Question
I have 2 Midswana Diamond Certificates $5000.00 .And I also have a Vertex ventures Inc Certificte $860.00 Can you tell me if there is any money for these?? Thank You Robert Wintonyk

Answer
Robert, from the information I have available, Midswana and Vertex are the exact same company. In 1999, Midswana did a 1 for 5 reverse split and changed its name to Vertex. Unfortunately, they don't have any current value. Vertex later changed its name to First Strike Diamonds, which was delisted and cease-traded in 2003 after hitting hard times. Those cease-trade orders remain in effect today.
