To All:

Some advice on DUE DILLY:

Care of Mel Viticus

"""A very wise person shared this with me as a matrix for launching DD on new investments...thought I'd also share with you as a public service gesture:

1 - What is the number of outstanding shares?, Float?
2 - What percentage of shares are held by insiders?
3 - Will there be an issuance of shares in the near future?
4 - Does the company see a reverse split in the future?
5 - What products/services does the company offer?
6 - How will the company market its products/services?
7 - Do you have any contracts (sales) completed or in negotiation
.....(when is their closure date)?
8 How does the company's products/servicescompare to its ......competitors'?
9 - What is the company doing to increase shareholder value?
10 - How is the company's monthly/yearly cash flow?
11 - What is the company's monthly expenses to monthly cash inflows?
12 - What is the company's debt to equity ratio?
13 - What is your Book Value compared to your competitors?
14 - Does the company have any major corporate alliances?
15 - What method for raising funds will the company pursue?

An additional question may be asking for the names of the
principals ( CEO, Pres, CFO etc ) and their qualifications.

Reading the company's latest 10-K (annual report) and following
10-Q's (quarterly reports) on EDGAR will often give you additional
pertinent questions to ask.

Always ask that a copy of the last 10-K and the following 10-Q's OR available company financials, if it is a 'non-reporting' company, be mailed to you, along with any available Investor Relations info packet.

You will then be able to determine for yourself whether many of the questions above are answered factually and correctly. A good company will also have much additional info in its IR packet."""
