allie, had an order filled at 0.0035 for 600k and then placed an order for 1Mil at 0.002, nada, walked it up to 0.0025 just before close and got nada again
MC, i agree completely. I wouldn't be here if I didn't think we were moving forward and IMO we have seen some great strides so far in 2008.
fair enough sled, to each their own....i believe this company is real and that the people who drive it are working hard to succeed...even with that being said, i understand that hard work doesn't automatically mean success...
OT: i got in deepdown at around 0.60, to bad spooz doesn't have cameras at their office like deepdown...i like reading people guess what products are being manufactured over there.
"GL with your "investment" - more like dropping quarters in a one arm bandit."
didn't you mean "our" investment? are you currently invested here?
and while it has dipped down under 0.002 the sp refuses to stay in the "onesies" for very long or close there... 0.002 seems to be a very strong base...therefore, dropping quarters in the well at these levels is not a bad idea...IMO...your wish might come true.
sled, cant argue that there has been some serious painting going on over the last month...i do not have level II, however, from what i read here it seemed like some real buys at the ask were going through yesterday. having watched this day to day over the last month, wed and thurs trading took on a new shape.
do you feel thursdays inc was the result of simply a paint? do you have any comments on the last two days of trading?

good ole fedfunz is representing us on this list...
allie, you posted some great material today. i enjoyed reading it all...where do you find this stuff?
heck of a find their phillymike....that 6th paragraph has spooztoolz written all over it...that got me excited and nervous at the same time....what if they were working with Spooz? but if its not, it means yet another competitor developing an excel add-in...i guess either way, you gotta like it when companies as big as e-trade are looking towards using excel as the face of a trading tool. Spooz seems to be positioned perfectly.

has anybody seen this site
before....CAX is a little over my head but they look serious....nice to see SpoozToolz mentioned under the CAX GUI section...even if I don't fully understand
I attempted to call the TA twice today to check the O/S but nobody answered each time. I guess they are spring breakin.
Did anybody else happen to check the O/S yesterday or today?
The action the last two days has me stumped. Still seems to be quite a bit of selling but now new buying pressure is coming from somewhere....hmmm
interesting that i am in the same boat as you Gmenfan...scooped about 350k last week at 0.002 with all the powder i had at the moment but finally have funds today and it is up big....the market always seems to play these games with me...i am not chasing it at the moment...just watching and thinking
kinda lets you know what will happen when this seller is done selling...ask will be steadily walked back up IMO
From Fedfunz's profile at linkedin.com....i think it is updated as he has November 2007 - present (5 months) as the duration of his current role....

My current project is Spooz, a trading solutions firm. Our goal is to unite the financial industry under a universal standard platform that bridges the gap between conception of a trading idea and its execution. Spooztoolz enables traders and firms to be more efficient in trading while reducing time to execution and reliance on IT. IT costs and strains effect every trader and firm. I joined Spooz at the point where it is launching its business growth and development as a leader in trading solutions software. Established corporate culture through formulation of company policies and procedures to meet growing demand for its expanding product line. Direct broad areas of public relations efforts encompassing authorship of promotional copy for sales, media, and shareholders. Hold full P&L responsibility through floor to ceiling expense control management
johns, since you are having trouble understanding the pr, i posted it below. it doesn't say they have started to try to sell their product in Europe. it is just an announcement that Spooz is attempting to set up some networks in the UK.
CHICAGO, March 11, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Spooz, Inc. (Other OTC:SPZI.PK - News) announced today that it has completed acquisition of all of the capital stock of Unwin Technology Ltd, and has changed the company's name with Companies House to Spooz Europe Ltd. All limited companies in England, Wales and Scotland are registered at Companies House, an Executive Agency of the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR). Company registration matters are dealt with in law, by the Companies Act 1985 and the updating legislation contained in the Companies Act 1989.
completely depends on the product you are talking about and the TIME of the commitment. in this case it is a software package and everything spooz has quoted for the price of thier package is in a per month basis. therefore, a customer can do a month to month subscription if they are worried about spooz's stock price....which is what i was responding to in the first place...i acknowledge that any customer will want some assurance that the company is real, but their decision to try the software, in this case, will be based on whether or not they see benefit in using the tool...imo
the current sp is not much fun for us shareholders. but the sp isn't going to mean squat to a potential customer of ST Pro. any customer is already going to know that this is a new tool from a start-up company. any customer is only going to care about whether or not the tool is of use, if it is dependable, cost, and support. wrt support, customers are going to demo the product and talk to the support staff...not look at the stock price IMO.
johns, you lost me here. have you somehow tied spooz's pr this morning to them running off to Europe??? if so, i think you must have stretched well this morning b/c you are reaching pretty far.
at the least, it is a pr saying they are going to try and have some sort of presence in the UK. at the most, it is a development that could lead to future revenues accross the atlantic. to no degree does it indicate that their immediate focus will not remain in the US, specifically Chicago. i am not super excited about it (the pr) as i don't think it will lead to anything immediate, but i'm not sure how one could spin it negatively.
TA says O/S still at 1.593 billion today....was curious as i'm not sure who would be motivated to sell at these levels
from the 141 board...

Thanks to TheSeeker
thanks for sharing gbathat....very interesting.
shine, i think people's(or Gekko's?) complaint is that they should have understood and accounted for the regulatory and red tape delays in their estimation of when they would be up and running.
i agree...
however, it is not a huge concern to me. it appears to me that 141 is real and is on track to actually start trading soon. it cannot be easy setting all this up and i forgive them if there were a few issues that popped up.
what was your logic on determining that a R/S is coming?.....oh yeah, you made that up and then started slinging it around like it was already in the works.
I just talked to guy at Olde Monmouth....
The O/S is 1,593,619,587 and the A/S is 2,000,000,000.
This is identical to what was reported by Songbird on 2/13/08(see post I am responding to). That was one week ago.
Does anybody know how often the transfer agent updates their count? Would todays numbers reflect any changes from yesterday?
whoa whoaa whoa...i am not done averaging down yet so lets get this back to 0.02 for a sec :)
From the map overview layout you can get to more pages than you can from just clicking on topics on the left....
Notice the verbage on this page.....
http://support.spooztoolz.com/docs/GettingStarted/FilledOrders.html#Topic23
"To get an order to fill, check the price that the product is trading at on TT - you can use XTrader or RTD to do this - then either place an order at a price that will trade or submit an order (say a buy order) and modify the price (up for a buy) until it does trade."
I'm not 100% sure how the relationship between TT and Spooz is set up but this indicates that ST is built, not to compete with Xtrader or RTD(not even sure what RTD is) but to work with or compliment them.....any thoughts on this? am i reading this correctly?
rookie, where or how did you find these links? i thought maybe these were old but i see the 'last updated' timestamp says 2/19/08. i have never seen them and i check the spooztoolz.com site often...even checked this morning. i have been waiting for some spooztoolz support documentation as an indicator of progress.....anyway i am excited to see this, it is a great sign IMO.
http://support.spooztoolz.com/docs/GettingStarted/map.htm
i like the presentation of this map overview.
BF, i was watching closely today as i decided i'd start watching this to average down from an initial entry at 0.37...i also noticed we held 0.02....some observations.
i decided i'd dump another $x into this....
i started the day with an order for $x/4 at 0.018....no dice
i bumped it to 0.02 at around 11:00.....no dice
i bumped my order to 0.21 in the last 30 minutes of trading and got filled almost immediately.
i thought i'd start with 25% of what i want to invest in order to see if the mms would dip down to fill my order, which they did not, and so that i can continue to watch this before i put too much more money in here...that way i can buy some at bottom in case we still haven't seen it.
relaxed, you recently posted a link to an article that Denis Arcand published(see post that i am responding to). Is there any way I can access this article in English? I thought about trying a translating website but figured i'd ask before i did that as i'm sure it will get butchered. tia.
thanks diabolic, i'll be around, i was just saying that i was going to take some time and do some digging before asking questions that have probably already been answered 100 times.
i have some shares at 0.37 and am thinking some more at 0.02 might not be so bad....but just looking for now.
binks, what are you expecting to see in the financials?...just curious. i'll be happy as long as they are completed and PR'd by the first half of March. i am not expecting them to reveal much in the form of revenue. i am still not entirely sure if they will be audited financials through 2007 or will include any of 2008 to-date....my guess would be just through 2007.
jenny, thanks, been invested here for a while but quit following after it dipped below 0.10...so i was just trying to get an update....i'll crawl back in my hole now and try to do some catching up from the ibox and mounds of previous posts
BF, Are there any key dates set at this time with respect to sorting out the dispute of techonology ownership that seems to be a hot topic of discussion on this forum?....such as the date of a court hearing on the matter?
do we know of the court date?
kondo, was 465,300 the amount of AH? I only ask b/c you guessed such a specific # and I didn't see anyone else post it.
