Steven Zale needs-to go-back to-prison and-learn a new-skill.
He is so full of hot air. He could get a job in the laundry squeezing f&rt$ out of underwear.
Always B.S. press-releases. Here's one from-mid last-year.

Not one store from the above list ever purchased anything in 2015 from Zalemark or Crayola.
Steven Zale can write a Press Release but he can't design or sell product.
But some heavily invested underwater longs like to keep the myth afloat, hoping to get other suckers to buy in and move the PPS higher.
The Crayola "National-Product-Launch" was-a year-ago in Las-Vegas.
Super Bell tried to sell it then and failed miserably. Crayola and Zalemark had a big invitation only "event". Again, a HUGE failure. NO RETAILERS PURCHASED THE JEWELRY.
Steven Zale is both inept and incompetent. He has never made a profit. Only bankruptcies and insolvencies.
Any Crayola jewelry in stores? No Super-Bell sales?
The amount of business from Super Bell will be negligent. They have approximately 1,000 accounts that they have sold to. That doesn't mean that they have 1,000 current active accounts. The current estimate is that their total yearly sales is in the $3 to $5 million range. Could their sales increase by more then 10 to 15%...possibly. Any more than that is highly unlikely. Super Bell will then have to pay expenses and commissions. No big profits in this deal. There really can't be any net profits because of the enormous debt that Zalemark has occurred in the past. Steven Zale and his Zalemark sweat equity team are incompetent. No sales, no profits...only stupid press releases and excuses. And "wishful thinking" by naive investors (who can't read and understand financial statements).
This time-is no-different from all-the other-times. Crayola-included.
Steven Zale has never delivered on any past press release.
No audited financial statements.
Never any sales from any "jewelry brand" that turned a profit.
No "new" sources of funding.
No $50,000,000 plus in sales last year. That was a pitiful press release.
All his "name brands" haven't sold anywhere.
Huge insurmountable debt.
But yet you still have foolish investors believing in him.
Show me something positive. Not wishful forward thinking.
He is an inept leader that never has shown a profit.
Trails of bankruptcy's and failed businesses.
A big talker that has never been able to perform.
Close this sham scam company down and send him back to prison.
Why-does the price-drop when "big-news" is-released? Always has.
You have stated to "buy on the rumor" and "sell on the news". Are you "rumoring"?
$PETE: Mr.-Zale is-not a nice-guy. He-is-a con-man.
You just haven't found that out yet. The "magic" that Steven Zale has is that he makes money disappear. Ask all the investors that have lost millions of dollars if they still believe Zale is a "nice guy".
$PAND: Thank-you for your meaningful posts. I-appreciate your-wisdom.
$DJPB: you and I plus-a-few others-are diametrically opposed. I get it. I don't understand it, but I get it. I just can't believe or understand why you believe in Zalemark. I think you have your head buried in the sand. Logic just doesn't make sense to you. But that's OK. Buy more shares.
BTW: do you have an estimate of sales for this year. You previously stated "huge". Last year Zalemark projected well over $50,000,000 in sales. We know that didn't happen but what do you think sales will be for this year?
I disagree. Zalemark has no sales or money.
Zalemark formed an alliance with Super Bell about a year ago and never had any sales. No major retailer bought or tested Crayola jewelry since its preview in Las Vegas in May or June of last year. The jewelry and the concept is not right for the fine jewelry retailers. If it was, someone would have purchased it already. None of the press releases have ever come to fruition. Read the past press releases and read the unaudited financial statements.
Steven Zale has always left a trail of destruction behind him with bankruptcy's and failed businesses.
$DJPB: could you estimate what "huge-revenue" means-in actual-dollars.
Give me an idea of what you would estimate for Zalemark's fiscal/calendar year ending at the end of December of this year.
Include Crayola and M&M's. I assume you would be including the sales from Super Bell and any majors.
OK, let's talk.106,470 at $0.0077. Keep drooling.
PPS jumped-on 1,000 share ask-slap. Keep drooling on-yourselves.
The chart looks-like crap. Because Zalemark is crap.
ZMRK is in quicksand with it's overriding debt. There are no sales, only losses that keep mounting. Inept leadership that has no credibility. No ability to borrow money. Always giving out false or phony promises.
Read the unaudited financial statements. Negative retained earnings and a net income loss amounting to a NEGATIVE $8,000,000. Zalemark needs the PPS to rise dramatically and stay at a high level for quite some time. To do that they need concrete revenue (sales) so they can tap into the Kodiak funds. They also need to have audited financial statements and file certain SEC required documents. This can't happen when you have "cooked the books" for as long as they have. They can't get the sales as the Crayola product is just not saleable for fine jewelry. The product has been available and in the market for close to a year without sales. And the M&M necklace/pendant featured in the press release is unsalable. Steven Zales branding concept has never made money. It's time to close this scam business down.
Any of the non-saleable jewelry in stores yet?
The desperate longs have had their heads buried in the sand since the third quarter of last year. All they can say is it's coming soon and to have patience.
Zalemark is led by Steven Zale, a self professed ex con who went to prison for dealing large amounts of cocaine and who was also arrested for embezzlement. Also arrested for carry a gun. Something an ex con is not supposed to do.
This company is DEEP in debt. Has no liquidity and no orders.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel.
$DJPB: Is it still "very-nice"? Told you the PPS would go down with a news release.
$Steal: still-thinking this-week will start-off with a bang?
My impression was your post meant an upward movement.
It seems like the bang was an implosion.
Low Float PPS can go-down just as fast.
You're posting old-news. Zalemark: $8,000,000 UNDERWATER!
Read the latest financial statement. And that is unaudited. If it was an audited statement it would show a lot more liabilities. HUGE debt...current liabilities are 4 times their current unaudited assets. ZMRK has no chance of survival.
If his designs were good, Zalemark might-have sold-something.
The designs aren't compelling enough for any major retailer to give the product case space. I really do mean it when I say Steven Zale is inept. He hasn't had one successfull business...EVER. All his endeavors have led to bankruptcy or closed businesses leaving huge debt to his creditors.
There can't/won't be a merger...too much debt in the current business. Plus why would anyone want to get in bed with Steven Zale. You can't trust what he says. No credibility. Not one press release ever came true that made money. ZMRK is over $8,000,000 UNDER WATER. He only knows how to piss away money.
I still say bankruptcy is inevitable.
Pete: it-only gives-you "chump-change". No-serious volume to-make real-money.
The funny-thing is, I don't believe a-word they-say.
Way too many contradictions in their previous posts.
I can only go by what they have stated in the past.
Have-Patience: we have-been hearing that-for months and months.
There is no credibility left to the cheerleaders saying that. All their Zalemark predictions have gone south not north. They have tried to manipulate Zalemark by slapping the ask for 1,000 shares or less just to get the stock to close higher.
This company has way too much irreversible debt to continue. If they could read and understand a financial statement they would see that.
And BTW: You can't bank patience.
Charts and Press-Releases are not Relevant. Sales-are Relevant.
And there has been none. Try posting the names of stores where consumers can purchase Crayola jewelry. The product launch was supposed to be in the third quarter of last year. It never happened and it's over six months later and still no product in stores.
This company is a loser as evidenced by the PPS and their unaudited financial statements.
Super-Bell & ZMRK ride-in on-their white-horses to-save-the "ailing-independents".
I just re-read the press release. So Steven Zale and Lo Huang combined their parallel paths to support the ailing independent retail jewelers.
What a joke. How are they going to do that? Only with "wishful thinking".
They got together about a year ago and nothing happened...even though investors were promised a Crayola launch in the third quarter of last year. The jewelry being shown is "laughable" certainly not "saleable".
The proof is that no retailers purchased it. The styles and pricing aren't compelling enough to get any retailers OR consumers to buy it. It's not fine jewelry. There are way too many other better and well positioned jewelry brands to compete with. The retailer just doesn't need what Zalemark has to offer. Plus the fact of being associated with a known drug dealer who hasn't had a successful business is just not good business sense.
So Steven Zale is again doing what he knows how to do best; losing money. As my research and PROPER due diligence show; he has always lost money. I can read and understand financial statements and I can also read and see through B.S. press releases. Zalemark is a losing company...always has been. Steven Zale (an ex con that was sentenced to three years in prison for selling huge amounts of cocaine and arrested for embezzlement) has bankrupt and also closed numerous business's and left HUGE unpaid obligations. He is inept. And so are the other "sweat equity" people in the Zalemark organization. It's obvious, as they can't get "real paid employment" any where else. And the longer they rely on Steven Zale, it just fortifies their ineptness. Who would hire them with their track record. Either they have been "had" or they are part of this scam.
Smart investors know this. They are not about to put hard dollars into Zalemark. No "whale" is going to invest without seeing a potential profit. They don't invest in "wishful thinking". The whales eat the small fish investor. There is just to much debt to overcome. There is no operating capital. Only continuing losses.
Bankruptcy is inevitable.
I love days like-today. The stupid cheerleaders are-silent.
All their idiotic posts about support levels around two cents or you're going to get left behind if you don't buy now are just desperate posts by investors that have lost enormous amounts of money (whether they will admit that or not). Zalemark has no future. Too deep in debt to crawl out of the hole Steven Zale has dug for this company. I am not against Crayola or M&M jewelry. It could be a viable product BUT only for kids jewelry at a very inexpensive retail. The "crap" that is coming from Zalemark hasn't got a chance of selling as fine jewelry. Way too much competition in the marketplace.
Read the annual financial report, between net income losses and negative retained earnings Zalemark is $8,000,000 underwater. Sorry Mr. Martel and Mr.Ruiz and the other inept sweat equity people. You just don't have the brains to know it's not going to happen. And you don't have the brains to know it can't be fixed.
Get some "cahones" and tell Steven Zale to shut it down.
As posted in-the-past. The PPS-ALWAYS drops-after-a press-release.
The desperate longs shouldn't want "news", as it always means a price drop is coming.
Zalemark has no funds to support any type of marketing campaign. Products don't sell without proper advertising and marketing promotions...and that costs money. But the inept Steven Zale thinks he can solve the small independent retailers issue of fighting online sales by giving them Crayola and M&M jewelry. He is an idiot. He can't solve his own issues. Look at the trail of bankruptcies and closed business that have left HUGE unpaid obligations to the people that gave him credit. He is the epitome of the word "failure". His branding concept has never worked. The more research I do on Zalemark and Steven Zale...I just can't find anything positive.
Low-float loser. Smart investors saw the PPS manipulation.
It's too late for Zalemark. Too much debt to survive. Can't trade stock for funding from Kodiak. Huge losses still mounting. Inept leadership. No audited financial statements. JTV lawsuit still open. Zalemark surrendered their right to conduct business in California.
No Crayola sales. No M&M sales. Non saleable fine jewelry. Only wishful thinking by loser investors.
Super Bell must be desperate also. Why would they get in bed with Steven Zale, a self admitted cocaine dealer that served three years in prison. And also was arrested for embezzlement.
The jewelry looks unsaleable. Both M&M's and Crayola.
As I have mentioned before; the branding idea is terrible. Some things just don't translate to jewelry.
Another losing concept from the inept ex felon Steven Zale...who spent three years in prison for selling large amounts of cocaine. And, who also was arrested for embezzlement.
$ZMRK: "Beware the fury of a patient man".
Author: John Dryden from Absolam and Achitophel...1680.
Investors have been "patient" with Zalemark for years. You can't take patience to the bank. Sometimes you just have to take the "hit" and move on. It seems like long term investors have had enough "patience" and are getting out.
$ZMRK low float: equals hump and then dump.
A lot more red than green...if you know what I mean.
$Pete: post-some more-charts and-old Press Releases that-never materialized.
I-Glow is right again. The fake run fizzled-out.
All fizzle but no pop. But then again, it's the "oh, please have pity on me person running the show". The inept Steven Zale. Who couldn't even stand up and admit he screwed up when he sold huge smounts of cocaine to undercover officers. He had to blame that on someone else. But he did serve three years in prison. And don't forget he was arrested for embezzlement. Steven Zale has no credibility left.
And the PPS has-sunk to new-lows along-the-way.
Steven Zale is inept as well as everyon working there.
Always big promises but only delivering losses.
Read the financial statements.
$ZMRK: All Wishful Thinking Posts. No Substance At-All.
There is NOTHING to indicate future success.
I-disagree. Zalemark is-led by-an inept-team that-will continue-to lose-money. They are not "astute" business people.
Steven Zale has never made money EVER off his branding concepts. He has left a trail of bankruptcies and dissolved company's that owed millions to unpaid creditors. This company is too deep underwater to survive. There is no future. Investors have been hoping for a miracle for years but the PPS is still declining. All the desperate longs have left is wishful thinking.
TWELVE, "countem"-twelve-1,000 desparate-share trades-today to-try-and prop-up-the PPS. And it still didn't work.
Zalemark isn't anything. If "dumb and dumber" could read and understand the phony financial statements they would understand that this company is drowning and they don't have a life jacket. The annual financial statement clearly showed a NEGATIVE $8,000,000 in income and retained earnings. That is a LOSS of $8,000,000. ZMRK accounts payable totally out weigh their accounts receivable by a HUGE "red flag" margin. There are still no sales. Which means more losses. And the creditors want out. They can't trade useless stock for anything. Plus I hear "on the street again" that the sweat equity people are grossly unhappy getting a small amount of worthless stock (which is still restricted) as their Christmas present.
If the loyalists want to BANK on anything...it should be Bank-ruptcy.
The-word on-the-street is-three past-due creditors may-file an-involuntary bankruptcy. That is what I am hearing "on the street".
Possibly others have heard the same thing and that is why we are seeing some serious selling/dumping.
Still no Crayola in-any stores. It's all "wishful-thinking".
Zalemark is losing millions...read the financial statements.
The Super-Bell affiliation was announced in May of last year. Still no sales.
Zalemark is a company without a foundation. And it's led by the twice convicted felon Steven Zale who was arrested for dealing drugs and embezzlement. He has had no success in the jewelry industry...only failed and bankrupt companies. Without sales, the branding concept will still cost Zalemark minimum royalties to be made to Crayola and M&M's. More losses coming.
No audit coming.
No funding from Kodiak.
No major store sales.
No profits.
Only desperate longs that are hoping for the miracle that won't happen.
