Attention SOWK Shareholders! In post #393 T A P made this claim... "Our dedication to our members and hard work promoting the interesting companies we select, is why in the last 7 weeks alone, the combined ROI of TAP's portfolio of stock picks has far out performed every market average and best performing mutual funds"
....and would like to present the proof! T A P has far outperformed the #1 Fund kaufmann.com
#1 Small Company Fund for the Ten Years Ending 12/31/98 Out of 70 equity funds for the period of 12/31/88 - 12/31/98, per Lipper Analytical Services* Recent Kaufmann Fund Performance*

In the last 2 months T A P's portfolio of stocks has had an overwhelming percentage gain compared to the last 10 years for the #1 fund above.In some cases, single companies that T A P picked have out gained the 10 year percent average of above fund. TNRG currently up over 1100% GMCH up 1500% JRSE up over 600% from where T A P selected them. WORC up about 150% and SOWK up over 40% (post-dividend adjusted) with a lot of potential going forward with new distribution agreements with Columbia House, Amazon.Com, Barnes & Nobles.Com and more new releases due out in March, with one of them being a Michael Jordan CD which will include other Basketball Greats.This Air Jordan CD could very well be SoundWorks #1 best seller of all times! The collectiblity of anything Michael Jordan, especially something this unique should lead the way for SOWK growth in '99.
Had an investor bought $10,000 in each of T A P stocks above at the ask price when T A P first selected them, the total $50,000 investment would be worth approximately $339,000 today at current prices.
