YW. One MAJOR thing to keep in mind here guys... Today's news should only be the start of a VERY NICE RUN imo.
The PR was AWESOME NEWS, but regardless of how high this goes today, it will be a considerably smaller run today than the day that the CSD is announced via PR.
I still believe we reach .02-.05 on that PR, which, I am guessing we see right before or right after the June 13th event...
GOOOO ARTI!
Chris
Thank you... figured this company deserved a couple hours worth of refreshing here!

Thank you... should be a fun program for all who follow. The goal is something all of us want (or so I'd hope) a million bucks...
The theory is simple, a 15% gain per week...
And alas, in just short of a year, 1 million... I'm extremely excited about the program and to be working alongside so many great and intelligent people. The team approach to DD and stock selection via voting should really take emotion out of the equation and solidify our moves.
Feel free to start posting potential plays, in just under a week, the program will go "live" with the initial list of stocks we'll be looking at...
Happy Trading!

I too have had numerous discussions with Mr. Vasker through email. I also feel confident in the company...
As for dropping from .02 to these levels, you CANNOT just say that because of the decrease the company is dumping shares...
Before this stock ran to .02 it was sitting at .0019 - Following your logic, since the PPS can ONLY drop due to dillution, then a buyback HAD to take place.
That was not the case causing the run, nor is dillution the case for causing the pullback.
The TA was gagged because they were being inundated with phone calls and emails on an hourly basis, EVERY day.
Mr. Vasker and his management team decided to gag the TA and let the work speak for itself. Being an armchair quarterback is so easy. What this team is trying to accomplish is not.
You will see this stock balloon again, and soon. When the CSD deal is announced, it officially brings more than $3.3 MILLION dollars PER YEAR in revenue to ARTI. Do the math and you can figure that the current PPS is a joke and will spike.
One last point, the CSD acquisition is now common knowledge. There is nothing Mr. Vasker has to fear in talking about something that is, common knowledge, as this is NOT insider info.
A copy of Mr. Vasker's email that he sent me over the weekend is copied/pasted below. Pretty clear on why the TA is gagged...
"Chris, I cannot control what the investors will do. They are entitled to taking profits, or if they are scared, sell and move on to other deals. Our management and Island stock transfer are inundated with calls, emails and inquiries.
For example, early on we got calls because our shares were hard to get. Then we got calls because people wanted to voice their opinion over every detail and management decision. I've been called every name in the book, as well as slandered by some traders.
So, the management CHOSE to keep a low profile and let our Pr, attorneys and accountants keep things in check. I'm sure that for some it's easy to second guess us. But to us, this is a project that I've been driving and funding for over 8 years, so I have plenty of patience.
In fact, in my opinion, we are just now starting to trade. So, I will continue to focus on our core business and increase revenue and profit. The future will show that we have a very unique plan and the management has a true proven track record for this business. Thank you again for the support."
MDM Program Update:

ARTFEST INTERNATIONAL UNVEILS WEBSITE REDESIGN! - 06/04/2009
http://www.artfestinternational.com/
Take a look folks, the entire site has been redesigned. Very Very attractive now - this looks like a company now positioning themselves to significantly increase the scope of their business...
Edward to me this in his last email...
"Thank you, we are about to announce a few new updates. I do appreciate your support, and on a personal level, I really DO Know that you WILL NOT be disappointed."
Looks like things are moving along quite nicely behind the scenes... The CSD deal should be closed and PR'd any day now, we should receive an update via PR on the success of the covention ARTI attended (which ends today) as early as tomorrow or next week, and now we're seeing rumors about a possible deal with HGTV? This looks VERY good to me now!

Dear Friends and Shareholders,
Artfest is quickly becoming a substantial art, memorabilia and collectables company.
Today’s technology and economic climate has created a great opportunity for Artfest to achieve its Global objective: To change the way people buy and collect art and memorabilia.” This objective will be achieved through a host of strategic acquisitions, as well as proprietary technology development.
I am frequently being asked as to what kind of a company Artfest is. The answer may surprise many: We are a technology and media company. Our product is really intellectual property that encompasses our software, artists’ Contracts, athletes’ and professional sports teams’ licensing rights. Our technology is the core of our product management, authentication and distribution. In a world where everything is becoming wireless and electronic, it is only a natural process for Artfest to have its own, very unique, wireless radio frequency identification (RFID) chip technology and management software.
Many may not realize the impact of what Artfest has created. Much like what Microsoft did for the software world, Artfest has created a NEW standard and protocol for art and memorabilia tracking and authentication. Many cell phones already have the ability to “read” an RFID chip. Our technology will allow anyone to scan a painting or a collectable product with their personal digital assistant (PDA) or a cell phone and immediately know the history and provenance of the item. In a world where as many as 70% of collectables are counterfeit (according to FBI), Artfest will protect both the consumer, who is buying the product, as well as the creator.
The impact on the market will be tremendous. Artfest is already in negotiations with insurance companies, underwriters and retailers. This technology is not only a great inventory control tool, but also a great market maker. Where else can you track and see the progression of buy and sell prices for art and memorabilia? So indeed, Artfest is creating a verifiable and quantifiable trading platform.
Artfest recently opened its first Expo center. This will serve as both an events center and a retail location for all of Artfest’s products. We are open seven days per week and host meetings for our members and charity events. Any one interested in visiting us, can call and arrange a tour of our facility with our member relations team, headed by Shirley Casavant at 877-278-6672. Artfest is planning to open two more centers this year, one on the Country’s East Coast and one on the West Coast.
Artfest is now a revenue generating company; we are achieving our goals and revenue targets (Our Q1 2009 Financials can be viewed on our Website and Yahoo Finance). We have negotiated with most of our Note holders to exchange our debt for common stock at an average price of $0.10 to $0.15 cents per share.
Artfest is currently in a merger and acquisition mode. We have identified several companies and expect to complete the first transaction this Quarter. Finally, the great faith we have always had in our Company is coming to fruition.
If you have further questions concerning our accomplishments or future plans, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Edward Vakser
Chairman and CEO
Artfest International, Inc.

A few picks from recent email alerts I receive... No DD done by me, just passing these along...
Rec'd 06/04: GCHK
With the current state of things it is clear that GCHK is undervalued and could sky rocket in the short and long term. Wallstreet is definitely watching it like a hawk, and from the activity we see on it, these guys are making big moves.
Link to the PR: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/GreenChek-Announces-bw-15417031.html?.v=1
Link to Beacon Equity's report: http://www.otcmoney.com/reports/BER/GCHK.pdf
A quick snapshot of GreenCheck Technology (GCHK):
GreenChek Technology Inc. (www.greenchektech.com) is traded under the symbol GCHK on the OTCBB exchange and is based in San Francisco, California. GreenChek manufactures and distributes hydrogen injection technology which is primarily focused on mobile transportation applications, as well as stationary power generation applications. GreenChek provides innovative world class mobile Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reduction technology, while greatly enhancing fuel economy for the mobile transportation industry. GreenChek’s Onboard Hydrogen Generation and Injection (OHGI) technology is positioned to occupy the pre-eminent position in the emerging market for emissions reduction technology and fuel economy enhancement. GreenChek has operations in the United States, Canada, Asia and Europe.
The landscape of the automobile industry as we know it is completely changing. It is technologies like GCHK's that will prevail and pave a way for us into the future. President Obama is a major supporter of these green technologies. We should be as well especially knowing that BILLIONS of dollars are in play.
GCHK could continue its momentum and possibly reach total gains of over 500%!
Put GCHK on your radar and watch it closely!
Rec'd 06/03: SLAT
SLAT's Technicals Pointing in the Right Direction, Watch it Close Today
President Obama's signing of the country's economic stimulus plans includes more than $20B in loans, grants and tax credits to help stimulate the development of large-scale domestic production of ADVANCED, LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES for hybrid and electric cars to save the world from pollution and through training, create jobs.
In fact, on March 19th, President Barack Obama said, "The cars of tomorrow require the batteries of tomorrow," in announcing the $2B Advanced Battery Manufacturing Initiative.
Our latest stock idea--Superlattice Power Inc. (SLAT) could be a perfect play off that theme since they are engaged in developing rechargeable lithium-ion batteries for power production and may stand to benefit greatly from the Obama administration’s initiatives.
Of course, there are several other reasons why we think NOW is the time to look at SLAT
SLAT exhibits POWER, SAFETY, and ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN at a level above anything else.
Hybrid Technologies has taken SLAT from a laboratory scale to industrial scale, and are pioneers in producing nano and submicron materials on a large scale.
SLAT’s structure is a hexagonal one and can accommodate MORE LITHIUM and MORE ENERGY.
The elements and specially transition metals have been selected precisely to make SLAT’s cathode materials not only SAFE and ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY…but also LESS EXPENSIVE.
And just a few weeks ago, SLAT and a GLOBAL MANUFACTURING GIANT in Asia submitted a letter of highly motivated support to the Department of Energy, USA for mass-scale production, job creation, training and development of safe and high energy density, cost -effective electric vehicle battery packs.
This manufacturing giant has observed the potential for both companies to achieve a long-term relationship, bringing together an eco-minded community of partnerships to advance U.S. and global energy efficiency. The funding will allow SLAT to accelerate their efforts to move toward lithium power transportation within the U.S. and create jobs and technology that are currently absent and critically needed within the USA. This collaborative work will introduce a new era where the U.S. will no longer be dependent on foreign resources and will become self- sufficient. To read the complete story Click Here
And the stock price chart? What’s not to like? After testing the 73 cent level twice, the stock backed-up to the 50 cent range and consolidated there for a few weeks before making what appears to be a SUCCESSFUL BREAKOUT of that resistance level. Consider the following as technical reasons that SLAT could still move higher…
Expanding upside volume suggests major accumulation of shares.
MACD trending higher, above the “0” line and giving a recent “buy signal” with the short MA crossing back above the longer MA.
Stochastics is a strong up trend
Price having recently closed above the 200 day moving average
So just how much higher could it go? While nothing is certain. Traders should be watching the $.80 range and then possibly the $1.20 range as upward resistance points.
Just think about it…Having closed at 73 cents on Tuesday, if traders bid SLAT up to $1.20, members could see a gain of over 60% (based on Tuesday’s closing price). While nothing is for certain, the technicals suggest it is possible. Of course, members have to be “in it…to win it.”
And if the trade does not work as planned, very short-term traders may wish to consider an exit of the position on a close below 65 cents…which has acted as a near-term support level for the last couple of days.
Longer-term, or less risk-averse traders, could consider exiting on a meaningful break below the 46 cent support level.
With all the support that the Obama administration is giving towards ADVANCED LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES, a GLOBAL GIANT PATNERING WITH SLAT and INCREDIBLY FAVORABLE TECHNICALS, we think members should find out all they can about this potentially money-making opportunity… and get SLAT on their radars right away.
If this stock continues to build momentum as it has over the past few weeks, our members could be in for a nice payday.
I Just wanted to take a minute to welcome you all to "The Million Dollar March."
This board has been created by a number of friends who originally met in an online stock chatroom. We are developing a program, with the goal of turning $1k into $1 million through a series of trades.
Our tentative roll-out date for the program to begin is currently July 1, 2009.
From this board, you will be able to follow along on our stock plays, post to the message board (including potential stock picks), vote in our surveys to help determine our next "plays" prior to each "new" play being announced and much more.
The main "ibox" of our board is where you can find the spreadsheets we are using to track our progress should you wish to also participate. It is also where we will post our running progress of this program.
Lastly, to easily find this board at a later date, simply click "Add to Favorites" at the bottom of your page. This will add our board to your favorites list which can be accessed at the top of any ihub page.
Thanks again for your interest in this group!

- NASCAR sponsorship with Dillon Oliver in place (www.dillonoliver.com)
I just wanted to add my two cents here as I feel things are truly being blown out of proportion...
I have owned my own businesses, currently am a mod on one board here on ihub and assistant mod on another. This is hardly the first time I've seen "delays" and will surely not be the last...
In regards to the video, Brian never said it would be released on the 29th. He set a target date. That was his only mistake thus far as too many of us on this board read into that statement as meaning we would see the video on the 29th...
If you sit back and really look at the big picture, I believe the video is better to hit closer to a Monday open than a Friday close...
It has been said that this video will be very good news for shareholders... Assuming that to be the case, why release it after the market closes on Friday? So all the momentum that the video creates is gone by Monday morning?
Now look at this same scenerio but with a late Sunday night release... If that video is again as good as its been touted, a release late Sunday night, and the additional views pre market on Monday morning could be a much needed spark for BBDA and the PPS that so many of you are yearning for...
Lastly, many on this board seem to have the idea that BBDA was a quick play or easy flip. I send out a stock email to more than 50 friends, most of whom own BBDA... My advice to them on BBDA, it's a long term play.
How can you honestly be sitting here bashing Weber if you look at the larger picture, and have BBDA as a long term pick? Everything he has done thus far has been very positive in my opinion, and I'm hoping that this video is another to add to his list of early accomplishments.
I have told the followers of my emails that BBDA is like a bank account right now... Just add on and accumulate. I have told them that BBDA will play out like a pot of water over an open flame. If you stare at it minute by minute you will become frustrated as "nothing is happening" - but before you know it, that pot of water is soon boiling over.
I believe this analogy will hold true for BBDA. I don't see it as a quick flip and never did. I see it as a company that is making major headway in becoming a major player, and a company that is making moves beneficial to both the company, and the shareholders...
Let's not go looking to blame Brian Weber for missing a "target" when it was us, that read too much into his statement...
BBDA, like the pot of water, will be boiling soon enough, let's just give it the time it needs...
Chris
Just hit 200k
Couple more needed and we see .003 and "hopefully" get some sort of PR tomorrow followed by a CSD release next week!
Now would be a great time for all us ihubers to slap ARTI for 100k at the ask each... could get this to .003 before close, and based on Eddy's email Im hoping for news tomorrow!
I will get my 100k slap in before close - join the cause!
GOOOO ARTI
Chris
No need to get defensive... Im well over a million shares and have a group accounting for about 20 million... Wasn't calling you out, just saying if we buy at bid, the PPS goes down...
If we buy at ask, it goes up...
All on the same team here
GO ARTI
Chris
PS - I'll take any buy, at bid or ask, its a step in the right direction... Just like to see faster forward progress is all
At these low levels, would help to support the ask by SLAPPPPPING it man
Latest email from Mr. Vasker
I'm reading between the lines here, but I'm looking for a PR this am, and most certainly this week... Now, I don't think it will be the CSD release (yet) but think we see a good PR...
This was received late yesterday afternoon...
Thank you, we are about to announce a few new updates. I do appreciate your support, and on a personal level, I really DO Know that you WILL NOT be disappointed. There is so much speculation on the street, that we had to slow down the constant phone calls and accusations the we are receiving now.

I just wanted to share a couple emails that I have traded back and forth with Mr. Vasker today. Having done hours of DD on this stock, I now hold over 1.1 million shares, and was in this without knowing when about a month ago, I bought ARTI at .0019 to later sell at .019.
I was also in this for its most current run to .0085 and for one am a believer in Artfest International - What began as an opportunity for a couple quick flips has turned into a company that I am now holding long term.
That being said, I wanted to ask Mr. Vasker some questions that I was being asked, as I send out a stock newsletter to about 50 friends, most of whom also own ARTI stock.
Now, since most of you won't take the time to read the entire two emails sent back-and-forth, let me summarize what I got from this exchange with Mr. Vasker...
1. The CSD is VERY close to completion and PR:
"The CSD deal, and it’s part of general knowledge, will be closed any day now. It’s the catalyst for the start of all our growth and M and A activities."
2. The reason this deal has taken longer than expected is because financing of the CSD encompasses all the money needed for currently targeted acquisitions by ARTI
"Since the money will cover all the proposed acquisitions, this is partially why it’s taken so long thus far."
3. As there has been question to adding additional shares, Mr. Vasker gives a solid explanation of trading shares in lieu of spending cash, which I am 100% in favor of - keep in mind that cash shows up on revenue reports...
"Larry Ditto, who was Artfest original CEO, is working very close with the management to help with M/A and reduction of debt (via stock trade). Our goal, from trading stand point, is to apply for a major listing like AMEX…"
I for one have a renewed enthusiasm for Artfest International and Mr. Vasker after emailing with him this afternoon. I will continue to hold this stock, and that has been the concensus of those friends of mine who hold ARTI as well.
And we will take Mr. Vasker up on the tour of his facility and lunch at some point in the future!
Copies of the emails sent and received are pasted below.
GOOOOOOO ARTI!

My initial email to Mr. Vasker
Hello Mr. Vasker!
Just wanted to shoot you a quick email in regards to Artfest International...
I am currently a shareholder of approximately 1.1 million shares and have a network of investors that account for approximately 20 million shares in your company. I am also an active member of the ihub investor boards.
I was both encouraged and excited in seeing the recently posted first quarter earnings report as were the investors in my group.
Two questions are being asked and I was hoping you may be able to help. First of all, there are questions as to share count possibly having increased and to as why the transfer agent has been gagged if this is not the case.
Secondly, investors are extremely excited by the "partnering with CSD" being included in the report and are wondering what the status on officially acquiring CSD may be or when we might expect to see a PR with this acquisition news.
I understand you are busy and thank you in advance for taking the time to read/respond to my email.
Thanks Again,
Chris Herman

I received this response to my email...
Christopher, thank you for the vote of confidence . We are working on CSD and the other few acquisitions that we targeted.
Since the money will cover all the proposed acquisitions, this is partially why it’s taken so long thus far. I also appreciate and respect your position, as an intelligent investor you can add up the components of the deal and the market space that we are in.
No one is attempting to Roll up these memorabilia and Art companies, and no one so far has created a world standard for production, authentication and tracking of the items. So yes , Artfest is attempting something that is very difficult and expensive to do, however, it’s not impossible to accomplish. My management and production team is very seasoned and we have done this several times before. This time we are doing it for our own company, Artfest.
We are also involved with Television production for sports and Art, I see a tremendous future both for the programming and selling on the air. I don’t know at what level you and your investors came in, however, I know that both the company and the shares are severely undervalued. But, that’s why it’s a tremendous bargain at these levels. Most of my investors and insiders bought at a very high price, and we are all here for the long.
I’m personally intrigued by even the IHUB investors, who themselves came in at approx .0002 , and then the big issue was that there were not enough in the float, and now, there is a greater volume, but even then it’s so thinly traded that a $ 30 trade knocks it down.
I think that when we continue to perform and show the growth, we can expect the market to take notice and gives us a correct value.
Best regards,

After reading his email, I replied...
Edward, thanks for taking the time to respond. I know what I believe based on DD falls closely in line with the response you've sent me.
I appreciate the opportunity to give some of my investors the boost of confidence that your email conveyed.
Two last questions, is there an ETA on receiving the funding for the acquisitions? I'm under the impression that CSD is basically a done deal awaiting a monetary transfer...
And lastly, would it be ok for me to pass this email along to investors on iHub? I know there are a few ARTI bashers downing everyone's feelings towards the company.
Thanks in Advance
Chris
To which he responded...
Chris, no problem at all. I actually appreciate you investing, and therefore as much as it may sound patronizing, but I do work for you and all the other investors.
Also, I don’t want to “sell” you on the company, but I do appreciate a long term investors. The CSD deal, and it’s part of general knowledge, will be closed any day now. It’s the catalyst for the start of all our growth and M and A activities.
We also, as part of our plan, will acquire several media and production companies, the hint is very clear when you watch our “Corporate Overview” video on the www.artfestinternational.com , as Artfest acquired one of my family’s companies, there are several more. The reason? Assets, production and content, as well as media development.
Larry Ditto, who was Artfest original CEO, is working very close with the management to help with M/A and reduction of debt (via stock trade). Our goal, from trading stand point, is to apply for a major listing like AMEX….
So, I realize that people need to take profits, but who is to know how high we can get? In any case, the company is here, to grow and become a world conglomerate in our market space. So, since you and many other IHUB guys are interested, I would be happy to host a “show and tell” tour of our facility.
Our new space speaks for itself……and we are open 24/7….. and if you let me know when you’re coming, we’ll even cook lunch for you at our Artfest International Cuisine w/Chef Lou..

Amazing, a downtick and a Capt post haha...
And yes, when the bid is lower than the ask, it would result in a downtick... Thanks for stock trading 101 update though

PLEASE LET THE ACQUISITION PR HIT NOW!
1.38 million traded and all buys.... Hopefully someone knows something here... Keeping my eyes peeled for a Press Release this am...
Usually hit between what, 10:30-11:30 est right?
Good morning All!
Hope everyone enjoyed the 3 day weekend... I for one am ready for ARTI to pop...
Nice 250,000 hit at open, hoping the 3 day weekend leads to the acquisition PR we're all waitiing on...
GOOOOO ARTI!
Chris
I added the 65206 before you... up to like 1.3 million now, just wish I had another $5k transfered to gobble up those 0029s!
You mean like this excerpt from the Q1? Seems pretty transparent to me...
"The Company was authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock and 2,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value preferred stock as of March 31, 2009.
In February, 2009 the Company issued 12,500,000 restricted common shares to consultants and advisors in lieu of cash compensation.
On March 27, 2009 the Company issued 17,500,000 restricted common shares to a former employee, Jacob D. Cohen, as partial payment on a Convertible Promissory Note, dated June 1, 2008 in the amount of $87,250.00 bearing interest at 10% per annum in lieu of a cash payment. The shares issued represented a partial principal payment of $43,500.00.
On April 1, 2009 the Company issued 14,500,000 restricted common shares to a former employee, Jacob D. Cohen, as final payment on a Convertible Promissory Note dated June 1, 2008 in the amount of $87,250.00 bearing interest at 10% per annum in lieu of a cash payment. The shares issued represented the final principal payment of $43,750.00 and accrued interest of $7,144.00."
Purely genius! Gotta love this approach... As we've all asked for ways to help BBDA this one makes the most sense... Get everyone calling the stores the company is targeting - once they start getting calls day and night they'll give BBDA a chance...
And then we get a new list of targets to start calling...
Loving Brian Weber and the moves he's making.
Cant wait till the 29th to hear from him again!
Go BBDA!
Chris
Still here Eagerly awaiting ARTI to PR the CSD acquisition! Today would be a nice day to see a PR so all the chasers have a long weekend to look at a nice ARTI increase!
Chris
"Friends" from an online chat
Yes, and some dipshit sells 50,297 at 0033 - now we need to slap the ask before close with whatever change we've got sitting in the old accounts haha
We all need to slap this for 100k at ask now till close Get this listed on americanbulls.com as a buy again and get those auto alerts going out on ARTI BEFORE that acquisition PR hits...
Im gonna hit it again
Well I believe the negotiations are very complex, just felt personally that I could exit and re-enter later down the road at a better price...
Didnt post that to scare anyone, just what I got back...
Chris
Figured I would take a minute to copy and paste the sections of the Q1 that were particularly of interest to me as I read through it...
Below you will find a "cliff notes" of sorts - all information was taken directly from ARTI's Q1 report.
I cannot WAIT till next week!

...the worldwide market for collectibles is worth $120 Billion annually...
...In February 2007, the Art Channel officially launched a 2-month test run that amassed over 350 members and experienced gross revenues of over $400,000. According to these numbers, on a per member basis, this translates into $571 per month or $6,857 a year in per member revenues to the Art Channel...
...Artfest has partnered with CSD Sports....
...Artfest recently entered into a distribution agreement with Celebrity Sports to gain access to sports memorabilia products...
...There are several companies which are experiencing phenomenal success in the art reproduction direct-sales industry. One of these companies which uses a direct-sales approach has enjoyed $136 million in sales in less than 21 months. Another company in 1996 sold 66.7% of its ownership for $930,000,000. These figures are even more impressive considering that our management believes that the artists whose works were sold by these companies are relatively unknown...
...Our motive is to build value and increase market penetration with vertically integrated companies and service providers. The strategic acquisitions or “Roll Ups,” is a part of Artfest’s global expansion plan that includes Media, Art, Memorabilia and Distribution companies that will compliment and enhance Artfest's sophisticated business model...

...The company had a net profit of $280,775 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a net loss of $745,876 for the prior year three month period. The decrease in net loss is the result of decreased operating costs...
...Proposed Charity Sports Distributor Acquisition
In February 2009 the Company entered into a Letter of Intent to acquire Charity Sports Distributor, Inc. (d.b.a. CSD Sports Framing and Memorabilia) which was founded in 1996. CSD is a vertically integrated Texas based custom framing company which specializes in the design, production, and distribution of authentic framed autographed sports and entertainment collectibles and art pieces. CSD’s distribution avenues include B2B and B2C sales, charity fundraising auctions, professional and college sports team’s pro shops, e-stores, online auctions and a revolutionary in-game silent auction concept known as Home Game Auction. CSD’s thirteen (13) year experience in the professional and college sports marketplace has developed an extensive client list which consists of hundreds of private charities and over forty (40) professional and college teams, including the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Oakland Raiders, Houston Rockets, Dallas Mavericks, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Arizona Diamondbacks, Dallas Stars, Ohio State, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, Auburn, Florida State and UCLA.
The Company expects to complete the acquisition during the Second Quarter of 2009 and be in a position to launch the distribution of CSD’s product line through Art Channel Galleries, the marketing arm and wholly owned subsidiary of Artfest International, Inc., during the Second Quarter 2009. The addition of CSD’s product line in the Second Quarter would compliment and expand the Company’s ongoing product promotions and special purchase packages that are directed towards introducing a select number of acclaimed artists to our members. Presently, the Company is reviewing several financing options in order to complete this synergistic acquisition as efficiently as possible in light of the Company having completed its required due diligence.
CSD recorded revenues in calendar year 2008 of $3.3 million. Upon closing, CSD will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Artfest International, Inc.
The Company believes that the acquisition of CSD will result in the immediate expansion and enhancement of our current product offerings and will lead to an expansion of the Company’s current audience. Furthermore the acquisition will enable the Company to vertically integrate framing and canvas stretching operations and enable the company to increase the overall profitability of our existing product lines.
“CSD’s innovative framing is widely regarded as the premier quality brand in the autographed memorabilia marketplace, and by joining teaming with Artfest International, CSD would posses one of the most expansive product portfolios in the autographed collectibles industry...
...During the quarter ending March 31, 2009 the Company has initiated discussions to convert approximately $700,000 of notes into common shares of the Company at an average price of $.10 per share...
Hey guys, I was just looking back and thought I had posted this email I sent Sylvain and the response I received, but see that the post with his response is not there...
I believe that the company has a future - I like the Port Security business as a viable business and believe that it will only continue to grow in the future.
I decided to exit this stock last Friday after reading the email from Sylvain as he tells me in it that Alco Advanced currently has no contracts on the books. I feared the worst in investors/flippers seeing a PR without financials and no contracts and exited at .12 - I will be watching this in the future and will enter again at a later point.
Here is the email I received from Sylvain, and below it, the email I sent him...

Chris,
Thank you for your input in regards to the release of Alco PR. We will be looking into this. We agree with you but we just did not have the time to do something about it yet. Our goal is to have this done by next week at the latest. Please remember that we have done the reverse merger only 4 weeks ago and all the management is traveling heavily. It is the same thing for our website. Our new website should be up by early next week (the only missing piece is the Investor relationship module that we are integrating). Finally in regards to your question about the future contract we do not have currently a contract on our books. However we are working very hard to close such contract and as soon as it is done we will issue a PR. We are currently negotiating with multiple ports through the world for our unique service and are receiving amazing response from all of them. Like I told everybody else we are building a company that will be a recognized force in the field of Port and security market and it takes time. One month is very little for the kind or projects we are working on when you consider that we have been working on some of them for 2 years. I hope this answer your questions.
Regards,
Sylvain

Subject: Re: Alco Advanced Technologies
Sylvain, I just wanted to thank you for your reply. I was excited to see the first press release that your company put out on Wednesday, however it was not picked up by any of the brokerage firms such as Etrade, Scottrade, etc. nor was it picked up by any news outlets, Yahoo, Google etc.
As a shareholder I am just curious as to the possibility that press release be released through a source such as www.marketwire.com or www.prnewswire.com as your releases will then be carried on both the news and brokerage websites.
In talking with other potential investors, there is still a credibility issue with releases only coming via www.pinksheets.com as they cannot be found anywhere but on Pink Sheets. You would be able to make a more compelling case to join the cause and buy ALCD stock if another avenue was used to get these PRs picked up...
On a side note, I was wondering when we might see a revamped website?
And lastly, the PR that was released eluded to future contracts, are there any currently on the books for Alco Advanced?
Again thank you for your time and I eagerly await a response.

Look at the L2 - with it this thin the MMs chase too... They're just readjusting the ask to where we shouldve gone from 0040 anyways...
