In rebuttal to the very slanted SD article, here is one I would like to repost that came out a month ago on the Webstockwizard website.
"Now, let's talk about a company that we have recently added to our watch list.
3. NEW WATCH LIST COMPANY:
PRO NET LINK (OTC BB: PNLK) Trading around 2.
Target Prices: Jan. 1999 $14, Jan. 2000 $35
ProNetLink is a completely internet-based company that provides business information and resources on their web site vital to the expansion of international trade and commerce. Still in a developmental phase, the company has spent almost $1,000,000 in creating their web site and service that is the largest source of business resources on the internet. Through ProNetLink's worldwide database of 2.75 million companies, members can locate manufacturers or buyers, send immediate requests for quotes, generate the international paperwork required to carry out a transaction, produce inter-business communications, determine trade rules, arrange for printing of color brochures and sell sheets, find up-to-the-minute exchange rates, and even arrange financing 89 countries. The company gathers its information from trade organizations, private associations, and governmental agencies devoted towards the promotion of business growth. Pro Net Link has enabled searches similar to web-based searches of Yahoo and other search engines of their 2.75 million companies worldwide with categories such as company name, brand name, location, or type of product. Companies can immediately contact the other company for product and service inquires once they have found potential partners via a web-based form. Pro Net Link has also has made arrangements with international banking facilities for financing on transactions conducted on their site. The company provides comprehensive updated shipping information and currency conversions. Topping these many features, Pro Net Link provides direct mail services, classified ads, bulletin boards, international business and industry news, and comprehensive corporate advertising. Pro Net Link currently operates in six master languages and plans on expansion of that number in the near future. The founder of Pro Net Link, Jean-Pierre Collardeau, has had extensive experience in international trade having served in the banking community in many countries and has spoken at seminars, universities, and companies seeking to expand their marketing knowledge world wide. Members of Pro Net Link usually include municipalities, chamber of commerce, manufacturing companies, individuals, export and import brokers, artisans, tradesman and governments. The company charges less than a dollar a day for their services and will earn much of its revenue from advertising similar to other web content providers publicly and privately held such as Deja News which provides a site for the free exchange of computer-related questions and answers, Big Charts, which provides free comprehensive charting of stocks and other investments, or CNet's Shareware.Com which provides a free one-stop site for easily distributed computer software called shareware. To gain membership accounts and advertise its site, Pro Net Link plans on using television, chamber of commerce introduction, export & import associations meetings and government introduction to its companies, direct mail, sponsorship of commerce agencies, magazines, newspapers, feature articles and more. The company excepts credit cards, checks, Cyber Cash and other forms of payment. Pro Net Link also aims to gain publicity and support by the United States and other embassies in order to expand international internet commerce. In addition to advertising and membership costs, Pro Net Link will develop revenues from customer lead fax services, lead development, and direct mail services. Pro Net Link recently opened their web site and is still in the developmental phase. While the company's web site is almost completed, the company continues to aggressively market their service. The company's stock price has recently been plagued by several problems that should be understood thoroughly. The company's stock came to the market in late April when internet stocks were undergoing high valuations and the market drove the company's stock up to around $8. Unfortunately, in the month after its arrival on the market, internet stocks, especially small and microcapitalization companies, tumbled in reaction to financial problems in Asia. To make matters even worse, Chatfield Dean & Co., a small investing firm dedicated towards personal investments, initiated coverage of the company with a sell rating. Chatfield Dean likely sold short many shares of the company before issuing the statement. They criticized the company harshly stating that the company had summoned the services of the subsidized financial publication, Stock Genie, in order to promote their stock price. Then, shortly afterwards, Chatfield Dean issued another release criticizing the company, in all likelihood, to drive its stock price lower. Pro Net Link counteracted the statements stating that they were unfounded by issuing several news releases highlighting the company's exact financial condition that Chatfield Dean & Co. stated was in question. While investing in Pro Net Link, at this point, is based greatly on speculation, the company has already started marketing their site and has received remarkable results. Pro Net Link reported that, for the month of April, before the promoted launch of its web site, they received over 500,000 hits. They then reported that, for the one week ending May 17, ProNetLink recorded 532,290 hits. The company faces no competition. Furthermore, the company's management, representation, and use of resources far outweighs that of many Fortune 500 companies. They have issued many updates assuring investors and customers of their progress and even recently announced a voluntary stock lock-up of the officer's shares for one year to reassure investors that they are interested in creating the world's most used international commerce web site and service. We believe that his company will achieve amazing results within the next few years as the company completes the development of their web based services, as they aggressively market their services and stock shares to businesses and investors worldwide, and as we experience drastic increases in international internet commerce.

Lastly, we would like to warn you of several other financial e-mail publications in circulation today that may be misleading. If you have subscriptions to FutureSuperStock, EmergingStock, Stock Genie or others, you should be informed that these are paid publications with vested interests in the companys they highlight. Their sole purpose is to obtain revenues from companies that wish to boost their stock price and volume by being mentioned in the publication's newsletter. Furthermore, these publications use little to no criteria to filter the stocks which they highlight but, rather, except payment from almost any company which wishes to be included in their newsletter. Web Stock Wizards does not except payment from companies highlighted in our newsletter and uses extensive criteria including technical analysis of financial ratios, charts, volume, industry outlook, growth expectations, management, public relations, competition, as well as many other factors to decide on which companies to highlight. Among the internet stock publications in existence, we feel that there are several that can be considered credible sources of information. These include Steve Harmon's Internet Stock Report published by Mecklermedia, InternetStocks by BancAmerica Robertson Stephens analyst Keith Benjamin, and The Internet Stock Review, which, although is a subsidized publication, remains unbiased towards specific companies.
