CKN - Cash Systems. Friend of mine turned me on to this stock and I bought at $3.00. Slowly rising.

ESMT - ESmart Technologies. Their financials are not pretty but their technology is one of the best in the market. Whether we like it or not our world is heading towards personal identification. This is a pink sheet stock, so, there is much risk. They also have an electronic passport that they just introduced.
Here is their website, take a look.

MSFT - Microsoft. With as much cash as they currently have, somewhere in the 50 billion range, this stock is priced very low in my opinion. It is only a matter of time before they begin to purchase other companies or branching out into new fields.
IDGE: .0025 x .0027
IDGE: Watching it with you EZ. Own quite a few. eom
ESMT: Bought more at $1.00. Rumors that more good news and possible addition of countries right around the corner.
GSPG: Back in. Looking for a possible .05 to .10 gain if past performance is correct. Already up .08 today.
Myst,
That thought is never new is not correct. If so, then we would never have developed. Our technology would never change. We are human becuase we are able to think original thoughts. Where do computers, cars, trains, boats come from, original ideas.
Your theory contridicts itself because new religions would never be developed if it were not for new ideas. Just look at Greek Mythology. Where did these God's come from. Original thought.
By the way. We are all individuals, not by thought but by genetic coding. Even twins at the genetic level are different.
"What Matters?" As I am not a religous man, I firmly believe that what matters is family, friends and the people you see on a daily, weekly or monthly basis and interact with. Treat each with respect and dignity and you will find yourself in a more comfortable community. I know the check out people at the grocery store by name, we have conversations. The milkman, mailman and neighbors are all on a first name basis with me. Do I get to know them well, no, but each have hardships and joys in their lives and I respect each person for who they are.
Do I get ticked off at the lady driving on the freeway at 35mph. You bet I do, I am human. Do I then tailgate and ruin my day by getting all worked up, no.
God creates problems. So many religions, so many people saying I am right you are wrong. If we all just allowed each other to believe or not believe and kept it too ourselves and those around us that believe as we do, the world would be okay. But humans are unable to do that. We must prove we are right, your beliefs are wrong or flawed. We must convert because God wants me to save your soul. My soul is already saved because I do not believe I have one, but I do have a heart and I do care for those around me.
What matters? Each of us matter. Each of our seperate lives, our desires, our wants, our grief, our pain, our pleasures and joys. We are idividuals. Someday I hope the world can see that and allow each other to live in peace and respect others for their beliefs.
(Of course I do not want people to say, well murderers believe in what they are doing, blah, blah. You all know what I am saying.)
ESMT: Website update with news from the CEO. Give a read.
www.e-smarttechnologies.com
ATNG: Appears that BK has been dismissed as of this morning. Should see press release tomorrow. Rumor out that other news will also come available in that PR. Bought some here in the .01's going to ride to .03's.
GM: IDGE News on website. Should hit press this morning. Bought up a few for a quick run.
CMKX: One hour and no nibble at my .0001. Don't want to up my bid yet, will wait for tomorrow.
Google going public. News finally out. To own this stock, better watch Race for Your Life Charlie Brown. If you are not in at bottom, it is going to sail. I will be watching from the side lines for a while.
ESMT News: More Good News:
e-Smart Technologies, Inc. Demonstrates New 'Super Smart Passport(TM)' to the Public Today at CardTechSecureTech
4/27/2004 10:43:00 AM
LAS VEGAS, Apr 27, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- e-Smart Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: ESMT), http://www.e-smarttechnologies.com/, and its affiliate, Homeland Defense, Inc., are pleased to announce what they believe to be another world's first, namely, the world's first market-ready "e-Passport" that authenticates its holder's identity via its own on-board fingerprint sensor and on-board biometric matching system both powered WIRELESSLY without the need for any physical connection for power. Communications between this new passport and immigration authorities' computers takes place wirelessly as well.
This new design in e-passports has been named the "Super Smart Passport" and utilizes core e-Smart patent pending technologies developed for e-Smart's Super Smart Card(TM). These technologies operating on the Company's heralded BVS2(TM) platform (the one interoperable, secure platform needed by government to route all of its information services), create a system that makes tampering or counterfeiting of a Super Smart Passport(TM) virtually impossible. If required, either in addition to the fingerprint biometric for extra security or instead of a fingerprint biometric, the "dual mode" Super Smart Passport(TM) available in June of this year will, when used with a reader and video camera combination, be empowered to do facial recognition using the Super Smart Passport's(TM) on-board biometric matching engine.
Product demonstrations are already being made to a select group of government agencies in a number of countries. e-Smart has signed an agreement with the Government of Kyrgyzstan for deployment of its BVS2(TM) platform, its Super Smart Cards(TM) and for deployment of the Super Smart Passport(TM) and entry visa systems and is in final negotiations with three other countries for the deployment of similar systems. The Super Smart Passport(TM), together with other e-Smart products, will be on display this week at the CardTechSecurTech trade Show in Washington D.C.
Mary Grace, CEO, e-Smart & Homeland Defense emphasized "With Terrorists entering our borders as good US citizens, using real US passports and driver's licenses obtained with false documents or virtually undetectable fake passports and driver's licenses, our nation and all citizens are in danger." Ms. Grace went on to say that "Unless a viable solution is implemented now, this danger will increase until another disaster besets our nation. Other countries see e-Smart's/Homeland Defense's systems and technologies used in combination as the solution to not only identifying and stopping terrorists at their borders but also stopping criminals from stealing people's identities and money. The American people should have at least the same level of protection. e-Smart's/Homeland Defense's revolutionary Super Smart Passport(TM) is a good first step to accomplish this."
ESMT NEWS:
e-Smart's BVS2(TM) Platform and Super Smart Card(TM) Selected by Kyrgyzstan for Multi-Application e-Government and National ID Card Programs
4/12/2004 9:08:00 AM
LAS VEGAS, Apr 12, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- e-Smart Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: ESMT; "e-SMART" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully entered into a "Framework Agreement" with the Republic of Kyrgyzstan for the provision and operation of the country's e-Government and National ID Card initiatives using the Company's advanced biometrically empowered Super Smart Card(TM) and Biometric Verification Security System(TM) ("BVS2(TM)") platform.
About the size of South Dakota, Kyrgyzstan is a Central Asian country of incredible natural beauty and proud traditions. The Country was annexed by Russia in 1864 and achieved independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Kyrgyzstan has a population of approximately 4,900,000 people of which about two-thirds are of age fourteen or higher. Kyrgyzstan has made much progress in carrying out market reforms and was the first CIS country to be accepted into the World Trade Organization. Phase one of the project calls for implementation in the major cities and the issuance of approximately 1,500,000 Super Smart Cards(TM). Operations are slated to commence within six months after e-Smart completes a final country study which is already under way.
Kyrgyzstan's President, Askar Akayev, when asked about this new agreement with e-Smart, stated, "As part of our modernization program, we are constantly seeking ways to improve the lives of our people. In this vein, we have been seeking to introduce modern e-government and e-payment systems to our people, while avoiding the pitfalls of mis-identity and identity theft that currently plague such systems." President Akayev then went on to say, "After an exhaustive search to find the right system for our Country lead by our First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Communication, Kubanychbek Jumaliyev, e-Smart's products were selected due to the advanced and unique technologies offered by e-Smart."
Mary Grace, President and CEO of e-Smart stated, "We are extremely proud to provide our BVS2(TM) platform and Super Smart Cards(TM) to Kyrgyzstan. We thank and commend President Akayev and First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Transport and Communication Jumaliyev for their wise decision made in selecting e-Smart's products." Ms. Grace added, "Once our systems are implemented and Super Smart Cards(TM) are issued to its citizens, we believe that Kyrgyzstan will become a model for all of Asia -- and the world for that matter -- of what a non-invasive, nationwide, personal biometric identity verification system can add to the convenience, safety and stability of society today."
The agreement is the result of the joint efforts of e-Smart's wholly owned subsidiary and hub for Asian business activity, e-Smart Korea, Inc. and Kyrgyzstan's Ministry of Transportation and Communication, acting on behalf of the Country. Because the BVS2(TM) and Super Smart Card(TM) are deemed one of a kind products, and as e-Smart is the sole source for each in Asia, no tender is required for the contract. The Agreement is based on a "BOT" model with e-Smart operating the system for a minimum of twenty years.
ESMT: Filings up to date, review accepted. Press release out. This company has a lot of potential. Dig deep and look at what is happening here. Samsung, Daewoo, China Ministry of Information. All of this is strong.

e-Smart Signs New China Deal
3/29/2004 12:53:00 PM
LAS VEGAS, Mar 29, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- e-Smart Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: ESMT)("e-SMART" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a "Cooperation Agreement" with two Chinese corporations, one principally owned by entities controlled by the Chinese Ministry of Information Industry ("MII") and another principally owned and controlled by Chinese persons involved in media and public relations in China.
e-Smart is the exclusive supplier for Asia and the USA of the Biometric Verification Security System(TM) ("BVS2")(TM) platform, featuring the Super Smart Card(TM), believed by e-Smart to be the world's only commercially available smart card with an on-card fingerprint sensor and a full on-card system for biometric ID verification that has both ISO 7816 contact and ISO 1443(B) wireless compatibility.
The MII was created by virtue of a reorganization that took place in March 1998 by merging the former Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, which oversaw network standards and access, and the Ministry of Electronics and Information, which oversaw computers and software (and by divesting the resulting ministry of responsibility for postal administration and the telecom trunk line network). MII is now described as "a super-agency overseeing telecommunications, multimedia, broadcasting, satellites, and the Internet."
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement and Chinese law, the parties will establish a Sino-foreign cooperative joint venture (the "Joint Venture") in Beijing, China, and the purpose of the Joint Venture shall be to: 1.) operate a value-added network or networks that allow for the nationwide roaming and operation of e-Smart's biometrically powered multi-application, secure ID & payment smart cards (i.e., the Super Smart Card)(TM) in China, 2.) promote the system and technologies in the government and financial sector, 3.) maximize its usage in as many fields as possible.
The parties are currently applying for the necessary licenses, approvals and permits within China for the operation of the Joint Venture and the required export permission or exemption from the U.S. Preliminary indications from relevant agencies of both governments have been very positive and while there can be no assurances yet at this early stage, the Company anticipates both a timely and a positive result.
Mr. Zhuxinsheng, Managing Director, of the MII-owned company, said: "The leaders of the People's Republic of China were probably the first in the world to envision such a nationwide system with its Golden Card Project plan, but the advanced technology was not available when the vision was first conceived. e-Smart's BVS2(TM) operating platform, coupled with e-Smart's Super Smart Card(TM), is the first and only technology we have seen that can make that vision become a reality. We look forward to partnering with e-Smart to make an important contribution to China."
Ms. Mary Grace, e-Smart's Chairman and CEO, went on to say, "We look forward to a close, long and mutually rewarding cooperation with our partners in China. We believe that together we can make a significant contribution to the PRC and the Chinese people by providing e-Smart's biometric system and multi-application Super Smart Card(TM) to insure both the identity verification necessary to protect society and to prevent ID theft and financially related crimes and to facilitate and enable one of the most advanced efficient e-Government systems in the world.
ESMT News out. eom
Although I do not trade the number of shares lance and omni do, I still find FreeTrade a great trading system. I have had no problems with them since the two months I signed on. My commissions are so low that I can trade out earlier and earn money.
I was with Ameritrade for one year, switched out because of the commission fees. I really think you would like this lance if you can give it a chance.
Personally, if I had the money to do it, I would probably have two or three accounts for four to six months to really see which one was the best, until that time, go FreeTrade.
Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplins, Fried Okra, Creamed Spinich, now that is eating, and a heart attack all in one!
Please keep posts to stocks. I do not want to delete messages.
ESMT: Purchased more at $.95 eom.
VIGSF: Just got off the phone. Take with grain of salt as, we all know that these companies can sometimes be, well, a little dishonest, lol.
Website will be back up in 10 to 15 minutes, down due to technical issues. They are aware of stock drop, but, she only stated that it was probably due to there last SEC report regarding the March 31st date of funding needed. She would not talk about whether or not funding had been found. English is obviously her second language.
Asked for CEO, explained I was calling for a larger group of stockholders, not in office. I will contact again tomorrow.
Scott
Will do.
VIGSF: Do not know what is happening. Website is down, and no one answering the phones at the office. Does not bode well at this time. I will keep trying to contact.
Scott
Lurking for a while. Market too topsy turvy for me right now. I am still here, just watching.
Hockey,
Have not jumped back in...yet. I am following very closely several Homeland Security Stocks, as I believe they will be big gainers in the next few years.
Last time I checked, January time frame, they were sitting at about 15 million shares. This could be higher now, let me know if you can get some definite numbers. Member marked your board.
Scott
GSPG: Buying more for the next run to .90. Becoming a weekly event. Buy at .79 sell at .91
Hockey: Held this stock back when I got reversed split and name change. I kept thinking it would turn around and show some real product. I finally sold at a loss and have watched it drop ever since. I don't know if they are going to be one of the real players in this market.
I was most interested in their capture nets. They are pretty interesting for border control and possible use to deter high speed chases.
GSPG: Becoming quite the fun swing trade. Twice now picked up on the cheap. Hold to a dollar. It is becoming a great fun trade.
FGWC: Has had good news from this stock, just can not break out of the trenches. Still holding shares, will wait and see what is happening in the near future.
FGWC News out. eom
ESMT News: I do not know what to think of the latest news. Great news just days ago, then wham. Will wait and see what all this means.
OFCC News, this sounds like great news, got in early on this one, looking forward to good things in the near future.
Goodmorning hubbers :)
ESMT: 2.00 x 2.05 Spread is tightening nicely.
