Brookstreet Securities Wraps up 2004 -- Expanding Nationwide Network of Financial Professionals.

IRVINE, Calif. -- Stanley C. Brooks, president of the nationally recognized, independent brokerage firm Brookstreet Securities Corporation, announced today that Brookstreet has increased its Members (registered representatives) by five in the past month, expanding its nationwide network by 133 Members, year-to-date.

Brookstreet's Members are licensed to offer stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds, insurance products and commodities to accommodate a variety of investor objectives. Accounts are carried by National Financial Services LLC ("NFS"), a Fidelity Investments company, Member NYSE/SIPC. Client accounts are protected by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation ("SIPC") up to $500,000 (including cash claims limited to $100,000). For details, please see www.sipc.org. NFS has arranged for additional insurance protection for cash and securities to supplement its SIPC coverage. This additional protection covers total account net equity in excess of the $500,000/$100,000 coverage provided by SIPC. Neither coverage protects against a decline in the market value of securities.

An account with NFS may have check-writing, money-market automatic account sweep, debit card automatic teller access, and direct access to account status. These features are all in addition, to securities such as brokerage certificates of deposits, stocks, bonds, options, and mutual funds made available to the customer through their Brookstreet Securities Representative.
