Wow!!! Only Cindy, former NAELB exec. dir. would catch this. I am sure Ray Williams was happy about it.
But let me correct my error. editor
--------
NAELB "Post It" for Members Only WORTH ANNUAL BROKER DUES of $295---If you haven't joined for the many other reasons, this alone is worth the yearly dues. www.naelb.org for membership application .
If you are a member and cannot get on line, I will e-mail you the procedure to make it easier for your to connect. You must be a member of NAELB. They will filter your name out, if you are not a member.
This is not just who was named president of what corporation or what stock sold or didn't sell or send me some business, this is real "street fighter" news. There are many other reasons to join NAELB, but this one alone is worth the $295 annual dues ( the lowest in the industry ).

Including Equiment Leasing----In China
Hartcourt Capital Inc. Formed to Handle Online Financial Transactions; New Subsidiary Will Be Headed by Former CEO of Sinobull Group
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hartcourt Companies, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HRCT; Frankfurt: HCT) www.hartcourt.com , today announced the formation of a new wholly-owned subsidiary, Hartcourt Capital Inc., whose goal is to create a premiere online financial transactions company in Greater China.
Hartcourt Capital's focus is to develop and operate online financial services such as online banking, online insurance, online brokerage, online lending etc. ... The new entity is already involved in negotiations to purchase a financial services company in Hong Kong to use as the model platform for more acquisitions and joint ventures in Greater China.
Mr. Michael Bianco, a well-known investment banker in Silicon Valley, was appointed to the position of CEO of Hartcourt Capital, Inc. Mr. Bianco was the former CEO of another Hartcourt subsidiary, Sinobull Financial Group. He was replaced by Mr. Allan S.S. Yuen who is a respected entrepreneur in Hong Kong and China.
Prior to joining Sinobull Group, Mr. Bianco was CEO of American Capital Markets Corp, Managing Director of Arthur Anderson's Corporate Financial Consulting Corp. and President of Loeb Rhoades Securities Corp. He was a banker since 1968, working for Chase Manhattan Bank, Security Pacific Bank, Bank Of California, Barclay's Bank and The Hibernia Bank.
Dr. Alan V. Phan, Chairman & CEO of Hartcourt, said, "Online financial transactions are the most profitable sector of E-Commerce. We believe that any company wanting to achieve success in this market must have strong fundamentals in assets, revenue and earning. Hartcourt Capital will follow this business model and should contribute significantly to the operating results of the parent company. Our business plan is fortified by the dominant marketing position of Sinobull Group in China, along with their existing connections to the Chinese financial community. The resulting synergies will allow both companies to expand and become top-tier players within the financial industries in China."
Mr. Michael Bianco, CEO of Hartcourt Capital, commented, "China's economy grew at a 8.2% annualized rate in the first half of 2000, but its financial services industry is still lagging behind in Western standards. Hartcourt Capital will have the first-mover advantage in terms of the introduction of state of the art technology, access to numerous capital markets and international linkage to potential strategic partners. This will open up a variety of interesting opportunities and make it easier for Hartcourt to expand on its already proven method of expanding through acquisition."
