Management Donald R. Podrebarac is president & CEO. He was founder of a nationally-known water company in Houston, & national sales & marketing manager for the water division of a Fortune 500 company. He developed several proprietary products including PurTestR. He is a licensed municipal water treatment plant operator, a certified bottled water plant operator, & a noted industry consultant. Financial Status (12/31/98)* Total Revenues $1.03 million * Detailed financial information is available at www.advisorinsight.com Recommendation I recommend VLPI for both midterm & long-term appreciation. This company is not only on the move, it is a classic turnaround, & I always like finding turnarounds. The IPO was at $3.25, & it fell to about $0.04 in 1996. The efforts of Don Podrebarac turned it around & as you can see, it's beginning to move up. Its success with its line of water safety test kits is extremely encouraging. Sales have exceeded expectations & the company continues to improve its product line. I like the fact that PurTestR kits satisfy a vital need. As the public becomes more & more aware of the potential dangers in their water, sales of the kits will accelerate. Here are some other things I like:

I picked these special situations from those presented to me each month by my network of brokers, market makers, PR companies, investment bankers, venture capitalists, & key people in various industries. My primary criterion is my opinion of the stock's potential to double or better in the next six to 12 months. Once a Sneak, a company becomes a candidate for a full recommen-da-tion. Our decision concerning which to recommend is based on what we find in continuing investigation. I may cover a Sneak I did a year ago, or one from the last issue; do not attach significance to timing. While Sneaks are preliminary recommenda-tions, do not use them for investment decisions unless you decide on the basis of facts you uncover in your own investigation. Keep in mind that the codes listed after each Sneak are preliminary, reflecting my first impression. They are subject to change based on further investigation. ...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. |
