BULLETIN / Kerm's Portfolio & Listing Revisions

On August 5th, I stated that I was going to focus on fewer companies.
(Ref. techstocks.com

Between the 5th and 7th of August, I chopped the #@&^)*&@ out of the
existing structure. In doing so, I took a serious financial hit on
the whole of the portfolio. Even though I continue to like most of
the companies I had previously listed, I came to the decision to drop
coverage on those that carried higher operations and financial risk.

In short, of the 48 listings prior to these transactions, 23 were
eliminated. I have added 3 new listed companies.

I eliminated dominant oil producers and companies with a high debt
load. Most service sector sector listed companies were also
eliminated for the longer term future of these firms appear bleak at
best.

Further to these changes, other changes were made this past Friday.

What results is a restructured portfolio with a long list of companies
whose shares are on the downside. However, I am also confident that
the current holdings will provide a sound financial base to provide a
good return over the longer term. Overall, I believe my portfolio
profit/loss is slightly in the red. Keep in mind as you review the
numbers, one can't determine overall progress performance for previous
transactions are not identified - just the status of my current
holdings. I won't really know of the overall status until I perform
the Accounting Report that I post periodically. I plan to update that
status in the very short term. I will also be consistent with weekly
progress reports and monthly portfolio reports.

The format to illustrate holdings has changed to reflect what I
identify as Level I and Level II Listings/Portfolios, determined with
the primary factor being market capitalization.

What follows is my list of changes which will bring one up to date
with my current holdings.
