Could These (Promoted) Small Cap Stocks Be Winners? ACGX, DJRT, IOGA & SLTZ

Small cap stocks Alliance Creative Group Inc (OTCMKTS: ACGX), Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure Inc (OTCMKTS: DJRT), Inscor Inc (OTCMKTS: IOGA) and Solar Thin Films Inc (OTCMKTS: SLTZ) have all been getting some attention lately in various investment newsletters and it should come as no surprise that two out of four of these stocks have been the subject of paid promotions – which tend to benefit traders. However, two out of four of these stocks also have pretty good financials for being small cap OTC stocks and that might make them attractive to investors with a long term time horizon. So which of these stocks might make traders some profits in the short term and investors some profits over the longer term? Here is a closer look to help you decide:

Alliance Creative Group Inc (OTCMKTS: ACGX) Has Pretty Good Financials for an OTC Stock

The press release also noted that the voting and conversion rights for the preferred shares was amended to 100 to 1, they allowed the CEO to convert 1 million preferred shares into 100 million restricted common shares and they increased the total authorized common shares to 750 million. The press release reiterated Alliance Creative Group's long-term goal is to build a "$50 Million Dollar company within the next 5 years."

That's actually pretty good but just be aware that at the end of March, Alliance Creative Group had $0.13k to cover $2.03M in current liabilities and $1.77M in long-term debt.

Dale Jarrett Racing Adventure Inc (OTCMKTS: DJRT)Also Has Pretty Decent Financials

Secures Contract Worth an Initial $36 Million in Annual Revenue and INSCOR, Inc. CEO Heads Home to Create Opportunities for His Nation and His Company. Apparently, Inscor has been in negotiations with the Republic of Ghana's National Mass Social Welfare Scheme (MSWS) to insure the replacement of lost or stolen welfare cards issued to its members. A quick look at Inscor's financials reveals revenues of $49k (most recent reported quarter), $52k and $116k for the past three quarters along with net losses of zero (most recent reported quarter), $251k and zero. At the end of March, Inscor had no cash to cover $414k in current liabilities. So its really hard to see how the company could have saved Detroit albeit its still in better financial shape than that city.

Solar Thin Films Inc (OTCMKTS: SLTZ) Announces an Acquisition and a New Project

However and before you get too excited, keep in mind that I am not seeing any financials dating from latter than 2010 on Google Finance or Yahoo Finance – meaning its investor beware.
