CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2015 / Typically many investors “sell in May and go away,” which traditionally means that the summer months can tend to be a bit slower than average. However, this may not be the case during the early day of America’s hotter months. In fact, stocks that historically have seen light to moderate trading activity are now seeing the reverse of that; moderate to high activity. Many of these penny stocks can be found in all different sectors including biotechnology, mining and metals, the marijuana industry, and even the services industry. Companies like US Precious Metals (OTC: USPR), Speed Commerce Inc. (NASDAQ: SPDC), and Enviro-Serv, Inc. (OTC: EVSV) have all seen their fair share of positive movement within the market for penny stocks during the early parts of the summer.

US Precious Metals saw one of its highest days of volume during Tuesday’s session. The stock hit highs of $0.199 and traded well above its 30-day average after closing out the day with 1.85million shares traded. The Company focuses on its drilling program in Michoacan, Mexico and owns exploration and exploitation concessions to approximately 37,000 contiguous acres of mineral rights. In their most recent shareholder update, David Burney, USPR’s geologist, stated, “We are seeing significant zones of mineralization with Bornite, Pyrite and Chalcopyrite clearly visible. This is indicative with what we have seen from our prior drilling campaigns and we are eagerly awaiting the assay results to confirm our observations.”

Speed Commerce has also seen heavier trading volumes in the market. In fact on Tuesday the stock traded roughly 3 times its 30-day average volume and saw highs of $0.37. This is nearly 85% higher than where the stock was trading at this time in May. Positive findings from its recently filed SEC 10-K show that the company has grown. Financial highlights include an increase in net revenues by 53% to $36.6 million compared to the same Q4 in 2014, a gross profit margin increase of 290 basis points to just over 25% compared to the same period in the prior year’s fiscal results, and an overall increase in revs by 12% in Speed Commerce’s Fiscal 2015 compared to the of its 2014. “Our fiscal fourth quarter was a very productive recovery from our challenging holiday season,” said Richard Willis, president & CEO of Speed Commerce. “Our operations team has done a remarkable job increasing efficiencies and delivering great service to our customers.”

Enviro-Serv saw continued momentum during the first few days of summer. The stock closed up 28.57% from it’s opening price on Tuesday. The last announcement made by the company included a plan to close on its franchise deal with Pestermaster Services on or before June 30, 2015. Over the course of the last year, Enviro-Serv has been working to attain proper funding in order to push forward with development plans within its pest control division through the Xterminate subsidiary. “Management is optimistic on the future of this new agreement and anticipates the participation in more federal opportunities in the future. The consummation between X-Terminate and Pestmaster Services demonstrates the overall focus that the Company has in generating significant revenues during the remainder of 2015 with an emphasis placed on the upcoming busy season for pest control in the State of Florida.”

CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 24, 2015 / Since the beginning of May, small cap stocks have presented profitable returns for retail investors. It is very important that investors understand that the more diverse their portfolios are, the more they eliminate the risk of putting all their eggs in one basket. For example, penny stocks in the marijuana and energy sectors of the market seem to be the frontrunners for retail investors. As oil prices continue to struggle, and Cannabis continues to grow in popularity in the United States, retail investors have been able to flip a quick profit on these small cap stocks.

FBEC Worldwide Inc. (OTC:FBEC) an ancillary canna-company that offers consumers a H.E.M.P infused energy shot, has grabbed the attention of investors after recently entering an agreement with California-based J&D Labs, Inc. to start manufacturing hemp-based nutraceuticals. Robert Sand, Chairman and CEO of FBEC quoted, “We are making a commitment with J&D Labs that would meet our longer term objectives in manufacturing our future hemp-based nutraceutical products.”

In the last 30 days FBEC has presented investors with potential for 500% in price increases from lows of $0.02 on May 26th to highs of $0.12 on June 10th. FBEC is currently trading between $0.06-$0.09.

While still on the topic of the cannabis space, a company similar to FBEC in the hemp infused beverage industry, Totally Hemp Crazy Inc. (OTC:THCZ) recently announced the company has recorded its largest quarterly revenues ever, driven by brisk sales and a rapidly expanding distribution network. There are a total of 21 distributors nationwide, across 13 states, now selling the Rocky Mountain High beverage. Founder of THCZ, Jerry Grisaffi states,”THCZ has come a long way in just a few short months of selling our Rocky Mountain High hemp-infused beverage products,” he also was quoted, “We expect to sign a few more distributors before the end of this month, and we have our products in several foreign countries evaluating them for potential distribution agreements. Sales have been so brisk that a fourth production run is scheduled for July, and this will be the largest production run in Company history with an expected output of over one million cans.”

Aside from marijuana stocks, energy stocks have also seen their fair share of popularity growth. Companies like Powerdyne International Inc. (OTC:PWDY) have begun to draw a lot of eyes to it. The Company announced earlier in the year that it successfully completed its installation of the first PDI Power Solution. The goal is to provide a more cost effective and reliable power source. CEO of PWDY, Jim O’Rourke stated, “This was a critical installation for Powerdyne because it will act as an operational model for the Caribbean market. Additionally, this will keep us in step with our plans to open up the California market in the 1st Quarter of 2016.”

Since this news was released, the stock has seen a price jump of 75% from its lows of $0.0004 to its current trading price of $0.0007.
