Shadow, I'm wondering what you will have to complain about when the load problem is fixed in less than 30 days?
You didn't answer the question about the secret of selling restricted stock and you still don't understand the concept of uploading information to the public.
I like how you are playing this out. It's quite funny how a simple minded dolt like you thinks. You bash the stock and claim to have a position. When the stock drops, you can claim that you were right. When the stock goes to $1 you will claim that you have shares and you made a lot of money.
I don't know why, but you are a real loser and wasting your time.
Laptop, good work with the site. It really helps get the information out there in a convenient manner. We all appreciate it.
Great work, and I hope you find "your cup o tea".
When this stock hits $10, you can say you built this page. Good work.
Shadow still never explained how insiders are capable of selling restricted shares. He said "there are many ways". Funny that he can't even name 1.
What a joke. He says he's been in the stock market for 30 years. He must have made a transposition error and wrote years instead of months.
He can't answer the question he bears no credibility. Good bye for now. Go ahead and reply and have the last word for now, you lost your credibility to the whole board. By the way, you don't affect the stock price. I'm posting information regarding IDWS' situation and their statements concerning the SOX act. You're bashing without a purpose.
ZERO CREDIBILITY, not constructive at all, and you need help kid.
Very well stated Star. But don't you get it star? The kid, shadow, he just doesn't get it.
Even a 10 year old could understand the concept that information can be entered yet not uploaded. He just doesn't get it. Let him figure it out.
Shadow,
you stated: "Dreaming about the Ferraris and Hummers you are going to buy while you own one of these speculative stocks is a good way to lose your bearings fast.
You are a pumper of the greatist magnitude. No matter how ridiculous the company's claims, you attack anyone who voices genuine concerns that a total neophyte would see. I am seriously beginning to believe that you may be paid to be here and that your "long position""
I say to you: "Bashing is a good way to waste your time. You are a basher of the greatest magnitude. No matter how informative other posters post, you attack anyone who voices genuine knowledge and positive information concerning IDWS. I KNOW that you are paid to bash and to state your negative comments."
Starboy, I agree. I used to complain with the problems of 995ad.com. But I also see laptop's perspective. All the "problems" are arising because the site is so successful. They've captured the 500,000+ cars and 70,000 hotels. It's on their site but not yet uploaded.
To shadow, the 500,000 cars ARE there. The hotels ARE there. They are just not uploaded yet. I have experience with webhosting/webbuilding/design. I'm not an expert but I have my own website and you can enter all the information (ads) but not yet upload them. You need to upload them for the public to see (access and see through the internet). That's webhosting 101 for you. I'm sick of teaching you. If you keep asking questions for me to teach you, I'm going to have to start charging.
To all supporters, can you believe management went out and persuaded 13,000 dealers to post 500,000 ads? Now that's aggressive. Even right now, with 160,000 uploaded ads, that's 5x the amount ebay has (30,000 car ads). 995ad.com will be the portal to everything and will be a profitable monster.
Oh yea, and did I forget that IDWS has other subsidiaries that are experiencing explosive growth and will already give us an EPS of $0.21? Ha, this stock is such a steal it's sick.
Shadow, please explain this to me. How does an insider start selling shares that are restricted? Funny, I know that you won't respond to that question. Everyone watch for his reply that won't even address my question to him. Ha.
Also, if you are not aware of the practice of shorting and the restrictions that were being combated fiercly over the past 12 months, then all I can say is WELCOME TO THE STOCK MARKET. I understand you're new at this and you have a lot to learn.
And I'm sitting tight on my shares and accumulating. It just makes me smile how much IDWS is going to make me with a relatively small investment.
The question I'm wondering is whether I should buy a Ferrari 430 spider or a lamborghini Diablo with my profits? Hell, with the ridiculous profits IDWS will return for me, I might as well buy both. Or maybe I should just go for the Ferrari Enzo. And also, I live in the Midwest, Chicago. So I'll need something to ride through the snow during winter. What do people recommend? How do Hummers drive in the snow? Maybe I should buy a Mercedes SUV instead.
Investing in IDWS will financially open up a lot of new doors.
I understand why people laugh at you. Many people do.
Reason why we are on the PKs,
I'm glad I reheard the interview. I verified what he said. The reason why we are on the Pink Sheets is because of the Sarbanes-Oxley act. Basically, the SOX act states regulations of internal control requirements that a company must abide by for publicly traded companies. Things get messy when you're a transnational and decentralized entity such as IDS to comply to the SOX act. Just think about their international locations. It all makes sense now. Basically what it sums to is that they had no choice but to opt for the PKs. Once their counsel gets everything in order to legally be acceptable to the SOX act, we will be trading on the bbs to Amex? Nasdaq?
Mark my words. What I am saying is that this is a golden opportunity. If you don't understand the situation yet you hold a position, one vulgar way to put it is that you're one lucky bastard. If more people were aware of this situation, these levels would be unreal. Once we get off this exchange, we won't be talking nickels, dimes, quarters. We will be moving along $2 to $5 to $10 to ?? $40-$60 is my target.
Think what you may. But understand the situation. The interviews and the SOX comment really lit a light bulb. This is an opportunity of a life-time. Do what you want. I sit with a smile knowing this information. Even if we get to $0.25 or $0.50 or $1 on the PKS, it doesn't matter. What the intelligent investor should be patiently waiting for is the move to the next exchange which will be so explosive with these low shares o/s. And the dangerous part for people on the sidelines is that it will happen sooner rather than later. I'm assuming Q1/2006. If you don't have that patience, you're a fool. Financially, it will be Heavan on Earth for who get in soon and are patient enough to wait this out for 3 to 6 months.
For anyone who understands why the SOX has given us this golden opportunity, go see interview 1. I guarantee you that this will put a smile on your face, all the pieces will come together, and you will be all over this.
14 minutes and 25 seconds into his first interview, he even says that we should currently be at $2. And this is at a discount. We'll be on the PKs this quarter but once we get off, seriously, watch out for RIDICULOUS levels. My target is $40-$60.
To all new to IDWS, I greatly recommend that you view the video interviews of IDWS on MoneyTV. By the way Laptop, GREAT layout work again. The design is incredible.
Daily fluctuations don't mean a thing. I'm waiting for this thing to take off.
Once we get on the BBs and release a 10Q, we hit $2.50 immediately. Just watch.
You have to just LOVE that EPS.
Now there's something we can agree on.
"All that supply" Shadow? What do you mean by "ALL THAT SUPPLY"? Do you mean all that supply of only 400,000 shares of 4 hours into trading, more than half the day over?
400,000 shares at $0.16 is not even $100,000. It's only about $75,000 worth of trading. Do you consider that volume TOO MUCH TO handle shadow? Wow, what was I thinking!?!? You're right, where's all that supply coming from!?!?!? All $75,000 worth of supply. I mean market makers could not afford to handle those situations, maybe someone's dumping like crazy! I mean $75,000 is so much volume!
You've never answered my question. If you're going to sell and move on, how come you haven't done it? It's so pathetically sad.
laptop you forgot the key statement I stated. If you schematically dropped it, it's a whole new altered paragraph... you forgot to include this statement that I said:
"The best we can do is to address your posts as garbage so that newbies don't fall for it."
By the way, the car ads are real, LOL. I emailed a bunch of them with fake interest to see if I'd get a response. Many replied.
The least we can do is sign up for an account on 995ad.com and also to pretend to show interest to some car ads to let the dealers know that they're getting visibility on our site.
See you all later.

Yes, I've had many spinoff experiences. Usually acts more like a stock dividend than a theoretical mathematical equation i.e. (a $0.20 stock becoming $0.14 and $0.06).
The original stock, being IDWS in this situation, is usually unaffected by the spinoff. If IDWS is $0.20, and spinoff is given for $0.07, I've never seen the original stock drop by equal proportion($0.07). It usually stays the same, that's why I relate it more to the scenario of a stock dividend.
From what I understand, they're trying to spin 995ad off straight to the bbs? Can anyone verify that is what they're trying to do?
I agree micasey123, the ads are exploding. Although the load time is still of major concern, aesthetically, it's looking more enhanced week by week, sometimes day by day.
From what I understand, the data centers will be integrated by month's end. So there will be nothing to complain about pretty soon.
Datatech, you're right. Ebay only has a measly 34,000 total car listings. I did not know this. Looks like 995ad.com at its inception is already has 5x more listings and with the new center, it won't even be comparable.
That was a good observation.
And to all others, I don't believe 995ad.com will be a direct competitor of EBAY. Ebay is an auction site. 995ad.com is an advertising site. Clear difference.
995ad.com will be more direct competitors against strictly advertising sites such as realtor.com and/or carsdirect.com. Comparing 995ad.com and Ebay is comparing apples and oranges.
Datatech,
Hi Data. Thanks for the private message. I agree with what you're saying. I can no longer read this board without having to hear basher nonsense disrupting the board, can you please private message me your email address, I have few questions that I don't want skewed and stretched by bashers.
Thanks Data.
Shadow,
I'm very sad that the RB board came here. I will no longer argue with you. You can have the last word, I don't care. You're a great stock picker and you're brilliant and the best! But I will still accumulate IDWS. Have fun, bye.
By the way, 995ad.com's homepage is really coming along. It's looking much better than 1-2 days ago. The homepage looks much more professional this way. Good changes. Evolving everyday. Good improvements.
Has anyone used the "get assistance" feature? I know I have and it's wonderful. It's just too bad that the people are offline 95% of the time.

These were the spotted changes.
You're right, they've only added 7 cars. That's funny. Why would they do that? Just 7?
Are they waiting for the new data centers to upload all the listings (and the hotels) all at once? Is that their agenda?
Laptop, never mind, it wasn't important.
Charts are for day day traders, why would you be day trading a stock with a float this low and volume this dry? We're for the most part, longs here, so take your chart BS elsewhere.
No way, the small float is what will drive the price up to RIDICULOUS levels. On a buying frenzy, it will be quite easy for you to unload.
Laptop,
Please private message me your email address. I have something to ask you concerning IDWS. What I want to ask you may or may not be anything, I don't know. I just want your personal opinion.
So get back to me,
Thanks.
We're holding pretty well on Alexa. We're ranked 63,000 today. Looking pretty good if you ask me. Looks like we're gradually getting more regulars to visit.
Also the banner ads are amazing, particularly on the car section. Great stuff, and you have to just love management on this company.
Hey Laptop,
Nice work with the layout of this page. You really made it quite impressive. The DD will be much easier for new comers that will rush in anytime soon.
You know what's funny.
On 995ad.com, go to the "personals", the relationship section, and you will see a total of 13 listings. A couple of them are from "Lahore", isn't that where IDS outsources some of their IT workers? I bet those personals from lahore are some of the IT people haha. Very funny.
Very funny, take a look.
12,600 a day. LOL. Yes, Whoever is working on them is probably sweating and working their tails off. 12,000 a day wow.
I hope they put up that data center soon.
34,755 ads listed as of 8/30/2005, you can check my previous posts on 8/30. I am keeping an official count.
New number of car ads: 160,140 9/10/2005
Traffic Ranking is up again. I thought it would decline on Saturdays and Sundays, looks like I was wrong. We are continuosly progressing in ranking according to alexa.
This is very comforting. And Laptop, I'm sure the rest of the ads, all 400,000 of them will be uploaded sooner or later and soon rather than later, as well as the hotel ads.
As I stated yesterday, the fact that there were 34,000 car ads early last week and 160,000 car ads right now shows that they're not bluffing.
Early last week there were only 33,000 or 34,000. So 160,000 is A TREMENDOUS improvement.
The only problem is the loading time for the search results. Usually takes me about 20 seconds. Even as an investor, I wouldn't use 995ad.com if this continues.
Does anyone (most likely Datatech, lol) know the timeframe of when they are expecting to correct this loadtime catastrophe? I emailed them twice but no reply.
Any comments would be appreciated.
laptop,
don't you get it? It says "575,500 cars". But WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY IS THAT IT'S NOT TRUE. It says "575,500" cars, but there IS NOT 575,500 cars. I don't think I can break it down any more than that.
What I'm saying is that the "575,500 cars" is a lie.
They must of not updated/uploaded all the listings because there's only around 120,000 cars on the site.
I'm sure that they will upload the rest of the listings, but as of yesterday/today, there are only 120,000 cars on the site. I'm just trying to be honest.
My advice to all new people:
995ad.com is only a portion of IDWS. The site is rapidly changing every week. Just last week we had only 34,000 ads. Now we have 120,000 ads. IDWS states that they've captured 557,500 car ads and 70,000 hotel ads. If this is true and they list them, that is so huge and would be extraordinary. The fact that we currently show 120,000 car ads should show that IDWS is not bluffing, it just takes time for the dealers to write in each car/hotel ad and for IDWS to process/upload them to their site.
Management is cleary not being passive. If they're being honest, they've accomplished a hell of a feat: they've persuaded and contracted people to list more than a half a million ads in a very short time. I don't know about you, but that's very aggressive and very impressive to me.
The other portion is clearly profitable. A pro forma statement of earnings of $0.21? That would equate to $8-$12 a share with a reasonable EPS ratio.
Right now, if you believe that IDWS is bullshiting, then you can just move onto another stock. But if people are undervaluing this stock with the "too good to be true" attitude, then you're in for a golden opportunity.
I firmly believe that IDWS is a winner and will prove so. I've accumulated at $0.19-$0.21. If IDWS pulls through, the massive ROI will be because people hesitated with the "too good to be true" attitude and allowed me to get in at these extremely undervalued prices.
It's your decision. Good luck and good hunting.
There are not 557,500 car ads on 995ad.com.
There is about 120,000 - 160,000 cars. I don't know the exact number, but the "total 557,500" car ads is DEFINITELY not true.
They are most likely batch processing them and the 400,000 other ads will most likely be up soon in intervals of 100 thousands at a time.
There 15,488 total pages of car ads with 8 ads to a page.
I'm sure the 400,000 car ads and the 70,000 hotel ads will be posted over the weeks. Last time I checked the car ads, it was stale at 34,000 ( do you remember that laptop? lol). Then the next day it went up to where we are now (120,000). I'm sure it will continue.
And yes, the speed and load time of 995ad.com SUCKS but I'm sure they will fix that as well. But once all the glitches are worked out, the bashers won't have anything to complain about and we'll be at $1. (This is likely to occur VERY SOON).
Have a good one.
Datatech,
I appreciate your DD and you know I love this stock, but I'm afraid your DD about the car results and the actual numbers do not agree on 995ad.com
When you do a car search, there is only 154,878 car listings. When you do a search, and the results show, the expression "1 of 154,878" does not mean "page 1 of 154,878 pages". It means cars "1 through 8 of 154,878 total listings".
There are not even 557,500 cars listed as of today 9/9/2005. There are only 154,871 total car ads. Maybe they just haven't updated the rest yet. They are batch processing the ads. Last time there were only 34,000 ads and all of a sudden the next day there were 154,871. They are batch processing them.
So I'm afraid you've mis-stated it. There are only 15,488 pages. There are a total of 8 ads per page. The true number of car listings on 995ad.com are 124,000. This is true even though it misleadingly says "557,500 total ads found" and "showing 154,878".
But the site is growing week by week so I'm sure the 400,000 other cars will be posted soon. It's still very good work and I like the progress and the speed.
