Press Release Summary = With hands free auto-trading, Uptik Optimized Options
trading system generates exponentially higher returns than a traditional portfolio

Press Release Body = The changes in real-time trading software have created a new
type of trader that grow portfolios 100% and more annually, while still maintaining
conservative to moderate risk ratios. This rate of return is exponentially greater
than even the top hedge funds. Between 1999 and 2004, according to Van Hedge Fund
Advisors, the top 10% of mutual and hedge funds grew annually at 13.4% and 28.6%
respectively. The modern breed of real-time traders is capturing hedge funds'
annual percentages in only months.

"We have found that apt utilization of contemporary technology and resources allows
the modern-day trader to consistently identify the time and price of the most
probable impulse of a stock and its options," stated Grace Chen, the President of
Uptik Investments and Research Group.

Additionally, international political instability and changing economic structures
are testing the traditionally held beliefs regarding the safety of long-term
investment in the equities market.

"In historical comparisons of market volatility to news events during the past 15
years, the statistics indicate the market is increasingly devastated by political
current events and national security concerns," as analyzed by Zack Iskandaron, the
Director of Research for Uptik Investments. With the rise in threats against global
political stability, the favorable risk to reward ratio for short-term trades
continue to grow.

Uptik Investments' trading success comes from the ability to gain profits regardless
of market direction. The trading philosophy is to identify tangential market
inflection points of time, price, and pattern to capture profitable trend impulses.
The trades are short-term positions with intermediate trend continuation or
reversals, while holding very conservative stop losses to preserve capital.

The proof of the new breed of traders is in the results. These new economic and
trading theories are practiced successfully, as seen in the ability of portfolios to
surpass traditional annual goals in only months. In the past month alone, the Uptik
portfolios as seen at www.uptikinvestments.com have grown by 30 - 60% with Sharpe
ratios above 3.0. Through partnerships with several leading brokerage firms,
subscribers can now opt to have their brokerage trade Uptik's signals at no
additional cost. As Uptik exponentially raises the bar of performance, are
traditional advisors now becoming extinct?
