Disclosure
Our most important policy is shared by everyone here. It is: "Companies
selected for inclusion in CS have never been, are not now, & will
never be, charged a fee of any kind for editorial coverage, nor
are any prerequisites imposed, other than my personal opinion that
the company has an excellent chance of doubling in price during
the following year."
CS does not rent, sell, or divulge its subscription list. We do
this to protect our subscribers' privacy. Rosanne & I are owners
of WallStreet- Corner.com, Inc. ("WSC"). Per disclaimers on the
site, WSC charges $2,500 for six months of participation, but there
has never been, is not now, & never will be a charge for editorial
coverage in CS, in the "Larry Oakley's Opinion," Larry Oakley's
Weekly Stock Pick," or "Larry Oakley's Daily Comment" sections of
WallStreetCorner, in my speaking engagements at investment seminars
& conferences, or on radio or TV shows in which I am interviewed.
While Rosanne & I are not owners, officers, or directors of Stockcom
Inc. ("SI"), I occasionally do some consulting for SI.
A company's unique product or service, growth potential, & other
fundamentals that cause me to write about it are similar to characteristics
WSC &/or SI seek. Result: Some companies covered in CS may be invited
by WSC to be participants, or possibly by SI to be customers. I
also cover some companies that became WSC participants or that might
have become SI clients before they were considered candidates for
CS. Being a participant on WSC's site is not a prerequisite to being
covered in CS. I point out to every prospective WSC participant
that coverage in CS is & has always been free of charge, & is not
a part of their participation. I am not aware of which companies
SI may serve, but of the 25 Update Briefs, Sneak Previews, & Recommendations
in this issue, BHIT, DCHT, GAMM, JOCK, & USVO are participants on
WSC.
The Recommendations, Update Briefs, & Sneak Previews in this newsletter
may include forward-looking information as that term is defined
in the Private Security Reform Act of 1995, & which can be identified
by such terminology as "predicts," "projects," "believes," "estimates,"
"should," "contemplates," "expects," "anticipates," "may," "will,"
&/or any variation of these &/or similar terms. Such information
& the related company are subject to many risks & uncertainties.
There can be no assurance that actual results, business conditions,
business develop-ments, losses & contingencies, & local & foreign
factors will not differ materially from those suggested in the forward-looking
statements as a result of all sorts of factors (just a few examples:
market conditions, competition, advances in technology, acquisitions,
mergers, potential litigation, personnel changes, market changes,
capital availability). In short, there are absolutely no guarantees
when it comes to future performance. That's one reason why I strongly
recommend that you talk to a senior management person at any company
in which you contemplate taking a position, & form your own opinion
before proceeding with any investment.

Important Strategies
These comments apply to every situation mentioned in Conservative
Speculator. Special situation, low-priced, micro-cap, & high-gain-potential
stocks have high risk. Fortunately, not many speculative situations
turn out to be disasters, but some do -- that is a risk you must
accept. Here are three of my most important strategies: 1. Be prudent
-- the total funds allocated to speculative stocks should be limited
to a small percentage of your cash, certainly no more than you could
lose without discomfort. I then suggest no more than 5% of that
small portion be invested in any one stock, to spread your risk.
.... 2. Do not accept my opinion as the reason to invest. Call the
company. Get a feel yourself. If you are not totally comfortable,
pass. I give you an ample number of possibilities. My task is to
expose you to potentially profitable situations. You have the responsibility
of making any investment decision. Do not give up that responsibility.
.... 3. I suggest you apply a moving stop-loss strategy. If the
price goes up, raise your stop-loss guideline point to something
like 20% below the new price. Keep doing that as the price rises.
If the price goes down to your stop-loss point, grit your teeth
& sell. This limits loss, but lets profits increase.
