great question... perhaps there will be versions of Xtrader that come "with Spooztoolz" ... interesting, perhaps a protective maneuver on the part of TT so their product line doesn't become irrelevant.
anyone know what RTD is referring to? I'll look into it real quick

I can confirm that this is the real deal. The product is real, professional, and it looks sophisticated just from installation itself. Spooz definitely has a product. But I think they're a bit slow with implementing it. With all the share selling that's going on right now I think the possibility of reverse split is big. And that imho is a nail biter for me.
Great endub, thanks for sharing your dd.

Q4 filing due out soon... i think we should see 80K from 141 showing up there.
You are probably referring to sales revenues... not sure how and when they will divulge that info... definitely in the quarterly reports.
not just a funny speculation, I get suspicious anytime a new poster brings up R/S as it is a classic tactic by those of whom we do not speak.
Dear Newbiez, welcome to the board. (updated)
I will try to post this daily and edit it as needed. If anyone has suggestions, please pm me if you can or post it publicly. Much of it is from memory, so any well-thought corrections are welcome.
The following is a short overview about Spooz, Inc and should be considered only as a personal opinion. I tried to be as balanced as possible in the discussion, but please note that I am a shareholder. Please do your own DD to verify all statements. They are not investment advice. I am not a financial advisor or expert. Most of this information is based on DD (due diligence) brought to this board by other members. We try to share information openly here.
About Spooz, Inc: Spooz is a software company that has designed a trading system (Spooztoolz) based in MS Excel. The company claims it represents a paradigm shift in trading and will become a universal standard for trading. You can find out all about it in the Ibox above, at http://www.spooztoolz.com (brief video demos available), and if you are persistent enough, by surfing through posts on this board.
Spooztoolz (Recent) History: The first version of Spooztoolz was released in spring of 2006. However, the launch failed. The primary reason for this failure was the inability of a partner to bring a promised component to the table. Since then, Spooz has revamped the software and now claims to have a completely operational, improved package. This upgraded system (Version 2.0) was supposed to be released in June 2007. However, a few days before the launch was promised, the company entered a quiet period. The CEO, Paul Strickland, stated that the quiet period was at the request of people wishing to inject millions into the company. Since that time, timelines for product release were modified, and limited information is available regarding the cause of the quiet period. The Spooztoolz release was promised for January ’08, and in recent PR’s the company has indicated that it is now available for professional, institutional traders in the Chicago Trading district. Two components of the Spooztoolz package, SpoozChartz and Fractalz, are available for retail customers via the website. Spooz management has indicated that they are working with several large brokerage clients, but details are not yet available. In my opinion, the launch has begun, and exciting months are ahead.
Share structure: The latest o/s (# of issued outstanding shares) reported on this board was 1,588,619,587 (Thanks Martingale!), see post 43797 (Feb 6, 2008). The o/s on Jun 30, 2007 was 1,465,630,979. The dilution of shares (increase in o/s) is mostly recent. Please see post 42261 (Thanks Birdito!) for a summary of the company’s explanation. The total a/s (# of shares including those not yet issued) was reported to be 2.0 billion.
Revenues: The company has communicated that revenues from Spooztoolz-related activities will begin this quarter and that profitability could be achieved by mid-year with the business plan at that time (November 2007, ValueRich Expo presentation). Moderator Alliecorp confirmed these reports recently by phone (see post 43462). A recent PR (Feb 7, 2008) confirmed that software-associated revenues were beginning. Revenues associated with 141 Capital, a spinoff company that will utilize Spooztoolz-based systems to trade (more info below), were supposed to begin in Q4 2007, though reports confirming this are not yet available. A PR was issued stating that the 141 Capital shares were issued to Spooz. Chatter on the board suggests $80K was provided in Q4 and that the new agreement with 141 is $25K/week, which would provide the total $1.5 mil promised in 57 weeks from the time of that agreement.
141 Capital: 141 Capital (http://www.141capital.com) is a spin-off from Spooz, of which Spooz owns 120 million shares. However, the 141 Capital (symbol XXIS) share structure is not yet available. 141 Capital will utilize SWARM, a proprietary trading system developed in Spooztoolz, and other algo-trading strategies to profit. It will initially trade from its own accounts. If it establishes an attractive record, it will then consider trading other people’s money for additional profit.
Notable, recent DD from the Ihub community (in my opinion):
Positive:
New staff: A recent PR summarized the hiring of new staff to facilitate the transition from product development to product sales.
The Fedfundz story: An ihub member with alias fedfunz, reported to have viewed live demos of the software and to have been blown away by the product. Indicating he was a professional trader with 20 yrs experience, he also brought trading colleagues to see the demos with the same result. See posts in Ibox. Months later, Fedfunz reported to be interacting more with the company and just recently, reported that he is now employed by Spooz. His identity has been revealed via DD on this board. Jim Hensel (http://www.linkedin.com/in/jameshensel). A recent PR from the company confirmed his hiring. This man has an accomplished record in the financial industry, and thus, I interpret his venture onto the Spooz team as a huge sign of the potential of this company.
FIA Expo Presentation: In November, John Unwin of Spooz was featured on a panel of experts on algorithmic trading at the annual FIA expo. The talk is linked in the ibox above and highlights many of the advantages of Spooztoolz. It was personally surprising that Spooz was invited to be on this panel without publicly available software, and even more surprising that Spooz did not PR this major event.
141 Capital: DD available on the 141 Capital (XXIS) ihub board details the progress of 141 Capital in terms of their registration with appropriate authorities to engage in the business of trading. Please consult that board for more info. Many updates are needed from the company, but the ball is clearly rolling.
Negative:
High Volume of Shares hitting Market: As stated above, the company is issuing more shares. There have also been many shares hitting the market at bargain prices. Alliecorp contacted the Spooz treasurer who indicated that there are some issues with past financiers at play, perhaps restricted shares coming onto market. Some dilution for providing cash directly to the company has been acknowledged, but the company has stated that the primary purpose for recent increases in the O/S is related to hiring.
Communication: The Spooz management has not always been perceived to communicate clearly to the shareholders. Part of this perception may be due to a dynamic business plan that is likely being adapted to maximize market share and account for other developments (good or bad). Mystery surrounding the company activity regarding the quiet period and any big clients they may be working with has drawn considerable criticism from some of the Ihub community. All shareholders are anxiously awaiting clarification on these issues.
Again, the statements above reflect my opinions and my perception of important factors relating to Spooz Inc. There is a lot more info out there, but I hope this will get you started.

Thanks Imperial.
You're response is what I was hoping to hear... that it is a rare and technically complex issue. If the Spooz staff is working on these types of challenges, it says to me that they are really far along in the product refinement. IMO, just more validation that things are rolling along.
Take care,

Hi Imperial,
Can you translate this discussion for me/us? I think you might find it interesting... I have no idea what they're talking about... looks like something to do with the Install Shield and the Toolkit, but way over my head.

good sign indeed, thanks Allie.
I was more curious about the $1mil number.
Also, it seems your analysis does not account for the middleman.
What's your estimate based on?
from MTR... looks like it is up to 141 to post the info on pinksheets... I'll email Errol.

Martingale,
I think this discussion was in the context of the forseeable future at that time. Plans change. Maybe for good (more market), maybe for bad (delays).
I'm still planning to get in touch with Omniquant and with Spooz to discuss Omniquant. I'll be sure to let everyone know what I find.
Gbathat
This post also raised my eyebrows...
What is contained in a DD? is there a minimum trading period/time required? A minimum amount of money required?
Answers to these questions could give us some insights on the progress, assuming the post by Echo and associated statements by Darryl are still accurate.
Thanks for bringing this post back to discussion.
gbathat
Great post.
Nice example of Spooz customer service/support:
http://support.spooztoolz.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=34
and remember, the more money 141 starts with, the more they potentially make. To me, that is the critical part. If the company is starting w/ $3 mil (potentially), and we demand 1.5 mil almost upfront, then they probably only have $1 mil left to trade (after other startup expenses), maybe less. By spreading out their payment, the potential returns are magnified significantly.
Time will tell I guess:D
Have a good day all.
gbathat
Agreed Birds... it's a whole new way for brokers to profit and attract customers. And the key is the speed of deployment, allowing the sale of temporary strategies. Sounds like a good product- one that has to be replaced frequently and is made in-house.
Thanks IW, I think I'm starting to understand the logic now... takes a while for a novice like myself, especially with all those big vocab words you guys use:D

I retract the statements in this post (linked above). I was possibly mistaken and will wait to make any more assumptions.
Thanks IW BB and Allie for the info.
BB,
Easy there man. I don't think the pps is worrying myself or Birdito. I think our concern is the volume, and thanks for explaining (or re-explaining) your thoughts on the issue.
Take care,
Gbathat
Would those shares show up as inside trades then or not?
Thanks,
Gbathat
IW, so you're saying the shares we're seeing now are not dilution but rather restricted shares unleashed early?
Thanks,
Gbathat
Perhaps it has to do with google search strategy... the more sites linked to you, the higher your google ranking, right?
Company issues big chunk of shares to financier at discount price (maybe .001 or so) to raise money for current operations (salaries, auditing, etc). Financier sells shares onto market for quick, certain profit.
That's my opinion. A few may be jumping on board, selling in hopes of buying in lower, or selling and running away angry, but I think its mostly dilution.
This was the state of things last spring. Luckily, I arrived towards the end of the dilution phase, got in pretty cheap and have held since.
Personally, I think it is a disservice to the long term shareholders. For instance, if you had 1.5 million shares before this dilution started, you essentially owned 1/1000th of the o/s. To maintain that fraction of ownership, you might have to by 500,000 more shares (if the o/s went to 2 billion). I think a lot of us loaded up on shares anticipating major revenues commencing soon and have been disappointed by the slower than expected progress over the last year.
If revenues are commencing and rate of growth will be high, then why not take out a 1-yr loan from somebody and pay them back double. With dilution, the company is decreasing our ownership by possibly up to 25%, but the profits to the company are really low. For instance, 100 million shares sold at 0.001 only gives $100,000. Maybe the tough market these days makes loans hard to come by, but I just wish there was a better answer than dilution.
But, that is life. Plans don't always go smoothly. If the company is successful in the end, we will be too.

Share structure: The latest o/s (# of issued outstanding shares) reported on this board was 1,588,619,587 (Thanks Martingale!), see post 43797 (Feb 6, 2008). The o/s on Jun 30, 2007 was 1,465,630,979. The dilution of shares (increase in o/s) is mostly recent. Please see post 42261 (Thanks Birdito!) for a summary of the company’s explanation. The total a/s (# of shares including those not yet issued) was reported to be 2.0 billion. In my opinion, dilution makes short-term investing in SPZI potentially more risky than if no dilution was occurring. However, the right news from the company could also drive demand up to overcome this.
Revenues: The company has communicated that revenues from Spooztoolz-related activities will begin this quarter and that profitability could be achieved by mid-year with the business plan at that time (November 2007, ValueRich Expo presentation).

Please consult that board for more info. Many updates are needed from the company, but the ball is clearly rolling.
Negative:
Dilution: As stated above, the company is issuing more shares and apparently putting some of them into market. The extent of this should decrease as revenues begin. This activity puts burden on the shareholders by driving down the pps or stifling pps increases and also results in a loss of fractional ownership of the company by the shareholder. The company management has suggested in past communications that this loss in fractional ownership is countered by the added benefits associated with the funds raised. However, the critical question becomes, “Are these benefits truly additional, i.e., above and beyond what was promised before?” It is hard to assess this question without more information on the current state of affairs. Please contact the company if you are concerned about this issue. The A/S before dilution began was ~1.5 billion and is now 2.0 billion, which should be the maximum o/s for the foreseeable future. The shares issued are reported to be primarily for employee compensation and restricted, but some appear to be hitting the market as well as the volume of trading has spiked while the pps is fairly stable. This dilution is a recent event. The company did not engage in dilution for the greater part of 2007.
The dilution can also be a potentially positive aspect for a new, long-term investor, since it temporarily floods the market with shares, usually making them more affordable. For people who already bought their full position in Spooz, especially for those that paid a higher price per share than that currently, dilution is a real pain to endure. However, if the company is successful, the long term investor will be rewarded for enduring such pains despite not getting in at the optimal level.
Communication: The Spooz management has not always been perceived to communicate clearly to the shareholders. Part of this perception may be due to a dynamic business plan that is likely being adapted to maximize market share and account for other developments (good or bad). Mystery surrounding the company activity regarding the quiet period and any big clients they may be working with has drawn considerable criticism from some of the Ihub community.

Paradigm Shift (what John Unwin was highlighting at the FIA expo)
http://www.spooz.net/PARADIGM%20SHIFT.htm
Conceive it ~ Trade it
Creating an edge is only as good as its window of opportunity. Whether that window is an anomaly or new reality in the market, the trader’s edge is greatest when they are able to execute a strategy before the market reacts in full.
Traditionally, converting trading concepts into executable actions in an online environment required strong technical and mathematical skills or a programmer. Therein lays every trader’s challenge. For some traders it can take as long as 6 weeks to bridge the gap between concept and execution.
At Spooz, we believe this gap between concept and execution should not require programmers or days and possibly weeks to bridge. A trader should be able to create an edge before his or her morning coffee cools.
Microsoft Excel® and Spreadsheets
Anyone who has tried to use Excel, or any other spreadsheet, to process large amounts of data or even execute trades knows it does not take much data flow or many calculations for the program to grind to a halt. Therefore, no one in his or her right mind would use Excel to trade.
However, because so many traders use Excel to build trading systems and strategies, connecting Excel to the trading function would allow traders the ability to create more edge in the market.
To address this issue, Spooz, Inc. built and incorporated a core engine into SpoozToolz™ PRO. With this core engine, traders can use Excel to build trading systems and strategies while SpoozToolz™ PRO processes over 10,000,000 calculations per second.
For those traders who are comfortable with Excel®, using the formulas function to create algorithms is easy. However, for those traders who are not as comfortable with Excel, SpoozToolz™ PRO has strategy wizards and templates to achieve the same impact in building trading systems and strategies.
Wizards, Templates, and the Dashboard
SpoozToolz™ PRO provides a highly intuitive dashboard for traders to launch and manage all of their strategies. In addition, via the dashboard all strategies are converted into C#, any number of strategies can be launched and managed simultaneously, and the dashboard is fully customizable.
When a trader launches a strategy through the dashboard, the strategy is automatically converted to C# in the core engine. This feature of the dashboard allows any trader to convert their strategies (algorithms) to C# without any technical knowledge or skills.
For SpoozToolz™ PRO, there is no limit to the number of strategies that can be run simultaneously and managed automatically – None!
SpoozToolz™ PRO’s dashboard operates on single or multiple screen setups. Furthermore, unlike other trading platforms, SpoozToolz™ PRO can be customized to meet the specific trading needs and style of any trader, not just fonts and colors, but every aspect of the screen or screens.
Value Proposition
Whether you are an individual trader who has hired a programmer, a prop shop with more IT staff than traders, or a global brokerage firm, SpoozToolz™ PRO alleviates the additional costs involved in developing and deploying algorithms, custom synthetics, and trading systems/.strategies.
As a direct result, less time is spent converting trading concepts into executable systems and strategies creating more productivity.

It was stated no more dilution in the foreseeable future. They held good for a long time, and obviously, the foreseeable future passed. I am still confident in the product. I just hope the business plan continues to progress.
Paul admitted at the expo that they would be needing money in the future (I think he had said March at that time) to help with the launch. I was hoping for a different kind of funding, but the economy is tough these days.
I still see a bright future here.

I would prefer to have shares in stable hands at the time of PRs, but I don't think dilution helps in that regard. It provides a window for flippers.
I don't think the dilution will bring the pps below .003, as it would be a bit of a slap in the face to long term shareholders, imo. Longs had an opportunity to get in at lower prices. If they dilute such that the pps hits those prices, that would be a double negative for longs (1-the inflation effect and 2-the fact that newbs can get in at as good or better prices). Just wouldn't be right, imo, so I hope it doesn't happen.

you're probably right. i see nothing on efgo (not sure why that one is even on my watch list), but most of my other stuff is trading. The L2 for spzi looks pretty normal, so perhaps something is going on with the data rather than the market. thanks.
nope just google and some search methods aimed at filtering out all the PRs and a bit of patience:D
