Dear Sara,

Summer is over and it's time again to get back to school, work and some 
serious things, like investing.  One of our goals this August has been to 
build in some important features to help you with your investing strategies.  
Indeed, we've been hard at work implementing changes for ShareBuilder.

We've just expanded our Research section, something many of you had 
requested.  We have added a number of new tools to track stocks, access 
information and experiment with investing ideas.  One of my favorites is 
"What If I Had Invested" a tool that lets you analyze what would have 
happened had you invested monthly for any period of time in any stock.  Gives 
new meaning to the concept of "20/20 Hindsight"!  Go to  to check it out, 
along with these other great resources:

?  Charts and quotes on any NYSE or NASDAQ stock.
?  Interactive historical charts for stock performance.
?  Earnings estimates and financial data on public companies.
?  Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings for each security.
?  Detailed company profiles.
?  Real-time market updates.

We have also installed a number of tools that you can use as easy-to-use 
calculators that let you plan college savings, retirement, tax calculations 
and so on.  These are provided as part of our Research area and will always 
be available from our Home page.

Another important change regards the start of "decimalization" in the 
securities industry - namely, quoting stock prices in decimal amounts instead 
of in fractions.  This is something that affects everyone in the securities 
industry and is intended to provide investors with simpler and more efficient 
share pricing over time.  Decimal quotes officially began on August 28th at 
the direction of the SEC for a small pilot group of stocks.  The pilot group 
will expand significantly later this month.  Eventually, this system will be 
phased into the entire industry for all stocks. This is what it means for 
you- if you are buying any of the stocks in the initial pilot group, then you 
future purchases and quotes will be presented in decimal form; all other 
stocks will continue to be quoted and traded in fractions.  The ShareBuilder 
stocks that are currently affected are listed below.

Shares Quoted in Decimal Amounts:
?  Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC)
?  Forest City Enterprises Inc. Class A (FCE-A)
?  FedEx Corp. (FDX)
?  Gateway Inc. (GTW)
?  Hughes Supply Inc. (HUG)
?  Media General, Inc. Class A (MEG-A)
?  Regal-Beloit Corp. (RBC)

Back to school brings thoughts of college, and college planning.  If you 
don't have an investment plan set up yet for your kids (or your grandkids, 
nephews or nieces), think about a ShareBuilder account to get things started 
this fall.  If you have additional questions, feel free to contact one of our 
customer care agents via email at mailto:customercare@netstock.com or call us 
toll-free at 1-888-NET-STOK between the hours of 6 AM and 6 PM Pacific Time 
Monday through Friday.


Best regards,

Jeff Seely
President and CEO
