Duhhh Frank, if you had followed along you would see that Vklepa, and I believe also Francois both stated that Vklepa got out late last yeat,while maybe not at the top, it was still well ahead of where he got in, and it's way way way way way ahead of where this turd trades now, so again, your AN IDIOT. I think if one has a modicum of common sense in reading Vklepa's post, it was apparent that one of the things that he was upset about is that his friends that had opened accounts at the boiler rooms were not being allowed to sell there stock when the stocks were up, not until they came down considerably, if at all, were they allowed out. How you can even try to defend against this clearly shows your lack of the soon to be discovered ethics gene. As for the "could be" and "just a guess" crap, well you proposed that it wasn't possible, and I gave a plausible, logical explanation thereby crushing your non-argument. Was a gun put to Vklepa's head and he forced to open an account with overpriced crappy Swiftrade? Probably not. Was he put in a situation where that seemed his best hope? Apparently so. Funny that you would argue it over here where he no longer posts, instead of over at RB. I see you do most of your touting over there too, talking up the new McKenna/ZSUN and how this Momentum split is alright, even after hyping all of ZSUN's Asia websites and how Asia is the next big thing, for the past year. Forget it Frank, as if everyone couldn't already see through you, your continued hyping of this turd truly shows your true slimy colors. Anyone else would feel like a fool, and very betrayed, after posting all that rah rah Asia crap and defending ZSUN at every turn, and then for them to sell all of their Asia internet presence for next to nothing(but still more than it's worth). Do you feel betrayed, of course not, your still rah rah ZSUN. LOL. TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT TOUT+1... CMB

There was no real hype. Hype suggests exaggerations or even lies. The ZiaSun press releases were all accurate in my opinion at the time. Tell it to the judge. Maybe you can then explain how all the hypey financials went poof when it came time to file with the SEC. CMB

Frank, You seem to be now touting the party line that getting rid of Momentum is good and the future is this deal with the McKenna group. Perhaps you can tell us why the McKenna deal is so great for ZSUN. They are pledging to spend money that I don't think they have right now, with McKenna, and McKenna will develope some B2B websites. What history does McKenna have in the B2B business? What makes you so confident that this is a good deal for the shareholder? Can we expect you to now cut and past B2B article after B2B article like a good lil tout should? CMB

Well ya know what FrankenPunk, your opinion SUX! "in my opinion he's upset because he sold out before the prices went up some time ago" And so now he's happy with the stock back where it belongs?You are soooooo full-o-sheet. Give this to your pal Randy Berg, the "smallcapro" LOL: " SEC Debates Plan for Firms to Disclose News to Analysts, Public at Same Time By MICHAEL SCHROEDER Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WASHINGTON -- The Securities and Exchange Commission is divided over a controversial proposal to require companies to disclose important information publicly at the same time that it's shared in private conversations with Wall Street analysts. Although passage isn't certain, SEC officials are confident the proposal will be adopted at a meeting scheduled for Thursday. SEC staff members are considering modifying the proposed rule to gain support of three of the four commissioners. Commissioner Laura Unger said she is "still undecided" and finds the proposal "potentially overreaching." Ms. Unger questions whether the rule is necessary, because companies already are voluntarily increasing their communications with investors via the Internet and other forums. The swing vote apparently is Commissioner Isaac Hunt. Mr. Hunt, who has raised objections in the past, didn't return phone calls seeking comment. The strongest advocate for the proposal is Chairman Arthur Levitt, who has complained in the past two years about companies' tradition of discussing important developments during conference calls with Wall Street analysts. Critics of so-called selective disclosure argue that the practice gives an unfair advantage to broker-dealers and their clients who gain access to market-moving information ahead of individual investors. Along with Mr. Levitt, Commissioner Paul Carey has supported the proposed rule. "The rule will create a fairer world for investors and inhibit the perverse use of selective disclosure," said Harvey Goldschmid, former SEC general counsel. While public companies generally have been supportive, the SEC has modified the initial proposal to make it more palatable. The current draft makes it clear that violating the proposed disclosure rules wouldn't be considered fraud. The regulation also insulates companies from private lawsuits arising from violations of the new rule. The SEC also clarified that the rule applies only to senior executives, not lower-level executives in their communication with customers and suppliers. Other kinds of communication, including company contact with journalists and securities-ratings concerns, such as Moody's Investors Service Inc., also would be exempt from the regulation. Securities-industry critics say the rule would chill communication. They say companies will find it easier to limit contact between executives and analysts, avoiding a decision about when to issue releases. "We think the rule, while offered with the best of intentions, is going to backfire," said Stuart Kaswell, general counsel of the Securities Industry Association. The rule doesn't prevent communication between public-company executives and Wall Street analysts -- just the disclosure of market-moving information to a select few. As initially proposed, the SEC would require public corporations that intentionally disclose market-moving information to some analysts to make the information public simultaneously, either by issuing a news release or filing it with the SEC. Inadvertent selective disclosure, such as an off-the-cuff remark in a chance meeting or phone call, would have to be publicized as soon possible after the fact, generally within 24 hours. Dow Jones & Co., publisher of The Wall Street Journal and WSJ.com, objected that the proposal could inhibit reporters' interviews with corporate executives, interfering with constitutional rights under the First Amendment. Peter Skinner, general counsel of Dow Jones, said the SEC staff has taken publishers' concerns "under advisement," and he is hopeful the final proposal won't apply to journalists. The latest draft of the rule exempts the news media.

US Offers to Help Philippines Draft Money Laundering Law Manila, Aug. 8 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Treasury Department will send a team to help authorities draft anti-money laundering measures in the Philippines, named as one of 15 countries whose banking and tax laws make it a likely money laundering center. ``The U.S. feels we have an environment conducive for money laundering,'' said Central Bank Governor Rafael Buenaventura, who just returned from an official visit to the U.S. with President Joseph Estrada. ``If we do not solve this problem, our remittances and transactions overseas will be subjected to undue scrutiny.'' The Philippines aims to curb use of the country's strict bank secrecy laws to hide the proceeds of illegal activities, such as narcotics trafficking, fraud and racketeering. Current law prevents even banking regulators from inspecting accounts unless they have a court order. Buenaventura said anti-money laundering measures may also be discussed when the International Monetary Fund conducts its final review of the Philippines' economic and financial program in October. ``The IMF will bring it up even if it's not part of the original program,'' he said. Buenaventura said the government will propose a new law allowing the central bank greater access to information on bank deposits, adding that strict guidelines will be followed to ensure access isn't abused. For example, only deposits of more than $1 million will be subject to scrutiny, and central bank officials may gather information only with the unanimous approval of the Monetary Board, the central bank's highest policy-making body, he said.

"The real question should be how are Swiftrade's marketing tactics different from other online stock trading portals?" "Another Amber/Capital Grp. lie with regard to Swiftrade:" By: speculor $$ Reply To: None Sunday, 13 Aug 2000 at 11:02 AM EDT Post # of 24895 Another Amber/Capital Grp. lie with regard to Swiftrade: Amber/Capital Group (cgeurope.com) has repeatedly stated in the open that swiftrade.com is the first and only portal in the world offering three different stock exchanges on one portal. Now this is an abvious lie (or poorly misinformed and unprofessional or rather pathetic): Evidence: uobstrader.com.sg offer 12 different exchanges!! www.dljdirect.com offers the US, UK and Japanese markets. And there are also a whole range of online discount brokers in Europe offering to trade various markets on one portal for quite some time now. Investor and Amber/Capital Grp. client beware!!
