so much money to invest." Banks are being drawn to U.S. companies of all sizes that appear to have the potential to generate outsize returns, he says. Moore was instrumental in getting Upgrade, an over-the-counter Nasdaq stock, listed on the Frankfurt exchange in 1999. Its stock price soared to nearly $90 a share from 2 7/8 within a 52-week period. Moore wouldn't advise every U.S. company he counsels to list their stock overseas, although the process is easy enough due to his extensive network of contacts in financial and investment circles. "It's got to make sense," he explains. He's traveling to Germany in early February to list NetStaff.com (OTC:NTSF) on the Dusseldorf Exchange. The Silicon Valley start-up, which recently completed its IPO in the U.S., is an on-line multiple listing company that keeps track of staff openings in the work place. The staffing market was about $86 billion last year & is expected to increase to more than $100 billion this year. But the sector is fragmented. NetStaff.Com's goal is to provide the Internet capability that will allow service providers to interact & thus be more responsive to companies trying to fill staff positions. With revenues projected to swell to about $220 million by 2003 from $25 million this year, Moore thinks German investors will be eager to participate in the growth of an Internet company like NetStaff.com.

Moore is based in Seattle, Wash. & is director of presidential candidate Steve Forbes' small business campaign in the Northwest. Several years ago he co-founded Wall Street Strategies, which advises Wall Street brokerage firms on daily stock picks. About 10,000 brokers rely on the service daily. He took it public about six months ago, & it has traded as high as 14-1/8. Moore can be reached at (360) 332-0973 or by e-mail at toddmoore@telcomplus.net.

Sneak Previews

I pick these special situations from those presented to me each month by my network of brokers, market makers, PR companies, investment bankers, venture capitalists, & key people in various industries. My primary criterion is my opinion of the stock's potential to double or better in the next six to 12 months. Once a Sneak, a company becomes a candidate for the "Situation of the Month" coverage in a future issue. Our decision concerning which to cover in a more detailed way is based on what we find in continuing investigation. I may give special attention to a Sneak I did a year ago, or one from the last issue; do not attach significance to timing.

I will, however, do updates on those Sneaks I continue to follow, either in the "Update Briefs" section of the newsletter, in e-mail updates (send me your e-mail address & I'll include you -- e-mail me at up415@aol.com), or in "Larry Oakley's Daily Comment" at WallStreetCorner. I suggest you go there daily.

Some Sneak candidates will be covered in "Larry Oakley's Opinion" or "Larry Oakley's Weekly Stock Pick" sections of WallStreetCorner. I suggest you check those two editorial venues each week.

While Sneaks are preliminary recommendations, do not use them for investment decisions unless you decide on the basis of facts you uncover in your own investigation. Use our "Financial Navigator" at WallStreetCorner to get more information on any stock. Keep in mind that the codes listed after each Sneak are preliminary, reflecting my first impression. They are subject to change based on further investigation.

Codes: At the end of each Sneak Preview & Update, there are three codes. They have a rating from 1 to 10. Those numbers reflect my personal opinion. Please -- do not take action based on my opinion alone. Do four things before taking action: (1) Read my original writeup to get an overall feel; (2) Get the latest 10-Q, 10-K, corporate profile, & news releases; you can access them at www.WallStreetCorner.com by using "Financial Navigator;" (3) Study them; & (4) Call a key member of management to get a final impression. If anything bothers you regarding that call, pass. There are lots of situations. Do not invest unless everything about a situation feels good to you.

"R" stands for "Risk Rating." A "1" means I view the situation as having an extreme amount of risk. A "10" means very low risk -- a much sounder, more financially stable situation. You'll see hardly any with a "1" or "10" rating. I chose "10" to mean lowest risk so the higher the number after each of the three codes, the more favorable the rating.

"M" stands for "Midterm Appreciation Potential." A "1" means I view the situation as having a small degree of midterm ("mid-term" is six to 12 months) potential. A "10" means really outstanding midterm potential.

"L" stands for "Long-term Appreciation Potential." A "1" means I view the situation as having a small degree of long-term ("long-term" is over one year) potential. A "10" means really outstanding long-term potential.

Interactive Marketing Technology, Inc. (OTC BB/IAMK) is a unique situation. I talked about it in my "Larry Oakley's Opinion" posted at WallStreetCorner 01/25/2000. Check it out there. If I already posted a subsequent Opinion by the time you check, you'll find IAMK in the Opinion archives at the end of the column.

I mentioned that I had several interviews with the president, Sandy Lang, & was beginning to appreciate the breadth & depth of what he is doing. This situation is pretty impressive. I seriously suggest you check it out. You can always find the current price by typing in the symbol at the WallStreetCorner's Financial Navigator -- that's where I find all of my prices.

One of IAMK's first products is "The Plumber's Secret -- The Instant Drain Opener," with an association arranged by Lang with Bob Vila, who endorses the product. QVC ordered a substantial number of units of the product to be sold through its national home TV shopping channel. Lang personally presented the product on QVC 1/19/2000. The entire inventory of units sold out in seven minutes. Price @ close 1/28/2000: 1-1/8.

Planet Entertainment Corp. (OTC Bul Bd/PNEC) is in the business of recording, producing, & distributing recorded music in the compact disc & other advanced formats. I covered Planet in my Daily Comment on 1/27/2000 -- you can see it in the Daily Comment archives. This situation is undervalued. It's one you should definitely look into.

Disclaimer: The public companies featured in the Corporate Profiles listed in the "Special Situation" section on the Home Page of www.WallStreetCorner.com are our regular clients. Each such client pays an annual cash fee of $12,000, or alternatively, a monthly cash fee of $495 plus a negotiated number of Form 144 restricted shares for our service. We on rare occasions accept free-trading shares, but we usually hold such shares for the long pull - we do not engage in trading. Such fees are disclosed as part of the Corporate Profile prepared and posted on the particular company involved. The basic coverage provided to such clients primarily includes the preparation of their Corporate Profile, posting it here at WallStreetCorner.com, and the distribution of email alerts to our international database of investors and financial professionals when their Profile is initially posted, and each time their Profile is subsequently updated. We expect our clients to work with us in a team effort by calling us each time they have achieved a significant milestone. We then update their Profile and issue an additional email alert to our totally opt-in email database (as of July 2008, members of that database are from over 96 countries). The email distributions we make are a key element of our service -- those, as well as the updated Corporate Profile are what together are designed to achieve a gradual buildup of new shareholders who generally hold for the long term. If you are an officer at a public company and want the exposure afforded at WallStreetCorner.com, email Larry at up415@aol.com or call him at 843-645-2729. Information displayed by WallStreetCorner in its Corporate Profiles, and in its editorial or other columns, does not constitute an offer to buy, sell, or trade a security of any kind, including stock. Larry Oakley, and/or WallStreetCorner.com, Inc., does not recommend that any person, institution, or other entity make any decisions or form any opinions, etc. based on the information on this site. All visitors to this site are urged to do two things before investing in any stock: (1) Call the company and ask questions -- if there is anything you do not like regarding such call, pass -- our goal is to bring you a selection of what we feel are growth situations with good long-term appreciation potential, but you must accept the responsibility of making your own decisions regarding which situations to invest in -- do not give up that responsibility; and (2) Consult a qualified financial professional before taking any actions in regards to buying, selling, or trading securities (stocks or other forms of equity). Companies covered in Conservative Speculator, a newsletter accessed from WallStreetCorner, or in any of Larry Oakley's other editorial venues ("Opinion," "Stock Pick," "Comment," and "Bold Ventures" columns, and in any other editorial venue to which Larry contributes) do not pay for such editorial coverage; the companies Larry covers editorially have never, do not now, and never will be charged for editorial coverage. The only paid portions of WallStreetCorner.com are the Profiles and email distributions (email distributions are a part of the client's package, but occasionally are paid for separately by non-clients - if a non-client wants to utilize our email distributions, the cost is $2,000 for the first distribution, $1,500 for the second, $1,000 for the third, and $500 for all subsequent distributions made for the same company). On occasion, Larry Oakley shares his opinion regarding a private company or its product or service. Bear in mind that nothing at that special section is an investment possibility.
