Yes, SPZI is my favorite stock right now. I keep in contact with the CEO regularly and I feel very excited about the future of Spooz Inc..
We can expect news in the coming days, weeks and months, including some BIG news in Q4. I recommend getting in here at these discount prices, anything under $0.02 is a steal.

No worries, everything will be just fine. The market should get stronger by September/October and many good PR's will be released along the way. Paul Strickland (CEO of Spooz) mentioned to me in an email response that BIG news is coming in Q4, which is very exciting, I'm definitely anticipating the news.
This is a great opportunity to get in from the ground floor. Try to add more (if you can) to average down at these discount prices. We have tremendous support at 0.011 and as I mentioned, anything under $0.02 is a steal.
Am I (besides R.A.) one of the only ones interested in SPZI on this board?

I now KNOW why Madvillain is so happy!! I had a nice talk with a Principle of Equity Trend. I am sharing this with those who know me and that I do NOT B.S. or pump. Never have never will!! In fact if anything very skeptical. Something very BIG will be happening soon!! Also don't expect the audited financials for a while either. All I can say is Boooooyaaaaahhhh!!!!! I promised to not say any more. I hope no one calls and wants to know what's up because that will ruin anything in the future being shared. He was very careful in his wording but was specific on this. All I can say is don't SELL anything. If I had money I would be buying for sure.
I promised to NOT mention what I was told by NAME so I will share that it has to do with a LARGE On-line Brokerage!! Also was told that audited financials WILL be put out but WILL take some time. glta

We closed the day with a hammer, lookin' for green this week, as well as a PR!
The Hammer is a bullish reversal pattern that forms after a decline. In addition to a potential trend reversal, hammers can mark bottoms or support levels.

Here is some news from 2005 NOT to be forgotten:
Financial Services Firms and Industry Media Take Interest in Spooz, Inc.'s Alternative Trading Technology Business Wire, April 5, 2005
CHICAGO -- Spooz, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SPZI), a provider of market analysis and execution software for financial trading, has received a warm industry welcome from financial trading firms and media with the recent announcement of TicketToolz(TM), the company's Microsoft(R) Excel add-in trading tool. Feature articles in Securities Industry News, FO Week, Futures Magazine, and Securities Week have reported on the availability of the Spooz suite of trading software and market information technology and its impact on the trading of financial products.
TicketToolz adds trade execution capabilities to Microsoft Excel, a globally deployed and universally recognized standard user interface which supports over 50 languages and resides on roughly 90 percent of computers worldwide. Spooz products have been designed to address new and emerging markets to generate electronic trading volume. TicketToolz allows users to design and build custom trading screens for the execution of orders on futures, options, and other financial instruments - directly from their Excel toolbar.
"Recent innovations within the investment community have certainly gravitated toward enhancing customer usability. Just as electronic trading transformed the investment business, Spooz is poised to transform electronic trading with its suite of easy-to-use, customer-centric tools," said Paul D. Strickland, Jr., CEO of Spooz. "We believe the reason Spooz has struck a chord within the investment community is because our value proposition is a win-win. By employing a recognizable and intuitive user interface like Excel, our tools will have a positive impact on a market of global proportions."

Solid close today at $0.0145, up 7.41% on low volume (135,400). This stock is relatively undiscovered, the time to get in here is now! Much more news to come, including a big announcement in Q4. In addition, news is expected this week. This is the bottom, so load up on cheap shares.
Just talked to the salesman they are holding off on any PRs until next month so accumulate at these cheap prices for the next 3 or 4 weeks or so, then should go to around 0.05 in September.

The volume is extremely low, but let's stay focused on the positive here.
I keep in contact with the CEO of Spooz Inc., Paul Strickland, on a regular basis and UP is the only way to go from here. Many announcements are in the pipeline for the coming weeks and months, uncluding a BIG announcement in Q4 (may have something to do with interest from a large online brokerage).
Paul mentioned to me that the market will begin to gain strength in the fall. People will be buying for the momentum into the new year. We can expect a dramatic increase in volume in the coming months.
This is a GREAT opportunity to get in on the ground floor, this is the bottom. The time to be accumulating shares for the massive run is NOW! Don't wait until this little unknown gem runs folks, SPZI is a fast mover when volume increases significantly. Honestly, I'm extremely surprised people aren't taking advantage of these discount prices, anything under 0.02 is a steal.
Get in early. Don't follow the herd, let the herd follow you. This is investing folks, not day trading or flipping stocks. SPZI is a mid to long term investment.

Solid close today at 0.0125, up 13.64% on 1,142,200 volume. Now is the time to be accumulating shares at these discount prices, don't wait until this little gem runs, this one is a fast mover.
It's only a matter of time now before news is announced, including a big announcement in Q4. Chart starting to look good, expect another spike to the 0.03 area, excellent close today.

Response to my email from Paul Strickland (CEO of Spooz Inc.):

Have a great weekend.

Sorry folks, I can't post the stock report completed by EquitiTrend, but the report is awesome! Plenty of details! If anyone would like to read the report, I suggest you contact Paul Strickland.

Here are some details from the stock report I received from the CEO of Spooz Inc.:
TETRAHEX ACQUISITION With the recently announced acquisition of Tetrahex, Inc., which should be completed by the end of the fourth quarter-2006, the next version of SpoozToolz will allow investors to identify market data correlations in multiple layers. Tetrahex’s proprietary adaptive forecasting algorithms, when combined with the existing SpoozToolz platform, allows SpoozToolz users to more effectively identify patterns in market data. This new technology affords beginning to advanced traders the edge needed to make better trading decisions. A new SpoozFractalz³ end-of-day version will be rolled out independently of SpoozToolz in early September 2006. SpoozToolz version 2.0 will likely include a new real-time version of Fractalz³ as a plug in.
CONCLUSION In May 2004, Spooz, Inc. began trading as a Pink Sheet stock in the U.S. While the initial trading days were sometimes bumpy, the Company’s shares have settled down to a price level that gives Spooz an approximate five million dollar market capitalization. Recent accomplishments have positioned Spooz for rapid and continued growth over the coming years.
Spooz has invested in excess of $2,000,000 developing its proprietary software, strategic partners and distribution channels. Money well spent, as doors are rapidly opening for the Company, and it’s now just a matter of a few quarters before the next generation of the trading platform-SpoozToolz 2.0-will be released to anxious brokers who have expressed considerable interest in an Excel-based trading solution. The Company’s goal of one million customers actively subscribing to SpoozToolz by the end of year five of active sales, is still attainable.
Spooz is currently seeking financing in the amount of $5 million to carry it successfully through the next two years. The funds will be used for further software development, refinement and enhancement of the Company’s e-commerce infrastructure, marketing of SpoozToolz, and the inevitable product support infrastructure, including multi-lingual requirements.
In the near-term, Spooz intends to begin diligent reporting of its financials in order to become fully reporting as a Pink Sheet security in the U.S. This move, a common one being made by other emerging growth companies of late, is designed to provide sophisticated investors the transparency they demand.
BULLS SAY: With effective implementation of its market plan, Spooz may likely enjoy explosive growth. Currently, SPZI has a market cap of just over $5 million. If SPZI gains 100,000 users of SpoozToolz by 2008, that could equal approx. $8–10 million gross per month. At 5x multiples (price-to-sales), and with factoring in an estimated double the current # of shares outstanding (to allow for fundraising), SPZI could still trade at $ .75 per share–over 50x its current PPS! STRONG BUY RATING.
Do your own homework and try to understand the potential with Spooz Inc.

SPZI lookin' solid at the moment at 0.012, up 20% on 344,000 volume (low). Great time to get in here folks, this stock is rock bottom, very strong support at 0.01 and as I mentioned earlier, news is expected to be announced today, so get in for the ride.

Here is a post regarding Spooz Inc. (SPZI) from IHUB definitely worth reading for those who are interested in Spooz Inc.:

Ok, Ryan from Equititrend just called me about an email that he is trying to send me. While I was talking to him he shared some details about the meeting that Equititrend had with Mr. Strickland.Now be advised that this is what Ryan told me and if it doesn't coincide with what has been posted here before I'm not trying to step on anyones toes. Equititrend was shown a preview of the 2nd version of Spooztools and were very impressed with its ease of use and it's speed. The financials are being organized dating back to the last 2 yrs by a firm called the Adler group, so that when they do report they will have all there ducks in a row. Ryan also said that they should have them out(audited) by the end of year. When I pressed him for a timetable he said it could be Nov-Dec. As far as a press release he told me that we will start seeing them(more than one)in September. They will be concerning the financials, and many BIG brokerage names. He used as an example Ameritrade,(he said it not me), if I had an account with Ameritrade(which I do) I would be able to use Spooztools. I know Wing had been led to believe that we would see a press release this week, but I'm just telling you what was told to me. If you would like to check on this yourself I told Ryan I would be posting this info on this board, and he encouraged me to do so. His number at Equititrend is 1-858-436-3350.I won't post his last name, that you can ask for yourself. Take care and GLTA, Steve

An e-mail response from Paul Strickland. I believe we are on the right track with Ameritrade. allie
There is some great news coming this month. As far as the Ameritrade rumor is concerned I can tell you that we are one of the first companies invited to write SpoozToolz to both their price and execution APIs. We are in the process now although Version 2 of SpoozToolz will not be released until early Q1 2007. Although we have not issued a PR with respect to this, you may post it as it is fairly common knowledge in the Chicago trading community and certainly not insider information. As for the terms of the Ameritrade, and other distribution and marketing considerations we can make no further comment at this time.
For all those people who trade on technical analysis, we have a confirmed double bottom. Also, big news coming soon!
Double Bottom:
A technical analysis term used to describe a chart on which the price of a security has made two approximately equal bottoms over a period of time. Technical analysts try to buy at one of the bottoms in anticipation of a rise (which would make the shape of a "W" on the chart).
The double bottom is a major reversal pattern that forms after an extended downtrend. As its name implies, the pattern is made up of two consecutive troughs that are roughly equal, with a moderate peak in between.

Valuable and important information to read from Paul Strickland. Thank you, allie
I do read the boards from time-to-time, if only to help me gauge general investor concerns and the temperature of the water, so to speak. I like to pay attention to our shareholders, after all, I work for them.
I read some of the posts today and I became concerned that there are some general misconceptions regarding our industry, SpoozToolz and our marketing plan. I am writing this to you because I have read some of the stuff you have posted on the boards. I find you insightful and in possession of significant business acumen. I respect the way in which you handle yourself in the face of adversity and the manner in which you have defused certain situations with tact and kindness. So this is a communication for you to share with others. I will try to explain why there is significant interest in SpoozToolz by large, online Brokers knowing that you already understand.
Firstly, SpoozToolz supports multiple asset classes. In other words, you can trade stocks, options, cash bonds, mutual funds, futures, Forex, ETFs, etc., all with ease. This means that any Brokerage firm executing any of the aforementioned asset classes fall into our target market because Brokers are the Spooz customers. (We can talk about the exchanges, who are at the top of the food chain, later.) Knowing the industry as I do, I can suggest there is another aspect of large Brokers that tends to be true; most Brokers develop technology with the same relative efficiency as governments manage real estate. Brokers tend to acquire technology, not develop technology.
Online Brokers have a singular goal in life … transaction revenues. Of course large Brokers have multiple revenue streams, they are like banks, but technology to them is simply a means to an end. They will employ any technology that will help them; 1) open new customer accounts, 2) increase the average transactions of their existing accounts.
Someone made the point in a post today that a certain large Broker would not change out, or modify their execution infrastructure due to SpoozToolz. This is absolutely correct, but is hardly required and, therefore, irrelevant. SpoozToolz sits on top of their existing execution platform, be it web based or no … it matters not. We simply write to the Broker’s execution Application Program Interface (API) and trade directly through their existing infrastructure including connectivity to any exchange upon which they offer execution. In addition, we also write to the price feed API and receive quotes and news for display in a spreadsheet. This means that Spooz is not responsible for exchange fees for acquisition of real-time data. That would be the responsibility of the Brokers.
The real question is: How does one launch a global marketing effort without spending $50 million for marketing to ensure its success? The answer is by using a technique termed “channel marketing”, or, forming relationships with Broker partners who will serve Spooz as distribution channels directly to their customers. What’s more, if the trading technology has market appeal, they will fund a large part of the marketing budget.
Why would SpoozToolz appeal to a large online, electronic customer base? There are many reasons, here are ten good ones:
1. SpoozToolz Functionality – How can I build a simple screen that will allow me to sell 30 Dow stocks in their correct, price weighted proportions, and simultaneously buy the futures contract. How can I build a screen that will allow me to execute simple treasury swaps? How can I automatically adjust the quantity of stock to be executed downward due to an increase in volatility? How can I simply and easily program a Trade Execution Button (TEB) to place a limit order to buy an asset on the bid without ever entering a price? There is no platform out there that can accomplish this.
2. Extenability – SpoozToolz is not an execution platform built in Excel, rather, it extends the functionality of Excel. How far can this be extended? Competitors that have come before us, prior to the electronic trading age, built their core products upon trade decision support platforms offering quotes, charts, technical indicators, etc. These platforms now have third party developers writing plug-in execution platforms for use with their core products. In today’s world this is backward thinking, after-all, most execution platforms look, work and feel much the same. So how many execution platforms does one need? I know of one first tear data vendor that supports 11 of these third party plug-in platforms. Why??? Spooz has approached the problem from a different perspective. Spooz has designed the most flexible and customizable execution platform in the world. Version 2 will incorporate an open API so that any third party developer can easily write trading applications to SpoozToolz. Imagine, instead of supporting 11 execution platforms, Spooz will support dozens of new trading applications, such as a market depth module, an extended options module, a Level II module, or a price distribution charting module all developed by third parties. Spooz will maintail rigorous QC standards and market these applications as plug-ins. We already have an area on our website to facilitate third party developers and we currently have relationships with several. It is our intent to launch 2 or 3 unique trading applications about the same time we roll out SpoozToolz Version There is no competitor out there that is pursuing this.
3. Flexibility – with SpoozToolz one could solve almost any business problem in very short order, and without a programmer. One example might be for an airline to hedge jet fuel ten years in advance, or for an import/exporter to eliminate cross rate currency risk, or for a family man with a mutual fund portfolio to track and manage his investments. There is no single platform out there that can accomplish this.
4. Customizability – There is a reason we have not published lots of templates as of this time. Our competition does not yet see what we see, so why tip our hand? It will be possible in the future, however, for a SpoozToolz customer, no matter where his Brokerage account resides, to go online and retrieve a template that seems to sill his needs. These templates are .xls files, and I believe that most traders will modify templates (by altering formulae or inserting their proprietary algorithms) to customize them. There is no platform out there that can accomplish this.
5. Compatibility – You can download anything into Excel, form inventory systems to foreign bank account information, automatically and with ease. There is no platform out there that can accomplish this.
6. Versatility – Execute multiple asset classes, for multiple accounts, at multiple Brokers from the same screen at the same time. There is nothing out there that can accomplish this.
7. Unparalleled Analysis Capabilities – I found one comment I read on the boards mildly amusing today. I believe the writer was amused by the words “market data analysis.” I interpret this to mean that the writer trades without analyzing data. This means he/she can not be using technical indicators, looking at any measure of volatility, probability, or for that matter, risk management. But what if he/she could? What if he/she had a tool that would allow them to instantly download into a spreadsheet ten years of price and volume history on any stock, bond, futures contract (our database for the grains goes back to 1963), etc.
8. Wireless Trading – How many hand-held devices currently support Excel? How many will support Excel in 5, no 2 years. This means that a Brokers customer can trade, with the click of a button they defined on a screen they developed, at anytime from anywhere in the world. Who can do this?
9. Regional Portability – Do you want to expand marketing efforts to India, Mr. Broker? Develop 10-20 regionally oriented Excel templates for use in a particular market, any market, and you are already there. Anyone have any idea where I might find this technology?
10. Support – Since SpoozToolz extends the functionality of Excel to facilitate trading and related analysis, reporting, and management. And since Microsoft does a good job of supporting Excel, can we not claim that to a certain degree, isn’t Microsoft supporting SpoozToolz. Weak argument you say? I wasn’t necessarily referring to technical support, I was talking about growth. More importantly, we will provide technical support to our partner Brokers customers so that the Broker doesn’t have to. Okay, there is competition that does well supporting their own solutions.
For these reasons and more, SpoozToolz is a disruptive technology. Further, it will be offered at disruptive price points. I defy anyone to touch the capabilities of SpoozToolz for less than $400 per month, or $1,000 per month for that matter. It simply does not exist anywhere on the planet. So why am I writing this letter knowing, no asking, that it be posted for our shareholders to consider? Because an interesting conversation ensued while I was in San Diego last week due to a remark made in a stock report on SPZI. It was the contention of the writer that if some large Broker was developing a similar product, that is a spreadsheet-based product, that they would launch it and burry Spooz. I believe this to be such an errant assumption that I would encourage a large Broker to do just that. If this occurred, do you believe this incredibly insightful Broker, already having deep pockets as a result of transaction revenue, would supply this technology to his competitor Brokers? If not, where ever could they find it?
