It is the Company's first Stand-Up(tm) MRI sale in the state of New Jersey. Mr. Norman Brettler, M.H.A., administrator for Tilton Dynamic Imaging, explained why Tilton chose the Stand-Up(tm) MRI: "Northfield is a very competitive market for MRI providers, so the task of selecting an MRI had to be done very carefully. Frankly, my first instinct was to go with a large multi-product medical device company. But, in order to be thorough, we felt we should consider FONAR's Stand-Up(tm) MRI that we had heard so much about. We were very impressed with the unique and revolutionary diagnostic capabilities of the Stand-Up(tm) MRI, particularly for orthopedic applications." Mr. Brettler continued: "I have been involved with busy MRI imaging businesses for many years. The vast majority of all MRI scans are orthopedic related. Because of this, I believe that the weight-bearing capabilities of the FONAR's Position Imaging(tm) (pMRI(tm)) scanner place it in a position to capture a majority of the MRI scan market. Referring physicians will now be able to obtain information that is simply unobtainable from other scanners." Mr. Brettler explained, "The Stand-Up(tm) MRI allows for the visualization of anatomy under normal weight-bearing positions, and it allows physicians to evaluate patients' problems with the patients in the positions that cause them pain or other symptoms. No other MRI or any other type of diagnostic scanner can do that. The Stand-Up(tm) MRI is also the most patient-friendly MRI in the world. Patients can watch TV while they are being scanned. Considering the demographics of southern New Jersey, the medical needs of the community, the unique diagnostic capabilities of the Stand-Up, and the enormous appeal of a truly Open MRI, the Stand-Up(tm) MRI was clearly the best choice for our practice." The Stand-Up(tm) MRI will be installed in a 3,000 sq. ft. marble and glass building located at 1226 Tilton Road in Northfield, New Jersey, which is in the greater Atlantic City area. The Stand-Up(tm) MRI, FONAR's Upright(tm) imaging system, is the world's only whole-body MRI scanner with the ability to perform Position Imaging (tm) (pMRI(tm)), i.e. patients can be scanned standing, sitting, bending or lying down. With its unique ability to scan patients in weight-bearing postures, the FONAR Stand-Up(tm) MRI has identified pathology that had gone undetected on conventional, lie-down MRI scanners. Because of its unique geometric design, the FONAR Stand-Up(tm) MRI is remarkably spacious and non-claustrophobic. There is nothing in front of the patients' faces or over their heads to create a "closed-in" feeling. Patients typically sit comfortably watching a 42" TV throughout the scanning procedure.

FONAR has the patent to the world's only Stand Up MRI, which allows
patients to be scanned in weight bearing positions. Read the comments
made by the doctors and MRI centers who have been purchasing them.

And why do you think that it is bargain priced?

The Stand Up MRI is relatively new, and sales are just beginning to
take off, and the company is just now returning to profitability.
While it was down, it had to dilute its shares in order to avoid
taking on massive debt. This kept it at a very low price. Now that
sales are coming in, the dilution will end, and the book value of each
share is bound to increase - along with the share price.

I like to buy good companies that have been kicked in the balls, and
are just getting back on their feet. If you look at FONR's finbancial
history, you will see that even as of March, its losses were
lessening, and its revenues were increasing. With the influx of sales
of the 1.5 million dollar machines (which are coming with increased
frequency), I expect its upcoming reports to be even stronger.

If you look at its long term weekly chart, you will see that it is
moving decisively off of a long term base, on increasing volume. This
is a sign that smart money is accumulating it.

In my experience, buying a company with solid financials, increasing
revenues and earnings (or at least rapidly decreasing losses), moving
up on increasing volume off of a bargain basement price is a winning
ticket.

I would be very surprised to see FONR fall from here, and fully expect
it to at least double or triple within the next year. This is one of
the best low-priced stock plays I have seen in quite some time.

No, I'm not a day trader. I like to buy promising low priced stocks
in solid companies, and sell them after they rise in price. Rarely am
I in and out of a trade on the same day.

I personally appreciate it when people give me tips on quality stocks.

Of course, you should never, ever buy a stock based solely on a tip.
You must always do your own research, and only invest in things you
understand.

I am very grateful to the person who tipped me off to FONR, though.
Even if you don't buy it, just follow this stock over the next year.
You will be amazed.

With all due respect John, I do not think that this stock is bargain
priced. It is priced at 5x equity with losses. Medical equipment
business is, in my not very educated opinion, a big racket and hard
for newcomers to get into. I cannot form an educated guess as to how
many people need MRI done in load bearing positions either, which is
the key to figuring out how many of these devices will be bought.

I am reading their 10-k right now, they are capitalizing a big part of
their R&D, which I do not like very much. It's just a bad sign.

Their director is selling shares at 90 cents per share, in miniscule
amounts.

Do you know the term for buying a stock because it is beginning to
rapidly sell a unique product that will generate many hundreds of
millions of dollars of revenues over the next several years?
Intelligent investing!

You are not allowed to purchase FONR, Doug. You are to sit on the
sidelines, and watch as it rapidly increses in price.

I hope you enjoy the many updates I am going to bring to this grouup
in the coming months!

FONAR Sells 49th Stand-Up MRI to Texas Surgeon
Monday July 7, 3:15 am ET
New Customer Plans to Purchase Three for Dallas-Fort Worth Area

MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 7, 2003--FONAR Corporation
(Nasdaq:FONR - News), The MRI Specialist(TM), announced today the sale
of its 49th FONAR Stand-Up(TM) MRI scanner to Upright Imaging, L.P., a
consortium headed by Richard A. Marks, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon. He
intends to install the unit in the north Dallas, Texas area. The
Stand-Up(TM) MRI is an Upright(TM) imaging system by FONAR
Corporation.

Dr. Marks gave his reasons for purchasing FONAR's Stand-Up(TM) MRI:
"Often, a patient's symptoms manifest only when the patient is in a
particular position or posture. We have selected the Stand-Up(TM) MRI
because it is the only scanner that allows us to place the patient in
whatever position necessary to reproduce the symptom. Once the patient
is in that position, only then can the MRI show us exactly what is
causing the problem. Pathology that is undetectable with the patient
lying down, but evident when the patient is, say, sitting up, can now
be accurately assessed. For example, what a recumbent MRI might see
only as a minor bulge, may be an obvious disc protrusion with the
patient upright. The Stand-Up(TM) MRI allows physicians to
consistently and confidently determine the best treatment plan for all
their patients. Our group expects to buy at least two more
Stand-Up(TM) MRIs for placement in south Dallas and Fort Worth, and
anticipates the possible need for a second unit in the north Dallas
location."

FONAR Sells 46th Stand-Up MRI To Surgeon
Thursday June 26, 3:16 am ET
Purchased To Improve Surgical Results

The MRI Specialist(TM), announced today the sale of its 46th FONAR
Stand-Up(TM) MRI to Dr. Rahul Nath, MD, a microsurgical reconstructive
surgeon in the Southwest. The Stand-Up(TM) MRI is an Upright(TM)
Imaging System by FONAR Corporation.

Dr. Nath said: "The Stand-Up(TM) MRI has many advantages in planning
reconstructive surgeries such as brachial plexus repair,
musculoskeletal reconstruction and microvascular reconstructive
procedures. Until now, there was no imaging modality capable of
imaging anatomy in the upright position, which is physiologic for
extremity function and certain blood flow characteristics important to
microvascular reconstruction. We see unlimited potential for this
technology in improving the results of surgery and patient outcome. I
have no doubt that healthcare expenditures will be more efficient as
our outcomes improve based on improved surgical planning. Our group is
planning to purchase at least 5 to 8 more units for the local area
alone."

I do agree that you should never, ever invest in something based
solely on a recommendation. I like getting tips from people, but
always, always, always do my own research, and only buy if it is a
company I understand and think will grow. We all develop our own
investment styles, and are much better off trading in stocks by
criteria we like, know and understand.

I have passed on recommendations that skyrocketed, solely because I
personally did not understand how the company worked, or what the
person doing the recommending saw in it. This is fine, since I have
also passed on more recommendations that tanked.

FONR is precisely the kind of stock I personally like to buy the best.
Usually, though, I will get out of a trade after a big quick up move -
but I intend to stay with FONR for a while, even if it corrects, as I
think there is great long term potential with the Stand Up MRI, as
sales continue to roll in and the company becomes profitable.

Right. So far, I do not see how I can understand the future of Fonar.

I have passed on recommendations that skyrocketed, solely because I personally did not understand how the company worked, or what the person doing the recommending saw in it. This is fine, since I have also passed on more recommendations that tanked.

Exactly.

FONR is precisely the kind of stock I personally like to buy the best. Usually, though, I will get out of a trade after a big quick up move - but I intend to stay with FONR for a while, even if it corrects, as I think there is great long term potential with the Stand Up MRI, as sales continue to roll in and the company becomes profitable.

To me a stand up MRI seems to have very little use, relative to the
whole MRI market. But obviously if Fonar sells, say, 200 units per
year, they will do well. There are many unknowns here for me. I tried
thinking how to understand them better, and could not come with a way
to do so. Also I was put off by the insider stock sales and their
stock dilution, which leads to substantial overstating of profits
(understating of losses in Fonar's case).

My personal investing style is a little less exciting than yours, I
like to look at established companies that fall out of popularity for
wrong reasons. Home Depot was the latest. Plus I own some Berkshire
Hathaway stock, which has not done spectacularly, but the company is
doing decently so I will hold on to it. I bought most of my BRK stock
at relatively advantageous prices. Some of it I keep since 5-6 years
ago in a stock certificate.

Looking at the weekly chart, HD sure did have a nice upward retrace

I also like MWY a lot at these levels. With 55M in cash and no debt,
and increasing revenues last quarter, it is a steal at 3.25 (even
though it has been losing money, it is still priced below sales, and
the bad news all seems to be priced into the stock already).

Second quarter earnings will be released after market close today - if
they suck, it could retest 3, but I see a lot of upside here. Even if
it does retest its lows, I see this as an excellent long term buy.

Um, it did not increase revenues last quarter (compared to the onebefore that). There is also 33 million of (likely bull****) goodwillon the books.I think that you are on a right track, but MWY is not cheap enough. Ialso like the SEC investigation story generally.

MWY will soon be much cheaper! It released **** earnings after hours
today. Look out below!!! I also agree that "goodwill" assets are
crap.

At some point, if the new CEO can turn it around, MWY might be worth
buying. No telling when that might me...

A similar situation arose recently with circuit city. It fell to 3 orso (which I missed because I was not paying attention being busy withfamily nonsense), and then rose to 6-7. At which point I noticed itand noted that CC had a great balance sheet with $11.5 in equity, nobull****, likely no fake inventories or goodwill etc.I made several trades on CC all of which made money as it went up anddown. I feel that it is a good bet since CC has real value in it andmay become a target for acquisition by anyone who is looking fordecent store real estate etc. I may rebuy CC yet again if it fallsbelow 9.i
