CLUB TAX PRINTERS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER
TREASURERS QUIVER IN ANTICIPATION
The glitter and bodypaint from Halloween is barely wiped
clean, the food coma of Thanksgiving is still weeks away,
but all the superstores and megamalls are already hawking
holiday swag with the white-hot intensity of a thousand
suns. It's as if all seasons are but a prelude to the
manic strange days of December -- this reporter longs for
a simpler time, when jack-o-lanterns and turkey dinners
could be enjoyed without the constant drumming of
seasonal commercialism.
But, there are some seasons that require vigilance and
forethought far before their zenith. Tax Season, dear
readers, is a prime example.
To that end, ICLUBcentral has now made the 2007 Club Tax
Printers available for pre-order.
Though the great unwashed public must purchase the Tax
Printer software at the retail price of $89.99,
enlightened members of StockCentral (like you)
will again save $30, and pay only $59.99.
But that is old news, as StockCentral members receive
deep discounts as a matter of course. This year, however,
there is a new wrinkle: The Ultimate Tax Printer Discount.
Hyperbole aside, if five or more members of your club
become paying subscribers to StockCentral, your club will
receive the Federal Tax Printer, gratis. Ten or more?
You'll get the State Tax Printer, too (if applicable,
of course).
Visit ICLUB.com or contact the ICLUB Support Team for more
information on all things Tax Printer, and be sure to download the Ultimate Tax Printer Discount
offer form.

NEW RESOURCES AT STOCKCENTRAL
BOOK DISCUSSIONS AND RATIO ANALYZER
It's been a heady fortnight at StockCentral, and this
reporter has two golden nuggets to pass along to you.
Firstly, there is a new member of the StockCentral suite of
online tools -- the StockCentral Ratio Analyzer. What does
this novel invention bring to the table? Only ICLUB's
Product Manager, Dave Forgianni, can answer such a complex
interrogative:
"Comparative ratio analysis helps you identify and quantify a company's
strengths and weaknesses, evaluate its financial position, and
understand any risks you may be taking by investing in it.
"Using data from a company's annual and quarterly reports, this tool
suggests when changes in these data are good, bad or show warning signs
through color coded boxes and appropriate verbiage. The goal of this
tool, originally developed as a spreadsheet by Bob Adams, was to
determine the important annual and quarterly report data and how to
judge the results of an analysis. Various books, authored by Peter
Lynch, Warren Buffett, Benjamin Graham, and others were researched by
Bob Adams during development. 'What does the author look for when
studying the Annual Report' was the question in mind while doing the
research, and has resulted in the StockCentral Ratio Analyzer."
Speaking of books, those of you who frequent the StockCentral
Community message boards have no doubt noticed the new After
Hours Book Forum, led by Sheryl Sostarich. Sheryl comes to
StockCentral with a rock solid background in investing:
"For those who don't know me, I am a member of BetterInvesting,
StockCentral, Manifest Investing, the American Association of
Individual Investors (AAII) and an officer in the Crow River
Investment Club in Minneapolis. I'm a past director of
BetterInvesting and AAII and I'm an active member of
the Manifest User's Group planning committee.
"While my father instilled in me the importance of saving
money, my mother taught me the principles of sound money
management. I am an insatiable reader and I hope to motivate
you to learn and earn."
Join Sheryl and the rest of the StockCentral Community in
the After Hours Book Forum. The discussion of Christopher H. Browne's The Little Book of Value Investing has already begun.
THIS REPORTER DEMANDS TO BE PAID IN EUROS
"The true measure of a career is to be able to be content,
even proud, that you succeeded through your own endeavors
without leaving a trail of casualties in your wake."
