This year's conference will give you insights into protection, privacy, & profits. I'll be concentrating on profits. For more information, call Karen at 800-346-0092. Mention that you're a subscriber to Conservative Speculator when you talk to her.

www.WallStreetCorner.com Comment:
When you are finished either looking at this May issue of Conservative Speculator, or have printed it out for future reference, look at the other features on WallStreetCorner. For example, look at Financial Navigator. It lets you check any stock & get all of the information that exists on the Internet throughout the world on that stock. Financial planners tell me that with Financial Navigator, they get everything they need & never have to go to any other site to get their financial information.

If you know of a company that could use help in getting their story across, have them call me. My editorial number: 843-705-5591. If no answer, ask them to call again, because that number reaches me directly, & I'm away at times.

Tell your friends about the new feature called "Larry Oakley's Opinion." It gives visitors my current opinion on one of the special situations on the site. Many of you told me that there are plenty of places on the web to get facts, but you just can't find anyplace to get someone's opinion. This new feature addresses that need. Remember, however, that it's just that -- my personal opinion on a particular situation. My opinion is strictly editorial -- I do not get paid to express that opinion.

Check First:
Please -- do not invest in any situation without first calling the company. Making such a check is really useful. Also -- follow the strategies in "Winning Investment Strategies," made available to every regular subscriber. The main ones are briefly summa-rized in every issue under "Impor-tant Strategies."

Anicom, Inc.

Overview

ANIC is fast becoming the folks who put the "web" in the world-wide-web. It is a key player in the $50 to $100 billion connectivity portion of the Internet market by distributing the cables, wires, & connectivity products which ties computer networks, communications, & the Internet together.

Its strategy is to expand through internal growth & through acquisitions in the growing yet highly fragmented wire & cable & related connectivity markets... comprising 1,000 companies of various size. ANIC's impressive performance has caught the attention of financial media, including Forbes & Fortune magazines, Investor's Business Daily, & The Wall Street Journal.

ANIC sees itself as a "Distribution Specialist" that focuses on the needs of its customers rather than a simple distributor of cable products. Its expertise is in providing materials & support services for its customers. That enables them to build & retain their client base. Management is readily accessible to both its customers & its vendors -- issues are quickly resolved. This distinction has been a major factor in its success & has set the standard for its corporate philosophy.

History

The Anixter family's business history goes back to 1919. Along the way, they built a $1 billion a year wire & cable & connectivity products distribution company over a period of 30 years when it was purchased by Chicago financier Sam Zell in 1986 for approximately $600 million in a cash transaction. But the Anixter family did not rest on its laurels; they saw a huge potential in the telecommunica-tions related area & formed ANICOM, which focuses on the rapidly expanding need for wires, cables, & related connectivity products (including wireless infrastructure, test equipment, etc.).

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.
