I read about a couple of new deals that Comstream put together this week that sounded quite promising but suddenly the share price is heading south. What gives? Is it just part of the general malaise in the markets? Is their any other news on Spar? |

Hello Carey, I'm posting to this thread as part of my DD on a company called Hall Train Entertainment (Canadian OTC-HTRN). I'm not attempting to hype the stock, however if you read the following post you'll understand why I'm here. Is this info common knowledge, is it true, is it important to spar or is it a little bit of gravy on the side. Sorry I don't follow Spar but I saw this thread tonight and had to ask.
Thanks a lot Randy
As you know Halltrain does have an animation department.
They have done various productions including a sequence for the American Museum of
Natural History, footage seen on the Learning Channel and PBS, and award winning
commercials.
The dinosaurs they are building for MCA/Universal are also very specialized.
The latest contract is for the largest dinosaur ever built, the
Memenchisaurus, measuring 80 feet in length, which appeared on the earth in the late
Jurassic period, approximately 100 Million years ago. It will premiere for viewing at
the prestigious American Museum of Natural History, New York City.
The lifesize dinosaurs they are building for the MCA/Universal theme parks are
robotic, and will move on their own.
The robotics are being done by Spar Aerospace, the company that designed the
Canada Space Arm for the NASA space shuttles.
This is one of the foremost robotics companies in the world.
It is big business Halltrain is getting into.
Their CEO Lawrence Keller was with 20'th Century Fox for 10 years, as Canadian
Vice President and General Manager, followed by a promotion to position of Vice
President of 20'th Century Fox Television and Communications International
After rereading my post it does sound a little bit like hype :o)
but I would appreciate any insight. |

I read the recent annual report. SPAR is losing money. I believe that's why the stock price is heading lower.
Randy,
If this dinosaur building concepts spreads, SPAR is positioned at the vanguard and should capitalize on it. My superficial opinion after travelling around the USA, is amusement parks and county fairs are alive and well. While in Las Vegas, NV last month, I noticed the MGM Grand had is own theme park for the kids and across the street the New York, New York had a roller coaster circling the casino/hotel. Sorry, I did not see any dinosaurs. Last year, the family went to, Reptile Gardens in Rapid City, SD. If SPAR could make inexpensive dinosaurs, I bet the gardens would buy a few for its majority market--kids that love gators, crocs, lizards, turtles, etc. The 7 flags are sprouting up, theorectically, less than 1 days drive away from most areas of the USA. Here is another potential customers along with the Disneys. Just my initial mutterings, but I can see a specialized niche market for the dinosaur products. Remember kids think dinosaurs are cute. |
