I received the following from a friend who received the below information from the company's PR person. Added to my position today. Ken >>1999 IN REVIEW Stockgroup has spent 1999 building, developing and growing the company; but the big growth will be this year. For example, we have increased from 20 to 70 employees, launched the new site smallcapcenter.com in October, doubled the sales staff in the last two months, raised money over the last 6 months; to strategically set the company for strong results in the year 2000. While positioning the company for 2000, sales have grown 150% in 1999. We are also the largest brand leader in our space and trade at 15% of our comparable.
