Mick/Pete: Zalemark is insolvent. And-they have no sales.
I just don't get why you guys continue to push this stock.
They have no abilility to pay anyone...except in worthless shares.
They continue to post huge losses. And huge amounts of inventory is missing. Read and try to understand their financial statements. That is why the price per share keeps getting lower every year.
Steven Zale has pissed away over $8,000,000 in stockholder and stakeholder money. He can't even pay the interest on the loans. The lenders don't get their funds so they take more worthless stock. The Inept Felon should go back to prison where he belongs.
DJPB: why-aren't-you-questioning-the-missing-$133,000 in-inventory. The-numbers-don't-lie. An explanation is needed...dontcha think? Call Steven Zale. Ask him.
Read the financial statements. Zalemark lost $163,000 in the last quarter. And they paid out big wages and professional fees. Wouldn't you want to know who got that money...and what the payments were for. And where did they get the money from? Have you talked Ernest since he quit?
Zalemark-is-insolvent. You can't pay-bills with-a-chart...or-wishful-thinking.
Learn how to read a financial statement.
In simple terms: Zalemark's debt far exceeds their ability to pay those debts.
No sales or revenue equals more huge losses.
Over $163,000 in first quarter losses. AND NO SALES!!! ZERO!!!
A NEGATIVE $8,000,000 in retained earnings and net losses.
INSOLVENT and heading to BANKRUPTCY.
This is reality...not some forward "wishful thinking" B.S.
"Just sayin": No long term interest in Zalemark. Did the Inept One write ANY orders at the much touted "new" re-launch of the Crayola and M&M brands? My guess is "pittance", if anything at all. If Zalemark landed a major account, I am positive we would have heard about it. So AGAIN the Inept One failed.
For ZMRK to stay in business, without orders, the Inept Felon has to fleece some more sheep. But the flock has wandered off.
Did-ZMRK-write-orders-in-Las-Vegas? If-yes: how-much? Where-is-the-transparency that-was-promised-last-year?
The main jewelry trade show for fall/holiday 2016 sales just ended. How much business was written? The lack of a press release or news announcement regarding how well Zalemark did is quite telling. I am sure the Inept One would have made an announcement stating how well they did IF they in fact, did well. Did they pick up a few major retailers? I don't think do.
DJPB: Why-do-you-KEEP-believing-in-Zalemark? NOTHING-has-ever-come-to-fruition...NOTHING!!!!!
I assume you have read their financial statements. Why aren't you asking the same questions I have posted here. Over $132,000 missing from inventory. The last quarter loss was over $160,000. Zalemark is over $8,000,000 underwater. There were zero sales in the last quarter. Zalemark owes FOUR times (Liabilities) their supposed Assets. The company is INSOLVENT with absolutely no ability to pay their debts. Everyone gets paid in worthless stock. But where did the money come from to pay those outrageous professional fees and wages.
And who received those fees and wages? Stop with the wishful thinking. Ask legitimate, serious questions. Zalemark has to file for bankruptcy or close down. There is no money left.
NOTHING in store. And NOTHING in "stores".
Jewelry-companies at the Las-Vegas show-should-get orders-ranging-from $200,000-to-multi-millions.
This is a huge international jewelry trade show. This is where the big buyers place orders. This is where the smaller independent retail jewelers place their orders. The attendance is over 25,000 retailers.
Did Zalemark write orders closer to the lower end or somewhere much higher in the low millions?
Will Zalemark be "transparent" with their investors? My guess is they will say nothing. Just like last year.
OMG: No one had the money or confidence-to-slap-the-ask.
It will be done tomorrow or maybe the insiders know that without sales at their Las Vegas trade show they know there is no light at the end of the tunnel. So if Zale or one of his cohorts didn't slap today then why didn't one of the desperate underwater peeps spend $1.50 to buy 100 shares?
Hmmm...
Where is-the "Ask-Slapper" with-the-100-or-1,000-share-trade?
Probably to busy packing up the Las Vegas booth to make his normal purchase.
Any other desperate underwater longs want to spend $1 to $10 to "drive the price up"?
Under $100 sell drops ZMRK over 26%. Low-floaters-do-that. You can get the PPS to rise quickly also but when you go to sell there is no high price support.
Questions you will never get an answer to:
How much business was written at the two trade shows?
How many stores purchased jewelry?
How were the sales broken down between Crayola and M&M's?
Did any major department stores (Saks, Macy's, Neiman's, Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, JC Penney, Sears, Kohl's, etc.) or jewelry store chains (Zales, Kay's, Helzberg, Jared, Reed's, Rogers & Hollands, etc.) or possibly QVC or HSN or maybe even Costco, Sams Club or Walmart...stop by and place orders?
Now, don't you think if one or more of these prestigious retailers came by...Zalemark and the Inept One would say something. But no, not a peep out of the them. Didn't Steven Zale (the convicted felon) say that he was a vendor to most of these accounts. What do you think the reason is that they haven't bought these "childish" brands? Maybe, just maybe, the merchandise wasn't saleable. That's my educated guess.
But-did-they actually purchase-any-jewelry? Showing-is one-thing...selling-is-another.
The only thing Zalemark sells, is shares of stock. And the only thing Steven Zale is good at, is losing other people's money.
You-should-have-sold @.09. You-thought it-was going-to-$0.25-and-higher.
This company is insolvent and can't pay its bills.
Have-any-retailers bought-anything? How-much have-they-sold? Stop-with-your "wishful-thinking".
Give me facts not fiction and hopes.
In over one-year not-one person bought Crayola jewelry.
Not many sane adults would wear these pieces. Especially at fine jewelry prices. Both the Crayola and M&M jewelry looks like it should be selling to children for $4.99 to $9.99 retails. The product won't sell at retail because it won't be in jewelry stores. No major retailer is going to carry these products. It's been exposed to retailers for the past year and no one wanted it. It won't change this year. Plus Zalemark is insolvent. Their debt is huge. The desperate underwater longs can continue to post wishful thinking, as they have done for over a year, but the facts are the facts. Zalemark is heading into bankruptcy.
It's all based on "Wishful-Thinking". Zalemark is INSOLVENT.
Pete: the-same-things were-said one-year-ago and NO-SALES in-over-a-year. Zalemark sells shares of stock...not jewelry. They couldn't sell ANY Crayola jewelry. Or M&M's for that matter. Absolutely no sales or revenue in the first quarter of this year. And that included Valentines Day and deliveries for Mothers Day as well. They are over $8,000,000 underwater. ZMRK is insolvent.
Zalemark is INSOLVENT. Don't-get your-hopes-up. Read-the financial statements.

Zero sales results from the Caesar's-Palace two-day show,
The countdown really started two days ago and again no sales.
DJPB: why aren't you questioning the missing $133,000 in inventory. The numbers don't lie. A strong explanation is needed...dontcha think?
Stop for a moment and read the financial statements. Zalemark lost $163,000 in the last quarter. But they paid out big wages and professional fees. Wouldn't you want to know who got that money...and what the payments were for.
DJPB: read-my-post. I knew-they-were sharing-a-booth with-Super-Bell. But my point is: if someone was looking for Crayola jewelry or M&M jewelry or even Zalemark then when they typed those company names into the search box, there would be no results.
JCK Exhibitor Search on-Crayola, M&M's and Zalemark found-nothing.
The following is what comes up.:
"No results were found matching your criteria."
So my assumption is that Zalemark couldn't afford to list the company names. I do believe that they will show product in the Super Bell booth, but if there is no Crayola, M&M or Zalemark listing then how do buyers looking for those products know they are in the Super Bell booth.
It's truly hopeless, as the desperate underwater longs will soon find out.
REMINDER: 1st-quarter-results. NO-SALES or-REVENUE plus-HUGE-LOSS & INSOLVENT.
Read the latest financial report. ZMRK didn't sell a single item in all of January, February and March of this year. And that included Valentine's Day as well. ZMRK's Liabilities are four times their questionable Assets. They owe money to everyone. They don't have the ability to make payments. Which is no surprise when you have no sales.
1st Quarter 2016:
https://www.otciq.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=155115
Pete: How many buyers responded to the invitation?
My guess is ZERO. Just like last years Crayola Event Launch.
In one full year Crayola could not sell one single store. Plus Zalemark has no funding anymore. Only huge debt. Steven Zale doesn't know which way to turn. The bankruptcy attorney wants cash not worthless shares of stock. My guess is Steven Zale will walk away (possibly with some unaccountable inventory).
No Crayola sales in one year...not exciting.
No revenue at all in the first quarter of this year.
WHY? Cause the jewelry is not compelling enough for stores to put it in their cases. If the product had merit then it would have sold to some stores. But not one store bought it in over a year. But the sheep don't understand facts. Wishful thinking doesn't make it so. Zalemark is so over burdened with debt that it can't survive. Mr. Martel knew it and left. Underwater by over $8,000,000. Their current liabilities are over four times their current assets. They will continue to lose huge amounts of money because they signed royalty agreements. And there are no sales or profits to pay those minimum quarterly fees.
No-Audit, No-$1 Million-Equity-Purchase, No-Crayola-Sales, No-M&M-Sales. NO-ANYTHING!
Only desperate underwater longs posting what Zalemark would like them to post.
Zalemark is INSOLVENT. They owe four to five times more than they have the ability to pay. Read the financial statements that show the ratio of Assets to Liabilities. Zalemark is underwater by over $8,000,000 between negative retained earnings and their net losses.
Zalemark doesn't have the ability to make any payments due to vendors or investors. They are trading stock (which is basically worthless) to convert their indebtedness. This will only dilute the stock price further. The only thing stockholders and stakeholders have left is just a flimsy straw that they are holding onto in the tidal wave that is crashing down on them.
SELLING SOMETHING WOULD BE EXCITING. CON-MAN Steven-Zale keeps-conning-the-sheep.
Pete: ZMRK-had-a-big-event party last-year at-the same-show: NO-SALES.
In one full year they didn't sell any Crayola jewelry. A year and no sales. In fact if you read the first quarter financial statement Zalemark DIDN'T SELL ANYTHING at all. No Crayola, no M&M's, no nothing.
Zalemark doesn't sell jewelry. They sell shares. Read the financial statements and see how much money was spent on marketing and promoting jewelry. Almost nothing...under $1,500. But big money was spent promoting the stock.
You are badly mistaken to believe this year will be any different. No one has liked the jewelry enough to place an order. It's just not compelling for retailers to purchase it. They have too many legitimate companies to buy jewelry from. They don't need Zalemark or the felon Steven Zale to become their supplier.
The "good" I am here for is-to-make-innocent-investors-aware-of-the-misleading-posts. Real DD is not listening to underwater posters that post wishful thinking. Real DD is taking time to read and understand what I consider to be fraudulent financial statements and misleading press releases that never come to fruition. Many of the sheep followers were suckered into believing the hype and they lost money because they never read the financial reports. They just wanted to believe in the wishful thinking of others...especially the chart guys.
Pete&mick: your Barchart-&-Candlestick opinions-state: STRONG SELL & BEARISH.
The sheep must like getting fleeced as it makes them somewhat "lighter"......in their investment portfolio.

Was this in response to my recent posts where I stated they left a page out of the first quarter 2016 report? Did they mean to re-publish the first quarter with the missing page? Just ridiculous. I will probably not read it to see if it matches the one that was already posted on March 14, 2016, as I know Zalemark is insolvent and ready to file for bankruptcy.
In my not-so humble opinion: Fraudulent Financial Statements.
I have been looking at the past few years financial statements and I see so many questionable items.
Inventory is one item that fluctuates up and down with the same amount ($302,000) showing up in different quarters and sometimes not consecutive quarters. Nothing makes financial sense. The inventory numbers sometimes appear twice on a statement either as the same number or as a vastly different number. Possibly this could get Steven Zale back in prison (where I think he belongs) but he was clever enough to get get others to sign off on these statements. It certainly could be a lawsuit against the officers and directors along with the attorney and CPA.
The sheep will continue to get "fleeced" if they continue to believe anything from Zalemark and Steven Zale.
My last-few-posts showed real DD, not-the wishful-thinking of-sheep.
It makes perfect sense that to "rev" the engine of Zalemark they needed the "rev".. as in REVENUE. They had none. No sales only expenses. And questionable expenses at that.
Zalemark shows a huge amount of missing inventory that somehow disappeared. And they show a huge amount of payments being made. But where did the money come from to make those payments. And who received those payments. It's all hidden behind Professional Fees and Salaries and Wages. Where is the transparency Steven Zale promised.
If only the sheep guy plus the dumb brothers did real DD instead of just posting idiotic phases of "Go $ZMRK" or "Have patience" or "Whatever", they would have known this stock is a very tarnished jewelry concern. So tarnished that $ZMRK is insolvent.
Sorry to disappoint the sheep guy who thinks the PPS is "heading north". The PPS took a "360" and is now heading south.
In sheep talk it's looking very "baaaad".
Missing-Inventory: $132,121.08. Is-this how the sweat-equity-people-really-get-paid?
Is this why "Ernie" quit?
He couldn't take being associated with the convicted felon and admitted embezzler, Steven Zale, any longer.
At the end of the third quarter 2015:
$302,000 in inventory listed.
At the end of the fourth quarter 2015:
$14,695.12 in inventory listed.
Zalemark showed sales in the 4th qtr
with the cost of goods for those sales at $155,183.80.
So if you started the 4th quarter with $302,000 in inventory and your inventory cost for the cost of goods sold was $155,183.80 then your ending December 31, 2015 inventory would be $146,816.20...NOT $14,695.12. A difference of $132,121.08. Where did this inventory disappear to?
PLUS, you can't compare the inventory numbers to the 1st quarter 2016 financial statement because they filed the documents without page 5. Page 5 is missing. This shows paragraphs 7 and 8.
Paragraph 7)
Describe the Issuers Facilities
Assets (this is where the inventory was listed)
Paragraph 8)
Officers. Directors and Control Persons
Absolutely unacceptable. Both in the unexplained disappearance of inventory and the sloppy filing of the documents.
No accountant or bookkeeper (Caren Currier) should ever have signed off on this.
To me, it's CRIMINAL!!!
But the sheep will follow the wolf to the slaughter house.
So stop telling us you did your DD. If any of you underwater longs did, then you wouldn't be underwater.
Stop believing what Zalemark and Steven Zale says. Stop believing the dumb and dumber chart guys. Stop listening to other sheep. Read the financial statements. If something doesn't seem right then question it.
Zalemark is insolvent...there is no chance for them to recover.

Did any-of-the sheep-call Ernest Martel to-find-out-why-he-quit?
Now that would be doing real DD for an investor that thinks Zalemark has longevity.
Ask him when he thinks his "reveal" book on Zalemark and Steven Zale will be completed.
I believe someone had posted his cell phone number. If you can't get it and want to call him, I'll track down his number. Let me know.
Questions: Profesionsl Fees, Salaries-and-Wages and-Travel-Expense.
Click on the link and see for yourself.
1st Quarter 2016:
https://www.otciq.com/otciq/ajax/showFinancialReportById.pdf?id=155115
1. "Professional Fees...$79,050". Who was this paid to? This is a huge amount for a company that had no sales. Where did Zalemark get the funds for this?
2. "Salaries and Wages...$52,500." Again, who got this money. And for doing what? How was this paid? I thought no one received actual money...they were all sweat equity people that were getting stock for their "non performance".
3. "Travel Expense...$11,899.71". What trip was taken and to where?
I certainly hope it wasn't to Bangkok to see his other family. It would be nice to see a trip to Bentonville, Arkansas to see Wal-Mart. Or, maybe to Akron, Ohio to see Kay Jewelers. Or, New York to see Bloomingdales, Saks and Macys. I just don't think it's right for a "pleasure" trip to Thailand at investors expense.
And look at the Business Filings, Business Licenses and Permits...both totaling $8,000. I would like details on those payments.
I won't even go into the $30 for "Cost of Goods Sold"...????
And why "Filing Fee SOS NV...$400"? Is that $400 to the Secretary of State for Nevada? If yes, then why didn't Zalemark renew their ability to conduct business in California with the SOS there where they say they have office space with Super Bell. Nothing makes logical sense.
But the bottom line tells it all: in three months they lost $163,506.03. (Where does does that "Net Other Income" penny come from?)
Big deal that they have Crayola and M&M's. In one year they couldn't sell any Crayola product and since the beginning of this year they haven't sold any M&M jewelry. Steven Zales branding concept is as idiotic as he is. It ties Zalemark into trying to make minimum quarterly royalty payments when they haven't made any sales.
Tell-me-why ZMRK is-still in-business? Insolvent. No-revenue or-sales.
Jewelry that has no appeal. Never a profit...only huge losses. Over $8,000,000 underwater. And led by Steven Zale, a convicted drug dealing, cocaine dealing felon. Plus, Mr. Zale plead guilty to embezzlement charges.
In addition, Caren Currier and Raymond Ruiz signed off on the financial statement. If anything is wrong on that statement then Steven Zale can claim it wasn't him that signed the documents...clever.
Not very smart of Ms. Currier or Mr. Ruiz.
Note to desperate underwater longs: so tell me again why you think the PPS is headed north?
