SPOM (Spo Medical, Inc.) has seen gains of 281% in the past 2 weeks.

SPOM (Spo Medical, Inc.) has kicked into high gear lately, greatly outperforming the penny stock exchange, as it has seen gains of 281% over the course of the past 2 weeks alone. The significant attention that this stock has seen as of late has sparked the interest of Penny Stock Dream significantly over the course of these past two weeks, so we felt it of great importance to bring the momentum that has been generated here, to the attention of all those following along with our penny stock alert platform. Though the movement has been substantial here as of late, the company traded only 271,700 shares yesterday, showing us that there is still a great deal of awareness growth that has to be done, for this fast moving penny stock play. If the company is able to garner a great deal more attention from active penny stock investors and traders alike, we hold little doubt that the price movement could prove astronomical. The momentum with regard to price is already there, we are just waiting to see if the volume can follow suite. With that said, the Penny Stock Dream platform will be keeping a close eye on what is to come from here on with SPOM (Spo Medical, Inc.) because there may be a great deal more to come for this promising penny stock. We feel that there may very well be news to come soon from the company because it has not released anything substantial since April 11th. On the 11th they released a prospectus on their mutual fund and a full press release about their returning to revenue generation. Their Mutual Fund Prospectus can be read below:

Example
 The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example does not include fees and expenses associated with your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract. Had they been included, fees and expenses would have been higher. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods, that you earn a 5% return each year, and that the fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:
1 year
3 years
5 years
10 years
Class I
$100
$313
$542
$1,201
Class II
$115
$360
$623
$1,374
Class III
$100
$313
$542
$1,201
Portfolio Turnover
 The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 47% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
In selecting stocks for the fund, the portfolio managers look for companies of all sizes whose stock price may not reflect the company’s value. The managers attempt to purchase the stocks of these undervalued companies and hold each stock until the price has increased to, or is higher than, a level the managers believe more accurately reflects the fair value of the company.
The portfolio managers may sell stocks from the fund’s portfolio if they believe a stock no longer meets their valuation criteria, a stock’s risk parameters outweigh its return opportunity, more attractive alternatives are identified or specific events alter a stock’s prospects.
Principal Risks
Multi-Cap Investing – The fund is a multi-capitalization fund that invests in companies of all sizes. The small and medium-sized companies in which the fund invests may be more volatile and subject to greater risk than larger companies.
Style Risk – If the market does not consider the individual stocks purchased by the fund to be undervalued, the value of the fund’s shares may decline, even if stock prices generally are rising.
Foreign Securities – The fund may invest in foreign securities, which can be riskier than investing in U.S. securities.
Market Risk – The value of the fund’s shares will go up and down based on the performance of the companies whose securities it owns and other factors generally affecting the securities market.
Price Volatility – The value of the fund’s shares may fluctuate significantly in the short term.
Principal Loss – At any given time your shares may be worth less than the price you paid for them. In other words, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit, and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency.
Fund Performance
The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the fund. The bar chart shows changes in the fund’s performance from year to year for Class I shares. The table shows how the fund’s average annual returns for the periods shown compared with those of a broad measure of market performance. Fees associated with your variable annuity or variable life insurance contract are not reflected in the chart or table below. Had they been included, returns presented below would have been lower. The fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the fund will perform in the future.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries
The fund is offered as an underlying investment option for variable annuity or life insurance contracts.

These payments may influence the insurance company to include the fund over another investment as an option in its products. Ask your salesperson or visit your insurance company’s website for more information."
This sort of prospectus goes to show just how much work this company is putting into ensuring that investors are highly informed about their financial standing. With the sort of information that SPOM is putting forward for the public eye, Penny Stock Dream is very excited to have been able to have shed the light on this special penny stock, so early on. The other news item released by this company on the 11th, about revenue generation can be seen below:
"SPO Returns to Revenue Generation


NEW YORK, April 11, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

SPO Medical Inc. (SPOM), a leading developer of biosensor and microprocessor technologies for use in portable monitoring devices, announced today financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012. During this period the Company completed development of its new wellness product and commenced sales activities.

Total revenue for 2012 was $316,000 compared to$20,000 for the same period in 2011. The increase in revenue was the result of the Company's strategy to enter the non-medical consumer wellness market through its partnership with HoMedics LLC. In addition, the Company has a backlog of firm orders of approximately $500,000 for planned shipments through 2013. The Company anticipates this backlog to increase during fiscal year 2013 as sales continue to grow in the United States and in international markets. This is primarily attributed to the expanded distribution of its private-labeled pulse oximeter known as the HoMedics Deluxe Pulse Oximeter for non-medical consumer wellness markets.

Further details as to SPO's financial information and results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 are in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2013.

Michael Braunold, Chief Executive Officer of SPO commented: "We are very pleased with our fiscal results for 2012 and backlog position which show a strategic turnaround for the Company - this was achieved in a relatively short period of time after our decision to distribute under the HoMedics private-label which gave us immediate access to mass-market retailers worldwide. We have also made our first shipment to the international market outside of the United States and we see further upside during 2013, by leveraging on our joint-success to date."

During 2013, SPO anticipates expanding other product opportunities currently under development and specifically its fitness watch - a new consumer wellness time-piece designed to measure overall daily activity level, especially useful for overweight and obese adults and children. This new and innovative product, already demonstrated to several retail category buyers, will include unique innovative features as well as being a fashionable time-piece to continuously measure the number of daily activities and calories burned against a recommended goal.

Braunold continued: "We see substantial opportunities to expand in the drugstore channel and beyond as we grow our product portfolio during 2013, particularly as our partner HoMedics looks to increase distribution worldwide via its extensive network in over 60 countries. We look forward to an exciting year ahead for the Company as our products enter the vast consumer wellness market, which in turn contributes to potentially increasing value for the SPO shareholders."
