Wall Street News Alert's U.S. Hot Stock Highlights -- September 22


WESTON, Fla., Sept. 22, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Wall Street News Alert's "stocks to watch" this morning are: Kewl International (Pink Sheets:KWLI), Braun Consulting, Inc. (Nasdaq:BRNC), Ptek Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:PTEK) and National Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:NSM).

Aggressive investors and traders will be watching Kewl International (Pink Sheets:KWLI) again this morning! Yesterday after the markets closed, the company issued a press release announcing that in keeping with its international markets expansion plan, it has concluded an agreement with Deep IMPEX Consultants of Ludhiana, Punjab, India which gives the firm exclusive rights to distribute and manufacture KEWL apparel in India!

This could be great news for investors! Kewl International will receive a minimum of 13.5 million rupees for the first six months, which is approximately US$50,000 per month, starting in October. However, the company believes that based on the agreed sales based formula, its revenue stream will grow substantially as sales increase.

Investors watch this one! The company added that Deep IMPEX, a leading distributor of high-end fashion, is expected to initiate marketing efforts on October 1 with a particular focus on cricket, the country's most beloved sport. In this connection, Deep IMPEX expects to line up some of the country's most recognized players to support the brand, as KEWL has accomplished in Canada with hockey, and recently initiated in Europe with soccer.

"Concluding this deal clearly is another very exciting step in our development with explosive potential," stated Dominic Fanelli, Chairman and CEO of Kewl International. He added, "As one of the fastest growing economies in the world, India has a very rapidly growing middle class that is increasingly fashion conscious. We think the opportunity in the sports casual apparel segment, in particular, is especially great."

Mr. Vishlav Joshi, Kewl International's COO, stated: "The excitement generated by a cricket match in India is undeniable. When the national team is playing, everything else comes to a grinding halt, and hundreds of millions of dollars are being spent for television rights to these events. We have no doubt that when some of the most notable cricketers begin to don the KEWL brand -- which Deep IMPEX is well positioned to accomplish -- it will boost the brand dramatically."

The stock closed yesterday at around ten cents a share.

In case you are not familiar with the company: KEWL products are sold in over 425 stores across Canada. Developed by professional players and individuals born and bred on the game, KEWL hockey clothing illustrates a specific style, spirit and character synonymous with its international attraction.

The future of KEWL will mean the expansion of its hockey roots into other sports and apparel segments. As this highly successful brand name gains popularity, it lends itself to the crossover into these areas.

Stocks showing interesting activity yesterday at the close of the regular trading day were: Braun Consulting, Inc. (Nasdaq:BRNC) up 78.9% on 2.4 million shares traded, Ptek Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq:PTEK) up 10.1% on 2.1 million shares traded and National Semiconductor Corporation (NYSE:NSM) up 1.3% on 8.2 million shares traded.

Commentary:

"In economic news, the Commerce Department reported robust housing construction in August. The 2 million units of housing construction clocked for August was the highest level of activity in five months, and far outpaced the decline economists were expecting. July's housing figures were revised upward," stated Mario Cardenas in Wall Street News Alert's daily commentary continued at: http://www.WallStreetNewsAlert.com.
