                    Welcome to BBS Mart!


BBS Mart is a stock market simulation. You begin your stock trading
career with $10,000 in cash and your goal is to triple your money by
buying and selling common stocks.

Simply stated, you will want to make money by buying stocks and then
selling them later for more than you paid for them, thus realizing a
profit.

BBS Mart will help you monitor the status of your cash and stock
holdings and will advise you when their combined value has equaled
or surpassed your investment goal of $30,000.

When you reach your goal your skill level rating will be increased
by one (1) and your investment position will be re-started with
$10,000 in cash and no stocks. You will then resume your investment
career at your new, higher skill level.

The key to successful stock trading is to select stocks for purchase
that you feel are likely candidates to rise in value while avoiding
stocks that may be about to fall in value.

It is also important to recognize when to take your profits and also
to admit when you have made a mistake as you watch your investments
fall in value.

As there are no trading commissions in BBS Mart, there is no reason
not to switch to cash or to other stocks when your purchases are not
performing as you had hoped they would.

It is advisable to monitor your trading position as often as you
can. This will serve as insurance against your trading position
getting out of control on the downside and will also help protect
the skill level you have achieved.

If you should find yourself in a position where your investments
seem to be stuck in the basement and your cash is low, you will want
to consider resetting your account.

If you select this option you will be advised that all of your stock
holdings are about to be liquidated and that your cash will be
adjusted to $10,000.

If you elect to continue the reset process your skill level will
also be reduced by one (1). Therefore, try to refrain from selecting
this option until you are certain that you are stuck in your current
position and that you are missing out on a major market upturn.

It is also important to monitor your trading position often so that
you may be credited with a higher skill level as soon as you have
reached your investment goal.

You should NOTE that should the value of your cash and stocks rise
above your goal and then fall back below your goal before you have
called in to check, then you will not receive credit to your skill
level for having surpassed your investment goal.

                  You must be present to win!



To be successful you must pay attention to what the informational
screens are telling you and must not be afraid to take a risk.

                    Have a good trading day!
