edde, >>I wanted all of this to be made public before the markets open tommorow so no one would be swayed by the false information that I copied from the sources that I mentioned.<< Very nice of you to confess to your deception here!<g> So, is there concensus that CAOL will tank-out even further tomorrow on this dire news of no ISP or revenues? Has anyone actually confirmed anything with regard to CAOL or actually verified with anyone that the company is generating revenue from anything? Hopefully soon, we'll be presented with evidence this company is real and not just another good song and dance on it's way to the cleaners! TG

CAOL IS::::CathayOnline::::::: CathayOnline is a development stage company that is in the business of acquiring profitable Internet and E-commerce companies. CAOL is focused on two aspects of business within the boarders of China. A favorable legal opinion has been rendered in regard to the acquisition of 200 lottery kiosks. These kiosks will resemble 'our' ATMs, except that they will take in cash and produce a lottery ticket. These are very much like the lottery machines that are used within the USA in some states. The Chinese government has sanctioned the lottery as it helps finance welfare and sport programs. While still in its infancy, the lottery is the fastest growing gaming segment in China. The 9 month lottery sales exceeded $1,330,000,000 USD. How will CAOL profit from owning a kiosk? CathayOnline will receive 6% of the intake from each Kiosk. This is already a profitable business, as some of the kiosks being acquired are currently producing profits. Thus, after the acquisition, CAOL will be instantly very profitable. Links to news: quicken.com. quicken.com. CathayOnline is in the process of acquiring an Internet Service Provider within the province of Sichuan. The ISP is currently one of four services available to residents within the province. The other three are government run ISPs offering little customer service, slow upgrades, and few E-commerce solutions. The Chinese government is encouraging privatization of the country's ISPs. Private companies can be more flexible in pricing and usage packages to accommodate subscribers. Value-added products will increase revenue in an already profitable situation. Network integration, consulting services, security products, Web hosting, and E-commerce sites can all supplement earnings. CAOL plans to expand into Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou with their ISP service. After the acquisition, CAOL will own one of 15 active licenses, issued by the Ministry of Posts & Telecommunications, available within China. This IS already profitable and would instantly provide earnings for CAOL. Links to more information: quicken.com. quicken.com. The CEO of CathayOnline, Brian Ransom, is an ex-international fund manager with exceptional Asian contacts. In fact he was born in the province of Shanghai. Brian has been very approachable and more than willing to answer any questions. The company has been on time with all scheduled acquisitions to date. These acquisitions will provide instant profits. While CAOL is still developmental, the upside to downside risk provides a very good risk to return ratio, in my opinion. I am long CAOL. I have not been paid to write this, and I do not have any affiliation with CAOL, CathayOnline, nor WVFG. There is a new web site up and running with a lot of information- with more to come. cathayonline.com I consider this report to be VERY incomplete, and would encourage further due diligence. If I can be of any help, please feel free to post or E-mail me questions. I will try my best to provide you with the answer AND a place to verify my answer.
