Looks like the shorters have been active again. A lot of effort
devoted to scaring a few shareholders to sell. As has been pointed
out before, most of us have already sold enough to cover our
original investment, and are playing with house money. We aren't
going to be selling on the basis of a few baseless posts, so obviously
designed to scare would-be investors. These fellows are really
amateurish in their posts, signaling their intention from the start.

The charts tell all, and no matter what these shorters say, the
stock behavior has been steady, and it appears to have held
up very well in the mid 20's, after the recent rapid rise to the
mid 30's. I expect higher prices in the next several weeks.

The Asian internet play is underway, and it looks like Zsun is one
of the main, serious players.

Regards

Dan

More Evidence of ZiaSun involvement in spamming, this time to promote Momentum Finance (aka as Mfinance).

Now, I don't expect everyone to be able to decipher the following, unless you have some UNIX knowledge. Perhaps a patient third party would be kind enough to explain it to the newbies.

Courtesy of some friends on USENET, here is evidence linking Momentum / Anthony Tobin / ZiaSun to the spamming of newsgroups with ads for mfinance.

The typical spamvertisement is posted via imsbiz.com/hkt.net and looks like this:

From: mf@pinmail.com
Newsgroups: misc.invest.stocks
Subject: Win $5,000 - Momentum Finance
NNTP-Posting-Host: 202.84.175.165
Message-ID: <3623544a.0@news01.imsbiz.com>
Path: news3.enter.net!newsserver.jvnc.net!newshub.northeast.verio.net!news
+ -peer.gip.net!news.gsl.net!gip.net!newsfeed.cwix.com!202.84.255.3!
+ news.hkt.net!news01.imsbiz.com!202.84.175.165 Remember this number...

MOMENTUM FINANCE
Global markets - Free financial data and news. PLUS the chance to win a $5,000 on-line stock trading account.
mfinance.com

Now, to find out the source of the spam, we need to find out who is 202.84.175.165 (This is called a Reverse DNS Lookup, for the newbies, and so FG and Lou can follow along)

: Registrant:
: Momentum Internet Inc. (MOMENTUMPLUS-DOM)
: PO Box 71, Craigmuir Chambers, Road
: Town
: Tortola, n/a n/a
: VG
: momentum-hk.com
: origin = momentum.com.hk
: mail addr = gdaley.momentum.com.hk
: momentum-hk.com nameserver = ws1.momentum-hk.com
: momentum-hk.com nameserver = ns2.momentum.com.hk
: ws1.momentum-hk.com internet address = 204.254.71.158
: ns2.momentum.com.hk internet address = 202.84.175.165

Hey, look at that! I think we are on to something here....Let's go a little further, using a whois lookup.
