more Uranium Oil and Gas Limited – Float/IPO expected to close 6 September 2006

The uranium market outlook has improved considerably in the last two years. A growing focus on greenhouse gas reduction appears likely to favour nuclear power generation. The strategic importance of uranium as a power source is rising as China’s rapid industrialisation stresses the supply of more traditional energy sources. Current global uranium production meets only around 55% of demand. With stockpiles falling, uranium prices have in recent times increased significantly.

Uranium Oil and Gas Limited has an extensive tenement package in Western Australia, which is prospective for Uranium, Copper, Gold and Molybdenum. The Company also has interests in 2 petroleum permit applications and one granted petroleum permit covering a total of approximately 27,000 km2 in Western Australia and the Northern Territory.

InvestSMART have secured an allocation of $500,000 for clients interested in this IPO. Cheques should be made out to "Uranium Oil and Gas Limited Share Application Money Account” and posted to our office at:

Suite 2, Level 2, Butler Arcade
37-39 The Corso
Manly NSW 2095

more Macquarie ALPS Series 6 – Fund expected to close 18 August 2006

If you are looking for an investment that combines capital protection at maturity+ with the potential for high income, fixed at 12.5% for the first year, consider the new ALPS 6.

The income generated from ALPS 6 is linked to the performance of a portfolio of 80 US companies listed on either the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) or NASDAQ exchange. The income will rise each year, but may be reduced if one or more of the shares in the portfolio falls significantly.

Macquarie Bank Limited will lend, to approved investors, up to 75% of their Investment Amount so you can invest into Macquarie ALPS Series 6 with a smaller capital outlay and no margin calls.

InvestSMART will rebate 100% of the 2.27% sales commission on ALPS 6.
