Undiscovered? Deerbrook Publishing Group Inc ( DBPG)moved from 20 cents to almost 4 bucks in about 30 days, so I would not say that it is "undiscovered." Maybe it is undiscovered by some people, but this stock has way too much hype and hope associated with it...note the following PR release: " PHOENIX, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Deerbrook Publishing Group (OTC Bulletin Board: DBPG - news), Deerbrook Publishing Group announced today that a large block of stock that was traded today at a price below recent prices that the company believes removes a substantial block of stock which has been overhanging the market and that may have been artificially depressing, or will artificially depress, the trading price of the company's stock. The buyer now owns over 4% of the stock of Deerbrook Publishing Group. The individual that sold his position was a long time shareholder and the sale was unrelated to any negative perception of Deerbrook current position. In fact, Keith Chesser, Deerbrook's chairman and CEO, noted that: Deerbrook's online e-commerce site artup.com and the artup.com networks (www.artup.com) will launch later this month. Artup.com is modeled for a high revenue and high profit Internet company. Chesser also noted that the company is expected to earn .30 per share next year with over 15 million in revenues. None of these revenues include sales directly to the retail market. Artup.com should give Deerbrook the ability to achieve higher margins for the company and increase shareholder value. Chesser also expressed that it is his belief that Deerbrook and artup.com will be a significant player in the art industry, an industry that is generates over 20 billion in sales per year. For these reasons Chesser expressed that it is his belief that the stock is undervalued." I will watch, thank however... AXXel IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

"We are delighted to have been invited to participate in Getty Images' new portal site," said Harriet Bridgeman, founder and Director of The Bridgeman Art Library. "Getty Images strategy of creating high value by offering a portal site tailored for this specific market segment underscores the Company's leadership in meeting the needs of the creative professional customer.
