The Wall Street Fraud Watchdog is warning investors worldwide to be very careful of what Wall Street calls cash equivalents, such as failed, frozen, or devalued auction rate securities, products like Schwab Yield Plus and or a product sold by TD Ameritrade called Reverse Yield Plus. According to the group,"if you were sold one of these products, and your investment was devalued, or frozen, we want to hear from you. While we are on the topic, we are warning all investors to have your broker or bank investment advisor confirm in writing that your US tax free municipal bonds or VRDN's are 100% safe. We do think a US stock broker or bank investment advisor will put in writing that the US tax free Muni is 100% safe. We expect the US Municipal Market to crash in 2009, because of dramatic declines in US property tax & retail sales tax revenues." Investors or victims can contact Americas Watchdog's Wall Street Fraud Watchdog anytime at 866-714-6466, or visit their web site at Http://WallStreetFraudWatchdog.Com for more information.

The European card acquiring market is the second largest regional market in the world with significant upside as consumers increasingly use cards for their daily purchases and emerging card markets continue to grow. However, the acquiring market is fragmented as most countries remain largely separated. Different domestic debit card networks, market and rules, membership requirements, technical standards, fee structures, among other factors, have made it very difficult for acquirers to expand into different countries. The separation of country acquiring markets also doesn't help in creating a big enough market to achieve higher level of economies of scale for pan-European acquirers. There is limited space for non-bank acquirers and ISOs/MSPs to operate in Europe except in a couple of countries such as the U.K., as European banks tend to do all the acquiring businesses in-house.

Supply chain management has proven to boost business performance and profitability. By making operational adjustments a business can increase their earnings per share as much as 20%. Financial supply chain deals with the business' cash flow up and down the supply chain. Businesses are shifting their attention to inefficient payments processing and adopting new strategies to maximize working capital and speed up cash flow. At each step of a supply chain life cycle there are buy/sell transactions. A manufacturer needs to purchase raw material to produce their product. Their product is a component of a much larger solution purchased directly or indirectly through a distributor. Finally, the finished solution is sold to the end user. Each buy/sell transaction is part of a procurement-to-pay process that affects the buyer's and seller's cash flow. Any disruption potentially slows down the process and affects the entire cycle and impacts cash flow. (PRWeb Nov 20, 2008)
