Andrew, The tone of your recent posts suggests you are not as much of a "long" as it seemed only a few weeks ago. Patience is a virtue. Paisano

An alternative scenario such as that could easily work. Been done before, will be done again. Just need the right people involved. Microsoft comes along and behind the scenes says, "I like your business model, we'd like to buy 10,000,000 shares, 10% of the company and we'll pay the company $1.50 each share." OK let's take a look. Microsoft does this behind the scenes by written agreement. Not yet public. No money has changed hands yet. However it's essentially all done. Tomorrow morning we all wake up and find a PR. It has happened, or is scheduled to happen on the 15th of June. Guess who else finds out? The entire investment world. Aside from now knowing that $15,000,000 will be in TSIG's hands by the 15th of June, guess what happens to TSIG's share price? Does it go up? Where? I'd say more than $5. Then what kind of a deal was it for Microsoft? They come out instant net winners before the company makes dollar one. Let's go further. Could this happen? We all believe that the plan will work and work well. I believe that credible investment and technology partners can also be convinced that it would work well. Then why hasn't it been done. And now... "the rest of the story." TSIG has some core problems. It's trading history is clouded in anomalies. It's CEO and other controlling Board member have been involved in a bankruptcy... at Phoenix. There's history there. The CEO has a compliance problem in his past with a cease and desist order from the SEC. freeedgar.com; Year=99&SECindex=2447&Extension=.tst&PathFlag=0&TextFileSize=394020&SFType= &SDFiled=&DateFiled=4/1/99&SourcePage=FilingsResults&UseFrame=1&OEMSource= &FormType=10KSB&CompanyName=TELESERVICES+INTERNATIONAL+GROUP+INC On September 30, 1994, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Order Instituting Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act") and Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"), Making Findings and Imposing a Cease and Desist Order against Harvest International of America, Inc. ("Harvest"), a privately held corporation, and Robert P. Gordon. The findings and remedial sanctions imposed by the Order were in accordance with Offers of Settlement dated July 24, 1994 submitted by Harvest and Mr. Gordon, which the S.E.C. accepted. Without admitting or denying liability, Harvest and Mr. Gordon consented to the Cease and Desist Order alleging violations of Section 17(a) of the 1933 Act and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the 1934 Act by reason of alleged misrepresentations in 1990 and 1991 in connection with the offer or sale of Harvest non-interest bearing promissory notes convertible into common stock of the predecessors of Phoenix Information Systems Corp. and one of its subsidiaries and which common stock was to have been issued and registered within 30 or 60 days from the dates of the various notes. Harvest is now known as Heaven International, Inc. The board of directors could be determined by the reasonable man principle to be under the singular control of this one person. The Board has approved a loan agreement that benefits this individual at the expense of extreme shareholder dilution. This CEO has absolutely no recent history, 7 or 8 years anyway, of showing a growing revenue stream much less a profit. Listed above are just a few of the reasons that our company probably wouldn't qualify, no matter how great the plan, for a credible going concern to take the above action. Now if the CEO understands these things then he may be enough of a realist to step upstairs and free the Board, appoint a credible CEO with a winning background, and then TSIG might be able to go forward. Then we'd all be winners, especially the CEO and his 14,000,000 shares. Just a few thoughts, SC

"Suzanne, while I usually regard your posts as realistic, I don't see how the term "realistic" can be applied to the idea that someone is going to buy shares at 2.5 X the current market price. Usually big buyers get a big discount. They don't pay a huge premium." So, Andrew, think I'm losing my touch? The way it has been explained to me is that if a company wanted to take a stake in TSIG, they would make an offer to buy several million shares directly from the company at a premium to the current market price. Thus the company would avoid a large expense in brokerage fees. Also, if the company went into the open market and tried to buy several million shares, it would drive the price up anyway. Also, the fact that some company took a major position in the company would tend to drive up the price again because people would take notice. My numbers were a reasonable guess. Regards, Suzanne
