Dear Trader and Investor,
Using his proprietary trading system, Thierry Martin has identified a stock which he believes will trade higher within the next few days.
INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS (Nasdaq - ISSC)
TARGET= + $2.00
Innovative Solutions & Support Inc. designs, manufactures and sells flight information computers, electronic displays and advanced monitoring systems to the United States Department of Defense, government agencies, commercial air transport carriers and corporate/general aviation markets. Historically, the Company has focused its efforts on developing and marketing air data systems that measure, calculate and display critical flight information, such as airspeed and altitude, and instruments that measure engine and fuel data, primarily for use in the aircraft retrofit market and also for the original equipment manufacturer market. Since 1997, a substantial portion of Innovative Solutions' revenues have been from the sale of air data systems that bring aircraft into compliance with government regulations.
For the nine months ended 6/30/03, revenues fell 14% to $18.1 million. Net income fell 30% to $2.7 million. Results reflect completion of work on the KC-135 program and lower gross margins due to lower revenues.

TECH WORLD: Retail and the Changing Face of Deliveries
-----------------------------------------------------------
By Jeff Neal, Optionetics.com

Technology has had a great impact on the retail sector during the past decade but the latest transformation is fairly transparent to the consumer since it mainly exists in the operations area. The new technology has allowed retail outlets to manage their inventory much more efficiently and consequently have been better able to keep shelves stocked.
In the past, retailers have had to make inventory decisions concerning quantities and categories of goods months ahead of time. The problem was once inventory projections were set they had no way of changing them, making for a very inelastic supply chain. With the application of this latest supply chain or value chain technology, inventory projections have become far more fluid and dynamic.
Today the cashier station is connected to suppliers everywhere. When a sale is completed, transactions are automatically generated that ship replacement products across all modes of transportation just in time for retail inventories and shelves to be replenished. If executed properly this eliminates empty display areas or deeply discounted prices, which has plagued retailers in the past. This just in time inventory management technology can better match supply and demand resulting in greater store operation efficiencies.
Typically the new goods and merchandise originate from a warehouse with the whole process being automated. The warehouse receives orders each time a sale is transacted. For example, UPS keeps up with the massive amount of packages that needs to ship to its largest retail customers by being plugged into the retailer's supply chain systems. These external interfaces are key to insuring that the just in time inventory approach can indeed succeed and that a company knows in advance when surges in demand are happening. With this new technology delivery companies can much easier accommodate a large increase in demand than it could ever do before.
As soon as goods are ordered information is passed detailing the number, size, and dimensions of each package along with an associative bar code through the computer networks. This advanced routing tells loaders where to put each package on delivery trucks as well as provide drivers timely information regarding the most efficient route to take. It is this type of technological infrastructure that has allowed delivery companies and retailers to collaborate in such away that only the right amount of merchandise is present at just the right times.
Going forward this technology will continue to evolve. It is anticipated that computer chips will render bar codes obsolete and the amount of information known about a shipment will be increased dramatically. The chip technology not only can store and share more information but it will also facilitate the shipping process by allowing packages to go through the delivery networks without being scanned. This will have a tremendous impact on delivery times. These new e-commerce based systems have already turned traditional retail outlets into as much of a point of origin for shipments as a destination.
Consider a typical delivery driver leaving various retail stores in the evening. The driver goes from store to store to gather packages. Upon departure his delivery vehicle is full again with goods going to the residents of consumers who bought them online. In the past this would not have been possible. However, now the delivery vehicle is full when it arrives to the retailer and is full when it departs the retailer thanks to the latest in supply chain technology.
The application of this technology has been a tremendous help for retail operations managers as well as their suppliers. But hopes for even greater efficiencies being achieved appear to be right around the corner.
Happy Trading.

"Top Trader Reveals Amazing Trading Breakthrough That's Exploding The Profit Potential Of Traders Worldwide"
I Am Convinced It Will Do The Same For You
http://www.the-way-to-trade.com
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Paul Handforth. Chances are you haven't heard of me before. But by the time you finish reading this, you'll be glad you finally did.
If you are trading, or considering trading any market in the world, this could be the most eye-opening few moments you will ever spend. Hang on to your hat...
...because The Way To Trade by John Piper is simply dynamite.
No matter if you're:
Trading indices, stocks, e-minis, commodities, options or forex
A beginner or fully experienced trader
Day-trading, swing trading, position trading, trend trading
Whether the market is up or down...
... The Way To Trade will revolutionize your trading. As you study every word of this book, you'll be astonished you survived without it.
A growing wave of excitement is sweeping the world of trading now. Discover the shocking reasons why below....
Choose Your Own Rewards
How much do you think you're efforts as a trader could be worth? $1000 per month, $1000 every week, $1000 each day? But what if I were to say you you can set your own rewards? Would you be interested to know more...?
But online you will find hundreds of people trying to show you the way to a trading fortune. They can't all be right.
So how do you know what to believe? Have you seen endless offers for these same old recycled solutions? They say:
Order their trading system - (if only it were that simple)
Develop the right mind-set - (hmmmm)
Charting is the answer - (I wish)
The answers are deep within - (grin)
Toss a coin, throw a dart - (Have you tried cycles of the moon?)
Each of them tell you their approach is the only way. They spend all their time arguing amongst themselves. That makes me chuckle - but makes another part of me angry. Really angry! Because it's not what they're giving you that matters, it's what they're not giving you.
By only showing you their own small part of the picture they're not teaching you the critical skills you need to trade. Without these skills, even the best systems or signals in the world will never produce consistent profits for you. But that fact is silently hidden from you...until now.
So who IS correct? Who will lead you to the truth? What are the skills you most need to learn...?
Well, allow me tell you a little about the revolutionary trading approach inside The Way To Trade. You can begin to apply today and I'll guarantee you've never heard of anything like it before. It's a fresh but explosive idea and it's what will finally make the difference to your trading.
It's called The Trading Pyramid and the excitement it's generating is spreading like wild fire.
