Mystery Novel GEM by Naida Reynolds Released Worldwide

March 25, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

GEM, a twisting muddle of mystery, lies, deceit, Nazis, spies, revenge, lost love, and a skewed romance is now available worldwide in ebook and print versions.

Duluth, MN, USA (March 25, 2013) — In Naida Reynolds’ (http://www.NaidaReynolds.com) breakout novel, titled Gem — Gem Forrester is an Agency courier on a secret mission to find out what happened to her twin sister, their parents, and a dear family friend, who disappeared without a trace. As Gem begins to piece together what happened one fateful night, she will have to discover what happened to Nazis who had disappeared over sixty years ago.

Gem Forrester’s life consisted of her family and her career with the Agency – until both are cast into tragedy, mystery, chaos, and pain. A chance meeting in Barcelona further complicates her life in a way she could never foresee or even imagine. Readers will be caught up in the mysteries and chaos in Gem’s life. But will question if Gem can resolve these issues without losing her sanity.

“We never know during our busy daily lives how our words, choices, or actions might affect other people with whom we come in contact,” says Reynolds, (http://www.NaidaReynolds.com). “Every ‘story’ has two or more sides, and sometimes the most seemingly insignificant moment in one person’s life can cause an unintended domino effect in other people’s lives.”

Gem has found herself in this new hellish mission where she is thrown an emotional life-line in the appearance of a fascinating, handsome man – Wyatt Grantham. While Gem pursues her private mission to find her family, Wyatt pursues her for his private agenda. Gem’s once well-organized life is now a muddle of mystery, lies, deceit, lost love, and a skewed ‘romance’.

“Naida Reynolds gives you a combination of Nazi spies, mystery, history, romance and revenge all with a little bit of humor added. This was a great read and highly recommended. This book kept moving and the interaction between the characters was superbly developed. A true page turner,” says reviewer James Summer.

The ebook version of Gem ISBN 9781622872619, published by First Edition Design Publishing http://www.firsteditiondesignpublishing.com, is available online wherever ebooks are sold. The 768 page print book version, ISBN 9781622872626, was published by First Edition Design Publishing and distributed worldwide to online booksellers.

Innovative New Way to Send a Shout Out

March 23, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

App4that Solutions, an App Software company, has recently deployed an innovative way to create, send, and save text based communication with location information provided as a Google map link.

Louisville, KY, March 23, 2013 — Advancements in social media and texting platforms are replacing the way we communicate with our co-workers, friends, and family. The development of mobile Apps, like Shout Outz, are paving the way for immediate response and location based communications. It is text messaging taken to the next level. Until recent years, texting has been the primary vehicle for mobile non-business forms of communications. Now business and no-businesses alike are embracing the benefits of mobile social medias to communicate more effectively with their connections. Shout Outz demonstrates another layer of the development in how our electronic communication models continue to evolve.

Shout Outz offers users the same sleek user interface as seen on iPhone’s iMessage app, but picks up where Apple developers left off. Messages created with Shout Outz can be saved, copied, edited, re-saved, and even stored as history. And the most acclaimed feature; you can send a current place or surrounding place in a text message as a Google map link. The recipient of the message can touch the link and use the Google maps app or website to drive or walk to the sender’s location.

With over 91 percent of the US population carrying smart phones and staggering statistics such as, “96 percent of all text messages engage readers within 5 seconds of receipt.” Apps like Shout Outz only further exemplify a strong case for the future of e-mail destitute.

Allen Boyd, a General Manager, at Excel Logistic says, “Shout Outz has helped our operation to implement an effective, real-time communication channel into our procedures. A pole taken at excel showed over 75 percent of the workforce in Evansville, IN wanted to receive severe weather updates and general building announcements via text messaging, than through an e-mail.”

Like Facebook, Twitter and other social media based Apps, Shout Outz shows how e-mail is slowly being replaces by text centric technologies. To find out more about Shout Outz, you can visit the App4that Solutions website at http://www.app4thatsolutions.com.

About App4that Solutions/Shout Outz:
An application software company, App4that Solutions is devoted to improving the way non-business and businesses communicate using the latest mobile technologies. Shout Outz, a public offering, is also available for businesses as a customizable solution. Branding is available for the product.

Edgar Perez, Keynote at London HFT Conference, Warns of Impending Correction in US Equities Markets

March 19, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

Golden Networking hosts the World’s Most Influential High-Frequency Trading Conference Series, High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21 (www.High-Frequency-Trading-Conference.com).

New York City, NY, USA (March 19, 2013) — Mr. Edgar Perez, author of The Speed Traders and the forthcoming Knightmare on Wall Street, and keynote speaker at Golden Networking’s High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges”, March 21, warned of an impending correction in the US equities markets coming as early as in the second quarter. The full article can be read at his blog, http://www.TheSpeedTraders.com, though this link: http://thespeedtraders.wordpress.com/2013/03/17/the-correction-in-the-us-equities-markets-nobody-wants-to-talk-about-edgar-perez-hft-speaker.

Mr. Perez attributed the recent Dow Jones Industrial Average’s (DJIA) longest winning streak since 1996 to very good corporate earnings and monetary policy that pushes investors to take risks in equities. So he asked himself if the earnings momentum is sustainable. “Unfortunately, savings from the smaller share of the pie from labor, government spending and earnings coming from emerging markets (EM) outside the US are all factors that will be curtailed at some moment. Is the Fed eager to continue being the huge player in this equation? Some of its members are increasingly worried about the effectiveness of the continued QE; if the labor market recovers, as the January numbers showed, the Fed most probably might be ending its bond purchases soon.”

“What the equity markets want indeed is stable and/or predictably increasing US profits and the Fed to stay in the bond markets. Somebody has ironically suggested that markets’ best hope might be a cut in government spending deep enough to kill job growth and indefinitely extend QE, something that nobody else would agree with. Instead, markets would be happy with a bit of positive news today followed by another bit of negative news tomorrow. Unfortunately for the markets, profits will start showing stagnation starting with first quarter results. Federal Reserve said in September 2012, when QE3 was announced, that it would start pumping $40 billion a month to purchase agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) until the labor market improves substantially. When will the Fed determine that the job market has made enough progress to reduce stimulus? The numbers for February will prove paramount in this regard. As these two important factors converge in a nightmarish scenario, equities markets should beware of the ensuing correction, coming as early as in the second quarter.”

Mr. Perez has been interviewed on CNBC Cash Flow, CNBC Squawk Box, BNN Business Day, CCTV China, Bankier.pl, TheStreet.com, Leaderonomics, GPW Media, Channel NewsAsia Business Tonight and Cents & Sensibilities. In addition, Mr. Perez has been featured on Sohu, News.Sina.com, Yicai, eastmoney, Caijing, ETF88.com, 360doc, AH Radio, CNFOL.com, CITICS Futures, Tongxin Securities, ZhiCheng.com, CBNweek.com, Caixin, Futures Daily, Xinhua, CBN Newswire, Chinese Financial News, ifeng.com, International Finance News, hexun.com, Finance.QQ.com, Finance.Sina.com, The Korea Times, The Korea Herald, The Star, The Malaysian Insider, BMF 89.9, iMoney Hong Kong, CNBC, Bloomberg Hedge Fund Brief, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Dallas Morning News, Valor Econômico, FIXGlobal Trading, TODAY Online, Oriental Daily News and Business Times.

Mr. 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).

Mr. Perez is course director of The Speed Traders Workshop 2012, 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) and was Adjunct Professor at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University, where he taught Algorithmic Trading and High-Frequency Finance. He contributes to The New York Times and China’s International Finance News and Sina Finance.

Controlling Risk of Lightning High Speed Trading at High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London

March 19, 2013 staronepr Leave a comment

New York City, NY, USA (March 19, 2013) — A handful of high-frequency trading firms accounted for an estimated two thirds of overall trading volume on U.S. equities markets in the last five years. One firm with such a computerized system traded over 2 billion shares in a single day in October 2008, amounting to over 10 percent of U.S. equities trading volume for the day. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this technology-dependent trading environment, and how are its risks controlled?

Carol Clark, Senior Policy Specialist in the financial markets group at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, will be joining other high-profile speakers at the most influential high-frequency trading conference in the world, Golden Networking’s High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 London, March 21 with the keynote speech “Risk Controls and High-Frequency Trading”. Anyone interested or involved in high-frequency trading will be able to gain inside knowledge at High Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.High-Frequency-Trading.info) “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges,” which brings insightful keynote speeches and highly regarded panels.

Ms. Clark’s work focuses on public policy issues relating to trading (high speed trading, high frequency trading and algorithmic trading), market microstructure, clearing, settlement and payments.

Prior to joining the financial markets group, Ms. Clark held a variety of positions at the Bank including national market research manager in the customer relations and support office, payments research manager in the economic research department, examiner in the capital markets unit, research coordinator in the national book-entry securities office and analyst in the loans and reserves department.

Her research has been published in the Journal of Payment Systems Law and the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Chicago Fed Letter and Economic Perspectives. Ms. Clark has a B.A. from St. Xavier College and an M.A. from the University of Chicago.

High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 (http://www.High-Frequency-Trading.info) “Strategic and Tactical Insights for Investors, Speed Traders, Brokers and Exchanges” will bring insights for investors and speed traders, who need to protect and refine their competitive advantage in a world dominated by algorithmic and high-frequency trading. Recognized practitioners, regulators, experts, and strategists will return to High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 to provide attendees with the information they are looking for in an open and unbiased environment, highly conducive to the most efficient and effective networking.

Topics that will be discussed at High-Frequency Trading Leaders Forum 2013 include the movement toward emerging markets, which is increasingly attuned to the use of bots, and the regulatory environment, specifically how new technologies are changing the game, including a look at the upcoming regulatory changes that undoubtedly will be precipitated by Knight Capital’s trading glitch.
