On your comment of the merits/demerits of the current spate of capital raising, my opinion is that it is good for the economy.
As long as these monies are captured in the productive sector or service based sectors to reposition these companies to provide/produce superior and world class services/products. These monies before now will normally make their ways to foreign capital markets or trapped as deposits in banks. You are right that the effect should be looked into but this will be difficult because of our lack of statistics. In the interim, better capital raising regulation and change of attitude in short term nature of people participating. On RELTEL, we will keep our ears to the ground |

Well, everyone of us like it when we could put our money in these PPs and Public offers but do the respective authorities monitor the companies and their top men to ensure the funds are spent well?

by law PP are not to be advertise, but you must agree with me that there is a form of indirect advert, a company will grant interview to talk on general matter and ultimately mentioned something abt the plan to do PP, really it is still invitation to close associate, but the reach is wider now with more investors becoming aware of investment, like it or not it shld be regulated |

forum moderator i respect your views but am sorry to say that whether advertised or not the authorities have no business regulating private placements if you like you can advertise it! PP placements are investment opportunities that have inherently higher risk, I would expect everybody in this forum to undrstand their is a risk factor associated with every investment. we just want to make the returns without undertanding the risks involed, am in the US and am studying business, everywhere in the world PP placement is very risky and its not regulated you cannot be telling somewhere what to invest in and where to invest it but you can warn them like the SEC have already done, warning people that they are not responsible for these pps so if you buy it you buy it at your own risk. PPs are usually business that are in conceptual stage so evrybody knows there is a higher risk, if it works you make heavy returns ifit doesnt you loose it all. I notice people use their salary and buy PPs because they are greedy for higher returns no matter the risk and then they start wanting regulations and assurances as regards their money in PPs. u can eat ur cake and have it. PPs are meant for high risk takers , the money u invest in PP u are supposed to write it off because it has a high % of making 0 returns. so people usually invest extra money they just want to take very high risk with in PP not their salary from a bank or a comapany they work at and then they turn around and invite regulatory protection. If you need regulatory protection then there is the IPOs from AIT, Standard alliance etc for you cos their prospectus are supposedly vetted by SEC. so their claims are supposed to be fairly accurate. most PPs are guess and assumptions that very optimistic cos they want to sell that idea. e.g ifyou bough some of these PPs like Universal insurance, IGI, union diagnostics, acorn. you are putting ur trust in an unvetted managment and proposals. what if they they dont run the business the way u want?thats risk.
so when people are investing in PPs they need to understand what they are getting into. else they shoul play it safe and invest their hard earned money in IPOs and the secondary market with companys with AAA rating. |

everybody, even the ones that doesnt invest understand that there is risk attached to every investment. if you read thomas friedman book on the world is flat, u will see that from country to country, the laws and regulation guiding business establishment differ, which am sure you know, for you to continue to stay in business you might have to do things a little bit differently. a totally unregulated system will only open up avenue for smart guys to invade the system, and if left without been checked, it will chase new investor from coming in. if both of us are fully aware of the risk involve in private placement investment, what those that does not and also want to invest?

I can definitively tell you that RELTEL is in the works. As of today, I am informed it is two weeks away. I have been in touch with some actors in the process. I am also informed that the target audience will be coporate bodies which I guess will be something not very far from the Starcomms example we are currently seeing.

Made contacts in Reltel, and can confirm that the deal is in the works, and will soon start. Understand only two people in the company are privy to the deal - the Chairman, who is a Senator, and one other Manager.
Na wa-o! These guys are keeping everything very close to thier chest. This one should be as juicy as Starcomms. Last edited by Etubom : 5th April 2008 at 09:53 PM. Reason: Typo error |
