(OTCBB:CLVE) President, Stephen Nemergut, announced today that Rocket Inc., which is 49% owned by ClassicVision, is significantly expanding its e-commerce commitment by re-launching Americanastore.com and Kidsjokes.com. Americanastore.com hopes to evolve into the net's leading retailer of political consumer products such as Democratic and Republican shirts and watches. This store will be aggressively marketed on Americanpresidents.com, which receives hundreds of thousands of hits each week. Crazykidstore.com hopes to become a leading Internet retailer of unique children's products. From real astronaut ice cream to an alien voice-changing mask, the site offers hard-to-find toys with broad appeal. Crazykidstore.com will be marketed on Kidsjokes.com, which is viewed by thousands of children each week. Rocket Inc. owns and operates a diverse group of Internet sites outlined at Rocketlauncher.com. The company's main strategic focus is political sites. However, the company's R&D department, through sites like Kidsjokes.com and Crazykidstore.com, is continually exploring content and e-commerce opportunities in other areas. In addition, ClassicVision plans to announce the acquisition of Tradercents.com early next week and will unveil the site officially to the investing public. Tradercents.com is a financial web site offering financial links, stock forums and live chat on the stock market and investments. The company expects the site to grow substantially over the next year and ultimately to act as a major information platform for ClassicVision. Tradercents.com currently has no debt, net revenues for the year-to-date in the mid-six figures, and fifteen companies waiting to advertise on the site. By offering free memberships, the hit counts have increased ten-fold, with the site now receiving over 3.5 million hits per month, generating very significant advertising and promotional revenues. ClassicVision also announced that the company is in the final stages of acquiring an Internet gaming company that will give CLVE a significant stake in the online gaming arena. Revenues to come from this acquisition are anticipated to be in the mid-six figures per month. Nemergut stated: "We are extremely pleased with the direction our company has taken. Through our negotiations and efforts we have reached significant milestones in the Internet industry. Selecting and acquiring unique niche sites that offer profitability at the current time will solidify the potential in the short and long term for ClassicVision Entertainment." ClassicVision Entertainment Inc. is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board as "CLVE."
