<<wlx will probably be good for a little run I figure... ya think?>> WLX already had its run from around .20 to $1.50 from January of this year until the recent halt. I suspect the run-up was related to speculation regarding some big imminent deal. Now that we know what this deal was, and know that we know it was a failure, I would suspect that the shares will go right back down to where they started the year. (I say that without looking closely at the company's latest financial statements) Now, we have to wonder what this was all about. Did Sekera actually think that he had a chance to get his scheme approved by the regulators? Was this a publicity stunt to market the Westlinks name? Does he have a Plan B up his sleeve (I can't imagine what)? What I'd really like to know is whether the analysis on the 40 takeover targets is of any use for my personal investment decisions.

WESTLINKS RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES UPDATE ON BUSINESS PLAN CALGARY, ALBERTA-- Westlinks Resources Ltd. ("Westlinks") makes the following announcements with respect to its previously announced intention to proceed with simultaneous take-over bids. The initialization of the portfolio was to include certain, currently undervalued, oil and gas company stocks. Contrary to numerous opinions and commentaries, the proposal developed by management was not intended to create a "closed-end" investment company or fund. Given that the portfolio concept has attracted significant positive response both nationally and internationally, Westlinks continues with its belief that there is a degree of market interest for the Westlinks' type of investment vehicle. Westlinks is currently examining the comments released jointly by the Alberta and Ontario Securities Commissions in their news release of April 15, 1999 to identify and separate the structural issues from other factors. In light of these conditions, Westlinks will revisit its strategy to determine the feasibility of moving its business plan forward without reliance upon the previously structured bids but in a manner that is acceptable to all stakeholders. In addition to its ongoing activities as a resource company, Westlinks will continue with its independent research respecting the oil industry. The Company will continue to maintain its proprietary database of oil companies to assist in the identification of investment opportunities. For more information, contact Thomas Bamford, President and Chief Operating Officer by telephone at (403) 261-2686, by fax at (403) 261-2704, via e-mail at investor@westlinks.ab.ca or visit the Corporation's website at www.westlinks.ab.ca.
