NXT Nutritionals Looks Like a Sweet Deal

On Financial Tides I usually don't look at small speculative stocks but the technicals on this are too good to pass. Please follow my stop loss recommendation.

As described on Yahoo Finance: NXT Nutritionals Holdings, Inc. (NXTH.OB) through its subsidiary, NXT Nutritionals, Inc., develops and markets alternative sweetening systems, and other food and beverage products. Its products include SUSTA Nectar, a table top sweetener alternative; SUSTA ingredient for beverages, cereals, baked goods, dairy products, candies, and chewing gums; and NXT/SUSTA branded products, including beverages, water, nutritional bars, and supplements, as well as Healthy Dairy smoothies that are SUSTA-enhanced yogurt smoothies. SUSTA is a low glycemic index nutritional sweetening system, which is a blend of inulin fiber, fructose, botanical extracts, natural flavors, vitamins, minerals, and probiotics. The company is based in Holyoke, Massachusetts.

NXTH is new and has yet to make a profit but I have heard a marketing plug on the radio so I became interested. No analysts are following this stock.

BarChart's 13 technical indicators have this 12 out of 13 buys with only one hold. The stock has hit 20 new highs in the last 20 days and of course is 5 for 5 this week. The price appreciation has been 194% in the last 65 days.

Recommendation: This is a highly, highly speculative play and is only for someone who wants to take a gamble not an investment. Buy NTX Nutritional Holdings -- NXTH -- around 3.25 and put a moving stop loss at no less than 2.75. Monitor this one closely and protect yourself by moving that stop loss daily.

Disclosure: I hold no positions in NXTH at the time of this publication.

I have never seen a stock go up like this one is. Non stop of r 40 days straight? Holy Moly. When does the correction start. I understand why you say watch daily, this could be done any day & correct.

This comapny is a prime example of why I encourage everyone to not swim naked. Always have a protective stop loss in place. Jim Van Meerten http:financialtides.bl...

What the hell happened to this stock today? I bought today, hoping to catch this stock while it was still accelerating. Good thing I put a stop loss at $2.50!

Itis accelerating....to the downside.....

I'm not sure what is happening? I said I was fascinated and frightened by this stock and said it was very highly speculative. The market action is crazy given the recent press release.

There is more to this stock than meets the eye. I'm sure we will read about this on in the news

Has anyone got any idea on why the wide swing price action recently?

They announced a 2 for 1 split and got hammered

Same thing happened to UIS on the same day. They announced a reverse 1 for 10 and also got hammered. Interestingly enough, both made most of the losses back on the next trading day...today.

I doubled up on NXTH and enjoyed the immediate comeback

This may very well be a speculative play, but I don't believe that it's "highly speculative." They have products on the shelves, and the customer feedback has been excellent so-far.

Another speculative play that I like is Sirius XM. It's selling for about .50 a share. I believe most of their suffering is a direct result of the new car sales slump. I look for them to rebound nicely in the first quarter of 2010.

It looks like that stock is now building its basement around 1.90 or 2.00. Investors seem very cautious because the fall that happened on October 26th is still very recent but the company has so much potential. They are only at their beginning.

Jim, you've promoted a blatant pump and dump...either you're in on it or too dumb to realize it...either way, you should apologize to thousands of people for your ignorance and/or corruption...tell us, did you get paid to pump this stock?

Has anyone found out whether Charles Payne shorted the stock after recommending it? Something really stinks here.

Timothy,

I agree that NXTH has been manipulated and Jim was probably not aware of it, just like many of us. Anyway he warned us about it. In order to have a good working pump&dump, manipulators need to select a company with some potential. That is why so many people promote it.

If you guys want to see another pump&dump, just watch CLRH.OB. Same pattern, same manipulation. I have'nt found to many promotions about that company. That the reason I think manipulators and promoters work independantly.

That stock will bounce back eventually. NXT Nutritionals are not responsible for these crazy trading activities done by day-traders in search of a quick gain. It's a buy&hold thing. Management team is strong and they have an interesting product.

I agree, Clear-Lite like NXT Nutritionals has a great product but It will collapse eventually. Manipulators take control for some time but this will not affect the companies on the long run.

I agree with you guys 100% looks like NXTH & CLRH might be pump & dump but the ride sure is exciting

Timothy Sykes - when I say speculative I really do mean that. It;s a flyer not and investment or even a day trade.
