didn't happen by accident. It is a forerunner of much greater things ahead including being promoted to a higher exchange that for the time being will likely be the NASDAQ OTCBB Bulletin Board. How big a move is that? Last year we did a study of the effect of stocks that have an 'E' added to their symbols that are delinquent in their filings and this is akin to a warning that if you don't get your financials straightened out, you are headed for the Pink Sheets or the other OTC (Over-the-Counter) market. Much of the time stocks with an 'E' or extension generally get things worked out and our extensive study revealed that many issues with an 'E' soared by as much as 800%, which is really quite amazing when you think about it.
So, what happens when stocks get demoted to a lower exchange? Invariably they get hammered - And to the smart money that can create unbelievable buying opportunities. See what happened to Health South HLSH which fell from $4.00 to 6 cents before soaring 100 fold over the next year.
Donald Trump's DJTC just got demoted and its future has yet to unfold and right now not even the new publicity stemming from Apprentice II is likely to save that one anytime soon. Still, it is definitely well worth watching because it is a very heavily traded issue...
So where does this leave Azco Mining Inc AZMN? In a very interesting position where it is likely about to be promoted to a higher exchange and that in a way equates to not only being akin to having an 'E' on the end of its symbol while it has been straightening out its financials, but keep in mind, Azco's demotion was not really of its own making but was a really an unfortunate development relating to the Sarbanes Oxley act, which Azco inherited and in spite of receiving a generous extension from the Nasdaq Listing Overseers to help maintain its then status quo, it was just not feasibly possible to accomplish everything related to what amounted to a second and virtually identical audit which as we all found out, by virtue of the time it has taken to actually get all the audit parties to sign off satisfactorily, took a while, but has been a potentially huge positive in the making, because, by virtue of the fact that Azco was not summarily hammered, instead it has been building the mother of all bases over the past two years, reflecting incredible longer term investor confidence in this issue, which came to a head just several weeks ago as Azco virtually doubled from its lows overnight and has since pulled back a bit from higher levels to really just re-test the recent breakout from what was formerly significant resistance at .15. As one of our star technical analysts pointed out a few days ago, there might be a short term risk of a small sharp pullback to the .16 level that would essentially present investors with what might be their last chance to buy Azco under .20 cents, prior to what looks like could be a spectacular run-up to multiple dollars in line with what the technical projections off this awesome base are portending. And, does getting promoted to a higher exchange mean what might be termed a significant increase in the price of this stock? Does that mean we get "Un-hammered"? It cannot be ruled out... If an 'E' can cause a stock to run up 800% in anticipation, I guess Azco can look forward to significantly higher prices as it begins what is going to be essentially a second life for this issue.
Remember what happened to Clifton Mining Inc CFTN: It had just an 18 Month base compared to Azco's 22 Month base and that went all the way from almost the same levels Azco is currently at to almost $3.00. So: What made CFTN rally so vigorously to $3.00? Acquisitions and development of same and a realization that this company had a lot more than meets the eye behind the veneer...
Back in the early days of 2004 another virtually unknown entity named Aberdeen Mines ABRM announced that it was intent on or in negotiations to make acquisitions of Precious Metals and Minerals properties and the stock almost tripled overnight and went on a tear to the upside, virtually from that day on...
Again, interesting to note the kind of meteoric ascent that took place off that base, that in spite of overshooting is still very valuable.
So, an almost overlooked clause definitely sparks interest in the recent Azco Mining Inc press release of September 7 2004 follows:
"Chief Executive Dr. Pierce Carson stated that returning to current reporting status will be essential for the company to be able to aggressively move ahead with its strategic agenda, including acquiring precious and base metal assets, arranging financing for its mica operation and creating value for shareholders."
He has also declared in his mission statement on Azco Mining's recently upgraded website:
Mission Statement
"I intend to redirect the strategic future of this company to include identification and acquisition of high quality Gold, Silver and Copper resources".
Dr. W. Pierce Carson
President and CEO
Azco Mining Inc
Since Dr Carson with a PhD from Stanford University, regarded as the crème de la crème of mining schools in the entire World, is one of the most accomplished explorationists of our time with an enviable list of major discoveries and developments to his credit, this new statement should be taken very seriously in light of the performance of some of these related issues based on their developments.
The extra-base length suggests that Azco could potential run as high as $3.75 on this run which would be the equivalent of new all time highs for this issue. But the better news for Azco's investors is one of the lesser known 'Golden Rules' of technical analysis which dictates that invariably, a stock recovering from any new lows back to new all time highs, invariably doubles the range: Which mathematically, would put us back in the $7 ~ $8 range, which curiously is more or less now approximately equal to the estimated 'net' value of Azco's current proven in-ground assets. But that's not all. When a stock with such recovery momentum gets up towards $10, that major milestone tends to act like a magnet pulling prices higher and when $10 breaks, it usually means the stock is headed for the teens and once that happens, if the fundamentals are there to support it, the action can become really spectacular and there can be literally 'no limits on the upside as to how high an issue can go and three exceptional examples of this are Headwaters Inc which we actually recommended at below $1 back in 2000, Action Performance Companies from near the lows soon thereafter and more recently Industrial Services of America at around $11.00 earlier this year...
