DIRTY SHORTS: THE DEADLY ART OF STOCK MANIPULATION..... The Short & Distort Scheme Stage I: Monitoring In stage I of a Short & Distort scheme Short groups Monitor spikes in volumes on stocks with no rumors. Stage 2: Flagging Shorts Flag stocks that run up then sits back and wait patiently for their time. Stage 3: Preparation The Shorters research the company and develop their Distortion of the rumors to be used later. Stage 4: Actual Shorting The shorts step in selling on every possible up tick. This is the Reverse of front loading. Preparations are made to attack the guy who had earlier written positively about the company and take out, discredit, any new long-term champions or messengers. Stage 5: Distortion Campaign The shorts step in and increase selling on every possible up tick. Just as with the pump, newsletters, e-mail, PR firms against P & D, etc. are simulated. Expertise in the field is recruited for credibility. Any possible twist using POS (Purposely Omitted Syntax) and PAS (Purposely Added Syntax) is conveniently used on every possible angle. If the POS/PAS is discovered then attack the messenger. Above all control the message boards. The group clutters the message boards so no positive information can be readily found. Justification is the Value of the Company in the market. Projections of $0.00 worth and loss projections of 100% Note: The market manipulator will do everything in his/her power to keep buyers OUT OF THE STOCK. Cut your losses is touted to stimulate fear. You bought higher but now they need you to sell lower. Stage 6: Pressure The shorts have taken it too far. The volume is increasing and the price is not effectively dropping. A stalemate occurs. Personal attacks increase. Threats of legal action, SEC involvement, and yes even death threats increase. Increased secret IDs are employed to increase the cluttering, personal attacks and the distortion. So begins a string of lies that run for as long as one's stomach can take it. Desperately playing on the "you have been had" scenario. Any new news will be hit it hard by shorters to kill any interest. Note: Watch the volume not the share price. A market manipulator will have various brokers buying and selling the stock to give the APPEARANCE of increasing volume but the price goes down. Thus stimulating the story the company is selling or an off shore reg S or other convenient scenario. Watch for large blocks that show up but have a MM special code, cross overs, etc. Stage 7: The Cover Without warning the buying pressure is too much and the short begins to cover. Short covering combined with new investors buying into the stock causes the stock to go up. Often the whole thing starts again. Just a vicious cycle sometimes. Posting Credit: Ga Bard

Impact of OIA Deal on ZSUN's bottom line... 1) ZSUN needed strong Cash Flow, as do most Internet start-ups, hence the deal with OIA... Eventually, income from the other operations will catch up with that of OIA... Without this deal, ZSUN would have been hammered into the ground by the SSB's, so one could well say OIA was the Savior of ZSUN... 2) Firstly, let's look at 1999, for which OIA will contribute income for 3 Quarters, which I estimate to be around the $7 Millions mark. Other ZSUN operations should contribute some $2.5 Millions for a total of $9.5 Millions or about 35 cents per share (based on 27 Millions)... 3) A one time windfall sale of a portion of Asia4sale should bring in some $10 to $20 Millions gross, and I am guessing here, probably around $5 to $15 Millions net, which would represent another 18 to 55 cents/share or a total of 53 to 90 cents for 1999. At a PE ratio of 100 (PCNTF is around 180), this give us a $ 53.00 to $90.00 share price or $35.00 without the Asia4sale deal... 4) ZSUN is seriously contemplating, from what I have read in a couple posts, to issue one share of Asia4sale for every ten shares held in ZSUN, as a stockholder Dividend, that should help force the short position to cover... 5) At the end of the first Quarter 2000, the Bonus provisions will kick in and it's quite possible that OIA earn $7.5 Millions more than the original threshold of $2.5 Millions and therefore receive an additional 15 Millions shares, unless the deal is renegotiated. This would result in the outstanding shares numbering 42 Millions, which is not excessive for a Company with the bright prospects of ZSUN... 6) The income for 2000 would then be divided over a larger number of shares and with the Founder of OIA at the helm of ZSUN, there is no reason to expect a slackening in the income Growth of OIA, which should make up for the dilution in shares numbers. With the expansion in the Far East and Europe, it's reasonable to expect that OIA will produce net earnings of some $18 Millions and the rest of ZSUN some $4 Millions, giving us a PROJECTED EPS of $22 Millions over 42 Millions shares or some 52 cents/share, excluding any extraordinary items, such as income from future spin-offs... Conclusion: These projected figures should only be taken as rough estimates supplied by a Biased and Optimistic Long reviewing ZSUN prospects, in the light of the 10SB for his own purpose... Investors interested in the stock should carry out some extensive Due Diligence, as I am long and likely Biased and remember to only invest what they can lose... F. Goelo + + +
