Strong global buy demand is being demonstrated in the World Gold Council's recent release of their January and February official gold holdings statistics. Author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," public speaker, and publisher of the industry leading "Penny Stocks to Buy" newsletter cites the gold report as further evidence that gold prices will increase from current levels, and several of his precious metals penny stocks could be the beneficiaries.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/21/2012 -- The World Gold Council has released their latest buy and sell statistics for January and February, 2012. A total of 12 tons of gold have been bought and reported over the two months, with purchases from Belarus (buy of 3.7 tons), Kazakhstan (buy of 9.8 tons), and Turkey (buy of 2.8 tons), with sales from Russia (3.8 tons) and Mexico (0.2 tons), for example.

This compares to further net buy demand from the last six months of 2011, where Russia buy orders equaled 46.1 tons of gold. Buy orders from Turkey over that same time frame equaled 79.3 tons of gold. Even small nations like Thailand had net buy orders, picking up 24.9 tons of gold.

"Gold buy demand is continuing in the first two months of the year," mentions Peter Leeds, public speaker on topics about what penny stocks are, analyst in penny stocks, and publisher of the world famous Peter Leeds penny stocks to buy newsletter. "On top of last year's global buy demand for gold of over 4,000 net tons, many of the same nations have shown that they are still adding to their gold positions."

Leeds continues, "There is not a lot of gold above ground. If you took all the gold ever mined, and put it into one single cube, that cube would barely cover a tennis court. And of that 158,000 tons, only one fifth is in play, about 31,000 tons, being actively traded by central banks. Suddenly a purchase of 10 tons of gold from Kazakhstan becomes significant."

Leeds mentions that this is the first time in history that nations from all over the globe have started to buy gold, such as Malta, Ukraine, Belarus, Sri Lanka, an many others. He also states that this is the first time in over 20 years that European Unions have been net buyers, with the exception of Germany.

"We've long been expecting much higher gold prices, from years ago when you could buy gold for hundreds of dollars less per ounce. We still expect much higher levels for gold from here, and that is part of our analysis of the penny stocks we pick to buy, and our outlook for penny stocks in the gold production space."

Asked what will move gold prices higher besides the strong buy demand from global central banks, Leeds cites other factors:

1. People buy gold and gold penny stocks in times of uncertainty, and global economies have not been more uncertain in our lifetime

2. People buy gold and gold penny stocks as a hedge against inflation, and we expect a major global wave of inflation to appear very soon

3. Costs to buy gold increase as currencies suffer decreasing purchasing power

About the third point, Leeds explains that a basket of goods that cost $1,000 to buy in 1960 now costs $8,000. He says the purchasing power of the dollar has been falling, in lock step with further moves by American regulatory bodies to flood the system with new money and liquidity.

"Currently the American monetary supply is actually shrinking, not expanding, as so many would have you believe," states Leeds. "However, over the medium and longer term, more American dollars are in the system, and this causes the value of each to diminish. In the end, everything costs more to buy, from bikes to penny stocks to food to clothes. And of course, gold and precious metals."

Leeds and his team use their analysis to uncover penny stocks to buy. Many of his recent penny stocks to buy which he has profiled in his penny stocks newsletter are engaged in gold exploration and gold production. Neither Leeds nor any of his team members accept compensation in any form from the penny stocks they analyze and profile.

1. the best penny stocks to buy are NOT the garbage that you hear about for free

Investors will be in a holding pattern this spring, watching several important events to give them some direction for their investments and their economic outlook. These include, but are not limited to, the construction spending report by the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce, and the auto sales data from the Commerce Department. Expert on penny stocks Peter Leeds suggests that many of the events will help traders in micro cap shares decide which penny stocks to buy, and which penny stocks to avoid.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2012 -- Many upcoming events should give investors insight into the health of the economy. Some important ones, such as the Commerce Department's auto sales data, may demonstrate whether or not consumers have decided to buy big ticket items again. Others like the Census Bureau's construction spending report will also add further clarity. Both will be released on May 1st.

According to Peter Leeds, expert on penny stocks to buy, investors in stocks should take clues from the data. If the numbers show more people decided to buy cars and trucks in April, it could telegraph other strong reports coming up, which would all demonstrate that the economy is on the mend.

"The economy is getting better or it's not," states Leeds. "I suggest to subscribers of my penny stocks newsletter to watch the data before they buy anything. Strong data may signal it's time to buy - maybe buy a lot, maybe buy a little - depending on the numbers we see."

"Weak data on the other hand may suggest it's best to buy certain types of penny stocks, like defensive penny stocks such as pharmaceuticals, which aren't tied to economic strength as directly. You may want to not buy penny stocks that are consumer discretionary on the heels of weak reports."

Peter Leeds and his penny stocks team do not buy or sell any penny stocks they profile to subscribers of their newsletter. They also receive absolutely no compensation from the penny stocks they review or publish.

Asked what numbers are expected from the auto report, Leeds mentions that most analysts predict that in April 5.4 million cars and 5.7 million trucks will have been purchased. He goes on to suggest if the report shows that people buy more that expected, it could give many stocks a reactionary boost, penny stocks among them. On the other hand, if there is less buy activity it could be a wet blanket on penny stocks, and will affect what he suggests to subscribers to buy."

Leeds mentions some other upcoming reports as well, including: initial jobless claims, crude oil inventories, unemployment rate reports, and hourly earnings, among others. All of these are anticipated to be released by or prior to May 4th.

"We'll have a much better idea of where the economy stands, going into the spring. This will help guide out research into which penny stocks to buy and which penny stocks to avoid. We're watching many penny stocks right now for subscribers, and we'll know which ones we would like to buy in our opinion once we've had time to review the reports as they are released."

According to the Securities and Exchange Commission, two British teenage twins were running a massive scam, touting a robot that could pick penny stocks. With 75,000 investors falling for the lies, Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," reported their actions to authorities, and forwarded massive amounts of research and proof to the S.E.C. in a bid to stop their dishonest scam.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/01/2012 -- The S.E.C. reports that John Hunter and Thomas Hunter, twin teenagers from England, were running a massive scam in penny stocks by claiming they had a robot that could pick penny stocks profitably. With 75,000 victims falling for their online lies, the authorities have finally brought charges against the two with the case labelled SEC v. Hunter et al, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 12-03123.

One of the most active opponents to the Hunter scam was always Peter Leeds, authority on penny stocks, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and publisher of the world's most famous micro-cap newsletter, "Peter Leeds Penny Stocks."

Leeds encouraged many investors in penny stocks who were burned by the scam to report it to the S.E.C. He also reported the scam himself, along with links, letters, stats, and details that would expose and hopefully end the scam.

"Investors would come to us by the dozen and lay out how the scam had tricked them, and we always encouraged those individuals to report the scam," states Leeds. "The worlds of the best penny stocks and this blatant scam had crossed paths, and we did what we could to put an end to this imaginary robot."

"Before the scam was a robot that picked penny stocks, it was actually a robot that played poker," explains Leeds. "You can even look at archived web pages of the scam before they decided to make it about penny stocks."

Leeds confirms that he also sent the archived links to the S.E.C.

"One problem with this scam was that it stretched from overseas. We had to report it to special international departments that watched the scam from beyond the borders of America."

Leeds goes on to mention that, "the problem isn't the scam. The problem is that people actually believe this stuff! There's not 75,000 victims, there's 75,000 people who should know better. I'm always amazed at how so many people buy into the dishonest stuff out there, whether it has to do with penny stocks or otherwise. Of course there isn't a robot that is picking penny stocks!"

"A scam is a scam. Scams come in all forms, but every scam comes down to the same thing. Liars lie, and desperate victims believe what they want. Whether the scam is in penny stocks, or swampland real estate in Florida, it's all the same concept."

Leeds mentions that the best way to avoid a scam in penny stocks is to avoid any penny stocks you hear about for free. Also, only buy the high quality types of penny stocks like the fundamentally solid ones that Peter Leeds and his penny stocks team profile for subscribers of their penny stocks newsletter.

Author and public speaker Peter Leeds, an expert on penny stocks to buy, warns investors to avoid what he calls "story stocks." Many penny stocks have a great story, and investors buy significantly overpriced shares, without looking at the penny stock's fundamentals. Usually very weak penny stocks not only have, but need, a compelling tale to get investors to buy, since the company itself is often so fragile.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/24/2012 -- As reported by Seeking Alpha, Sunpeak Ventures (SNPK) has been valued at $725 million after hundreds of dishonest promoters pumped shares through the roof, by making various claims in their financial newsletters. SNPK, however, had only $3,562 in revenues at the time, and besides the push to buy from the flotilla of promoters with hidden motivations, the company itself had absolutely nothing going for them.

Their headquarters, claims Seeking Alpha, looks more like a garage than an office, and their vitamin supplement is the same as a publicly available one you could currently buy on shelves of CVS for one third the price.

"This is just another sign of promotion of penny stocks," explains Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and founder of the world famous penny stocks to buy newsletter. "Many promoters are making claims and providing misleading statements on one side, while naive investors buy on the other side. It's a mess, and while the promoters will make a lot of money, the investors who buy penny stocks like this will get burned, as they always do."

Asked how the investors who do buy shares get hurt, Leeds explains that when the promoters are done with this one, they walk away and shares tank.

"The best way to avoid costly promotions in penny stocks is to not trust 'story stocks.' Any time promoters want you to buy certain penny stocks, they find or fabricate some seemingly incredible story, like penny stocks working on a cure for cancer, or an engine that runs on gravity, and they push shares until you buy."

"How does the story end? The same way it always does - with penny stocks collapsing in price in an instant. Investors may buy and see some profits, so they buy more and see a little more profit. They may buy and buy and buy all the way up... but then they take a look one day and their profits are gone, and they've dumped much of their hard earned money into it."

Asked what makes him different from the penny stocks to buy promoters out there, Leeds states that he never promotes any penny stocks. Nor does he or his team take any form of compensation from penny stocks to buy they profile. As well, the penny stocks to buy that they discuss are fundamentally solid, financially strong investments, unlike the garbage penny stocks being promoted by the dishonest players in the industry.

Leeds also shares his top pointers for investors in penny stocks to protect themselves:
- Never buy pink sheets companies

- Never follow free penny stocks to buy newsletters

- Never buy penny stocks with a "good story" unless they also pass detailed and thorough analysis

Winter slowed many of America`s activist movements, including Occupy Wall Street among others, according to Peter Leeds, author of Invest in Best Penny Stocks, and publisher of the world famous Best Penny Stocks newsletter at http://pennystocks.com. Now with the days warming up, and nothing solved from an economic perspective after a year of protests, activists are coming back out onto the streets. Only now, they are more frustrated than ever, and old tactics which haven`t worked will give way to new approaches, some of which may be more violent and desperate than ever.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/23/2012 -- If one tactic doesn't work, people and organizations are likely to try something new. With activists protesting America`s economic inequalities and financial favoritism, this may include an increase in violence or social unrest that will make last year look tame, according to Peter Leeds, author of Invest in Best Penny Stocks, and publisher of the world famous Best Penny Stocks newsletter.

TheStreet.com indicated that the popularity and media coverage of the Occupy Wall Street movement has declined dramatically, down over 90% from it`s October 15th peak across all measurement metrics. While increased activist activity this spring may increase, and give a temporary bump to media interest and protester numbers, it remains clear that the Occupy Wall Street movement has seen already it's most popular days.

"If last year's wildly popular protests did not exact any change to our economic system," states Leeds, "the more serious, and now more frustrated protesters will try some new tactics. These will almost certainly involve more violent or serious measures at best, designed to become media relevant again, and garner attention and change where there was little previously."

Leeds mentions that he is neither a proponent or opponent to activist movements, but rather watches them closely to look for the best opportunities in his analysis when looking for the best of the best in penny stocks. When he uncovers what he considers the best of the best penny stocks, very often the company was uncovered due to the beneficial changes created by social shifts. For example, increasing social unrest would increase sales and revenues for crowd control and domestic security penny stocks which he follows.

"The best penny stocks are the ones you get in on very early. The best way to find those penny stocks is to be ahead of the curve. Watch events like the direction of a major activist movement like Occupy Wall Street, and anticipate what impact it will have on companies and society. From that, you will have expectations of which would be the best of the best penny stocks going forward, if events play out as you are expecting."

Leeds and his penny stocks team take no compensation from the penny stocks they review. All analysis is impartial, and their world famous newsletter is dedicate to uncovering the best penny stocks for subscribers.

Peter Leeds, publisher of the world famous penny stocks newsletter, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and authority on trading penny stocks, suggests all investors avoid Pink Sheets penny stocks. Given their simple listing requirements, thin trading volume, and lower investor visibility requirements, pink sheets penny stocks generally tend to be companies of lower quality, when compared to penny stocks on more senior exchanges like the Nasdaq, Amex, NYSE, or OTC-BB.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/18/2012 -- Not all markets are created equal it would seem. Nor are all penny stocks created equal. At least not according to Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and publisher of the world famous Peter Leeds Penny Stocks newsletter.

"Shares that trade on the Pink Sheets, in my view, tend to be companies of lower quality," mentions Leeds. "Between lower listing requirements, regulations that are comparatively lax, and thinner trading volumes, companies on the Pink Sheets are often of low to very low quality."

In terms of listing requirements, Leeds is referring to the costs and criteria that penny stocks need to meet or incur to gain a listing on the Pink Sheets. While it may cost as much as $250,000 to trade publicly on the New York Stock Exchange, a Pink Sheets listing may only be a few thousand, states Investopedia.

Leeds goes on to explain that, "With easier means of listing, the Pink Sheets act as a magnet for the thousands of horrible companies out there that will trade as penny stocks, completely overwhelming any high quality companies among the overload.

Any investor's odds will dramatically improve when they look to the higher end markets, like the Amex, Nasdaq, or it's subsidiary, the OTC-BB."

Leeds continues that he and his penny stocks team never analyse or review any penny stocks trading on the Pink Sheets. They also receive no compensation from the penny stocks they review and pick for subscribers to the Peter Leeds newsletter.

Peter Leeds, penny stock authority and publisher of Peter Leeds Penny Stock, says that Canada's recent decision to stop penny production may be a sneak peek of what to expect in America. While the penny is still legal tender in Canada, the Canadian mint has ceased production of new one cent coinage, partially because it costs as much as 2 cents to make a single penny. Here in America, it costs as much as 2.4 cents to make a penny, according to the New York Times.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/16/2012 -- According to the U.S. Mint, both the penny and nickel cost more to produce than their actual stock value, with a single penny often costing as much as 2.4 cents to produce. Combined with the decreasing purchasing power of our currency, and increasing costs driven by brewing inflation, as argued by penny stock authority Peter Leeds, the penny has seen it's importance in our economy diminish like never before.

"Dropping production of the penny," mentions Leeds, "like they just did in Canada, is a quick way to lower the governmental budget. It doesn't make sense to produce ANY stock currency, penny or nickel, at a cost greater than their value."

Leeds goes on to say that, in America, there are several austerity measures on their way to get the massive budget deficits under control. This includes raising the retirement age, potentially increasing some property taxes, applying new stock market trading fees, and several other approaches under consideration. Dropping America's loss leaders, like the 2.4 cent cost of producing the penny as cited by the U.S. Mint, is a no-brainer, and will almost certainly come to fruition in the next few years, Leeds claims.

In Canada, the penny is still in circulation of course, and has it's current value. The Canadian Mint will just not produce any new pennies.

"Expect America to follow a similar course," adds Leeds. "We'll stop making the penny. Then is will eventually fade away over many years, as the penny becomes more rare, and rising costs squeeze it's value out of existence."

Asked what this means for penny stock, and his moniker as the Penny Stock Professional, Leeds says he may need to evolve with the penny. "Maybe instead of the penny stock professional, I'll be the nickel stock professional."

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2012 -- Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks" [John Wiley & Sons], and creator of the famous Peter Leeds Penny Stocks newsletter, has announced that Goldgroup Mining will be filling the third and final spot on his "Tomorrow's Winners Today" penny stocks panel. Goldgroup Mining is a public stock on the TSX Venture exchange, trading under the symbol GGA.

"I'm glad to have finalized thepenny stocks panel, and grateful to have companies like Victoria Gold, Passport Potash, and Goldgroup Mining to be involved," stated Leeds.

A warning has been issued by the authority on penny stocks and author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," Peter Leeds, suggesting traders avoid the "easy" stock exchanges, like the over the counter and Pink Sheets markets. Penny stocks can get listed there much more easily, and price manipulation in their shares is often much easier, according to Leeds, which results in more numerous quantities of fundamentally weaker penny stocks, and fewer quality investment options.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/23/2012 -- Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks" [John Wiley & Sons], and publisher of the world famous Peter Leeds Penny Stocks newsletter, has issued a warning today for investors to avoid what he describes as the "easy" markets.

Leeds explains that the easy markets include such exchanges as Other Over The Counter and Pink Sheets. With 8,867 and 6,211 listed securities respectively [OTCMarket.com], there is no shortage of penny stocks being traded on these venues.

"The listing requirements, such as costs and qualification, are much lower than more conventional exchanges for stocks," says Leeds. "It is easier for lower quality penny stocks to get listed, and it costs them much less. They are also generally more thinly traded, and of lower price, so these penny stocks are targets for price manipulation."

With a total of about 29,000 trades in 6,211 stocks (some penny stocks, some large cap stocks), Pink Sheet companies sometimes have as little as 5 trades in a day, on average. [PinkSheets.com] The 8,867 stocks listed as Other Over The Counter sometimes trade, on average, as little as 2 or 3 times in a day. [OTCMarkets.com]

"There is no shortage of investors who wants to trade and buy penny stocks, but there is a right way to do it, and a wrong way. Traders in penny stocks need to stick to high quality companies, which represents about 5% of penny stocks, and the first step is to avoid some of these exchanges which are easy to get listed upon."

Leeds and his team never take compensation from the penny stocks they profile, and they never select penny stocks trading on the so-called easy markets for their subscribers.

"I'm hoping investors in penny stocks will head my warning," mentions Leeds. "It's a great way for them to protect themselves, and will open them up to much better odds of finding quality penny stocks that will really perform, by looking on the higher level markets like the OTC-BB, Nasdaq, Amex, and even NYSE."

Peter Leeds, the penny stock authority, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and publisher of the world famous Peter Leeds Penny Stock newsletter at pennystocks.com, warns investors against "the three don'ts of penny stocks." In a new publicly available report, entitled "Pennies to Fortunes," he suggests that people avoid free penny stock picks, free penny stock websites, and pink sheet equities.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2012 -- In his new penny stock report, "Pennies to Fortunes," penny stock analyst, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and publisher of the Peter Leeds Penny Stocks newsletter, Peter Leeds provides his top 3 tips for investors to protect themselves from risks.

Adding weight to other media channels which have encouraged investors to be cautious when buying thinly traded penny stocks, such as CNBC and the Motley Fool, Leeds elaborates on some exact steps investors can take to dramatically improve their odds.

The report, "Pennies to Fortunes," is publicly available for free, and readers are also encouraged to share the information or the entire report with anyone else they feel might benefit, or who may be interested in penny stocks.

"Penny stocks are not for everyone, and a good investor will know when to avoid penny stock companies," says Leeds. "With penny stocks, there are more lackluster investments, but it can be very profitable to buy into those penny stock companies that have solid fundamentals."

In "Pennies to Fortunes" Leeds provides his top 3 "don'ts" for investors looking to get into penny stocks:

1. Don't trust free penny stock picks

2. Don't trust free penny stock websites

3. Don't buy shares in any Pink Sheet penny stocks

By adhering to these 3 "don'ts" of penny stocks, Leeds states that investors will be avoiding 90% of the risks that cost many penny stock investors their money.

"Free penny stock picks are promoted by people who get paid by the companies they tout," explains Leeds. "Free penny stock websites profit by tricking people into buying. Besides these two don'ts," adds Leeds, "you should stay away from Pink Sheets stocks, because they are on balance very fundamentally awful companies, and there are very low listing requirements or regulations, which attracts the worst companies."

Penny stock expert and analyst in penny stocks, Peter Leeds, has announced that Victoria Gold will be part of his 'Tomorrow's Winners Today' penny stock panel at the International Money Show. Being held March 27th to 29th in Vancouver, the convention brings many stock market investors and stocks together. The penny stock panel features three up-and-coming penny stocks which Leeds believes may not be penny stocks for much longer, including Victoria Gold.

Leeds adds that, "the MoneyShow is glad to have Victoria included on my 'Tomorrow's Winners Today' panel, and attendees who see their presentation may consider Victoria a penny stock buy."

Montana Ross of the World MoneyShow stated that, "This is going to be an outstanding event in Vancouver. We're bringing many great companies, speakers, and sponsors together, and are impressed with the number of pre-registrations already."

Leeds' 'Tomorrow's Winners Today' penny stock panel is slated for the afternoon of March 27th, and will include three penny stocks which may benefit from the increased visibility.

Oil prices have spiked over 10% in the last few weeks, rising from $96 to $106 per barrel [New York Mercantile Exchange]. The costs to buy fuel will rise, but that will also create many opportunities to buy specific penny stocks, according to Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and publisher of the Penny Stocks to Buy newsletter at http://pennystocks.com

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/07/2012 -- With the recent spike in oil prices of over 10% from February 7th to 22nd, the price to buy a barrel has risen from $96 to over $106 [New York Mercantile Exchange]. This rapid rise was driven mostly by increasing tensions between America and Iran, according to the Associated Foreign Press (AFP).

The AFP mentions that, "Oil prices are firming on concerns about rising tensions between the West and Iran." The AFP goes on to report that Iran has threatened to block the Straight of Hormuz, a vital oil transportation route, and possibly disallow certain countries, like Greece and Italy, from being allowed to buy Iranian oil. This would be in addition to the UK and France, who are already not allowed to buy from Iran, based on the Iranian regime's recent "reverse - blockade" actions.

"In times of uncertainty," states Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and editor of the Penny Stocks to Buy newsletter, "their are lots of buy opportunities. As a result of the spiking oil prices, my penny stocks analysis team has uncovered dozens of penny stocks to buy which should do well for investors who buy at these prices."

Leeds elaborates by indicating he has profiled the best oil services and production penny stocks to buy for subscribers of his penny stocks newsletter, as a result of the oil price spike. "Higher costs to buy oil will slow the overall economy, but it will benefit some penny stocks that make their revenues from oil, or services related to the oil production and logistics industries."

Leeds cautions that penny stocks are not for everyone. Before an investor makes their first buy, they should make sure they buy only the right type of penny stocks, like the ones he profiles for his newsletter subscribers.

My hope is that people learn to go about trading penny stocks in a proper and profitable way, and I think we'll accomplish a lot of that with my penny stocks presentation."

"To be able to work so closely with the MoneyShow is the best honor," added Leeds. "They are a well known, worldwide brand, and being invited by them to bring a penny stock focus to their conference is a great opportunity."

Asked if he had any guidance for penny stock investors who would miss the MoneyShow, he added his three best pointers.

Do not follow or trust any penny stock picks you get for free, do not trade Pink Sheet penny stocks, and only invest in the best penny stock companies that are fundamentally solid. When I say fundamentally solid penny stocks, I'm talking about strong balance sheets, low debt, growing market share, and ballooning revenues."

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), China's per capita intake of calories, protein, and fat have surged from well below the world average to well above, with similar trends taking place in nearby developing nations.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/16/2012 -- Penny stock analyst Peter Leeds believes changes in global food demand overseas are creating opportunities for penny stock investors here at home.

An increasingly sophisticated diet among developing nations is increasing food and water demands, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).  Previous to 1975, China's per capita intake of calories, protein, and fat were well below the world average, but now those metrics are well above.

The FAO also states that developing nations nearby are experiencing a similar trend, such as is evidenced in Pakistan, India, and Indonesia.

This increased dietary sophistication is further compounded by expanding population numbers.  The World's Population Clock by Worldometers now measures the total population at 7 billion people, up 1 billion since 1999.

Both the FAO and Worldometers anticipate that the dietary and population trends are expected to continue, if not accelerate.

Widely followed penny stock analyst Peter Leeds believes this scenario will create great opportunities for penny stock investors. "When demand increases and strains an underlying supply, you'll see specific penny stock companies that will benefit."

"We've been watching the best penny stock companies in the food and water business - logistics, production, harvesting, agricultural, filtering, transportation, rendering... There are many opportunities for penny stock investors, and those opportunities only increase as food and water supplies see their demand rise."

Asked what kinds of penny stock companies he has profiled recently to his penny stock newsletter followers, he points to S&W Seed Company (SANW), among others. SANW engineers alfalfa seeds which can grow in harsh environments and poor soils. Their shares have doubled in price in the last 9 months, recently hitting a year high of $6.20, and taking the company from penny stock territory to well above it.

Leeds states that he has his eye on several food and water related penny stock companies to buy right now, and his analysis team has been given instructions to spend extra time researching the penny stock companies in the food and water supply space.

Leeds explains that further penny stock picks in the related industries will be made for their newsletter subscribers as these food and water demand trends play out.

"For penny stock investors," adds Leeds, "growing populations and changing dietary trends are some of the most relevant events right now for spotting tomorrow's winning penny stock investments."

Penny stock pump and dumps are running rampant right now, according to Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," and editor of the world famous Peter Leeds Penny Stocks newsletter at pennystocks.com.

Raleigh, NC -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2012 -- Innocent people are getting tricked out of their well-intended investment dollars, and penny stock promoters are easily sidestepping legal requirements to "legitimately" steal your money by misrepresenting the strength of worthless penny stocks.

You may have seen them in your e-mail, a free penny stock newsletter, or chat room - the next "hot" penny stocks that are going to make everyone rich. Is there anything to these penny stocks with promises of revolutionizing the world, and multiplying in price in the process?

No, there isn't, according to Peter Leeds, author of "Invest in Penny Stocks," editor of the world famous Peter Leeds penny stocks newsletter, and leading speaker on speculative penny stock investments.

"Penny stocks being used for pump and dumps are chosen because they are almost worthless to begin with," explains Leeds. "It is easy to manipulate the prices of their shares by misrepresenting that penny stocks' prospects. The more they lie to you, the more unsuspecting investors buy in, and the more money these penny stock pump and dump artists in make off of worthless penny stocks."

According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.), a pump and dump generally starts with a promoter purchasing a huge amount of shares in some penny stock on it's last legs, for a very low price. Then they will pepper the Internet with e-mails, and free newsletters about the penny stock in question. As this generates more buying from unsuspecting investors, those penny stocks begin to climb. That is... until the penny stock pump and dump artists have enough profits, and they move on to their next worthless penny stock. At that point without ongoing efforts of the promoter, which could be a matter of days or months later, the penny stock sees it's shares collapse, taking all investors with it.

Leeds states that there are a lot of great penny stocks and penny stock companies out there. The ones being targeted by promoters, however, are penny stocks in terrible companies which are nearly worthless, and therefore more easily driven up in price from such lows.

When asked how these penny stock promoters get away with it, Leeds explains that the S.E.C. requirements about penny stock promotion aren't strict enough, nor are they appropriately policed. He asserts that these promoters should remember that, "just because they aren't getting stopped doesn't mean that it's right."

"Penny stock promoters can drive a 1 cent penny stock up to 20 cents, but when they decide, the price crashes back down," says Leeds. "And it was always worthless, even at it's price peak."

In many cases, what looks like a legitimate penny stock report is actually a paid advertisement, which can be seen in their lengthy, fine-print disclaimers.

"Some people forget their ethics and try to ride along with the penny stock pump," states Leeds, "They need to remember that every dollar they made riding along with the penny stock promotion is a dollar taken out of another person's pocket - usually a naive but trusting penny stock investor, or an old lady who is desperate in this economy."

"We have never taken a single penny in compensation to give our review of any penny stock, and we only talk about the best penny stocks that have solid fundamental strength, with huge, realistic upside. We feature the great 5% of penny stocks that our analysis says will outperform other penny stocks, because they are excellent businesses. The penny stocks you are hearing about for free, those penny stocks being pumped and promoted, are generally worthless companies that will end up where they started, which is near zero."
