Editorials Bahamas '99 Conference: At the conference on 6/16, I spoke at two sessions, in which I discussed three trends & recommended the attendies check out specific special situations. Here's a brief overview: Trend 1. Internet Stocks: While the bloom is temporarily down a bit, the long-term outlook is very good. See my comments in the Sneak Preview this month on M&A West, Inc. (OTC BB/MAWI). My friend Ken Coleman, in his talk at the conference, noted that about $301 billion transpired on the Internet last year, & created about 40% of the new jobs in the U.S. The Internet volume was about $5 million back in 1994, & is expected to reach $1.3 trillion in 2003. Ken said one fact about the Internet is that every statistic will be obsolete within three months because of its rapid growth. Trend 2. Move to a Customer-Based Economy: We are in a new economy. The customer has been gaining control. Decisions regarding what to manufacture & the characteristics of the products are now largely determined by the customer. Companies that recognize this will do much better than those that do not. See my comments in the Sneak Preview in the June 1999 issue regarding TeleTech Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ/TTEC). Trend 3. Energy Change: The reserves of fossil fuels are finite. They will be depleted. Hydrogen, on the other hand, is essentially infinite because of its vast supply from oceans on this planet. See my recommendation of DCH Technology, Inc. (OTC BB/DCHT) in the June 1999 issue. Bottom line: Hydrogen fuel cells will replace fossil fuels for powering cars over the next decade. That will greatly extend the remaining reserves of fossil fuel, allowing it to be used for lubrication, & for making plastics & rubber. It will also save the environment & extend the time this planet will be able to sustain human, animal, & plant life. Since returning from the Bahamas, I interviewed Centraxx Inc. & can add another trend -- see my recommendation in this issue. Here are the situations I suggested my audience check out: Action Products International, Inc. (NASDAQ/APII -- CS 12/98) * VLPI constitutes another trend -- see my Sneak Preview in this issue.

Overview ...cannot help but notice the body armor worn by the "good guys." The law enforcement community has embraced the concept of body armor vigorously over the past few decades & many lives have been saved as a result. The corrections community & the military also joined the movement & are issuing bullet & projectile resistant garments to their people. The DHB Armor Group, Inc., one of three portions of DHBT, is the dominant industry leader in soft & hard body armor used by the military, federal, state, & local law enforce-ment agencies, & federal & state correctional facilities. History Originally incorporated in NY in 1992 by David H. Brooks, DHBT was reincorporated in DE in 1995. It acquired Protective Apparel Corporation of America in 1992, Point Blank Body Armor, Inc. in 1995, & Zunblindage SA, a privately held Belgian body armor corporation in 1997. DHBT entered the protective sports apparel, fitness, & orthopedic product businesses with the 1994 acquisitions of NDL Products, Inc., & Orthopedic Products, Inc. (OPI) in 1996. In 1998, it acquired two privately held companies: (1) Lanxide Electronic Components, Inc., manufacturer of a unique, patented thermal management packaging & structural component; & (2) DHB KK, a Japanese subsidiary that markets Lanxide's products in Japan. ...continued on next page, click here |

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.

See the introductory portion of that special section for additional information regarding the material covered there. |
