In Network Money Management Era, Oracle FX FOREX Release Wealth dream plan

$

DELARE, USA – 23 Mar, 2017 – For many families, to make “money generate money” is a thing need to use their brain. It is the best choice to invest in finance to make money generate money, which includes many sectors, such as: foreign exchange, stocks, futures, spots, securities and so on.

Changes in stock market just like the excitement feeling of riding a roller coaster, and it believes that not all investors can afford to bear. Futures and spots need large amount of funds, which is unbearable for the general private investors. Now a lot of people begin to pay attention to invest in foreign exchange.

Today, Oracle FX foreign exchange traders will show you the mystery of investing in foreign exchange.

Five advantages of investing in foreign exchange

I. Margin stop-loss strategy

FOREX traders take out a small amount of money and control the large amount of money according to the principle of leverage (such as 1: 100), to conduct the foreign exchange trading. They can get more profits with small amount of funds. In transaction, the loss may equal to the proceeds, which is an important risk of foreign exchange margin trading.

II. Easy to use

Compared to investing in stocks, speculating in foreign currency is easier. Its modes of operation have similarities to investing in stocks, for example, technical analysis indicators, charts, price methods are the same, but the difference is that the stock market is periodical, and to buy stocks, one needs to spend a lot of time to search and understand various data of listed companies. Moreover, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the data. On the contrary, investing in foreign currency is irregular. It aims at the national economy, but not an industry’s behavior, neither a company’s behavior. As long as you often read news about the general economic situation of monetary countries, you can make your investment.

III. Insider dealing prohibited

Artificially manipulating of stock price can be found everywhere. But, foreign exchange’s ups and downs will not be manipulated. Each day, the trading volume is about 2 trillion US dollars, which is difficult for any bankers, funds, large customers and others to manipulate.

IV. Investment risk can be set

Any investment will be risky, and foreign exchange investment is no exception. But the risk of foreign exchange investment can be pre-set by the customers themselves. For example, a stop-loss price can be set at the time of making the investment. Once the stop-loss price is reached, the trading center will automatically help you close out. And when gaining profit, you can increase the stop-loss price constantly to maintain the earnings.

V. No limit on trading time

No time limit and the trading can be conducted 24 hours a day.

Oracle FX Group was founded in 2013, with full name of Oracle Finance International INC, and the Chinese name of Oracle International Financial Group, which is a well-known international foreign exchange service provider registered in the Virgin Islands, authorized and supervised by the Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (FSC). It is a member of the LME and CME exchanges. Benefiting from the global network coverage and a strong Oracle FX MT4 platform, it provides seamless integration of customers’ global investments, as well as the cutting edge and top-quality investment opportunities.

The trading directly connects to the international market, which is quiet convenience. The operating platform is diversified, applicable to Android and IOS and other mobile transaction client.

In addition, Oracle FX adopts a diversified strategy in terms of investment category. Besides the foreign exchange transactions, customers also can invest in a series of global commodity futures contract for differences, including gold, silver, and crude oil and so on.

Opportunity is fleeting. Will you look on coldly to miss the opportunity? Or join in Oracle FX foreign exchange?Future is in your own hands!

New Study Suggests Most Active Investment Managers Not Worth the Fee

$

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – 23 Mar, 2017 – A new study is providing some intriguing answers to a question that puzzles even the most seasoned investors:  Are active investment managers (e.g., mutual funds and hedge funds) adding value beyond that gained by simply investing in a low-cost index?

Sharath Sury, Executive Director of the Institute for Financial Innovation & Risk Management, a research think-tank, and an adjunct Professor of Economics at the University of California, presented new data at this month’s Family Office Forum in New York, indicating that a majority of long-only equity managers and fixed income managers, as well as many hedge funds and hedge fund of funds, have significant broad market exposure that are already available in much more cost and tax efficient index funds.

In many cases, active management fees are not translating into value above and beyond what a simple combination of index funds may provide, according to Sury. Indexed investment fees are a fraction of the cost of actively managed funds, often ranging from one tenth of one percent (0.1%) to one half of one percent (0.5%). In comparison, hedge funds typically charge a much higher fee (sometimes as much as 2-3% of assets under management plus an additional 20% of any positive performance).  As a result, certain active managers may earn 10 times the cost of an index, while providing similar value. 

“We have known for some time that long-only investment managers tend to closely match their benchmark indexes,” Sury said. “What is surprising is that many hedge funds—and hedge fund of funds—are exhibiting similar patterns with high correlations to simple indexed investments.”  Sury argues that as hedge funds (and fund of funds) become larger and more mature, it is difficult for them to procure risk-adjusted excess returns.  In fact, there is often an incentive for such firms to take a more conservative approach and simply follow the herd and provide average returns.  

However, he added that: “In our study, some managers in certain specific strategies did indeed exhibit high, consistent skill and value. The trick is to weed out those who do not, and have much more focused due diligence on those that do appear to add value.”

In 2006, Sury also introduced a new measure dubbed the “Alpha Cost Index,” that adjusted product fees to account for the level of alpha delivered. Sury’s ACI aimed to level the playing field by penalizing products that charge active management fees but that deliver the preponderance of their returns from broad market exposures.  As a useful ranking tool for due diligence, the measure has been slowly growing in popularity among institutional investment consultants and family investment offices.

Private wealth now investing directly In corporate and project financing

$

Ultra-/High Net Worth Individuals (U/HNWI’s) directly target local, regional and global corporate and project finance opportunities. Market fragmentation overcome for corporate and project finance advisors and their clients. Generic source of investment and corporate venturing opportunities for U/HNWI’s, family offices and other direct investors.

Private investors and capital-starved companies can now, for the first time, initiate directly negotiated private corporate and project finance transactions, without a matching service or other ‘gateway’ impeding the free flow of information.  TheWealthJournal.net (TWJ), which provides actionable intelligence for the wealthy, has launched an investment newswire which is now connecting private investors directly with capital raising companies and projects worldwide.  The service, DealWire, releases the flow of investment information with quality control and investor privacy assured by its registered Capital Raising Advisors (CRA’s), who are the corporate and project finance advisors raising capital for their clients.  Until now, U/HNWI’s and their family offices have had to rely on a range of professionals and investment vehicles to identify opportunities for them.  Now, DealWire enables them to initiate their own direct discussions, using their own wealth creation experience and professional advisors to structure their transactions.

Data contained in the Cap-Gemini World Wealth Report 2016, shows that there are 15.4 million U/HNWI’s worldwide with total investible capital of $58.7 trillion.   Twenty per cent of this wealth ($11.4 trillion) is directed into ‘alternative investments’ including corporate and project financings.  Most U/HNWI’s are successful, self-made entrepreneurs who deploy their wealth through their family office or an array of channels including hedge, private equity and venture capital funds along with other investment vehicles.  (Editors: See Backgrounder below for more on investor profile and info for your country/region).

TWJ publisher David G Rose, said: “It’s widely accepted across the private capital market that family offices and the U/HNWI’s behind them are rapidly becoming the new hedge funds.  Indeed, hedge funds themselves are morphing with venture capital, private equity and other direct investment vehicles into entirely new structures.  Facing this multitude of investment channels are thousands of corporate and project finance advisors with, behind them, even more thousands of capital-starved clients.   DealWire, by acting simply as a medium and not a ‘matching’ service, overcomes all this fragmentation by releasing the flow of investment opportunity information, in turn releasing a deep reservoir of untapped, pent-up private capital.  Naturally, quality control over business and project plans, as well as protecting investor privacy until they’re ready to engage with the CRA’s client, are all built into the structure.”

Current DealWire listings range across a $50,000 food processing start-up in Nigeria to a $2.2bn sustainable fuel project in Germany.  In turn generating rapidly growing interest from across the global private investment spectrum.  Investors set their preferences and receive only investment opportunities matching those preferences by deal value, investment stage, market sector and location.  Preferences can be changed quickly and easily at any time.

In closing Rose said: “Every market on the planet, financial or otherwise, has adopted technology over two decades to drive better efficiency.  Yet the private capital market, comprising more than half of any developed economy, still relies on a bottomless labyrinth of relationships and networks that no-one can navigate.  It’s not surprising that so few deals get initiated, let alone consummated.  Until now there has been no unrestricted flow of information on corporate and project finance opportunities.  DealWire, by releasing this basic information, backed up with the essential quality and privacy controls, brings private investment in corporate and project finance into the 21st century.”

TWJ is encouraging leading banks, worldwide, to provide DealWire as a white label service to their wealth, corporate and SME customers so that a global critical mass can be more quickly achieved.   Legislation has been introduced in most countries enabling this to be done with no risk to or liability on the banks themselves.

BACKGROUNDER:

Investor research and data

Data contained in the Cap-Gemini World Wealth Report 2016, shows that there are 15.4 million U/HNWI’s worldwide with total investible capital of $58.7 trillion.   Twenty per cent of this wealth ($11.4 trillion) is directed into ‘alternative investments’ including private debt and equity finance.   TWJ experience and research also shows that private investors are mostly self-made entrepreneurs who are often ‘wealth’ customers of their banks and CEO’s of their own successful private companies.  They invest or corporate venture either directly as individuals, through their companies or, increasingly, their family offices.  They are not risk averse and always interested to know about opportunities that could complement their existing activities.  Contrary to received wisdom, they do not restrict themselves to their own country or region.  Most DealWire subscribers register to see proposals from all over the world, even if they are interested in deal values of just $50,000 to $250,000.  Very often these deals come down to ‘successful entrepreneur’-on-‘upcoming entrepreneur’ transactions.

How DealWire works

When a deal has been posted to DealWire, Investors receive an e-mail notification with the headline of the opportunity matching their preferences, which then links them to a short ‘elevator pitch’ at the TWJ DealWire site.  There is a messaging service at DealWire through which the investor can make direct contact with the CRA to request the full business or project plan, ensuring the privacy that all U/HNWI’s demand.  If the investor is happy with the documentation they receive they will then go back to the CRA to engage with the capital raising client.  On deal closing, completion fees are always negotiated between the investor, CRA and the client and TWJ DealWire has no interest in those or any other fees.  Once the connection has been made between the investor and the CRA, DealWire has done its job.

Capital Raising Advisors (CRA’s)

Deals can only be posted by the CRA once they have assured themselves that the business or project plan is of a quality acceptable to investors.  CRA’s range across a wide range of professions including lawyers, accountants, boutique investment banks, but are mostly corporate and project finance advisors.  Over the past five years the market has been overrun with what experienced professionals call ‘joker-brokers’, often operating through social networks such as LinkedIn.  TWJ DealWire only accepts seasoned professionals as CRA’s who can only register if they have an established and professional website demonstrating that they are experienced in the corporate and project financing sector.

Compliance

DealWire is UK based and investors confirm as part of their subscription that they meet the requirements of UK FSMA 2000 (Financial Promotion Order) Amendment 2005.  However, similar ‘accredited investor’ regulations have been introduced in most developed countries and investors are advised that, if pursuing an opportunity outside of their own jurisdiction, the CRA may ask them to confirm their ‘accredited investor’ status.

2017 Summer Job Outlook for Teens appears to be promising in certain sectors, says Teens4Hire.org

Recent Bureau Of Labor Statistics show the US unemployment rate is at its lowest point (4.7%) since 2008 when former President Obama won his first election. We’re hopeful this means the growing possibility of new job openings this summer that teens could fill and the willingness of companies to hire self-motivated ambitious teens to fill them, says Teens4Hire.org.

Renée Ward, founder of Teens4Hire® and an advocate for teen employment says:

“Teens who want to work should know that while retail jobs are on the decline, there is growth in part-time business service jobs which includes the online sector. It’s time for young adults to get prepared, check out the opportunities, and get out of the house to go after a position of interest.”

She adds, “Teens don’t be shy about approaching companies in person. If you can demonstrate a positive attitude and the eagerness to learn, you’ll motivate people to hire you.” For the past decade, statistics show 3 out of 4 teens who wanted to work could not land jobs. They were stymied by a lackluster job market and having to compete with immigrants and older adults who were willing to accept the type of jobs traditionally held by teens, as well as, the same rate of pay.

Another bit of good news is the rise in the stock market has helped older workers near or at retirement age to see a nice increase in their 401k plans which gives many seniors the opportunity to bypass taking low wage part-time positions (traditionally held by teens) solely for needed income. As always, experience will trump inexperience. Adult teens (18-19) have an advantage over minor teens (14-17) in getting a job. That’s because older teens are perceived to be more mature, have prepped themselves better and/or already have some work experience.

In addition to the many free resources the site provides including a nationwide jobs database tailored to teens, it hosts an interview series, “My First Job”, profiling the first job stories of successful people. Teens seeking work can get tips that they can use today from these interviews.

Overall, businesses complain that teens are not prepared to work and don’t have the means or inclination to train young adults in work place fundamentals. To address this need, Teens4Hire.org offers an optional premium membership that includes a package of services designed to get teens that need help ready for the workplace, certified and prepared to compete for openings.

Ward says, “Parents should make this small one-time investment to “develop job readiness” if their teenager needs it.  It gives teens an edge in overcoming employer reluctance in hiring, has credible results and provides a work ethic foundation that lasts a lifetime.”

Internships (paid and non-paid) are proliferating. Young adults can find openings in a plethora of industries from computer technology to fashion.

Teens4Hire.org polls show that 80% of teens 14-19 want paying jobs. Teens crave paid work-based learning experiences such as internships, co-ops and apprenticeships that make education relevant and interesting and let them explore career options. But for pay, teens are willing to work as housekeepers and gardeners too. They need the income for necessities such as school supplies, transportation, phones, clothing, college tuition, and in many cases to help support their entire family.

Ward says, “We catch young people at the moment “they” feel they are ready to work. It is at this time that young people make critical choices that affect their transition into adulthood and shape their perceptions about the world of work. Work experience at this stage in life is critical, and people who spend a large share of their young adult years unemployed have a hard time finding and keeping a job later in life.”

Officially launched February 15, 2002, Teens4Hire.org is the #1 resource for recruiting the U.S. high school and college age group online. Find eager-to-work young adult candidates today!

Global ATM industry market size to reach $21.9 billion by 2020

$

0

HOLLY SPRINGS, NC – 25 Mar, 2017 – The global ATM market is expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 7.6 percent to reach nearly $22 billion by 2020, as people’s appetite for cash is expected to remain strong in major Asian economies of China and India, according to a latest report published by procurement intelligence firm Beroe Inc.

The global ATM industry market size was around $15.2 billion in 2015. APAC is the fastest growing market in the industry with India and China leading in terms of the number of deployments.

The U.S. and Europe are considered to be major mature markets for the ATM industry. As for the LAMEA region, there is a vacuum in the supply landscape as there is no strong presence of major global players, which could pose a challenge to procurement managers. Besides charting out engagement models and looking for industry best practices, sourcing managers in charge of procuring ATM-related services need to maintain a list of service providers (i.e., suppliers) across various regions along with their capability matrix, the report shows.

Holly Springs, North Carolina-based Beroe said the report can be accessed by procurement professionals on its recently launched on-demand market intelligence platform Beroe LiVE: https://live.beroeinc.com/

Key findings from the report:

• Until 2020, APAC is expected to be the fastest growing region with an annual growth rate of 10.6 percent
• There is an increasing rate of technological adoption visible among the developing geographies
• Emerging geographies such as India, China and Brazil are witnessing rapid growth in the deployment of ATMs. Therefore the rate of adoption of outsourced ATM services is also high
• Deployment of low-cost ATMs and cheaper IP-based communication by IADs pushes initial investment costs down
• Buyer power is medium to high due to high competition primarily based on pricing among the suppliers
• Buyers looking for a turnkey engagement will have medium buying power, as there are fewer suppliers capable of offering end-to-end services
• Turnkey contracts are preferred by large buyers to leverage on the volumes-based benefits

Beroe has conducted a market study to unravel the current scenario and future prospects for the ATM industry. The study has been done based on key technology trends, market outlook, and engagement and pricing models. The extensive research methodology for the study included:

○ Inputs from industry experts with at least 20 years of experience
○ Category-specific licensed subscriptions
○ Personnel involved in various stages of the value chain (buyers, suppliers, intermediaries)

For buyers, there is great potential in high maturity markets such as the U.S., Canada and the UK where there are established service providers offering end-to-end ATM services for more than two contract generations. With a steady growth rate, the outlook for ATM services industry looks attractive for all the stakeholders. This is evident from the spate of mergers and acquisitions happening in the industry with suppliers competing to improve their service capabilities to attract big players. The LAMEA region, however, seems to be only weak spot for suppliers as footprint of large players is low in this region.

The outsourcing element has also fueled the growth of the industry as ATM services are increasingly being outsourced with buyers realizing the potential cost benefits. Technology has also become a key factor in improving the competition as customers are largely drawn by convenience and technical features that improve the safety of their transactions.  This is beneficial for suppliers offering advanced features in their technology solutions to their buyers from the banking sector, the report says. 

The industry adopts various engagement models such as turnkey ATM program, bundled sourcing and in-house programs. Depending on buyer’s business network and requirements, a compatible model could be adopted. For merchants with high transaction volumes, the turnkey model is advantageous as the operations are completely handled by the service providers; the merchant being responsible only for the locations where the ATMs will be set up. Revenue sharing and fixed pricing are the two models that are mostly followed in the industry.  

The major features of the report are:

• Technological Trends
• Regional Market Outlook

LOCAL RE/MAX REALTOR GOES FULL-FLORIDA WITH A FLAMINGO-THEMED OPEN HOUSE

$
0
0

Heidi Schrock, a realtor at RE/MAX Palm Realty, based out of Port Charlotte and Venice, Florida, this week made quite the stir in the more subtle real estate arena, and took open house creativity to the next level; filling her customer’s yard with flamingos and offering door prizes to the first 20 people who showed up, while creating clever buzz with enticing quirky challenges, including: “Let’s see how many flamingos can fit inside the gorgeous home.”  To accompany the theme, the agent had flamingo marketing pieces created and posted yard signage saying “You’ve Been Schrocked,” an ingenious play on her last name.

Not afraid to rock the boat when it comes to open house presentations, Schrock pulled the sight off in a high-class neighborhood, Punta Gorda Isles, while emanating her personal wit and charm with the Florida-themed flamingo display.  Plastic flamingos are a staple joke seen more in movies and jokes then reality and definitely a things not unseen in a regulated Floridian neighborhood.  This elaborate display took shock factor to another level by unveiling a full-flamingo take-over in the quiet and reserved Punta Gorda Isles.  Schrock wasn’t hesitant to bend some rules and bring a vibrant approach that created a spectacle, turning heads and will undoubtedly be something this elegant neighborhood will talk about for years.

Schrock commented: “I’m on a mission to bring that excitement and flair of living where others vacation into to the Southwest Florida real estate market, and that starts with having a little fun,” said Schrock. “.  I like to consider our job being real estate matchmakers and I’m a do-whatever-it-takes sort of girl to help unite those pieces for my customers.  So, I got creative, rounded together a yard full of flamingos and got to work.”

To drum up anticipation for the big open house display, Schrock posted flamingo facts throughout the week on her social profiles, right up until the big day: March 17, 2017.

“This won’t be the end of my open house antics – I’m thinking a costume would be appropriate next time around to get views on listings,” said Schrock.

Fellow realtors at RE/MAX Palm Realty colleagues suspect Schrock is going to buy a costume that is undoubtedly pink – perhaps a pink panther costume for her next debut of Schrock Shock in real estate.  Stay tuned to this little lady, I’m sure we won’t be seeing the last of her in real estate revolutions.

Algae Dynamics Corp revised Business Strategy to include Product Development using Other Botanicals such as Cannabis and Hemp

TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA – 30 Mar, 2017 –

ALGAE DYNAMICS CORP (OTCQB: ADYNF) (the “Company” or “ADC”), a development stage company previously focused solely on commercialization of its proprietary BiloSilo™ system for the cultivation of highly-pure algae biomass, today announced a formal re-alignment of its business focus and strategy.

The Company had previously announced, in December 2016, that it was considering ways to capitalize on synergies between its focus on algae cultivation and algae oil extraction, and oil extractions from other botanicals such as cannabis and hemp. The result of these efforts is a new strategy to develop unique health and nutraceutical products utilizing cannabis, hemp and algae oils. Management believes that this strategy engenders both an immediate product development opportunity leading to near-term revenue and a longer-term vertically-integrated sustainable enterprise approach.

The revised strategy resulted in a seven-step program for 2017 aimed at rapid implementation of this strategy, as follows:

1. Research Agreement with University of Waterloo to investigate the use of cannabis oil in the context cancer – $600,000, three-year program (signed February 24, 2017).

2. Research Agreement with University of Western Ontario to investigate the use of cannabis derivatives for the development of novel pharmacotherapies for mental health – C$1,000,000, four-year program (signed March 13, 2017).

3. Collaboration Agreement with ARA – Avanti Rx Analytics, a company approved by Health Canada, to extract, purify, manufacture, sell, import/export medical marihuana products (signed March 15, 2017).

4. Sign supply agreements with cannabis producers, licensed by Health Canada.

5. Select location suitable for future cannabis production.

6. Apply to Health Canada for licence to produce, sell, import/export medical cannabis.

7. Develop collaboration opportunity with pharmaceutical company.

Paul Ramsay, Chairman and President of the Company said, “We believe this revised corporate strategy will allow us to build value for all stakeholders over both the near and longer terms. In the short-term we are fast-tracking to revenue growth. In the longer term, we believe we have a sustainable enterprise-building opportunity in a rapidly expanding market.”

About Algae Dynamics Corp

ADC is currently engaged in the development of unique health products and pharmaceuticals that utilize hemp, cannabis and algae oils. This is an extension of our plan to commercialize our proprietary BioSilo(R) algae cultivation system for the high volume, low cost production of pure contaminant-free algae biomass which is high in Omega-3 fatty acids. We have engaged two Canadian universities to provide research into the use of extracts from cannabis oil, which we plan to use to develop products that combine the significant health benefits of Omega-3s derived from algae oil and extracts from cannabis oil. Our research is focusing on the use of cannabis oil in the context of cancer, and the use of cannabis derivatives for the development of novel pharmacotherapies for mental health.

SINGAPORE – 3 Apr, 2017 – Alliance FX Capital, Ltd. (AFXC) has hit new highs as it fully met its targets for the 2016 financial year, and believes it is ideally positioned to take advantage of new market opportunities.

Thanks to the long awaited acquisition of Indonesian natural resources company, QuantrafaxRE, Inc. (a specialist in managing mineral mining, palm oil and lumber growing and harvesting properties), Alliance FX Capital now has a big leg-up in our drive for further penetration of the cash commodities markets and raw materials exporting opportunities in South East Asia.

Excluding the cost of the acquisition of QuantrafaxRE, Inc. the financial results for AFXC’s order intake, revenue, adjusted EBIT, adjusted margin, and net income reached unprecedented levels over 2015.

The profitability of Alliance FX Capital group rose to 9.9 percent. Free cash flow reached EUR59 million, a figure at the upper end of our outlook range, as the company met all essential financial matrices.

In its outlook for 2017, AFXC expects further profitable growth in all of its core segments, Small Cap Equities, Corporate and Government Credits. Currencies and cash delivery Raw Materials.

The Executive Board and Supervisory Board of AFXC will propose a dividend increase by late summer 2017 at the Annual General Meeting in line with the Company’s dividend policy.

CEO Roth: “The 2016 results provide an excellent basis for a new era”

“Our very good results in 2016 form an excellent base for a new era given our recent acquisition of QuantrafaxRE, Inc.” said the Chief Executive Officer., Gordon Roth. Gordon continued, ‘”We have already made a great deal of progress in the integration of the new company since the acquisition was completed last November,” he stressed. “The key objective this year will be to continue pushing ahead with this task so we can take full advantage of the opportunities in the rapidly growing cash commodities market and for our trading products and equity offerings in 2017. At the same time we will continue to benefit from the strong market growth in our core business of Small Capital Equities with Private Placements, Pre-IPOs and market syndicated Initial Public Offerings (IPOs).

With the QuantrafaxRE results for the last two months of 2016 included, the total value of market orders trading intake grew by 11.8 percent. Revenue increased by 9.6 percent. Adjusted EBIT advanced by 11.3 percent and Net income rose to EUR46.1 million, an increase of 11.3 percent. 

Sustained growth for AFXC is expected in our core markets of South East Asia and Australia.

The AFXC underwriting group’s new small cap offerings rose by 7.5 percent in 2016, mainly thanks to the sustained growth in the public and private offerings coming from the UK, China and Australia.

Customer acquisition has shown particular strength in Australia, Western Europe, and now, due to positive investor trends in China, we have exceeded those expectations The Underwriting Group was thus able to take full advantage of the growth in the global market, which also expanded by 7.5 percent in 2016.

The number of IPO stock buy orders worldwide was just under 183,000 with our small cap stock issuance at 47 total offerings; beating any previous year. The Trading Group was able to benefit from the increase in currency trading interest worldwide. New small cap offerings growth in the local Asian markets catapulted us to the forefront of Emerging Market issuers which already account for more than 35% percent of our total order intake.

There were major projects for new stock issuance customers, including new corporate finance deals in Europe. North America accounted for a surprising year over year increase in these activities. South East Asia and Australia still remain our central core growth drivers.

The AFXC Trading Group, for the first time, reports our results following our new market segmentation strategy. In addition to Trading, our Corporate Services segment, which comprises holding companies and other service companies that provide services such as transaction efficiencies, securities tracking, IT consulting and HR logistics showed strong results across all segments.

NEHEMIAH DOUGLASS OF VISION TRADING NETWORK CHALLENGES TIMOTHY SYKES TO A “TRADE-OFF” VIA TWITTER

Nehemiah Douglass, co-founder and owner of the Vision Trading Network, a company that provides comprehensive and valuable Forex education and training to individuals around the world, this week challenged a well-known penny stock trader and mentor, Timothy Sykes, to a trade-off after Sykes cracked an April Fools joke hitting on the ineffectiveness of Forex trading.

Tweeting out what was an obvious April Fools joke, stating that he was giving up on stocks and moving on to Forex as a fallback due to Forex traders lack of general success, Sykes kicked off a “trade-off” response from Douglass, which has yet to garner a response from Sykes.

“It’s time for Sykes to put money where his mouth is and accept my trade-off challenge for proving the value and profitability of Forex trading,” said Douglass. “The details of the competition require us both to place the amount of $10,000 in a new trading account and trade against one another in the markets for 30 full trading days. Whoever has the largest balance by the end of the 30 days will take all.”

Though Sykes has yet to respond to the request, he did tweet back two separate tweets regarding his credentials and validity.

Douglass brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table with Vision Trading Network. As a Forex education company with over 400 students from around the world, Vision Trading Network was founded by Nehemiah Douglass and Cottrell Phillip in late 2015. Since the company launch, the two mentors have worked together to help dozens of students achieve 5, 6, and now up to 7-figure testimonials within the Forex market.

“After a stint in the financial sector, in mid-2015, I connected with Cottrell online where we began to collaborate and learn about each other’s interest in trading,” said Douglass. “Since I live in California and Cottrell lives in Canada, we used Skype to explore starting our own Forex training company, which has since blossomed into an international operation today.”

Douglass and Cottrell have been featured on the Brian Tracy show as well as segments on FOX, ABC, NBC, and CBS. Recently, the two appeared on the Wall Street Business Radio in Atlanta. Douglass also commented he has recently been approached to appear in the April 2017 issue of Forbes Magazine.

Passionate about his Forex education and training company, Douglass is hoping to have the opportunity to demonstrate the viability and profitability of the Forex industry in a one-on-one challenge with Sykes.
