He sees what we have been talking about. The stock has been very tradable off support.
And on December 8th higher still? LOL. This stock is now in a trading range from a penny to .025.
This news has produced a selloff. It's pretty clear Downs is a lying scumbag.
So, in other words, they are so hungry for sales, they have no distributorship fee or minimum requirements? Yeah. I can see the flash drive must be going over great. LOL!
I wouldn't buy one. The software was written in Pakistan (a big time terrorist haven) and according to the Clowns PRs, is made there as well. Who knows where your sensitive data could end up? IMHO, some fanatical muslim terrorist could infiltrate the Clowns facilities and steal your bank access records and the next thing you know, could be vacationing in the Sudan on your money. Such devices should be made in the USA where the FBI can oversee much better. No independent lab has even tested one of them. How do we know there is not a backdoor key to all your data? Maybe they are data mining a large fingerprint library to falsify new passports worldwide. For all I know, my fingerprint could be used to allow some guy named Ahmed on a plane somewhere. These are all crucial considerations. Until the FBI passes off on these things, it is way to risky, I think.
Who has done the background checks on Clowns three employees? (that's all he has according to Dunn & Bradstreet).
Clowns himself couldn't even oversee any security measures. His probation officer won't let him leave Florida without permission, I understand.. He must be a flight risk.
lol. Welcome back to the board. The Clowns saga continues. Those timelines present a major problem for or favorite grand theft felon.
A lawsuit would allow the truth to be made public once and for all. Dicsovery would enable everyone to see the true financial records of this scam, to find the real ownership of the HLS Worldwide myth, to see the real ownership behind the WSA bidding war scam, to retrieve the truth about true amount of autos on 995ad.com during the entire PR parade of lies, to retrieve the trading and banking records of Laura Brickley, Patrick Downs and furthermore, the identities of many of the posters on this site, RB and HSM, and etc etc etc etc etc etc. There have been so many lies here that it would take a month to list them all. And why wouldn't it? Patrick has been telling them for more than a year.
I say, bring it on Patrick. With the truth exposed, a case can be put together for sending you where you have always belonged. The microcap market is not your private ATM machine, Mr. Stock Fraud Felon.
Note to jagvik. I hope you have not been making idle threats. Encourage Downs to file and we will all meet in court. We can't file and get squat in the way of info. But PaTRICKS can file and we would thus have our right to defend our statements. In that defense, we would have the right to the truth. The truth is going to be a bitch, too. Unless Patrick can prove we are wrong, IDWD can't begin to argue for damages, even though his lies have been so proficient, there are none. PaTRICKS would seal his own fate. I would love it. Unlike you Jag, I know the law. I have been schooled in it and have the experience to know the legal ground upon which I stand. You are so offbase with your not so subtle threats it is laughable.
Most of the oil stocks are still consolidating the gaind from earlier in the year. The oil itself isn't really pulling back much. It's only a matter of time before the stocks react to the crude prices and resume upward movement. In the meantime, its probably a good time to accumulate many of the.
Dunn & Bradstreet is the industry standard. Given the refusal of Downs to honor his promises to file which were to have taken place during the third quarter of last year, Dunn & Bradstreet is all we have.
Downs has lied about many things. The lie about the filing is just one of them.
Note to Jag. Tell Downs to bring it on. I have a few surprises waiting for him. lol
I have so much information on this scam it is going to be a royal blast to make all of it part of a public record. Ths isn't the first scam I have helped to bust, btw and I dont give a darn about his or your threats. Do you really think I am a rookie at this? The microcap market needs to be cleaned up. It's not a private ATM for every convicted grand theft and fraud felon who decides to rip off unsophisticated investors.
You should really encourage Downs to do this. Discovery might be the only way the financial records of this convict can be brought into the light. It's darn sure you haven't been able to see them in filings.
I'll make sure Fox News shows up for the show too. It seems Downs forgot to tell them a few important details. lol.
This stock has a fire under it right now. Just a little higher and it will have doubled in the past week. The news is very good. I don't understand why MGMX isn't trading at much higher level.
Metals prices are still very high and show no sign of weakening anytime soo. Many think they will continue upward for years.
The market has been lulled to sleep. Oil isn't really going down right now but its not going up either. AOGS has been bouncing off its support area for the past month. One strong move through .10 and it should have a whole new trading range.
Denying the truth and bragging about the stock price increase which is due to all the scamming on Downs's part is much like saying you are doing great because your cocaine shipment was successfully smuggled into the Everglades and that the DEA and FBI are a bunch of inept losers.
Even a half brained witless fool could not deny Downs has been lying all along. To claim victory in light of this would be disgusting.
Downs has the Scarface mentality. He would probably take that as a compliment. It's not.
Knobias doesn't do hit pieces. They just tell it the way they see it and have earned a lot of respect. I laughed my rear end off when I saw UVHDowns slamming their filings. Downs has been promising filings on IDWD since the summer of 2005. All lies.
Dunn & Bradstreet says that last year the international empire of IDWD only did 190K in revenues--a far cry from the lying claims of the stock fraud felon CEO who runs this scam. I do more than that myself. What a POS joke on humanity this stock is. Anyone who would pump it is a criminal, IMHO.
Why don't you give it up? The stock is solid right now. You can say it's going sub penny, you can say ragzoo was right. You can falsely claim you own it at .51, you can bitch and wail until the cows come home. The stock is parked until the company makes good on its conference call.
The rumor is the silver, lead and zinc mine is a monster. World class, even.
Another rumor has it that the ore deposits are so big the company will dump its other properties and concentrate on the motherload payoff at the same mine.
Another rumor has an investor accumulating over 2 million shares under .035
Another rumor has it that the Canadian shorts who first appeared at Stockhouse would lose their asses.
All just rumors, but the rumors could easily be true. Time will tell, my little friend.

IDWD, Don’t Quote Me on That
Today’s story probably isn’t going to help anyone make money, but hopefully it will be informative and ward off any uninformed investment in certain Pink Sheet quoted (well sorta) stock that seems to generate more questions than answers.
In current market conditions, Over the Counter (OTC) and pink Sheet stocks are not as widely followed as other names on the NYSE, NASDAQ, Amex and OTCBB. One reason many OTC and Pink Sheet stock carry more risk is the lack of verifiable information and regulatory oversight. Investors and analysts should feel apprehension when investing in unregulated, often unsubstantiated claims. Outrageous claims, unfulfilled promises, and sometimes, outright fraud by a handful of penny stock operators has given the entire small-cap space a bad name.
This unfortunately leads to less money invested, less trading liquidity and punitive valuations for even the best small-cap names. If only there was more transparency, oversight and truth. This is where Knobias attempts to help investors make informed decisions based on reliable due diligence.
Case in point ... IDS Worldwide Inc (otc: IDWD) first appeared on our RAiDAR screens a year ago when the company gave quasi revenue guidance of $25-30M with an EPS of 21-23c and announced that they might even revise that upward. IDWD has yet to release any credible financial information. The company also announced a buyback of 5m shares of stock and a move to the OTCBB (even though the previous month they announced a move to the NasdaqSC or Amex by Q4-05). At the time, the company’s automobile portal (995ad.com) was noted as being the 2nd largest automobile site on the web.
In Sep-05, IDWD announced a major expansion into China with its 995ad.com site and that a 10M share buyback had been completed instead of the 5M previously announced. Guidance was confirmed, but not revised upward, although there were 5M less shares outstanding. In Oct-05, IDWD announced a special dividend following “sale of the company’s homeland security division for $41.5M.” At the time, shares were trading at 10c until IDWD noted that the minimum dividend would be 87c per share. In the same month, they changed their name and symbol to IDS Worldwide, Inc. (otc: IDWD).
Fast forward a few months when IDWD announced an increase in their dividend payment to $1.10 along with an IPO for their 995ad.com website (IDWD traded around $0.50 at the time). The next month, IDWD announced the acquisition of two overseas distributors, a $50M distribution agreement for the healthcare industry, a security contract in Pakistan, and the acquisition of a 100,000 sq ft facility. They also released a clarification on the qualification of shareholders of IDWD to receive shares of the 995ad.com and suggested an impending registration statement. To our knowledge, IDWD has NEVER filed with the SEC.
In Apr-06, IDWD announced that it received three different offers, each one higher in value, to acquire the 995ad.com website. In May-06, an upgraded version of the company’s biometric product was released and the dividend payment date was moved. In June the dividend was supposedly paid, but not in cash, instead with restricted shares of HLS Worldwide. The company then announced unsolicited buyout offers for $1.75, then $2.25, and finally $2.35 per share.
Is this IDWD’s current CEO?
http://www.seminolesheriff.org/drawRegistration.php?registration[rfn]=2613
Repeated calls to IDWD headquarters in an attempt confirm or refute the mugshot identity were ignored. Speaking of IDWD headquarters, be sure to check out the computer rendering (not a photo) of IDWD headquarters contained within their “corporate presentation” on IDS-Worldwide.com IDWD’s press release barrage concerning unconfirmed dividends, spin-offs, contracts, buybacks and buyouts all without a whisper of audited financials, should leave the savvy investor questioning the current $40-50M marketcap.
There are many questions that Knobias would like to answer for our readers, but every offer (at least 50 in the last 3 months) to quote IDWD representatives on every topic has been refused.
Speaking of quotes ... If you want to get a stock quote on IDWD, you’d better not go to the PinkSheet.com website. For some reason the Pink Sheets, IDWD’s primary trading venue, has chosen to publish a WARNING to investors instead of a current stock quote. Go figure.
You see Jag. A lot of people have asked why Downs would scam again since he was on probation for grand theft, forgery and stock fraud until the year 2012. The people who ask such questions are not thinking like a con man.
Downs had a couple of big problems.
One: He was hit with a six hundred thousand dollar judgement last fall. Yep thats right. $600,000,000. He owed it to a bank.
Two: And then there is the little matter of the other several thousand he owed. RESTITUTION for the grand theft conviction! He has to have that paid off before his probation is complete most likely.
Now. You are a very unsuccessful convict. You even filed bankruptcy in 2001 with your wife Laura. You need a million dollars or so. The needlezap scam and the plastics factory scam were a big failure. Working as a pickpocket at the Florida dog tracks is probably out. You are overweight and can't run very fast.
You aren't going to get a job running IBM, that's for darned sure. What can we do?
How about a big penny stock scam?
Makes some sense now, doesn't it jag?
How about that worthless divi jag?
How about the many false promises of SEC filings which were first to be completed by the third quarter of last year? How about that fake fraudulent award? How about the fraud claims of business at 995ad.com? How about the fake claims of the many factories he is supposed to have built? How about the scam with WSA? How about the many fake claims of multi thousand percent increases in revenue? How about all those etc etc etc etc things jag? This guy isn't just unlucky. He is a stock fraud convict.
Just for you Jag. If you think I give a flying flip about the threat of Downs filing a lawsuit--think again. In order to be subject to liability for libel, one must be lying. The truth is an absolute defense.
Discovery would be a blast, now that I think about it. Can you imagine what could be uncovered with respect to his illegal activities?
Email "He bought some shares from Laura Brickley a third party consultant to the previous company. Owed her $50,000 paid $25,000 and when rest was due on September 18th he disappeared. Last I heard she was so mad she was putting out warrant for his arrest."

Big lies. Big scam. Big con.
Here's one link between Downs and his wife Laura for you. Downs's company Biometric Security Systems Inc. is a defunct Florida corporation and is also the registrant for 995ad.com) Bet you never guessed that IDWD doesn't even own 995ad.com. Downs does. Note the connection of Downs and his wife at the bottom of the report.
I have a whole lot more, but you should do your own DD.
http://www.sunbiz.org/scripts/cordet.exe?a1=DETFIL&n1=P03000021816&n2=OFFFWD&n3=0002&...
I think the numbers will be a lot higher. I guess we will have to wait on the report to know for sure.
MONSTER MOVE!! Silver up 34 cents today. The Anita Mine has a huge payload of Silver. This stock could be a very big winner over the next 60 days as metals prices move into prime season.
10Q should be out any day now. I expect it will contain a lot of details about the new oil wells and expected expanded production.
This stock has put on a classic pullback and perfect consolidation with a firm support established at the .078 to .085 area. The 10Q could be the catalyst for a retest of the highs in the upper teens.
You don't know much at all about this story. There was no "one time special dividend" to distribute proceeds of a 40 million dollar sale.
The NASD classified it as a spin-off because the so-called dividend was worthless and the HLS entity is controlled by Patrick Downs.
WSA the other bidder is also not separated from IDWD. It has the same address and phone number as IDWD.
The whole buyout thing is as much of a scam as the phony dividend hype was.
Please stop using multiple aliases here in an attempt to confuse and scam newbies.
If you are so hot to buy the mythical separate company of HLS Worldwide, you can buy into the shell now. It is currently trading under the symbol of PGRD. If you believe PaTRICKS is serious about it and not just pulling a scam, he has an option to buy it for a buck a share through his WSA front company. He only had to put 75,000 down out of which 50,000 is refundable if he backs out.
That shell is going to have a lot of paper dumped on it. There's all those restricted shares. The O/S is going to be hundreds of millions on a fully diluted basis, more than likely. It looks like a great short if PaTRICKS follows through, which he probably won't.
Read the PGRD 8K.
You are way off on your O/S and float numbers for IDWD. Don't be lazy. Call the transfer agent. The float is now 18 million and has been increasing at the rate of about a million shares per month. The O/S is 45.3 million.
PaTRICKS is lying about the float increase being due to old shell owners. He told everyone last year they had 6 million of the free trading shares. Now he claims they had restricted. He is a scamming POS
What crossbow describes is exactly what our stock fraud felon CEO has done. Talk to the transfer agent and read the PGRD 8K filing.
Crossbow thinks that as long as the lies help suck in hapless newbies, anything is OK by him. That's scary considering crossbow claims to be ex-FBI.
This stock has been like a rock even as some of the other oil plays have suffered small setbacks. They have a lot going on and with any upside burst in oil prices, this one could really scoot higher fast.
Richard Russell is the most successful market pundit over the past 30 years. His predictions have been remarkably accurate over the long term Check out what he has to say about Gold.
(especially note the two bold print sections)
Dow theorist says recession may be unavoidable
Wed Aug 16, 2006 4:41pm ET
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Richard Russell is feeling like less of a loner these days.
The founder and scribe of the Dow Theory Letters, which examine stock-market trends, has been warning in recent years that U.S. economic growth would slow far more than anyone could imagine. Many investors and analysts are now coming around to his view, sounding alarm bells about the growing risk of recession in 2007.
Still, Russell differs -- again -- with the masses.
The U.S. economy can hardly avoid such a slump, he said, as it grapples with elevated energy prices and a housing market slowdown in the face of an already indebted consumer.
"We are in for a major recession," Russell said in an interview with Reuters. "I don't think we will get a soft landing in housing. There is just too much debt as far as the consumer goes -- and there have been tons of speculators in the housing market."
The severity of the U.S. housing downturn is being grossly underestimated, he said, and the numbers are unfolding. On Wednesday, the Commerce Department said home construction fell in July to the lowest level in almost two years. Housing starts dropped 2.5 percent, more than forecast, and building permits declined 6.5 percent, the most since September 1999.
What's more, the United States faces huge deficits in its budget and current account, which will put pressure on the dollar. So far this year, the greenback's nominal value against a basket of certain major currencies is down 7 percent.
"No country can keep running up debts and deficits the way we are doing and still be a strong reserve currency," said Russell. For that reason, "we are going to have a panic for gold as the dollar runs into major trouble. This country is not addressing the deficits and debt situation at all."
He sees gold as a "long-term holding" and forecasts that the metal will ultimately hit $1,000 an ounce.
"If you don't have any, I would buy it," Russell said.
In early 2004, Russell advised clients to hold cash and gold, which he called "as cheap as dirt" at $400 an ounce. On Wednesday, spot gold traded at $630.90/631.70 an ounce.
In New York, the COMEX December gold futures contract <GCZ6> settled at $639 an ounce, up $6.10, or 1 percent, after climbing as high as $643.
STOCKS WITHIN THE BEAR'S GRASP
Meanwhile, the Dow Jones industrial average is locked into a trading range because the market lacks "any consistent buying," Russell said. Stock indexes need to trade lower "to the point where the institutional money sees real values, and they are not seeing that right now."
This year, the Dow has crossed above or below 11,000 about 18 times.
"The market can't get anywhere -- and when that happens, you have to get lower prices, where institutional money is willing to come in," he said.
The Dow hasn't been a complete slouch, though. For the 12 months ended June 30, it has posted a total return of more than 8.5 percent. But as Russell sees it, the rally in the past 12 months -- and in fact, the gains in the last three-plus years -- amount to nothing more than "an upward correction in a continuing bear market."
Russell's observations may be grislier than others, but they typically command attention. Russell has done more than anyone to popularize Dow Theory, the analytic system developed in the late 1890s by Charles Dow, founder of The Wall Street Journal, which is published by Dow Jones & Co. (DJ.N: Quote, Profile, Research). The company also owns and maintains the blue-chip Dow average.
Dow Theory aims to identify the primary trends in stock markets, lasting from one to several years, and stipulates that the Dow Jones Transportation Average <.DJT> must "confirm" a high or low in the Dow industrials for a trend to last.
Even after a rebound in the transports -- but not before six weeks of significant declines -- Russell said investors aren't falling over stocks for the sheer fact that they now have competition with bonds yielding around 5 percent.
For instance, the Standard & Poor's 500 <.SPX> is trading at more than 17 times earnings and sporting a dividend yield of less than 2 percent.
"That is more of a characteristic of a bull market top than a bear market bottom," Russell said.
U.S. Treasury bills and notes offer twice the yield provided by the S&P 500. That's why many companies are trying to increase their dividends to become more attractive relative to other asset classes, he added.
"The fact is, in 7 1/2 years, the S&P has gone nowhere," he said. "When you get a situation like that, people want to get paid for sitting -- and they are not getting paid."
Russell himself is not going to keep still. He advises clients to sit on cash and short-term Treasuries with huge exposure to --surprise -- gold.

lol That's the problem, crossbow. His PRs are always designed to confuse neophytes. It is very obvious he does it on purpose. He says things that no one who really was doing the business would ever say.
There has to be a tender date established. The market is not just set up to benefit his scams. It is also set up to allow proper mechanisms for traders, MMs, specialists, investors, etc.
Downs is a damn criminal. He is a con man grifter using our securities markets to run a big con that is probably making him rich. He has lied so many times there is no way one who has followed the story for more than a couple of months couldn't get the picture.
Have you phoned the transfer agent to see who really controls HLS? Others have. lol It's your boy PaTrICKS.
Yeah I watched it. I noticed that Downs never mentioned the drive was actually bult by other companies and that his part of it was "made" in Pakistan factories (according to his own PRs). He represented it as the product of "a local company". But isn't it by his own PR admissions a Paki product? Nice omission. NOT!.
There is no way in hell I would put one of those on my computer. Any kind of a phone home ET function could be part of it and the next thing you know, some terrorist organization could have access to your banking records and all online banking access codes. There is no security in the land of Bin Laden.
Screw that.
Who would ever trust anyone in Pakistan to have this much control and potential backdoor access to your comp?
Even visiting the IDS-Worldwide website often leave my IE unstable. It sure seems like some funny business going on there.
Sorry crossbow, but you must have no understanding of the rules whatsoever if you would believe that. They would not be allowed to do it.
Downs is up to his usual con man tricks of trying to confuse people into thinking they need to buy the stock because one day they might wake up and it will be too late to buy this scam to get to participate in the mythical buyout. All he is really saying, however, is that one day he might anounce they have accepted the deal. He has already done this this anyway, but there is a problem. No escrow money. No tender offer. No dates. No nothing as usual.
The other big problem is that HLS Worldwide doesn't even exist outside of Patty boy. Ask the transfer agent. He will tell you if you ask. It's just that most people do not think like the convicted swindler Downs and would never dream of asking the question. However, you must ask yourself why the NASD would qualify the fake dividend as a spin-off to begin to realize you must ask the question.
Downs is a master of illusion. He should do a show in Vegas when his probation officer finally allows him to travel, if ever. Maybe he can entertain fellow inmates if they send him back to jail.
Downs is running a scam and has been since day one. His PRs are intentionally designed to confuse and mislead investors with lies. Don't help him out by posting interpretations of the PRs which he wants disseminated in a misleading fashion.
It looks like all the sellers are gone. This stock is going up on next to nothing. That's a good sign. Only three asks under .03 left
Gee Bol. Downs has paid pumpers spreading all of his BS PRs around the web. Even one of todays PRs has a rate schedule linked to the bottom of the PR which explains what their pump costs:
Contact:
C.P. Barry
Company: http://www.IOCircuit.com
Phone: 1.888.478.7669
If there was a done deal for the buyout and insiders were taking an interest in HLS post buyout, it would be to their benefit not to waste money or cost HLS anymore than necessary for the buyout to complete.
There has been no escrow money put up for the buyout. There has been no 5% filing from anyone on this stock, not even from HLS, (which Downs must currently control). HLS must not believe they are buying the company for 2.35 cash or they would have been scooping up the cheaper shares for months.
You have paid pump on the boards telling people that they will just wake up one day and it will be too late to tender their shares if they do not already own them. Downs even suggested this illegal BS in one of the last PRs.
The fake dividend, which the NASD said was a spin-off because HLS Worldwide didn't exist as a separate entity is STILL WORTHLESS and it was not in a "Nasdaq Exchange Company" as Downs promised in PRs it would be.
Downs said HLS would file financials shortly after June 15th and file an SB2. There have been no filings.
UBSS, CLYP and ABLE are dumping shares like madmen. The float is going up by millions of shares--even increasing when the O/S does not (which is proof that shares are coming off restriction).
The current short interest almost directly coincides with insider selling 1% rules based on volume considerations. Arb programs exist which allow con men like Downs to sell their stock offshore ahead of monthly restrictions being lifted.
Now I know that a used car salesman such as yourself knows little about the market or securities laws, but what would any rational person with an IQ above 65 think? It's easy Bol. Use logic.
Probably Downs dumping. UBSS has already sold about 150K of shares this morning. The 76 thousand was a clean up print from them.
UBSS sells thousands of shares daily and has been selling heavily ever since the dividend/spin-off scam was run. They have stepped up the selling on the buy-out scam. The market is telling us that the buy-out is s sham. UBSS, ABLE and CLYP are telling us that someone has millions of shares for sale. I wonder who that is?
http://www.otcbb.com/asp/tradeact_mv.asp?SearchBy=issue&Issue=idwd&SortBy=volume&Month=7....
The buyout scam is interesting. Downs first announces a bidding war for IDWD between HLS and WSA. WSA, it turns out (according to official PGRD SEC filings), is located in IDWD offices and shares IDWD's primary phone number.
HLS, it turns out, is owned by Downs and their website is registered in his personal name. The transfer agent, says the explanation for the fact that Downs is HLS is that he is "fronting for a group of foreigners who currently have no offical company presence, until that presence can be established." This is what he has been told by IDWD, but there is no proof HLS is anything but another sham front like WSA.

Now, before you say something about HLS using Downs hosting company and this explains it all, keep in mind that websites have to be registered in the name of the company which owns them. This has been the case ever since new rules established in the advent of Sept 11th.
As far as today's news goes, according to previous IDWD PRs, the flash drive is completed in Paki factories. Pakistan is the epicenter of world terrorism and there are rules against US Govt agencies using security apparatuses which are not made and manufactured in the US.
The local news spot? What does some local reporter know who has not done his DD? It could have all been arranged in return for Downs promising to buy a certain amount of local advertising time in exchange for the coverage. The reporter is just reporting on items of local interest and any good PR agent could have set up the news spot, especially in exchange for promises of advertising dollars.
I wonder what Fox National is going to say when they get the real IDWD story?
Shakerzz already told his devotees that "IDWD sucks azzzz"
He told them that yesterday morning when the stock was obviously being dumped very heavily by UBSS and CLYP. Downs is cleaning up on this paid pump campaign.
It's an interesting formula. You just lie about a buyout by using a couple of other companies under your control. Then you hire a big batch of paid pumpers to spread the scam. You sell like crazy using big arb firms like UBSS who can carry the shorts from offshore and you deliver the stock as it comes off restriction.
Downs is a slick willy.
That is absurd. If there was really a deal, the shareholder value is already increased and topped out at 2.35.
Downs is looking for suckers and it looks like he has found a whole lot of them as a result of his huge pump campaign.
The company hasn't just found it necessary to pump this nonsense buyout on its own. They have a lot of paid pump helping. One of the PRs today was from the IO Circuit. Those guys even have a link to their ticker spam price schedule at the bottom of the PR.
If there was a real deal, why would it be pumped to the point that it cost HLS a lot more money to buy the open market stock????????? They haven't even done any 5% filings either. Why would Downs even spend the money to hire paid pump if the company was being sold??
This buyout is a scam, IMHO. Downs is the legal owner of HLS Worldwide according to my sources. It doesn't even exist as an arms length entity. So, he had WSA and HLS in a "bidding war" for the IDWD. WSA was located in IDWD's offices and shared the same phone number. Downs is the registered owner of the HLS Worldwide website.
This doesn't just smell. It reeks.
The dividend was a big scam. It wasn't worth 1.10, nor was in in a "Nasdaq Exchange company" like he promised for months. Now he is working the buy-out scam and it is so preposterous that posters like MicrosoftEngineer are bragging on HSM that his "tactics" are designed to bring in "new tiers of shareholders"
UBSS has been dumping merrily all the way throughout, as well. Last month, they handled over 3 million shares of stock in this scam.

Rumor has it that Downs' favorite movie is "The Sting"
Here's a start. There are more that I can see, but any dunce could get the point.
Pink Sheets won't even quote the stock on their official website because Downs refuses to follow their promotional information requirements.

IDS Reports HLS Security Services Continues Astounding Growth Rate
Aug 9 2006 10:55AM ET
EVERYONE KEEP IN MIND THAT DOWNS IS A CONVICTED FELONY STOCK FRAUD, FORGERY, AND GRAND THEFT FELON. HE IS CURRENTLY SERVING A 20 YEAR TERM OF PROBATION FOR THESE OFFENSES IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA. HE CAN NOT TRAVEL WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF HIS PROBATION OFFICER.
If there was really a deal for 2.35 cash, why have so many pumpers been hired? Wouldn't the deal take care of itself? And worse yet, hired pumpers running up the price would prevent HLS from buying cheap stock and saving money until the tender is made. There has been no 5% filing out of HLS, despite promises they would be buying for the past two months. They don't own any stock to speak of yet.
Since Downs has said the IDWD insiders would accept HLS stock and bonds for their shares of IDWD, this is costing his new interest a ton of money. In other words, if he owns a lot of HLS, why would he want to pump IDWD up and hire pumpers to pump the baloney buy-out, thereby screwing HLS and himself?
Seeing so many hired pumpers on this stock all over the net leads me to believe this buy-out is a total scam.
Watch out for the dump. It's most likely got to be less than one day away.
I find this whole story hilarious given the fact that just a month or so ago, an IDWD long over on HSM visited the HLS Dubai office and reported that it was in a small old white building and was occupied by (as he put it) "a short and fat but friendly Filipino girl" and contained space for a desk.
It is even more interesting given that information I have collected suggests Downs currently officially owns HLS Worldwide and at best is just fronting for some unidentified foreigners.
WSA turned out to be a total scam located in IDWD's offices and using IDWD's phone number as their own. HLS Worldwide may well be another.
The fake "dividend" is still worthless as we know. Bol sure hasn't stepped up to the plate to buy the dividend shares for a mere 40 cents after he pumped to this board for months they were worth 1.10, has he?
UBSS is not a known "illegal short seller". They are a big international firm that runs arbitrage programs for financing and insider selling out of Europe, though.
The float is increasing substantially while UBSS dumps. The O/S is NOT increasing likewise. Do the math. it's an easy call. This isn't even a finance deal.
Downs and his buddies are HLS right now. HLS doesn't even exist as an outside entity (arms length) according to the information I have been able to accumulate.
That's why your dividend is still worthless and doesn't even trade. It's also why the NASD quantified the "dividend" as a spin off. There was no dividend.
UBSS and CLYP must not believe the BS (or the sellers they represent sure don't) For the past couple of months, UBSS has been selling stock like there is no tomorrow. They still are.
Who has that kind of supply? Patty Downs does and the float has been going up like a hot air ballon.
UBSS dumping stock like the world's going to end tomorrow.
JEFF even in on the dump party today. lol

ECONOMIC PREVIEW
Hot and cold of the economy
Inflation is going up, while home building is cooling off
Last Update: 12:01 AM ET Aug 13, 2006
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Whether you think the economy is too hot or too cold depends on which number you look at.
The economic calendar in the coming week will provide both kinds of numbers, economists say. If the data come in as expected, expectations for growth, inflation and the Federal Reserve probably will end the week pretty much the way they started.
The big number is the consumer price index for July, which will be released on Wednesday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. Economists are looking for unrelenting inflationary pressures to push both headline and core price indexes higher.
The calendar will also bring the July data on housing starts, which should show continued cooling of the housing market. The housing data will be released at the same time as the CPI on Wednesday.
The Fed is counting on the economy to slow in coming months to reduce inflationary pressures. Further rate hikes are a possibility, especially if the economy does not slow as much as forecast, or if inflation accelerates.
Inflation
"If they are driven to return to rate hikes, it will be because of pressures on the prices side of the equation," said David Bezic, an economist for CIBC World Markets. The markets will be watching the CPI numbers especially closely for clues about the likelihood of higher interest rates this fall.
The CPI is expected to rise 0.4% in July after a tame 0.2% rise in June, according to a survey of economists conducted by MarketWatch. See Economic Calendar.
A 0.4% gain would actually reduce the year-over-year increase to 4.1% in July from 4.3% in June. Consumer prices have been rising at the fastest pace since the early 1990s, a chief reason why the Fed hammered out 17 straight increases in interest rates before pausing last week.
Energy prices were the culprit in July. Gasoline prices averaged a record $3.03 a gallon in July after $2.93 in June, enough to push energy prices up 2% for the month, said Brian Jones, an economist for Citigroup Global Markets.
Core inflation - which excludes food and energy costs - is expected to rise 0.3% for the fifth month in a row. A 0.3% rise would bring the year-over-year gain from 2.6% up to 2.8%, the highest in nearly five years.
The inflation rate is about a half percentage point above the Fed's comfort zone.
Jones said higher medical and shelter costs (especially rents) fueled the gain in the core rate.
But David Greenlaw, an economist for Morgan Stanley, disagreed, saying that the core rate should be "a bit better behaved this month largely as a result of anticipated softness in the key apparel and motor vehicle categories." Greenlaw is predicting a 0.2% gain in the core rate, maintaining the 2.6% year-over-year gain.
Most economists expect core inflation to drift higher in coming months. "It won't be long before core CPI holds a 3% handle, as it will take time for a softer growth picture to feed its way into inflation," said CIBC's Bezic.
It'll take a significant slowdown in the economy to bring inflation down to the Fed's target, said Jan Hatzius, chief economist for Goldman Sachs. Hatzius said the Fed seems to be expecting "immaculate disinflation" if it believes that inflation can fall without an increase in economic slack, including more unemployment. Hatzius said he believes the Fed is now internally forecasting below-trend growth, a change from its public forecast delivered in mid-July that saw growth stabilizing.
The most recent data threw some cold water on the theory that the economy is slowing significantly. Retail sales were stronger than expected in July, and the manufacturing sector continues to boom. With the economy growing at a 3% pace in the current quarter and inflation accelerating, "it's hard to make a convincing case that a fed funds rate of 5.25% marks a stopping point for the Fed instead of a pause," said Stu Hoffman, chief economist for PNC.
Housing
Further slowing in housing could cool consumer spending. All of the housing data show a sharp drop-off from record levels of building and buying last year.
In July, housing starts are expected to decline another 2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.81 million from 1.85 million in June. It would be the lowest level of new construction since November 2004, and would be down 18% from the peak in February 2005.
On Tuesday, the National Association of Home Builders will release its monthly sentiment index. In July, only 39% of builders were optimistic about the market, the lowest in 15 years.
"Homebuilders are becoming increasingly discouraged," said Drew Matus, an economist for Lehman Bros. "Increasing mortgage rates and high home prices have hit affordability."
The big question for policymakers is what impact the dead housing market will have on consumers. Some say the blow will be minor, representing only a "modest headwind," in the words of Morgan Stanley's Greenlaw.
Others say the downturn in housing will hit consumers hard, especially as they have find it increasingly difficult to borrow the money they need to support current spending. "U.S. consumer spending seems set to collapse under the weight of excess debt," said Diana Choyleva, an economist for Lombard Street Research.
Other data
Industrial production was likely strong in July, if only because utilities were working overtime. It was the second hottest July in a century. Industrial output probably grew 0.5% in July, while capacity utilization likely rose to 82.6%, tight enough to create some inflationary pressures. The data will be released on Wednesday at 9:15 a.m. Eastern.
The first two looks at factory sentiment in August will likely show moderate growth. The Empire state index is expected to fall to 13.8 from 15.6, while the Philadelphia Fed index is expected to rise to 7.5 from 6.0. Readings over zero indicate growth.
Consumer sentiment probably fell in early August as gasoline prices rose and job opportunities weakened. The University of Michigan index is expected to drop to 83.7 from 84.7. The index will be released Friday morning.
Producer prices probably showed the same basic trend as consumer prices, with higher energy costs pushing up the headline figure more than the core rate. The producer price index is expected to rise 0.3% with the core PPI up 0.2%. The data will be released Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.

As I have said on these boards before, copper is a huge deal. The world copper supply is under a lot of pressure from India and China. Let's take a look at current supply trends over the past week.
On the supply side, gold inventories were down 121,020 troy ounces at 8.19 million troy ounces as of late Thursday, according to data from the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Silver supplies rose by 731,562 troy ounces to 102.1 million and copper supplies were unchanged at 6,756 short tons.
As you can see, the market supply is short of copper. Given the rising demand from India and China, unless something gives on the supply side, you should be able to see copper soon hit 4 dollars and stay there. This is just one of the indicators of the huge, massive inflation we have been seeing in basic goods since 1999.
If average people had any idea how badly the dollar has really performed over the past six years, they would be hoarding all precious and industrial metals and rioting in the streets. Inflation is out of control. The official government numbers on inflation are a big lie.
The Fed has printed at least two trillion extra dollars this year in an attempt to mask the totally absurd economic policies of our government. We have monster deficits in trade and budget. If it were not for the demand for the "petro dollar"(the world pays for oil with dollars, at least for now), no one would want our worthless currency. Believe it or not, rising oil prices are the only thing that keeps our currency afloat.
The place to be is metals. How you play them is up to you. Jr Miners like EAGM are a big gamble. But if they can do it right, these small companies can offer the greaest return potential. It wasn't all that long ago that RGLD was trading under 2 dollars per share.
