    Stock2Me Podcast featuring Seth Farbman, Chairman of VStock Transfer

    Stock2Me’s latest podcast features an insightful discussion with Seth Farbman, Chairman and President of VStock Transfer, a stock transfer firm serving private companies, IPOs and issuers listed on the NYSE American, NASDAQ and OTC Markets.  Farbman began the discussion by explaining the unique ways that VStock Transfer supports companies during the IPO journey, as well as providing some tips to companies preparing to list.  “VStock Transfer is unique, because we can do as much handholding or as little handholding as necessary. There's this misconception that, when a company is going public, the CEO has it all figured out. What I find is that, while they may be fantastic at running their company, the business of being a public company is an entirely different full-time job. That’s why we like to educate people about what's required.”  “When going public, companies need to do a great job communicating with the shareholders and managing their expectations… It behooves a company to provide the shareholder base with the right updates, teach them how to transfer the shares electronically to their brokerage accounts or gift them to others, etc. In order to be successful, you've got to be consistent in your messaging. That's something that, in today's world, is expected.” He also discussed current trends in the IPO market.  “If I had to pinpoint a specific trend, I would say that, over the last six to nine months, we have seen a tremendous amount of interest from foreign issuers – companies in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. There's been a lot of late night and early morning Zoom conferences to speak to these teams. Looking to 2025, I think there's going to be an increased wave of foreign issuers looking to list on Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange, to tell their stories to the world.”  Additionally, Seth highlighted how Sharemedia is addressing challenges in the investor communications space while sharing his personal business philosophies.  Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website, applicable to all content provided by IBN wherever published or re-published: http://ibn.fm/Disclaimer

    Stock2Me Podcast featuring Chris King, Senior VP of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group

    Stock2Me’s latest podcast features an insightful discussion with Chris King, Senior VP of Corporate Services at OTC Markets Group (OTCQX: OTCM), the largest U.S. stock market for international companies. King began the discussion by providing an overview of OTC Markets Group and its mission to facilitate access to U.S. capital markets for non-U.S. issuers.  “Of the 12,000+ securities that trade on our market, more than 90% of the order flow and the trading occurs in companies that are listed outside of the U.S.,” he explained. “We have had more than $400 billion of volume traded this year, and the total market cap of our markets is in excess of $27 trillion. Of course, there are thousands of smaller micro-cap companies, but there are also some of the world's best-in-class businesses.”  King continued by highlighting the differences between OTC Markets Group and traditional stock exchanges, such as Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange.  “As we're focusing today on the international side, for the international issuer, there's a huge difference between the OTC Markets Group and traditional stock exchanges like Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange. When companies list with those exchanges, they take on SEC filing, which is, of course, just a form of disclosure, but it is completely different from the one that they would be responsible for on their home exchange, wherever that might be.”  He also elaborated on the streamlined process available to companies using OTC Markets Group’s premium markets.  “When you think about joining our premium markets, you can do so by way of an SEC rule, which is Rule 12g3-2(b). It's an exemption for taking on additional filing, meaning you can rely on your home market disclosure. It's an extremely simplified way to get compliance with U.S. securities laws and be freely tradable on our OTCQX and OTCQB markets. The U.S. exchange model is duplication of effort, duplication of disclosure, and essentially millions of dollars to comply. With OTC Markets, you can be fully traded by retail and institutional investors and everything in between, but there's a vastly different cost and complexity.”  Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and The Stock2Me Podcast’s latest guest as they delve deeper into the advantages of the OTCQB Venture Market and OTCQX Best Market for international companies, particularly those based in Canada.  Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the InvestorBrandNetwork website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: http://IBN.fm/Disclaimer

    Stock2Me Podcast featuring Mike Larson, Editor-in-Chief at MoneyShow

    Stock2Me’s latest podcast features Mike Larson, Editor-in-Chief at MoneyShow, a premier financial education platform that connects investors, traders, and financial experts through conferences, webinars, and insightful content. To begin the interview, Larson provided an introduction to MoneyShow.  “MoneyShow has been around for just over 43 years now. We’ve got a long history of running live and, more recently, online conferences, all over the country. Our goal is to connect experts in the financial markets,” he said. “Our experts include strategists, money managers, analysts, newsletter editors, and almost anybody who has a time-tested and well-established track record for being able to provide investing and trading guidance. We connect those individuals with attendees at our conferences.”  “The goal is to put them all together and provide an opportunity to learn from the experts over the span of two or three days. Attendees get to ask the experts questions, listen to their insights, hear their recommendations, and basically take home things that they can put to work in their own portfolios… I joined MoneyShow a couple years ago now, but I have been presenting at MoneyShow with my former employer going all the way back to 2005. I've seen what MoneyShow has done and accomplished over the years for my subscribers at my former company, and now, being on board with MoneyShow, it's a natural fit.”  “I love to have the interaction with attendees, getting to talk about market trends, and essentially give people actionable information that they can use in their portfolio to grow and protect their wealth… We're in Orlando coming up October 17-19 for the MoneyShow Traders Expo Orlando. We’re going to have everything from keynotes and panels to the exhibit hall, where you can go test products and services and watch live trading demonstrations. It comes about three weeks before the presidential election. Regardless of who wins, attendees will learn how to adjust their portfolios to either maximize profits under the new administration or protect themselves from some of the issues that might come up. In our opinion, it’s a very well-timed event.” Join IBN’s Jonathan Keim and The Stock2Me Podcast’s latest guest to learn more about the market trends investors should be monitoring in the final quarter of 2024, as well as the most common mistakes made by traders and how to avoid them.  To register for the upcoming event, visit: https://ibn.fm/Vyqio

We're trying to share with the community how much commercial adoption there is with quantum computing and how businesses have been successful building business value using quantum computing technology. We're also sharing our latest product innovations, because attendees are really curious to see the rapid pace of change with quantum computing and what's possible there.” “I'm really excited about the presentation from Carleton Coffrin. He's going to be presenting from Los Alamos National Laboratory about new quantum materials discovery using our quantum computing systems… We're also going to be seeing some demos from Alex Condello, who is leading our applications performance and tools team. He's going to be talking about some of our latest hybrid solver technology and how that's making it easier for people to solve business problems at larger scale and get high quality value.” Please see full terms of use and disclaimers on the IBN website applicable to all content provided by IBN, wherever published or re-published: https://IBN.fm/Disclaimer
