Market Summary

Good evening everyone and welcome to today’s OTCBB After Market Report from OTCBB News Network (http://www.OTCBBNN.com). The stock market pulled back again today, giving further momentum to the sell-off. It seems like the market just cannot get back into the rally mode. The consumer confidence numbers came in this morning lower than expected creating some decent early buying based on the belief that the Federal Reserve will continue to cut interest rates. By the afternoon, however, the euphoria had been replaced by firm selling. The strongest sectors today were chips, chip equipment, oil, home builders, HMOs, and steel. The weakest sectors were telecommunication equipment, retail, biotech, hotels, and airlines. When the final bell rang, the DOW closed down -77.90 (-0.74%) at 10,454.30, while the NASDAQ closed down -42.71 (-2.07%) to 2,016.61. The Top 20 volume leaders list for the OTCBB had only 8 stocks closing higher, 10 closing lower and 2 unchanged.

i2corp.com's (ITOO: .23) HGN holds the Only United States Patent for Live Remote Wagering. As reported in the April 17 edition of the Las Vegas Review Journal: "Assemblywoman Merle Berman, R-Las Vegas, said she introduced the bill because she wants Nevada to be the first state to offer legal Internet gaming, just as it was the first state to legalize gaming, which occurred in 1931. She said the Internet could bring $5 billion in additional revenue to Nevada casinos. She cited news reports that Hong Kong alone is losing $6.4 billion a year to offshore Internet operators. Berman said Internet games will not necessarily be video games, but some might be live gaming from a casino or a room in a casino." i2corp.com's HGN U.S. Patent 5,800,268 covers all remote wagering of live games and events with electronic financial transactions and it is management belief that HGN's method patent will become the de facto standard for the remote wagering industry worldwide.
