You cannot get this service anywhere
else on the Internet for free. Many services are available for fees starting
at about $100 per month and higher. Some brokerage firms are offering this
service along with an account. However, those brokerage firms are recouping
their costs by making money off your trades. Not just through the transaction
fees, but by getting kickbacks from market makers for order flow. Market
Makers then trade against your order to make money.
The only way to avoid market makers
trading against your order is to have an account with a Direct Execution
Brokerage firm that allow you to have complete control over where your
order goes. Such firms include Trade Portal (www.tradeportal.com)
and CyberTrader.
Free real time snapshot static quotes
are available on the Internet, but they do not show the actual price movement
in real time.
Users of this Free Application
will automatically be entered to have a chance to win $1 million.
Other valuable prizes will also be available to users. Details will be
announced soon.

Getting
Started |
 |
Simply go to the home page of the
OTC Journal (www.otcjournal.com)
and click on the FREE
LIVE QUOTES button on the top of the right hand menu bar.
When you arrive at this page you
must go through a lengthy registration process to use the application.
This is required by the exchanges in order to provide users with real time
quotes. If you were a beta tester and already have a user name and
password, you may bypass the registration and use the user name and password
you have already established.
After logging in you will arrive
at the StockTalkLive Page, and the system will automatically begin loading
the software plug ins into your computer. This may take some time
and you will only see a white screen. Simply leave your computer
alone even though you will see no activity on the page. When it is finished
a menu bar will pop up.

Once you have obtained the menu bar
you must set up the configuration. This step allows you to set up your
computer screen to your own personal specifications. If you hit the configure
button you will be provided with 16 different layouts to choose from.

demonstrates all the steps you can go through to set up your personalized

Comment
on NetSol International (NASDAQ: NTWK)l |
 |
Two weeks ago we published an edition
in which we predicted that NetSol International (NASDAQ: NTWK) would
trade from the $25 range into the $30's over the ensuing two weeks. We
indicated that we had heard a rumor that new institutional buyers would
begin accumulating the stock.
We have not seen any evidence of
these rumored new buyers yet. We are going to wait one more week before
passing judgment on the validity of the rumor. If we see no evidence of
it next week we will make the assumption that the rumor was inaccurate
and move on. In the meantime, the stock has drifted down 1 1/2 points in
sympathy with last week's poor performance in the NASDAQ.
In the interest of full disclosure
we remind you that one of our editors still owns 2500 shares of NTWK
in his own personal account with a cost basis of $25.17. This should
be viewed as a conflict of interest. He has permission to buy or sell this
stock at any time at his own discretion.
