ENV2 New Viral Marketing System Is Launching By Empower Network. This new system will be live in September 2013 Nilsson says.

Eagan, MN, August 04, 2013 – ENV2 New Viral Marketing System Is Launching By Empower Network.

This new system will be live in September 2013 Nilsson says. The Viral Blogging System comes fully hosted, coded and designed for only $25 per month and is stocked and loaded with all these features:

– SEO tools

The new ENV2 System is designed by marketers to help increase sales and boost your bottom line regardless of the business or industry you are in Nilsson says. We all need traffic and having a Viral Blog is a solution to many problems when you are marketing online.

The ENV2 has a slick looking design, is fully customizable to meet the individual’s needs, and is set up to be optimized for your online marketing, if you buy it with the intention to use it for that purpose. Many people use it for personal use, or to market other businesses because it is much quicker, easier and ultimately more affordable than getting a self-hosted blog set up (when you consider everything it takes to set-up and host a blog, such as: monthly hosting fees, design costs, programming costs, and any additional services your outsource such as SEO and anything customized).

The new Viral Blogging System will be a game changer for many businesses worldwide Nilsson says.

Nilsson says, After intentionally staying on the fringe of the Home Business/Network Marketing Industry for a dozen years, the careful evaluation and due diligence of a dozen different top internet marketing systems, it was obvious that Empower Network and ENV2 had the perfect combination of product, leadership, training and appropriate market timing. It’s very rare to have all of these elements come together in one powerful structure all at the same time. Together we can make a huge and important difference in peoples lives.

The Real Story Behind the Rise and Fall of Knight Capital Now at KnightmareonWallStreet.com

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders, and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, Proudly Introduces Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, a Behind-the-scenes Look at Knight Capital’s 17 years of Tumultuous Existence as an Independent Company.

New York City, NY, USA (August 2, 2013) — Edgar Perez, the celebrated author of The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) and global speaker on the topics of high-frequency trading (HFT) and investing, is proud to introduce his newest title, Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, exclusively available at http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com.

A thrilling minute-by-minute account of the terrifying hours following the August 1, 2012 trading debacle, with news-breaking research regarding Knight Capital’s 17 years of tumultuous existence as an independent company, Knightmare on Wall Street is a behind-the-scenes look at the rise and fall of Knight Capital.

Reviews for Perez’s first title, The Speed Traders were overwhelmingly positive. “The Speed Traders offers cutting-edge intelligence on the relatively concealed industry of High-Frequency Trading. The substantial foundation of HFT is laid out and combined with thorough interviews to make sense of the complicated technicalities in HFT. Perez gives the whole picture by critically defining HFT, charting its inconspicuous emanation into the securities market, breaking down the flash crash of 2010, forecasting the indisputable role that HFT will play in the financial world, and perhaps most importantly, walking the reader through 6 different evaluations with actual high frequency traders.”

“The interviews were the most valuable asset in making this industry understandable. The first person narrative is key because it’s easy to comprehend and relatively scarce in current literature for many reasons, two of which are that traders are reluctant to disclose strategies on generating alpha and the barriers of entry to the HFT industry are so high that there is only a limited amount of traders that actually know what they are talking about. Readers searching for break-through information on HFT have met their match because The Speed Traders is in a class of its own. Its exceptionally designed equilibrium between fleshed-out mentorship and historical HFT knowledge delivers core comprehension of a challenging topic.”

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English by McGraw-Hill Inc. (2011), published in Mandarin by China Financial Publishing House (2012), and Investasi Super Kilat: Pandangan Orang dalam tentang Fenomena Baru Frekuensi Tinggi yang Mentransformasi Dunia Investasi, published in Bahasa Indonesia by Kompas Gramedia (2012). Perez is course director of The Speed Traders Workshop, How High Frequency Traders Leverage Profitable Strategies to Find Alpha in Equities, Options, Futures and FX (Hong Kong, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw, Kiev, New York, Singapore, Beijing, Shanghai). He contributes to The New York Times and China’s International Finance News and Sina Finance.

Heroes and Villains Populate Knightmare on Wall Street Book as Captured by Perez’s Keen Insight

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders, and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, Proudly Introduces Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, a Behind-the-scenes Look at Knight Capital’s 17 years of Tumultuous Existence as an Independent Company.

New York City, NY, USA (August 2, 2013) — “Ever since the Knight Capital trading disaster broke in August 1, 2012, investors and traders have been morbidly fascinated by the incident. How had so sophisticated a company managed to burn though $440 million in a bit more than half an hour? How could the firm endure the bleeding for what amounted to years in electronic trading? Some of us could imagine ourselves among the members of the management team in those tragic minutes; others found an unimaginable relief in watching the financial tragedy unfolds in front of their eyes and not inside their own firms.” That’s how UltraHighFrequencyTrading.com kicks off its review of Edgar Perez’s latest title, Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, now exclusively available at http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com.

The editors at UltraHighFrequencyTrading.com praise Knightmare on Wall Street’s “superlative account of the coming-of-age of high frequency trading, and the definitive chronicle of Knight Capital’s impressive ascendancy and lightning toppling.” They continue: “Perez takes the reader on a riveting journey while providing a record of verbatim verbal exchanges between the major players, as their personalities, decisions, ambitions and indecisions send ripples throughout the financial markets. Heroes, villains and human fallibility populate this true story as captured by the author’s keen insight and imaginative presentation.”

“Perez’s story holds us not because of the absorbing details of the incident, but because of its human dimension. ‘Knightmare on Wall Street’ begins by reconstructing the events of that grim morning during which the firm begun spewing orders and scaring traders on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange on the day of the launch of the Retail Liquidity Program. Top managers, including Steven Sadoff and Michael Tobin, failed to act decisively in the absence of their CEO. Perez clearly does not believe that they were ultimate responsible in the extraordinary failure. But in Perez’s telling, they should have known better, much better.”

“Perez takes the reader on a riveting ride through trading rooms where the personalities of the major players are revealed. ‘Knightmare on Wall Street’ is certain to become a seminal classic among the pertinent Wall Street literature, alongside such heavyweight tomes as Barbarians at the Gate, Liar’s Poker, When Genius Failed and Den of Thieves. It is not merely a compelling and essential text for anyone who wishes to comprehend the climate of algorithmic trading, or anyone who wants to gain insight into the future evolution of financial markets and its discontents. This is a highly recommended read for anyone desiring the inside scoop about today’s electronic and high-frequency trading.”

Perez is widely regarded as the preeminent global expert in the specialized area of high-frequency trading. He is author of The Speed Traders, An Insider’s Look at the New High-Frequency Trading Phenomenon That is Transforming the Investing World, published in English by McGraw-Hill Inc.

Edgar Perez’s Latest Thriller, Knightmare on Wall Street, Rise and Fall of Knight Capital, Out Now

Leave a comment

Edgar Perez, Author, The Speed Traders, and Course Director, The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, Proudly Introduces Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, a Behind-the-scenes Look at Knight Capital’s 17 years of Tumultuous Existence as an Independent Company.

New York City, NY, USA (August 2, 2013) — Edgar Perez, the celebrated author of The Speed Traders (http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com) and global speaker on the topics of high-frequency trading (HFT) and investing, introduces Knightmare on Wall Street, The Rise and Fall of Knight Capital and the Biggest Risk for Financial Markets, a fascinating account of what it took to elevate Knight Capital (now acquired by GETCO and renamed KCG Holdings) to the cusp of the retail investing revolution of the late 1990s, to struggle through booms and busts, and to bring the firm down, to end up ultimately being ignominiously bought up by a competitor. Knightmare on Wall Street is now exclusively available at http://www.KnightmareonWallStreet.com.

The firm, founded by Kenneth Pasternak and Walter Raquet in 1995, had seen its fortunes change as U.S. regulators made a series of changes in the structure of financial markets and computers were progressively expanding their share of trading. The Flash Crash, the infamous 1,000 point drop of the DJIA on May 6, 2010 (the largest one-day point decline in history), illustrated how market structure problems could almost instantaneously cascade from one market participant to the rest.

Thomas Joyce, CEO of Knight Capital since 2002 and an unapologetic advocate of electronic trading, had been scornful of those companies that struggled to keep up with ever-changing stock markets. So it was certainly shocking that at 9:30 A.M. on August 1, 2012, right after the markets opened for the day, Knight Capital began issuing an unprecedented number of erroneous orders into the market, due to an error in installing new software. No rogue trader or regulatory change; operational risk was passing the bill to Knight Capital and becoming the biggest risk in the financial markets.

Knight Capital announced later a staggering loss of $440 million. What followed after this shocking announcement were several rounds of desperate conversations with a number of vulture players who had smelled opportunity and were readying themselves to pick up bargain-priced pieces. On August 6, 2012, Joyce confirmed that Knight Capital had struck a deal with Jefferies, TD Ameritrade, Blackstone, GETCO, Stephens, and Stifel Financial, staving off collapse days after the trading mishap.

While Knight Capital was back in the game, its limping recovery quickly prompted hungry competitors to bid for the entire company. On December 19, 2012, the board decided to accept an acquisition proposal from GETCO rather than Virtu Financial. For GETCO, acquiring Knight Capital represented a gigantic fast forward step. For Knight Capital, it was the end of its wild ride as an independent entity, told from beginning to end by Knightmare on Wall Street.

Santerno Solar Inverters Deliver Proven Performance at Solar Systems’ Mildura Solar Power Station in Australia

Leave a comment

Contract with Solar Systems Demonstrates that Santerno Inverters Designed for Optimal CPV Performance in Harsh Conditions Such as Arid Australian Outback.

IMOLA, Italy (July 25, 2013) — Santerno, the Carraro Group company that specializes in alternative energy electronics and industrial automation, today announced the completion of installation of its concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) power inverters in the first phase of the Mildura Solar Power Station Project in Australia. The power station, located in Victoria, was constructed by Solar Systems, wholly owned subsidiary of Silex Systems Limited, and is to be one of the largest solar power stations in Australia.

By standardizing on the Santerno solar inverters, Solar Systems ensures that the Mildura Solar Power Station remains in compliance with Australian construction codes for solar systems. Santerno’s solar components are being provided by NHP Electrical Engineering Products, which has been supplying sales and service of Santerno solar technology in Australia and New Zealand since 2003.

Unlike most solar power installations, Solar Systems uses a unique design that concentrates solar power using a parabolic mirror that focuses the sun’s energy onto a focal point where a small area of high-efficiency PV cells then converts the solar rays into electrical power. These curved reflecting mirrors are mounted on tracking systems that follow the sun to deliver concentrated CPV energy throughout the day. Stage one of the Mildura Power Station project is a 1.5 MW demonstration solar array; enough clean energy to power 500 homes.

“Solar Systems’ innovative tracking dish design is one of the most efficient PV designs we have seen, and it’s installed in some of the harshest climates on the planet,” said Marco Tecchio, Chief Executive Officer of Santerno. “The successful completion of this project demonstrates the resilience of our solar inverters and their suitability for use in even the most challenging environments. We anticipate that, with the aid of partners such as Solar Systems, we will be able to continue to expand into global markets, including Australia.”

Santerno is aggressively expanding into new global markets with new contracts signed recently in South Africa and the United States.

About Santerno
Headquartered in Imola, Italy, with offices around the globe, Santerno designs and markets solar inverters and products used to produce electricity from renewable sources. Since 2006 the company has been part of the Carraro Group, a multinational company specializing in power transmission systems with engineering and production operations in 16 countries. Santerno has more than 40 years of expertise in design automation of power electronics and has manufactured solar power inverters for 27 years, hybrid vehicles for 16 years, and wind power systems for six years. Santerno has more than 40 distributors worldwide.
