I took a position in Netcreations (NTCR) today. Look at these excellent numbers from the prospectus: Year Revenue Net Income 1996 476,000 (9,000) 1997 1,100,000 260,000 1998 3,400,000 606,000 1999 (9 mos.) 10,200,000 2,600,000 The growth rate, including the growth of profits, is top notch. Note also that while revenue tripled from 1998 to first nine months of 1999, net income more than quadrupled in the same time period! Gary Korn

Other reasons I like NTCR: 1. Virtually no debt. Just $275,000. 2. Customer list includes -- Dell Compaq Ziff-Davis J. Crew 3. Float is miniscule. IPO was 3.3MM shares. Total shares after the offering is 15MM. Gary Korn Gary Korn

Another new emailer IPO. Unlike NTCR, it loses money: 11/19/99 Reuters Eng. News Serv. 14:23:00 Reuters English News Service C) Reuters Limited 1999. Friday, November 19, 1999 USA: Exactis.com more than doubles in market debut. NEW YORK, Nov 19 (Reuters) - Shares of e-mail marketer Exactis.com Inc. more than doubled in their market debut on Friday after the company raised $53.2 million in its initial public stock offering. Shares of the Denver-based company were up 15-1/8 to 29-1/8 in afternoon trade on the Nasdaq stock market. "I like it; it's a great company," said analyst Jeff Hirschkorn at IPO.com. "MSNBC represents 18 percent of their sales, and established clients get a lot of attention in this marketplace." Exactis, which allows customers to send out large numbers of e-mail messages, is following the recent IPOs of competitors Netcentives Inc. and NetCreations Inc. . Both are trading above their original pricing levels. In its IPO, Exactis offered 3.8 million shares at $14 each through lead underwriter Thomas Weisel. Forrester Research estimates that three billion solicited commercial e-mails were sent during 1997 and predicts that 250 billion will be sent in 2002 for both consumer and business e-mail users. "As an alternative to banner ads, companies can utilize (e-mail advertisers) to retouch consumers and drive retail sales," said Michele Slack, an analyst at Jupiter Communications. Competition in the industry has intensified dramatically in the last 12 months. "A year ago, there were only four or five major players, where now you see 10 to 12 to 14 companies competing head-on," said Slack. Exactis had $7.3 million in revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, and a net loss of $6.4 million. It now has 12 million shares outstanding.
