Madly, you can always get back into KANA.

The big event is not until the 21st. I think it will rise until then as there will be important announcements made and website launches.

Those constant PRs you refer to will sure help too.

Have you seen the following? It was mailed out last weekend by Stockprofit. You can subscribe for free at Stockprofit@hotmail.com I am making a killing with their picks.

Good luck with your stocks.

Greetings everyone.

We promised there wouldn't be another newsletter until month's end, but we felt compelled to put this one together to emphasize the explosive potential we feel is present in KANA stock within the next month.

We first want to detail some of our better known picks, so that you can judge the value of our opinions in the harsh light of our past performance. Note that there are only 2 stocks that we've picked so far this year that are trading below the level we picked them at (SFLK, GNEN), though both offered small gains shortly after we'd picked them, and both provided opportunites to sell before dropping. JOES has also dropped below our pick price, but it had crossed our original target so we still count that as a success.

Symbol/Pick Price/High/Potential Gain /Time/Reached Target?
KANA (Jan.) 30c $ 4.00 1200 % 2 wks Y
BANY 11c, 40c $ 1.40 1180 % 1 yr. n/a (long-term pick)
PLFM('98) 17c $ 1.90 1000 % 1 mo. Y
PLFM('99) 62c $ 1.30 110 % 2 wks. N
GMCH 22c 66c 200 % 2 wks. N
KANA(Mar.)$1,1.75 1.75 75 % 1 wk. n/a (in play)
GLOW 20c 80c 300 % 1 mo. Y
AVBC 16c, 75c $ 1.12 600 % 1 mo. Y
DRMD $ 6.00 $ 17.00 183 % 1.5 mo. Y
AAFGQ 6c, 21c 66c 1000 % 2 wks. Y
BIGG $5.00,7.00 $ 9.00 80 % 3 wks. n/a (still in play)
TNRG 23c 41c 86 % 2 wks. n/a (still in play)
SJET $ 17.00 $ 24.00 41 % 1 mo. n/a (long term pick)
LCSG $ 1.21 $ 3.00 150 % 2 wks. Y

This is by no means a comprehensive list, though it is representative. Most readers are already familiar with our record, and we wanted to give new readers a sampling of how it has gone for us. To this list you can add other stocks that provided at least 100% gains in short periods of time such as CRTZ, DDSI, PINC, and DBCC (all of which far surpassed the targets we had set).

Regarding KANA, the coming webcast of April 21st coupled with KANA's frequent exciting news releases provide a unique and explosive internet stock investment opportunity.

bigcharts.com

As evidenced by the chart, support is at $1, and given the recent news of the webcast and other developments, it is reasonable to assume that the support is probably now as high as $1.25. In other words, we are at bottom right now, with nowhere to go but UP UP and AWAY !

Our target for KANA remains $3.50 by April 21st, but we expect it to far exceed our target (as it did in January) possibly before the webcast, and certainly afterwards if it lives up to its billing.

We urge you to consider, or reconsider, KANA as an immediate opportunity for great gains!

From a recent Wall Street Reporter Interview with CEO Alex Kanakaris :

WSR: You are about to go on a book speaking tour. Explain to our readers what this book is about and how it came into being?

KANA: I think it'll be a never ending tour in the tradition of some old rock concerts and the Rolling Stones, because we've got appearances planned throughout the year. The book is called ‘Quotations From Chairman Alex, The Little Green Net Book.' It's a somewhat tongue-in-cheek format, following a little in the footsteps of Chairman Mao. Actually, the Chairman Mao's Little Red Book is one of the world's best selling books -- I think number two behind the Bible.

But the idea is to present a wearable book. By wearable book, I mean the printed version fits in your pocket, of course, but also that a secure online version has been designed for very easy portable reading. We recently redesigned the Web site of the Xybernaut Corporation, which is known for wearable computers. We're really excited about the whole evolution of computers. We see books evolving to a point where people can read them and wear them, see them with their eyes and not necessarily use their hands.

So Quotations From Chairman Alex, The Little Green Net Book is really a light-hearted look at the entire Internet and the lifestyle that's going in that direction. The concept is to have commentary on how we now interact with music and movies and books and scientific information, which we've now been involved with in our company. The change in lifestyle brought about by the Internet age, not take it too seriously, but we should go ahead and reflect on some of the major issues that are being brought up: issues of censorship, issues of universal delivery of information. We're really excited about everything. For example, in China, seeing as how this book was influenced by Chairman Mao's Red Book, probably one of the biggest efforts to curtail and censor the Internet in the world today is occurring in China. Obviously, as a company that is very much involved in content and downloadability and pro-Internet company, we really are opposed to any kind of censorship like that.

I think that the Internet has already been used in very powerful political ways. I think it was helpful to people that suffered in Bosnia. It has absolutely made it very, very difficult for totalitarian regimes or dictatorships to shield their public from information. I think that's one of the great powerful things about it. I think in a fun way, the way people use chat rooms and E-mail to communicate, the revolution of the post office. I recently met with an old friend, Rene Ross. She'd been with EarthLink and Microsoft, but she's currently with a company called Stamps.Com. And Stamps.Com is literally a company designed to allow downloadable postage stamps over the Internet.

I had been working for quite a while on another book, The Third Millennium.Com, The Theory Of Connectivity; excerpts of which will be available free at some of our Web sites. In doing that, I was able to interview some of the kings of different media, media that has happened before the Internet. We're now working with some of those people and we can talk about that in a little bit.

But they provided illumination on what the history of home video, advertising, and radio was. I think it gave a lot of inspiration as to what we can expect with this unbelievable revolution of the Internet, the most exciting change in communication not only in our lifetimes, but it's really appropriate that we enter into a new millennium at the time that all this is happening. So, ‘Quotations From Chairman Alex, The Little Green Net Book' is my light-hearted spin on this incredible change around us.

WSR: What is a wearable computer?

KANA: A wearable computer is a computer than can do everything a normal computer can do, except that you can wear it. And by wear it, I mean the CPU is literally carried by you. And a heads up unit, which has now gotten very stylistic -- they were a little nerdy when they started, but now they're absolutely state-of-the-art. The wearable computer allows you in a hands-free environment to have access to information that you would normally be able to access from a computer or the Internet.

The Xybernaut Corporation is the world leader in wearable computers. They have a product called the MA4 that we were happy to do a live Web cast from Comdex and some other things relative to their launch. Kanakaris Corporation is in alliance with Xybernaut, whereby we'll be doing a site called WearableBooks.Com. This is another site being added to our already existing and known site, NetBooks.Com. But the idea is that we will help to provide the portal by which content is available to use on these wearable computers.

Some obvious special uses for that would be scientific information, instruction manuals, technical things, where somebody in their work environment, whether they be a doctor or an engineer, might be able to utilize information better and more efficiently if their hands were free and they were able to do the task while at the same time accessing the information. So, the Xybernaut wearable computer utilizes voice recognition technology and an incredible flat panel display.

In a broader sense, we see this as the direction of the future. In other words, our company is concentrating on the delivery of content in a downloadable way. When you go to the Kanakaris' Communications Web site, NetBooks.Com, you not only see free excerpts of a book; but if you order the book, it downloads into your computer. This past week we announced a new technology, which is being provided in a proprietary fashion to us by ION Systems. This technology addresses many of the fears of publishers and authors in putting their work online. It allows people to read and view the document, but without actually downloading it - if the publisher and author so desires. It allows special features, so somebody can't even take a screen shot of the work. It allows being able to go through a book, no matter what its size, without having to scroll down the screen, which can be quite annoying on an Internet screen. You can flip through the pages without ever scrolling. It enables a word search through the book, obviously a lot better than just going to an index at the back of the printed book.

Netbooks.Com is the site that Kanakaris Communications has used to showcase our belief of what the future of the Internet holds. We're now going into downloadable music. Our site, Cyberpop.Com -- one of our oldest Web sites, will become the place where people can download music. And of course they'll be able to get full CD quality, singles and albums. We'll be announcing which technology we're working with in the very near future on that.

In regards to motion pictures, we are we believe leading the way in what can be done with motion pictures on the Internet. In December 1995, we provided the first ever full-length motion picture with no download time. That was in conjunction with XING Technology. We have now announced the development of a new Web site, GoGoliath.Com, with George Atkinson; the founding father of home video, and he is the president of that Web site. We will immediately offer films for sale that will have the goal of providing full quality downloadable motion pictures, full-length motion pictures, downloadable and receivable by your computer. Once in your computer or portalled through your computer, you can do what you want, as you would with a video tape or a DVD.

Although the technology isn't quite there, we have a track record going back to December 1995, showing that we can be there first and foremost with this great technology, pushing the boundaries of what can be done for content on the Internet. Again, our goal with GoGoliath is to allow people the opportunity to receive motion pictures directly into their computer. We've already done it with books. We're doing it now with music. We want to do it with movies.

Downloadability is a key focus of ‘Quotations From Chairman Alex, The Little Green Net Book.' It's the key focus of our vision of the Internet and how we can stand out as a company and do something different than everyone else. We are very much involved, aggressively now, in E-commerce; but we want to do it in a way that totally utilizes the Internet. We don't want to just be passive and use the Internet as an online catalogue and then just go ahead and have traditional products shipped in traditional ways. Ultimately, that's not what we want to do. What we want to do is use the Internet to deliver the product and to deliver unique product that could not have been configured the same way if it were not for the Internet. We want to take advantage of the interactivity and especially the possibilities available by increased bandwidths now developing on the Internet.

So, Kanakaris Communications is a downloadable content leader, and everything we do pertaining to the Internet will somehow relate to E-commerce and downloadability. We're excited in terms of downloadable books. We now have proprietary technology created by ION Systems to allow us to do many things that have not previously been done on a regular basis with downloadable books.

WSR: Cyberpop.Com is your music site?

KANA: Yes. Actually, it's a site that's been up for a long time, many years. Currently it's a site that contains everything from art galleries to interviews with musicians, like Allanis Morisett and Joan Osbourne; to pictures, drawings and poetry. But this site will very quickly evolve into our downloadable music site. We're really excited about that. We've got some incredibly nifty technology that fulfills the goal of CD quality sound, but at the same time affords some level of security to artists and record companies.

WSR: You mentioned four sites. Do you make use of synergy and leverage among these sites?

KANA: Well, that's a terrific point. Quite honestly something that I think it took us a while to learn, as we did the research and development over the past few years for our sites. Our concept is that when somebody goes to a site that directly relates to Kanakaris, they're going to see the same thing when they first get there, regardless of what that site is. This is done so that we can show the focus and the interactive synergy between the sites. So if you go to Kanakaras.Com or FSChannel.Com -- it stands for Financial Super Channel -- or NetBooks.Com or any of the other sites, 3RDM.Com -- it stands for Third Millennium; you'll come to a very neat selection of: where do you want to go next? Downloadable books, downloadable music; in the future, downloadable movies, E-commerce. But very much a united vision, very much an integrated vision.

Within that integrated vision, ILSN, the Internet Lifestyle Network will I believe become one of the more exciting things we've done. It's the ability of one-click shopping. It brings entertainment and shopping to one channel location on the Internet. It becomes a place where the actual commerce of the different Web sites we have occurs. Again, I believe we will point the way towards what can be done on the Internet, that goes beyond just simply taking a catalogue or doing a version of an existing radio show or an existing TV show.

We want to be leaders. We want to be leaders in the way we use technology. We want to be leaders in the way that we do things creatively. I don't think we've done a fraction of what we are going to do. But at least we've done enough to show people that we're serious when we talk about something.

WSR: When you strategically plan your company, is there a target number of sites that you expect to introduce each year?

KANA: I think that there's a target number of people that we want to reach each year. We have an alliance with Beryl Wolk and his CPNM Cable Print Network Marketing and Internet Marketing Consortium. Beryl is an individual, I think it's okay to say that he's in his sixties -- he's got the energy of a teenager. He's one of the truly great entrepreneurs. He's produced over a thousand infomercials. He has been and is involved directly in print media and radio and in-flight entertainment and inserts into newspapers and he is beyond an enterpreneur's enterpreneur. Just a tremendous story.

Beryl, through his Internet Marketing Consortium, will be using his incredible world wide media power to drive traffic to our Web sites.

I think the traffic and the selected traffic is very, very important. We're going to add several Web sites; GoGoliath.Com, WearableBooks.Com, ILSN.Com. Then we'll probably settle down for a while. We'll allow those sites and the way they directly are linked to each other and the way you see something similar when you get there, take hold in a way that clearly differentiates us from other Web site designers that simply do per hire work. We see ourselves directly involved every step of the way in the content and the E-commerce at these Web sites.

WSR: What do you see as your major challenges right now?

KANA: I think the Kanakaris Communications' challenge right now is to in the next six months clearly identify ourselves as undisputed leaders in downloadable content pertaining to books, movies, music, and the things that people go to the Internet for. Needless to say, I think that we're going to rise to that challenge. I think that we've got the right relationships and the excitement. But it is a challenge. It's not a done deal. I think that you set goals and you go for them aggressively.

We benefit from the fact that we have a 25-year-old wholly owned subsidiary, The Desience Corporation. Desience is very high end, totally proprietary OPCON Module System that encloses and surrounds computer command operations. The clients for this product range from NASA, the Army, the Navy, the FBI, Bank of America, Apple Computer, and IBM. Many of the clients are recurring clients. I was honored to visit the Goddard Space Center recently in Greenbelt, Maryland, to see the Kanakaris Desience OPCON Module System totally at the center of operations at the computer command and control center there; under the watchful eye of Bernie Tomardy and his associates there, whom we met.

It was quite exciting and it just tells you that the company has a basis in technology. The company has a basis in achievements that are of a quality that result in the type of client list that Desience has. I guess one of the challenges is getting enough hours in the day to the work, achieve it, get it up there, and get the word out. We really do have our work cut out for us. But we're thrilled about it.

WSR: Could you share some of the wisdom, perhaps a quote from your book?

KANA: Rather than say something that people are going to be able to read in the book, I'll just try to go on the fly here and say that at this particular month and at this particular time, all of us who are involved in whatever we do that pertains to the Internet are in the most exciting days of our lives. Whether we are the Wall Street Reporter and people that follow Wall Street that are in this very exciting, volatile but tremendously historic opportunity of Internet stocks, or people like us that play around for hours all day and all night and say: What is the right combination that hasn't been done so that we can be the Ben Franklins or the Einsteins of the Internet? People that are out there having their lives changed every day.

I think the point is that this is a time that we will never see again, we've never seen before. And everyone of us, no matter what we can do, can get more out of it by truly being a part of it. If you go to any Web site we have, Kanakaris.Com, NetBooks.Com, you're going to have the chance to participate in a Web quilt and our E-mailathon. We're just asking people to write us a sentence, write us a paragraph: How is the Internet changing your life? Or do you think it's going to change somebody else's life? Everybody, no matter how many people write to us, we're going to post them all for free as part of the Third Millennium celebrations. So take part with us. The company is Kanakaris Communications. The ticker symbol is KANA. A good site to go to is NetBooks.Com. You can see for free our great new proprietary technology supplied by ION Systems.
