      Was haltet Ihr von WebStreet Securities (WEBS) ?

      Dümpeln derzeit bei 4$ herum. ATH war bei 18$ !

      Derzeitige Marktkapitalisierung nur 100Mill.$ ! Das ist doch lächerlich für einen OnlineBroker mit diesen Wachstumsraten und über 100.000 Kunden.

      Auszug aus dem Quartalsbericht:
      Web Street, Inc. (NASDAQ:WEBS - news), parent company of Web Street Securities, a leading online brokerage firm, today announced record results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2000.

      For the quarter, total revenues increased to $13.1 million, representing a 182% increase over revenues of $4.6 million for the first quarter of 1999, and a 57% sequential increase over revenues for the fourth quarter of 1999. Net loss for the quarter was $3.8 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to net income of $14,591 or $0.00 per share, for the first quarter of 1999. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the current quarter was 25,674,219, compared to 20,092,013 during last year`s comparable quarter.

      The Company also reported the following key metrics for the first quarter of 2000 vs. the first quarter of 1999:

      -- The number of total customer accounts increased 106% to 112,000 at

      March 31;

      -- The Company executed 469,000 trades for the quarter, a 151%

      increase over 1999;

      -- Average trades executed per day increased 143% to 7,444; o New

      customer acquisition costs for the first quarter of 2000 were $228

      an account;

      -- Total customer assets at March 31, 2000 increased 214% over 1999

      to $1.1 billion.

      Gruss,

      Noch eine Empfehlung: Das Ding wird in Deutschland kaum gehandelt. Also am besten über WebStreet kaufen oder über eure Bank direkt an der Nasdaq.

      Ich denke auf Sicht von einem Jahr sind 100% allemal drin und wenn die zeigen können, dass sie weiterhin viele Kunden gewinnen können und der Umsatz im zwei bis dreistelligen prozentbereich steigt, dann sollten auch Kurse von über 12$ drin sein !!! Die Kundensteigerungen sind relativ sicher durch umfangreiche Kooperationen mit Consors AG und einer großen Bank in Hongkong.

      Nirgendwo sonst ist Aktienzocken einfacher als bei WebStreet !

      Hi MTB,

      WEBS ist nach meiner Meinung krass unterbewertet.
      Die Emission ist sozusagen der Flop des Jahrhunderts.
      Bei einem Einstieg zu diesem Kurs ist es nur eine Zeitfrage, wann du Dein Geld verdoppelt hast.
      Ich habe sie zur Zeit nicht, aber der Kurs ist verlockend....

      Und Ende lock up am 15.05.
      Das dürfte dem Kurs aber nun wirklich nicht mehr zusetzten.
      Wenn die self-clearing Geschichte mal durch ist, wird es wieder hoch gehen.

      Hallo Struwwelpeter,

      habe heute die Einladung zur HV am 9. Mai bekommen. Ein wahnsinns Hochglanzheft mit innenliegender CD über die Geschäftszahlen. Macht einen guten Eindruck, aber das hat ja eigentlich nichts zu sagen.

      Mehr später.

      Heute neues Allzeittief bei 3 7/16.
      Mal sehen wo das noch hinführt.
      Vorsichtshalber habe ich mir mal ein paar zu 3 5/8 ins Depot gelegt.
      Viel weiter runter sollte es nun nicht mehr gehen - hoffe ich mal.

      Ich denke, daß WEB STREET seine Tiefskurse gesehen hat. Durch die Kooperation mit ConSors u. den Chinesen ist m. E. weiterhin
      eine positive Entwicklung gegeben. Allerdings bewerten dies die Amerikaner wohl derzeit nicht so hoch, da sie das Ausland onehin
      nicht so recht für voll nehmen. Erst Zahlen werden überzeugen.

      Ich unterhalte selbst ein Konto bei WEB STREET und habe die letzten Tage reichlich aufgestockt. Der WEB-Auftritt wird immer besser
      und überzeugt, auch die technische Abwicklung funktioniert gut. Durch die Umstellung auf das Selfclearingverfahren dürften die Ertrags-
      margen auch deutlich steigen, was bisher wohl die Achillesferse war.

      Hat denn von Euch schon mal einer aktiv über Webstreet gehandelt?

      Mein Fazit: Wenn man nicht gerade Intraday-Handel verfolgt und auf OTC-Werte verzichtet: gerade noch akzeptabel!

      Ich könnte einen Aufsatz schreiben, aber kurz:

      - Stornierte Orders stehen den ganzen Tag auf "Cancel pending", ein "cancelled" erscheint ohne tel. Rücksprache so gut wie nie!

      - Ignoriert man das "Cancel pending" und gibt die VK-Order erneut mit einem anderen Limit ein, so hat man sehr schnell einen Leerverkauf durchgeführt (hat mich ne Menge Geld gekostet!), wenn das ursprüngliche Limit doch noch zieht, obwohl man sich gar nicht für Leerverkäufe zulassen hat lassen!

      Ich könnte noch einige seltsame Erlebnisse aufzählen. Im Vergleich zu Webstreet ist die Abwicklung bei unseren Brokern geradezu ideal gelöst. Ich arbeite mittlerweile über Datek, dort gibts zwar keine OTC-Werte, aber dafür superschnell, sehr freundlicher Service (war bei Webstreet nicht immer der Fall) und dazu nach-/vorbörslicher Handel! Unter 2000 Stücken bei Nasdaq-Werten und generell bei anderen Werten wesentlich günstigere Gebühren!

      Warum in Webstreet investieren? In Barrons Todesliste sind sie auch drin.

      Trotzdem viel Erfolg, lOOPO.

      Hi IOOPO,

      teilweise hast Du sicherlich Recht. Es gibt noch einiges zu verbessern. Ein großer Schritt wird meines Erachtens das self clearing sein - ich laß`mich da mal überraschen.

      Was ich bei Deiner Schilderung aber nicht verstehe:
      Wenn Du bei WEBS einen Leerverkauf tätigen willst, mußt du bei der Ordereingabe auf sell short gehen.
      Wenn Du auf sell gehst, kannst Du maximal Deinen aktuellen long- Bestand verkaufen.
      Was haben die dazu gesagt?



      Aber unabhängig von den aktuellen Kundenproblemen orientiere ich mich bei der Aktienbewertung auch auf die aktuellen Zahlen.

      Es ist zwar noch kein Gewinn da, aber dafür ein ganz ordentliches Wachstum.
      Die aktuelle Marktkapitalisierung beträgt gerade einmal 93,1 Mil.$.
      Einige andere Zahlen aus dem letzten Quartal stehen ja schon weiter oben.

      Desweiteren habe ich die Todesliste dazu verwendet, mir über die ein oder andere Aktie Gedanken zu machen. Nach meiner Meinung sind viele dieser vermeintlichen Todeskandidaten zur Zeit absolut kaufenswert. Web Street gehört dazu.


      Good trades bei Datek

      Mag sein, dass das möglich ist, aber wenn man das anmeckert wird sowas schnell und unbürokratisch von denen rückgängig gemacht. Und das schneller (maximal drei Tage) als bei den deutschen Brokern.

      Wenn Du eine Order ändern willst, gibt es da eine bessere Möglichkeit mit "Ändern". Das dauert nur wenige Sekunden und ist dann an der Börse auch wenn es noch als pending angezeigt wird.
      Hat wohl auch mit dem Clearing durch Fleet Securities zutun....

      Aber das ändert sich ja am 3. Juli. Leider ein bißchen spät, was jetzt auch den Aktienkurs belastet, weil Fleet Securities jetzt ab Mai 1$ mehr an jeder Order verdient. Das sind die Übergangsbestimmungen zwischen Fleet Sec. und Webstreet.

      WebStreet ist super im Vergleich zu den Deutschen Brokern !!!

      Über Datek weiss ich leider nichts, z.B. wie das mit dem Überweisen der Kohle geht (Kosten) und der Kommunikation (in Deutsch?). Ioopo erzähl doch mal !

      Tja da ist wohl der befürchtete Sell-Out der Altaktionäre, den Struwelpeter angemerkt hatte, gestern eingetreten.

      Hi MTB,

      no problem, das wird schon wieder.
      Der Handel über Web Street ist in der letzten Zeit wesentlich besser geworden. Was früher nicht ging, geht jetzt. Auch die Kurse stimmen jetzt. Das läuft jetzt richtig gut mit dem Handel. Wenn die die self clearing Geschichte durchhaben, geht`s hoch.
      Klar, bei einer Nasdaq Erholung gehen erst mal die Grossen, die Mid/Microcaps kommen erst später.
      Ich bin weiterhin zuversichtlich das ich meinen Einsatz mindestens
      verdreifache.
      Bei aller Kritik sollte man sich auch vor Augen führen, daß es sich bei WEBS um eine sehr junge Firma handelt, die natürlich ganz andere Probleme wie eine alt eingesessene Firma zu bewältigen hat.
      Ich kann auf jeden Fall enorme Fortschritte erkennen.
      Solange dieser Fortschritt anhält und die Zahlen mich auch nicht enttäuschen bleibe ich Kunde wie auch Aktionär bei WEBS.

      Web Street gets more global
      May 15, 2000 12:33 PM ET

      By Marsha Barancik, dbusiness.com


      DEERFIELD, Ill., May 15 (dbusiness.com) -- Web Street Inc., an online brokerage for individual investors, was given self-clearing status by the National Association of Securities Dealers and Internal Revenue Service. The company (Nasdaq: WEBS) now offers after-hours trading, increasing its access to international markets.

      Stock Quote
      WEB STREET INC
      WEBS 3.13 0.19 -5.66%
      Results delayed 20+ minutes.
      Self-clearing status gives the company an edge over online trading competitors such as Schwab that are dominant in the United States, Web Street president Joseph Barr told dbusiness.com. "No one else is doing this," Barr said.

      Previously, Web Street was trading through U.S Clearing, which charges clearing costs to markets and does not trade after hours. Web Street now gains income from margin balances and is able to offer users flexible margin rates.

      "When you outsource you have very little flexibility," Barr said. "For an online brokerage firm, self clearing is a key building block."

      Web Street had 112,000 customer accounts when first quarter 2000 ended March 31, Barr said. The company reported first quarter revenues of $13.1 million, with a net loss of $3.8 million or 15 cents a share.

      Through Webstreet.com users execute equity and option trades and access real-time trading information. All brokerage activities are processed through Web Street`s subsidiary, Web Street Securities Inc.

      "The economics of the business become a lot more compelling with after-hours trading," Pacific Crest Securities analyst Timothy P. Butler told dbusiness.com.

      "If they can`t offer after-hours trading, they have limits on internal trading and cross-border trading. Web Street will have control of all its the assets and earn a spread off all those assets," Butler said. "With self-clearing operations, the company can recognize some economies of scale and can earn some fixed expenses."

      The company`s stock was trading this morning at $3, down 65 cents, at a volume of 111,200 shares. The 52-week range is $3.43 to $19.25.

      Web Street`s partnerships with ConSors AG of Germany, SHKOnline of Hong Kong, CB Capitales of Chile and Landsbref Ltd. Of Iceland facilitates Web Street trading of U.S. Securities in Europe, Hong Kong and Latin America. Web Street currently is building partnerships with retail firms in the United Kingdom and Japan, Barr said.

      The company`s stock began trading on Nov. 17, 1999. The company offered 3.75 million shares at $11 per share, and the first trade was for $19.25. The company grossed about $48 million, and netted about $42 million, from the initial public offering, Barr added.

      The company has 175 employees. It was founded in 1996.

      eSpeed Signs Deals with 7 Online Brokers to Give Consumers the Ability to Trade Bonds the Same Way they Trade Stocks
      eSpeed, Inc. Agrees with A.B. Watley, Web Street Securities, Muriel Siebert & Co., Tradescape.com, NetInvestor, Bondpage.com and Scottrade

      Alliances Expected to Bring Wholesale Bond Trading To Individual Investors Everywhere

      NEW YORK, May 15 /PRNewswire/ -- eSpeed, Inc. (Nasdaq: ESPD), the leading provider of real-time business-to-business electronic marketplaces, today announced that it has signed agreements with A.B. Watley (Nasdaq: ABWG), Muriel Siebert & Co. (Nasdaq: SIEB), Web Street Securities, Tradescape.com, NetInvestor, Bondpage.com and Scottrade, to offer individual investors direct access to electronic trading of bonds, providing access in the same way that individual investors currently have access to the equity markets. For the first time ever, customers of these online brokers will have full electronic access to buy and sell bonds through eSpeed`s global network. A copy of eSpeed`s May 9th announcement of its agreement with Charles Schwab & Co. is attached.

      "For the first time in history, individual investors will be able to buy and sell bonds effectively in the same way they now buy and sell stocks," said eSpeed President Frederick T. Varacchi. "The size of the markets investors will now have full electronic access to is staggering. For too long, retail investors have been isolated from that liquidity. By opening these markets up, we`ve brought an incredible new opportunity for people to trade bonds."

      In size, the U.S. bond markets are more than five times the size of the stock markets. For example, about $40 billion in trades take place on the NASDAQ every day and about $35 billion on the NYSE. These trades represent about 5,000 individual stocks. By comparison, about $200 billion in trades are executed in U.S. Government securities alone, every day. Howard W. Lutnick, Chairman and CEO of eSpeed said, "We anticipate that these relationships will give investors unprecedented access to the world`s most liquid wholesale market for bonds."

      In the past, there was no liquid bond market, as there is in the stock markets. As a result of these agreements, it is anticipated that in the near future investors will be able to buy and sell U.S. Treasuries at the wholesale market price at the click of a mouse.

      Online brokers will link their customers to the wholesale bond market through eSpeed Online(SM) Service. Whether they use eSpeed Online`s proprietary software tool kit or an Application Program Interface (API), online brokers will be able to tailor the system to their corporate look and feel. Customers will therefore have the same Web experience they are accustomed to from their online broker. eSpeed Online, will also link to the brokers` middle and back office systems, providing a complete end-to-end mechanism for trade execution, risk management, processing and billing.

      Since 1996, eSpeed`s systems have enabled over 500 financial institutions around the globe, including the world`s 25 largest bond brokerage houses to trade bonds in an electronic system. Over $150 billion in transactions cross eSpeed`s systems daily.

      David Kravette, a Managing Director at eSpeed added, "Because of the sheer volume and volatility of the wholesale bond market, the speed of electronic trading is an essential tool for investors. The bond markets are robust, intensive environments."

      eSpeed Online(SM) Service

      Through eSpeed Online, online brokerage firms can offer their retail investors the unique opportunity to transact directly with the highly liquid wholesale market for bonds. eSpeed OnLine is delivered to online brokers either as a software tool kit or eSpeed`s industry leading open Application Program Interface (API), enabling each online broker to tailor the system to their look and feel on the front end, as well as full straight through processing to their middle and back office systems.

      All trades using the eSpeed Online(SM) Service are executed and confirmed in real-time.

      Man soll es ja nicht für Möglich halten.
      Der Kurs war heute auf 2 1/2 $.
      Der Emissionspreis seinerzeit war 11$.

      Die Marktkapitalis. beträgt jetzt noch gut 70 Mill.$.
      Und das bei diesem Wachstum. Ich kann`s nicht glauben.
      Wenn die Dinger nochmal auf 2 1/2 gehen hole ich mir nochmal welche.

      Die Stimmung im yahoo-Board ist äußerst negativ:

      Die Blödis sprechen davon, dass die WEBS Werbekampagne nichts taugt,also rausgeworfenes Geld ist, weil sich die beiden Hauptaktionäre und Geschäftsführer, die Fox brothers, als "tolle Jungs" darstellen und nur ihr Ego pflegen.

      Also ich persönlich finde die Werbung witzig, nur paßt es leider nicht zu dem aktuellen Aktienkurs, welcher Tieftauchen übt.

      Da muß man sich jetzt schon fragen, wie diese einstimmingen Postings zustande kommen. Diese Postings allein können doch den Kurs nicht so sehr drücken!
      Weiss jemand, ob US-Börsenmagazine/sendungen schlecht über sie schreiben und wenn ja was ????

      Hi MTB Power,

      das die Stimmung nicht gut ist, wundert mich nicht.
      Gestern hatten wir intraday ein nueues Tief bei 2 1/4, Schlußk. waren 2 1/2.
      Da ja nun mittlerweile jeder Aktionär auf mehr oder weniger grossen Verlusten sitzt, wird es wohl auch noch dauern, bis die Stimmung wieder dreht.Wenn ich die Dinger zu 11$ gezeichnet hätte und jetzt noch im Depot, wäre ich wahrscheilich auch etwas säuerlich.
      Ob die Werbung ankommt oder ein Schuß in den Ofen war, wird man ja an den nächsten Zahlen erkennen. Alles andere ist Kaffeesatzlesen.
      Ich bin davon unbeeindruckt und habe gestern nochmal welche geholt.

      Desweiteren ist es ja nicht nur WEBS, die schwach laufen, diese Kursschwäche ist ja bei allen Brokern momentan zu beobachten.
      Hauptsächlicher Grund, neben der allgemein schwachen Tendenz, ist der dramatische Rückgang des Handelsvolumens während der letzten Wochen.
      Das geht natürlich direkt aufs Ergebnis.

      Was die Magazine so schreiben weiß ich nicht, das ist mir auch so ziemlich egal.

      Für mich ist die Aktie auf diesem Niveau krass unterbewertet.

      Webstreet ist bei 2 3/4 wirklich ein absoluter Kauf, nachdem die jetzt sogar die Zulassung für Selfclearing haben
      wirkt sich das auf die Kosten doch Positiv aus. Allerding haben die Relativ hohe Gebühren mit 14,95$/Trade
      im Vergleich zu Datek Online usw..

      Aber ich werd mal mit 10.000 Stück einsteigen, hoffentlich ist der Markt nicht zu eng.

      Werden die auch in D gehandelt oder nur am NASDAQ

      Hi daytrader,

      Web Street nur an der Nasdaq ordern, in Deutschland ist der Umsatz lächerlich.
      In Amerika ist es kein Problem, daß Du limitieren mußt, brauch` ich ja nicht sagen.;)
      Du solltest genug Gedult mitbringen, die große Broker-Hausse ist erst für den Herbst vorausgesagt. Aber wer weiß.

      Fest steht, daß ab dem dritten Quartal vor- und nachbörsliches Handeln möglich sein wird.
      Desweiteren gibt es ein Analysteninterview über Broker.
      Der Kommentar über WEBS war nicht schlecht.

      Das Interview, die ersten 10 Minuten geht es nur über Schab und e-trade.

      Hi Struwelpeter,

      es gibt auch auf der Nasdaq Site ein Analysten Rating für WEBS die dort auch Strong Buy sehen. Selbst wenn nur der
      Emisionspreis von 11$ erreicht wird von derzeit 2 3/4 (Bin gestern zu 2 11/16 rein) sind das astronomische Steigerungen.

      Ich seh Webstreet auch auf 6-8 Monate. Was mir allerding nicht ganz klar ist wieviele Aktien nach der Lock-up Periode
      frei werden.

      Hi daytrader,

      das Ende der lock-up Periode kannst Du vergessen, das war Mitte Mai.
      http://www.ipolockup.com/may00.htm

      Ich bin zwar noch ein wenig im Minus, sehe die Sache aber langfristig.
      Der Analyst gestern hat gesagt, daß das Wachstum der Onlinebroker außerhalb der USA der erfolgsversprechendeste Weg ist. Und da ist WEBS gut positioniert.
      Desweiteren hat er gesagt, daß das Plus bei WEBS, unabhängig von der Expansion in Europa und Asien, das sofort aktualisierte Account ist.
      Ich hab`ja keine Ahnung, wie das bei den anderen Brokern läuft.
      Aber so ganz ohne Grund wird er das nicht gesagt haben.

      Ich denke, daß WEBS, gerade zu Beginn, wirklich viele Fehler gemacht hat. Das Resultat kann man hier in einigen Threads noch lesen. Nach dem Motto: WEBS, unprofessionell, für Daytrader ungeeignet usw..

      Was viele vielleicht nicht glauben wollen:

      Das Trading über WEBS ist in der letzten Zeit wirklich gut geworden.

      Ich habe vor gut einem Jahr ein Konto bei WEBS eröffnet.
      Am Anfang war es wirklich nicht so toll.
      Webseite konnte nicht aufgebaut werden, Ausführungskurse jenseits von gut und böse.
      Nach meiner Meinung hat sich das grundlegend geändert.
      Ich habe heute ordentliche Ausführungskurse, die Website kann ich auch ohne Probleme erreichen.
      Im Gegensatz zu den anderen Brokern habe ich bei WEBS einen deutschen Ansprechpartner. Das ist, zumindest für mich, da ich lieber und besser deutsch wie englisch rede, von großem Vorteil.

      Die 14,95 pro Trade sind in meinen Augen nicht zu viel, bei Trades über 1000 Stück fallen die ja sowieso weg.
      Ich kann OTC Werte handeln, das geht auch nicht überall.


      So, und um nun wieder zur Aktie zurückzukommen:

      Die Zahlen sprechen für sich, allen Zweiflern zum Trotz.
      Die derzeitige Bewertung ist in meinen Augen lächerlich.
      Das schlechte Image muß und wird im laufe der Zeit abgebaut.
      Ich habe Zeit.
      Sollte das Wachstum in der Geschwindigkeit weitergehen, sollte die Entwicklung weiterhin so positiv sein, werde ich meine Aktien nicht verkaufen.

      Was die Börse kurzfristig mit dem Kurs macht, läßt mich kalt.

      Ich rechnen bis Ende des Jahres mit zweistelligen Kursen.
      Ende des nächsten Jahres rechnen ich mit Kursen über 20$.
      Sollte der Kurs nocheinmal die 2$ sehen, werde ich erbarmungslos kaufen.

      Ich sehe die Entwicklung von Web Street auch sehr positiv und denke bis Ende 2000 dürfte sich der Kurs im durchaus im zweistelligen Bereich bewegen. Der Auftritt im Internet, nicht zuletzt auch mit den neuen Angeboten scheint durchaus überzeugend. Allerdings ist mir der Markt in Deutschland zu eng, ein Kauf in USA lohnt sich trotz der hohen Spesen, da diese in der Regel im Kurs an den deutschen Börsen enthalten sind. Mein Investment habe ich auf die Dauer von ca. 2 Jahren angelegt.

      Web Street Reports Second Quarter Results
      FRIDAY, JULY 14, 2000 2:00 PM
      - PRNewswire

      DEERFIELD, Ill., Jul 14, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Web Street Inc. (Nasdaq:WEBS), parent company of Web Street Securities, a leading online brokerage firm, today announced results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2000.

      For the quarter, total revenues were $7.3 million, representing a 21% increase over revenues of $6.0 million for the second quarter of 1999. Interest income increased nearly seven-fold to $672 thousand, from $97 thousand in the same quarter of 1999.

      The net loss for the quarter was $6.9 million, or $.27 per share, compared to a net loss of $1.2 million or $.06 per share for the second quarter of 1999. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the current quarter was 25,727,076, compared to 20,404,466 during last year`s comparable quarter.

      For the six months ended June 30, 2000, total revenues increased 91% to $20.4 million from $10.7 million for the same period of 1999. Interest income increased over four-fold from $315 thousand in the year ago period to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000. The net loss for this period increased to $10.7 million or $.42 per share versus a loss of $1.2 million or $.06 per share for the same period last year.

      "When it rains, farmers cheer and ball players sigh. This quarter it poured. Results fell short of expectations in the second quarter and we were dissatisfied with our financial performance," said Joseph Fox, Chief Executive Officer. "While at the same time, we are pleased to have completed our conversion to self-clearing at the end of the quarter, which will be the foundation of our business going forward," Fox continued. "Now that we are in control of the entire brokerage process, we are confident that our unique business strategies will allow us to achieve the revenue growth and profits our shareholders desire."

      "During the quarter, the markets experienced a drop in overall trading volume compared to the previous quarter. This coupled with the unexpected postponement of a National Securities Clearing Corporation meeting to approve our conversion to self-clearing resulted in second quarter revenue below targeted levels," Fox added.

      Joseph Barr, President and Chief Financial Officer commented, "Our record of consistent revenue growth was interrupted in large part due to the time lag between the expiration of our previous outsourced clearing contract on April 30 and the completion of the conversion to self-clearing on July 3. Subsequent to April 30, Web Street began experiencing decreased revenue per trade due to lower order flow payments that reflect current market rates for order flow. This timing did not afford us the opportunity to capitalize on the increased net interest income that we expect to generate from carrying customer accounts on our balance sheet. In future quarters, we expect to generate significantly increased levels of interest income from fully supporting our customers` accounts as a self-clearing firm."

      "This decrease in revenue per trade, combined with a temporary increase in clearing costs through the completion of the transition period, led to lower gross margins in the second quarter. Conversion-related activities also resulted in non-recurring, redundant expenses of approximately $1.1 million in the quarter, further lowering our operating margins. However, we carefully managed discretionary spending, including marketing and technology development expenses, to limit the impact on net income," he continued.

      Fox commented, "During the quarter, Web Street made several pivotal announcements that we believe position us to achieve accelerated growth in the coming quarters. We believe our successful commencement of self-clearing operations on July 3, 2000, will prove to be a critical step towards accelerating profitability and will bring us more diversified revenue streams and improved profit margins in the near future."

      "We have accomplished key benchmarks this quarter that validate our commitment to delivering on the goals outlined in our initial public offering. Along with the commencement of Web Street`s self-clearing operations, the launch of our Online Financial District and other improved service offerings are a clear indication of our evolution towards becoming a diversified financial services organization with a strong global presence and industry-leading customer service levels."

      During the quarter, the company announced new product offerings and partnerships aimed at increasing customer reliance on Web Street as their one-stop online financial services provider:

      -- A new website including the Web Street Global Asset Manager, a tool to
      enable cash and investment management all through a single on-line
      account;
      -- The industry`s lowest published margin rates for high margin balances;
      -- An alliance with InsWeb, a leading on-line insurance services provider,
      to provide Web Street customers with access to low-cost home, auto,
      life and health insurance;
      -- An alliance with Lending Tree, a nationally-recognized loan marketplace
      for consumers and lenders, that offers Web Street customers access to
      affordable mortgages and other consumer loans;
      -- An agreement with REDIBook, a leading ECN, to provide extended-hours
      trading to Web Street customers in the coming weeks;
      -- An agreement with eSpeed, Inc., the leading provider of business-to-
      business electronic market places, to offer our customers direct access
      to electronic trading of bonds in the coming weeks.

      Despite weakness in overall market trading volumes during the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the company reported strong year over year operating metrics, including the following:

      -- The number of total customer accounts increased 85% to 123,000 at
      June 30, 2000 compared to June 30, 1999;
      -- The company executed 342,400 trades for the quarter, a 35% increase
      over the second quarter of 1999;
      -- Average trades executed per day also increased 35% to 5,435 compared to
      the quarter ended June 30, 1999;
      -- New customer acquisition costs for the second quarter of 2000 were $274
      per account;
      -- Total customer assets at June 30, 2000 increased 90% over June 30, 1999
      to $894.8 million.

      "Going forward, we remain confident that our business model is well-designed to drive revenue growth and profitability. Our management team has taken the steps to successfully reposition Web Street to capitalize on a more diversified revenue stream and a greater leveraging of cost synergies as we build scale. Our international relationships, self-clearing operations and creative new service offerings continue to set the stage for true cross-border trading functionality. We believe these competitive advantages, along with the recent pickup in market trading volumes, will drive new customer relationships and assets to Web Street," Fox concluded.

      Web Street Targets Profitability Two Quarters Ahead of Analyst Expectations Domestic Partnership Strategy to Leverage Off of Successful International Partnerships
      TUESDAY, JULY 18, 2000 6:59 AM
      - PRNewswire

      DEERFIELD, Ill., Jul 18, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Web Street, Inc. (Nasdaq:WEBS), parent company of Web Street Securities, Inc., a leading online brokerage firm, today announced that it expects to reach profitability by the first quarter of 2001, two quarters ahead of analyst expectations. The acceleration towards profitability is due in large part to Web Street`s evolving business model, in which the Company plans to extend its domestic market share and customer account base by forging strategic partnerships, while dramatically reducing traditional marketing and advertising costs. Web Street has already successfully utilized this strategy to build a customer account base in both Europe and Asia, and intends to deploy a similar approach in the U.S. market.

      The core of Web Street`s unique strategy is forming strategic partnerships with U.S. financial institutions and other major Internet companies. Web Street will provide partners with a turnkey online brokerage solution that includes a complete technology platform, as well as new account opening capabilities, complete call center functionality, customer service, technical support, and trade clearance and execution. Through strategic partnerships with Web Street, institutions gain access to sophisticated online financial products that can be offered to their customers under their own brand identity. At the same time, these institutions avoid the substantial start-up costs and long lead times required to develop these products in-house.

      Joseph Fox, Web Street`s Co-Chief Executive Officer, said, "Most online brokerage service providers employ traditional Internet business models that rely on sizable ongoing investments in marketing and advertising. Web Street has created a more robust, cost-effective model based on strategic partnerships, rather than advertising dollars. By reducing the reliance on advertising spending, we shift the focus away from customer acquisition costs toward revenues and profits. In addition, the strategic partnership model enables us to reallocate expenditures to areas that we expect to offer greater returns in a more immediate timeframe, namely expansion of our infrastructure and marketing to strategic partners. We believe the net result will be lower costs for the company and a clearer path to profitability."

      "Strategic alliances create a win/win situation for both Web Street and its partners," continued Fox. "Our partners are able to offer their customers leading-edge, web-based investment products that Web Street can efficiently deliver. In turn, Web Street creates a highly efficient, low-cost global distribution network for our investment products."

      Web Street has successfully tested and refined its strategic partnership strategy in both Europe and Asia, and is entering its second year of forging strong alliances with prominent international financial institutions. These relationships have enabled Web Street to build a customer account base in over 90 countries. Other factors that solidify Web Street`s role as an attractive strategic partner include:

      * Superior technology. Web Street was the first to offer industry-leading
      innovations such as real-time streaming quotes and real-time portfolio
      updates, and is committed to staying ahead of the technology curve.

      * Customer service. The company provides its customers with around-the-
      clock live brokers and was recently awarded a five star customer service
      ranking in Money Magazine`s "Best Online Brokers of 2000."

      * Financial service centers. In addition to its flagship financial
      service center in Beverly Hills, CA, Web Street will be opening new
      centers in San Francisco, Boston and Denver in the coming months.

      * Self-clearing capabilities. Web Street`s self-clearing capabilities and
      recently expanded product offerings are catalysts that enhance Web
      Street`s marketability as a potential partner.

      Strategic partnerships in the international market accounted for more than 25% of the Company`s revenues in the first half of fiscal 2000. Web Street management anticipates that the foreign partnerships, along with the new relationships forged in the U.S. market, could be contributing more than 50% of revenues by the end of 2001.

      "Going forward, we remain confident that our strategic partnership model is well designed to deliver strong revenue growth and profitability, and drive new customer relationships and assets to Web Street," Fox concluded.

      Hallo Web Street Fans,

      langsam, ganz langsam sinkt der Kurs. Sein oder nicht sein, das ist hier die Frage.

      Hierüber entscheidet wohl der nächste Quartalsbericht, der m. E. in Kürze erscheinen muß.

      Weis jemand etwas Neues?

      Ich fürchte, der Kreis der Web Street Freunde ist derzeit klein. Vorsorglich habe ich aber meinen Bestand noch einmal aufgestockt. Alles oder Nichts

      Hallo Web Street Fan(`s?),

      der Kreis ist anscheinend klein. Morgen ist der Tag der Entscheidung. Um 10 Uhr amerikanischer Zeit gibts eine Pressekonferenz mit den letzten Quartalszahlen.

      Vielleicht findet sich ja noch ein einsamer Mitstreiter, der noch Webs im Depot hat?

      Hallo zusammen,

      hab gerade, weil dieser thread wieder nach oben rutschte, gerade mal reingesehen. Musste dabei feststellen, daß ich unhöflicherweise auf einige postings vom Mai gar nimmer geantwortet habe, sorry, dürfte sich heute auch erübrigt haben. Habe zwar bei Webstreet noch ein Konto mit 0 Cash und 0 Depot, aber wenn man sich die Kursentwicklung ansieht, scheint sich nicht viel zum Positiven geändert zu haben (was meine Erfahrungen vor fast 1 Jahr betrifft). Von Anlaufschwierigkeiten kann man da sicher nicht mehr reden, ein Aushängeschild für ConSors ists sicher auch nicht.

      Bin unverändert bei Datek, da kann man nahezu Sekundenhandel betreiben und weiß vor allen Dingen sofort, woran man ist.

      Trotzdem viel Erfolg, hoffentlich hat Barrons sich geirrt :)

      Gruß, lOOPO.

      +56% am Freitag vor Heiligabend. Da zeigt es sich mal wieder, dass man die Hoffnung nicht aufgeben sollte.

      Obwohl ich hier fast an Kurspflege denken könnte, wie das jetzt am Freitag abgelaufen ist.

      to buy WEBS at this level is no failure !
