PawnBroker.com (OTC BB: PBRR)

We have a new and exciting feature for you this weekend.  We announced on Wednesday that we would be releasing a new profile today.  We changed our minds.  Instead, we have two recorded interviews for you with Mr. Neil McElwee, the CEO of Pawnbroker.com, which were produced today.   This is the most timely information you can get and gives you the competitive investing edge in the micro cap arena.  We wanted you to have this information now because this stock is beginning to rebound from the recent market free fall, and in our opinion the current price represents a lower risk entry point.

We believe that the companies that we represent and write about in our newsletter have great upside potential.  Because the companies we cover are not on the radar screens of Wall Street it is difficult to obtain current information.  You will not hear about them on CNBC or read about them in the Wall Street Journal.  If the companies grow and prosper they will end up there, and hopefully you will still be a shareholder with a significant profit.  These are young companies which are also very risky.

We really liked Pawnbroker.com (OTC BB: PBRR) when we first heard about the company.  When we learned that the Pawn industry was 2,000 years old, and during that time it had not undergone any revolutionary change, we felt that the Internet represented a powerful catalyst for evolution.  We knew a niche company would come along and profit from the opportunity.  Furthermore, we were astonished to learn that there were 200 million items for sale in Pawnshops in the US alone.

Pawnbrokers loan money against merchandise.  If the borrower does not return to pay the debt after a certain period of time, the Pawnbroker will sell the merchandise.  Pawnbrokers only loan against merchandise that has value, so the inventory is generally in demand.

Only one in ten consumers has ever been in a Pawnshop, and very small percentage shop there regularly.  However, there are great bargains on high end merchandise in Pawnshops. Pawnbroker.com is attempting to bring the Pawn Shop into your home electronically.  Their web site allows you to browse through the inventory of hundreds of pawnshops from the comfort of your computer, and Pawnbroker.com provides you with a completely secure mechanism to purchase merchandise with no risk to the consumer.

Our missions is to bring our members as much information as possible on the companies we cover.  Today's new feature gives you the opportunity to hear directly from management so that you can make an informed investment decision.
 

The Interviews

We are going to provide you with a link to a web page.  On that web page you will find two interviews that you can listen to, and a link to download the required software to hear the interviews.  Unless your computer is extremely old it is highly unlikely that you will need to download any software.  You should just be able to click, wait a few moments, and hear the interview.

When you click on the link to launch the audio you will not be downloading a file.  The sound will stream directly over the Internet and out of your computer's speakers.  You must be on the Internet to hear the audio.

The first interview is 25 minutes long and contains a great deal of information about the company.  The second interview is only six minutes, and mainly focuses on the Internet traffic to their web site since the soft launch of the site in March.

If you are a shareholder or thinking of becoming one we strongly recommend that you take the time to listen to the 25 minute version.  After all, it is your money and you should be well informed.  This interview will give you a chance to interact indirectly with management at the company.

If you are an AOL member, or are reading this newsletter in a plain text format, the link to the web page will not work.  Please return to the top of this page, and click on the first link that opens the web page version of this newsletter and go from there.  Below is the web address you can copy and paste into your browser address line if you need to.  Here your link:

If you don't have speakers on your computer then you won't be able to listen to the interview unless you go somewhere else to hear it.

Please respond by giving us your feedback on this new feature.  If you like it we will provide these audio interviews more frequently.
