Excellent day. Nice little breakout. Should fit in well with the ongoing TA trends. Light volume since this morning is a little disappointing, but considering it's the best volume day since December, and it's all above 1 5/8, I'd say the overall market perception is bullish.

IMNI news, GREAT, 70k volume, no sells, small float, going to pop. Friday February 26, 8:05 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release AutoSmart USA Opens America's First Internet New Car Showroom At Wholesale Prices IMNI and AUTOSMART USA have changed the game . . .

The opportunity to purchase or lease the new car or truck of their choice for as low as 2% over factory invoice. The AutoSmart USA web site ( www.autosmartusa.com ) having recently gone online and with the construction of their first walk-in Internet new car showroom in the South Florida market almost finished; (the paint is still wet), AutoSmart USA has jumped to the front of the line with new car and truck sales. The pending sales awaiting credit approval from the first week have a gross retail value of more than $400,000. As one of the world's first full-service Internet web sites devoted to the retail sale of cars, light trucks, SUV's and vehicle accessories, www.autosmartusa.com will allow a consumer to directly purchase a new vehicle without any of the haggling or hassle historically associated with the car-buying process. Consumers can go to autosmartusa.com and with the click of their mouse, the process begins to secure the lowest possible price for the new car or truck with the specific options requested and then proceed to finalize the sale including financing and leasing within minutes. There are currently thousands of leads pouring into the marketing offices of IMNI from prime exposure in IMNI's premier family Internet web site: www.shop-the-net.com, which has been online for almost five years and sells products and services worldwide. Leads are also coming in from animated Internet banners being seen on major web sites and the registration of www.autosmartusa.com to all search engines, directories and news groups that support the net. The major thrust of their marketing effort will begin early next month with the broadcast of the first interactive TV home shopping variety show featuring AutoSmart USA. This will be seen beginning in South Florida on ABC, UPN, WB, FOX, TCI Cable and others, before being rolled out to the rest of the country. IMNI wants to take advantage of the Tri-County market, specifically Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, served by the walk-in location, which ties directly into the potential viewing audience for the TV show of approximately five million consumers. IMNI has also developed an Associates Program designed to boost the Internet exposure of AutoSmart USA by placing a hyper-linked icon in potentially thousands of web sites across the web. This program is similar to those utilized by many of the retail Internet sites that have become household words all across America such as Amazon.com, www.amazon.com, (AMZN), and Music Boulevard, www.musicboulevard.com This associates program will pay the linked web site a commission for each car or truck that is sold based on tracking information.
