AV--Ithought we might get a kick out of the following news item. Many of his successes mimic those of this thread. I wonder if WE are the reason behind their success<GGG> By my crude count, 17 of the 25 stocks are discussed on our thread. Coincidence??? {Probably<GGG>) Andrew Friday March 27, 6:02 am Eastern Time Company Press Release Stockwhiz.com Takes the Investment World by Storm DAVIS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 27, 1998--Stockwhiz.com (a.k.a. Stockwhiz On-Line) took the investment world by storm when it gifted its members with a 28% gain in their debut month. What is more amazing was how it was done. By timing heavily traded stocks, which tend to carry less risk than small-cap stocks, Stockwhiz On-Line was able to treat its members to this stellar performance. At the beginning of February (also the company's official debut under the name Stockwhiz On-Line), they recommended such common household names as America Online (NASDAQ:AOL - news), Compaq (NASDAQ:CPQ - news), Dell (NASDAQ:DELL - news), Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL - news), and Boeing (NASDAQ:BA - news), all of which were recommended to be sold at 15-44% gains before the end of the month. As well as having a fantastic premier, Stockwhiz waved off the sophomore jinx by closing out its long-term portfolio for April at a 23.7% gain. As well as providing a ''long-term'' portfolio for each individual month, Stockwhiz.com provides a ''short-term'' portfolio, which is meant to be traded on a daily basis -- in other words, for daytraders. According to Joseph Pugno, Editor-in-Chief of the Stockwhiz newsletter, ''Our daily newsletter is perfect for the entire spectrum of investors that exists. The explanations and instructions in each newsletter are formatted to be basic enough to be understood by those who are still new to investing, yet specific enough to be beneficial to those who are veteran investors. We even provide special accommodations for those who daytrade for a living; providing them with timely intra-day investment advice, opinions on specific trades unrelated to our portfolios, and specific instructions on how to execute option trades. We don't feel there is anyone who would not benefit somehow from receiving our newsletter.'' In addition to stock recommendations, and explanations of each of those companies covered, the Stockwhiz newsletter also gives comments on U.S. and foreign markets and examines any issues that they feel are relevant to the futures of those markets. Michael Neves, Director of Marketing and Sales for Stockwhiz, remarked, ''It's absolutely amazing how many members we have who join just to get our view on the market. Many investors seem to want a wrap-up of market activities without having to read 10 articles, or watch an hour of TV. Once investors find that by spending only 66 cents/day they can get the Stockwhiz newsletter delivered to their virtual doorstep, each and every weekday morning, they become dependent on it. They come to realize that this is the most cost-efficient Stock Newsletter available.'' As well as the daily newsletter, a membership at Stockwhiz On-Line provides members with the ability to post their own stock tips on the message board and access to the ''links'' page, which houses over 200 different financial links. Here is a list of some of the stocks that were covered by Stockwhiz On-Line in February and March.
