Re: Unscrupulous Limit Sell Orders

Generally Guardian, it's been our experience that folks that are pre-disposed to place extremely LOW LIMIT BUYS do so fully recognizing the inherent RISK of having BIDS sitting out there substantially below market. We've all heard the admonishments from the "profesionals" about trying to "catch a falling knife" and BUYING securities based on observations of "Panic Selling" or in advance of anticipated "Bad News". Your comments are well noted though.

Our long-term observations indicate that THIS type of investor is SUBSTANTIALLY more SAVVY and does NOT have the same general profile as someone likely to place an ad hoc MARKET BUY. My TARGET for this policy is specifically intended to help protect the innocent retail investor - it's NOT intended to prevent a SAVVY investor from earning a reasonable (or unreasonable! ;-) return on investment via "NORMAL" market forces.

As I stated previously, for the most part we agree on allowing free-market forces to prevail. In most instances our Circuit Breakers (whether folks like them or not) do help to mitigate the downside risk for those folks who can't/don't spend all day watching the ticker.

I suppose our objective is to help find that fine balance - not easy to do is it?

Thx,

Bo

Bart Heart Quote:
I do feel, we as a financial community have to help protect new members when they first join so they don't buy a stock for 6L$ and end up paying 600L$ or 6,000L$ for it. But would the first place to help this situation be in the programing of buying and selling on the website. I notice one thing about the selling of shares on CapEx is that it doesnt tell you what the commision that is coming out whne you place a sell order or the total amount you will recieve from the selling of the shares. I don't know how the buy orders are set up. But if you buy it should confirn the amount you are spennding rather then just taking it from your trading account.


========================

Bart,

Actually the system DOES give the seller an opportunity to review the Total Shares Bid & Filled, Total Sale Price, Average Price Per Share and ESTIMATED Commission on a MARKET SELL ORDER on the SAME SCREEN as the CONFIRM Button.

Unfortunately the way the system was initially written such logic doesn't actually Calculate until EXECUTION of a LIMIT SELL. Go figure...

Don't shoot me - I didn't code it ;-) I suppose we could add that FEATURE to the ever growing list of things we'd like to change for "version 4.0"... we just need to find a free six months to shut down to implement them all. ROTFL.

Regards,

Re: Is it really a role playing game?

Heya Delish,

It's been a very VERY long time since we've chatted. Regardless, I do read your posts and your success as an SL Entrepreneur is legendary. As such I've spent a good deal of time this holiday weekend thinking about your comments before I sat down to write this response.

I recognize that there is a whole slew of folks who vehemently disagree with our position that the SL Capital Exchange trading system is simply a game or perhaps more correctly a serious simulation operating within a "Toy Economy". There have been reams of pages written over the last 18 months by persons more notorious than I defending either one position or another, nonetheless, here's my thoughts on the subject in no particular order;

Foremost, in designing and deploying ANY online system (SL or otherwise, game, simulation or otherwise) one must first consider the potential legal and regulatory framework and boundaries that such system must operate within. Were we to ever consider offering a system that contemplated or represented any form of bona fide "Investment Opportunity", at least in the US specifically there are burdens and standards of conduct dictated by a boatload of agencies including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the US Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Internet Gaming Act, various state agencies (Corporate Commissions and Taxing Authorities, etc.) as well as Federal and State Statutes that dictate investigation and prosecution of claims of online Internet Crime and Fraud (FBI, et al). Even your local Post Office has a say in what you can and cannot distribute with regard to "Investment Opportunities".

Our research very early on indicated that there is NO WAY that the systems required and the vast majority of "securities" offered here or generally elsewhere within the SL Financial Community could reasonably achieve the floor thresholds for "Registration" as bona fide opportunities (even in those jurisdictions that permit circulation of "blue sky" prospectuses and capital formation).

Oh, for the record BTW, this is stricty MY Opinion and NOT a qualified legal position. PLEASE, seek your own counsel as we have if you require a fully qualified opinion.

Further, most of the current regulations surrounding corporate capital formation from third parties beyond "freinds and family" generally require that such third parties must minimally meet some very stringent criteria to achieve "accreditation" as a "qualified investor". Such criteria are generally related to a persons financial standing, Net Worth, prior risk experience, etc. Dare I speculate that VERY FEW current SL participants could likely achieve such accreditation although I'm sure there are some (and they're likely NOT participating in the SL Capital Markets in its current form).

Surely there are exceptional instances of persons within the SL Community that HAVE successfully raised legitimate Venture Capital - (Anshe, Electric Sheep, the Rezzable folks, etc.). Those folks most often represent the very best and brightest that the SL Community has to offer. Generally, most of the folks who've achieved such level of accomplishment were the very earliest adopters, corporate alum and other persons that bloggers like Prok affectionately call the FIC ;-).

But... what about the rest of us? The Johnny-come-lately's, the Butchers, Bakers and Candlestick makers that generally make their livelihoods elsewhere vocationally yet still have credible SL ideas to share with the community if even only on a part-time basis with no capitalization to speak of, no practical real-world bankable "experience" to leverage - essentially little more than the raw moxy and blind ambition to succeed?

You know these folks Delish - the starving student, the lonely or bored housewife, the socially ill-equipped, the handicapped... if I recall even you fit into this category once upon a time. Were it not for the "freinds and family" you've successfully cultivated here could DDE have achieved all that it has over the last year and a half? Me thinks not.

So... where does that leave us in this TOY ECONOMY where no willing Central Banking Authority has emerged, where very little legal or regulatory framework has been defined beyond what has haphazardly been adopted from existing case law exclusive of the peculiarities of this environment, where what was originally proferred as "Your World, Your Imagination" has morphed into "Our World, Our Rules", where even you have accurately described the typical SL "CEO" as a 20-something student operating on little more than a wing and a prayer, who's just as likely to VANISH as they are to FLOURISH here, where half the so-called "Investment Bankers" are little more than imitation robber barrons or common thieves?

How could we portray the SL Capital Markets as anything OTHER THAN A GAME? Perhaps a SERIOUS GAME at that, but still little more than a GAME OF SKILL not unlike the Video Game Tours, Prize Pool Scrabble or Monopoly tournaments, or even your local bowling league or afternoon Skins Game at the local Country Club.

Indeed! Yet, in spite of the horrid landscape within which we operate there are STILL a HANDFUL of INDIVIDUALS who get great joy in funding, mentoring, coaching and cajoling the young upstarts and old stalwarts into PERFORMING.

Yes we DO EXPECT CEO's to do as they've promised. We DO Expect them to operate with integrity (and we collectively as a community deal rather harshly, albeit often ineffectively, with those persons who DON'T). You see, that's part of the bilateral understanding that CEO's MUST have with their Investors. I can tell by your prior writings that you personally understand and have accepted that responsibility on behalf of your shareholders and customers - damn how I wish there were more folks like you here!

The other side of that symbiotic relationship is the assumption that Investors WON'T RISK MORE THAN THEY CAN AFFORD TO LOSE, will maintain reasonable expectations regarding the performance of their SL Capital Investments, and will also operate with integrity in the manner in which they execute their trading strategies. Fundamentally, we ask ALL PARTIES to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for their own actions.

We also expect respectful, reasonable and rational discourse in those instances where a business concept FAILS in spite of the best efforts of an honorable entrepreneur. Sometimes the best laid plans simply FAIL - that's simply part of the risk we all assume by playing here.

For the most part we ENJOY (go figure!) reviewing Income Statements and Balance Sheets that are more often than not totally incorrect or at least highly questionable. We enjoy performing Due Diligence on our prospecive investment candidates and all the rest as well. In short we enjoy dressing up and playing "big wig" Executive every bit as much as the lovely lasses here enjoy playing Dressy Bessy with their Avi's.

In an environment where one of the largest "SL investors" regularly shows up for Board and Shareholder Meetings dressed as Wonder Woman, where one of the most successful SL CEO's spends the majority of their time prancing about in a smoking twenty foot tall Dragon costume (sorry Mael - couldn't resist - enjoying your retirement?), where the "leading SL Exchange" goes OFF-LINE for six months at a time (and counting) how could you NOT consider this ANYTHING other than a GAME?

Now then, IN ALL SERIOUSNESS, there are MANY of us that have certainly "invested" FAR MORE than our weekly lunch money and DO HAVE (perhaps unrealistically) EXPECTATIONS for a RETURN ON INVESTMENT, however, within the context I've described above such expectaton MUST BE SECONDARY to the ENTERTAINMENT and EDUCATIONAL VALUE we aspire to here.

If you or anyone else is here principly to MAKE $ INVESTING IN SL STOCKS (I'm talking RW substantial Dollars), PULEEZ do yourself AND US a favor, take your $Lindens and go elsewhere - this is NOT the GAME for you NOR a BONA FIDE (read Registered) INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY - PERIOD - END OF STORY!

Let's talk EDUCATION for a few moments. In the year plus that I've been here I've certainly LEARNED to sniff out a SCAM from two SIMS away, I've certainly LEARNED (perhaps much slower than many would like) how to articulate and communicate with a largely irreverant audience, I've LEARNED how to TEACH basic Accounting Skills to an Oil Rigger by-day and SL CEO by night Student with an SL dream in a manner that he understood. Unfortunately I've also LEARNED that you CAN'T PLEASE MOST OF THE PEOPLE MOST OF THE TIME HERE.

I've personally watched as other folks have learned how to bake sculpties, script sophisticated objects, build absolutely incredible SIMS and beautiful whatnots NONE OF WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE if SOMEONE ELSE hadn't FUNDED their SL ENTREPRENEURISM. All the while the MAJORITY of us have been immeasurably ENTERTAINED. I mean c'mon - where else in the world can you strap on your own personal cartoon character blinged to the nines and participate first-hand in the worlds greatest three ring circus with its own 24/7 Soap Opera Drama Sideshow?! If that's not ENTERTAINMENT I don't know what is!

It seems to me (and a WHOLE BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE) that the majority of disenfranchised, dissatisfied, discontented participants in this thing called the SL Capital Markets are those people that have REFUSED to ACCEPT it for EXACTLY WHAT IT IS INTENDED TO BE - A GAME - or a serious simulation if you must.

These are the very same people that "INVESTED" $L with the PRIMARY MOTIVATION to EARN A RW RETURN ON INVESTMENT - in spite of EVERY CAVEAT EMPTOR WARNING that was and continues to be issued by EVERY SINGLE "AUTHORITY" legitimate or otherwise.

Ostensibly these same people could not "TRUST THEMSELVES" to manage their own lunch money in their own avatars but rather "needed" to deposit it in unregistered, unchartered SL Banks for "safe-keeping". Give me a break people - your motivation was GREED - pure and simple. Deal wid it!

I'm most certain that at some point, YES, RW Authorities will be forced to step in and legislate and enforce some form of Micro-Cap Investment and Banking Regulation. More likely I suspect that LL themselves will intervene - as they have before - once again purportedly to protect the "innocents" I've just described (the very same ones who can't be trusted with their own lunch money, the very same ones who likely use a whole array of ALTS to grief and harrass their neighbors, scam the unsuspecting and spend untold hours writing scathing posts about things which they in reality know NOTHING about - yea those very same folk).

Sorry Delish, I guess this response has degenerated into yet another shameless Bogart RANT - my sincerest aopolgies for that but I do feel VERY STRONGLY about the operational boundaries where SL CapEx has staked its claim - again fundamentally that the SL CAPITAL EXCHANGE STOCK MARKET SIMULATION IS SIMPLY A SERIOUS GAME and MUST REMAIN SO given the current legal and regulatory framework within the U.S. where we operate.

Yes, you can potentially pocket a few precious $Lindens in the process of getting a rather peculiar EDUCATION, helping "freinds and family" fund their SL dreams and being wildly ENTERTAINED in the process by this quirky little thang called the SL Capital Markets.

Granted, there are a relatively SMALL PERCENTAGE of people on the grid that still manage to squeeze out a legitimate RW Income - these days those folks are few and far between. Clearly, you are among the fortunate few that derive a nice RW income from SL but I'll still wager lunch that even you have made the MAJORITY of your SL Income doing something in-world OTHER THAN "Investing" in SL Stocks.

I guess that's the point really. Again I'll reiterate; While SL itself has great potential to allow persons to generate RW income, and while it IS possible to fund an SL Enterprise via the SL Capital Markets (generally equivalent to "freinds and family" level funding), any person who even remotely considers the SL Capital Markets to be an appropriate vehicle for RW quality Investment opportunity is just plain sorely mistaken.

For most of us this grid thang is indeed a SECOND LIFE - a simple DIVERSION to escape the often mundane or stressful realities of our FIRST LIFE - let's not try to make it out to be more than what it really is.

Thanks for your time - Best Wishes!

Beck Technical Research (BTR) Board Approves Resolution - 07/08/2008

Beck Technical Research (BTR) Board Approves Resolution - 07/08/2008
====================================================================

To our Shareholders and other interested parties,

I've mentioned recently in the BTR Financial Statements for both May and June 2008 that the Board of Directors of BTR has been considering various structural options for moving BTR forward and unlocking Asset value for our shareholders.

To that end I am pleased to report this morning that the BTR Board of Directors have unanimously APPROVED a Resolution to "spin out" our recent SIM Development effort (BIG Estate) into its own public-traded entity.

As we have done previously with BBX:BIG/BTR, this transaction has been proposed as a technical Reverse-Merger of BTR wherein the asset base of BTR is to be seperated into two seperate asset classes with such assets being divided into two NEW surviving entities whose COMBINED VALUE EQUALS the current BTR Asset valuation. I, and the Board of Directors are confident that the resulting corporate structure would be poised to perform BETTER in the SL Capital Markets than BTR would likely accomplish on its own.

This specific strategy is consistent with the objectives that were outlined in the BTR Prospectus and Strategic Plan articulated when the BBX:BIG/BTR split was consumated at year end. Folks that may be interested in BTR's strategies can find them at the following URL http://www.slcapex.com/symbol/BTR/profile

BIG Estate has been successfully incubated and is now fully-baked and is finally ready to stand on its own with its own Brand Identity and Management Team! As such, I am VERY pleased to announce that BTR's Board has nominated Ms. Kaffe McMahon to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the NEW Entity. Ms. McMahon is a well-respected SL innovator with a quantifiable track record of successful Estate Management and SL Event Marketing - attributes that are critical to the success of any SIM Operation. Ms. McMahon will formally join our team immediately upon completion of the Reverse-Merger - tentatively scheduled to close by July Month-End. In the interim Kaffe is working with us on a contract consultative basis to make certain that we enter the market with momentum and all oars in the water.

I am also VERY pleased to announce that Ms. Yanik Lytton has been nominated to serve as the NEW entity's inaugural Independent Director. At present Ms. Lytton serves on the Board of Directors of Nestler Investment Corp. (NIC) and Dreamcities.net (DCTY). It is indeed no accident that I chose to locate our SIM within the same Estate that both NIC's and DCTY's SIMS are located. Ms. Lyttons input regarding Estate continuity and operational oversight will be invaluable assets to us as we move forward.

Tentatively, the NEW Entity has been proposed to be named "Barbary Shores Association" and is anticipated to commence trading on the SL Capital Exchange as (BAR) by month-end. I have appended the BTR Board of Directors Resolution to the bottom of this press release and will post it in the BTR Forum for review and comment by our shareholders. As always, should you have any questions regarding BTR or this Resolution please do not hesitate to drop me a note in-world or via GMail Bogart.Beck@Gmail.com - I look forward to your input and comments!

Respectfully,

Bo Beck
BTR CEO

Hey Danielz, frankly, I've just about heard enough of your rhetoric!

It's so easy for folks like yourself to throw SL CapEx under the bus month after month to justify and explain away your own lack of performance in the marketplace, your own inability to attract new investors and shareholders, and your own culpability in reducing the SL Capital Markets to what it is today.

Perhaps next time, BEFORE you write such scathing comments you might just stop for a moment and think about how YOUR OWN comments (and others just like yours) are the types of comments that are driving people AWAY from the SL capital markets. Seriously, THINK ABOUT IT!

If you (or anyone else) truly believes that the grass is that much greener elsewhere on the grid, PLEASE, fold up your tent and move your flock there. Personally, I think that you'll find that those other pastures have the exact same weeds and the exact same manure that you so often complain about here.

Each of us, individually and collectively, every day will either continue to be part of the problem or will begin to be part of the solution. Those of us that have elected to pursue the later are doing every thing that we reasonably can to move this small part of our lives forward.

So, you're either with us or against us; if you're with us start rowing in the same direction the rest of us are, if you're NOT then GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR BOAT!

Danielz,

I read them. As you might appreciate were folks continually slandering your efforts, it gets very tiresome to see folks over and over and over blaming US for things we really have ZERO control over.

I'm NOT trying to pick a fight with you - I generally agree that you have historically run one of the BEST Public companies in the metaverse (and tell people that regularly), but this continual muckraking has GOT to STOP.

Either you're part of the solution or you're part of the problem - you can't be both.

Re: dividend?

Danielz,

Fair enough. It's hard to judge good intention from words on a screen but I'll take them at face value and apologize.

As we've recently discussed there ARE some efforts being championed in the background that may help us all when they see the light of day this month - time will tell - stay tuned.

Bo
