Sidoti & Company, LLC Semi-Annual Micro-Cap Conference January 13, 2014 at The Grand Hyatt Hotel New York   Sidoti & Company, LLC is pleased to invite you to our Semi-Annual Micro-Cap Conference on Monday, January 13, 2014.  Midtown Manhattan’s Grand Hyatt Hotel will again be the venue.  The event  -- our eighth -- will be one of the largest gatherings ever held of institutional money managers and management teams focused on the sub-200 million market cap sector.  At least 70 companies will tell their stories, having met Sidoti’s criteria of presenting only companies that have sound fundamentals and intriguing stories, show fast growth and profitability, or otherwise hold great promise, yet are largely unknown to the investment community. If positive feedback is any indication, attendees and presenters alike find Sidoti’s conferences to be well-organized and value-added.  The firm’s ability to leverage its experience in the small-cap arena means that few others can match its reputation for consistency and quality. For more information about the conference please visit microcap.sidoti.com. January 13’s power-packed event will again show the fruits of our coordinated and diligent effort to create the Street’s first complete research product for micro-cap names.  We began covering this neglected segment four years ago, with five micro-cap analysts.  The team was the only one of its kind, but Sidoti maintained that many micro-cap companies have solid fundamentals and/or unique growth catalysts, and had faith it could persuade investors the group contains superior investment opportunities.  Now 20 Sidoti analysts cover more than 200 micro-cap names.  That total is likely to exceed 400 by the end of 2014. The conference will begin with breakfast and registration at 7 a.m. and conclude late in the afternoon.  Luncheon will be provided.  For an idea of the quality listening you will enjoy, please follow the link below, which offers a sample of our presenters. http://www.meetmax.com/upload/event_21157/Microcap%20Schedule%20Jan%202014.pdf You may register before January 2, 2013 at http://www.meetmax.com/sched/event_21157/investor_reg_new.html?event_id=21157&cmd=register For your information, the Grand Hyatt New York is located at Park Avenue at Grand Central Station in New York City, about 8 miles from LaGuardia Airport and 12 miles from JFK International.  Travel time depends on the time of the day and weather conditions.  Please plan accordingly.  For your convenience, we have reserved a block of rooms at the hotel. https://resweb.passkey.com/go/SidotiJanuary2014 As always, our goal is to make this conference well worth the precious time of investors and presenters alike, and we look forward to your participation.  If you have any questions, please call Lynn Orenstein at (212) 453-7031 or me at (212) 453-7000.

RAY KELLY NYPD IS POWERLESS AGAINST MOTORCYCLE DRIVERS

* THE NYPD AFRAID OF PURSUING MOTOR BIKERS
* MOTORBIKES POLICE CHASE COULD LEAD TO LAWSUITS SAYS POLICE CHIEF INSPECTOR
New York City
A motor biker gang has beaten up an Asian driver who has a struck one of their own and left the scene because he feared for his and family safety. No wonder, even the New York Police Department guys under the command of Ray Kelly can watch and not do anything because they are afraid of pursuing motor bikers. Yes, those unruly barbarians. Big guys with tattoos and large beards, aggressively clothed with a mean look with nasty eyes. No wonder, we are seeing more and more of them on the roads of the City of New York. " Driving in this city is crazy. Not only you have to deal with aggressive taxi drivers and unyielding pedestrians but you also have motorcycles zooming at supersonic speeds." says a resident in the Astoria section of Queens. The NYPD of the 114th Precinct of Cirabisi and company are good only at catching gullible guys with no seat belts ( an easy win win ticket for the men in blue uniform). Stephen Cirabisi, the top guy at the 114th Precinct in Astoria says a pursuit of the motor biker could lead to injury,damage and possibly a costly lawsuit to the NYPD. But, with the help of residents who can identify these wild unruly beasts of the road, he can have his men get to them in a trap at their living locations, thus causing no damages and no lawsuits against the NYPD and the city.

THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN

Astoria, New York
The government shuts down after Obama Care was turned by the Republicans. Some services will not be affected. They will include active military personnel, TSA and traffic control agents as well as Social Security and Medicare Services. The shutdown could cost taxpayers about 1 billion per week and experts say it could shave 1/3 percent of GDP for the 4th quarter of 2013.

THE REAL ECONOMIST SEES DANGERS AHEAD FOR THE DOW

New York City,
With a strong market up to August, the Dow has managed to get deep into 15000 plus area. But yesterday, the support level at 15000 has collapsed and now the Dow finds itself in a free fall scenario that could push it at least 10 percent lower by mid October (13500 area ). With the possibility of Fed tightening finally becoming more real, interest rates could move much higher and strengthening of the dollar also against the euro could take effect. " This is something that I have been looking at as we see lofty valuations for many of the Dow components. With a strong summer, I don't expect the fall to be kind. Also, adverse international events could always trigger adverse events for the multinationals. Even though there are dangers for the blue chips, I still see opportunities for a selection of smaller caps.
