Disclaimer: I own shares of IDWD, so take that into consideration...
I'd like to state my take on IDWD, and if anyone is willing, I'd very much like to hear opposing views, as I'm trying to learn while trading.
My take is this: IDWD is currently priced at .43, and has announced a dividend payment valued at $1.10. Before this announcement, the stock was trading at approximately .15-.20. Assuming that you add approximately the dividend value to the stock price, the stock price at the close of business the day before the ex-dividend date should be about $1.25-$1.30. Since the dates and final dividend plans are supposed to be announced pre-market this Thursday, it seems like there is a very good possibility that the stock price could rise 200% in the next three trading days.
The other extreme is that the dividend is cancelled and my guess is that the stock price would come back to its recent price of about .20.
I'm a gambler by nature, so maybe that's what's screwing me up, but if I see a chance of gaining 200% or losing 60%, I'm usually willing to take that chance.
My opinion is that there are enough people out there like me that will be willing to throw a few bucks down on this in hopes that it's the 200% scenario that comes to fruition rather than the -60% scenario, and the stock price will rise significantly because of that.
Like I said at the beginning, I'd like to hear from someone who disagrees, to help explain to me what point(s) I am missing in this obviously simplified analysis.
(Also, people who are "buys" feel free to chime in with additional bits of info that I have forgotten)
Thanks to all in advance

My plan here, as I'm out right now. I made a very nice coin on it last week, is if there is another wave, I'm riding, but doubtfully hanging in the whole time til the Divy, at least unless news comes out. I got out at .53 (was in at .12) and am hoping to ride again in the news. Not sure if I'll hold though.

It would seem that your assessment is fairly accurate except for one thing. If the dividend is cancelled or is found to be a scam, the stock will not revert to it's old level it will have little or no value at all.
If you decide to stay in and it does begin to go up take some profit to cover yourself and gamble with the rest. My gut tells me no one will ever see a cash dividend but I could be wrong.

I just spent the last few hours reading posts on another board. It was the first time there found it by googling IDWD. It appears that this dividend "Scam" was used last October and the the PS ran up and then fell off drastically. I copied one of the posts that surmises What they have found. The interesting thing is that we seemed to have come to the same conclusions as we went through the ride last week.
Post #of 7796
A Brief History of IDWD
aug/sept/oct 2005: -Datatech starts pumping -Some early superheros already knew the business deals look scammy but Databoy's vehement pumping overtakes the board. -Datatech begins calling anyone who doesn't agree an "idiot/ moron" and he's always buying 400,000 more shares. -Divvy's gonna be a dollar a share! -"this company looks very promising" says the pumpers.
oct/nov 2005: - $$$ cash $$$ divvy, 80 cents a share!! PPS goes to $.65! -Datatech supposedly flies to Bankok when there's no ceremony or society meeting being held anywhere. -Award issue gets the attention of the superheros, and eventually confirmed by IEEE chairmen as "some kind of fraud" -Now it's "Oh wait, maybe it's gonna be partly cash partly shares divvy??" -PPS drops to $.10's -fluffy PR's brings PPS up from the dips.
Nov/December 2005: -no no, criss cross that out like Yassarstein, divvy's gonna be restricted shares in 995ad.com! -Superheros discovers the photoshop doctored group photo. -Monster Yassarstein surfaces from the graves. (Datatech's excuse might be, 'Yassar gained 50 pounds in 2 weeks!' LOL) -Website is found to be a Copy & Paste. -More fluffy PR's -no Dubai address -Datatech reveals the buyback will happen only when PPS drops like a rock. -Monster Yassarstein lives but Datatech faded.
January 2006: - Since the 995ad site does not even work properly, folks start saying the dividend might be shares in the HLS division! Yeah that's it!
- Inconsistent PRs: Previous PRs clearly stated a $41.5 million HLS buyout, but this month's PR states that there was never a buyer. - Discovers the hidden pump & dumpers in the past. - "Shell & Sell Sell Sell"... More "Corporate Division" shells created so that Clowns can circle jerk each shell and sell it off as worthless divvies while he's selling dumping the other shares.

IDWD IS A SCAM --- DO NOT RELY ON THE DIVIDEND
The only way you will make money off of this company is by buying before their false news statements and selling when they come out. Look at how unprofessional their news is. (This is from the last one)
"IDS HLS Division expects the patent filing for this technology to be effective this week. This technology will give IDS HLS Division the highest IT Security Product available in the WORLD combining Biometric Technology and IDS HLS Division proprietary 384 Bit Encryption Algorithm."
Oh wow. a penny stock claiming it is going to be part of the best tecnhology in the world.
"IDS Board of Directors will meet next week on February 8, 2006 set the record date for the special dividend and file the necessary requirements with the NASD. Shareholders must own the stock BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which will be set by the NASD. The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE."
And I thought news from before was bad. This news was released today, how are they meeting on February 8th, NEXT WEEK? This was abviously typed by some average joe who didn't proofread anything or really care about what he was saying. Just needed" Oh we're great buy us!"
And who the hell talks about what an ex-dividend date is in your news letter? That is the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen. "Incase you don't know, we're setting this date and you need to BUY US before this date to get our super high dividend.
Enough with this news. It's all BS. They scammed me last October when i didn't realize that a company can lie about things in news. This company is releasing nothing but forward statements. It could just be a guy in his house for all we know.
Let me point out a few key things:
-They actually released news addressing people on message boards saying their stock is crap. What company gives a damn about what message boards are saying? (Only a scam artist would actually be checking them)
-They have been lying since october and will continue to lie
-The Head guy of this company has a criminal record for selling shares he doesn't own
-They claimed to receive a reward that they obviously did not receive. And the spelling on the certificate they uploaded after we found it was false had spelling mistakes on it.
Need anymore reasons to hit that sell button now before the stock plummets?
Just my opinion lol

Wow, thanks to Wally and Dudanation for your insight. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get out at the open, and then it races up 20%. I did end up getting out thanks to you guys, but I'll keep an eye on it from here on out to see what happens.
It's really tough to look at thee things logically when greed can so easily take over your mind. I guess that's why some people can make so much money manipulating stocks like this.
It was definitely a learning experience for me, and for probably the first time in my life it was one where I actually MADE money instead of losing it.
Thanks again to those that replied, and really to everyone that posts here to help peole like me as we learn how all this crazy stuff works.

Nice jop PCola!! I would much rather have the cash in hand and use that to make more instead of "stocks, or taking a chance of losing all I already made".
Stick around and you'll make much more!! These guys are good.

I would suggest that Dudanation has very little insight. He may be correct in some ways, but his statements below are not:
And who the hell talks about what an ex-dividend date is in your news letter? That is the most unprofessional thing I have ever seen. "Incase you don't know, we're setting this date and you need to BUY US before this date to get our super high dividend.
NOTE: Talking about or explaining an x-date is not the least bit unusual. Once a record date is announce it is a very normal practice.
Enough with this news. It's all BS. They scammed me last October when i didn't realize that a company can lie about things in news. This company is releasing nothing but forward statements. It could just be a guy in his house for all we know.
NOTE: He states that he was "scammed". My guess is he bought the stock at higher prices and it later declined substantially. That does NOT constitute a scam. He further stated that they lied about things in the news, but is neither specific nor supplies any verification of that statement.
Let me point out a few key things:
-They actually released news addressing people on message boards saying their stock is crap. What company gives a damn about what message boards are saying? (Only a scam artist would actually be checking them)
NOTE: Again, where is the proof of the above statement? I have been following IDWD a long time and have never seen such a statement with or without proof that it came from the company.
-They have been lying since october and will continue to lie
NOTE: Redundant
-The Head guy of this company has a criminal record for selling shares he doesn't own
NOTE: He is not the only person with the name of Patrick Downs. Again, the above comment is not proven or verified.
-They claimed to receive a reward that they obviously did not receive. And the spelling on the certificate they uploaded after we found it was false had spelling mistakes on it.
NOTE: He must be talking about that award. Check it out again and you will see that the person involved had what we commonly refer to as a surname. I am willing to bet that surname was not checked out and that is the reason the IEEE unit said what they said about a fraud.
As far as I am concerned, the above shows very sloppy and non-existent DD. I do have questions too, but will not base my decisions on that kind of so-called information.

Also, a supposed picture from the IEEE awards. Seems like one person was photoshopped into the picture. Let me know if you can't figure out which one looks odd
These were all images and points made on another board, but based on this, and doing a LOT of reading in the last 12 hours, I'd tend to believe dudanation a lot more than you, Hammer. Sorry.

I can't take the credit. Like I said, I found it on another message board, but am not sure if proper etiquette calls for me to reveal that or not. Didn't want to advertise another board on this one, or bring more attention to that person.
Just wanted to put it out there so that others can see it and decide for themselves which to believe.

IDS Worldwide, Inc. Addresses Certain Misleading Online Postings on Internet Message Boards IDS Announces Posting of CTO Award on IDS Website 11/2/2005 12:44:19 PM
ORLANDO, FL, Nov 02, 2005 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD) today announced that in response to several misleading message posts on fringe Internet stock message board sites that IDS' recent press release of an award to IDS CTO Yasar Khawar did not occur, IDS has posted a scanned copy of the picture of the award ceremony, and a copy of the award itself is posted on the corporate website news section. ...
+++++++ That was the day I decided for sure that they were full of it. I lost money before then, wasn't really that much, and had already sold out, and had no intention what-so-ever of getting back in again after seeing that news. It made the PPS go up and I can't believe people would buy because of that.
I'm not so much attacking the actual news releases, it's more the USE OF WORDING in these PR's. It sounds to me like some guy just typing in some random news. Something that I would have just typed up. I'm not going into detail on proving every little point with evidence here because I know my own position on this company and that is it's going to screw over everyone that buys into the news. If you make money off of other people's stupidity that's great, but there isn't going to be some awesome divident that's going to make everyone win. 99% of these people will lose out on this one.
And before I go, recall I said at the beginning "Just my opinion lol" I wasn't presenting evidence of any sort. Even the above PR that i quoted is still not evidence of anything. But it's MY OPINION that that PR points out that the company is crap. I do not know of any good companies out there that would address message boards online to defend their company or a company that would state an ex-dividend in this manner:
"Shareholders must own the stock BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which will be set by the NASD. The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE"
Ok. Capitalizing BEFORE? Why? Because they are saying "Buy us before it's too late!" They should be concerned with their long-termers getting this divy more than a bunch of guys jumping in to grab it and run. IN MY OPINION, this says "Please buy now so our price goes up and we can dillute at higher prices"
And the part about the 2 days before the record date. Once again, capitalized so you just see "Oh damn, I better buy it just incase they announce the ex-date as two days right after the day they announce it"
I recall reading from a board awile ago that stated they need to announce the record date or ex-divy date 10 days in advance.
Anyway. Remember that this is a use of language anlysis and before I was babbling out most of the things I remembered off the top of my head from regarding other boards months ago. I don't really follow this company but I am curious to see what happens and if people actually get a real divy, oops I was wrong.
But IN MY OPINION, the risk does not outweigh the reward.
In my opinion. Therefore. No more claiming I am trying to state facts, Hammer.

Let me clarify my position on this stock. I bought in while it was going up *.19. Being new I didn't bother to research it. While holding it overnight I spoke to a family member who works for UBS and asked him his opinion. He told me he only deals with "REAL" stocks and the only advice he gave me was to fully research it and reminded me if something sounds to good to be true it probably is. I was a bit dismayed but in retrospect, it was the best advice I could have gotten. I spent the next 3 hours researching. I sold first thing the next morning * .54, close to a 300% profit. I now have no position in the company and am only posting what I found so that others might have a basis to make an informed decision. I didn't get burned I almost tripled my money but I still felt that other newbies like me should have a chance to read more than just the pump that seemed to drive this stock.
Maybe the guy is legit now but somehow my gut tells me NO. I researched the 995ad.com site because I'm retired from the Auto Sales industry and had a few contacts from dealers listed on the site. They knew nothing about it. As far as the other divisions of the company, well I don't know anyone in Pakistan so there is no way to prove or disprove what is happening over there. But if one portion that can be sourced is false I would say that logically the others would be too.
For those of you who continue to buy and hold for the dividend I wish you luck and hope I'm wrong.

I'm in the same boat as Wally, I got in blind, made some money, and THEN started researching. Definitely not the recommeded course of action, and I learned a lot from this whole experience.
Just trying to get the word out to others who may have been thinking about getting in without doing any research. Some people may read all the warnings and decide it's still worth the risk, but I felt that morally I needed to share what I found.
Good luck to all of you with this stock, and any others.

If you ask me, the only time a penny is worth investing is when it has been crumbling in price and has potential to release news and improve the mood of the stock. Guys that bought in recently made good profits. Back in october I bought in at the same exact price they are at now and watched it drop to half before realizing it was all a lie. This isn't even advice on just this stock, this goes for all stocks. Only buy before news and sell when it comes out. There are rare instances when a penny stock keeps going after good news, and usually it'll drop just as hard shortly after. When a miracle happens, it'll keep growing and growing and growing to a real stock. But that's a miracle and everyone in pennyland buys with intention on taking their profits quickly so that's why it's a miracle. IDWD has already risen because of the BS they released, as far as I'm concered, it's a dead deal to make money off of. I'll bet you the ex-dividend date will be released as very far from now so the price will drop and get a chance to rise again when it gets close, but somewhere down the road we're going to find out that it's an all shares dividend and not real cash and it'll crash all together, yet again. Or maybe just the 2nd part will happen. Who knows. But they aren't paying crap. I doubt they even have that money to begin with.
And they can always just lie all the way through and just never give the divy. The whole point is: Anything an OCTBB releases can be a lie and this one most likely is.
A better way to invest my money rather than holding to IDWD and hoping for a cash dividend would be by using the cash itself as toilet paper and using huge wads of those bills to clean myself thoroughly.

Although I appreciate looking at both sides of the coin, some of the postings being made here are factless and filled with emotional bashing.
Here are some of my viewpoints:
-This company did not "pull a dividend scam" in October. I have been following this company since that time (and not buying until recently), and we are still in the process of the same dividend. I cannot promise whether it will or will not be paid or in what form. I suspect that if it is paid as announced, it will contain at least partially stock.
-It is not a strange practice for a company to announce a future value, the PPS to increase immediately, and then the price to drop back when investors realize that it may take a long time to happen, if it will happen at all. Although this is a bummer for those who buy immediately after the news, it is not a scam but the normal fickle market. This happens with big board stocks as well and it is good to expect it. An old addage is, "Buy the rumor, sell the news."
-It is weird that they photoshopped a guy into that picture. This does not tell me that the company is a sham, but it's weird.
-From the data posted on the CEO, it seems to be the same person. I am going to look into it a little further, but it is something to be concerned about.
-Better to wipe your butt with money? It is often said that the market is driven by fear and greed. This is a statement which intentionally or unintentionally gets people emotional, and shifts over to the fear side, without itself giving facts about the situation. Emotions should be left at home with this kind of stuff.
-The quality of the PR's seems somewhat average to me. They are not awesome, but I have seen worse from better companies. Obviously, they tend to repeat themselves.
-All this said - there is no way that I can lose on this transaction. I have sold enough of my position that I have made a profit, even if the shares I still hold become 100% worthless. If anyone is at all nervous and can do the same, I highly recommend it. It's not worth losing any sleep over the risk/potential reward.

I'm not really bashing anything on emotions. The little I lost before has nothing to do with the reasons why I say this investment is not worth it. I think this company is garbage and have for the most of the time that I've known of it.
We'll see if the dividend happens. Only time will tell who's right but I would not trust this company as any other. Seanwill, I will congratulate you on riding on free shares though. That's the best way to go. You only lose a few earnings when it all goes down. Not a bad deal at all.
I still think they're goin to drag this one, price drops, then boost it back up with news. We'll see.

Only the one from yesterday seems to contain anythign new, but that one sounds very odd. I don't read a lot of these PRs, so it may be comminplace, but there are some quotes in tere that just made me laugh.
ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 6, 2006 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (Other OTC:IDWD.PK - News) today announced that IDS has determined the final valuation of the Special Dividend, related to the sale of a minority interest in IDS Homeland Security Division (HLS), has been increased to a value of $1.10 per common share of IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD). The exponential growth of the HLS Division and new technology being released this quarter for HLS Biometric Encryption technology has led to this increased valuation.
IDS HLS Division expects the patent filing for this technology to be effective this week. This technology will give IDS HLS Division the highest IT Security Product available in the world combining Biometric Technology and IDS HLS Division proprietary 384 Bit Encryption Algorithm. Identity Theft and IT Security breaches have become rampant in the United States. Estimated currently at a $11 Billion market and experiencing double digit growth each of the last three years. IDS HLS Division Biometric USB Flash Drive with 384 Encryption will provide the world's first plug and play solution that makes both hardware and internet backbone data transmission virtually hack proof. Even if a customer's laptop is stolen, the operating system could not be accessed without the authorized users "live beating fingerprint" and the embedded proprietary 384 Bit Algorithm in the biometric USB flash drive. This new technology will allow banks and brokerage houses to offer the most advance IT Security available for their online banking customers. IDS HLS Division will begin shipping these units in the current quarter.
IDS Board of Directors will meet next week on February 8, 2006 set the record date for the special dividend and file the necessary requirements with the NASD. Shareholders must own the stock BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which will be set by the NASD. The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE.
ORLANDO, FL--(MARKET WIRE)--Feb 7, 2006 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (Other OTC:IDWD.PK - News) today announced that this week the company has received unsolicited offers for equity investments in IDS 995ad.com Division. IDS Board of Directors feels at this time it will keep to its previous announced plan of an IPO for the 995ad.com Division. IDS Board feels that this course of action will produce more beneficial long-term value for IDS Common Stockholders. IDS Board of Directors does not feel that merging with another public company is in the best interests of IDS shareholders at this time. IDS expects to file for an IPO for the 995ad.com Division in the 2nd quarter of 2006. The IPO is projected to raise $ 25 Million for 995ad.com after associated fees and expenses. IDS 995ad.com Division continues to experience increased traffic with absolutely no advertising at this time. According to web traffic resource, www.ranking.com, IDS portal www.995ad.com is the 38,992 highest traffic site in the world at this time. More importantly, even with no advertising during the latest ranking period 995ad.com's average unique visitors were 4,753 compared to industry veteran Autotrader.com(TM) unique visitor average of 6,307. A difference of only 1554 visitors with IDS running no advertising during the latest ranking period.
IDS' massive national advertising campaign begins this week with direct mail to every auto dealer in Florida and Georgia. IDS will also re-launch its successful Google(TM) campaign which constantly ranked 995ad.com in the Top 6 auto sites on the Internet. This initial campaign will introduce 995ad.com dealer pricing for advertising in the Auto Section. 995ad.com's auto dealer pricing which will allow dealers to place 15 premium position car ads (positioning based on geographic or car model selections) with up to 9 pictures, 7,000 character text ad, email link, website link, audio ad and instant Carfax(TM) IDS portal 995ad.com also will allow dealers, through its proprietary backend management system to change cars, pricing and special offers in real-time at no additional monthly cost. The auto dealer cost for this program is only $99.00 per month, giving auto dealers an approximate 500% monthly saving and greater functionality over the competing online auto sites.
IDS is in the process of reviewing application for its expansion of 995ad.com into over 100 major cities in the United States and expects all 100 cities to be staffed by March 15, 2006. 995ad.com representatives in these cities will present the significant cost savings and functionality of advertising on 995ad.com over the current online Auto, Boat, Truck, Cycle and Real Estate sites.
IDS is also concluding negotiations with a national syndicated Radio show to promote 995ad.com during the morning drive times nationwide. IDS expects to launch this media campaign in the coming weeks.
IDS 995ad.com's Travel Section is now available for live booking at over 70,000 Worldwide Resorts and Hotels. 995ad.com is implementing numerous upgrades to both the software and hardware for the site on a daily basis. In the coming weeks users will be able to use a new mapping service to pinpoint dealers for autos, trucks, boats, houses and apartments. Leading competitors have already proven the business model that assures these companies spend billions each year to advertise their products and services. The 995ad.com business model just gives the customer additionally functionality not available through 995ad.com's competitors and offers greatly reduced prices

Yeah they keep saying the same thing over and over. Why do they keep saying "The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE." So? That's what it usually is. That still doesn't mean they can announce the ex-divy date as tomorrow. Maybe they think their confusing people into thinking they have to buy it before the release of the ex-divy date incase the record date is two days after the announcement. Not a chance in hell on that one, they have to announce it 10 days in advance from what I've read up on. (Will not be posting a fact on this)
Fishy fishy fishy. Mmm... I like fish. But not this overcooked. I prefer sushi anyway lol

no it's going to be a postponment for another month I bet. Or the dividend date won't be for a few months. Something to give the price a reason to drop so they can dillute again on another rise when the ex-divy date comes close.

I took a big risk here and grabbed a TINY bit. Only 2500 shares, JIC the divy news is good. If not, I made a killing on the first trip.

What bothers me more than anything is the fact that they have not released the make-up of the $1.10 dividend (cash, stock or a combination of both). They do not need the NASD's OK to do that. All they have to do is work out the Record Date so the NASD can tell them what the X Date will be. The fact that they have omitted to release such "material" information leads me to question what shareholders would get. It could be a bunch of crap on which they have placed some arbitrary value set by themselves. That does not mean it really IS worth $1.10. Frankly, that would seem to be contrary to Rule 10b-5-b of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934...."omit" and "material".

I'm going to take a wild stab at this. In reading between the lines. The easiest way for them to issue a dividend and not have to pay it is to spin off HLS and 995ad.com give you a combination of restricted stock in both and keep the stock you now have in IDWD. Remember the PR talked about HLS and 995 being wholly owned subsidaries.

Even if they announce a record date it means absolutely nothing, just another PR. What's even worse are the people that will actually buy it just because they released a PR on the Record Date. I need to see something more than the PR's with the way this thing has been playing out - I'll wait for the divy/ex-date listed on the NASD website. (They sure are pumping this hard)

IDS Sets Record Date for Special Dividend as March 17, 2006
ORLANDO, FL -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/09/06 -- IDS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC: IDWD) today announced that, following the IDS Worldwide, Inc. Board of Directors Meeting yesterday, IDS has set the record date determined for the Special Dividend. IDS has set the record date as March 17, 2006, ST. PATRICK'S DAY. All common stockholders who own IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD) by this record date (allowing for 3 day settlement period) will qualify for the Special Dividend. IDS has determined the final valuation of the Special Dividend, related to the sale of a minority interest in IDS Homeland Security Division (HLS), has been increased to a value of $1.10 per common share of IDS Worldwide, Inc. (IDWD).
The exponential growth of the HLS Division and new technology being released this quarter for HLS Biometric Encryption technology, has led to this increased valuation. IDS HLS Division orders to Tyco Division DSC yesterday exceeded company records by over 400% as the HLS Division continues to experience triple digit growth. HLS Division also signed an additional Nationwide Retail Chain, Raja Sahab, with locations in 4 major cities in Pakistan for Fire and Security Protection Services.
IDS HLS Division expects the patent filing for this technology to be effective this week. This technology will give IDS HLS Division the highest IT Security Product available in the world combining Biometric Technology and IDS HLS Division proprietary 384 Bit Encryption Algorithm. Identity Theft and IT Security breaches have become rampant in the United States, estimated currently at an $11 Billion market and experiencing double-digit growth each of the last three years. IDS HLS Division Biometric USB Flash Drive with 384 Bit Encryption will provide the world's first plug-and-play solution that makes both hardware and Internet backbone data transmission virtually hack proof.

This new technology will allow banks and brokerage houses to offer the most advanced IT Security available for their online banking customers. IDS HLS Division will begin shipping these units in the current quarter.
Shareholders must own the stock BEFORE the ex-dividend date, which will be set by the NASD. The ex-dividend date set by the NASD can be 2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE RECORD DATE.
