How big were the other broker firms compared to Empire? What was the criteria. How many people were surveyed? How were they surveyed.? You may want to scrutinize the surveyor. Don't take such surveys at face value. Its a nasty world out there, and money greases many hands. Just who are the "surveyors". How long have they been doing surveys? What were the demographics? Just want to show another side of the coin.

Craig, seems that they can use some of FNTN's products to boost their ratings and give them an edge on the competition.

Empire Financial Group is close to rating of Ameritrade and Suretrade. Definitely not the best but are one of 26 evaluated. I don't think quality of FNTN Intranet Services is related to EFG on-line trading as is quality of oranges independent from the quality of roads around their plantations. FNTN needs visibility (EFG) and protection of NASDAQ market. The quality of Intranet is related to SIEMENS technology. Even if EFG report does not help and don't think it affects FNTN. Again, I'm looking from the Intranet business perspective only. Radim

Craig, It's good that FNTN is associated with a known firm. They need advertising and how else can you expose start-up company? If FNTN gets mentioned on TV this will boost the stock alone. As an example BAAT recently released PR with info about borrow money for adds and the stock went from .5 to .7 (or something like that). The move was actual based on false understanding of the PR but the significance of advertising was apparent. Radim

Heyy Craig, If report is same one Muriel Sebert is using in her new adds, she is proud that they have been dropped to #3 as I recall. Stating that being #1is not all its cracked up to be, the focus is on customers, yadda yadda yadda. At any rate, I am ashamed to say I have not performed thorough DD on Empire, so I can't tell you how long Empire has been in business, their customer base, their growth rate etc. as it compares to the other companies mentioned in this report. The fact remains that Empire is taking steps through FNTN to expand their business, will look forward to next years report. By the way do you have last years report, am wondering where Empire was listed last year (send a link to report perhaps one of us can do some gum shoeing (lolo loved that comment) and do some comparisans. Thanks for report info. All my best L & S FNTN,, DP
