TO ALL:
Please check the site test.winr.net for some interesting changes evidently coming to a WINR website near you.
Also, as was mentioned in an earlier post, check out winalottery.com for the latest changes there indicating that the "Grand Opening" will indeed be March 15th (Monday).
As for the recent debate surrounding the authenticity surrounding the hit counter on the ichargeit.com website, I would like to add a few thoughts. Being a scientist myself, I too conducted the 1 minute drill on the ichargeit site. While my overall average coincides with those found previously (about 6/min.) my intramodal observations were a little more random, ranging from, 4 to 20 hits/min. My conclusion? While the intramodality shows some signs of variance and randomness the overall average makes this "hit counter", suspect at best, and unbelieveable at worst. So, for the purpose of speculative calculations I must condemn this counter as unreliable. However, there is another counter on the cybermall portion of the website that shows both the randomness and variability to be deemed to be statistically "true and accurate". I believe this counter shows the actual number of "purchases" that have been made on the cybermall portion of the website, as it refers to, "number of happy shoppers". It is my guess that this counter was probably started at 50,000 for cosmetic purposes, and currently (8:00 A.M. EST) shows a total of 51,597.
This next section is for Mr. Stout; who, probably rightly so, is always pounding the table about "numbers." I have monitored this counter for the last 4 days. The total of "happy shoppers" for that period is 464. Multiply this figure by 7.5 to get first month (30 days) estimate for total "happy shoppers", of 3,480. Multiply this by 3 for estimate of first quarter total "happy shoppers", of 10,440. Now apply a 25% quarterly growth rate for the site (a very conservative one by e-commerce standards) and you arrive at these figures: Q1= 10,440, Q2= 13,050, Q3=16,313, Q4=20,392, Total "happy shoppers" year one=60,195! For year two with the same growth rate applied, you have approximately 145,000 "happy shoppers". For revenue purposes use any figure you feel comfortable with. For simplicity sake I will use an average purchase price of $100. Year 1 estimated total processed equals $100 x 60,195=$6,019,500 x .05 (WINR 5% fee) = $309,750: Year 2 equals 100 x 145,00 = $14,500,000 x .05 = $725,000. Now this is just one site. My vision for WINR is that, through the shoppingdowntown.com site, WINR will someday handle processing for tens or even hundreds of such sites from this one central location provided by, and in association with the CyberLink Monetary System (CMS) and CyberLink Trust (CLT). Start multiplying and I think you will begin to understand why I have always held the position that I felt the gaming aspect alone would make WINR a very profitable venture, but the international E-commerce applications could truly make it a behemoth! Also, as I have stated in the past, it will take a lot of hard work, execution, and luck for this to happen, but Winners progress to date still indicates to me that they are on track to accomplish the lofty goals I, and I alone, have set for them.
This leads me to one last train of thought. It was intimated on another thread, and this one, that I may be a part of WINR management; and, or have some sort of "inside" connections. Nothing could be further from the truth. So allow me to make this disclaimer once again. I am not, in any way, affiliated with Winners Internet Network, Inc. or any of its associates, other than through my share holdings in the company, which are all free trading, and bought and paid for on the retail market. I wouldn't know David Skinner Jr. or Sr., nor anyone else at Winners if I met them on the street. If it appears to anyone that I have insights that appear to be too accurate to be anything but "inside information", I assure you this is incorrect! All speculation and information I have, and do, present in these open forums is a cumulative effort consisting of numerous hours, days and months of research on my part, and the assistance of many other independent sources sharing open information about Winners and, afilliated areas of interest, with me. I am not a broker, professional analyst, or recognized securities professional. I am neither licensed; nor, recognized by the SEC in any professional manner, that I am aware of. I, like so many here, am but a humble (and after the last year much humbler) independent investor still trying to discover that as yet "undiscovered small-cap gem" in a very narrow large-cap market. I think I may have found it in WINR! As always.......
Best Wishes, Swedelo
