IENT- The First Game Released in 5 Years Just Hit the Shelves! JW Stealey Announced That it’s Finally Time to Reboot The Company!

A great brand new company is about to emerge in the $8 billion online global games market, the fastest growing sub-segment of the $41 billion worldwide games business. And it’s going to be a real-world techno Thriller!

Our members could see gains of 100% or more relatively quickly!

“We’re going after the Tom Clancy’s of tomorrow,” Stealey said.
Note: IENT has signed contracts with several New York Times Recognized Best Selling Authors for numerous upcoming games releases. Be Prepared, with the release of such information around the corner IENT’s stock price could go astronomical! “Interesting to note the biggest military author, Tom Clancy (signed his first game deal with Fred Schmidt, Now Thriller New Media’s CEO)
Why do they have so much confidence to be able to get a slice in such a fastest growing segment of the 41 billion USD global video games industry – the eight-billion-dollar-a-year online games market? They will tell you with great pride. Many members of the Thriller New Media team have strong roots in military video games, spy games, FPS action games and online multiplayer games going back to circa 1985-92 MicroProse, one of the most successful game brands of all time. The team’s goal is to once again build a world-class, worldwide, online game company in the tradition of MicroProse with long term franchise value.

Note: They sold Microprose to Hasbro for $70 Million in the early 90’s.

iEntertainment was in quiet mode for about two years because Stealey hoped to sell the business, but late last year he switched gears and moved to revive the business.

Company Overview:
Thriller New Media was created in late 2007 by Wild Bill Stealey, who first worked as executives at legendary 1980’s-era game brand/studio/publisher, MicroProse Software. Bill co-founded MicroProse with hall-of-fame game designer, Sid Meier. Wild Bill Stealey has (with a great bunch of other folks, to be sure!) created and launched best-selling game titles like F-15 Strike Eagle, F-117A Stealth Fighter, Gunship, Silent Service, Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising (the game), Pirates!, Railroad Tycoon, Civilization and many more.

The job of creating a successful game company today is bigger than it has ever been before. So Wild Bill Stealey is actively reassembling a lot of the best talent they have ever worked with in the industry and using that extended network to further build a top-rate development and publishing organization.

Thriller is going to be all about exciting games in the leading genres of shooters, action, strategy and simulations…pursuing the No.1 experience that every game should always be about: “Is it fun?” That is achieved through well-conceived game design…good technology and graphics…easy-to-get-into but hard-to-master play style…often a compelling storyline, characters you care about and maybe even a chance to learn some new things along the way…and reaching the player community in all the places and ways in which they are enjoying their games today: on PC’s and new-gen consoles, online in social communities of all sizes, and via mobile devices on the go.
The possibilities for meaningful interactive fun – both alone against computer AI, and with old and new friends online — are more plentiful than ever before. And Thriller is committed to mining those possibilities with all the insight that our highly experienced team brings to this mission.

Creative and development relationships with industry-leading talent and studios will extend worldwide – wherever they need or want to be. Some initial Thriller/partner products might emerge yet in late-2009 / early-2010 from existing studios with whom we are already in covert discussions.
We’re excited and preparing for take-off! See you behind enemy lines…

Stock Trading Basics

You might have stumbled across a number of web sites which claim to teach you stock trading basics. But there are very few people who really overcome the learning curve and get acquainted with the trading basics. If you are looking for an informative article the youve come to the right place. This article teaches you what stock trading really is and how you can succeed if you are going to delve in it.

So what are stocks? In simple words, stocks can be defined as a small share in the ownership of any company. You must have known the fact that big companies need heavy investments to get their business going on the right track. These huge investments may not be possible for any owner. So he/she issues the stocks of company to attract the investors all around so that they can invest in the business of the company. This is very helpful as there will be many contributors who can contribute to the investments of the company. However, stocks exempt the owners from any compensation if the company is unfortunate enough to go bankrupt due to some economic let-down. Moreover, stocks can also help in the growth of the business of the companies. In other words, no big company can survive without stocks because it has to extend its network to other countries and the best way to do this is to attract the investors so that they help in spreading the business in the whole world.

Why would investors buy stocks? This question might be banging your mind but the fact is that these stocks can give a huge advantage to the stock-buyer. Usually investors invest in those companies who, they think, would flourish in leaps and bounds. Keep in mind that stock-buyers do have share in the profit of the companies in which they make investments. So if the company becomes successful then it would directly increase the profit of the investor. This direct relationship between the increase in the profit of the stock-buyer and the success of the company is very attractive and force the investors to come on the scene.

If you are very new to stocks then you might be thinking about where this stock trading is done! This stock trading is done in stock exchanges. There are various stock exchanges in which the stocks of the companies are listed and the investors bid for getting the small share in the ownership of the company. In fact, these stock exchanges are the epicenters of the economy of any country. This is the reason that whenever the economy of the company is discus then the first thing that is given much importance is stock values.

There are many people who think that as stock trading is very unpredictable, so it is better to make savings instead of making investments. As a matter of fact, this perception is totally wrong because your savings can not give you enough profit while investments can double the amount of money you invested. There are cases when this does not come true but if you are shrewd and you really know the business market then you can convert your billions into trillions easily.[private_Vip]Bullquake[/private_Vip]

Everything you need to know about Day Trading Penny Stocks

Ok! Let’s devote a little time first to a term known as “day-trading” in reference to penny stocks. A person who’s primary goal is to make his or her profits from the purchase and sale of a stock in the shortest amount of time, preferably a single day, is called a day-trader.

Day-traders go for immediate in-and-out gains, and there are lots of them! A day-trader might actually use technical analysis software and real-time financial news stories, from the online service providers or TV networks, to find a stock to buy. They dive in and buy a lot of shares hoping for a quick price increase. They are willing to take a small 1/8th or 1/4 point upward price move on a stock in just a matter of hours (hopefully minutes) for a small but quick profit. Of course, that small profit might not be that small. The size of the profit depends on the total number of shares purchased.

It usually takes some really good late breaking news to make a stock start to take-off on a fast upward move. This can be in the form of a great 10Q report, or a great report on a new product, or even a recommendation in a newsletter. Day-traders look for news that causes quick movement.

Your technical analysis software can recognize price and volume changes in the trading pattern of a penny stock. Sometimes these unusual changes will cause your software to issue a buy or a sell signal. Your software can recognize a trend developing and alert you to make a decision.

To describe day-trading, be nimble is the keyword. Many investors buy stocks with the expectation of holding on for a reasonable length of time for a hefty increase in share price. But not day-traders! These folks think that an hour is long time to wait, and all they want is rather a small move.

Day traders can make huge amounts of money by simply making a lot of trades. They give up the big moves that take longer in exchange for smaller sized profits on a higher number of trades. This only became possible within the past few years due the lower trading cost at discount brokerages.

Normally, penny stocks are not expensive stocks issued by start-up companies or businesses facing bankruptcy and these stocks are traded on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) and the Pink Sheets. Only very few penny stocks are listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX because they are risky. And since the stocks have fewer shareholders, they trade infrequently and can be difficult to sell once you own them.

Here are a few instructions on how to day trade penny stocks for your consideration.

Never consider penny stocks that you acquired about either from unsolicited emails or that are sold by offshore brokers. You should subscribe only to websites that offer real-time information on penny stocks and never forget to pay a fee for their advice, tips and databases. Doing some research about any company you are considering investing in can definitely help you successfully day-trade. Then, read articles in business newspapers and do an Internet search on the company owners. Additionally, always listen to news and rumors, because they are the forces behind driving the penny stock movement. Now, look out if there is a market for the product a company is selling before deciding to day-trade in its stock. And finally, because trading in penny stocks is risky, these brokers are asked to acquire written confirmation about the transaction from the client and along with it is a document warning of the risks of day-trading in penny stocks.

Stocks vs. Bonds: The Big Difference

The difference between stocks and bonds is one of the most fundamental things to learn when thinking about investing in the stock market. Stocks, or shares of stock, usually represent an ownership interest in a corporation. Bonds on the other hand are a form of long-term debt in which the issuing corporation promises to pay the principal amount at a given date. Considered as the two major asset classes of investors, stocks and bonds have an important role in a part of a well-diversified portfolio. That’s why understanding their relationship can help make the needed balance in an investment account and to managing money as well.

Only if the corporation declares a dividend, that’s when stocks pay dividends to the owners. Dividends are a distribution of a corporation’s profits. Bonds remunerate interest to the bondholders. A fixed interest payment is made every six months on the bond contract.

It’s given that every corporation has common stock and that some corporations issue preferred stock aside to its common stock. These corporations simply do not issue bonds. Normally, largest corporations issued the stocks and bonds which are often traded on stock and bond exchanges. For small corporations, the stocks and bonds are often held by investors and are never traded on an exchange.

When issued to raise capital, stocks and bonds do it in dissimilar ways. Issuing bonds involves restricting corporations to using money raised through bonds to fund short-term operations. When raising a specific amount of money to run the business, they issue one-month or three-month bonds period to make it happen, and then pay back the bonds at interest with the revenue from business activities. For issuing stocks, valuing the entire company and breaking it up into equal shares are needed. Here, the capital is not paid back and not restricted. Time is a factor in bonds when it comes to paying back the capital loan. Stocks, on the other hand, do not need amortization and do not have an expiration date.

Both stocks and bonds factor credit risk into their pricing, but again, do it in dissimilar ways. They say the greater the credit risk a company or entity poses, the more likely it is unsuccessfully to pay its debts, thus, the lower its stock will be worth. Equity investors will begin to factor the default risk into the price of a stock of a company, unwilling to take the risk of being wiped out entirely. While bondholders is perceived to gain from higher credit risk companies, since defaults on corporate paper rarely happens. And because of the higher risk, these risk companies are actually forced to pay a higher interest rate to get funding, and this translates into additional revenue for the bondholder.

However, it is but possible that companies can go bankrupt, and if they do, the equity of shareholders could be wiped out completely. In order of seniority, the bondholders, to some changing degrees, will be made whole. Stocks carry partial ownership in a business, while bonds make an investor a creditor in a business instead. Now, in the event of a purchase of a company, the acquiring company takes over all the debt of the acquired company. Simply put, it covers the payments to the bondholders, and also the issues shares of itself to equity holders.

Talk about its potential, stocks offer a way for capital investors to tap into the explosive growth of individual companies and economies. Bonds, on the other hand, functions the exact opposite, with most investors flocking in times of doubtfulness to the guaranteed return of capital.

To sum it all up, if you are looking for a short term investment, then the bonds will give you better security and return as well. But if the investment is being planned for more than ten years, then there is no doubt that the stock market is right for you!

Why Trade Penny Stocks?

Penny stocks are low-priced securities that are currently trading $5 or less per share and are traded outside of the main markets, such as NASDAQ, AMEX and NYSE. Frequently these stocks have dropped from much higher prices and now trade relatively small with low volume. And because they are commonly maneuvered independently and are extremely cheap, penny stocks have been often labeled as nothing more than a beginner’s game for inexperienced investors.

Now, before a broker-dealer can ask or sell a penny stock, SEC rules and guidelines need the firm to first let and permit the customer for the transaction and receive from the customer a written agreement to the transaction. The firm should provide the customer a document demonstrating the possible risks of investing in penny stocks. After that, the firm should tell the customer the current market quotation, if any, for the penny stock and the compensation the firm and its broker will get or receive for the trade. Then, the firm must send monthly account statements describing the market value of each penny stock held in the account of the customer.

So, why try trade penny stocks? Penny stocks allow a speculator to buy a large number of shares with a relatively small amount of money. The speculator, then purchase the best penny stocks, which hopefully will yield or create a large return on their initial investment. Now, if a speculator has a strategy, it can possibly work; but then, the odds of succeeding at this game are slim to none though.

To effectively and successfully trade penny stocks, there are a few instructions you should consider.

First, contact a broker if you are looking for some advice on how to get started but never expect a professional to take over a portfolio based only on penny stocks. Because the potential for profit is small unless of course you are willing to invest huge amounts of money, a broker is unlikely to be interested. Once you learn the fundamentals, however, you must be able to trade over the internet or phone no longer needing help from a middleman.

Second, you should always remember that penny stocks are very high-risk investments. While they are more likely than any other type of stock to lose value over a long period of time, increasing their value to double or triple is a possibility.

Third, consider where your local over-the-counter (OTC) market is best situated. And since penny stocks are typically not traded through the stock exchange market but instead through side exchange sites, locating a direct contact is needed.

Fourth, you should understand and learn the bid and ask price connection. Why? It’s primarily because penny stocks are being sold not by single unit price but by estimated values. So when you decide to purchase a penny stock, you are actually paying the ask price, which is what the seller considers a fair value for the stock. Of course, this is not necessarily the true value of the stock. Often times it is inflated by at least 25 percent. A spread is called the difference between the bid (real) and ask (selling) price and is the base in which you will have to compute your potential earnings.

Fifth, you should use a broker if you plan to purchase stocks in sets of 100. Typically, these are being sold by people called as market makers, who are responsible for handling penny stocks and organizing their sale in a way almost identical to an auction. And since you are only allowed to purchasing 100 stocks, you can always choose to back out if it gets too pricey on subsequent sets.
