Brenda,

Thank you for the heads up on this.  Information such as this is much

Great job.

Subject: [sharechat] Warning - Access Brokerage Ltd

<DIV>
<P>Access Brokerage Ltd have recently been distributing emails (touting for 
business) by advising that they have expanded their research facilities for 
clients. As part of their campaign they make reference to an Australian 
research company called Fat Prophets, which is in effect, a tip sheet 
subscriber service. This seems more like a mutual advertising association than 
genuine research.</P>
<P>However, care should be taken when reviewing Fat Prophets "so called" 
performance claims and as a result, also their research credibility. The 
following are some of the internet references regarding dubious performance 
claims made by Fat Prophets who were investigated recently by the Australian 
Securities Commission.</P><FONT size=2>

<P>Research is research, but Fat Prophets are not about 
research.</P></DIV><p><hr SIZE=1>
