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. A1 Internet.com, Inc.

[R-6; M-7; L-9] Disclosure: Our most important policy is shared by everyone at Conservative Speculator ("CS"). 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 the privacy of our subscribers. Rosanne & I are owners of WallStreetCorner.com, Inc. ("WSC"). As you can see from the disclaimers on the site, WSC charges public companies $2,500 for a full six months of participation on the site, but as indicated, there has never been, is not now, & never will be any charge for editorial coverage in CS, or in the "Larry Oakley's Opinion" section of WallStreetCorner, or in my lectures at investment seminars & conferences, or on any radio or TV shows in which I'm interviewed. While Rosanne & I are not owners or officers of Stockcom Inc. ("SI"), I am a consultant to them. SI exposes emerging growth companies to brokers throughout the United States on a one-on-one discussion basis. A company's unique product or service, growth potential, & other fundamentals that cause me to write about it are similar to characteris-tics SI &/or WSC seek in clients or participants. Result: Some companies covered in CS may be invited by SI to use its services, or by WSC to be participants. I also cover some compa-nies that became SI or WSC clients or participants before they were considered candidates for CS. Becoming a SI client, or being a participant on WSC's site is not a prerequisite to being covered in CS. In any case, it is always pointed out to every company I talk with that coverage in Conservative Speculator is & has always been free of charge, & there are no prerequisites of any kind other than my conviction that the company has the potential to appreciate. Of the 25 Update Briefs, Sneak Previews, & Recommendations in this issue, DCHT, JOCK, & VLPI are either SI clients &/or participants on WSC's site. If Rosanne or I, directly or beneficially, invest in any company recommend-ed in CS, or that is a client (or candidate client that we know about) of SI, or a participant in WSC's site, I will disclose it in the next issue. If any company in which we have an investment is covered, I will disclose that as part of the coverage of that company. 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. ...continued on next page, click here |

Disclaimer: The public companies featured in the Research Reports or Corporate Profiles listed in the "Special Situation" section on the Home Page of www.WallStreetCorner.com (WSC) are our regular clients. Each such client, as of 12/1/2009, pays a modest cash fee for our three-month trial period, & on occasion may provide us with a negotiated number of Form 144 restricted shares as an incentive for our service. We may 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 Research Report or Corporate Profile prepared & posted on the particular client company involved. The basic coverage provided to such clients primarily includes the preparation of their Research Report or Corporate Profile, posting it here at WallStreetCorner.com, & the distribution of email alerts to our international database of investors and financial professionals when their Report or Profile is initially posted, & each time their Report or 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 Report or Profile & issue an additional email alert to our totally opt-in email database (as of December 2009, 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 Research Report or 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 & want the exposure afforded at WallStreetCorner.com, email Larry Oakley at up415@aol.com or call him at 843-645-2729. Information displayed by WallStreetCorner in its Research Reports or Corporate Profiles, & 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, &/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 a 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) Examine the company’s latest financial information usually available on the company’s web site, and 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, or 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 Research Reports & Corporate Profiles plus the email distributions that are a part of the client’s package. 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.
