John: I know the answer to some very important questions that you asked. First, Michael Sheppard is not a fast-buck artist. He has a very positive track record as a legitimate and successful businessman. On this issue, nobody, not even the worst bashers, have ever suggested otherwise. The Siemens connection is also real. They have supported Michael in past enterprises and continue to support him in this one. Siemens has made quite an investment in manpower and machinery to help make FNTN a success - and that is Siemens' stated and on-the-record mission. Michael Sheppard has devoted a number of years of his life in the building and implementation of Financial Intranet. He has taken a floundering company with a great idea, high debt and no direction to a company on the verge of great success. As for a jump in stock price after the SB-2 is filed - yes, there will probably be a jump because past doubters will buy in. It doesn't matter . If all is progressing as it appears, the jump that we all look forward to will happen by the end of the quarter. I'm no polyanna - FNTN is still a BB and we will not feel totally secure until they are reporting and we know more about their sales successes. However, we have much reason to feel positive - Part real, part rumor - but all good. regards, Wally

Re: "I think we have the full spectrum of believers and non-believers here." John, After reading your last post I went back and read all your posts on FNTN, from your first post on April 13. As well as your Profile. This is not a post of flame but one of hopefully helping another investor. I noticed that your new to online, and previously you were in Mutual Funds for 10 years. The obvious difference between investing for one self rather than investing in Mutual Funds, is Due Diligence, and documenting what you find, so you can review it from time to time to evaluate your position. In all honesty what I've seen so far in your FNTN posts is a little HELTER SKELTER. From your latest post: I am just hoping and praying that MS knows what the hell he is doing and that he is not just another guy trying to make a fast buck through the OTC market. Just can't tell at this point... Yet in the past 17 days you have stated: Perhaps I need to re-evaluate my objectives with FNTN. They certainly have an excellent management team from what I can tell, and they are in a good market space, obviously. Thanks again. Good posts in the last couple of days. Very encouraging information on FNTN. They validate the promise and opportunity that this company and management team provide. Let's continue: What is uncertain of course is the advent of new business revenues. Here you need to apply some DD. If you don't know what is happening behind the scenes, I'm not going to Hype or provide info that is not yet been reported, but have heard of a few things and have a very positive feel for a lot more. But what I will state is the fact that by the end of June or before FNTN's Advertising Campaign will begin on CNBC according to MS. Surely this might bring in a few bucks in new business revenue. I think we have the full spectrum of believers and non-believers here. There is a full Spectrum of non- believers here? Please all Non-Believers post with Non-Believer on the First Line. As I did not think there were that many of you out there. All that DD and I still don't know what's going on. <G> If you are a TA, then FNTN looks ready to jump to a new level of support above 1.5. If you believe some of the broad hints being posted, which are unsubstantiated by hard evidence unfortunately, FNTN could bust through $2 in the near future. I've even heard predictions it will fall back to 50 cents as people who are impatient with this stock just sell so they can move on to more certain prospects. From where did you hear these predictions? I hope your right! I want to buy more at $0.50! The following is IMHO only, I feel we won't see $0.50 again. FNTN future outlook over the next 6 months may look like this. 1) Become fully reporting very near term. 2) Work on getting it's share price up to at least $4. so they can be listed on the Nasdaq. To do that the following may occur: 3) Ad Campaign on CNBC 4) Followed by 3 or 4 rapid fire PR's on finalized Signed Deals. 5) These PR's to be followed by a PR from Siemens on FNTN. From this point. 5) Price Rises above $4. and FNTN is listed on the Nasdaq. 6) Brokers which may own FNTN in their Personal Portfolio's, begin sharing information on FNTN with their clients. 7) Share price moves above $10. 8) FNTN begins negations with numerous companies as CNBC Ads take effect. 10) Intranet companies start rising in popularly as the next hot technology area. Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong. Two years of work for a startup company is beginning to pay off, a startup company, which at my last count, has no Debt! If you invest in a company without DD to make a fast buck, and the fast buck does not materialize, get out, unless you have patience and confidence in the company. Regards, JW@KSC
