Automatic Investor Announces New Affiliate Program for Its Investment Software

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 16, 2000 /PRNewswire/ -- Automatic Investor today announced that it has unveiled its new affiliate program.

``Automatic Investor users are already employing the software to minimize risk while profiting from market volatility,'' said Mark Hing, President of Automatic Investor, ``now we're providing an incentive for them to tell others about the benefits.''

The affiliate program is one of the most lucrative on the Web, paying $25 for each qualified referral. Payments are made on a quarterly basis.

``We believe the best advertising is done by word of mouth,'' said James Baird, Automatic Investor's Director of Research. ``People who are already familiar with the benefits of using Automatic Investor are in the best position to explain the system to their acquaintances. It's a win-win situation. They help other investors and earn extra cash for themselves. In these uncertain times, more and more people are interested in minimizing risk, so it's an easy sell.''

Based on a proven, time-tested algorithm combined with powerful cutting edge technology, Automatic Investor optimizes investment portfolios by balancing cash and equity. Taking into account prevailing market conditions and an investor's specific portfolio, it aims to minimize overall risk and maximize returns.

Automatic Investor generates specific buy and sell signals while allowing investors to retain complete control over the equities that go into their portfolios. Its flexibility permits it to manage any number of investments so users can diversify their holdings, use asset allocation techniques, and even mix asset classes.
