Be careful with people who move often. Swindlers have to move every two or three years because of complaints torepparttar local Better Business Bureau and County District Attorney's Consumer Affairs Office. Call both of these agencies. Queryrepparttar 112487 complains department. This should be your policy for anywhererepparttar 112488 person may have lived forrepparttar 112489 past ten years.

If your company is a startup, be wary of anyone willing to help you raise risk capital from investors. A useful test is to have a business associate contactrepparttar 112490 professional you are considering using. Have your friend seekrepparttar 112491 professional's help for an unsound project. Ifrepparttar 112492 professional is willing to work with your business associate's unsound project, be careful. Inrepparttar 112493 equity finance industry, anyone who will do any deal at all, regardless of its quality is either stupid or a crook.

There are private investigators that specialize in researching business services and individuals. If you have any reason to questionrepparttar 112494 qualifications, ethics, or experience of anyone you may consider relying upon, use one of these business investigative firms.

be starting as a money-losing business. Spreading jobs increases costs. 3. They must delist at leastrepparttar flagrant scams fromrepparttar 112486 new stock exchange. This meansrepparttar 112487 CDN will see most of its stocks delisted. The CDN brokers won't be happy. 4. Listing costs are lowest for CDN companies and highest for VSE companies. Currently, VSE listing costs exceedrepparttar 112488 cost of listing onrepparttar 112489 American Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). Listing costs onrepparttar 112490 Western Exchange must be even higher to carry allrepparttar 112491 bureaucrats added from Alberta and Ontario. The New Western Exchange will price itself beyondrepparttar 112492 means ofrepparttar 112493 companies it hopes to attract. 5. The Internet offers a LEGAL and inexpensive alternative torepparttar 112494 Western Exchange. Seerepparttar 112495 Capital Funds Group Website [http://www.capitalfundsgroup.com]. The listing competition for sound risk capital companies will get worse inrepparttar 112496 next few years. 6. Changingrepparttar 112497 regulations doesn't mean makingrepparttar 112498 system honest. Since 1984,repparttar 112499 VSE regulations have changed often. The scams persist. The VSE has been unwilling to weed out its dishonest members. The crooks will controlrepparttar 112500 new stock exchange, as they currently controlrepparttar 112501 VSE. 7. Under British Columbia Law, residents can't trade stocks through brokerage firms outside Canada. I suspect that this Provincial Law exists in every Canadian Province. This law violates NAFTA. The problem forrepparttar 112502 New Western Exchange is thatrepparttar 112503 Canadian shareholders of their listed companies can't sell their shares inrepparttar 112504 States or Europe. The non-Canadian broker would violaterepparttar 112505 Canadian Provincial Law by trading in Western Exchange stocks. Without a foreign "aftermarket" for their stock, what Canadian will buyrepparttar 112506 stock?

I'll take my lead onrepparttar 112507 New Western Canadian Stock Exchange from William Shakespeare. "An outhouse by any other name will still smell."
