TWRT Makes A Huge Move


It's official: My first stock double, and then some! TWRT has broken out to nearly $12 since our entry this spring at $4.35, mostly in the last 30 days. Acquisition of Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc., a manufacturer of gearing systems for wind turbine, oil and gas, and energy related industries, seemed to be the catalyst for the move. The deal closed on Oct 22 and TWRT has been on the move since the deal was announced back in August. Also acquired in this time frame was RBA, Inc., another fabricator of components for the energy related industry. TWRT has also strengthened its senior leadership team. TWRT is doing all the right things and I believe, good or bad, investors are starting to notice!

Current Holdings

My brother asked me to look into some speculative alternative energy stocks a few weeks ago and I started sifting through lists of small companies. I focused on the wind sector as it just made a lot more sense to me the long run. These are the two companies that grabbed my attention.
MMGW -Reports to be profitable very soon, patents on designs
TWRT -Ramping up for increased demand.
So we started a position in these two. My brother offered a "tip" in IOGH. So here are the current holdings:

MMGW @.60
TWRT @4.35
IOGH @.12
MKRS @.87
FRPT @18.38

FRPT is my fault...I should have sold at $30, but my love for this company just wouldn't let me sell. These guys are down, but not out and I expect the share price to rebound soon. As for IOGH, all I have to say is "Gee, Thanks for the tip, Bro!"
But, with the Dow retracing back to the 13.2K area I'll take my lumps with everyone else.
