Elite Trader Announces New Online Training Course for Day Traders
CARY, N.C., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Elite Trader (www.elitetrader.com), the leading online community for real-time stock traders, is pleased to announce the availability of ''Advanced Day Trading,'' a cutting-edge, online training course for those interested in day trading Nasdaq securities.

The course covers the techniques and strategies used by successful day traders to profit from intraday price movements in high volume stocks like 3Com Corporation (Nasdaq: COMS - news), Applied Materials Inc. (Nasdaq: AMAT - news), and Intel Corp. (Nasdaq: INTC - news). Specifically, the course teaches students how to use trading tools like Nasdaq Level II to identify potential winners while simultaneously avoiding stocks that are losers or in grid lock. Traders also learn the specifics of the main order-execution systems (SOES, SelectNet) and how to trade between the bid/ask spread using an ECN (Electronic Communications Network). The text is illustrated with over 30 sample screen shots of Level II, print reports, and intraday charts to help students learn the concepts rapidly.

''Making the course available over the internet enables us to quickly update it as order handling rules and system changes occur within the Nasdaq stock market. And that provides all students, past and present, with a continually updating source of day trading education. This process of continually updating and improving the course would be extremely difficult if it were only available in print,'' said Elite Trader's Editor and Publisher, Baron Robertson. ''And with the support of our premier partners such as A-T Financial, Zacks Investment Research, IQ Net, StockTools, and ichat, we are able to provide our students, as well as all visitors to our web site, with excellent opportunities to communicate with each other through our real-time chat room and public message board.''

Samsung Puts Consumer Electronics Spin on Cable Modems, Debuts Product at Western Cable Show
December 2, 1997

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE) via Individual Inc. -- Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. one of the ten largest consumer electronics companies in the world, will demonstrate a prototype of its first cable modem at the upcoming Western Cable Show in Anaheim, Calif.

Code-named InfoLink, the cable modem is the first of a family of Samsung cable modems, each targeted at specific user segments ranging from casual home users to sophisticated corporate users. The products will initially be sold to cable operators and, in 1998, through Samsung's broad distribution channel of retail outlets.

Samsung cable modems will incorporate IOS Network software from Cisco Systems and Broadcom's cable modem chipsets. Samsung supplies design expertise, network and system management software, memories and components, its high quality, high reliability manufacturing capabilities, and marketing clout as a consumer electronics giant.

InfoLink, an external modem for use with PCs, is targeted for home users. Remote diagnostics and remote software upgradability ensure ease of maintenance and use. InfoLink incorporates the basic functions specified in the Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (DOCSIS). DOCSIS is the work of Multimedia Cable Network System Partners, Ltd. (MCNS) and is the most widely adopted specification for data communications over hybrid fiber coaxial networks.

Future Samsung cable modems will be as widely interoperable as possible by complying with additional relevant industry standards. An internal PC card version and a telco-return cable modem are next on the drawing boards for mid 1998 introductions.

InfoLink will be in field trials starting in December and running through the end of first quarter 1998. Production volume shipping will begin in the second quarter of 1998.

Samsung's cable modems will be manufactured at its Suwon plant in Korea. The Suwon plant is the manufacturing center for Samsung's consumer electronics products, including televisions, VCRs, computers, peripherals, telecommunications and networking equipment.

Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. was founded in 1969. Samsung Electronics, with revenues of $19 billion, is a company of Korean-based Samsung Group. With over 20 years of development and innovation in the areas of technology and product manufacturing, Samsung Electronics has become established as a worldwide symbol of reliability.

Samsung Electronics focuses on technical innovation and quality of products that include consumer electronics products, telecommunications and multimedia network systems, home appliances, and semiconductors. Samsung has consistently invested an exceptionally high percentage of gross sales in research and development facilities and programs to maintain its leadership position in consumer electronics and telecommunications. Samsung's cable modem product development represents a portion of this investment.
