WESTON, Fla., April 7, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: 12 to 20 Plus Inc. (OTCBB:TTTP), Advanced Optics Electronics (OTCBB:ADOT), Ezenia! Inc. (OTCBB:EZEN) and Generex Biotechnology (Nasdaq:GNBT).
Aggressive investors need to look at 12 to 20 Plus Inc. (OTCBB:TTTP) this morning! Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that it has acquired the rights to market "HydroCap+(tm)"; a product created specifically for American and allied forces operating in desert environments and humid tropical locations around the world!
This could be big news to investors! According to the press release, an additional market includes those millions of Americans that work or exercise in conditions where the body is strained by heat and the loss of valuable nutrients and electrolytes. 12 to 20 Plus, Inc. is poised to penetrate this multi-million dollar market with HydroCap, a nutritional product essential to replenishment of all metabolic losses, including electrolytes that occur during thermal dehydration or heat stress, provides nutrients appropriate to the restoration of electrolytes and water balance and energy recovery. HydroCap is the only product to address these total body requirements.
Supported by military food scientists, a well nourished solider is important to all military operations. The addition of HydroCap as a preventative against dehydration to the military menu should prove to have a scientifically positive impact on health, well being and performance. The product's creator, Dr. John Hewitt, a former organic research chemist for duPont, says, "We feel it is essential to personnel, second only to water and shade." HydroCap is an easily swallowed vanilla-coated caplet taken with six ounces of fluid at each meal providing rapid rehydration of lost body fluid to tissues.
Aggressive investors should keep your eyes on this company! Carol Slavin, President of TTTP stated, "Although this product was initially developed to help insure the well being of our troops in extreme circumstances, the traditional consumer markets will be targeted as well. Active individuals participating in any sport or activity would benefit physically by adding HydroCap to their daily regime. This un-tapped market could be worth millions of dollars in revenues to the company as we go forward with distribution."
The stock closed at eighteen cents a share yesterday.
