Seeems like the buck stops here. To all my friends, have fun! Private Message To: From: Silicon Investor Wednesday, Feb 23 2000 9:51PM ET Dear Silicon Investor Members: I know you like it when I'm brief, so I am writing with just a quick update on a few things that are happening here on Silicon Investor. NetStock Direct Hundreds of companies now allow you to purchase stock directly from the company via Direct Stock Purchase Plans - a popular and rapidly growing method of long-term stock investing. In partnership with NetStock Direct, Silicon Investor now provides access to the latest DSPP (and DRIP) information on the Web. To learn more out about a specific company's direct stock purchase plan, click on the DSP/DRIP link when viewing stock data or messages for a particular company. Classic SI Format We've made some final additions and modifications to the Classic SI Customization Option, and we'll be rolling those changes out this week. We expect to turn off the old SI site within the next few days, so please make sure you migrate your portfolio to the new SI as quickly as possible. I'd like to specifically mention two items regarding the Classic SI format. First, we will be adding a Carlson Online link to the message pages of Canadian stock threads. The link will be found in the quote box at the bottom of message page. If you have a Canadian thread (or any thread, for that matter) that needs a quote attached to the message pages, please send a private message to SI Admin (Bob) Member 4591117 Second, as mentioned previously, since the Clubhouses are served from a separate database, we can leave the old Clubhouses running until we have a suitable replacement. Since there are only about 30 Clubhouses, we have created an alphabetical listing on the following SI Clubhouse Table of Contents page: siliconinvestor.com Clubhouses will have exactly the same functionality as they did on the old site. Fundamental mutual fund research - by Morningstar Silicon Investor is proud to announce a new relationship with Morningstar, the leading provider of mutual fund research, information, and analysis. In addition to quotes, charts, and historical prices already provided by SI, you can now get detailed information on any mutual fund regarding risk, return, a description of the fund and much more. Last, but certainly not least, as you may have noticed, we also announced a new strategic relationship with National Discount Brokers, in which we will be integrating brokerage transaction capabilities directly into SI. You can check out the press release at: siliconinvestor.com We will provide additional details soon regarding what that relationship means for Silicon Investor members. Thanks, Bryan Burdick Managing Director Silicon Investor
