Pre IPO Investments – IPO Investing – Getting Access To Great Deals
For investors, that once in a life time opportunity is always out there happening for someone else. There is always a story about a guy that got in on an IPO for a software company that turned him into an overnight millionaire or that next big bio-tech IPO for a company that has the closest thing to a cure for Alzheimer’s that the industry has ever seen, they did a small pre IPO raise and then closed out the offering and now there are talks of a buyout, again overnight millionaires will be made.

Economic Debauchery, The Political Profiteer And The Devastation Of The Masses For The Profit Of The Institutional Few
Yep! Quite a mouthful but let it sink in. The self proclaimed economic elite make rules and mistake that affect all of us, there only accountability is a quick senate hearing where they are interrogated for show and afterwards have champagne and cocktails in chambers and laugh off the comments of the day and plan their future hunting events in the Congo. I don’t find it comical that our domestic economy and power position is rapidly being exchanged for that of the third world or some obscure island nation whose major export is sand and debt.

Customer Service Is History -A Sociological Case Study Tells Why
Have you ever wondered why American customer service and retail service is nothing more than a pathetic joke? Stay with me on this because I think I have finally figured this out. In life there are those that succeed and those who miss the boat. Those who miss the boat typically couldn’t perform in high school therefore couldn’t attend university and when one doesn’t attend college they typically fall deeper and further from the position they once dreamed and soon develop an alter ego to give them the ability to make it through the day without breaking into tears at every turn. This split personality is the one that stems from an inferiority complex and self-hate due to lack of ability to gain a legitimate acceptance with the ‘in’ crowd that they fantasize about. Sadly these people will go from one relationship to another, one fast food or retail job to the next and never make it in life, I have coined this the Ventresca Syndrome and you’ll find out why in a sentences.

Taking A Company Public – PR Propaganda – Investor Relations Power
I remember in college a professor said that, ‘Any publicity is good publicity’. I took that idea with me and tried to apply it early in my career and found the outcome of that concept to be disastrous for a client who was under the same misguided assumption. What university students don’t realize until it’s too late is that instructors teach because they cannot ‘do’. Continue reading
Going Public – S1 Filing – OTCBB To NADAQ
Click on the TV and you’ll see them, faces like the Joker with ceramic smiles plastered onto their face. Using the name of Jesus and romantic concepts of fighting in wars and existing at deaths door while he fought for his country is the general MO of any politician. But what happens when we enter into the endless tunnels of the rabbit hole where these Jokers exist? Among the cobwebs, rotting carcasses filth is a den where they all congregate. Kissing babies and speaking at the Rotary Club are just strokes of makeup on the faces of these right snatching villains. The reality of how unqualified these professional politicians are should scare the tar out of all of us. Of course we are having issues with our monetary system, the people who are running our government’s finance divisions have a minimal background in the subject. Of course our men and women are dying abroad in wars that we don’t need to be in, the politicians don’t understand what it’s like to lose a child because their kid is in the National Guard on Cape Cod whale watching duty. It’s a joke. Continue reading

Over The Counter Bulletin Board – Make Your Stock Price Soar
I consult in the turnaround sector with public companies on the Pinks, OTCBB, London Exchange, Frankfurt Exchange and every exchange in-between and everyone seems to have the same issue: there stock isn’t trading at the price they desire and they are dying to find a way to fix the problems that are hindering their trade. It usually comes down to a few basic elements. Use each of these elements with caution as this industry is full of predatory organizations and consultants and can be dangerous to amateurs. If you’re a newbie, that’s ok. Do what you can but know when you are in over your head and turn the remaining process over to people that swim with sharks for a living. Continue reading
Picking A Corporate CPA Or Accountant – It’s More Than Just Numbers
I was recently on a conference call with a new client and their accountant who insisted on meeting with me because he wanted to pre qualify me. After a few questions when I was setting up the call I could tell right away that this accountant was a pure amateur and was trying to look like the ‘big dog’ to his clients, being one who invites and enjoys confrontation I took on the meeting. I love negotiating and debating on topics in which I’m well versed so I knew this would be fun. Continue reading

Why Write A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) – OTCBB
Why Are You Writing A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) To Raise Capital?
