Return to Buying opportunity - Market maker out of business
 
Market maker Monroe Parker went out of business in late
November/early December and sold off all its holdings.
This dumping had a profound effect on 5 stocks in
particular- VCLL, FLEM, CXIL, ACUC and NTST- which
MOPA launched as IPO's. As examples- almost overnight,
VCLL dropped from $5-.50 and FLEM from $9-$1. Now with
tax loss season over the news is just starting to get
out, all five stocks are poised to make a big run up from
the $1 range back to the $3-6 range where they belong
once the news hits brokers and investors. THERE IS
NOTHING WRONG WITH THESE STOCKS- its just the market
maker liquidating inventory- think of it as an after christmas
sale- everything thing is 70-80% off regular price!

Today, Jan 6, VCLL put out the news:

ThermaCell Search for New Investment Banking Firm

MIAMI, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- ThermaCell Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLL - news, VCLLW
- news) said it is looking for a new investment banking firm and additional market makers.

The Company began the search after learning that as of late November- early December, Monroe
Parker Securities, Inc. had ceased market-making activities, was not soliciting new customers or
accounts, and had limited its business to handling agency transactions to close out existing securities
positions. Monroe Parker served as the representative underwriter to the Company's initial public
offering in March 1997.

''We have a real Company here with great potential, we've made great progress in the last year, and
we owe it to our public shareholders to do everything we possibly can to create value for them,'' said
John Pidorenko, Chairman, President and CEO of ThermaCell. Biltmore Securities, Inc., Herzog
Heine Geduld, Inc., and M. H. Meyerson & Co., Inc. continue to make markets in ThermaCell
securities. Mr. Pidorenko said Monroe Parker's withdrawal as a market maker was made without
any communication with ThermaCell.

ThermaCell securities are also available via two electronic communication networks -- B-Trade
Services and The Island ECN.

ThermaCell was founded to develop, manufacture and market insulating materials and coatings using
an innovative, microsphere insulation technology. Microspheres are uniform, hollow, glass bubbles
that look like fine, white sand. Mixed in paints, coatings and other building materials, microspheres
create a barrier that can be more effective and less expensive than conventional insulation. The first
phase of the Company's strategy is to acquire manufacturing and distribution capacity in paints and
coatings in order to systematically introduce its ThermaCool product line.

As previously reported, tests on ordinary shingles on Florida homes painted with ThermaCool Roof
Coating dramatically reduced temperatures by more than 30%, reducing wear on the roof outside
and air conditioning needs inside. NASCAR Racing Teams report that ThermaCool Racing Products
reduce the extraordinary heat in driver compartments by 50-60%, reducing wear on equipment as
well as drivers. For more information, contact ThermaCell investor/public relations at 212-527-4808

FLEM put out basically the same news Dec 31:
biz.yahoo.com

The bottom line is that these FAB 5 stocks are not down
because of their fundamentals(both ACUC and CXIL are now
trading way below their book value)- they are only
TEMPORARILY down because of MOPA's dumping and related
tax loss dumping. The news today spiked VCLL to $1.87
and all the others are now just starting to move up strongly
to their previous pricing. This is a huge opportunity
to pick up some really cheap stock and make triple
the money before the news spreads! The only drawback
is the big spreads due to the MOPA market maker pulling
out- but that still leaves at least 3 MM's for each
stock, and VCLL, CXIL, ACUC, and NTST are all NASDAQ-listed
with full SEC reporting.

Out of the 5 stocks I like VCLL and FLEM to recover
from the $1 range to the $3-5 range the fastest.
VCLL has a float of only 1.6 million shares- and the most
total outstanding is NTST with 8 million.
