Good Morning Members, Immediately turn your attention to MERR (Merriman Holdings, Inc.)! MERR is a company comprised of evolution, determination and persistence. The firm has revitalized its banking and brokerage platform to focus solely on small, high-growth companies and the institutions and individuals that invest in them. The dramatic change in the brokerage landscape over the past several years has created a need for innovative advisory and financing services. MERR believes that helping these growth companies access capital they require will allow them to innovate, create jobs and in some cases change the world. Over the past 10 years, the company has closed investment banking transactions worth more than $9 billion. Headquartered in San Francisco and New York, the firm is also the leading investment bank for OTCQX-listed companies, having more OTCQX listings than any competing investment bank. MERR’s parent company, Merriman Holdings, Inc. trades on OTCQB. MERR generates quality advice and service on behalf of our clients through four business segments: Corporate Services Advisory, Institutional Trading Execution, Investment Banking and Financial Entrepreneur Platform. The company has the extensive institutional relationships, knowledge, and experience needed to advise corporate clients on complex capital market issues. We are contrarians—focusing on areas of the marketplace that mainstream investors do not see—and are recognized for our sector expertise in industrial efficiency, “disruptive” and materials technologies, telecommunications, resources, and consumer innovation. "MERR wrote the first report on Stratasys (NASDAQ – SSYS) when we were a $29mm market cap with no other research coverage or sponsorship. They were the first investment bank to the table, and really got behind our story early and worked relentlessly to present our value proposition to potential investors. The company also helped us with two significant financings in our early days, and we have always greatly valued their advice on capital markets related issues. I’ve known the Co-chairman and CEO, Jon Merriman, since 2002 and respect and appreciate his efforts on behalf of the entrepreneur." ~ Scott Crump, Founder and CEO, Stratasys Ltd. Recent Developments: MERR recently announced the hiring of Reid Hyde to their Financial Entrepreneur Platform ("FEP"). The company`s FEP is a leader in providing entrepreneurial, independent investment banking teams with a compliant, flexible and highly collegial network. "I`ve known Reid for over 20 years and it`s a real pleasure to work with him again. He is an enormously effective relationship manager and we look forward to him helping us rebuild a strong presence in Texas," said Jon Merriman, founder and CEO of MERR. Mr. Hyde has been involved in the capital markets since 1992, beginning his career as a corporate fixed-income trader with Rauscher Pierce (now Royal Bank of Canada). Since that time, he has been involved in high yield sales and trading, institutional equity sales, and ultra high net worth advisory to family offices in Texas. Mr Hyde was a member of the team to establish the Dallas office of Montgomery Securities (now Bank of America), as well as the co-founder of the Dallas office of Friedman Billings & Ramsey. Mr. Hyde has also worked independently as a generalist in investment banking, assisting in capital raises in industries including life sciences and oil and gas. Most recently, Mr. Hyde assisted in securing $20mm of debt and equity capital on behalf of a Texas based energy service company. The funds were sourced from a single entity, which is associated with one of the world leaders in oil and gas exploration. "I chose MERR`s FEP based upon my long friendship with Jon, and more importantly, the immense respect I have for Jon as a professional," said Reid Hyde. "It is my intent to bring Jon and his team`s talents into the Texas market, and develop a resource for smaller companies in this region seeking capital and advisory assistance." Mr. Hyde will serve as a Senior Managing Director in the Dallas area, and can be reached at rhyde@mcfep.com, or 214-906-6422. Mr. Hyde received his B.A. from the University of Texas, Austin, and his M.B.A. from Southern Methodist University. Technical Analysis & Financial Results: The company's total revenues were approximately $2,360,000 and $8,361,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, representing a $2,099,000 or 47% and a $5,280,000 or 39% decrease over the same periods in 2014. The decreases were primarily due to non-recurring and non-cash principal transaction losses incurred, mainly due to the sale of a portion of our warrant portfolio, and less investment banking revenue in 2015. We consider it an extremely rare find when you discover a high revenue company in the OTCMarket, moreso insanely lucrative when it's trading at its lowest price ever. It's really hard to believe, but... MERR has been coasting along at its 52-week low price of $0.09 per share for a while now. That's literally a respective 93.23% discount from it's 52-week high price of $1.33 per share. The company has an extremely thin level II and a tiny float of 148.71K to make things even sweeter. That's only $13.4K worth of shares at this bottom of the barrel, discounted and seemingly undervalued price... this opportunity is way upwards of shockingly good. If MERR returns to its 52-week high price, traders would see more than +1,377% in easy profit! We've had dozens upon dozens of these massive quadruple-digit winners before. Easy gains are up for grabs today... We are anticipating a ridiculously profitable day for MERR today... The trading session has already begun, so don't delay and pull up MERR on your trading screen!

OS electronically disseminates information (the "Information") on its website, in newsletters, featured reports, spam compliant double-opt in email communications or otherwise pertaining to Profiled Companies' (the "Issuer" or "Issuers" or "Profiled Company" or "Profiled Companies"), the securities of which are most frequently common stock shares quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board ("OTCBB") or _Pink Sheets. The Information is based on information received from Issuers, publicly available information, such as quarterly (with unaudited financial statements) and annual reports (with audited financial statement s) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("S E C"), quarterly and annual unaudited financial reports and Information and Disclosure Statements filed with the _Pink Sheets, the Issuer's website and information obtained through search engines such as Yahoo Finance, Market Watch and Business Wire. We synthesize the Information from these informational sources for our Readers as a starting point for further inquiry into the Issuer and its securities. Because OS receives compensation for OS's dissemination of the Information (as disclosed in our Compensation Disclosure Section), including at times in the form of common stock shares (the "Shares"), OS should not be considered to be an independent provider of the Information. OS is not a research analyst, registered investment advisor or registered securities broker dealer and the Information should not be construed in any manner, shape or form as investment-advice, investment recommendations or opinions or viewpoints regarding the Profiled Company or its securities or as a solicitation to offer, _purchase or sell the Profiled Company's securities.

OS does not undertake any responsibility whatsoever of these forward looking statements, nor any legal obligation whatsoever of updating the Information. The Information is presented only as a brief "snapshot" of the Profiled Company and should only be used, at most, and if at all, as a starting point for Readers to conduct a thorough investigation of the Profiled Company and its securities, to consult with their financial, _legal or other advisor(s) and avail themselves of filings and information that may be accessed at s e c . g o v or _pink sheets or other electronic medium, including: (a) reviewing S E C periodic reports (Forms 10-Q and 10-K), reports of material events (Form 8-K), insider reports (Forms 3, 4, 5 and Schedule 13D); (b) reviewing Information and Disclosure Statements and unaudited financial reports filed with the _Pink Sheets; (c) obtaining and reviewing publicly available information contained in commonly known search engines such as Google; and (e) consulting investment guides at sec . g o v and finra . c o m pertaining to the risks of investing in penny stocks. In the end _result, Readers must evaluate and bear all the risks associated with the Information, including reliance on its accuracy, completeness or usefulness. In all instances, the Reader should conduct further inquiry into the Profiled Company and its securities. The Profiled Companies are subject to possible risks, including but not limited to: (a) the Information pertains to penny stocks that are subject to the S E C's penny stock rules and commonly involve a high degree of risk that may _result in the loss of some or all of an investment in the Profiled Company's securities; (b) the Issuer's penny stock may be thinly traded, which may lead to difficulties of selling its securities; (c) the SEC reporting issuer may be delinquent (not current) in its periodic reporting obligations (i.e., in its quarterly and annual reports) or the _Pink Sheet quoted company may be delinquent in its _Pink Sheet reporting obligations as indicated by _Pink Sheets New Service's posting a negative "sign" pertaining to the Issuer at _pink sheets, as follows: (i) "Lime or before the Information is being disimited Information" for companies with financial reporting problems, economic distress, or that are unwilling to file required reports with the _Pink Sheets; (ii) "_Pink Sheets - No Information", which indicates companies that are unable or unwilling to provide disclosure to the public markets, to the SEC or the _Pink Sheets; and (iii) "Caveat Emptor", signifying "_Buyer Beware" that there is a public interest concern associated with a company's _illegal spam campaign, questionable stock promotion, known investigation of a company's fraudulent activity or its insiders, regulatory suspensions or disruptive corporate actions; (d) whether the Issuer is a development stage company with little or no operations, the securities of which should be considered extremely speculative for investment purposes; (e) OS's selling of an Issuer's securities may cause its stock price to significantly decline, especially when such securities are thinly traded; (f) many companies that have their securities quoted on the OTCBB or _Pink Sheets (as well as even Exchange listed companies) have been negatively affected by the current economic downturn and lack of adequate financing to meet their operational goals or expansion plans; (g) any percentage gain from the previous day close presented on our website at is not and should not be construed as any indication whatsoever of the future stock price of an Issuer's securities or its operational _results; (h) many of the energy related and other Profiled Companies are subject to increasing environmental and other governmental regulations, which subjects them to significant costs and possible fines and liabilities for failure to comply with applicable state and federal statutes; (i) OS may receive compensation in shares of the Issuer and it or its associates, affiliated entities, officers, directors or immediate family members may sell the Shares immediately upon their receipt as well as during the dissemination of such Information or within hours, days, weeks or months thereafter, or at any time; as a _result, OS's selling activities may cause significant volatility in the Issuer's stock price and/or significantly depress the Issuer's stock price; (j) OS may _buy and sell the Shares in the open market before, during or after the dissemination of the Information or at any time, which may cause significant volatility including drops in the price of the Issuer's stock price and/or significantly depress the Issuer's stock price; (k) future success of many OTCBB and _Pink Sheet quoted Issuers is dependent upon receiving adequate financing or raising sufficient capital, which they may be unable to obtain; (l) there is an inherent and actual conflict of interest that exists between our Readers' interests and OS's interests because OS's owners, OTC: (i) receive the Shares as compensation for disseminating the Information and thereafter sell those Shares at any time for monetary gain, including at the same time the Information is being disseminated or shortly thereafter or at any time; and (ii) buys and sells the Profiled Company's shares in the open market at the same or shortly after the dissemination of the Information or at any time; (m) we do not receive any direct verification from the Issuer regarding the Information; (n) a third _party shareholder may have a potential or actual conflict of interest in paying OS for the dissemination of the publication while still holding the Issuer's shares of common stock that he or she may sell after the third _party shareholder has paid OS with his or her shares; (o) the Information should not be interpreted in any shape, form or m a n n e r whatsoever as an indication of the Issuer's future stock price or future financial performance since, among other reasons, such "comparison" companies are listed on exchanges (i.e., the New York Stock Exchange) and trade at stock prices that are thousands of percent higher than the companies we profile; and (p) Readers may encounter difficulties determining what information contained in our publications is material or non-material making it all the more imperative that they conduct further investigation of the Profiled Company and its securities ; and (q) OS hires third _party Service Providers to electronically disseminate live news regarding the Issuer, information which we do not independently provide to the Service Provider or verify and upon which we have no control over. We pay _cash consideration to the Service Providers; no securities compensation is paid to the Service Providers; and (r) our employees post messages on their individual message boards as a method of disseminating the Information on behalf of our Issuer clients which should never be used as a means of conducting analysis into the Issuer and should only be used as a starting point to obtain the names of _pink sheet or OTC Bulletin Board. Please be advised that we have NOT been compensated to profile MERR. WE OWN NO SHARES.
