Problem with all those claims are that in the marketplace SPZI is non existent. You have to ask yourself, if SPZI is that great (as great as they claim) why isn't someone using it?????????????????????????????
Peeved, you think Paul is going to communicate with us that we are all screwed!
I will ask this question again... who has last spoken with Paul?
I believe I already did put some money on that and lost it!
Wishfull thinking which has led to many disappointments. At this point it's more likely that there is no deal or it has fallen apart.
Hey Rock, don't forget that their office space has been abandoned and the phone line disconnected.
... or he has skipped town and abandoned his office, phone and email.
... and if you don't like word SCAM, then call it a failure. Either way, we the investors are just as broke.
It is pretty funny (and sad) that you can really say only 1 (maybe 2) copies of SZPIChart was sold in a market where Paul said he could personally sell thousands. And the kicker is we know the poor soul who bought it!!!!
OMG, does the pinks get any worse than this! SPZI should be the poster child of a classic pinky scam.
It's taken until now for things to come together? Huh? You think things are together?!?! Things have never been in more disarray. Have you been in contact with Paul or has he left the country with everyone's money?
I understand it's hard to be invested in a startup. It's another thing to be invested in a scam.
Yeah Allie I believe you said revenue for the new year would be good in 2008, 2007 and I believe 2006. 2009 must be the year.
If it is life, then it is in critical condition on life support with one foot in the grave. It's not the way life is supposed to be lived!
Ok, let's recap what we got. I saw before that Spooz has physically moved out of their office location at 29 S. LaSalle St. Suite 1250 Chicago, IL 60603 and moved in with XXIS. I believe someone went by the old office to confirm that it is empty. I know the phone # on the web site has been disconnected. I just sent an email to see if someone responds but I won't hold my breath. Has anyone had contact with Paul in the last month or so? Also, does Jim Hensen still work there?
No news, no financials, no deal announced and no price movement. No wonder board has been silent. There's nothing left to discuss.
Yeah, a whole $870 dollars changed hands so far. Alert the press!!!!!!! Deal must be RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. Not!
That is really not good. Can anyone confirm if Jim Hensel is still with SPZI or Kiatrade?

Wow, for two companies ready to break out you would think some activity would be expected.
Klonopin, don't worry, they will break you over time.
Gmenfan, I would categorize a stock price of .0002 as cashed and burned. There's not much wait and see about it. If Bloomberg deal was happening or due to happen, then we wouldn't be parked here. The stock is at this price for a good reason, not some mysterious manipulation.
Why don't all you "Yes" voters put your money where you mouth is and start buying so I can get out.
No, but selling at this price is pointless.
Pump, it has always been a stupid name. And spooz is worse than google. I should have avoided it based solely on the name. I would be much richer now if I did :)
Who here has had recent communications with Paul?
Hey, I found an old post of Paul's...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have recently returned from a very successful trip and I can report to you that we are working harder at Spooz than at anytime in our history. We are preparing for our expected launch in January 2008 and are on schedule. Things look great and although I can not reveal who our distribution partners are at this stage we will deliver product to at least 3 large brokers in January.
Look for news soon on the 141 Capital front as it is rapidly nearing completion.
Have a great weekend.
Best Regards,
db_de_luxe, why would you say that???? Just because nothing they have said in the past has panned out doesn't mean this won't ;)
Compare this press release with the one released 18 months ago. Sigh. From making millions to moving in with your sister cause you can't afford the rent. Yeah, that's real progress alright!!!
Friday October 10, 6:00 am ET
CHICAGO, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spooz, Inc., (Pink Sheets: SPZI - News) announced today that in order to meet today's economic conditions it had moved its offices and restructured its business to reduce costs. Paul Strickland, Chief Executive Officer, announced that the Company had combined quarters with 141 Capital in at 29 South LaSalle Street Suite 333. The company has also reduced its staff and has transferred its telephone and other services. He also announced that the Company has licensed the distribution and support for SpoozToolz to KaiTrade LLC on a non-exclusive basis, revenue sharing basis. That company is run by John Unwin, former Chief Technology Officer of Spooz. Under the agreement, Spooz will retain all of the product and intellectual property rights. Mr. Strickland added, "By taking these steps, Spooz is endeavoring to meet today's challenges and enhance stockholder value."
John Unwin commented, "This is an exciting partnership that combines the strengths of KaiTrade and Spooz and presenting new opportunities for significant revenue and value growth." KaiTrade's first priority will be to install SpoozToolz at Spooz's first major customer.
Within one year that customer could generate sales of up to 1,200 installations of SpoozToolz at a contracted price of $ 400 per month per installation.
Spooz Projects Large Revenues and Earnings
- 3/20/2007
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Spooz, Inc. (OTC:SPZI) announced that its financial projections demonstrate the company will enjoy sizeable leaps in revenues and earnings over the next three years. According to its most recent economic forecast, Spooz expects its total income in 2007 to be $3,271,253, increasing to $29,474,886 in 2008 and spiraling to $102,328,865 for calendar 2009. Projected revenues are derived from three primary sources: SpoozToolz subscriptions for the Basic product and its attending modules, templates and trading systems; repackaged market data feed products; and proprietary trading. The projections have been published in a revised business plan that includes in-depth background information on the company, its structure and management team, descriptions of its products and services, operational plans for its profit centers, as well as management's certified financial statements.
Yeah, let's blame the share price on naked shorting and not on the fact the company has failed to deliver anything in 3 years... That's intelligent.
Well, I don't honestly know, but even if it does exist, I don't think anything will come of it. Past history and a gut feeling tells me there will be some sort of excuse as to why it didn't happen or why it's taking longer or why no one in Bloomberg bought it, etc. There's always a million excuses, but never any results.
You watch. 60 days will be 90 days. 90 days with be 6 months. 6 months will be a year and so on and so and so on.....
Traderfan, unfortunately going there will confirm what I already know. I have no intention in buying more so I will save my time and gas money.
Oh, Rock, that is the other thing. Apparently the original office is gone and they moved in with XXIS. I haven't personally verified this (I did go to the original office). I think they also laid off some employees???
Ok, Rock, to sum up, they released a deal with Bloomberg for them to use spooztool in 60 days. Problem is you won't find it on Spzi website anymore because too many people were calling Blooberg and asking about it. When you actually tell this story it does sound a bit made up :)
Also, Spzi said no retail launch for now (which is what I said back in Jan)
So there ya go, we are waiting. Waiting for earnings release and yet another promised deal. So basically, you haven't missed much. Just more waiting and waiting and waiting.
That's right, I hate them now. It's taken a while, but my eyes have finally been opened and I now see that the Pinks exists only to sell the suckers snake oil.
That's why I now know I am on the wrong side of the business. Do you want to be a buyer of the snake oil or a seller???? I would rather be the seller.
... and I am not saying the Paul came here with the intention of selling a complete phony product. Maybe he really believed that his creation could sell. What I am saying is that once your here, you never really have to make it work. Paul can earn a very nice salary keeping the myth alive and dragging the release of SPZI apparently forever.
Birdito, if you want to keep it fair then you have to remember a deal with TT and Ameritrade and a JV that didn't happen. When we play fair doesn't three strikes mean your out!!!!
How many more deals have to be announced before someone catches on?
Think about it. It' the perfect white collar crime. You can't short the pinky stock, so you can't have anyone better against you. You just have to keep announcing promising aspects that draw in investors. You never have to produce anything! Spooz is a perfect example of this. Everyone keeps buying their diluted stock, yet they have never produced a product or turned a profit. An yet, Paul has a nice salary for doing nothing.
Pinks are usually so low under the radar that they don't draw attention and even if the SEC got off the butts and did something, they are still on of the most mismanaged entities of the government.
Perfect business.
Gmenfan, the only reason to hold is because it's pointless to sell at this level. Come on man, figure it out.
Your crazy man!
YOU BETTER MAKE THAT A FEW YEARS!
"I thought you have enough already..... "
i do...
only a test to see how quickly they would fill
or not..
i'll rest with what i own....
not expecting any movement either direction in the next few weeks......
enjoy the day!
klon'
I think many things have had legitimate hope here over the years, but somehow SPZI has always failed to deliver. I am guessing that this time it's no different. Remember back to the TT deal and people also called to find out it was real. What every happened to that....
Rock gave up because it is hopeless. Apparently others (including me) should do the same.
"perhaps it wont be "retail", but if bloomberg launches a spooztoolz product in 2008, i think you lose "
Please reread what you posted and stress the "IF".
I hate to say I told you so, but here it is. In post #47375 in April, I said there would be no retail launch in 2008. Looks like the FUD guy is RIGHT ON THE MONEY! Take that to the bank.
A realistic view of where things are. Let's face it, things have not gone well. If things had gone to plan (and the original promises) we would be generating revenue and seeing some return on this investment. I was once hopeful and fell for the sales pitch that Paul could sell 2,000 seats of this thing on his own. Bottom line is that things look pretty bleak. I understand how some might still be hopeful, but I can't understand how anyone is complacent and thinks that this has been a good investment.
