Hello, I am new here. I am engaged in a Regulation A+ IPO, where the money in stocks is really made. Most of what I see here is Regulation D stock, the old way of trading and making money on stocks.
Last year the SEC formalized the Reg. A+ stock program. I would like to tell you about it. Reg. A+ is a public stock with full SEC regulation and oversight, fully audited and quarterly reports, the works. It is different that Reg. D in how it is sold and purchased.
Reg D stock is sold on exchanges and typically through brokers and underwriters, it is considered the 'candy' of Wall street with an emphasis on on accredited investors. Reg.A is the Obama JOBs Act version, no accreditation needed, anyone can it buy direct from the company issuing the stock, sell directly to anyone you want to. Quite a remarkable approach, no middle men, no fees or commissions, a full public stock.
It takes about a year for a company to get authorization to sell and the law is only a year old so there are only a few companies who are selling it now, but that will change rapidly.
If you want to know more about send me a note and I will tell where you can find some remarkable FAQs about this new-new way of making money on stocks. This is very cool stuff you should learn about if you really want to make money with stocks.
