Announcing that The Meehan Report will be moving to its new home.

Update: The Small Cap Investor
My intention was to have www.thesmallcapinvestor.com fully functional by now. However, the development process is taking longer than I anticipated. We were not able to get started as soon as I first thought and the actual site development has become a more robust platform from my original thoughts. The process just takes time and we are getting there, slowly but surely.
Upon completion, the website will be the premier destination for locating relevant information on small cap stocks. The site will have news and information on stocks that have available research on the site. There will also be news on other small cap stocks that we don't have research on.
There is a section titled "TSCI Street Pulse" where we have a number of market professionals who will be writing columns on small cap stocks, trading strategies, the markets, etc.
Through the section titled "TSCI Subscriber's Voice", we will have a platform for individual investors to be heard. Subscriber's can submit their column to our editorial staff and we will keep a flow of ideas on the front page.
There will be a chat room for investors to gather and discuss stocks, trading and other on-topic ideas. There will be a customizable portfolio tracker enabling investors to get their research reports, trading strategies, communications, stock quotes and small cap news all in a single location.
I will be posting The Meehan Report via www.thesmallcapinvestor.com as soon as it is up and running. Immediate access will be reserved for Premium Members and everyone else can get my report on a 24 hour delay.
I am hopeful to have several dozen research reports when we launch. Some analysts are waiting to see the site before they commit. Once they see the final product, I think there will be more than a few analysts that will want to place their content on the platform. Premium subscribers will have full access and Free subscribers can purchase Proprietary Equity reports on a per download basis. Sponsored Equity Research will be available to everyone, free of charge.
We are hoping to have it up and running within the next 2-3 weeks. It will be a resource like no other on the internet once we launch. If you have not already signed up, go ahead and sign up. It is free and as soon as something is available, we will have you in the system already.

OPTIMIZERx Corp (OPRX)
On February 4, 2009, I released the first Sponsored Equity Report for the Research Division at Meehan Capital. The featured company, OPTIMZERx Corporation, is a very interesting investment opportunity that has a nice upside. The Company has filed to become reporting and to date has done ZERO communications with the investment public. I understand that they may start to attend investment conferences and work a road show upon their SEC Registration Statement going effective. They filed it in November and have answered a couple of comments and now are just waiting to clear the SEC. I anticipate that they could be effective in the next 30 days.
To review the report, please visit: Meehan Capital Equity Research
--------------------
I am hoping to have an update on CryoPort ready in the next week or so. I am working my channels and things appear to be heading in a very good direction, but everything is being kept very tight lipped right now. I will see what I can find out and report back as soon as I hear something of merit.
--------------------
For those of you who are wondering when The Small Cap Investor website will be up and running, we are shooting for March 1, 2009 - but it will be tight. We are working out the final conditions for a marketing program with ValueClick (NASDAQ: VCLK) to take our subscriber base over 50,000 members before the summer.
If you have not already signed up for The Small Cap Investor, just visit the site and sign up. (If you already recieve FCI News Alerts, we will migrate your information over so no need to worry.)
It should get interesting very soon!!

The Small Cap Investor Update
At the request of several people, I have decided to re-start The Small Cap Investor website and I am going to be focusing my attention on "Under The Radar" stocks.
Through an online marketing program, I am developing a large opt-in subscriber stock trader database ... aka, my "traderbase". I expect that the traderbase will be maintained somewhere around 50,000 subscribers. I will be talking stock selections, trading strategies, publishing research and more on small companies that don't receive much exposure and whom I believe offer interesting trading opportunities.
For some companies that I follow I will receive compensation ("Sponsored Research"), for others I will not ("Proprietary Research"). As always, if I have any type ownership, compensation, or other conflict, etc., it will be disclosed. And for the record, I will usually have some type of conflict as I also want to trade these stocks as well.
As many of you know, my focus for the last decade has been primarily focused on the small cap sector. Based on my experience in working as a consultant to over two dozen small cap companies, my belief is that many lightly followed stocks in this sector can experience signficant price appreciation if investors become focused on them and have the ability to buy stock.
My goal is not to simply get short term liquidity into a stock. Although stocks may trade with price volatility and volume changes as a side effect of my coverage, my goal is to introduce investors to stocks that are under the radar and would otherwise go unnoticed. Of course, some of these investors will be short term and some will be long term, but regardless of which type of investor they are, when 50,000 investors decide that a stock that trades under the radar needs to get noticed, it will get noticed in a BIG way.
The service will be 100% free to investors. Once the program is up and running, I will offer additional services for subscribers who wish to upgrade to a "Premium Account". Premium accounts will only cost $99 per year. I believe this cost could be recovered in a single trade. Premium accounts will have full download access to proprietary research, additional resources on the website and will receive The Meehan Report delivered real-time. In the future, Premium Members will receive invitations to conferences, special events and the like.
The Meehan Report will be changing focus and will no longer be a free online blog. It will become my primary communiction tool for trading commentary. The Meehan Report will be delivered to Premium Members upon completion of writing. Subscribers who are part of the "free" traderbase will also receive The Meehan Report, however, it will be on a 24-hr delayed basis.
The platform will have 3 primary components: 1) Research 2) The Small Cap Investor Newsletter and 3) The Meehan Report.
1) RESEARCH: When I see an opportunity in a stock, I will issue a research report with commentary on the stock and why I think it offers an opportunity for price appreciation (or conversely, if I really dislike a stock, why I would short it). I will provide updates to my coverage stocks any time that it seems relevant to do so.
2) NEWSLETTER: I will bring back The Small Cap Investor newsletter. I currently anticipate this will be monthly, but it will depend on how much time it takes me to write and how big it gets.
3) THE MEEHAN REPORT: When I see a piece of interesting news on a stock that I have an interest in, I will send it out to my traderbase. Topics such as trading strategies, news updates, arbitrage opportunities, etc. will all be fair game. I currently expect this to be the primary communication piece.
Again, 50,000 investors with the abillity to buy or sell stock has a lot of power. And, "In The World Of Investments, Knowledge Is Power".
I am currently designing the new website and the layout of communications to members. However, I have set up the database for those who want to get signed up. Again, it is 100% FREE, no strings attached. Premium upgrades are not yet available, but will be as soon as the site goes live.

Hope to see your name on my list real soon!

OPTIMIZERx (OTCPK: OPRX)
As per the terms of the $3.5 million funding agreement that it received in September, OPTIMIZERx filed its Form S-1 with the SEC on Monday. (I didn't see the filing show up on EDGAR, so I called the Company and they indicated that it was filed late in the day and would not show up until Wednesday due to Veterans Day.) The filing clears the way for the Company to eventually move to NASDAQ once the registration statement is deemed effective by the regulatory bodies.
Although OPTIMIZERx is still a young company, the management team is a group of seasoned veterans and they have aligned with company with a couple of the largest players in the industry through their partnership with Cegedim Dendrite (Paris: CGM) and also S&H Digital of Sudler & Hennessey, a division of WPP Group (NASDAQ: WPPGY or London: WPP).
Cegedim Dendrite (www.dendrite.com) provides pharmaceutical companies around the world with vital support for successful Customer Relationship Management (CRM) activities. With nearly 200,000 sales representatives using its products worldwide, Cegedim Dendrite is the world's leading CRM provider for the life sciences industry. This business unit, created in May 2007 when the France-based CEGEDIM S.A. Group acquired Dendrite International, also provides sales, marketing and regulatory compliance solutions in more than 80 countries.
Sudler & Hennessey (www.sudler.com) is a global healthcare marketing and communications organization with offices around the world. The network includes two global communications agencies – Sudler & Hennessey, with U.S. headquarters in New York City, and Sentrix Global Health Communications, with U.S. headquarters in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey. S&H also has specialized divisions in medical education (IntraMed Educational Group, Precept Medical Communications, and Current Medical Directions), as well as in market research and strategic planning, branding, publication strategies, sales training (HealthAnswers), and digital solutions (S&H Digital).
I think this Company bears taking a very close look at for those who want to get into a small company that has not yet been put in front of the masses. The market that they serve is enormous and they are positioning themselves right in front of a massive wave as the baby boomer generation ages and prescription medications become a larger component of everyday life.
DISCLOSURE: I am a consultant to OPTIMIZERx and own stock in the Company. On my First Capital Investors website I have an investor fact sheet available on their client page @ http://www.firstcapitalinvestors.com/client_optimizerx.php

Announcement: The Small Cap Investor Is Back
At the request of several people, I have decided to re-start The Small Cap Investor website and I am going to be focusing my attention on "Under The Radar" stocks.
The way it will work is this: Through an aggressive marketing program, I will develop a large opt-in subscriber stock trader database ... aka, my "traderbase". I expect that the traderbase will be somewhere around 50,000 members. I will be making stock selections that I believe offer interesting trading opportunities. For some picks I will receive compensation, for others I will not.
As always, if I have any type of conflict of interest, it will be disclosed. And for the record, I will usually have some type of conflict as I want to own these stocks as well. Assuming that I like a stock, if a company wants to pay me to introduce it to my traderbase, even better!
As many of you know, my focus for the last decade has been primarily focused on the small cap sector. Based on my experience in working as a consultant to over two dozen small cap companies, my belief is that many lightly followed stocks in this sector can experience signficant price appreciation if investors become focused on them and have the ability to buy stock.

Some of these investors will be short term, some will be long term. Regardless of which type of investor they are, when 50,000 investors decide that a stock that trades under the radar needs to get noticed, it will get noticed in a BIG way.
In the beginning the service will be 100% free to investors. Note: I reserve the right to offer additional services for a fee in the future, as well as conferences and the like, but in the beginning everything will be free.
The platform will have 3 primary components: 1) Research & Commentary, 2) Newsletter and 3) News Alerts.
1) RESEARCH & COMMENTARY: When I see an opportunity in a stock, I will issue a research report with commentary on the stock and why I think it offers an opportunity for price appreciation (or conversely, if I really dislike a stock, why I would short it). I will provide updates to my coverage stocks any time that it seems relevant to do so.
2) NEWSLETTER: I will bring back The Small Cap Investor newsletter. Presently, I am not sure if this will be quarterly or monthly as it will depend on how much time it takes me to write and how big it gets.
3) NEWS ALERTS: When I see a piece of interesting news on a stock that I have an interest in, I will send it out to my traderbase.

CryoPort, Inc. (OTCBB: CYRX)
Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my.
DuPont and Quest and Mayo ... OH MY!
I think that we will start to see operations begin to follow the news over the next 90 days. Be on the lookout for a build up of inventory and subsequent revenues.
As more people begint to learn about this company, in my opinion, the stock will begin to react. I think at this point it is simply a matter of time.
Six months ago, the train was moved from the storage shed to the trainyard. Two months ago, it pulled into the station. Now it is getting filled with fuel and preparing to leave the station. The train's name is: The CryoPort Express.
Out.

Update: Gateway International Holdings
After a much anticipated 2 year waiting period, I am pleased to report that on Wednesday, October 1, 2008, Gateway International Holdings, became a fully reporting Company once again by filing its Form 10k annual report with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
I wish to extend a word of congratulations to Tim Consalvi, CEO and Chairman of Gateway Int'l. Tim inherited a difficult sitution and has worked diligently to get the Company back in compliance with the SEC. I would also like to thank Steve Kasprisin, who in April returned to assist the Company as a contract CFO. Steve assisted the Company through the filing requirements and I am quite sure that Tim and the Board leaned heavily on Steve for his expertise in these regards.
Now the question is "When will the Company's stock begin trading again?" I have not received comment from the Company on this regard, but based on standard procedures, I would guess that right now the Company is in process of getting a broker/dealer to file a 15c2-11 with FINRA. Once this filing is cleared, the stock could begin trading.
I look forward to seeing this stock trade again. Prior to the SEC's deregistration of the Company's securities, the stock traded as high as $2.35 per share. Based on the information included in the 10k, this price might be a little high given the current economy, but I would not be surprised at all to see the stock settle around $1.50 per share when it begins trading. Last year the Company achieved almost $19.5 million in revenues. There were a lot of non-standard costs that were charged against earnings last year, including legal and filing fees. Historically, the Company has average around 12% pre-tax profit. Not assuming any growth, but simply maintaining during the upcoming 12 months, if the Company achieves 12% margins on equivalent sales, we would expect around $2.35M in profits. On a per share basis, based on reported TSO of 28,378,645, this would equate to approximately $0.083 of earnings per share. The stock has historically experienced internal growth over 25% per year based on ongoing operations. Rather than use aggressive estimates, assume a high end rate of 25% and a low end growth rate of 15%. Utilizing a PEG ratio of 1 (typical value investor model), that would indicate a stock with a fair value in the range of $1.25 to $2.07 per share (hence my middle of the road target of $1.50 per share).
I have liked this little "nuts and bolts" company for a long time. Clients in the MCMG Private Client Group own a fair amount of stock in this company and I remain increasingly optimistic that this investment will provide a very nice, time weighted return.
Disclosure: Through First Capital Investors, I provided consulting services to Gateway Int'l from 2003 thru 2007. I was one of the largest open market purchasers of the stock from 2003 thru 2005 and have purchased shares in private transactions since the deregistration. I continue to hold all of my shares. I have not worked with the Company at any time during 2008.
I wish to extend a word of congratulations to Tim Consalvi, CEO and Chairman of Gateway Int'l. Tim inherited a difficult sitution and has worked diligently to get the Company back in compliance with the SEC. I would also like to thank Steve Kasprisin, who in April returned to assist the Company as a contract CFO. Steve assisted the Company through the filing requirements and I am quite sure that Tim and the Board leaned heavily on Steve for his expertise in these regards.
Now the question is "When will the Company's stock begin trading again?" I have not received comment from the Company on this regard, but based on standard procedures, I would guess that right now the Company is in process of getting a broker/dealer to file a 15c2-11 with FINRA. Once this filing is cleared, the stock could begin trading.
I look forward to seeing this stock trade again. Prior to the SEC's deregistration of the Company's securities, the stock traded as high as $2.35 per share. Based on the information included in the 10k, this price might be a little high given the current economy, but I would not be surprised at all to see the stock settle around $1.50 per share when it begins trading. Last year the Company achieved almost $19.5 million in revenues. There were a lot of non-standard costs that were charged against earnings last year, including legal and filing fees. Historically, the Company has average around 12% pre-tax profit. Not assuming any growth, but simply maintaining during the upcoming 12 months, if the Company achieves 12% margins on equivalent sales, we would expect around $2.35M in profits. On a per share basis, based on reported TSO of 28,378,645, this would equate to approximately $0.083 of earnings per share. The stock has historically experienced internal growth over 25% per year based on ongoing operations. Rather than use aggressive estimates, assume a high end rate of 25% and a low end growth rate of 15%. Utilizing a PEG ratio of 1 (typical value investor model), that would indicate a stock with a fair value in the range of $1.25 to $2.07 per share (hence my middle of the road target of $1.50 per share).

OPTIMIZERx (OTCPK: OPRX) announced today that it plans to partner with S&H Digital to launch the newest platform to assist in drug promotion and compliance: ADHERxE.
Full press release: OPTIMIZERx to Partner with Sudler and Hennessey.
Many people may not have heard of S&H Digital, but this is actually a very BIG development. S&H Digital is the interactive division of Sudler & Hennessey, which is one of the over 100 companies that make up the WPP GROUP (NASDAQ: WPPGY).
WPP Group, www.WPP.com is a global communications firm based out of London. WPP Group is one of the world's largest communications services groups, with more than 110,000 people working in over 2,000 offices in 106 countries.

This is a very important step for OPTIMIZERx as it further builds their brand and helps to put the company in front of every major pharmaceutical manufacturer on the planet.
Recently, OPTIMIZERx announced that they had received $3.5 million in funding from Midtown Partners & Co. LLC a FINRA member and SIPC Broker/Dealer. Given the current credit environment, this funding is looking even more impressive.
Full Press Release: OPTIMIZERx Closes $3.5M Funding
Stay tuned. This one could get interesting.
DISCLAIMER: I handle some public relations services for OPTIMIZERx and received a few restricted shares shortly after they became a public company. I have never sold any stock in this company and have no intention of doing so at this time. I just happen to really like the company and its management, so I agreed to help them on their public relations efforts, primarily regarding their press releases at this time.
