Copyright Business Wire 2006
ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Silver Screen Studios, Inc. (OTCBB: SSSU), http://finance.yahoo.com/q?d=v1&s=sssu.ob implements Shareholders Integrity Plan to address share imbalance, updates facts regarding trading in the company shares by TD Ameritrade and moves ahead with first acquisition and Reg. E Funds.
TD Ameritrade Facts:
According to the NOBO list SSSU has 770 account holders at TD Ameritrade who have been prevented buying shares in the company. We are in the process of determining the number of shares contained in those accounts.
Facts:
1. The purchase restriction was placed on the company's shares by TD Ameritrade after we announced we were requesting a NOBO list and suspected failure to deliver positions in our shares.
2. On July 14, 2006 a day in which we traded 122 million shares, TD Ameritrade would not allow trading on their platform for 2 hours.
3. A new Market Maker SBSH has recently entered trading in our shares since we requested the NOBO list. According to www.OTCBB.com SBSH is Citigroup Global Markets, a joint venture partner with the DTCC, http://www.dtcc.com/PressRoom/2006/managed_accounts.html, http://www.dtcc.com/Publications/dtcc/sept06/dtcc_partners_with _citigroup.html. (Due to its length, this URL may need to be copied/pasted into your Internet browser's address field. Remove the extra space if one exists.)
SSSU Strategy Concerning Counterfeit Shares:
The company is discussing its strategy with legal counsel, investment banking counsel and will have a plan in effect to address counterfeit shares, failure to delivery positions, and any short selling of its shares later this week.
Phase I of the Shareholders Integrity Plan.
The SIP's implementation is proceeding ahead with a planned acquisition of a real estate franchising company for distressed assets as well as a commercial mortgage company for financing of the assets.
Reg. E Funding of Acquisition.
Our first Reg. E Fund will make the initial investment in the franchising and mortgage company. We are negotiating terms for initial investments in the fund.
We plan to have definitive contracts in place this week for the closing of the acquisitions and the planned spin out of shares to our shareholders.
Implementation of Acquisition and SIP:
The management of SSSU has accessed a shareholders list as of 10-11-2006. This list was compared to the NOBO list as of 10-11-2006. The shares in excess of the official total as compiled by the transfer agent will be deemed "counterfeit shares," see http://www.bdcjournal.com/currentissue.pdf, and pages 10-12 on the issue of counterfeit shares.
Counterfeit Shares:
Any position deemed counterfeit will be deemed to be short a failure to deliver share; each failure to deliver share outstanding of SSSU shall be deemed liable as follows:
Counterfeit Shares Liability:
Each counterfeit share shall be liable to SSSU as follows:
(i) $1.00 per share in cash; plus
(ii) The 52 week high of $.052 multiplied by 7.77 multiplied by the number of days the failure to deliver position has been open.
(iii) There are currently 102,767,486 shares unaccounted for.
Shareholder Benefits and Dividend Distribution:
We have developed the dividend program with one of the Reg. E. Funds. Each Reg. E fund can raise up to $5.0 million per year exempt from registration. We are working out the details of a dividend valued in the range of $0.05-$0.12 per share.
Summary:
The SIP will have no effect on our current shareholders. The SIP will affect the imbalance in shares that have failed to be delivered and remain open. We are proceeding with actions deemed necessary to protect the shareholder base and structure our company for growth.
About Global 1 Investment Corporation:
The family of funds we construct will have equity, fixed income, real estate securities, mortgages, affordable housing and commercial assets as investment opportunities for different classes of investors.

Short Sellers Target Small-Company Shares as U.S. Growth Slows
By Michael Patterson
April 12 (Bloomberg) -- Short sellers are increasingly betting against shares of America's smallest companies, and some of the biggest U.S. investors are equally pessimistic.
Short positions in companies in the Russell 2000 Index, which have a median market value of $669 million, jumped last month to the highest since at least September 2003, according to Citigroup Inc. Short sellers, who bet on stock declines, are targeting so-called small-cap companies after they outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index for the eighth straight year.
Bank of America Capital Management, JPMorgan Private Bank and LPL Financial Services, which manage about $1 trillion, are bearish on smaller companies too. They say large-company stocks are cheap relative to earnings and will outperform small caps this year as the U.S. economy slows. Decelerating growth at home favors bigger companies, which get more of their revenue from abroad, the investors say.
``The greater the growth scare here in the United States, the more pressure on small caps,'' said Joseph Quinlan, who helps oversee $540 billion as Bank of America's chief market strategist in New York. ``You want to be in large-cap stocks.''
The percentage of shares sold short in the Russell 2000, a small-cap benchmark, was more than five times greater than in the S&P 500, consisting of companies with a median value of $13.6 billion, according to Citigroup. Short sellers borrow shares from stockholders and sell them, hoping to repurchase them at a lower price later to return to the holder.
Shorts' Targets
Their biggest targets among small caps as of mid-March included Accredited Home Lenders Holding Co., a mortgage lender, and Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., a video-game maker, according to monthly data from stock exchanges.
The Russell 2000 has outperformed the S&P 500 every year since 1998. Since the current bull market began in October 2002, the small-company index has climbed 147 percent, almost double the S&P 500's 85 percent gain. This year, the Russell 2000 has gained 2.6 percent, while the S&P 500 has advanced 1.5 percent.
Companies in the Russell 2000 sell on average for about 40.1 times earnings for the past year. S&P 500 members are valued at about 17.2 times. The gap between those two price- earnings ratios is the widest since May.
``It's not a surprise to me that some smart guys on the other side may be selling or shorting some of these stocks with the anticipation that they'll come back to a more reasonable price level,'' said Mark Keeley, who helps manage the $4.2 billion Keeley Small Cap Value Fund, which has beaten 98 percent of its peers in the past five years. ``That's not a bad bet.''
Thiel's Bet
About 9.6 percent of the shares available for trading in the Russell 2000 were sold short in March, according to data compiled by Nicholas Gulden, head of U.S. portfolio trading strategies at Citigroup. That compares with a 1.9 percent short interest in members of the S&P 500.
Peter Thiel, chief executive officer of Clarium Capital Management in San Francisco, is among the hedge fund managers who are betting the S&P 500 will outpace the Russell 2000.
``The way to trade equities at this point in the U.S. is short the Russell and go long the S&P,'' said Thiel, who manages about $2.1 billion. ``The S&P 500 is more multinational, and to the extent that we have a slowdown in the U.S. but not globally, it's probably going to do better than the smaller-cap stocks.''
The U.S. economy probably grew at an annual pace of 2 percent last quarter, according to a Bloomberg News survey of economists, down from a 2.5 percent rate in the fourth quarter.
Weathering a Slowdown
Government and private reports over the past two weeks showed consumer confidence fell for a second straight month, while manufacturing growth slowed more than forecast.
Jack Caffrey, an equity strategist at JPMorgan Private Bank in New York, says large companies may weather a slowdown better because they tend to sell more goods and services overseas.
Sales in the U.S. accounted for about 84 percent of the revenue reported by companies in the Russell 2000 last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Members of the S&P 500 relied on the U.S. for 73 percent of sales.
Economies elsewhere are growing faster than the U.S. Mexico probably expanded at a 3.7 percent pace in the first quarter, according to economists in a Bloomberg survey. China, the world's fastest-growing major economy, probably grew at a 10.2 percent rate, according to an estimate from the country's central bank.
``Multinationals -- generally the larger companies -- are better positioned to capture that growth,'' said Caffrey.
Growing Employment
Still, the economy may surprise investors with its strength. Hiring in the U.S. last month rose more than forecast, and the unemployment rate unexpectedly fell, indicating slumps in housing and manufacturing may be having limited impact.
And small caps may get a boost from mergers and acquisitions. About $635.9 billion in takeovers involving U.S. companies have been announced this year, 38 percent more than during the same period last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
``The key positive for small-caps right now is all the M&A activity, whether it's from private equity money that needs to be invested or big corporations that have amassed a lot of cash,'' said Dwight Cowden, who manages the $660 million Mellon Small Cap Stock Fund in Pittsburgh. He said three companies in his fund received merger offers in the past four weeks.
The potential for buyouts may already be reflected in the share prices of many small-cap stocks, said Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL Financial in Boston. At the same time, more large companies may get takeover offers as private equity funds collaborate on deals.
`Overvalued Market'
Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at Harris Private Bank, bought securities that increase in value if the S&P 100 index of the largest U.S. companies rises more than the Russell 2000. He expects the bet to pay off over the next two years.
``This is an overvalued market that can't sustain itself,'' said Ablin, who oversees $50 billion at Harris in Chicago. ``The only piece of the puzzle we're missing here is a little momentum. All the other pieces are in place for small cap to underperform.''

CMKX: The Train of Truth
By Mark Faulk
April 10, 2007
As is the norm in the alternate universe of CMKX, even when
there is very real information about very real events available to discuss,
speculation is often the order of the day. Bill Frizzell has named David
DeSormeau and John Edwards in his first lawsuitSwhy didn¹t he name this
corporation or that individual as well? Why is he letting this person off
the hook, or giving a pass to that company?
Pay attention here, because this is the last time I¹m saying
this (anyone believe that?). This is only the beginning!!! Over the next few
weeks, I expect that Frizzell will throw that big net I¹ve been talking
about for the past 6 months over a LOT of individuals and various other
entities as well. I don¹t know who is on his hit listSand I haven¹t asked. I
work for TogiEntertainment, which is a subsidiary of The Owners Group, Inc.
so yes, I do have more opportunity to talk to Bill Frizzell, both to ask him
the occasional question about information that is going into The Naked
Truth: Counterfeiting the American Dream (which I have been working on every
day over the past couple of weeks, and am finally getting excited about the
direction it¹s going), and to ask him about what I can share about his and
Kevin West¹s progress with CMKX. I can say this with absolute confidence: by
the time Frizzell is finished, everyone who deserves to have the
³opportunity² to answer for their actions in a court of law will do just
that.
Notice I said Bill AND Kevin. Kevin West has been an integral
part of what has transpired, and will continue to be an important part of
what is yet to happen. He spent months gathering facts, and with the help of
those he truly trusts, deciding what the best course of action to help the
shareholders would be. We are now seeing the fruits of his and Bill¹s
efforts, or as least the seedlings that will eventually bear fruit.
Not happy with who is or isn¹t on Bill¹s hit list? Wait around a
while. Wondering if he and Kevin really have the shareholders best interests
at heart? Be patient, the truth will shine through? Wondering if Frizzell
can represent the shareholders while filing lawsuits in the name of the
company? Guess what folks? As of last week, this company IS the
shareholders.
On the flipside, are you someone who breathed a sigh of relief
when YOUR name wasn¹t on the first volleys fired in the latest battle of
this war? Enjoy the fresh air, because it won¹t last. I¹ve said it on my
radio show, and I¹ll say it again: Bill Frizzell is coming for you, and I
would suggest that you (and you all know who you are) might want to simply
surrender now, tell him everything, and pray that that is enough to save
your own skin.
For the bad guys in this saga, your day of reckoning is near.
I¹ve said before that the wheels of justice sometimes turn excruciatingly
slow, but they do turn. And even in slow motion, being run over by the Train
of Truth is a painful retribution for your sins. I hope you lived like a
king on the spoils of your crimes, because your future looks very bleak.
And that¹s the Faulking Truth.
http://www.faulkingtruth.com/Articles/BlogFest/1087.html
OT: IMUS , After all these years ,He finally said something that crack me up. and POW !!! he's tos'd !!
Typically !!! Im new to this board, show me one of my post where iv'e said what you claim i say !!!
If so then if he's proven for wrong doing i hope he hangs also
READ SLOWER, YOUR TO QUICK TO BASH SOMEONE !!!. Yes now we know from Frizzell letter, If you follow the thread it was sarastic !! Meaning you act like you knew it all alone !!! GET IT NOW ????
Im not saying RG is a good guy, Im asking when you came to that thought about RG
And what was your fact on RG?? or are you like the Monday QB
lol now your down to bashing Mahue ??? lololololol
there maybe alot of "DOTS" in his interview $$$$$$
