Spooz, Inc. Announces Strategic Partnership With the Linn Group Companies to Share Technology, Services to Provide First Comprehensive Integrated Business Solution to Futures and Options Traders CHICAGO, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spooz, Inc. (Pink Sheets: SPZI) today announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with the Linn Group to further enhance the company's innovative SpoozToolz(TM) software that bundles real-time market data, advanced technical analysis, charting, order execution and numerous other functions designed primarily for commodities and futures traders. As part of the agreement Spooz will occupy space adjacent to the Linn Group's offices in the Chicago Board of Trade. "We have spent years refining SpoozToolz in an operational trading environment. SpoozToolz has evolved into a totally integrated package that we believe will become one of the hottest programs in the commodities market," said Spooz CEO Paul D. Strickland Jr. "Our alliance with the Linn Group will help us raise SpoozToolz to the next level as we aim for a full-scale commercial launch this fall." Strickland said SpoozToolz is the first totally integrated program that taps the power of Microsoft Excel(R) by combining streaming quotes, charts, technical analysis, a comprehensive historical database and trade execution into a simple add-in. When SpoozToolz is loaded onto a computer it becomes part of the Excel tool bar, providing trading and analysis screens and an electronic trading gateway. It promotes building highly customized templates that track the real-time market value of users' portfolios, asset inventories and production using data directly from their existing accounting systems. "The operational learning curve has been flattened because Excel is the most commonly used program in the industry," Strickland said. "In the past hedgers and traders would run several programs to accomplish what SpoozToolz provides in a single program that most market professionals are already adept at using, and in fact, already have on their desks." The Linn Group, also known for its technical innovation, will provide additional technology and its clearing and execution services and industry experience to make SpoozToolz even more indispensable to the market. Adam Linn, vice-president and director of asset management for the Linn Group, said, "We believe that SpoozToolz is a platform that satisfies the needs of a vast array of market participants with its simple integration into Microsoft Excel. The Linn Group looks forward to adding value and support to the outstanding Spooz management team." Darryl Dennis, chief marketing officer of Spooz, added, "In the next few months, Spooz will distribute SpoozToolz to every university agricultural economics department in America, plus over 650,000 hedgers, traders and commodities participants. We will be first-to-market with this type of program, and we believe SpoozToolz will become the industry standard." Dennis said the software will be offered on a limited-time, free-trail basis, after which users will be required to subscribe. Subscribers will be supported through online forums, education, and training on Spooz websites.
