'Plug and Play' Program for On-Line Stock Trading SAN DIEGO, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- ZiaSun Technologies Inc (OTC Bulletin Board: ZSUN - news; www.ziasun.com) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Momentum Internet Inc (www.momentumplus.com), is about to launch a program that will allow brokerage houses around the world to offer secure on-line stock trading. The program will work in almost any market and broker firms can elect to launch their own websites under their own brand names, or join Momentum's on-line stock trading portal website, Swiftrade www.swiftrade.com. Currently, Swiftrade is geared toward the internationally-based investor trading on major US stock markets. However, Swiftrade plans to start adding other major markets shortly, beginning with Hong Kong and London, where it is already in advanced negotiations with well-established and reputable broker firms. While development of the program and its encrypted transaction features has been tailored for brokerages joining the Swiftrade portal, it can also be used by brokerages to establish their own on-line stock trading systems. Mr Anthony L. Tobin, President and CEO of ZiaSun Technologies, said that the program had taken a team of Momentum programmers four months to develop and would incorporate a host of multi-lingual information features from one of the world's leading suppliers, including stock prices from all major markets, the latest financial news, charts, historical data and analysis. ``What we have developed is virtually a 'plug and play' on-line stock trading system for brokers around the world,'' he said.
