The first improvement you will see is that the home page will not only be showing you today's volume but a history of market volume, the last 30 days, 60 days and so on.

Also, I have asked the programmer to look into extending the "order book" as suggested in the forums in the last few weeks.

If there is anything else that you want that will help increase our market volume please just ask.

<![CDATA[ People toying with the buy and sell orders display screen]]> http://slcapex.com/forums/topic/suggest/2885
one thing that as of late has really started to annoy me, is the buy and sell order display screen. As it only displays the top 10 orders it has become rather easy for folks to manipulate with it and artificially raise or lower the sell price for stocks. In this sense the ISE format works better, as you can see for example at which price a serious buy offer stands. The format here is ok as well, but maybe an option could be added, that if you want, you can open a screen where all active buy and sell orders are displayed? I know you guys have this open so to say behind the scenes, so it shouldn't be so hard to make it public either.

<![CDATA[ (more data) Total L$ amount traded]]> http://slcapex.com/forums/topic/suggest/2821
As i can see, this data is already internally available. For example the graph at the mainpage shows each stocks volulme in L$ rather than shares. However data shown in stock history (both on-site) and the downloadable CSV lacks this data. Because of this we're forced to guess.

My suggestion is, simply put: Add a column @ the stock history page called "Volume L$", this way people can view the actual trade record (essential when either calculating their recent value, or when estimating future value).

I would appreciate and hope this can be implemented relatively shortly.

Basic RL example in Portland is the Antiques District. There are upwards of 10 antiques dealers in a fairly small neighborhood, but because they are all in vicinity it attracts large amounts of people wanting to see large amounts of antiques in a small amount of time. All of the dealers have slightly different product offerings and price points, so they are never directly competiting but improving the overall availability of that kind of good in the area.

That's my thoughts on it Alain. :)

I have been told that the problem is that I have cookies set off.

Maybe this is so ... I don't really know.

However, I access and trade stocks in the two other SL stock exchanges without a problem. So, why should it be a problem for this " stock exchange " ?

Also, the " ATM instructions note card " does not say anything about cookies.

One of the issues that arrises when discussing Alts and linkage is that verification of the ownership is impossible.

As we are all aware we are not Linden Labs and CapEx does not have access to account information and for the safety and security of all of our financial interests here it would be better to play it safe on this subject and not link them together.

Anyone disagree?

I would argue that slcapex can't afford not to invest into it ;)

As far as brokerage, it is indeed interesting but why not do it without the exchanges involvement ? Just setup your own ATM, and pay not-guaranteed indirect dividends if you make a profit on your stock trading. (except if Nicholas is your customer then you just tell him, oh we failed, and then relist his investment at WSE he'll sure understand while everybody else would receive it without ginko BS :P)

Nicholas, if you're reading this, and i'm sure you are, "the james theory" makes by far more sense than your "credit conspiracy theories".

Cayman's idea about brokerages is very interesting to me, and tho it'd take a fair amount of setup, may be worth the time and money involved. The devil is in the details of course, and that's what I'd like to learn about before implementing such a program.

<![CDATA[ (sub)accounts linkage?]]> http://slcapex.com/forums/topic/suggest/2596
Now I know that one can make Sub Accounts other than one's Main account on the website, but how difficult would it be to set it up in such a way that one could make a Sub Account for a different SL name so they could (after verification) both add and/or remove funds from said sub account as they please?

This would keep the portfolio relatively centered around the main account with the sub accounts 'governed' through in-game interactions by the sub accounts when needed.

Has this been explored/brought up before, then I'm very sorry to bring it up again, but it seems like something that could be useful to many. Including myself.

Yeah, taking us a bit longer than we'd hoped to get SL CapEx back on firm footing - I think we're getting there slowly but surely. Regarding your wish list; here's a quick status (more to follow within the next week or two).

(1) Affiliate-Broker Program to be RELAUNCHED "Sooooon". Chango and Cash have been working on some programmatic and Administrative requirements since before Thanksgiving... I'm hoping we'll be ready for LAUNCH by late January if not sooner.

(2) Advertising; while we agree that getting NEW Investors on board is IMPORTANT we need to get the POLICY and CORP STRUCTURAL stuff done FIRST so that those that DO COME will STAY... an update on THAT STUFF is coming in the next week.

(3) IPO's, etc.; Some of that speaks to the Policy stuff I've been working on for MONTHS. I hope that you've noticed that almost all of our recent IPO's have indeed been PRODUCT-based companies (versus Estate Managers or Investment Co's). While we agree that ALL THREE business categories are necessary for a balanced market honestly we can only underwrite what's presented (and we're still rejecting 8 out of 10).

I hope they will participate and offer their realistic appraisal of the suggestions.

I'll start the ball rolling:

1. Introduce a Broker system, incentives should be made for "serious traders" to make some extra L$ through a Broker system. It would be in these Brokers interests to attract new investors, which would benefit all. They will no doubt act as market makers for some of the companies, this being an attractive proposition for Capex who currently encourage CEO's to fill this void with company funds. This suggestion was mooted many many months ago but for some reason the debate fell silent.

2. See consistent Capex marketing/advertising to attract new investors. This seems to have been absent for the whole of 2008, maybe because of Arb's embarrassment with the SLW fiasco. This marketing can be in a variety of forms but doesn't need to be that expensive, just management with ideas.

3. Introduction of companies to IPO who already have a SL business presence and to banish for ever IPO start ups, why should our funds be used as an experiment. Llet the CEO prove a concept apply elsewhere for VC if required and then apply for an IPO when they have delivered and require expansion.

Regards,

Cayman

At this point, I have to say that I do agree with you. Despite some chest thumping from one of the 4 SL exchanges around (and I'm excluding the WSE, since it's no longer a "pure" SL exchange) the situation has dramatically changed since the last year.

Less and less shareholders getting involved into the many things springing up. Meetings going more and more deserted.

Earlier today I performed some Google searches as I routinely do and I found out that some articles dealing with SL finances are no longer available because the source website does not exist anymore. This is true for both Italian and English speaking sources.

And if you look at the news sources still around, the coverage they give to SL finances has dwindled down. I could mention a few things which got no attention at all. And I think they deserved it.

There is the hype (sort of) about the WSE, "don't go there". There are some talks about exchanges cooperating. Facts, just a few. Almost none. We started something with SL CapEx, but it's not enough. We can't get a good grip on ISE in order to do something similar. ACE? There is an ocean between us and we're not comfortable at all with some of their recent actions.

We shall see...

Looking at companies, you see willing acceptance of big promises that hardly seem feasible. When it all hits the fan, you see five or six people jumping into rant, flame, post clever insults, and generally derail any serious inquiries or resolutions. I've always felt that exchanges were promising virtual platforms. And I think given the right crowd they might be - one day.

As a writer, I've had people come to me asking me to investigate an issue that anyone could research. It basically comes down to people wanting me to do their research for them. I've been asking myself if the virtual exchanges are appealing to people who want to make unrealistic amounts of money by investing in infeasible promises because they simply can't be bothered to formulate a plan to make their money work for them in a more conventional manner. Exchanges are a great platform for learning. And MAYBE making a couple of dollars. But the risks are great.

Overall, I'm inclined to think that the first step is shareholders taking their "gaming" seriously. Not sure if people have acquiesced or it was always thus. But it's not the kind of behavior I like to be associated with.


Bearing that, I can only say: Cross your fingers, Sam. People may surprise us yet ;)

"To what extent should exchanges be working with shareholders to pursue remedies beyond delistment/liquidation? If any."

Let's see what happened at the VSTEX over the last year.

We started our public operations on August 7, 2007. On August 26 we got a whopping amount of 6 companies as a result of a transfer from the competition:

AVC - Atlas Venture Capital
CGI - Countless Galaxies
BHE - Bart Heart Estates
VHI - Valentine Heart Inc.
KFM - Kristatos Fashion Mall
SLC - SL Creations (a merge of MDS - BOB - SLZ)

See: http://www.vstex.net/?p=103&id=2

AVC, CGI and KFM did not last long, since on September 14, 2007 a temporary halt was issued.

The options? There were no assets under our control, except for a few dimes here and there. A delistment was due, those companies could no longer keep trading with Jasper Tizzy and Teanna Nomura gone with the assets.

Liquidation was not an option, since assets were gone. At that time, we felt like the best option was to try and look around for people willing to take over those "public shells".

Basically the deal was "You take a company with no assets, you get to be listed on our exchange". In our eyes. that was a sensible move. Before we got to realize that we had opened a "canning" of monkeys... er... worms, we used that method again.

Time passed and we had to deal with CEOs disappearing from the scene, leaving behind them some assets. Not much, but something at least.

So, we still kept searching for someone to take over, but we imposed a forceful buyback on the new CEO, at a value equal to the liquidation value, or at least fair enough for shareholders wanting out (SLC, QCL).

This method will still be used for BNF, due to prior contacts and agreements, but we came to the conclusion that it may be not the best option, in the long run.

That's why DMG and DFC have gone through forceful liquidation after being delisted and that's why we changed our rules introducing the concept of "public shells". Now, for every delisted company we'll split any asset under our control to legitimate shareholders.

Could we do better than this? Sure. We'll try to reach agreements with SL CAPEX and ISE, in order to have assets of delisted VSTEX issuers seized, for later distribution to legitimate shareholders.

Beyond that, I fail to see what else we could do, but I'm open to suggestions.

Now we're really offtopic! :)

At the beginning of this thread, Bogart Beck stated:

"Feel free to moderate as you feel moved - I'll jump in when/if I feel compelled to take a position"

In keeping with that, Konner McDonnell previously wrote:

"Since this door was opened[by Samantha Goldflake], I think it's necessary for us to take a step back and look at the bigger picture before we start narrowing that focus."

So, we're not offtopic. We are right where we should be. Anything involving the limitations of allowing a CEO to do anything -or- limitations imposed upon those CEOs will always return to "how much can we conceivably do to enforce those limitations?"

The various rules and underwriting processes may serve to keep the riff-raff from opening shop on the three exchanges you mentioned. Once you turn them down, they'll simply go to Ancapex. The WSE is open now. And Luke has an SPO for the WSE (since the WSE is owned by HCL, how this is even possible, I don't know. There certainly wasn't a first public offering) and I suspect once he's squeezed every dime he can out of his "SPO" then he'll start letting other companies trade there. Both follow the logic of "Anyone can list, so long as I gets mine." Ancapex may be liberal, but I highly doubt they'd consort with the WSE. Nor would any of the other three. So a true council won't happen. Not that it'd be fix.

Let me put this crudely. Any company that gets past your underwriting processes has to 'woo' investors. Once they've successfully courted those investors, they're in the position to slip off in the night while those investors are still sleeping without so much as a "Dear John Letter." There's a few CEOs that aren't going to necessarily run away, but are simply lazy, inept, or apathetic towards the needs of their shareholders.

Now the exchanges would probably say: "shareholders need to riot." Such as with MNM. But the most cogent of arguments and persuasive of speeches are in no more a position to compel executive response than an all-out rant. Companies are listed at the pleasure of the exchanges. Shareholders are attended to at the pleasure of the CEOs.

Leaving the RL legal arguments aside, my question is simply: To what extent should exchanges be working with shareholders to pursue remedies beyond delistment/liquidation? If any. I think that's the question that must be answered before shareholders can even consider "how far is too far" in the privatization matter and all other matters relating to the current shareholder-CEO relationship.

Edit: I wanted to mention that there's a few questions I've previously asked that weren't addressed. I'll return to this later. Right now it's most important to consider the exchange/investor relationship.

First off (and I'm not saying it to put down the others) the VSTEX has the most extensive set of rules covering different topics and areas.

Second, we are in very good terms with SL CAPEX and ISE. We speak with Borgart Beck on an almost regular basis. With Cocky Dagger we have very rare contacts, but we do respect him and the ISE, as he respects us.

ISE seem set on a "let the market forces work it out" policy and from their forum I got the impression that the general consensus there is not to have more rules than the current ones and keep on following the current path.

Before commenting on the council you're talking about Scott, I would like to hear from SL CAPEX. Anyway, I have doubts that such a council could ever get LL to change anything in the assets area.

All of the exchanges should get together, regardless of ego's or politics involved and form a council.

Policies and Rules should be set that all exchanges follow, exchanges would be free to have additional rules and policies as they see fit.

This would eliminate the company owners who move from exchange to exchange and also offer a level of protection to shareholders who do not trade on multiple exchanges.

Once the policies and rules are in place the council of exchanges could do to Linden Labs and one voice and ask for assistance in expanding the policies and rules into the Linden Labs arena of enforceability.

Also, this would end the speculation of Linden Labs banning the exchanges and giving Linden Labs the ability to communicate freely to that organized council.

Once this is all done the Council can petition Linden Labs to create the ability for Sims, Land and other assets to be owned by a company and not just a single avatar.

This ability would help prevent or hamper CEO's from "cashing" out of SL easily and leaving shareholders out to dry.

Any thought?

We are aware that a CEO could just say "to the hell with your rules, I go private/delist/whatever", so why the many rules the VSTEX has, why we talk about "shareholders rights", "fiduciary duties" and so on?

We try to educate CEOs and management of every VSTEX issuer. We really try. A year ago it was very easy to get and keep a listing with us, now it's much harder, but that's not the point. Ethics, disclosure, sound corporate governance, are common and often used terms for us.

With some CEOs we did not have much success, but there's always hope for the future.

While the induvidual exchanges were playing their powergames with eachother about being marketleader and ignoring the cries for better regulation and transparancy
they failed to protect their investors from being ripped off again and again.

This all has been a classic example of an unregulated freemarket mechanism doing its job. The term FREEMARKET MECHACHANISM does not mean free from rules or bounderies.

The little bit of rules upto now are only there to protect the exchanges from being held responsible for failures on their behalf.

The first thing that needs to be changed is making the INVESTOR the most important factor in this game and all rules should be directed towards her/his safety and benefit, because neither the exchanges nor would any company listed or willing to list exsist without them.

DUE DILLIGENCE from the exchanges on integrity and viabillity of companies that want to be listed on their platform should be much tighter, and accept responsibillity for those who slip through their Standards set and not leave the investor bleeding for their failure on DUE DILLIGENCE.

Due dilligence from the investor is about finding out if the company is going to be profitable enough to risk investing in, and NOT about if it is to be trusted with my money. Maybe it is naive but I rely on the exchanges to select those companies who are integer, otherwise I could just as well invest privately and run the same risk without expenses on tradefees.

I can live with loosing money on stupid investment choises I make myself or not beeing savy enough to make my money work for me, but loosing money on being ripped off due to poor security measures and even worse regulation makes my blood boil, specially when they then say, it is not our job to prevent criminals from stealing your money or persue them when they do so on our exchange.

hundredthousands,if not several millions of RL dollars invested through L$ have vanished in the last years. All claimed to be invested in RL oportunities or RL companies. The fact that LL slammed down the hammer on in world scemes does not mean that the RL investments stop exsisting too now does it.

A good rule to have would be the obligation to report on the prospectus if the company has intentions to invest the IPO money soley in SL or has plans to utilise it in RL. which btw leads me to the next point, are the exchanges soley a SL investment game and meant to be played in world or are they also platforms to raise funds for RL plans ? Should SL IPO money not be restricted to the SL economy only ?

If you have RL business plans go to a bank or at least raise your venture capital in RL.

Yes I am a bit of a SL fundamentalist on this one,

keep the GAME within the borders of the SL GAMEBOARD.

"Yet, a CEO can just delist his company, or run away. What the CEO wants, he will get it either way.

The VSTEX now has specific rules about "Public shells, reverse mergers, mergers, acquisitions" (Section E of our listing rules). If you read that section, you will see a "4. RESERVED"; that's going to be used for privatizations and everything in our "Section E" will go hand in hand with Section D. "Shareholders meetings and exercise of certain rights of shareholders in listed companies".

We try to provide a solid foundation, meant to give both CEOs/company managers and shareholders an idea about how things should be."

In my previous writings, I've called attention to the CEOs absolute power. In writing this inquiry, I took what you've mentioned syllogistically. But since you opened the door, I think a discussion on the topic of privatization -or any other issue that wholly depends on the CEO's willingess to comply- is predicated by undeniable fact of absolute power.

So let's start there.

The exchanges have varying rules. But aren't the exchange's rules merely self-protective? While we all willingly admit to the fact that CEOs do have absolute power, does the implementation of 'rules' and the establishment of 'committees' such as the SLEC only really serve to provide the illusion of legitimacy when neither can regulate the companies themselves? Further, while we accept this absolute power, we also use terms like 'fiduciary relationship" between CEOs and shareholders. Finally and I suppose most importantly, are the exchanges not the gateway by which CEOs obtain their absolute power? To what extent should the exchanges burden themselves with seeking enforceable remedies to ensure the aforementioned 'fiduciary relationship' is honored?

Since this door was opened, I think it's necessary for us to take a step back and look at the bigger picture before we start narrowing that focus. But let's not lose sight of the broader picture. The implications apply to all exchanges, regardless of their countries of origin, disposition of their administrators, or any other factors that might separate any single exchange from its contemporaries.
