"All 26 of the special alerts we issued generated positive returns," according to company spokesperson Faye F. Nia. "Over three-quarters of them saw short-term, double digit gains. On average, the group was up 22% in five days. There were 25 purchases and 1 short sale." "Our alerts are normally issued in response to special market conditions. When we noticed a technical turn around in eFax.com (NASDAQ:EFAX), for example, we issued an E-mail alert advising our subscribers of the change in momentum. Three days later, the stock was up 169%," Nia said. "Other alerts during the month involved Telebras (NYSE:TBH), America Online (NYSE:AOL), Tiffany (NYSE:TIF), Bidnow.com (OTC BB:BIDN), E-Trade Group (NASDAQ:EGRP), SkyTel Communications (NASDAQ:SKYT), Verisign (NASDAQ:VRSN), Ames Department Stores (NASDAQ:AMES) and Fore Systems (NASDAQ:FORE).

"In the daily picks section, we emphasize technical analysis for precise timing of entry points," said Nia.

Each stock added 75%, within about a week." STOCKWINNERS.com is on the Public Register's Annual Report Service listing of the Internet's Top 50 financial sites.
