Thats nice. How about ZSUN put it in writing in a press release instead of having some stooge post it on ragingbull. What a joke. Why dont they just issue those audited returns. They said they are done. Why woulndn't they show them now with all the problems they are having. They said they were done. Its real easy to issue them in a press release.

"Answer: This was not even close to being misleading. The press release made very clear that they were just comparing their operations to that of AOL as a proof of concept."

I don't think so. Here's the press release:

SAN DIEGO, Calif., April 1 /PRNewswire/ -- ZiaSun technologies Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ZSUN) (www.ziasun.com) today launched ServiceLive, an all-new 24-hour, e-mail based customer service that provides real-time, round-the-clock customer service to client sites. The service is used to handle large volumes of e-mail inquiries from ZiaSun's own high-traffic Web sites, and is now being expanded to handle the same service on a contract basis to other Internet companies.

Director of ServiceLive, Mr. Eric Montandon, said, "This is an obvious move for ZiaSun. It allows us to use our existing, well-equipped facilities, and take advantage of the reasonably priced, educated labor force in this part of Asia to provide a quality service to other on-line publishers.

"The cost of doing this is a fraction of what website owners in the U.S. and Europe are paying. America On-line discovered this fact when they developed a pilot e-mail response center in ZiaSun's Clark facility.AOL has expanded their own center to over 300 people, which according to AOL management will save them U.S.$15 Million per year.

"We recognized that our facility was ideal, economic conditions are perfect in Asia relative to the U.S., and customer service is becoming a major factor of successful Internet products," said Mr. Montandon. "As the Internet grows, there is an increasing focus on premium interaction between businesses and users. ServiceLive employs high-bandwidth Internet connections and an English-speaking Asian labor force to provide competent, large-scale, round-the-clock support to your Internet site."

ZiaSun's strategy focuses on providing added value through service. "Service is an ever important aspect in doing business online. Take for example the process of opening an on-line trading account. Swiftrade -- our on-line stock trading system, researched and analyzed sites such as E*trade, Datek, Suretrade and Ameritrade to make it easier for customers to open accounts. Our value-added link is customer service -- by having someone there to talk you through the process."

"AOL proved to us that we were onto a worthwhile idea, and we believe other high traffic Web site owners would be glad to offer ZiaSun a profit margin in return for saving them large amounts of dollars.

Mr. Montandon said ServiceLive was currently working well with the group's own popular Web sites, like Swiftrade (www.swiftrade.com), M Finance (www.mfinance.com), and Asia4Sale (www.asia4sale.com), and had assisted in setting-up the AOL pilot project.

Editors and investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements invoke risk and uncertainties that may affect the company's business prospects and performance.

Let's talk about Stock Detective.

Lynn N. Duke, senior staff writer and assistant editor, is Stock Detective's reporter/writer. Lynn is an award-winning journalist with over 10 years' daily reporting experience. She has worked at the New York Times regional newspapers in Florida and at the St. Petersburg Times.

What is Stock Detective's track record?

As of this writing (November 15, 1998), Stock Detective has not been proven wrong in its basic analysis of any company it has covered. While most companies featured are only briefly mentioned, as in Red Light District, in the detailed reports in Stock Detective's Stinky Stocks department we've established a remarkable record of warning investors to the potential perils of certain stocks. Of 16 companies profiled in Stinky Stocks through November 15, 1998, all but one have declined in price since the date they were initially mentioned. One company has ceased operations, another has been indefinitely suspended from trading by the SEC and two others have class-action investor lawsuits against them. More importantly, we do not know of any companies featured that have proven our analysis wrong by simply fulfilling their own claims upon which we had cast doubt.

What do other people think of Stock Detective?

There's little middle ground of opinions about Stock Detective; it's either love or hate. Stock Detective receives correspondence from all around the world, the vast majority praising our efforts or offering tips on potential Stinky Stocks or other scams.

Our peers in the financial press have also been generous in their praise of Stock Detective. In the August 1998 special Internet edition of Worth magazine, Stock Detective was selected as one of only 9 recommended financial web sites, included with better-known sites such as Motley Fool, theStreet.com and The Wall Street Journal Interactive Edition. Stock Detective also has been mentioned or praised on Money.com, Forbes, CNBC, Smart Money, Motley Fool, PC Week, Net Guide and elsewhere.

A vocal minority of readers, however, has issued vehement criticism of Stock Detective. These critics nearly always are promoters, officers or shareholders of companies we have discussed in our articles. Clearly, these disgruntled readers are protecting their own vested interests and do not appreciate our unflattering disclosures. In our view, this must mean we're doing something right.

"PR Newswire - April 19, 1999 05:35

SAN DIEGO, April 19 /PRNewswire/ -- ZiaSun Technologies Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: ZSUN) (www.ziasun.com) today announced the completion of the consolidated audit of the 1998 financial statements of the company and its subsidiaries.

Combined net income was $1,152,210 on revenues of $3,537,397. Net income equates to $0.11 per fully diluted share at the end of 1998. Complete audited financial statements will be made public in due course."


So, how friggin long is "due course"? They've got them. They're audited. So let's see them!!!!! If they don't release these financials very soon (like a day or two) then it should be painfully obvious to everyone, including Frenchy and the longs, that they have something to hide and are full of sh*t. I welcome any long to offer one viable reason why they should not release these financials. You can't!! You know why...., because there is none. REAL companies don't play these games. "we can't show you our financials, but we'll give you a trip to Hong Kong"...LOL, What a bunch of sleazy scam artists.
