There is a discrepancy on the volume though. I show 21,300,000 on my streamer and the charts on IHUB show 2,300,00. Well, whatever, it is good to see something happen to this "dormant" stock.
Am I seeing things??? 21,300,000 shares traded? What's the
thinking here?

I am enjoying all the new views from the web camera especially
after I figured out reducing the size makes it much clearer. I had expected something of an assembly line creation of the
cabinets but it looks more like a "hands on-one at a time"
function. Got something interesting I'd like to share with
veno and 4k if you want to send me ur email. I can't PM.
Different view on the camera today.
Not yet...*sigh
As I said earlier,put me down in the win-win column too. I am
excited about the prospects of the new company and am happy to know that shares will be allocated to the current stockholders.
I am curious to know how much of ETC that EXPH will retain and
what the management structure will be. A spin off is not that
unusual and in many cases is very successful-my surprise is that it is being done this early but we cannot see the picture as JD and staff can see. This shareholder meeting will be very informative and I am eager to hear the news. Has anyone agreed
to be our "reporter on the scene" from the meeting and give us
a running dialogue?
I see this as very good news. Creating a new company to stand
alone on its merits (and profits). EXPH then continues to operate its profitable business supplying to their original customers and now one brand new customer--- ETC. Seems to me, that's a win-win. Eventually, when ETC goes public our
shares are revalued and we now have two avenues of income rather than one.
Rock...when is that shareholders meeting? Can't find it.
Is anyone planning to go?
Annie
Anyone listen to the CC? If so, can you share any update?
Many thanks
Good for BOA, they are somewhat on the ball. TDA shows no change yet.
If the 120M shares are still in the SPZI safe then I would expect those shares would also be affected. I would very much like to know if the "deal" to use SPZI software and the terms are still in effect or was that all rewritten to remove any return from OFON. We can't seem to get an answer on that. Is the Bloomberg deal dead? I get the feeling that everything is still working there and the silence we have is a result of contractual agreements. Who knows. I am overloaded with SPZI and not so much with OFON so my interest obviously is the eventual success of SPZI whether in conjunction with OFON or stand alone. Perhaps the info tomorrow will lead to more info here. We can only hope.
What are your thoughts on the 120 M shares of OFON held by SPZI? I would assume those were exchanged. Am I right in thinking 141 is using SPZI therefore the 7% per transaction fee is in effect or was that removed in a previous rewrite? So many questions-so few answers. It is warming to see life in this stock-there is hope.
Thanks Raz..I enjoy her intelligent and instructive posts. Hope all is well. Not much to cheer about now, still a waiting game.
Annie
Thanks Klon and to you also Gmen..I appreciate the PM's. I happen to agree with you on all counts. Please keep me in the loop.
Good to see the sun today even if just for a little while. Great game Cardinals vs Philly-
Looking forward to the next one.
Take care and keep the fires burning.
Annie
Calling someone a thief when you have absolutely no proof to back it up is rather farfetched. Especially when you can sit
comfortably cloaked in your anonymity and not have to bear the legal consequences. How very brave of you.
Hey Klon..I'm not far from Alatoona and it's freezing here. I thought I had gotten away from all this cold when I moved here from Ohio, guess I stopped too soon when I headed south.
Anyone seen or talked to Allie this year? I miss her insights and hope all is well. I asked the same question @ SPZI but the usual suspects are only interested in skewering Paul and Co and have no info.
Ok Raz, thanks. Just a thought to put an end to some of this
speculation. Haven't seen Allie for a while, is she still
a Mod?
Not much any of us can do till some news comes out. Perhaps in Feb we'll get some info on 141.
Well, let me ask again. Is anyone is a position to go by the
office? My understanding was they would welcome shareholders. Anyone in Chicago near the office location?
Jack, my shares are in TDA and showing .002 however, once again, no shares traded. Silence is killing us. Has anyone gone by the Chicago office lately?
Annie
I see it as enhancing value when you reduce costs such as staff and office expenses. I also see it as enhancing when you can license the installation and servicing of your product rather than hire new employees for this purpose.
But, the bottom line is..none of us knows what is in any of these deals..YET! That information is coming to us as SPZI deems it necessary. In the meantime, what purpose does it serve to berate the progress that has been made? How does that enhance value?
Exactly BB...this is good news. A contract with Bloomberg, non-exclusive license with Kai Trade (which I'm sure we'll learn more about). Some revenue figures which are exciting given the fact that we have had little or no rev in the past. No additional dilution. Plans are coming to fruition..Now lets hear about some of the other contracts out there and let
this train get some momentum.
I expect we can see some investment $$ start to come into play since Bloomberg was announced and kudos to Paul for cost cutting in staff and offices. This increase our profit margin and reduces our burn rate. It's all good folks and don't we need a little good news in this market?
Did I miss the info that John Unwin was no longer with SPZI? I googled Kai Trade but didn't get anything. This is the first
PR that gives us some revenue figures and is in line with the rumor info. Lets hope the rest of the rumor comes to pass as it's certainly all good news. Wouldn't it be ironic if this little pinky "that could" becomes the life raft for our sinking portfolios. Amazing!
Mike, I like your Creative Thinking post. Good eye to catch the "stated" reference altho it just may be that someone else in the company took the clip from Paul and wrote it that way.
No matter, the fact remains that it looks like a very positive change of direction toward some revenues.
I,however, am of the mind that the increase in shares is simply a need for cash. We have no clue as to revenues at this point but there is rarely enough money in the bank especially for companies without a steady cash flow.
My curiosity about the deal with Bloomberg is in the form of the contract. Is this a pure licensing agreement where $X dollars are paid to Spooz for use of the Toolz and Bloomberg incorporates it into their existing base program. In other words, clients are not buying a sub to use Toolz but getting it in a basic or upgraded pkg. Also, my take is that Bloomberg will allow other fee based add ons to be purchased perhaps allowing an additional revenue source to Spooz.
Capn and Investor, thank you for your clear and informative posts. I think we all need to have a better picture of what this contract means. I don't believe we are looking @ $500 per
subs here, I think we are looking at much less BUT this is the beginning of a fruitful relationship. It's what is to come that will bring us the revenue figures we are hoping for. It's fun to have some conjecture about the millions this might bring in but I think we are a long way from that right now. I'd like to hear more about the retail release promised for this fall and where we are on uplisting.
I am absolutely thrilled with this news. What a reward for the wait. I have a feeling we will get the PR today, Yahoo has already highlited SPZI but has not entered the info. Now, next step is to get more of the particulars in the contract. I love the speculation presented in earlier posts but nothing like the facts to keep us focused. Paul and his staff are to be congratulated on making this deal. He has given us new energy and Gawd knows we needed it.
Awaiting the details...
I think the short ban only covers 799 financial companies not the entire market. Also, not sure how or why you would short a company already @ .0003-.0005. It is heartening there has been no continued dilution so the bills are getting paid with either investment money or sales income. I am getting very itchy for some news, we haven't had a peep since July I think.

Thanks CapnDon...you are always "spot on" with good info..so it looks like the $75,000 was an initial request that has now been changed to decision of the court.
I think there was someone who has been thru mediation in a lawsuit, IW perhaps. What generally is the length of time the judge requires for this purpose before removing that requirement and sending it to a jury trial? Also, seems I recall SPZI is only asking for $75,000 in damages but couldn't they also ask for renumeration for their salaries, etc?
As have I CapnDon. I'm thinking that we won't get any either
unless a MM wants to start a little run of scare tactics. In fact, for days they held the bid @ .0001 when I had my bid in
@ .0002. I am looking forward to some announcements this month or next as to contract signings that should be forthcoming. Has anyone confirmed the AS increase to 5B?
Has anyone gotten any @ .0002?...lots of sells but I'm thinking these shares are being passed from one MM to another.
Was the question asked if the select group of Chicago brokers using Spooztoolz was paying anything for that usage?
Peeved, thanks-that is a good start. Looks like it is Cook County/Chicago. SPZI is asking for a jury trial and $75,000.
So, based on legal advice to Paul, they cannot use SWARM until this matter is decided. Now we need to see what the docket date is if one has been set.
Interesting stuff from the SH mtg and many thanks to all those who attended and took their time to get us up to date.
I think next year I would like to make that trip-Chicago in
June is pretty nice.
This is like sitting and waiting for the verdict to come in..does this length of time mean good news?..or does it mean
they are enjoying the goodies @ the reception. I vote for good news, it usually takes longer to 'splain it all. We are going on 3 1/2 hrs now..
Not certain about Nuk..he gave IT Guy a question to add to his list..does that mean he's not there?..not sure. But then he said he would miss Rock not being there..LOL..whatta guy...
IW, thank you for your kind words but actually I am a victim
of my own ignorance, not a consequence of the slash and burn
tactics of the fear mongers. My thought process SHOULD have been that they were willing to concede the components to acquaint the financial world with the SPZI brand of revolutionary products available; a valuable marketing tool. At any rate, I hadn't made the components vs implementation distinction until it was pointed out to me, thus I am now
aware of the potential revenue stream available. At any rate, SPZI is not a charitable organization and I am well aware every effort is being made to bring our name to the forefront
in a positive way whenever possible. We have received terrific press as a result of the presentation.
My chin is up and looking to Lake Michigan with great
anticipation.
These folks who appear and disappear, that seemingly have a negative agenda, have no effect on me whatsoever. My only complaint is that I only have 5 ignore options available to me.
Rich, thank you for your interpretation...makes more sense to me now..I will be patient and wait for further explanation.
again, many thanks.
Annie
Well now IW...I take issue with the "braying, jackassery" characterization of my words. I did read the "no cost" statement as "giving away" something but note that I also
indicated this reasoning would be explained. As you may not know, I am a stong supporter of this stock and its management.
Perhaps your words weren't meant directly but if they were I want to issue this response.
Long and strong SPZI..
Annie
Do we know if there were any other presentations? Offered @ no cost, hard to beat that price, isn't it? Tonites meeting should clear up this reasoning.
Seems to me that info could be announced @ the shareholders meeting at the same or near time that it could be PR'd to the general public. The market is already closed, no after hours trading on pinks..so therefore, no advantage to anyone and Friday starts with everyone on equal footing. I gather by todays volume there is some interest afoot regarding the SH
meeting in anticipating some good news. Wish I could be there, but maybe next year.
Hi Lucy, heck no, I've been here for quite some time but post mainly on another board. I enjoy the info here and since there
was a request I could handle, I thought I would jump in.
It does look like a positive trend, I think Howard, et al may
finally be finding their niche.
Take care and lets enjoy the progress.
