Right now, we are very hot on the two stocks that trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange and providing you with some excellent opportunities.

However, companies up there are doing extremely well.

Huge News On Envoy Communications (TSE: ECG)

This morning we were greeted with great news from Envoy Communications (TSE: ECG) that concerns a joint relationship with IBM (NYSE: IBM).

We were lucky enough to reach Geoff Genovese, the President of the Company, and discuss the impact of the news. Envoy has developed a new Internet based software application called "Decision Room".

The product is a collaboration tool which allows groups to manage projects anywhere in the world where they have Internet access. Therefore, if two teams of engineers are working on the same project from different locations, the entire project can be housed on one server and they can all work on it simultaneously with no cumbersome exchange of information. Both groups would access their daily work via the Internet.

Geoff Genovese told us that the market is so large for this product, that if they were to get 1/10th on 1% of the International Legal Services market, it would equate into $40 million in annual sales.

Today, it was jointly announced that the "Decision Room" product would be jointly marketed by IBM and Devlin Group, a wholly owned subsidiary of Envoy Communications.

The stock of Envoy was temporarily halted for trading, and when it reopened it quickly gapped to $10, reaching a new all time high.

We believe that this news is just the beginning of more great things to come, and we feel that this stock could trade much higher in the future.

Here is the complete text of the news release for your review:

BACKGROUNDER

Decision Room -- the boardroom of the new millennium

Decision Room, a one of a kind, customizable, password-protected, online meeting room, is changing the way organizations are doing business. Rentable applications like Decision Room provide efficient, practical and cost- effective digital solutions for the growing number of small businesses. Co- marketed by IBM, Decision Room will be made available to small businesses around the world as a rentable application at $19.95 US per user per month.

Developed as proprietary webware by Devlin Applied Design, a Toronto- based new media company, Decision Room simplifies and improves communication with clients, suppliers, business partners and team members by eliminating the myriad of communication methods used in daily working relationships - faxes, conferences, couriers, etc. To use Decision Room, all that is required is a computer (MAC or PC), a browser, a user ID and a password - no download or software is needed.

Devlin has developed customized versions of Decision Room designed to meet the needs of 18 specific vertical markets, including: advertising agencies, associations, design, event planners, interior design, media, annual meetings, and public relations firms. Decision Rooms can also be customized for individual clients based on specific needs.

Decision Room requires no capital costs, software installs, repeated upgrades, extensive training programs or trained programmer. Setting up a Decision Room is simple: a user goes to IBM's small business web site (www.ibm.com/smallbusiness,) registers for a meeting room, invites their team members, and customizes the site to meet their specific requirements.

How it works: An Example ------------------------ A graphic design firm with no IT department wants to post its creative concepts online and review them with clients located across North America. If the company runs approximately 12 projects each month and has an average team of six people on each project, the total monthly cost for all eight projects would be $1400, the cost of a return flight to New York City. Benefits -------- - Geographic boundaries eliminated. - Office hours expanded. - Project costs reduced. - Turnaround time reduced. - Communication simplified. - Complete and accurate record of the project.
