Editorials

Hurricane Floyd: We were among the 2 million people who had to evacuate -- that horror story caused us to lose a week -- thus this issue will be on line late Monday, October 4, 1999 rather than on Friday, October 1, 1999 -- we made up most of the time by burning midnight & weekend oil. Fortunately, we suffered only minor damage.

In-Between Issue Updates: I've received requests for timely updates in between issues plus key information on special situations I am following.

We will do as asked. It will not involve additional cost to you. To do it, we need your e-mail address. Please fax it to us at 843-705-5592, or e-mail it to us at up415@aol.com -- just say you're a Conservative Speculator subscriber & want e-mail updates. We'll start sending e-mails when we receive a reasonable number of e-mail addresses.

Editorial Comment: I've gotten many calls indicating you particularly like my Sneak Previews. I'm therefore giving each a bit more space, & including a greater number of them. In each issue, I will give special attention to one Special Situation that I feel requires a more complete treatment to get the "nut" of the situation across. It will be called the "Situation of the Month." There may be some occasions when I cover two such situations.

WallStreetCorner.com: Check out "Larry Oakley's Opinion" while you are at WallStreetCorner. I will be changing that section more often -- it's another way in addition to the planned e-mail communications to get special information & my personal opinion on things to you in between issues.

Incidentally, we feel strongly that participation by public companies on www.WallStreetCorner.com is one of the most effective things a company's management can do for their shareholders. If you have a position in a company you feel would benefit from having greater exposure to financial professionals & investors worldwide, please suggest that someone at the company call us at 843-705-5591, fax us at 843-705-5592, or e-mail us at up415@aol.com. Thank you.

W3OTC, Inc.
...continued from page one

The site focuses on empowering the average investor to invest knowledgeably in those emerging equity companies

 

that have under $300 million in sales. It provides independent editorial on mid- to small-cap companies. The strategic difference between W3OTC's portal & the "research" sites like nasdaq.com is that the investor must arrive at a research site with a company or stock symbol that was previously discovered elsewhere. WOTC's site is the "elsewhere."

The site remains active while in the process of re-design. It is being updated & will be re-launched as "www.Emerging Equities.com."

The site's targeted market is the projected 1.5 million active on-line investors expected by the year 2000. The expectation is actually for 15 million online investors, but only about 10% of them are expected to do 12 or more trades a year.

This segment consists of educated, wealthy, computer literate people. One demographic estimate is that 64% have a household net worth above $100,000, 22% have an annual household income above $100,000, 54% are between 36 & 55 years old, & 78% are college educated.

History

W3OTC, Inc. (dba W3OTC.com), incorporated originally as Kingston Financial Corp. 8/10/93, adopted its present name 2/25/97. It is an outgrowth of The Investment Reporter, a monthly small-cap investment newspaper published since 1989.

Business/Products

W3OTC.com acts as a portal to emerging equities. It enables under-discovered & undervalued public companies to cost effectively attract new shareholders on a global basis. It empowers the investor in the three phases of the investment process: discovery, research, & investing.

The difference is discovery; W3OTC's search engine targets only profitable, small-cap companies, which remain fairly undiscovered outside of their local geographic area. Investors no longer have to be toppled by waves of research information, which drowns them in charts & trade jargon, frequently on marginal companies. W3OTC provides only useful, actionable information updated daily by the editorial staff of The Investment Reporter, which has provided critical news to financial professionals for over 10 years.

Such notable entities as Standard & Poor's, WallStreetCorner.com, Inc., & Zack's Research are among the constantly expanding strategic alliances insuring that timely, critical information is available to the investor.

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.
