Dreamcast Schedule
Update
Seaman now has a confirmed date of June 24. Two special packages
will be available with this odd underwater game - a package that includes a microphone for
communicating with Seaman and another package that includes the mike as well as a special
VMS that contains a mini-Seaman interactive game. The Dreamcast version of King of
Fighters 1999 Dream Match will be linkable with the Neo-Geo Pocket version of King of
Fighters R-2. NCS will provide more details on how this will work when we have more
details from SNK. Check out the other DC updates in our upcoming Dreamcast
schedule. Pre-orders are welcome. |

Customers who have placed pre-orders with our company will be contacted today and new
orders are welcome for shipping on Tueday. |

Dancing Blade 2 / PS / US$60
Konami is one publisher, in addition to Square, that has decided to implement
the new Sony anti-mod protection in their new games. Dancing Blade 2 is protected but it
may be played with a PAR (caetla) disc swap or by Japanese consoles. NCS will take
delivery of DB2 tomorrow. |

Yen Equilibrium /
07:32AM
Quiet trading in the forex with the dollar down to Y119.90. No plays
right now because it is not assured that we'll test Y118 - we could very well rebound to
Y121 as early as today. Waffling = no profitable arbitrage. |

Dungeons & Dragons Collection
NCS has restocked this Saturn title in depth today and we should have
available stock for the rest of this quarter. The price remains at US$58. |

On-line Store
We have received quite a number of inquiries concerning new accounts
on our on-line store. Please note that although you may have ordered from NCS before by
telephone or fax, you will not have an account on the store unless you create one. We
recommend that all current NCS customers set up their accounts on the store with their
next order as it will facilitate future orders as well as future tracking information
since it will be posted to your account automatically once we ship your order. |

Capital Markets /
12:12PM
At 07:10PM yesterday, Globex was down near it's lock-limit. The Nasdaq
futures hit -49.80 while the SP hit -20.40. We were expecting a rebound overnight but the
levels remained poor this morning with the SP down 20.20 and the Naz lower by 48.50. YHOO
opened down heavy and we sold out of our position when it hit US$195. It
proceeded to drop to US$192 but has since rebounded to US$204.
Sigh, we earned US$21,300.00 but we want to short again later this week.
We'd like to see YHOO hit US$210.00 before opening another set of puts but we may have to
wait until Tuesday since we want to see what INTC says about their earnings. We will only
use the profits that were made this morning on any further short trades since the market
is too strong and nonsensical. To be quite honest, we'd rather go long YHOO at this point
since the market rebounded from dire lows this morning and the money keeps pouring in at a
torrid pace. INTC will be the linchpin for our trading biases this week. |
