MDIH - Wish someone would talk to the right person and get something firm on this regarding future plans. It seems that ABFG may have taken off. Up 6 or 7 cents and was already expected to go up tomorrow. Might want to take a look. I let DELL go to get more. Raven

Killer day in the Swamp. EBLD, WAST, CRNC, IGHS, TLWN all had great days. CRNC announced a conference call for April 5, signalling that their acquisitions either complete or very close to completion. Consolidated revenues of combined companies: $77 million, $1.11/share earnings, fully diluted. chronicleinc.com IGHS also announced a conference call for next Wednesday. Expecting them to give some details on recently signed deals, as well as proforma projections on revenue and earnings for 1999. I think it will be surprising, they spent money on developing their system the last few years, this year and going forward they will reap the benefits. ighs.com TLWN is expecting news tomorrow and possibly even bigger news next week. Rumored to be some major orders coming in for their lawn trimmers. CEO has said that there will be a steady stream of releases the next couple of months. trim-a-lawn.com WAST is kicking butt the last couple of days. Closed strong today on heavy volume, take a peak at the bid/ask volume, stacked 410:1 on the bid. Too many buyers, not enough sellers. Good situation for all except those holding short positions. Expecting news tomorrow which should shed details on the recently announced dismissal of the involuntary bankruptcy proceedings, and hopefully what it means to the company and shareholders (including possible cancellation of 63 million shares that they were forced to issue to debenture holders). EBLD had great news today, signed a letter of intent to acquire a very popular (LYCOS Top 5%) e-commerce company, eMerchant, whose flagship site is emerchandise.com. This site fits in terrifically with entertainmentblvd.com and will add immediate cash flow to the company. Gator

Jeffrey, that's another reason why I am so bullish on ZSUN.... ZiaSun to Launch Major Asian e-Commerce Portal SAN DIEGO, March 24 /PRNewswire/ -- ZiaSun Technologies Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ZSUN - news; www.ziasun.com) has announced it will shortly launch an Asian oriented e-commerce portal called ''Asia4Sale'' (www.asia4sale.com), based in Hong Kong. Mr. Anthony L. Tobin, President and CEO of ZiaSun said, ''The project is currently in an advanced stage of development. We have teams of programmers working on this in Hong Kong and Manila. A major marketing drive is also being planned from our regional headquarters in Hong Kong.'' Asia4Sale will be a three-part e-commerce facility catering to the global market offering home shopping, industrial auctions and business barter. The home shopping network, ''ShoppingAsia,'' will allow on-line shoppers anywhere in the world to order goods direct from manufacturers in Asia, and have these purchases delivered direct to their door. The second component of the e-commerce hub will be an industrial auctions service, ''AuctionAsia,'' whereby businesses, dealers or individuals all over the world will be able to buy or sell heavy equipment, vehicles, machinery, stock lots, etc., in the Asian region, through the company's on-line auctions. It is much like an industrial e-Bay, but we will be performing more like a traditional auctioneer, by taking legal possession of the goods and collecting payments. This will avoid the sort of legal problems experienced by other on-line auction services when sellers have failed to deliver goods to the buyers,'' said Mr. Tobin. ZiaSun's Asia4Sale portal will be greatly enhanced by its recent acquisition of Pacific Barter Ltd (www.pacificbarter.com), an Asia-based operation specializing in business-to-business barter transactions, the third principal element of the e-commerce hub, ''BarterAsia.'' Pacific Barter's exchange system allows its member clients to trade without the use of cash. The company acts as a third party clearing house for transactions between members, and takes its revenues from commissions. Mr. Tobin said that ZiaSun's expertise would be used to expand Pacific Barter, particularly on the Internet. The barter operations would be integrated into the Asia4Sale project, he added. Market research group International Data Corporation (IDC) were recently quoted as predicting that electronic commerce in the Asia-Pacific region (excluding Japan) would reach US$16.5 billion by 2001. The number of Internet users is expected to grow from about five million in 1997 to more than 25 million, according to IDC. The Asia-Pacific market may end up having the largest number of e-commerce customers in the world by the turn of the century, they predict. ''ZiaSun, with its operations in Asia, is perfectly positioned to benefit from this phenomenal growth,'' said Mr. Tobin. ''Asia4Sale represents a major push into this area.'' The company was making substantial investments in Asia, and Asia4Sale would be the e-commerce flagship, he said. ZiaSun's statement comes hot on the heels of a joint-venture deal struck just days ago between Microsoft Corporation and Hongkong Telecom, who on March 9 announced plans to develop a high-speed Internet service, providing shopping, movies, news, music and software via home personal computers and televisions. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates was in Hong Kong, now a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China, for the announcement, which also coincided with a commitment from the software giant to participate in a HK$13 billion (US$1.66 billion) cyberport being developed by the government. ZiaSun Technologies is a provider of Internet products and services and Internet-focused support services. ZiaSun's primary Internet services include: Swiftrade (www.swiftrade.com), M Finance (www.mfinance.com), PINmail (www.pinmail.com), MediaHits (www.mediahits.com) and Search Dragon (www.searchdragon.com).

Jeffrey, this is a re-post, in reply to a comment on REVERSE SPLITS... MakeMoney, relax! With all due respect to your experience, you're incorrect... Not all companies go down the tube when they happen to have a reverse split, provided, as I have earlier stated, the Company is fundamentally sound and has positive revenues and a sensible Business Plan, there is no proverbial kiss of death. On the contrary, it may well fortify the Company. I have reviewed the link previously given and narrowed it to the essential. This guy is actually proving you wrong, not me. Show me how his analysis is incorrect and "pick it to death" if you so wish. napeague.com Regards, F. Goelo + + +
