JOHN , i've heard recently that there is a major anouncement right after the chinese newyear is over. What i'm hearing is that they will not only get an upgrade at the hongkong jockey club but a joint venture with Berjyia and the jockey club to expand into mainland china.Remember they were consulting with the chinese governtment the first part of last year ITSI was involved too.Also Berjya has the rights to 3 proviences in china that are larger than the whole U.S. lotto.Who do you think berjya will buy lotto equipment from?Thats why he is putting money into company because of the size of this deal.Look at the volume its picking up every day.Volume preceeds price.There is a large buyer in there .Index funds are buying also.The number of fund holdings has went from 4 to 7.I know for a fact that there are some major players ready to take substanial positions in ITSI because i introduced them to the company they already own large ones now and will increase them on any anouncement. Of the 10 million float i know where aproximatly 6 million of the stock is held and it is not coming out anytime soon.So the more stock we can take off the market the higher it will go when the news comes.Thats what happened in 93 we took alot of stock off the market and then brought in Bear Stearns when everyone was good and short.Bottom line is the stock is cheap and close to making a major move. IM taking it up with or without you guys how do you think it went to 2 5/16 on the first run ? I brought in 3 million shares of buying ,but the company didnt follow thru with any news and then you had tax loss selling.

John, I would be very suspect of this guy Shawn (nothing personal, Shawn). He is following the typical pattern of the "false prophet" (an idea that has been discussed at length on the BNGO and NRAG threads). It has been suggested that these small companies may even hire someone to pump hype on their stock over the internet discussion forums in order to raise the price. I'm not insinuating that Shawn is one of these persons, but you really never know for sure. I noticed that he is posting all over the place for ITSI...really beating the bushes with fantastic, insider-sounding, claims. Here are just three of his recent posts on three DIFFERENT threads (none of which was the ITSI thread): ********************************************* To: John Liu (3742 ) From: shawn a. becker Monday, Jan 5 1998 7:56AM EST Reply # of 4225 BUY ITSI at a 1$ to 1 1/2 level look for 3 by the end of Janurary and 6 to 8 by spring . ******************************************* To: James (1531 ) From: shawn a. becker Thursday, Jan 15 1998 11:58PM EST Reply # of 1543 BUY ITSI should triple before end of the month expect news to start flowing out of company next week and then keep coming ******************************************* To: Bo Didley (594 ) From: shawn a. becker Monday, Jan 5 1998 9:27AM EST Reply # of 629 EXPECT 100 to 300% move soon in ITSI .News is coming soon . ********************************************* I'd be very suspect of anyone throwing around claims like these about a BB stock. Something just doesn't smell right in Denmark....but don't get me wrong, because I hope the guy's right. I already own ITSI, but I'm not about to buy more until I see some concrete results (in terms of earnings and contracts). Vinnie
