SPOOZ Inc (SPZI)

Great post.

I have read and read and read and read post after post after post and FINALLY someone states the case for Spooz as I have always seen it... spooz on stocks.

I know a lot of dyed in the wool ancient followers of spooz (like myself, by the way.... been in spooz since the invention of the cotton ginny, it seems like). Anyway, a lot of us have never been happy, even though we understood all the reasoning, for the single-minded emphasis on futures & commodities via spooz. It was logical. It was reasonable and it made pure unadulterated common sense. Stocks are a backwater in comparison to things like currencies & commodities & futures contracts and eminis and the like.

Well, Betamax was clearly superior to VHS and Apples are much nicer for ordinary uninitiated computer users to use ETCETERA ETCETERA ETCETERA.... and Betamax lost out to VHS and Microsoft swamped and all but sunk the Apple flotilla. The moral or the story? Understand and leverage the tendancies of the ordinary man.... of EVERYMAN!

EVERYMAN is a 50 something engineer or human resources exec or executive secretary or technology worker in a flourescent lighted room with oatmeal colored walls, dense with ergonomic cubicles in a mirrored office building in the heart of suburbia. He or she everyday uses Microsoft Office. Oftentimes, EVERYMAN knows a little bit about VBA, with which he or she scripts customizations to their Microsoft Office spreadsheets and/or Access databases and they navigate the waters of their job description. But new workers cost less and are more computer savvy and we all know this is true because the framed certifications they hang on their walls tell us so. The bean counters rule and downsizing happens and the old buffaloes trudge out to pasture... with little success in finding an equivelent level of employment that leverages their accumulated experience and sklillset.

So, EVERYMAN gets downsized. He or she sets up a home office. He or she tries daytrading. He or she invests in stocks, because thats how EVERYMAN thinks. It is irreleveant that the pros out there know that the real money is not in stocks. It is only relevant that EVERYMAN thinks and acts predictably and EVERYMAN does stocks. You leave TI after 20 years and the next logical step is to start orange juice futures????? I don't think so!

No.... it is a huge change to be on your own a,d EVERYMAN knows his limitations, but he or she has always liked to dabble in the stock market.... so EVERYMAN dips his or her toe in the waters of daytrading and the next thing you know, they are in up to thei kneckline (or, more likely, thaey are in way over their head). So, EVERYMAN noses around the internet looking for tools that can help them with their trading. They come across Tradestation, but using it requires learning a custom language. EVERYMAN finds other platforms, like AIQ, but that also involves a custom language. EVERYMAN is not stupid. EVERYMAN knowsthat time is of the essence and EVERYMAN wants a tools that allows them to leverage the skillset they already possess (VBA). EVERYMAN wants to use what he or she already knows. EVERYMAN wants atool that allows them to build their own customized trading solution using skills they already possess.

The answer is not to force them out of their comfort zone (into futures/commodities etcetera). "Wish I could find a tool that would allow me to leverage my knowledge of VBA and Excel to build my own custom trading solution at an affordable price", mused EVERYMAN....

Surprise of all surprises (or as Gomer Pyle used to say: Shazaam!!) The answer is Spooz!!!!
Spooz on Stocks is the answer!!!!! VHS over Betamax... Microsoft over Apple!!! STOCKS... not commodities/futures/eminies/currencies!!!!! STOCKS STOCKS STOCKS STOCKS STOCKS!!!


Sorry about the rant, but I've never changed my mind about where the real money is for Spooz. I know it is counterintuitive but I've always thought it was Spooz on stocks and not spooz in the "bigger mor lucrative" other markets. Spooz on STOCKS: affordsable.... familiar tools to the ordinary man.... freedom to jack with it, tweaking it like a guy building a car in his garage.... no need to learn proplietary languages and tools.... a familiar look-n-feel in a trading area EVERYMAN readily understands: Spooz & STOCKS.

Having ranted as I now have, everyone can now proceed to rip me limb from limb. But I remain steadfast..... Spooz & stocks for EVERYMAN.... counterintuitive but right on the bullseye, IMHO.
