Everything4Less is a link to Cendant's Netmarket.com
National Media (NM) is a retailing and infomercial specialist. They have teamed with Cendant to creat
Everything4Less.com, which is actually another name for netmarket.com. They will be launching a huge
infomercial campaign today to promote the site. When people go there, they will see that the site is owned and
operated by Cendant. So, the bottom line is that both NM and CD shares should take off like rockets very soon.
Already NM is up about 5, from 7 to 12+ in the last few days, and CD has also been moving up strongly.
Hopefully the news will also hit CNBC, etc., and start a panic buy like we have seen with BAMM, MALL,
AMEN, COOL, AMZN, etc...
I attach a recent press release for more info..
