Zoloft,
Regarding "two in favor", the PR about the board member vote says two voted for the current offer at 3.125, and one voted against "IN FAVOR OF PERSUING OTHER SUITORS", so it seems all three are in favor of at least someone buying this out.
jc
...Don't know, Zoloft,
I think I read that the O/S can't be increased until this thing plays out. If so, there has been no dumping and it would incline me to believe the offer is real.Has anyone checked for 8K's to see if any insiders have been selling? But honestly, I don't know any more than what we all can get from reading the PR's.
I did buy some shares when this all came out, as it seems likely to be legit.( But not TOO big a position...LOL)
Good luck,
jc
Yes it's real.
The vote isn't in yet, so it isn't CERTAIN.
That's why the price meanders around.
If the vote is a "yes" it will be worth $3.125/ share.
jc
Have another drink Martin...LOL
jc
What do you think is going on here?
http://www.pinksheets.com/quote/filings.jsp?symbol=ZKID
...the dump fest continues...JD unloaded another 255,000 sh.
jc
LOL...who would have thought...cell phones.
This just keeps getting better all the time.
If the BRIT and MARTIN keep updating the decals on their trucks,
they will soon resemble the pop ups and banner ads that will be all over the ZKID site pretty soon.
jc
TheBrit...I wonder what they will come up with for the High School and College age crowd?...Watered down Paris Hilton?...
...Spritual Spring Break Online?
This is a laugh a minute. I cant wait to see what they come out with next...LOL
jc
THEBRIT...
What is so "innovative" about the concept of making Britney Spears and such like garbage (http://www.britneyspears.com/) available to "Tweens" on the internet? Ever hear of GOOGLE? What do kids need ZKID for to help them find "Pop Culture" on the internet? ...Kid safe internet...BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAH...LOL
This is going nowhere...LOL
jc
Martin,
That's all well and good. You are free to daydream about this all you want. But if you want to drag faith into it, I will give you my answer.
1.Jesus said "The prince of this world cometh , and he hath nothing in me".
2.Isaiah said "Lift up your eyes unto Heaven and look down upon the earth".
3.Abraham sat in his tent door in the plains of Mamre, while Lot intertwined his life with those of the Vale of Siddim.
So, Martin, to whom do you ascribe the better ability to judge things correctly...those who PURPOSELY have no "vested interest", or those with a "vested interest" in the situation they are trying to fairly describe to others?
Here's another one for you:
"...From who's hand have I taken a gift at any time, to blind mine eyes therewith?" ( Samuel said that)
Judgement and money do not go well together Martin.
jc
flaflyersfan,
Isn't that interesting...after putting out that PR about waiving a salary and expressing confidence in the future prospects and value? Why sell now?
Also, isn't it curious that all the boards were buzzing with individuals claiming to "know" that huge news is imminent? They were almost frantic in the way they exhorted us to buy now, or miss the boat. And all the while, the new CEO is selling...interesting...
jc
Bob...Of course what you imply is possible. But I suspect he is just stuck. Although, I have heard of individuals being rewarded with company shares for relentlessly touting on chat boards.
I even know of someone who was , in a round about way, offered five thousand dollars by a CEO to STOP posting on the boards about his so-called company! LOL (...of course, he didn't take it...)
jc
...A vested interest? Do you mean a position? Of course not. Do I sound like some kind of fool or huckster? Since catching them in the "SharingWay" fibs, I do have a lingering curiosity however.
What's your purpose here?
jc
Martin,
Current share price does not determine whether a stock is a bargain or not. It's all in the fundamentals. Revenue,yearly growth,increasing client base,market sentiment, so on and so forth. Have you never heard the old market axiom, "never try to catch a falling knife"? You ought to give that saying some thought.
When a stock is at a low, it does not constitute a bargain without finding out the reason for the low.
jc
Martin, it doesn't tell you anything about the market. It only tells you what PC magazine thinks about the companies it rated.
If you care to note, CITC has already lost 2/3 of it's opening share price. I think it is just another attempt to play the "kiddie internet" card. I suspect it will be trading for pennies by year's end. There doesn't seem to be much of a market at all for this concept...not enough to propel a public company to lofty heights.
The failure of any of these companies to get wheels tells you about the market...or the lack of it. You have to look at it as an investor, not a cheerleader, to see it correctly.
jc
LOL...eom
jc
Again, I am only speculating about CDVJ doing a R/M , but if it were to happen, You would be issued new shares in exchange for your CDVJ shares at whatever the ratio of outstanding new shares are to old CDVJ shares. Let's say CDVJ has 1000 total shares outstanding and the new company will have 100. For every 10 shares of CDVJ , you would recieve 1 of the new company.
Last year CortDev R/M'ed into PAVP and changed the symbol to CDVJ. At that time there were 34,000,000 shares outstanding. Now there are 3,400,000,000. This monsterous dilution along with the endless PR's that are , in my opinion, complete fabrications, have driven the price to near nothing.
I personally believe this is and was nothing more than a stock manipulation from day one. Ther never was, and never will be anything of value. CDVJ has raised millions selling stock, and not one penny selling a product or service.
You may want to go to the Raging Bull chat board and follow the old PAVP posts as well as CDVJ. If you can wade through the nonsense, you will find numerous posts of people who did research and posted findings along the way. It may also interest you to know of Cortellazzi's criminal past:
http://CortDevInfo.notlong.com
I do not know who created that site, but the news articles are real.
jc
A Reverse Merger. I believe They may absorb CortDev into a new company shell , change the name and trading signal, and restructure the share count in order to facilitate a continued pump and dump. I am only guessing.
No, I am not invested. I bought a lot about a year ago, did some research, and dumped it all when I found the CEO unable to tell the truth about anything. At the time, there were 34,000,000 shares outstanding. Now there are something like 340,000,000,000. When I sold, it was at .011 now it's worth .0001
I am glad I got out when I did. This is a scam.
jc
This is a pink penny scam, no other way to put it.
I suspect they will R/M into another shell soon and keep on peddling paper, if you get my drift.
A successful pump and dump...yes.
A successful COMPANY...no.
jc
LOL...eom

Metals & Arsenic Removal Technology Develops Lightweight Portable Water Filtration Unit for use by Military Personnel
New device offers an easy method for campers, hikers, and individuals to obtain clean water
Raleigh , N.C. – February 22, 2005– Metals & Arsenic Removal Technology (MARTI) a HydroFlo, Inc. (OTCBB: HYRF) portfolio company has developed and filed a U.S. patent for its latest technology, Filter and Treatment System (FATS™). This lightweight portable device has been designed to withstand extreme conditions including an 18 mile per hour drop and is made from materials that will withstand states of high wind velocity and heat conditions to ensure possible usage of the device by military personnel and civilians existing in extreme conditions.
Drinking water in many geographical areas is not safe. Water is often contaminated with nitrogen, bacteria, odor, discoloration, and even arsenic. Early purification processes included boiling contaminated water or only removing specific contaminants. FATS™ is a single system that treats, filters, and conditions water without extensive wait time for the user. It removes arsenic, metals, and other contaminants found in untreated water. Initial laboratory tests also confirm that FATS™ removes all bacterial pathogens. Further tests are currently being conducted to determine if viruses are completely removed by this technology.
”MARTI’s new technology can be used by anyone unable to obtain clean water,” explained George Moore, Chief Operating Officer of MARTI. “It is a highly portable unit approximately 2 inches in diameter by 2 inches in height. Its construction can consist of either a titanium alloy or another lightweight material allowing it to weigh approximately 4 ounces.”
The usage instructions for FATS™ are extremely simple. Contaminated water is deposited into the top of the unit, and it runs through a series of filtration media within the apparatus. Once filtered through all layers of the internal removal technology, clean water is then deposited from the container into any receptacle.
“Everyone should be able to obtain clean water. It is our hope that by providing this new technology we can present military servicemen and women, and anyone who is unable to find clean water, an easy, safe, and efficient way to process pure drinking water,” commented Moore . “In such extreme conditions as a battlefield, or the devastated areas stricken by the horrific tsunami, the safety of any water supply is critical.” Moore explained, “The new FATS™ unit can provide the security so desperately needed in these areas.”
Dennis L. Mast, CEO of HydroFlo commented, “MARTI’s cutting edge technology provides a simple and effective manner for purifying water that can be utilized around the world. We look forward to providing this new device to those who need to purify their water and welcome discussions of this and all HydroFlo technologies with investors.”

Metals & Arsenic Removal Technology Receives Order for Arsenic Removal System
Thursday February 17, 8:45 am ET
RALEIGH, NC--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 17, 2005 -- HydroFlo, Inc. (OTC BB:HYRF.OB - News) today announced that its portfolio company, Metals & Arsenic Removal Technology, Inc. (MARTI) has received an order for a large Arsenic Removal System from an industrial client in the eastern United States.
ADVERTISEMENT
The order was received after the pilot study and laboratory testing of the affected waste stream showed that arsenic was completely eliminated by the MARTI Arsenic Removal System. It reduced the contaminant levels, which were originally as high as 6 parts per million to levels that were undetectable. The unit cost is for more than $600,000 and is expected to be installed and operational within 60 days.
"We continue to see requests for system quotations from potential clients worldwide as an understanding of the dangers and health effects of arsenic become known. The MARTI technology is being used successfully, protecting and saving lives everyday," commented George Moore, Chief Operating Officer of MARTI.
The flow rate the unit will treat is in excess of 250,000 gallons per day and can be expanded in size if necessary, due to increased flow. The type of unit designed for this customer can be used in any industry with a need to remove arsenic from their discharge waters. This technology can also be invaluable to municipalities that have the need to eliminate arsenic from drinking water to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency's requirement of maintaining arsenic levels of less than 10 parts per billion by January 26, 2006.
Dennis L. Mast, CEO of HydroFlo, commented, "The installation of a MARTI system assures a client of one of the most cost effective methods for water treatment to the nations. We look forward to establishing open lines of communication with potential clients throughout the world to whom we can provide this necessary service."

???ZKid logos on the Shagmobile???
I'm not Canadian, but I am Scottish ancestry. In fact, I am practicing the bagpipe chanter right now. I take a break from practicing once in a while to check the boards. You know, there are a lot of Scots in Canada...and Fat Batstard was Piper...plus, when it is warm I like ..."shorts"...looks like my cover is blown...zkidder has ratted me out!
jc
...Shagadellic, baby...YEAH!!!!
"some of the bashers"...you mean me don't you? LOL
Actually I work for Austin Powers, International Basher of Mystery...
...Oh BEHAVE!!! Yeah, Baby...YEAH!!!
jc
Hey, why not imagine 100:1
..no reason not to dream big!
jc
zkidder- Here is another way to look at it. Pinksheets.com puts the O/S at about 36 million. The last place I could find any information about customers put it at about 1000. That would give them $120,000.00 in revenue. At 36 million shares you end up with
a price of 0.0033 per share, NOT a dollar a share.
You can see that the problem is lack of revenue, not "shorty". At .046 a share, this thing is way over priced. Its REVENUE...they need to have a product that people want to use. Now, if you can get current O/S and get the company to tell you how many paying customers they have, you may get a different figure. But good luck.
jc
zkidder,
Every penny stock is being investigated about "Canadian Shorters", didn't you know that?
Come on, use your head. Did the Canadian Shorters craft the bogus PR about SharingWay and the "28 million members"? Did Canadian Shorters cause the removal of the last CEO? Did Canadian Shorters cause every PR about a joint arrangement with other companies to come to nothing?
ZKID has no revenue of consequence, the 10-Q says they will operate at a loss for the forseeable future,it says they need money and will consider diluting shareholder equity to get it.
The stock is where it is because of the way the company does things, but you want to "get shorty". How can you possibly believe it is worth a dollar? ITWO has a market cap of 200,000,000 dollars, is almost at break even and trades at 43 cents. Have you seen their client list? How many clients does ZKid have? Maybe a thousand?
I doubt the verity of your "inside information". After the fraudulent statements in the SharingWay PR, in which false figures were used to give false financial projections, resulting in a run where the ex CEO dumped shares at the top of the run, I suggest you consider it may be the company that is being investigated.
But believe as you will.
jc
Plumber..it is...EOM
zkidder,
Two reasons...
First, someone needs to counter the touting and hype going on.
Second, I would not play this stock because chances of losing money are much greater than making it. And in any event, I don't steal wallets any more than roll over unsuspecting newbies with stock I don't like.
You know, you can do a lot better trading good small and mid caps than waiting on the "next big PR". While you wait, your money is dead. And if the company follows through with the 10-Q and does a big PP before the next pump-a-dump, you will have no way to compete. PP's are always at a significant discount to the market, so they can dump away and make money while you stand by and watch.
jc
jc
Plumber, did you get the company newsletter by email today?
If not, let me know and I can forward it to you.
jc
I have given money to the tsunami victems...what makes you assume I haven't? And like I said, take it up with ZKid. They are the ones puting out bogus PR's. Maybe they will put out something legitimate and honest this time. I will do my best to find out, of that you may be sure.
I am costing you money? What, are you some kind of spider spinning your web ahead of the "Big News"? If that is the case, you aught to be ashamed of yourself. More so if it has happened to you.
Or, if you are just a hapless fool and don't know what you are involved in here, there are books on the subject.
...all my opinion...
jc
...I'm trying to save what's left of your retirement...LOL.
But seriously, don't you think you should be taking that up with ZKID, not me? I merely post as a public service, pro bono. And I am like you, I can't wait for the next PR. I'll go over it with a fine toothed comb!
jc
(OT)...Glad you like it. It's a work in progress. He improves it all the time. I use it frequently.
jc
drvolvo,
I would like to recommend a website maintained by a friend in Hawaii:
www.ddmachine.com
If you visit the site, click on "Book Store", follow the links to "scams" and read the description of "Scam Dogs and MomoMammas". Better yet, order the book. It will provide you a very good look into what goes on with these kinds of stocks. In this day and age, you could open a lemonade stand, call it "Homeland Security Lemonade", make $10 a day selling lemonade, and $5,000,000.00 selling stock in the "company". We see it all the time.
jc
drvolvo,
I have noticed the pattern. It seems the BIG news is always the big news about the upcoming big news (if you get my drift). If that doesn't tell you something, I don't know what does, because the actual PR's have yet to anounce anything that produces clients or lasting relationships with other companies. If I had a truck with ZKid plastered all over it, I would add a big red circle with a diagonal red line in it over every logo, so that I wouldn't feel like a pimp driving my vehicle around.
jc
Oh...but THIS doesn't shock you??::
Form 10QSB for ZKID NETWORK CO
19-Nov-2004
Quarterly Report
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
Plan of Operation
Zkid Network is a progressive family-oriented corporation with offices in Northbrook, IL and Denver, CO. Founded in 2002, Zkid Network set out to provide families with an Internet environment that is safe, fun, and educational. To get a jump-start on this mission, Zkid Network purchased technologies for Internet security from companies such as Children's Technology Group/USURF America and Mozart from Web Safe Technologies, Inc., and then quickly deployed the Zkid Browser.
Zkid Network launched the Zkid Kid-safe browser and is pursuing marketing campaigns to target families directly and also wholesale relationships with B2B partners to get the Zkid Browser in front of millions of potential subscribers. ZKid Network will continue to develop additional content and technology offerings for its internet-based media content site with a focus on increasing the educational and entertainment value to children. This includes, but is not limited to, additional games, cartoons, books in the library and video streaming children's activities for children. In addition, the company will develop additional browsers and themes to accommodate teenagers as well as parents, and provide additional tools to ensure child safety on the internet.
We believe that the Zkid products can be introduced to the public by utilizing co-packaging or co-bundling with other child-oriented products as well as marketing and distribution arrangements through Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The ISP channel provides an internet-enabled audience to distribute our offering. To date, we have signed an agreement with Net Option Inc, based in Milford, IL to provide user support as well as a non-exclusive channel for marketing to additional ISPs, as well as a letter of intent with IVI Communications, Inc of Los Angeles, California. These agreements have an incentive component that shares subscriber revenue. Presently, we have not entered into any other co-marketing or co-packaging agreements. We are currently marketing our KidsKeep product. We believe that our subscriber base will grow in direct proportion to our co-marketing and ISP channel programs. Potential users/subscribers will be directed to the zkidnetwork.com website for registration
Currently, all technology, bandwidth and network capacity is located at secure facilities near Denver, Colorado, with capability to handle 100,000 users/subscribers. If rapid growth were to occur, we would need to purchase additional hardware and hire customer support personnel. We anticipate charging a maximum monthly fee of $9.95 per subscriber. We expect that initial marketing campaigns will offer a free 30-day trial period for potential subscribers. Currently, all technology is designed, tested and deployed by three individuals from the Children's Technology Group/USURF America acquisition who are not under a long term employment agreement with the company. All have signed confidentiality and non-compete agreements.
In the second quarter, we purchased the software rights to the MomsandDads.com software from USurf America, which served as the underlying technology for the Zkid browser software suite and will continue to serve as the platform for future development. The exception to this exclusivity is that one other party has the rights to the source code and may in the future create a similar offering. Although this is a risk, the market is already highly completive and will require a high degree of funding and execution.
There were additional marketing opportunities created to increase corporate visibility, as well as efforts to raise our subscriber base during this quarter. We entered into marketing and sales agreements with IVI Communications, Air Rover Wi-Fi and Deca. We also offered a free trial of our products to Google, Yahoo and Earthlink.
Our short-term cash requirements are approximately $12,000 per month. Our long-term cash requirements will include our continuing fixed operational expenses and marketing expenses associated with responding to subscriber inquiries. The marketing costs will be in direct proportion to the subscriber response generated from co-marketing. The money needed to finance our operational overhead expenses will come from new investors. We may offer common stock on a private stock offering basis.
We are in need of additional cash. We may seek additional capital in order finance our proposed operations. We have not identified any specific future financing sources. Our efforts to finance Zkid and its operations may result in the issuance of equity and debt instruments. This and other future financing activity may result in the dilution of shareholder equity. We expect to incur financial losses for the foreseeable future.
***************************************************************
You sleep well with this plastered all over your truck?
Don't forget to add the quarter-million dollar debt they just took on. This stock is a joke and you are a shameles tout, pumping this trash all over the internet. Shame on you.
