1. ISR: New Hires at Nexicon.

Nexicon has got to be one of the most fascinating two cent stocks -- we
have ever followed (and yes even we are surprised we're so closely
following a two cent stock). We cover Nexicon under both the Hollywood and
Internet Stock Reviews.

If actions speak louder than words (a given in this market), look at the
latest group of people who have joined the ranks of the company (who might
be saying to themselves "this has got to be the most fascinating two cent
stock company I have ever worked for !").

What we're writing about today...is not the company or its products, but
rather offering up possible "evidence" that sales are about to initiate in
a significant way. A big, big way. And while we could be wrong, it seems
to us to when dealing with such a cheaply priced stock, that it would be
better (better being defined as catching the maximum forward performance)
to buy such a stock just "before" the evidence is in. Of course we came in
a year ago, at a dime which in hindsight, was way before the evidence was
in. Still, our thoughts then were that it could either be zero or $1.00 on
excitement of news -- that they actually had a workable solution to
Internet Piracy.

In our opinion, nothing has changed in the upside potential. If they serve
up proof positive that they can take a major dent out of Internet Piracy,
the stock should run like crazy. What has changed is the downside, which
before was $0.10 to zero and which is now $0.02 to zero. Not bad from a
new-comers point of view.

Almost overnight, the company has re-invented itself -- with these
additional employees. Do a little mental detective work (assuming you have
followed this company) and you should come up with the same conclusion
that we have.

When a small struggling start-up, shortly after announcing a deal with
major Fortune 500 company (thus signaling it actually has a viable
business product) NEXT announces it's hiring all these sales people, that
it can only mean one thing to us. That the phones are ringing off the hook
at the home office -- and that they had better have the sales people on
staff, to grab these orders. You don't hire sales people when you product
is still under development !

This is what we imagine is happening:

Nexicon announces in a press release to "media owners" that copyrighted
material can be easily monitored as it travels the Internet, it creates
interest and maybe a phone call or two by the media owners who are tired
of being "ripped off" (that's $ billions in music, movies and software).

Nexicon announces in a press release to "media owners" that copyrighted
material can be easily monitored as it travels the Internet AND that it
will serve as a third party intermediary between copyright owners and
YouTube (owned by Fortune 150 Google), to provide content identification
and monitoring services to copyright owners. In this instance, we'd
imagine Media owners quickly pick up the phone and call. And in addition,
"leads" that might have been on the fence, are suddenly much more
interested.


Here's a recap of the new hires.

Samuel Glines was promoted to the post of president and chief operations
officer, with Richard Urrea remaining as chief executive officer and
Daniel Urrea as chief financial officer of the company. We know all of
these folks and they are good people, hard working and smart.

Sam brings more than a dozen years of experience in the large-scale
planning, management and delivery of business process and technology
solutions for multibillion-dollar corporations that help drive and improve
business performance. As an executive with Accenture, Glines managed large
business change initiatives for Fortune 100 clients such as
Anheuser-Busch, Caterpillar, Kraft, Ocean Spray, United Technologies and
BMW.

Farhan Yasin, President International Group for CareerBuilder.com.
CareerBuilder was in our year "2000 Watch" List @ $7 when it had $170
million market cap and $12 million in sales. We miss those days. The
following summer they merged with the Tribune and Knight-Ridder for $200
million in cash. Good thing they didn't take stock. Here's the McClatchy
chart $70 down to $1.21 and no, we are not bargain hunting there.

an opportunity to work at Nexicon even existed. It's not like they were
advertising in the employment ads for help.
