PHXI current price .013 Shares Outstanding approx 22 million Float Approx 7 million 1 month target .50 3 month target 2.50 a share 1 year target 5.00
PHXI is a Company Called Phoneix Intreests. They are very tightly involved in the thoroughbred racing industry. They have two major things which should be released in the next few weeks.
The most important thing they are working on is aquiring a horse racing track in a soon to be slot friendly state. All Mr. Tilton the CEO would say on this is they were working on aquiring a track in the northeast. They are planning on turning it into a "Racino" a combination race track and casino. These are very lucrative ventures. To see what the future could hold with a raceino all you have to do is look at MTR gaming group(MNTG) trading at 9.67(used to trade at .50 a share) a share or Penn Gaming (PENN) trading at 38.81 a share. Slots and casinos are a very profitable investment when run right. In 2002, "racinos" posted $2 billion in gross revenue, a fraction of the roughly $69 billion annual revenue generated by the entire gaming industry. For the last few years, investors have been trying to match the feat of one investor, who realized more than 10 times his investment selling a racetrack Said Dave Berman, a managing director at CIBC World Markets, gaming investor Shawn Scott bought the Delta Downs racetrack in Louisiana for $10 million in 1999 then lobbied the state for a license to put in slot machines and got it. He sold it to Boyd Gaming Corp. two years later for $125 million. CIBC advised Boyd while U.S. Bancorp's Libra division advised Scott. Scott has since attempted a repeat performance in other states, such as Maine. (could we be trying to buy a track in Maine?)
Besides trying to aquire a "racino" they are also looking for property in Texas to build a new race track. When this is completed providing the aquisition goes through as planned they would have two operating tracks.
The second major thing the company is working on is their website Barn66.com Dont laugh!! How can a website be a major thing? I am glad you asked. The website is going to be a gambling portal. They will be taking horse racing bets as well as casino games. They are going to use the tracks once aquired and built to simulcast their live horse races. Simulcasting is where one track sends live feeds of their races to other tracks so their patrons may bet on that tracks races as well. During all simulcasting the tracks providing the live feed also sell advertising. They will use some of this advertising time to advertise their betting service and website. They will have a built in targeted audience they get to sell their product to for free. The barn66.com website is done according to Mr. James Tilton CEO of PHXI, they are searching for an advertising agency to help them begin marketing the site even before the track aquisiton so they can take part of a trillion dollar industry.
On February 20th 2004 the company announced they had received five million US dollars in funding from Compass Capital Group who will also act as the companies investment banking firm. Mark Lefkowitz, Compass Capital Group's investment banker for Thoroughbred Interests, Inc. stated, "We are very pleased with how easily we were able to raise the first round of financing for Thoroughbred Interests, Inc. (Now PHXI)This investment confirms our confidence regarding the positive direction of the Company and its repositioning into the ONLINE GAMING, RACING and entertainment industries. We are also very pleased the Company is now a business development company(this is why they changed this ticker and name) and that it plans to increase shareholder value through a well developed and, more importantly, well-executed business plan.
The third major thing which has already began and should begin yielding value to the company in the near future is the aquisition of the "Totemaster" software. The software is to be licensed to horse tracks, greyhound tracks etc for use in their betting systyems. They company is paid a fee for each dollar wagered. On March 10, PHXI announced it signed a letter of intent with software developer KIWI Network Solutions Inc. to have KIWI assist in developing Totemaster, a pari-mutuel wagering system, which Thoroughbred agreed to buy from Great American Financial Corp. on March 1.
Tilton said his focus is racinos, and he wants to buy in states such as Texas and Florida, that appear close to granting gaming licenses to racetracks. Last year, Tilton just missed acquiring Blue Ribbons Downs in Oklahoma, which Backstretch LLC, a private company owned by the Choktaw nation of Oklahoma, purchased for an undisclosed sum. The bankrupt track was appraised at $3 million prior to the transaction. Tilton said adding slot machines can triple a racetrack's value. Mark Lefkowitz, the Compass Capital banker who arranged the financing for Thoroughbred, said of racinos, "They're popping up everywhere and if they're not popping up, there's legislation to have them pop up." He added, "We're getting in at the ground floor."
We feel there are many major things about to take place in the company, and look forward to a bright future as according to Mr. Tilton there are several press releases in the works.
Good luck to all

Got in on the dip this morning for 100,000 shares. Emailed the company asking if they've considered expanding to the Foxwoods Casino area and already got an email response from Tilton.
I'll hold for a week or so and see what happens. Sure has done well in the past.

i'm still holding this one waiting for the "rumored news" to come out.
does anyone that reads charts & graphs have an opinion on the future of this one? there's still a large spread in the bid/ask, as there was all week long.
i suppose there's two options- > bought it and sold it when it hit .024 > long term hold to see if they end up doing anything, and hope for a PR, cuz nobody seems to know about this one.
just wondering...
and if anyone wants to interpret graphs/charts on this one for me it would be greatly appreciated!

as expected, good news. this one actually held up quite well during its last run. i'm just holding it a little longer cuz i think its got potential.
PHXI -- Phoenix Interests, Inc. Com ($0.001)
COMPANY NEWS AND PRESS RELEASES FROM OTHER SOURCES:
Phoenix Interests Launches New Internet Site; Barn66.Com to Become Leading Horse Racing Portal
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind., Oct 19, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Phoenix Interests (OTCBB:PHXI) announced today that it will launch Barn66.com the week of October 25, 2004. Barn66 is a comprehensive Internet portal dedicated to the horse racing industry. It is owned by Phoenix Interests' wholly owned subsidiary Online Enterprises, Inc. The new portal will combine pari-mutuel account wagering on race tracks across the country with what Phoenix Interests expect will become the industry's top listing service offering owners of thoroughbred horses the ability sell their horses and related items. The site will offer users customizable news, Instant Messaging, and video race replays. "The Internet has changed the way many companies do business," said Jim Tilton, Chief Executive Officer of Phoenix Interests. "As a result of simulcasting and account wagering, the thoroughbred industry has experienced a resurgence. Soon, we will be able to offer our customers access to many of the leading racetracks in the country in their offices and from the comfort of their living rooms. Horse owners will also now be able to buy and sell horses very efficiently via our site. We believe Barn66.com has the potential to change the way the horse racing industry does business."
Pari-mutuel wagering in the United States totaled over $15 billion last year, of which an estimated $2 billion was conducted via account wagering and online. Over $1 billion in thoroughbreds were sold last year at public auctions.
Phoenix Interests' core historical business was "pinhooking," namely acquiring undervalued yearling thoroughbred horses and reselling them as two-year-olds in training or as racing prospects. The company is seeking to expand within the thoroughbred industry beyond pinhooking activities and is also exploring opportunities in gaming, entertainment, and other sectors. Consistent with this expanded focus, in January 2004 Phoenix Interests elected to be regulated as a business development holding company and in March 2004 changed its name to its current name.

The company is selling several high end thoroughbreds in one of the nation's top sales October 2nd. Given the drastic increase in volume recently I predict that this will continue to rise.

Thanks penny. This was filed back in July and I can't seem to find any information on when they intend to do it. In reading the actualy filing it reads to me that the split will not affect outstanding shares.
Any thoughts?
