Buzz Technologies Inc (OTC:BZTG): Asia Investment Companies Looking to the Future, AsiaInfo, Aberdeen, Buzz Inc
Feb 16, 2009 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- A shift in focus towards domestic spending could allow Asian economies to emerge in a stronger position when the world economy eventually sees an upturn, according to Hugh Young, managing director of Aberdeen Asset Management Asia (AMEX:FAX).
The continuing fall in markets across Asia in line with the global downturn showed the level of Asian reliance on Western markets - but that could change as Asian governments focused their spending inwards, said Young
'Cash will increasingly be used for domestic purposes rather than big overseas investments,' he said. 'When the upturn comes, you will see the Asian economies emerging stronger still. Inevitably, they will increase as a proportion of the world economy.'
Asian banks are well positioned to help pump liquidity back into the markets, argued Young, pointing to their stronger loan-deposit ratios than US and UK counterparts. Asian banks have an average loan-deposit ratio of around 92%, almost 10% less than US commercial banks.
'Asia is putting in place all the necessary infrastructure to take advantage of the time when the global economy does change. They have that flexibility that we don't have in this part of the world,' he said.
But Young conceded that the immediate outlook for earnings was pretty grim. 'It's a pretty sorry picture on the earnings front for Asia,' he said, adding that Aberdeen was typically revising down earning levels from already low levels as it spoke to companies in which it invests.
'I would caution people not to worry about earnings, but really to focus on balance sheets,' he argued. 'In the good times there is the tendency to forget about balance sheet and focus on growth for growth's sake. At the moment you are seeing that unraveling pretty savagely.'
Despite Young's bullish stance on the position of Asian banks relative to their Western counterparts, most of the recent changes in the portfolio of the Aberdeen Asia Pacific fund have involved the selling of financials.
AsiaInfo Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:ASIA) reported fourth quarter revenue rose 31.7% year-over-year to $53.7 million, beating analyst estimates of $49.1 million. Fiscal year 2008 revenue rose 32.2% year-over-year to $175.5 million, beating analyst estimates of $157.5 million. The company expects first quarter earnings to be in the range of $0.12 - $0.13 per share, on revenue to be in the range of $43.0 - $45.0 million. Analyst estimates first quarter earnings of $0.11 per share, on revenue of $40.7 million.
Buzz Inc
Buzz would think by now it is clear to everyone that regardless of Trillion Dollar bailouts the markets and the economies of the world will be having a difficult time for the foreseeable future. So, how do we manage the diverse interests of Buzz Inc during this period while at the same time being in a position of strength when parts of the market start to recover.
The world's current economic crisis is still playing out and it this stage it is almost impossible to predict the impact that it will have on different sectors during 2009. Buzz Inc has made some changes that will protect the company from the worst of the problems. We have scaled back efforts n some areas and cut other areas that were not profitable. Buzz Inc has also diversified the liquid holdings, spreading them over currencies and precious metals to insulate the impact of any particular currency collapse. Huge deficits as predicted by Barak Obama could have an adverse effect on the US Dollar.
As the market does recover, we feel Asia will be at the forefront of that recovery. As western countries start spending again it is most likely they will be buying production that originated in Asia due to the comparative lower cost of production. We are also of the opinion that the crisis may well benefit some of the small nations in Asia, while they have not lead the economic boom the way China has, they have also not developed the rising costs that China has either. Veitnam, Philippines, Indonesia and India could well prosper over the coming year. Thailand has separate political problems, however as far as production it may well see growth in the later part of 2009.
Given Buzz is now expecting additional cash reserves through the sale or operation of the Lanna Project consideration must be given on how to use those funds for the long term good of all shareholders. The Dividend we see as the start of a corporate culture of making and delivering a return to shareholders on an annual basis, while this is not the traditional approach to managing a growth company, or an investment company like Buzz Inc, we feel it is a course that will build shareholder value over time.
With many traditional company practices, securities, derivatives and some currencies now in question, there clearly is the opportunity to re-invent a quality equity that has regular modest returns to shareholders and maintains growth through hard work and innovation rather than debt and fancy accounting.
It is our plan to develop Buzz Inc into a broad spectrum company with diverse and successful homegrown holdings that will be a must have in any serious investors portfolio.

thank you got your answer
yes ..i sent u another message can u please read it
I have a problem ...is it a violation to put up prs from the company dated today and if so can u tell me why?
I'm not blaming any of you. I was just saying no matter what you do or say you won't be able to stop BZTG from taking off. Not much longer to see it happen. I feel very good about my investment. I have no doubt I did the right thing in investing in BZTG. So continue to bash. I'm secure in my investment. If your a man of your word or woman 654321, I hope you stand by your remarks and that you "will come back on this board and stand corrected and apologize to you followers" because you will see what I say happens. Divy will happen soon and more to come after.
All I see is a few people who post on this board. The non believers keep repeating the same crap over and over again. Some sent emails to companies that BZTG does or plans to do business with. They go to great lengths to discredit BZTG. Believe me you won't be able to accomplish your goals in keeping BZTG from taking off. There will be a divy and much more coming after that. The people who are holding will be pleasantly rewarded. When These things come to past (AND IT WON'T BE LONG NOW) there is no stopping BZTG...I also will be posting lots less as I also have had my posting privledge reduced.
Hey look at the end of the memorandum it has a list of Executive Management. Says:
Sutida Suwunnavid - Chairwoman
Thanissara Sinprasertwong - Director
Yan Ma - Buzz CEO in China
Pumin Inpan - Looks like incharge of Buzz Infrastructure
What do you think Slojab Is that good enough to put in the ibox?
I know I feel good about it. And I keep adding to my portfoilo because I have no doubt that there are good times ahead and plenty of money to be made.
GOOOOOOOO BUZZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sounds good to me. Especially in these times. Tells me BZTG is one smart company being handled by smart people. Thanks for sharing.
Yo Slim what latest news are you talking about?
Direct and to the point ..I like that. I'm sure many would like to see your questions answered. I know I would.
Oh please I know I'm not the smartest one here but to say:
"I have no reason to believe anyone has attempted to damage BZTG"
You also ask:
"Anyway, to answer your question, aside from Shayne saying so, what evidence do you have that anyone is trying to damage the company? Unless you are an insider, my guess is you are relying on his statements, which have always proven to lies more often than not".
You see It seems I can't answer these questions here. My post that you felt the need to respond to already got deleted itself. And here I was only asking questions. You think if I give my email address I could answer people who would like to know what I do? Would that be a violation to the TOS. I'm not an insider but I have done lots of research. Some very interesting facts which I'm sure you can guess on.
Why would people go to such lengths to contact companies that do business with BZTG and try to damage the growth of BZTG. What benefit could they get? Someone please help me out. Is this for personal reasons? What is it? I'm lost in seeing the benefits of such extreme efforts.
But I believe those emails were more then just simple Verification to information. I believe some of those emails were trying to discredit BZTG and trying to stop these companies from doing business with them. What do you think? Thats what I am getting from Sunny the chairwomans response.
Map and other pictures of mine.
Not sure if I'm doing this right but here are links to them.

Great news lowe6er. That should make a few people happy.
Sounds like some been very bad in how they communicated with other companies when doing their supposedly DD. Sounds like they tried to do more than just get information but maybe telling these companies not to do business with buzz. jmo
Yes some non believer is able to sell because the smart investors are scooping them up.
Why would people buy at .0085 when they are getting them now at .007 ....U will have to wait a little longer to get your .085 be patient or sell at .007 they will go fast. imo
Looks like we have some smart investors taking advantage of whats to come.
The mining project will produce profits for me. I don't mind that people here don't want to believe. That's everyone choice to decide. I for one will be rewarded for my smart play in investing with BZTG and ignoring the nay sayers. Time will tell and I know it will not take long at that.
I just noticed someone removed the mining information from the ibox. What was wrong with that info. It was news from the company of what was happening. It wasn't made up by anyone. Was it to big and positive of news? Afraid it made the company look to good. This is wrong and you should put it back. After all this board is about BZTG.
Yo Slim, You don't need to fake promote BZTG you just need to read some of the stuff in the ibox. Pay special attention to the mining part. Some big things will happen very soon and I am sure it will turn your investment into a profit in the short term. Might even be a good idea to buy some more shares to lower your average per share....The Perfect Time Is Now!!! Imo...GL
Could it mean something as simple as besides generating cash already bztg will be generating even more cash now with mining deal? The more cash coming in the faster the expansion. JMO
Exactly Strager_08 It came out in 2004. If your scroll down on the site our-street gave you will see that it just happens to be dated 1-26-2009. Whats that 2 weeks ago? Smells fishy to me. But you can make your own conclusion. Just like anyone else. Have a nice day. (Sie haben ein fein label).
I got to tell you guys with all the news about all the things coming I have no doubt with all the shares I own I will make a nice fortune. So here is to you Capt. Jack Thank you for all your hard work. And for all the people who own shares in BUZZ congrats for being so patient. I know it was a rough road but our patience will be rewarded real soon now. For those who don't own any shares or who have sold because you lost faith it's still time to get in. The upside is huge compared to pps now. If you decide not to good luck with your other investments.
Sincerely, One happy camper!!!

I find this interesting: FACT: The puppet master behind this con is Shayne Heffernan, an international con man exposed by Australia and Jersey and featured on the QASSIA list of International "Black Listed" Brokers and Businessman
http://www.qassia.com/international-black-listed-brokers-and-businessman
What I find so interesting is you make this Qassia site like its something official which in fact it is not. Any one can open an account and post whatever they want. Now look at this site.
http://www.gomopa.net/Finanzforum/schwarze-listen-weisse-listen-empfehlungslisten/diligizer-blacklist-94304.html
Looks to me that someone copy and pasted from this site to Qaissia and added Shane Heffernan to the list. Makes one start to question these so called "Facts".
It's a fact many of the companies that deal with them are scams. Check it out ...I will start you on a couple. SPVG, AFAO/AFAI Both did a 50k to 1 R/S. Go to this board and read all about the happy campers.. http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/board.aspx?board_id=9278
Any company that Big Apple is involved is more then likely a scam!!!!
Why don't you put up a stop no information sign from pink sheets in the ibox to warn people what a bad non reporting company this is. Glad I checked first.

Buzz Inc. Announces Results of Preliminary Feasibility Study on The Lanna Project
Jan 6, 2009 3:52:00 PM
Email Story Discuss on ZenoBank
View Additional ProfilesHONG KONG and BANGKOK, THAILAND -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 01/06/09 -- Buzz Inc. (the"Company" or "Buzz") (PINKSHEETS: BZTG), www.buzz-inc.com, is pleased to announce that the preliminary feasibility study on its Lanna Project Manganese deposit at its property in Thailand has been completed.
The study was commissioned by the Company in November 2008 and was performed by incoming and outgoing staff at the mine site. It confirmed that the project is economically viable and also supports an updated mineral reserve calculation and updated mineral resource estimate on the property.
Lanna is the Company's prime exploration target for the Manganese deposit which is located on the Company's Property in Thailand.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE REPORT ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Mineral Resources and Reserves
An initial updated Mn Ore indicated mineral resource estimate for The Lanna deposit was reported in a news release previously based on estimates from the negotiations of the site.
As a result of further in-depth analysis, the quantity has changed; however, there have otherwise been no material changes to the grades and quantities previously reported. The following table summarizes the mineral reserves for The Lanna Mn Ore deposit, effective January 6, 2009:
Mn 23-46%
MnO2 36-71%
SiO2 (Silica) 22-60%
Fe (iron) 1-3%
The estimated reserve of minable Mn Ore now sits at 6.1m mtu and this is expected to increase as drilling commences.
Notes:
Rounding may result in some discrepancies. No processing recovery factors have been applied to these reserve figures.
Assumptions and Methods: the team included the following steps during calculation of the indicated resources at The Lanna Project:
-- personal inspection of The Lanna Project property during 2008 - 2009;
-- database compilation and data validation;
-- geological interpretation and modeling;
-- compositing test intervals to a common length;
-- determination of average material density;
-- previous analysis of grade variability.
Data Verification: During numerous inspections of the The Lanna Project properties (2008 to 2009) areas for immediate mining were identified and a mining plan commenced.
RESULTS OF PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY STUDY
The team completed the preliminary study in order to evaluate the merits of extracting Mn Ore from The Lanna Project using the reserve and resource base summarized above. The conceptual work plan is to continue the current extraction methods (open cut) along high quality mineralization, processing of ore and bagging on site then shipping a commercial grade to overseas buyers, predominantly in China. The preliminary feasibility study used a wide variety of economic data to produce projected capital and operating costs estimates, environmental and social considerations, mining methods, processing technologies, permitting issues, taxation issues, and commodity price trends, all of which became components of The Lanna Project development economic model.
Assuming an Mn Ore price of $200 mtu and using the previous methods and ship bagged Mn Ore during a two-year period, generating $48m in revenue, with the initial profits funding more drilling and exploration for Copper, Silver and Gold.
The mine would pay back capital costs in the third or fourth quarter of the first year of development. Mn Ore Bags would be produced at the mine site, thus creating early cash flow. Maintaining Mn Ore quality for overseas markets is very important to the success of the proposed development. Preliminary testing of an area of The Lanna Project shows high recovery rates of Mn Ore. Other impacting factors include rainfall, and metal price trends of both Mn Ore and Iron Ore as well as global steel demand.
The mine plan contemplates deploying standard scrap, crush and bag ore processing. When in full production the mill will process up to 25000 mtu of Mn Ore per month; this would not occur before year 3.
