We have added a new company to the Watch List. It is in the sub-category which we have created and named the Internet/Music...or was it the Music/Internet Watch List. The name of the company is MediaX and the symbol is MXMXD. If you add this to your watch list, use the symbols MXMXD and MXMX. The "D" should drop off shortly.
Our apologies for the delayed delivery of Saturday's e-mail. It was lost somewhere in cyberspace. Had it been delivered on time (12:00 PST) you would have been able to see the live Rod Stewart concert from London. It was awesome. We will notify subscribers if there is a re-broadcast.
In any event we believe we are first to discover this company. As we mentioned in the e-mail yesterday, they are additionally a client of Perry & Co., a public relations firm and the parent company of the Internet Stock Review.
If you click on the link to follow, you can listen to an Interview with Rod Stewart with a few clips from his "When We Were The New Boys" Album. If you minimize the RealPlayer box when it pops up, you will be able to read this letter and follow the links--while the interview plays in the background.

The purpose of this letter is to aggregate all the financial oriented links to give you the opportunity to quickly begin your due diligence in this extremely interesting company.
We would describe this company as a leading edge (really) developer of web sites which are designed to sell merchandise that relates to some of the nation's (world's) top artists and celebrities. It takes about five seconds at the Rod Stewart Live.com web site to see that the tech team behind this company--is without any question--one of the best in the country.
The game plan is fairly simple and straight forward. First, find a hugely popular artist (music, film, etc.) and create a web site that will draw huge crowds by virtue of that star or celebrities popularity. Next, keep the crowds there by loading it with contests, chat, interviews, sound clips and photos. Last, enable the site to generate revenues by selling merchandise (tickets, records, videos, tee-shirts, etc.) which relates to the celebrity. It's genius.
Of course we make it sound quite a bit easier than it is. After all, how does one get to do the Official Rod Stewart web site. That's where "connections" come in. Nancy Poertner, the President, was a big-time Hollywood Celebrity manager for 14 years. The international department of a record label she lead resulted in five international gold records, five top fifteen singles and two number one singles. She has worked Matthew Broderick, Toni Braxton, Suzanne Hoffs (Bangles), Morrisey and of course Rod Stewart.
The company recently signed a deal with Valley Media, the world's largest fulfillment houses, which will allow MediaX the ability to offer 260,000 titles of pre-recorded music on CD, video and DVD from every major label and studio in the country. This leads us to believe they have plans which are not yet reflected in the current offering of web sites. We will be closely reporting on the progress of the company in the months to come.
Pay special attention to the "Big-Brother" web site offering (see link below) based on the classic novel by George Orwell "1984." The book has sold over 40,000,000 copies (not a mis-print) making the # 2 book in the world and it still sells 500,000 copies a year.

================================================== DISCLAIMER. Important Distinction #1. First and foremost the Watch List is just that. A watch list. It is not a buy list. Meaning that there will be no buys or sales issued by the Internet Stock Review. If this was a buy list, you can rest assured that we would crank up our Public Relations arm into high gear, full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes to make everyone know just how brilliant we were when we issued the list. Interviews on CNBC, articles in Barron's and accolades in the Wall Street Journal--the only thing we love more than money is praise and fame--but it just ain't gonna happen. What the Internet Stock Review is...is a "news aggregation service". With the advent of the Internet, everyone knows what that term means. What it means to us is the following: We will follow the progress of as many Internet related publicly traded stocks as humanly possible (The large, the small and the minuscule) and advise you of when they have reported news. As a subscriber to the Internet Stock Review, this means you will be able to broadly follow the entire industry right from one single e-mail. We will report who released news and point (with hyper links) to where the news can be found. We try to use Yahoo! Finance as extensively as possible so we don't send you all over cyberspace. We love Yahoo, you will too. Any decisions as to buy or sell however, are strictly up to you. Which leads to important distinction #2. How do we get paid. The Internet Stock Review is owned by a Public Relations firm (Perry & Co.) which specializes in getting (or creating) coverage for publicly traded companies. As such, is important to note that anytime we say anything about a company, it is because the company is a client of our parent company, or because we would like them to be a client of our parent company. In a nut shell, you can throw out any thoughts of us being even a little bit impartial. It just ain't gonna happen. We love everyone. Final note is we that have over 10,000 subscribers so please excuse our dust. (i.e. dupes etc.) We will be signing on with a list server soon with the web site.
