ETV- Worth a look. Just started to move from recent lows. See article below which is an excerpt from a recent article from Smart Money.com. Could be a chance to get into a company with an upcoming IPO. I like the fact that some big media companies have been investing in them. Exposure means a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------ Finally, one quirky company that might be worth a look is E4L (ETV), which describes itself as "the world's largest publicly held direct response television company". What does that mean? We're talking TV infomercials. Not-available-in-stores items like the Ab Rocker from Body by Jake and the Expressware Infusion Cooking System, which, as the host of the infomercial gushes, allows you to cook all your favorite foods up to 10 times faster! If you have an appetite for risk (in which case you should probably order the Ab Rocker), then there's something that makes this stock interesting. There is an Internet angle — of course! E4L owns a stake in a company called BuyItNow, an e-tailer that operates the site BuyItNow.com. There has been talk of an IPO for BuyItNow. It's true that e-commerce sites are a dime a dozen, and competition is fierce. Why would BuyItNow rise above a crowded field that includes the likes of Amazon.com (AMZN) and Yahoo! (YHOO)? All good points. But what got my attention is that some big media companies have invested in BuyItNow, namely NBCi, the Internet division of General Electric's (GE) NBC TV network; Clear Channel Communications (CCU), the nation's largest radio-station operator; and Emmis Communications (EMMS), a midsize radio company. And as I pointed out on Wednesday, a dog of a company can sometimes wind up being a star of the future if big-name investors are backing it. E4L could get a lift if, as rumored, BuyItNow files to go public. Insiders have been buying here as well, so that's a good sign. In fact, of the 25 companies on the list, E4L has had the most insider purchases in the last three months…and no sales. If you're going to check out companies that have been on the receiving end of a lot of investor loathing over the last few months, then checking out the recent insider-transaction history would probably be a good place to start.

### ZSUN D.D for the SAVVY INVESTOR ### 1) Main Web Sites: ziasun.com momentumasia.com momentumplus.com 2) Internet Subsidiary Assets Web Sites: International Investment Seminars: i-advantage.com International Trading Portal: swiftrade.com Asian Finances: mfinance.com Internet Advertising: mediahits.com E-Mail Service: pinmail.com Asian Search-engine: searchdragon.com Sub contract Customer Service: servicelive.com Asian E-Commerce: asia4sale.com & barterasia.net On-line shopping: shoppingasia.net 3) PROFILE: ZiaSun Technologies Incorporated is a dynamic and diversified Internet Holding Company which harnesses a global array of Internet products, services and technologies to create new opportunities for itself and its shareholders. One of the ways to maximize the potential benefits is to bring selected subsidiaries to the Market, via IPO's. ZiaSun's initial holdings include Momentum Internet Inc, which controls a range of products and services, including an on-line stock trading system, a premium web-based e-mail service, a rapidly expanding advertising banner network, a popular finance website, and an Asia-focused search engine. A second subsidiary, Momentum Asia Inc, provides a wide range of compatible graphic design, writing, printing, database management, and customer service operations. ZiaSun is integrating Momentum Asia's services with those of Momentum Internet. While they will remain distinct companies, Momentum Asia's design and copy-writing capacity will generate content for Momentum Internet sites. Momentum Internet's corporate client base will be offered preferential packages blending the large subscriber and user base of the Internet with the database management and customer service/marketing support facilities of Momentum Asia. Further acquisitions will extend this synchronized approach. Momentum Asia and Momentum Internet use low-cost facilities and labor in the Far East to produce world-class products and services catering to the US and other major markets. Both companies have substantial assets, are established in their market niches, and are profitable. A recently acquired US subsidiary, Online Investors Advantage Inc (OIA), is designed to meet the need for educational services which train the public on the optimum use of Internet investment and financial management services. And with assistance from other ZiaSun subsidiaries, OIA is in the process of expanding very successfully in overseas markets, such as Australia and New Zealand. ZiaSun also has substantial US investments, including holdings in US corporations which may be sold or developed into compatible subsidiaries. In particular ZSUN owns the rights to market a revolutionary soft drink bottling machine in the USA which is in the final developmental stages and appears full of promises. 4) Most Significant News Releases: ZSUN, April 28th, ZiaSun's New Subsidiary Achieves Record Revenues: ragingbull.com ZSUN, June 15th, ZiaSun Announces Additions to its Executive Management Team: ragingbull.com ZSUN, June 16th, ZiaSun Files Lawsuit against FinancialWeb.com: ragingbull.com ZSUN, June 22nd, ZiaSun Technologies Projects Record 2nd Quarter Revenues and Earnings: ragingbull.com ZSUN, July 2nd, ZiaSun Files Second Defamation Lawsuit: ragingbull.com ZSUN, August 31st, Ziasun Receives Purchase Bids For Its Asia4sale Subsidiary: ragingbull.com ZSUN, September 15th, Ziasun's E-Commerce Portal Asia4sale Launched: ragingbull.com ZSUN, October 5th, ZiaSun Launches SwiftradeUSA: ragingbull.com ZSUN, October 12th, Launches Hong Kong Stock Trading System: ragingbull.com ZSUN, November 1st, ZiaSun Launches SwiftradeUK.com: ragingbull.com 5) Shares Structure: Outstanding: about 27 Millions shares after 2 splits this year alone Float: between 3 and 5 Millions shares Cash on Hand, as of 30th June 1998: about $5.5 Millions Liabilities: No Long Term Liabilities 6) What do I expect, as a Biased and Optimistic Long? Based on the various Press releases and financial results so far published, I anticipate ZSUN to have an EPS of about 32 cents in 1999. On the basis of a PE of 100 (a comparable Company, PCNTF has 180), I believe ZSUN's share price could very well be in the $30.00 to $35.00 range by year's end... YAHOO FINANCE says: ZSUN+1000% (from $1.00 to $10.00) for YEAR and about 400% (from $2.50 to $10.00) since January! quote.yahoo.com 7) Today's Comments: ZSUN pierced through the $12.00 resistance level once before and it can do it again, this time more convincingly, since none of its fundamentals have changed. On the contrary, its new OIA Seminars in Australia and New Zealand are sold out and it's about to spin off a portion of Asia4sale for some $20 Millions. As a result, it's quite possible that my predicted EPS of 32 cents for 1999 will prove to be closer to 50 cents, bearing in mind I am a biased and still optimistic Long... The 10SB was recently filed, allowing ZSUN to become a fully reporting Company and to apply to list on NASDAQ. Analyst coverage should follow soon.... Earnings news should be out very soon and provide a good surprise for the shareholders... 8) BULLISH BREAKING NEWS: + ZiaSun Reports Record Net Sales and Strong Profits for the Nine-Month Period Ending Sep 30, 1999: biz.yahoo.com + Strong Buy Issued On ZiaSun Technologies by Security Capital Trading... Near-term Price Target over $15 Per Share with Long-term $30 Price Target: biz.yahoo.com 9) Disclaimer: This is only my opinion, not a recommendation and no responsibility is accepted for errors or omissions... Potential investors should carry out extensive Due Diligence and only invest what they can afford to lose... Regards, F. Goelo + + +
