To OTC Journal Members:
 

Preview of Weekend Edition

On June 4, 2002, one of the OTC Journal's editors was invited to visit Ford's top secret "Skunk Works" in Dearborn, Michigan to experience revolutionary new technology which could end up, in some form, on nearly all cars. It's potential was compared to fuel injection, air bags, and antilock brakes in the early stages.

The visit was hosted by a Senior Technical Specialist from Ford who headed the Advanced Power Train Architecture & Propulsion Concepts department. This same Ford executive headed up the team that developed the technology to convert nearly all newly made cars from carburetors to fuel injection in the late 1970s.

The giant facility was a car enthusiasts dream. We were greeted by a row of blacked out Aston Martins and several high tech looking Jaguars.

Nestled amongst these thoroughbread sports cars, and looking like an NBA center at a jockey convention, was a slightly worn 2001 Lincoln Navigator outfitted with a 4.0-liter Jaguar V8. Underneath the vehicle, bolted to the frame on either side of the gas tank, were two long cylinders, each about twice the size of a SCUBA tank.

Mounted on the center console was a full computer screen with keyboard, attached to a CPU bolted to the floor between the two front seats. The computer screen allowed the driver to monitor the performance of the system. Performance adjustments could be made with keyboard entries.

Two years of experimentation with the system had led Ford to conclude the following:

• The normal 13 MPG in city driving was improved to 18 MPG (miles per gallon).
• The 275 Horsepower engine generated 360 horsepower when accelerating uphill from a stop.
• Pollution emissions were reduced by 50%.
• Brake Life improved by 77%.

StockGroup (OTC BB: SWEB) Shareholders Take Note- Multex Jumps 70%

Shares of NASDAQ traded Multex.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: MLTX) jumped 70% this past Monday when it was announced Reuters had entered into a definitive agreement to buy Multex for $7.35 per share in cash. Shares of Multex closed at $4.58 on Friday evening, and reopened for trading at $7.27 Monday after the news of the definitive agreement was disclosed.

Multex achieved $92.4 million in revenues with losses of $7.4 million in 2002. Multex is a global provider of digital investment information for the financial services industry. 

We bring this event to your attention because it indirectly relates to StockGroup, and its recently announced distribution agreement with the Associated Press, the largest and oldest news delivery organization in the world.

After an eight month selection process, The Associated Press chose StockGroup's digital financial information services in order to expand it's product offerings to its customer base in financially related information.

The Reuters buy out of Multex suggests that information technology companies like StockGroup could be viewed as undervalued by major industry players. Shareholders can only hope the Associated Press relationship leads to a similar scenario at some point down the road.

Multex was purchased for 2.9 times annual sales. If StockGroup were to be purchased based on the same valuation, the price would be $.395 per share, 58% above the current price.

More importantly, after the mid January surge to $.38 per share on the Associated Press news, shares of StockGroup have drifted down on light volume along with the rest of the market in this pre-war grinding mode. As you can easily see from the chart, the stock is camped right on its support level, an excellent accumulation opportunity.
