Special Note. The following email was sent to subscribers early the morning of July 16, 2008 before the opening.


Dear Subscriber--

The unprecedented SEC decision reported today to control short selling in financial stocks effective Monday, July 21, will have unknown effects on the price behavior of these stocks.

Therefore I advise that you exit any open short positions you may have in XLF or its derivatives.

Respectfully,

'Copernicus'
