MySpace Advertisement
So, I was trying to figure out how to get some more visibility to KidzMedz and came upon the idea to look at the new http://advertise.myspace.com feature where you can just pick an amount owed and pay per click on an Ad.
So, I took $25 of my hard earned money and placed an Ad on MySpace to try and drive some more traffic to the site.
As of Sunday afternoon, here's the statistics....
Active
Start: 10/24/2008
End: 11/30/2008
Total Avail: $25.00
Total Left : $24.75
Total Views: 3,548
Total Clicks: 1
Click Rate: 0.03%
Amount Paid: $0.25
I modified the graphic slightly from the kidz-medz home page, which should fall under fair use and here's the final result Ad
Hopefully, this will result in a return of an additional $25 to my portfolio... LOL
they need to get into casino spa places in vegas and Atlantic city
I don't really care WHO got my $300 today here, because all I care about is that someone gives ME $500 for them.
Oh don't worry, I have at least 10k more where that came from!
I couldn't stand looking at the RED any longer, so I purchased myself 10,000 more wonderful shares of our lovely company at the low low price of .005
EFFC - I know it's probably a naughty word over here, but it's taken a nice 'dip' back down to .03 and even it .025 again today after running from .015 up to .195 recently. Some of us who just watch for fun, think that there will be a company sponsored pump coming up that may result in a quick double. Buyer beware though for those of you who know the company.
Level of risk = high, but this should jump to .06 quick with any volume.
Later. ;)
Okay boys n Girls - I'm back to the party with 6k shares at .03
:)
Hey, stop the paint, I want some of those .0001's !
I'm sure glad I used my last cents to buy 340,000 shares of RMDM at .0001
To the moon baby!
LOL
thanks but any of you vegasites want to just tell me which store is closest or if there are any on the strip? :)
where 2 buy in vegas on strip?
I'm staying at MGM right now and no car. What's closest retail bionic tonic location?
AUTO has stepped back to $2.00 and they've been near the ask a lot recently. I think we go up quick now if there's some volume

During a scheduled stop in to the oncology department, I talked to them about my email I sent them about the thermofocus. They have looked at the product and like the viability and have taken it to the product selection committee to acquire for it's ability to not infect or contaminate anything. We might have a winner here. :)
That's almost a non-answer if you ask me. Seems that if Costco is no longer selling the product (which I posted about earlier) then the company or the distributor likely had to have something to do with that. If the product sold well @ costco, seems KidzMedz could jump right in there.
AUTO and UBSS need to do the same thing. Come on company, help us out! :)
Today's increase in PPS is a good indication of what will happen when we get buyers. with 200k volume, we're up almost 30%. Let's get 2M volume!
doog - take a peek at BNPD.
Bionic Tonic is the product that appears to be taking off. Up 60% on Friday. It'll potentially gap up, but might be good MOMO this week as the company releases more news about distribution and warehouses.
Okay, who went and found out something good and invited RG to the table. :)
Great close, coming into the weekend - green is a good color here.
Let's ramp this up going into the end of the month. One of these days, we should get end of quarter financial progress!
Yeah, it hasn't been AUTO sitting there or anything - DOMS and the such. I'm still angry that I spent ALL of my money at .006. I was able to pick up 10k more shares at .0022 that they mirrored down to .0021.
Time to hunker down. I just wish (in hind site) that I had first bought WB for a 6x, then I had bought some SHRP for a 18x, and maybe some MS for a 3x along the way so I could throw 200k at this - lol.
I think it's probably time we start asking for an investor update on the company website - or on the audiostocks website. If they won't want to submit a PR cuz it will be lost in the media right now, they at least need a "statement from the CEO for investors" on the web site.
Yeah, especially since a lot of US already have information. We need other people to want to buy this stock too.
Conrad Huss was kind enough to call me back after I left a voicemail for him this morning.
We had a good 10-15 minute conversation, talking about ASFX and the conditions the company is under right now.
We discussed a few topic areas, that I will recount for those of you interested enough to read
a) The market volitility has impacted all of his clients and many of his lendors have stepped away from deals and have taken a 'hey, let's put stuff on hold for a few weeks to see what happens' approach. This said, ASFX signed two letters of intent for additional financing and that paperwork is 'being finalized' but he couldn't commit to anything in terms of timeframe because of the market
b) He was in support of the company raising the AS. Primarily because the company needs that as an option for any possible partnerships, acquisitions, funding opportunties, etc. He could not discuss any 'current' plans that the company "may or may not" be planning. He said that he is a very large supporter of structured deals with restricted shares.
c) He commented that ASFX will be receiving payment from the first shipment of product to "the recent announced retailer' and he thought that he had heard that this retailer had placed an additional order and that ASFX had that order.
d) He commented that the market downturn, in his opinion, isn't likely to hit ASFX 'that hard' from a product perspective because of their product line. He even thought that in some cases, it might help them because people will still do baby showers, and they may choose to buy the thermometers rather than spending the $200 they may have spent. He thought the price point was good for the Thermofocus
e) He said he heard that traffic to the company web-site has moderately increased and that orders from the company web-site has increased.
Overall he told me to be patient because things have slowed down for ASFX and all of his other clients and as things sorta fix themselves throughout the market, we'll hear information from the company.
it might mean that the ihub longs now own the entire float. ;)
I have an answer to why the heartsmartsystem.com site is down, and apparently has been 'for some time' according to IR.
The answer back from both Marketing and IR was that the company is completely focused on KidzMedz right now, so they took the heartsmartsystem.com site down.
In response to that, I asked them to put in a URL redirect back to the Corporate site to ensure that it was a good 'customer experience' for people trying to go the site, rather than just a blank, error, page. Erika in Marketing said she would look into that.
So, a sorta positive movement that the company is focusing ALL of their efforts on KidzMedz! Now, if they'd only tell us about it....
has anyone called Kauderer lately to check on the financing?
As soon as you know where the distribution center is in Phoenix and Scottsdale, I'd like to drive over there and pick me up a case of product!
yeah. A few things are pretty obvious (I think) following a day like this
a) All of the disgusted day traders or people-who-didn't-want-to-wait have finished selling or won't sell
b) We're waiting patiently as a board, rather then painting up the stock
c) No blind dilution following the increase in AS
Now, we just need these intrinsic, behind-the-scenes, things to figure themselves out so that the company can start releasing progress to the press.
heartsmartsystem.com web site down?
Can anyone else get to the Heart Smart site? All appears to be fine via the WhoIS and the domain is registered until 2011. So, either it's busted, or they're moving it or something.
I've reached out to the CO as well asking why the site is down.
The AS = 500M per nevada now.
the 'last official' figures for the other numbers are in the ibox. I've been bugging Ron (and others) via email to update the share count and account for the 35m + 28m + ?? if there are more shares than that in the float.
This trades as though the float is tight and there appears to be no dilution, so the numbers in the ibox must be close.

Chris's is a pure guess based on everyone else's email being first initial and then last name.
neither have responded to any email I've sent, and the only thing they've done (as Ron confirmed) is forward my emails to him for handling.
Enjoy, but be nice.
he's been cancer free for nearly 2 years. My understanding of high fevers and the need for a safe, non-contact way to check temperature is one of the things that drew me to ASFX. As he was undergoing his stem-cell transplant, we often had to remind the nurses to completely sanitize the thermometer each time they came into our hermetically sealed room.
Because of my son's treatment for his Brain Tumor at Phoenix Childrens Hospital (www.asherbenjamin.net), we have a lot of experience with the oncology department over there (as you can imagine).
I'm trying to figure out _who_ at PCH is actually using the thermofocus, because if I can get oncology hooked, that's hundreds of units.
Costco Sold Out.
I was checking the costco link and saw that the product is no longer available from the site. I emailed the Costco web people and got the following response.
Dear XXX,
Thank you for your e-mail to Costco Wholesale.
The items on Costco.com, including promotional offers, are limited to supplies on hand and we are unable to guarantee availability.

Hi, I''m trying to find availability of a product that you used to carry online The Thermofocus Thermometer
The product ID used to be: 11239391
The product no longer appears to be available via the online store? Could you please let me know the following
(a) will you have the Thermofocus back in stock soon?
Curly - you're exactly right. There are a number of open angles with ASFX right now and it'd be nice to know which one(s) of them they are playing. They have a vitamin now, some additional shares to work with, potential merger, acquisition, thermofocus sales, Costco in-store, Babies-R-Us in-store, financing proposals, etc.
I'm going to try and get some more information from Ron or Conrad today if I get some time between meetings, because it appears that if you ask the right questions, non=answers give you as much information as answers sometimes and I'm hoping to piece together something good...
Nice buys toda at .0035 whoever's sitting there.
I think you need to bring I up to .003 or .0032 to ensure a fill unless someone dumps a bunch ( over 300k)
AccipiterQ - THANKS! So, what was your overall feeling from the conversation? Did you come away with "just the fact" or did you get a sense of something good underneith the tone of voice, or do you hear trepidation or what?
But careful - he IS a doctor - so he might be in it to make the world a better place. I think a big part of this company is the other subsidiary that makes that Heart Smart stuff.
Ron @ Audiostocks returned my call this morning and shared some information with me.
First, he doesn't think the company will specifically issue a PR JUST because of the filing, but he is looking into other ways to 'let people know' what the filing is for.
From all that he has been able to gather, the company recalculated the preferred stock on the PAR value for tax purposes and eliminated the preferred stock, doing a conversion over to common shares. (I think I got that right)
I took away that at this time, the company has no plans (right now) for issuing these additional shares as cash. Ron did tell me that if the company DID need to raise cash, he would advise them to issue the shares in such a way as to not negatively impact shareholders because it wouldn't be in the best interest of the company.
Ron also told me that Dr. T possesses monthly sales figures for the Walgreens deal and he has advised the company that shareholders would probably like to see a press release with monthly walgreens sales figures, but obviously couldn't promise anything.
One thing that does make me happy - for some reason - is the following. Over the weekend, I emailed Erika (the Marketing Lady), Dr. Triotta (at two email addresses), and Ron. Both Erika and Dr. T saw the emails and forwarded them to Ron to handle. They're on top of their emails and are directing questions to Ron to handle, and it makes me happy that Ron called me back within an hour to handle my questions, and did so very effectively.
It's a freakin' banking holiday and I can't get any money moved into my brokerage account.
Well, I'm going to have to rely on the rest of you longs (go Skinferd!) to pick up all of these cheap shares and hold on them as we zoom up to a dime and beyond.
good notes.
Did the company indicate if they had any change in plans on distribution because of the recently issued patent? I would think this is on top of their minds at least to have a legal statement that they are not Infringing
Kinda looking to get back in here as the company seems to have some reasonable things going for it even though there are the problems there from the past.
