Small Cap Market News and Stock Highlights from SmallCapVoice.com

Chinese regulators are trying to contain rapid economic growth to prevent speculative investment bubbles there. The surprising move comes a day after a tame inflation report raised hopes that China wouldn’t have to further tighten its monetary policy.

Concerns about debt problems in European countries like Greece, Spain and Portugal, as well as President Barack Obama’s push for new regulations on banks also weighed on the market and increased volatility in recent weeks.

On Thursday, European Union leaders pledged to provide Greece with support as it tries to bring its debt problems under control. There has been concern that debt problems there could spread and destabilize Europe’s common currency, the euro.

A Commerce Department report that showed retail sales grew more than expected in January had little effect on trading. Retail sales rose 0.5 percent last month, slightly better than the 0.3 percent expected by economists polled by Thomson Reuters.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 133.85, or 1.3 percent, to 10,010.34. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index dropped 13.48, or 1.3 percent, to 1,064.99, while the Nasdaq composite index fell 23.12, or 1.1 percent, to 2,154.29.

New Client Alert:

Tootie Pie Company, Inc. (OTC BB: TOOT)

Tootie Pie Company bakes and sells high-quality, handmade pies through three basic sales channels: retail, corporate and wholesale. The retail segment serves individual consumers through in-store sales, orders via telephone and internet on the Company’s website. The corporate segment serves businesses that purchase pies as a way to promote their company through client and employee appreciation programs. The wholesale segment is made up of national and regional broad line grocery and foodservice distributors who purchase pies and then resell them through their respective sales distribution channels.

Tootie Pie recently announced that it sold over 13,500 pies for the month of November 2009, an increase of 15% over November 2008, making this the best November in the Company’s history.

Don Merrill, Tootie Pie Company’s President & CEO, commented, “Coming on the heels of a 15% sales increase for October, this holiday season is shaping up very well for the Tootie Pie Company. I am pleased to see our continued sales growth, especially during these tough times.”

SmallCapVoice.com subscribers should take note that based upon the 15% year over year sales increase for both October and November combined with the seasonally strong Holiday season, we expect that Tootie Pie will report record third quarter operating results.
