Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City to Discuss HFT not Driving Investors from the Stock Market

July 12, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Golden Networking brings Tech2Trade Expo 2013 (www.Tech2TradeExpo.com), World’s Most Influential Alternative Investments Conference Series, including High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — For a long time, only a tiny group of folks like me cared about the structures through which investors’ orders to buy and sell stocks and other financial instruments were actually traded. Lately, that has changed, as it will be noted at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City, July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

According to a Financial Times op-ed, a few years ago, during the peak of the financial crisis, the rest of the world started waking up to what my fellow geeks and I had long known: US equity market structure had undergone a vast, long-term transformation – from a simple, mostly manual system to an extraordinarily complex, highly automated one – and that this metamorphosis was spreading to other markets globally.

Once relegated to obscure trade journals and dry industry conferences, market structure is now front-page news. And that coverage tends to focus on episodes in which technology fails: the 2010 “flash crash” in US markets and, in 2012, the aborted initial public offering of exchange company BATS Global Markets, systems troubles that affected the Facebook IPO and a software glitch at Knight Capital Group.

News stories, blogs and social media posts refer ominously to such incidents and, generally, to high-frequency trading, as seriously damaging investor confidence. The average reader could be forgiven for thinking that worries over HFT and modern market structure are driving mom-and-pop investors from the stock market in droves, like so many terrified villagers in a Godzilla film.

Justin Schack, managing director and partner at Rosenblatt Securities in New York, agrees that today’s structure may not be pretty, and elements of it surely need fixing, but it wound up delivering better outcomes for end investors than what it replaced. Transaction cost data from multiple vendors show that institutional investors can implement ideas far more cheaply today than before the transformation. This includes not just exchange fees and broker commissions, but also the price impact of large trades hitting the market. New, fundamental changes to market-structure regulation could trigger another transformative cycle, with no guarantee that investor outcomes would improve in the end.

Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will examine the speed trading industry from various angles, in an opened and unbiased environment highly conducive to networking. Topics to be discussed at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 will include:

– Low Latency: How can Ultra-Low Latency be Achieved for High-Frequency Trading?
– Emerging Markets: How will Emerging Markets from Brazil to China Affect the Scope of High-frequency Trading?
– Robotic Markets: As High-frequency Trading Embraces Robotic Markets Worldwide, How Will Participants be Able to Find new Opportunities to Sustain Alpha Creation?
– Regulatory Impact: With High-frequency Trading in the Spotlight, how will New Regulations Change the Industry?
– The Future of HFT: How will High-frequency Trading Evolve in Ever-changing Technology and Regulatory Environments?

Tech2Trade Expo 2013, to be held in New York City, London, Chicago, Singapore and Frankfurt, is the world’s most influential alternative investments forum for the hedge fund, high-frequency trading and derivatives communities. With dozens of practitioners, experts and regulators speaking in our programs, Tech2Trade Expo 2013 provides hundreds of investors, traders and portfolio managers with the key lessons, proven recipes and penetrating insights they are looking for to capture alpha in up and down markets.

High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 is produced by Golden Networking (http://www.goldennetworking.net), the premier networking community for business executives, entrepreneurs and investors. Panelists, speakers and sponsors are invited to download our Information Package or contact Golden Networking directly by calling +1-414-FORUMS0 or sending an email to information@goldennetworking.net.

The Rise of the Machines at Tech2Trade Expo 2013’s High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York

July 12, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (July 12, 2013) — In the 17th century, it is said that the Rothschilds were able to balance stock markets in their favor by flying carrier pigeons to relay information before their peers. Today’s equivalent is high-frequency trading, the main topic of discussion at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 New York City, July 30th, as part of Tech2Trade Expo 2013 New York City (http://www.Tech2TradeExpo.com).

According to Public Service Europe, HFT creates extreme market volatility and has even resulted in a ‘flash crash’. On May 6, 2010, US index the Dow Jones plunged 1,000 points – or 9 per cent of its total – only to recover those losses within minutes. This shock was a direct result of HFT. And the sequence of events was triggered by a single sale of $4.1bn in futures contracts by a mutual, in an aggressive attempt to hedge its investment position. This was quickly magnified by HFTs, creating a snowball effect.

Not only that, the limited uses for such a trading device are simply to pump up pension funds or to create greater wealth for the super-rich. All this without truly investing in a productive asset – a company that might make a difference to wider society. Any integrity markets might have once had now lies in tatters.

At this precise moment, the world of HFT is analogous to a frontier town. Only this time, it is not humans displaying wild west-style behavior but the machines we have created. The flash crash of 2010 was a wake-up call. However, it seems the regulators are still asleep and we all know where that leads – circa the 2008 global economic crisis we are still coming to terms with today. Perhaps, carrier pigeons were not such a bad idea after all.

July 11, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

In celebration of 12 years of publishing excellence, the Give God the Glory! series of books and devotionals, by best-selling author, Kevin Wayne Johnson, announces the launch of a 90-day pre-publication sale period, on July 1st, for the next book release subtitled: Called to be Light in the Workplace – A Workbook.

Clarksville, MD, USA (July 10, 2013) — In celebration of 12 years of publishing excellence, the Give God the Glory! series of books and devotionals, by best-selling author, Kevin Wayne Johnson, announces the launch of a 90-day pre-publication sale period, on July 1st, for the next book release subtitled: Called to be Light in the Workplace – A Workbook. Published by Writing for the Lord Ministries (http://www.writingforthelord.com), Johnson, a pastor, author, speaker, teacher, and workshop leader, enthusiastically embraces God’s Word and presents it in such a way that it is easy to grasp, encouraging his readers to apply proven principles to achieve a victorious Christian life. This series of non-fiction books has earned 17 literary/media awards since 2001.

Called to be Light in the Workplace – A Workbook is a revised and expanded version of the second book in this series (2003). This workbook challenges its readers to be ‘light’ on their respective job(s) in each of the three phases of career progression: (1) Entry-level (trainee or intern), (2) Journeyman-level (middle manager), and (3) Senior-level (executive or mentor). God’s Word ministers about how to encourage others at work and influence positive change in the midst of dysfunctional places of employment. Through the lives of Jesus, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Evangelist Billy Graham, Dr. Ben Carson, and many other recognizable and unrecognizable names, excellence in their jobs raised the level of productivity of others. This workbook is systematically divided into three parts, with three chapters each. Supported by the Scriptures throughout, the central theme of each chapter focuses on specific ways to let our ‘light’ shine and to Give God the Glory! while at work every day. In doing so, comfort, love, joy, fulfillment, and happiness are manifest as only God can reveal.

Revealed, Why Vacations Make US Happier, Healthier & More Productive

July 10, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Leading wellness travel brand, Wellness Tourism Worldwide, has just announced the results of a U.S.travel survey on the power of vacations in boosting heath, happiness and productivity.

Los Angeles (July 9, 2013) — Leading wellness travel brand, Wellness Tourism Worldwide, has just announced the results of a U.S.travel survey on the power of vacations in boosting heath, happiness and productivity.

Wellness Tourism Worldwide’s new report surveyed over 500 U.S. consumers to better understand the underlying psychology related to vacation motivations, perceptions and purchase decisions including preferred destinations, booking choices, trip length and trip spend.

The survey is part of WTW’s newly released U.S. Vacationers: Happiness, Health & Productivity – An Essential Report for Travel, Hospitality & Wellness Industries. Peer reviewed by experts and thought leaders in academia, hospitality, tourism and work/life balance, this report provides unprecedented information including survey data, extensive literary research and in-depth interviews with industry experts.

Wellness Tourism Worldwide Founder & CEO, Camille Hoheb, remarked, “Our survey respondents believe vacations are an important aspect of work/life balance – providing time for individuals, couples and friends and family to decompress, connect, explore, engage, learn, renew and transform. Our mission is to improve well-being and economic growth through travel and we believe in promoting travel as both a personal strategy for wellness and as an economic strategy benefiting businesses and communities.”

High Level Survey Findings include:

– Over 90% of respondents believe vacations can improve happiness.
– Nearly 90% of respondents believe vacations can improve health.
– 84% respondents believe vacations can improve productivity citing better problem solving, enhanced creativity, more resiliency, better ability to cope with daily stress among other factors.

– 21% of respondents decided to change jobs while on vacation
– 19% of respondents decided to start a new business
– 90% said they would look at vacations as being transformative in the future

One of the great challenges in the U.S. workforce is the ability for employees to take a vacation. Roughly one-third of respondents reported they didn’t remember they took a 7+ day vacation citing lack of time-off and money as the major barriers. Despite these challenges over 90% of respondents reported that taking a vacation was important during tough financial times and a majority planned to take a vacation in the next year.

Offering a timely perspective on what today’s American leisure travelers seek, desire and expect during a vacation, the U.S. Vacationers report is a resource used to aid in wellness promotion, travel marketing, and vacation policy development.

The Report Is Useful To:

Travel sellers, suppliers, destinations and all travel and tourism professionals

ADS MedicsConnect™ Automates Transmission of Radiology Reports for Easy Upload to Any EHR

July 9, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New Advanced Data Systems’ Tool Speeds Electronic Exam Results to Referring Physicians in Vendor Agnostic Format.

Paramus, NJ (July 9, 2013) — Advanced Data Systems (ADS) introduces MedicsConnect, an innovative new tool that automatically transmits radiology reports to referring physicians in a vendor agnostic HL7 format compatible with any electronic health record (EHR) system. The new technology eliminates the need for implementing multiple costly, customized HL7 interfaces, representing a potential cost savings of tens of thousands of dollars for radiologists. Working conveniently from within a radiology information system (RIS), the unique application transmits reports over the Internet to a medical practice’s static IP address using secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) to ensure data safety. Referring physicians can configure their EMRs to automatically download the data to the appropriate patient file.

MedicsConnect supports a radiology practice’s marketing efforts by providing an important extra level of customer service. Reliably and seamlessly, it offers referring physicians convenient access to reports, while eliminating the costs to radiologists of implementing customized HL7 interfaces to accept inbound data at key referrers.

“Hartsdale Diagnostic Imaging has been relying on the radiology solutions from ADS for years for comprehensive, easy-to-use automation tools for management, financials, and radiology EHR. Now with MedicsConnect, we have greatly solidified our referring physicians with its ability to deliver our radiology reports directly to their EHRs,” says user Joseph Casoria, Practice Administrator, Hartsdale Diagnostic Imaging in Hartsdale, NY.

According to David Barzillai, President of ADS, “MedicsConnect is almost effortless from the radiologist’s point of view. In just a few mouse clicks, completed reports are transmitted with the highest level of security in a format any referring physician’s system can read and archive. Finally, sharing electronic radiology reports really is that simple.”

Barzillai points out that with MedicsConnect, communicating electronic reports is as streamlined as faxing and as important a development as automated faxing was 25 years ago. The innovative tool makes it practical and cost-effective for radiologists to provide all the advantages of EHR-compatible radiology reports to referring practices of any size, even to independent practitioners.

MedicsConnect comes integrated into the ADS MedicsRIS™ and is also available as a stand-alone application for integration into any radiology practice’s RIS solution.

About Advanced Data Systems: Advanced Data Systems (ADS) is a leading provider of automation solutions to radiology and medical imaging practices of every size and scope, as well as to radiology revenue cycle management companies. ADS’ MedicsRIS™ is a powerfully comprehensive yet affordable system currently integrated with numerous PACS. Using the company’s MedicsDocAssistant™ EHR for Radiology, a large number of radiologists have obtained Stage 1 Stimulus Act financial incentives. The system is specifically designed to capture medical imaging-related data needed by radiology practices to achieve EHR Meaningful Use (MU). ADS provides timely implementation, comprehensive training and excellent ongoing U.S.-based customer support with updates such as ICD-10 and Stage 2 MU.

IAPAM Announces Dates for its Next Symposium with Botox Injection Training: September 14-15

July 4, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was specifically designed as a “one-stop” program to add non-insurance based medical procedures to a practice, or to start a new medspa. Today, the IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona: September 14-15, 2013.

Las Vegas, Nevada, USA – July 4, 2013 — With all the talk of Obamacare and reductions in insurance reimbursements in the US among physicians, it is more important than ever to educate physicians that they cannot just offer botox if they want to make money. They need to offer all the top 5 minimally-invasive procedures coupled with a weight loss program. The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was specifically designed as a “one-stop” program to add non-insurance based medical procedures to a practice, or to start a new medspa. Today, the IAPAM announces the dates for its next Aesthetic Medicine Symposium in Scottsdale, Arizona: September 14-15, 2013.

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium was designed to give physicians all the information, forms, DVDs, hands-on training, etc. that they need to begin offering aesthetics when they finish the conference. As well, it is important to understand that botox is not a profit centre, just a gateway to make money with other aesthetic procedures. Only the IAPAM’s Symposium teaches physicians about this principle….. no one else is offering this competitive intelligence.

Indeed, while this is nothing new, but offering non-insurance based procedures is more on the top of the minds to physicians lately, and the IAPAM understands this. The IAPAM is the only complete program that offers:

– An Accelerated program; physicians and their staff can be certified over a weekend;
– 19 training DVD’s to take back to one’s practice;
– Board certified Dermatologists as instructors;
– Internationally recognized Certification;
– CME (Continuing Medical Education) credits;
– 1 Year practice support (continues as long as a member); and much, much, more!

“More patients are turning to the more inexpensive non-invasive procedures rather than surgical cosmetic procedures,” says Jeff Russell, Executive Director of the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (http://www.iapam.com). “They may not get the long term benefits of a face lift, but with a combination treatment of botox and dermal fillers, then can get a great result at a fraction of the price.”

For more information on the IAPAM’s September 14-15 Symposium with Botox Training, watch this comprehensive video at http://youtu.be/bBQlS0CpOvw or to register for the September Aesthetic Medicine Symposium on September 14-15, 2013, please contact the IAPAM, at 1-800-219-5108 ext. 704, or visit http://iapam.com/aesthetic-medicine-symposium-botox-training.

Botox is a trademark of Allergan, Inc.

About the IAPAM: The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine

The International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine is a voluntary association of physicians and supporters, which sets standards for the aesthetic medical profession. The goal of the association is to offer education, ethical standards, credentialing, and member benefits. IAPAM membership is open to all licensed medical doctors (MDs), dentists (DDSs/DMDs) doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), physicians assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs).

July 3, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Press & Media Genius is the 1st of its kind, “brilliant solution for media and press coverage.” Cutting PR cost by 74% for events, government officials, corporations, charities, and etc..

Chicago, IL, July 3, 2013 — Press & Media Genius is a prototypical body of work created by what we call a, “Turn-Key Solution for Media Coverage.” PMG’s Founder has literally built her entire executive career on that definition-even before the term “TurnKey Solution(s),” came into common use.

A high energy, fiscally conscious, and goal-driven mass media mogul, PMG’s founder approaches each new business challenge with her intrinsic flair for innovation, creative problem solving, and measured risk-taking to drive consistent bottom-line improvements and shareholder returns.

The Press & Media Genius’s team began in 2013 on a path that is rare among other Public Relations firms or groups.

Having earned the interest of over 300,000 professionals in mass media, the team’s newest platform will build strong media coverage for brands worldwide, while lowering the cost for public and media relation’s service(s) by 73%.
