Press Release Body = POINT ROBERTS, Wash., Delta B.C., June 15, 2007 -
www.InvestorIdeas.com, a leading global investor and industry portal specializing in
sector investing, announces expanded educational resources for investors with the
launch of an ongoing interview series with optionsXpress, Inc., a subsidiary of
publicly-traded optionsXpress Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: OXPS) covering the topic of
futures trading.

This first discussion provides investors with the very basics on futures, how they
are traded and how investors interested in this market can get started. Each
interview in this series will provide information that expands on the previous
discussions to allow investors to build on their knowledge of the futures market.

There are several key benefits that can make investing in futures contracts a wise
addition to an investment portfolio. According to Mr. Michael Zarembski, a Futures
Analyst with optionsXpress, a pioneer in equity options and futures trading,
"Financial leverage is one of the biggest benefits to trading any futures contract
but it is also one of the biggest risks. Leverage is the ability to buy or sell a
commodity with a small fraction of the underlying value of the contract on deposit
or margin and, as a result, it can magnify investing profits and losses
substantially."
