June 28, 1999 Web Street Proudly Announces Enhanced Option Quotes. Dear Valued Customer: In our quest to provide you with all of the tools needed to make informed investment decisions quickly and accurately, Web Street is proud to announce the implementation of software which processes requests for Option Quotes. As a real-time subscriber, when you ask for an option chain it is no longer necessary to specify Call or Put. Now, you will be able to see not only all of the option symbols for both call and put options, but also, a real time quote for each option, including: last sale, volume, bid and offer. In addition, for your convenience, a real time quote for the underlying security will also appear. For Basic subscribers, the complete list of option symbols is provided. However, quotes for the underlying security and options are not provided in the above format. Basic subscribers must enter the option symbol in the "Get Quote" area offered in the Trading Pit. A real time quote for the option requested will then appear. Web Street is constantly trying to improve the services it provides to its customers. We would love to hear any feedback and suggestions that you might have. Thank You, Michael Graf Customer Service Manager

Online Broker Expands Offline WebStreet.Com, Inc. Introduces First-Of-Its-Kind Financial Center to Promote Internet Services BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- WebStreet.com, Inc., the leading innovator in the online brokerage industry, tomorrow will open the doors to the first-of-its-kind online financial services center located at the corner of Beverly Drive and Wilshire Boulevard in Beverly Hills. The grand opening event marks the first time an Internet-based financial services company has subsequently developed an offline retail outlet to educate consumers about its online products and services. The interactive WebStreet center, equipped with a full staff of licensed brokers, running stock quotes, a multimedia lecture hall and multiple computer terminals, will offer individuals the opportunity to learn first hand about online investing at www.webstreet.com . The center is the inspiration of brothers Joseph and Avi Fox, Co-Chairmen of WebStreet, which has outpaced the online brokerage industry in new account growth and trade activity since its founding in 1997. "Despite the Internet's overall popularity, many people still don't know how to begin or are unaware of the advantages of investing online," said Joseph Fox. "The WebStreet online financial services center makes it easy for individuals to transition from traditional investment channels to online investing -- at their own pace. WebStreet provides access to informative brokers, critical market data, online tools and investment information in a comfortable environment." WebStreet expects that individual investors who have traditionally contracted a broker at an institutional brokerage firm will be the most likely to visit the company's online financial services center. However, the company quickly points out that everyone can feel comfortable entering the online outlet and becoming their own online investor. "WebStreet.com, through the Internet, is enabling and empowering people to direct their own financial affairs. Virtually anyone who desires to manage their own investments, commits to educating themselves and obtains an Internet connection can now access rich, financial content and trade stocks, bonds and mutual funds online," said Avi Fox. WebStreet designed the online financial services center as the ultimate destination for the personal investor, with the intention of bringing together the growing investment community that seeks technical advice, informative orientations and lectures, and support of all types. The company plans to roll out the online outlet concept in every major U.S. financial market over the next two years, in addition to expanding its offerings to include other integrated financial services beyond online investing later this year. Experts predict that today's seven million online traders will jump to nearly 20 million by the year 2002. As it continues to make online investing easier and more accessible to the mainstream, WebStreet will lead the way in this surge. WebStreet.com, Inc. is a privately held financial services company based in Deerfield, Ill. that operates Web Street Securities, a top online brokerage firm. At www.webstreet.com, Web Street Securities has built a successful Internet investing experience through a commitment to empowering the individual investor. By combining real-time market and account information with superior execution of securities trades, Web Street delivers a unique and satisfying online investing experience. Key customer offerings include a streamlined, user-friendly web site; real-time, dynamically updated quotes, positions and account balances, and comprehensive customer service -- 24 hours a day. Web Street continues to achieve top rankings by the leading publications for the individual investor, including 'Four Stars' by Barron's and Top 3 Online Brokers by SmartMoney magazine for two years running -- 1998 and 1999. Web Street Securities is a member of NASD-SIPC. SOURCE WebStreet.com, Inc.
