ooo,ooo-- ahahahah (thats a monkey sound)
Dude, I can be a monkey. I want to be the monkey!
I am a monkey, I am a monkey, I am a monkey.....I will keep saying this. I MUST be the monkey!
Maybe they should call it the year of the GREEN monkey. It has a nice ring.
Seriously though, bought into this. Not as low as I would have liked, but that may not matter. Looks like a good pick longer term.
Thanks for all of the great DD on this one.
Play On!

For info online on BLYC and other BB/PS stocks check :

www.otcbb.com and pinksheets.com and EDGAR Online for SEC filings. Just put in symbol for search of BLYC in this case for Bentley Commerce. You can also call the transfer agent for shares in Florida....listed on sites and PR's...as a back-up or adjunct FOR OS/float INFO. The free-trading float is much more important than just the OS, and the # and status of those stock-holders takes more research but can be ascertained.

Also, check the www.BentleyCommerce.com website for much past and present news and foundational facts...and contact info for Company Execs/Officers...you can e-mail fax or call for more specific or expanded info.

But if you dont do enough research on the Barter Industry, the assets and biz plan of this BB Pubco, or the Execs/Owners involved, the OS or MCV wont matter.

Especially know this, that the Chairman/CFo Gordon Lee, has been doing this BB-PS market biz game for 25 years, and has many successes. Including at least 3 deals he has taken from the few cent PPS range to the Multi-dollar range, including ones with more OS and F-Float, OVER A BILLION DOLLAR MCV 3 TIMES...AND HE SAYS THIS WILL BE #4 !

And the reson i believe that is the intent and likely outcome is= ALL THE OTHER DD THAT SHOWS BLYC IS POSITIONED AND HAS THE ASSETS IN PRODUCTS,SERVICES,DATA BASES/CLIENT BASES, EXPERIENCED EXECS (HUMAN CAPITAL),TECHNOLOGIES, ALLIANCES AND ACQUISITIONS, AND MULTIPLE REVENUE STREAMS TO DO IT WITH!

BLYC WILL BE THE DOMINANT FORCE AND TRENDSETTING ENABLER AND ENHANCER FOR THE BARTER INDUSTRY GLOBALLY...WHICH IS MULTI-TRILLION DOLLAR GROSS SALES POTENTIAL MARKET...AND TRANSACTION FEES DO ADD UP= JUST ASK VISA/ MASTERCARD AND THE HUGE MERCHANT PROCESSING GROUPS AND INDUSTRIES!

IT WILL HAVE ITS OWN PRIVATE CURRENCY, WHICH WILL BECOME THE STALWART STANDARD OF BARTER GLOBALLY...THE US-DOLLAR OF PRIVATE CURRENCIES...ALL OTHERS EVENTUALLY BEING TIED TO THE BARTER-DOLLAR OF BLYC!

IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS, DO YOUR DD HOMEWORK/RESEARCH...FOLLOW THE DD I POSTED AND THE LINKS...CHECK IT ALL OUT...AND IF YOU DO IT RIGHT...AND ADD INTELLIGENCE, LOGIC AND VISION= YOULL GET IT TOO!

LONG AND STRONG ON BENTLEY COM!

IMHO!

PS= your profile(if accurate) states youre from or in Saudi Arabia, where several mid-eastern countries recently bought licenses for Bartering with the BLYC VB software...read the PR's and sites for that...it will be huge in 3rd world countries of all types= they understand and utilize Barter More and better than the spoiled USA!

My ears are burning.

I am in Kentucky now and will be at my meeting in a couple of hours.

Just wanted everyone to know that I have been away for the last week on business but I do still hold all my shares of this stock.

It is at the price I origionaly entered it. I am going to place an order right now to try to get another good block for my group.

I do not day trade any stocks but do keep track of them. Usually give it about a month and then see where I sit and adjust at that point. I do not have the time to keep track like a day trader dose.

I do have faith in this company so I am going to be buying more shares at these prices.

Please do not buy or sell as to what I do. This is just the way I have been tradeing and for me it works.

Good Luck to all

Magoo

I think the weak longs are bailing at the no news situation...I think they will regret it eventually. Looks like we could get some bargain shares out of the dump!

E-Commerce Growth (BOTH CASH & BARTER) Will Impact SMBs

By Laura Rush

January 23, 2004

As consumers' level of comfort with online functions such as e-mail and research continues to increase, so too will their level of participation in e-commerce. The next five years will see large growth in e-commerce - growth that could positively impact small businesses that have established themselves as legitimate, trustworthy merchants.

U.S. online retail sales are expected to reach $65 billion in 2004, and will continue to grow by a compound annual growth rate of 17 percent through 2008 to top $117 billion, according to a report issued last week from Jupiter Research, (a division of Jupitermedia Corp., the parent company of this site).

According to the report, "Market Forecast: U.S. Retail 2004-2008," the growth in online retail will be due in part to new online buyers, not just veterans, who have come to embrace the medium. Jupiter expects that the online buying population will grow by 14 percent in 2004, representing 30 percent of the U.S. population. By 2008, one-half of the population will make purchases online.

As more and more new online users convert to online shoppers, small e-commerce businesses ultimately will benefit, said Jupiter Research analyst Patti Freeman Evans. "SMB's benefit, as all businesses do, with greater adoption of online purchase and reduced fear. [However] Small retailers need to ensure that consumers have every reason to trust them," Evans said.

According to the report, during this time of new user growth, businesses should continue to target first-time online buyers as part of their new customer-acquisition efforts, as well as focus on retention marketing efforts in order to gain increased wallet share after a consumer's initial purchase. For small businesses, attracting these new buyers means getting the message across loud and clear that you are legitimate.

How do you convince potential customers that you are legitimate and trustworthy? "Be clear about security on all fronts, be sure to execute immaculately," said Evans. "Because [businesses] are small, their brand name may not be known to the breadth of consumers they may reach through online. So, they need to be sure they manage their messaging well."

Average Spending to Rise
Online retail growth will be fueled by another factor: increased average spending per buyer. In 2004, online buyers are expected to spend an average of $585 person, up from $540 per buyer in 2003. That trend in higher spending is expected to increase over the next five years: Through 2008, average spending per buyer will be close to $780 per buyer.

According to Jupiter Research, the increase in average spending is a reflection of the maturation of the online shopping market. Contributing factors that add to the likelihood that consumers will spend more online include more offline merchants adding online components to their businesses, which gives consumers more reasons to shop online, and improved product comparison features.

In this realm, small businesses will face different challenges from their big business counterparts.

"What is unique to small businesses is that though consumers do look for items not readily available in their local market, they also want to trust the retailer from whom they purchase. So, small businesses need to be sure that they have legitimate and very strong vendor ratings in every place consumers may find their products, like comparison-shopping sites," said Evans. "Also, adding consumer feedback sections to their own site could help the credibility factor."

Evans said she also feels that acquisition marketing and awareness-building tactics are critical for small businesses. "Search engine marketing, along with comparison-shopping site listings and well-managed affiliate programs are ideal tactics and generate real ROI," Evans said. "It is important that small businesses allocate staff to manage these programs as that will pay off immediately."

Growth by Category
In the next five years, small business merchants should realize that not all retail categories will grow at the same rate. Jupiter Research's forecast groups retail categories in three growth modes: Plateau, Steep and Steady:


Categories in the Plateau group will experience compound annual growth rates of below 10 percent and include areas such as PCs, books and software.
Areas of steep growth (above 30 percent) are found primarily in the home and personal care categories such as home improvement, grocery and over the counter drugs.
According to the report, the remaining categories comprise half of total online retail sales and include heavy volume players such as apparel and consumer electronics.
Ultimately, small businesses should understand that there is still double-digit growth coming from online sales, and that more and more people are choosing the Internet to make purchases. As such, online buyers will be adding more and more product categories to their online purchases. And by ensuring a solid position as a trusted merchant, small businesses will be able to reap the benefits of the coming growth in e-commerce.

Just some news..Hope we start going North...

Bentley Communications Corp. Offers Wi-Fi and Fitness Centers through its Trade Marketplace for the Hospitality Industry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bentley Communications Corporation, the emerging online leader in the trade and barter industry, has announced two major vendors in its new Hospitality Exchange. These are Third-Rail, that designs, installs and manages wireless Internet and advanced infrastructure services to hotels and resorts, and Nautilus FITwave Centers, the first fitness facility to combine a marketable, fun, themed environment with exercise programming that is suitable for all levels of participants. Both companies will accept a portion of their selling price in excess room night and food and beverage capacity.
"Attracting quality vendors to Bentley's Hospitality Exchange is critical to our success," said Joe Crump, who heads Bentley's Crump Barter Systems and developed the Bentley Hospitality Exchange. "Third-Rail and FITwave certainly meet this criteria. Both are global companies and both provide highly desired, state-of-the-art services for hotels and resorts.
"Wireless systems are quickly becoming a requirement for upscale hotels and resorts," continued Mr. Crump. "Third-Rail's comprehensive solutions will give these hotels and their guests the complete wireless, high-speed Internet access service that has become a must-have for today's traveler. While Third-Rail provides for their guests' communication needs, FITwave will engage guests in physical exuberance, brand immersion, and reward them for their time and participation," said Mr. Crump.
Each FITwave Center is designed to meet the unique demands of the most discriminating hotel. From the outdoor FITwave Pavilion, a freestanding 1500 square foot facility appropriate for resorts and larger hotels, to the indoor 1500 square foot model, perfect for urban hotels with limited space, FITwave is the ultimate solution for the hospitality industry's need to provide an exceptional exercise facility without building a full-fledged health club.

In other News:

Bentley's Trade division bartered 28 of its 35 original oil paintings by William Verdult in exchange for 1,220,000 minutes of long distance phone cards. In addition, national radio time on a network of 128 stations across the USA, valued in excess of $100,000, was acquired this week. Under the terms of the agreement, 30-second radio spots that are aired on all 128 stations will be made available to Bentley's Crump Barter Systems over the coming year. The spots are placed and provided by the Da Silva Group Radio Network.

About Third-Rail:

Third-Rail, the first wireless competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) in the United States, is currently providing customers with a variety of broadband communications services including High-Speed Internet Access, WAN Connectivity, Video IP Broadcasting, Videoconferencing, IP Telephony, and Remote Outsourcing of IS Services.

About FITwave:

FITwave is an alliance between Nautilus and Pavilion Fitness Inc. It is the first branded and themed, turnkey, state-of-the-art fitness center, designed for the hotel industry. It combines the newest, space-efficient equipment designed and built by Nautilus with results oriented FITwave programming, for all fitness levels. It is a self-service, turnkey, professional yet simple facility in a small footprint (1500 Square Feet).

About Bentley Communications Corporation:

Bentley Communications Corp. is a business-to-business, Internet e-commerce company that seeks to establish a new marketplace and distribution channel for worldwide barter and trade. Bentley is working towards becoming the online "market maker" for the barter industry -- a neutral intermediary that brings together fragmented multiple groups of buyers and sellers online. Through the development of a seamlessly integrated family of online barter services, it envisions that most barter transactions can be handled in real time, with its proprietary VirtualBarter software. Bentley intends to serve as a clearinghouse for barter trades for fortune 500 trading partners, scores of existing retail barter exchanges that serve companies of all sizes, corporate barter companies that serve large multinational corporations, trade associations and their member companies, as well as media and travel agencies.

I wonder if ther is any real METHOD (Stratergy) to this Madness?

What would happen if you combined superior proprietary Online & Offline Financial/Currency transactions technology, with Cash/Barter/Scrip aspects inherent in the system, with Wi-fi?!

Especially if some of that tech also eliminated ID Theft and ALL card/info fraud perpetration(Cd-Rom card ISO for BLYC/BTLY)? And at the same time eliminated charge-backs and reserves on transactions...GLOBALLY!?! Am i looney on this...or is this HUGE in scope and potential?!

I cant say for sure that it will be BLYC to do it...but look at their past PR's...the ones that disappeared with the Name/Symbol Change on Yahooo Finance... present "assets" (alliances/acquisitions)and moves etc etc and propogated plans!??!$#@#$$*Capiche?

IMHO...do your own DD...live with your own conclusions...be well!

NASD--stymies naked short sellers

Issue Date: 01.24.04

**SPECIAL WEEKEND EDITION**
IN THE MONEY: NASD Tightens Short Selling/Delivery Rule

By Carol S. Remond
A Dow Jones Newswires Column

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Taking most market participants by surprise, the
National Association of Securities Dealers has drastically tightened one of
its rules governing short selling.

Known as affirmative determination, the NASD rule stipulates that brokers
and dealers engaged in a short sale transaction must make sure that shares
can be delivered by settlement time, three days later.

"We closed a loophole," said Steve Luparello, executive vice president of
Market Regulation at NASD.

Until now, non-NASD members, like specialists, option markets and foreign
brokers, weren't covered under the affirmative determination rule. That
means that non-NASD members didn't have to represent to the NASD broker
through which they conducted a short sale order that they would be able to
deliver the stock by settlement date.

A short seller typically borrows stock from a broker to sell it into the
market, betting that the share price will fall so that he can buy the stock
back at a lower price and pocket the difference.

The amended NASD affirmative determination rule, which was recently approved
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, will particularly affect short
sales conducted through foreign brokers, most specifically Canadian brokers
which have often been used by investors to sell short the stock of small
U.S. companies trading on the Over-the-counter Bulletin Board or OTCBB.

Because it's often impossible to borrow the shares of companies trading on
the OTCBB, investors and hedge funds looking to take negative bets on these
often-overvalued development-stage companies have traditionally been trading
through Canada where it's not required to borrow stock before selling it
short. The practice is known as NAKED SHORTING.

That trading avenue has now been effectively closed !
AMEN AND HALLELUJAH...MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY OF THE COMIN OF THE LODE...MOTHA-LODE THAT IS! GO BLYC...TO DA MOON!

The practice is known as naked shorting.

That trading avenue has now been effectively closed.

The new NASD rule doesn't cover Canadian brokers, since most are not members of the association, instead it makes it the responsibility of U.S. brokers trading with non-members to make sure that their counterparts will be able to settle a transaction before completing a short sale.

"It's part of (a broker's) supervisory responsibilities," NASD's Luparello said, adding that a non-member's previous failures to deliver should be a good indication of whether or not it will in fact be able to complete the transaction by the settlement date.

Market makers engaged in bone fide market making activities will continue to be exempt from affirmative determination.

Luparello said that, unlike a parallel SEC initiative to tighten short selling rules on the small-cap markets, the new NASD rules did not originate from worries over mounting failures to deliver stock into the national clearing system. But Luparello said the amended NASD rule fits nicely with the new short selling regulations now under consideration by the SEC.

"I think it addresses a gap and (shows) that we, like the SEC, are looking at a variety of things in this area," Luparello said.

The NASD proposal was first submitted to the SEC in November 2001, well before alleged abuses of naked shorting became the focal point of a campaign lead by some OTCBB companies in the U.S that say they have been victimized by the practice.

While some investors argue that short sellers provide a needed service to the markets, others have called for the complete abolition of short selling because of the undue pressure its puts on the shares of companies.

While market participants in the U.S. and abroad are well aware of the new short selling regulations being put forward by the SEC, known as Regulation SHO, most said they knew nothing of the NASD's plan before it became final.

"It's taken us by surprise," said Richard Thomas, head of compliance at Canadian brokerage firm Pacific International.

Although separate from it, the amended NASD rule fits tightly within the SEC's SHO which is now under review by the SEC staff after a period during which market participants were invited to comment on it.

As it stands, the new SEC short selling rules will make it easier to short large-cap stocks since they would do away with the "uptick" rule, which bans short selling on a stock when the price is falling.

But it when it comes to the small-cap markets, where it's often impossible to borrow stock, the impact of SHO will be the opposite, making it harder to short sale stock.

The new SEC rule sets a predetermined level of so-called clearing fails - cases in which a broker or investor cannot deliver stock within two days after settlement - which will trigger a 90-day blackout whereby the customer will not be allowed to short sell that security. That 90-day exemption would affect trading of U.S. securities in and outside the U.S.

The new NASD affirmative determination rule will take effect on Feb. 20.

I am also still here and eagerly awaiting the opening bell. This company is entering what could be THE biggest industry on the planet.(IMHO) Just imagine being the forerunner of an industry of this magnitude. This is one company that I am not "playing" simply because of the ramifications of this industry on the global community. The barter system will enhance "Free Trade" beyond our wildest short term expectations. This industry will open markets and increase the quality of life of every man woman and child on this planet.....Mark My Words

The Growth And Use Of Secondary Capital (New Money)
Creates Unprecedented Wealth In This New Age Of Possibility!

In the new open world economy, the markets have a freer play in judging currency values. And, as civilizations get more efficient in the processing of information, a government's control of money will be even less of a force in the nation's economy.

We will experience a profound monetary change in the coming millenniumŠand it will create an age of possibility such as the world has never known!

Today's high speed computers and fiber-optic communications are dramatically changing the nature of financial transactions and the way we do business.

The definition of old money, as learned in Economics 101—that money is a store of value and a medium of exchange in the form of paper and coins—will be replaced by a new one of today's information age.

The new mints and engravers won't be the central bankers as we've known, but companies like GE, AT&T, and Visa.

And they will include a myriad of smaller entities, both here and abroad, which supply the informational ingredients of money. Information about who earned a credit yesterday, or who can be trusted to pay back a debt tomorrow.

The "new money," no longer defined by the agricultural and industrial ages, is less a medium of exchange and more a measure and comparison of value, controlled almost entirely by the free market.

The implications of moving from "old money" (paper & coins) to an electronic measure of value are dramatic!

Innovative organizations, using the latest in information technologies, are leading us to the time when every producer will have the ability to instantaneously locate parties that want their product and parties that have what they need—possibly eliminating money entirely as a medium of exchange.

Today, paper money is no longer a store of value for us. We choose to store our wealth in other forms, like stocks and bonds, and many other financial instruments that derive value from the underlying assets.

Money stored in a stock is backed not by the full faith and credit of the government, but by the publicly-traded stock. The stock derives its value from the corporate asset it represents, from the opinions of financial analysts, and from shareholders who own the company.

So today money functions as a measurement, a way of communicating value in a common language. As the tools of the electronic age permit companies to create more and more financial instruments (secondary capital), our options will increase.

As money continues to evolve into measurement systems, the implications are dramatic. The growth and use of secondary capital will create unprecedented wealth in this new age of possibility!

There Are Many Forms Of Secondary Capital

Secondary capital or "new money" can be defined as any financial instrument that measures and communicates value in a common language.

Today's electronic, information age increasingly creates more options and opportunities. And money, as we have known it, is rapidly evolving into various measurement systems.

The growth of competing monetary systems as well as every conceivable kind of secondary capital—stocks, bonds, options, warrants, derivatives, commercial paper, lease-backs, accounts receivable, gift certificates, frequent-flyer miles, custom contracts, TV promotions, trade marks/copyrights, area-naming rights, corporate sponsorships, luxury-suite licenses, celebrity-backed annuities, private credit cards, smart cards, unused production capacities, due bills, scrip, trade dollars—collectively become the new money of the next century.
