Re: A potential Money Maker if Arb is interested...
Thank god is all i can say.....please save us from the Lindens, Chango! I will fix you a bowl of corn pops if you do.

I stopped using both On Rez and SLX immediately when I got the news. I just hope Apez doesn't sell out too.

Hello....from the nose bleeds
Stopping by to see what was going on....I have not forgotten anyone or anything. Had jumped back into land again but now I have a bit of L wrapped up in this Apez business. Good to see the exchange still running and such.

Feasibility
Greetings,

Yes, I know, long time no see this name but I have a couple of general questions for those in the financial community. I have been following CapEx, albeit from the shadows and I have my own ventures going on but something caught my eye recently that I had questions on. I see the IPO of VHEA and just wondered about the viability of it. Not the company itself but the service. The reason I ask is because I run a RL Employment Agency that I opened offices for in SL a few weeks ago and I am curious what the market thinks the viability of RL placements via an SL channel would be versus, SL placements. Just mulling around ideas. Any feedback is appreciated.

Re: Feasibility
Scott,

The use of Skype was not something I had considered. We are heavily staked in the social networking via LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook and that has been the main outlets followed by phone conversations but Skype makes much more sense for SL interaction.

Now, I'm interested in inworld aptitude testing. I have been writing a typing test script but to have some sort of aptitude module in world would be innovative to say the least.

Have you ever seen the information offered by ReadyForce? The CEO of my funding company told me about that company. They seem to do virtual hiring but I'm not sure if they do it through a virtual portal.

Great information, Scott. Thanks!

Skip,

Thanks for the information. I have been around for VHEA's tenure and the way they do business is sound but my focus would not be SL employment but facilitating RL employment through SL. There are hundreds of jobs in SL and there is always someone to fill them but turnover is an issue with that in which I would rather not deal with. I am looking at bringing the core of my business in world at the moment to see how sourcing candidates would work virtually.

Re: Question About Other Grids
Having tried this in the past with L&L Bank and Trust, I wouldn't advise it. Other grids may be growing but he growth is not exponential enough to justify the expense it would take to write conversion code and different things you would need on the web side of things. I would say, if a company is interested in listing to have them open a branch on the SL grid. It would help them long term anyway as a funnel back into their grid, if they convert L to their currency. I tried this with There and Utherverse and it turned out to be a conversion nightmare because the rates were way different and I ended up losing money in the end.

Re: Question About Other Grids
The biggest downside is the conversion to be honest. We don't want to flood our market with their currency and they don't have the stability to make the market viable. The only grid I would look into at this point would be Utherverse. They have been around almost as long as SL with a large following and the Ray trades better than the Linden right now.

Some of the SL-based grids, in my opinion, are just copies of the real thing and have no long term sustainability past a few years unless they create something tremendously innovative to draw a crowd. If one of those grids is on impending doom, and we don't know until it all falls down, we could be stuck with their currency and no way to recoup. I think the financial sector has seen enough loss with the WTFs and such.

I believe the reason that was put into place was because there were CEOs that would dump shares on the market, sell them all and abandon the company. Their stake in it didn't matter because by the end of things, there was no business left anyway because they just hand it off to the majority shareholder, who....most likely has a completely different vision and all the other shareholders get screwed even more. The holding of 50% also prevents an outward party buying up the company to get claim on majority vote with no real notion of what the business was intending to be in the first place.

Keep in mind that the DMCA can protect a CEO from having to give up his or her company as their creations are their IP. Doesn't matter who owns majority of anything. If the person wants to stake their claim, they have all right to do that since there is no governing body for virtual stock exchanges. I would hate for someone who lacks the vision of my business to own more of it than I because that would make for a horrible business venture. I don't think it should be a rule, but it does have a place.

On the other hand, the 80% rule seems to be something just to keep a company trading.

Bottom line, every one who is a majority shareholder doesn't necessarily know how to run a business. They just have deep pockets. Let the CEO retain majority share.

Re: Question About Other Grids
Agreed. Their business will affect the viability of other grids and could create a Ginko all over again.

And more to come on that William. Thanks for the welcome.
