An axiom: When buying exceeds selling,European Stock Exchange Listings Articles the share price goes up.
When selling exceeds buying, the share price goes down. The reasons for the
buying or selling are secondary to the act of buying or selling.

The goal of your stock support plan is to encourage buying and
discourage selling. One tactic in your battle for a strong share price is
to list your company's shares on a European Stock Exchange.

Europeans are investors, not speculators. They'll carefully review
the fundamentals of your company. I advise clients to sell their product or
service in Europe. It gives your company credibility with potential
European investors. As a rule, Europeans are more interested in the steak
than the sizzle.

Does your company trade on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)? You should list it on the International (London) Stock Exchange. Does your
company trade on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB)? You should carefully select one of Europe's risk-capital Stock Exchanges. Here are ten issues you should consider in selecting your European Stock Exchange.
1. Can you file in English?
2. Will the Exchange accept your SEC filings?
3. Where are the small capital investors? American companies
consistently miss a primary source of small capital investors allied to
each European Stock Exchange.
4. What will an Investor Relations program cost?
5. As your company grows, can you use your European OTC listing to list
your shares on a stronger European or American Stock Exchange?
6. How do you arrange a European listing? The financial culture of each
European Stock Exchange is different. There's an approved road to list your
company. You must know it to succeed.
7. What does it cost to list? How does that cost compare to listing on
Nasdaq or complying with SEC filing requirements?
8. Who can you trust?
9. How much of your stock will trade annually on this Stock Exchange?
10. How long will it take for your company to start trading?

Nasdaq is moving to consolidate U. S. Stock Exchanges, excepting
the NYSE. The German (Frankfurt) Stock Exchange has a similar plan for
Europe. Eventually, these two acquisition programs will merge. Currently
it's faster, cheaper and easier to list an American OTCBB company in Europe
than on Nasdaq. As European Stock Exchange consolidation progresses, this
may no longer be true. If your shares trade in the States, you should think
Europe in 1999.

African Aid

Africa, like everywhere else in the world, has its fair share of honest, intelligent; hardworking people who want to see their families have a better standard of living. Unfortunately, most of these people are living below the poverty line. The reasons that Africa, with all of its natural resources, is an economic basket case are complex. They start with the 16th Century Africans' failure to adopt an effective immigration policy. The result was the European immigrants divided up the continent without regard to historic tribal boundaries. The modern result has been tribal wars waged with modern weapons from the Sudan to Rwanda.
