    HOUSTON, TX, Oct 03, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) ----The Court appointed Receiver of the assets of Eternal Technologies Group, Inc. has filed Motion in the United States District Court to hold the company in contempt of Court. The Motion states that, "Eternal Technologies' refusal to comply with the Court's loud and clear order to turn over assets to pay the $961,000.00 Judgment constitutes contempt of Court."

    The Receiver was appointed to collect on the Turnover Order issued by United States District Judge Vanessa D. Gilmore on September 23, 2008, is to collect on the unsatisfied Judgment Western Securities Corporation has against Eternal Technologies Group rendered in the U.S. District Court of the Southern District of Texas, Civil Action Number H-O5-02504 on October 31, 2007.

    The Receiver's motion also stated, "that the only way for this Court to send a message to Eternal Technologies that if it wants to do business in this country, it must obey the law of this country, is to begin fining Eternal Technologies $10,000 per day until such time as Eternal Technologies turns over its cash and stock interest as necessary to pay the Judgment."

    The Receiver's Motion to hold Eternal Technologies Group in Contempt of Court stated:

       1. "The total amount due the Receiver to satisfy the underlying Judgment
       is in the present sum of $961,000.00 and is increasing daily due to
       the accrual of post-judgment interest and receiver's fees."
       2. "The Over the Counter Bulletin Board, where Eternal Technologies is
       traded publicly, determined that the effect of the Receivership on
       Eternal Technologies was a 'material event' and should be disclosed
       to the public."
       3. "The Court's loud and clear Order to Eternal Technologies was to turn
       over to the Receiver all of its cash, securities and share
       certificates to the extent necessary to satisfy the $961,000 Judgment.
       Eternal Technologies did nothing."
       4. "The 10KSB/A that Eternal Technologies filed yesterday indicates that
       it had approximately $12,000,000.00 in cash on hand and approximately
       $37,000,000.00 of working capital at the end of December, 2007."
       5. "Based on Internet postings by Eternal Technologies it appears that it
       is more than able to pay the Judgment with no adverse effect on its
       operations or stock value."
       6. "In its June 25, 2007 press release Eternal Technologies announced that
       it was going to repurchase as many as 2,300,000 of its issued and
       outstanding shares. However many of the shares were repurchased by
       Eternal Technologies, those shares are treasury shares of Eternal
       Technologies, they are within the scope of the Receivership Order
       and must be turned over to the Receiver."
       7. "Eternal Technologies owns the following stock interests:
       30% interest in Hainan Futian Green Agriculture Co., Ltd.
       30% interest in Maoming Huatong Orchard Trading Co., Ltd.
       100% interest in E-Sea Biomedical Engineering Co.

       100% interest in Willsley Company Limited
       22% interest in Hong Yuan Acquatics Products, Inc."

    No-Load Funds

    Some mutual funds want you to pay for the privilege of them (or your investment adviser) taking your money to invest. It's called a load, and it works like a cover charge to get into a nightclub. Luckily, there are such things as no-load funds. As the name implies, shares of these funds are sold without a fee paid to a broker or investment advisor.

    The entire amount you invest in no-load funds goes to work for your returns. On the other hand, with load funds, right off the bat you're charged commission (not to mention other fees incurred over the life of the investment). Let's say, for example, you invest $25,000 into a load fund that charges a 5% commission. This costs you $1,250 off the top, bringing your actual investment down to only $23,750.

    The often-cited horse race analogy argues against investing in load funds. Here's the logic behind it: Would you place a bet on a horse that had to start a race 200 yards behind the others? Well, maybe you would if you got a tip from a sketchy, trench coat-clad man in a dark alley. However, under most circumstances, it's not smart to put your money on that handicapped horse.

    But some argue that at times that man in the trench coat (aka your broker) knows more about the horses than you do, and has a better shot at picking a winner. Also, sometimes these fees are unavoidable because some funds are available only through investment advisers.

    Cost-benefit analysis can help determine when a load fund is worth it (in other words, when it will score you a load) and when it is better to "do it yourself" and avoid the fees. Load-fund fees range depending on share class and can cover a variety of costs, such as paper work and fund management.
