Market Comment- Read Dr. Geist's October Column

This market continues to be extremely choppy for the small and microcap stocks. Almost all the stocks we monitor are trading at very poor valuations with low volume. This is normal in the cycle of markets. We had a great time generating some outstanding performances on behalf of our subscribers through the spring and summer. At the end of July this market decline began, and the small stocks in our universe are showing no signs of recovering.

This all points out to the importance of being a long term investor in this arena. If you are looking for short term trading ideas we will be providing some resources for you in the near future. If you still have positions in stocks which are depressed you need to understand the importance of not allowing today's price to effect your view of the company.

For additional insight into the importance of understanding ways to prosper in down markets, we strongly recommend that you read Dr. Geist's October column entitled "THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF SHORT SELLERS ON INVESTORS". You can get to the column by going to our home page at www.otcjournal.com, and clicking on Dr. Geist's button, or you can simply click here to go directly to the article.

That having been said, we believe that now is the time to start making plans for the year 2000's profits in the small and micro cap world. We believe that the market will continue to be choppy for the remainder of 1999, but 2,000 will be great for both small and large cap investments.

Now is the time to be looking at these attractive valuations for next years' profits. We believe that our members that prefer to invest in companies on the basis of earnings have to look at Neptune Society today.

Standard Securities "Buy Recommendation" On Neptune Society

Standard Securities of Toronto, Canada recently issued a buy recommendation on this stock with a 12 month target price of $10 to $11.50. Based on today's closing price of $6, this yields 66% return on invested capital at the low end if Standard Securities is right in their prediction.

Furthermore, the project $.29 per share in earnings for the year 2,000. This is truly unbiased research from a respected brokerage firm.

Investors that prefer companies with earnings momentum should read their report. You can get to it by going to the research report section of the Investor Relations section of their web site at www.neptunesociety.com. If you prefer to go the report directly, simply click here.

Misprint from our last edition- We pointed out that www.broadcast.com had 800,000 million unique visitors per day. This was a misprint. It should have read 800,000 per day. Many thanks to a member for pointing that out.
