A confirmed DOUBLE BOTTOM has taken place, which means a major reversal is in effect. SPZI should continue to run up today.
Many investors are anticipating the BIG PR's to be released in September. This is going to get extremely interesting next week. Load up on cheap shares folks, for these discount prices won't be around for much longer.

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?
I know someone who knows someone!

Paul D. Strickland, Jr., CEO

We are sitting on the bottom, the only way to go from here is UP. The time to be loading up on shares is NOW, not when the PPS is at 0.05 or 0.10, can ya dig dat?
Big news is imminent. We have Fractalz³ EOD Coming October 16, 2006. The end of day version of Fractalz³ is a stand alone market data predictive analysis tool for novice and advanced traders. In addition to that, we have SpoozToolz version 2.0 to be released in early 2007. In conclusion, what are you dumbshyts (bashers or people not invested in SPZI as of yet) waiting for?? LOAD THE BOAT!! It's a no brainer. YES, this is one of those opportunities to get in on a stock that trades at the ground floor (0.01), but WILL be 0.10 in due time, mark my words.

Spooz, Inc. to Launch Fractalz3 Tuesday September 12, 10:21 am ET
CHICAGO, IL--(MARKET WIRE)--Sep 12, 2006 -- Spooz, Inc. (Other OTC:SPZI.PK - News) announced today that it will launch a new product named Fractalz3 on October 16, 2006. The Fractalz3 market data analysis product is price-predictive software based upon chaos theory. Fractalz3 utilizes multiple fractal algorithms in multi-dimensional analysis to find the underlying patterns in market data. The Fractalz3 application then projects future buy and sell points with a high degree of accuracy. The new product can be utilized for trading stocks, futures, ETFs, Forex and spreads.
"We are excited about bringing this high order of scientific research mathematics into a market data analysis forecasting product that any trader or investor can use," said Erik Long, Director of Strategic Technology for Spooz, Inc. After four years of development by multiple Physicists, this product is a leading edge price predictive technology.
Fractalz3 includes eight new and unique multi-dimensional fractal algorithms to provide highly accurate price prediction. "We have had several traders using this product for a number of months with remarkable results," stated Paul Strickland, Spooz's Chairman and CEO. "In my 25 years of trading I have never seen another price forecasting model that has as much promise as Fractalz3. In one case, an active trader did not realize a single loss in the initial six weeks he traded with this product."
Fractalz3 EOD stand-alone version will be available at www.fractalz3.com for $89 per month including access to the Spooz end-of-day database for stocks, futures, indices and Forex. An advanced Fractalz3 intraday version will be available Q1 2007 as an add-on module for SpoozToolz, the company's flagship product suite.

I can hear some of you thinking, “Nice story, Paul, but let’s cut to the chase.”
Spooz looks for technologies that are in their early stages of development but that have a huge potential in the market place.
1. October 16 - Fractalz³ EOD – This product represents for its target market a first-to-market advantage. Spooz currently has a multi-faceted marketing plan that will pre-sell this product directly and through brokers. The introductory price will be $89 per month including end-of-day (EOD) historical data from the Spooz servers. The markets covered will be domestic equities, options, futures and Forex. Although Fractalz³ has been operational for some time, Spooz will utilize the auto update feature extensively. Spooz will supply technical support for the brokers and direct sales. The marketing plan will be supported by email, web advertising, value added resellers, brokerage distribution channels and direct sales. See fractalz3 .com.
2. Early Q1 2007 – SpoozToolz v. 2.0 – This product represents a first-to-market at almost every level, with the possible exception of low latency, institutional proprietary trading. (In reality, we will achieve entry to this market because we believe it will come to us as a result of our middleware component that removes the lion’s share of the processing requirements from Excel. This middleware provides the ability to create large spreadsheets containing complex math at high computational speeds. The SpoozToolz Application middleware is, in and of itself, a potential enterprise product offering.) The product will be offered at an introductory price of $89 per month. The marketing plan will be supported by email, direct mail, trade publication advertising, value added resellers, brokerage distribution cannels and direct sales. Our research, together with other industry knowledge, leads us to believe that it is possible for sales of this product to become explosive in the latter half of 2007. Spooz has conservatively projected 2007 sales at approximately $7 million, however, we believe the potential exists for them to be far greater.
3. Early Q1 - Fractalz³ v. 1.00 – This product will employ the same math as the EOD product except that it can be applied to bid/ask data and market depth. It will utilize SpoozToolz as its electronic execution platform, will employ Excel as its GUI, and will communicate with SpoozToolz through the SpoozToolz Application API. Fractalz³ will become the first “third-party” application to Spooz.
4. Early Q1 – Extended Options Module – This product is another “third party” application that allows options traders to build complex trading models by employing several different theoretical valuation models, or for that matter, your own if you are fortunate enough to have one lying around. This application will allow users to calculate and graph risk sensitivities and complex positions in an Excel environment which, again, provides a first-to-market advantage. Extended options will be deployed in the form of a modular plug-in and priced as an add-on to the base $89 SpoozToolz.
As of this writing, all development is on schedule and multiple patents are being penned.
By the end of Q1 next year, Spooz will launch several software products that will establish the underpinnings of a complimentary product portfolio that will appeal to a huge global market, and this, represents Holy Grail for Spooz.

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?
I know someone who knows someone!

Paul D. Strickland, Jr., CEO

G,
The Fractalz3 End of Day will be released October 16. It is a stand-alone application meaning it is self contained and does not use SpoozToolz. The subscription price will be $89 per month for the Fractalz3 product.
SpoozToolz Version 2 coming out Q1 will have several new technologies added that will aid us in capturing greater market share faster. Among these is an open API to our middleware. This will enable 3rd party developers to easily integrate modules (additional applications) to SpoozToolz.
SpoozToolz Version 2 will be sold as follows: $89 per month for the basic SpoozToolz product. Some optional templates and trading systems will cost extra, some will be free. Optional add-on Modules will cost extra. The Modules are designed of supply additional functionality that only appeals to specific market segments of traders. The average retail stock trader will probably not use the Modules. For example the Extended Options Module will provide high level professional options analysis capabilities for futures and equities options traders.
The strategy behind this product design is to provide a low cost entry in to SpoozToolz where you only pay for the functionality you need.
