You are on the right track. FMKT is all hype and spin...For example, "The world's leading B2B eMarketplace" is the FMKT theme now. We see it in all their press releases. We even see it mentioned in others' public comments about FMKT. Sounds great, doesn't it. But what does it mean?

Are goods bought or sold at this marketplace?

NO!

What kind of a "marketplace" is it, if goods aren't bought or sold?? What does FMKT mean by "marketplace"?

So where is this "marketplace"? Does it exist? Have you ever been to it? Can anyone find it?

NO!

Got some "industrial parts, raw materials, commodities and services" for sale, and want to go take a peek.. sorry... no can do.

So, what is it then?

If this is the FMKT theme, shouldn't everyone understand what it means? If the FMKT "marketplace" is not where goods are bought or sold and no one can find it, do you think this is misleading to the average investor??

Just another example of them "talking the talk...."
