Codes: At the end of each Update & Sneak, 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 (in the case of updates on recommendations); (2) Get the latest 10-Q, 10-K, corporate profile, & news releases; you can access them at www.wallstreetcorner.com on the Internet; (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 lower 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. Actrade International Ltd. (NASDAQ/ACRT -- CS Sneak 10/95 & 1/99) reported record results for Q3 '99.

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. To see that section, click where on the home page it says: "Click here to access our Special Emerging Growth Situations." See the introductory portion of that special section for additional information regarding the material covered there. |
