Back to FAMH (for the 5th time today ..ugh) One thing we all need to remember, and really be excited about (no this is not hype just LOGIC) is the float. Although no one can ever seem to tell the outstanding shares with this company (are we still around 42M? We dont even know) .. we are assuming the float is currenltly around 12M. After this merger goes through.. yes we have our stock holdings reduced by 1:4 (and price up 4:1) but just remember the shares AVAILABLE for anyone NEW to buy will be reduced by 75% as well. If you/we/I have the discipline to HOLD---even less becomes available to new investors to buy..driving the price up much more quickly. Even though the NASDAQ MM's ain't saints themselves, I'm going to be much more at ease seeing this scenario develop on that market than this one. The float "should be" around 4M... but in the 4M to 5M share range at most. That along with new exposure on NASDAQ. Being listed in Investors Business Daily and Wall Street Journal stock tables on a daily basis. Think about it. Just think about it.. remember the stock market is about supply and demand. Some ridiculous companies trade at $80 because there is a demand for the stock and their "potential"... some very good companies trade for $6 because for some reason there is no demand. With FAMH... you will have 1) Increased demand, because more people will allow themselves to touch it because its not listed on OTC-BB anymore. (I know myself, I didnt touch OTC BB stocks until 1/2 a year ago) 2) Supply (float) gets cut down to 25% of current levels. So increased demand + HUGELY reduced supply = slingshot effect. Do NOT underestimate the effect of a small float. Thoughts...(not hype) Mark

<OFF TOPIC> RESPONSE TO FOREST GUMP'S "ATTACK" OF MY EARLIER POST ON TSIS AND MY EFFORT TO GIVE OTHERS SOME WELL THOUGHT OUT PENNY STOCK PICKS.....PLUS...(see below re: starting a SERIOUS PENNY STOCK RESEARCH GROUP) My message was #10590 in case you wish to see it TO: FOREST GUMP " Well, as MY Mom never really said.... "stupid is as stupid does" but I guess yours said that often to you (sorry, couldn't resist) I was amazed but not really surprised to see your reply of "WARNING!!!" to me (in PUBLIC yet) about my earlier post on Saturday in which I recommended that others might want to take a look at TSIS. Especially so, since I received so many "thank you's" and even the below response from one of the most respected and knowledgeable people at SI, Sandie M, from the Tokyo Mex Cafe and other threads. ******** To: Robert Kruse From: Sandie McGuinness Saturday, Apr 4 1998 3:43PM EST You should start a new letter. Gobs of people would subscribe. Think about it. I personally do not play momentum stocks. Only pennies going to show RTNK style or TAVA life. Enjoy it's lovely here today. Sandie ************** Here were my reasons for posting the earlier information: 1) There are not enough serious people doing good Due Diligence on Penny Stock companies.....and not enough GOOD PENNY STOCK PICKS. Look at CyberWHispers...it's a mish mash and recipe for disaster. TOO many people are LOSING TOO MUCH MONEY on lousy BB stock companies based solely on someone's hype-talk. I thought my post on TSIS at least presented factual information and a toll free number to call IR and even a list of their FORTUNE 1000 clients. It's a start and that's the point....to hopefully start a SERIOUS trend of quality posts on SI by others. Everybody likes to hype their favorite stock but no one seems to be doing lots of DD, except a few like Byron on the DGIV thread who actually drove to meet with the President of the company. 2) If anyone else has a reliable source for finding great STOCK BARGAINS that are properly DD'd...please let all of us know. There especially doesn't seem to be many companies out there that have their worst days behind them and are poised to now GAIN GROUND rapidly. I am particularly concerned about how much DOWNSIDE RISK so many pennies have....that's why I look for companies like TSIS that have turned the corner. Maybe it will still be a disaster stock..make up your own mind...I don't have a crystal ball, but am excited about it. Yes, and I hope it goes up a lot, so I make lots of money. BTW...like most of you, I am a small investor ($1,500-$4,000 per investment typically). 3) My goal is to increase the odds of finding good companies....I do not charge for this service......I do not have a newsletter....I personally PAY for the TIME AND MONEY to do reasonably good DD (IMO). MY Long distance phone bill in March for calling potential candidates for investment was $145. As far as posting this information on more than one thread, I would think the answer is obvious.....not everyone is even aware that these other threads exist.....You are a person who happens to visit the same threads that I do, but I find it amazing that you would think everyone does. Also, I titled my post <OFF TOPIC>... proper etiquette and I sure think it it worth OVER-exposing people to a good company than not enough. I sure wish I would have gotten into some good companies sooner or bought more of something that someone ELSE had done good DD on...... MAYBE I'M WRONG BUT if I saw a post like mine, I would have taken it seriously and called the company and tried their product and done my own DD MAYBE I'M WRONG BUT I sure THINK MY POST WAS POTENTIALLY MORE REWARDING THAT sifting through the countless banter of whether Jane is gay or Jonathan Lebed a bozo...or the countless other garage that helps no one make money or suggest hard to find ideas that at least might help.... nuff said. ROBER KRUSE "THE KRUSER" PS- oh, btw, I don't belong to SI yet...I plan on thoroughly using it for 30 days..so far not enough quality ideas for investing yet...anyone else interested in STARTING AN EMAIL BASED INVESTMENT IDEA CLUB!!! Send your response to bobk@edtech.com if you want to start a group of us who want to make money and will work hard and do good DD. The goal will be to MAKE money with minimal risk. EVERYONE WILL BE REQUIRED TO DO HIGH QUALITY DD and then we will share our ideas
