GlobalCrossroadsCapital.com demystifies financial Trading Platforms

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 6, 2009 -- First of all, the largest known trading platform in the world is the Euroclear, which provides bond, equity, fund and derivative transactions.

Some of the most common trades on platforms include;
(a) collateralized enhancement instruments (like BG's/CMO's/MTN's/SBLC's/CD's/Bonds)
(b) foreign exchange currencies (like film finance FOREX)
(c) asset-backed 144A registered bond offerings

Filing 144A's require an underwriter which can easily cost over $200K and must be sold thru licensed broker dealers and have both CUSIP's & ISIN's (sort of like serial numbers). Minimum amounts for 144's are $100M and up and thus orientated toward institutional investors.

One example of a trading platform was formed by investment banking firm Bear Stearns in 2007. It had only 1 listing by invoice factor J.G. Wentworth; before being bought out by the "Oracle of Omaha" Warren Buffett in a 2008 fire sale. 144's are more advantageous to be filed on the Boerse Exchange rather that US markets due to filing cost savings plus access to international equity markets.

A film hedge fund orientated to day traders betting on box office returns is awaiting regulatory approval to be on the Hollywood Stock Exchange.

So the next time someone mentions they have a "trading platform'; but can't mention who their broker-dealer or underwriter is and doesn't have a CUSIP or ISIN, what they really offer is for you to pay for their filing cost of forming a trading platform.

Securities-licensed investment bankers, underwriters, FOREX, invoice factoring, hedge funds & note buyers are a few of the "Deal Direct" choices you have when you go to the FREE-access Trade Show Floor on Globalcrossroadscapital.com. We also facilitate the monetizing of financial instruments for clients as well.
