excerpt from article: AN INVESTMENT COMMUNITY IS DEVELOPING IN THE U.K. The most successful U.S. internet companies were funded by venture capital, in a world-renowned friendly investment environment in California. The U.K. is now getting in on the act. Fletcher applauds initiatives such as First Tuesday, a regular social gathering of investors and entrepreneurs, which brings the right people together. Attending the events is also uplifting, as it is clear that the UK is developing a set of people ripe to take forward a home-grown internet industry. The fact that the Financial Times saw fit to feature the event, and McKinsey (the consulting firm) has chosen to sponsor it, shows that these things are moving in the right direction. Here is Fortunecity: UK STRUCTURES DO NOT ENCOURAGE VENTURE CAPITALISTS AND OTHER INVESTORS TO INVEST IN SEED AND START-UP HI-TECH COMPANIES *** But there are still obstacles in the way of investment take-off. Nicholas Lovell, the Deutsche Bank investment banker who recently floated FortuneCity (an internet community site), on the German Neuer Markt, says that UK venture capitalists are avoiding seed and small companies as investment opportunities. This is because they are denied what they crave the most -- a straightforward exit option to market when their stakes have acquired value.*** One reason is that the UK's weak AIM smaller companies index, unlike the US Nasdaq or German Neuer Markt, is not aimed at high-tech, high-growth or even new companies but merely small ones.

Jacalyn:<<Bill check out this link, fortunecity is part of xstream in UK - in April it was placed on the German exchange>> Ah yes, The Deaner/UPTICK show is on again. First they've added Profitpicks.com to the "conspiracy." Second we have the claim Fortunecity is a part of X-Stream and it is being listed separately on the German exchange. That must mean these conspirators are trading different parts of X-Stream on different exchanges and XSNI is some other "part" of X-stream that we don't know about. Problem is Fortunecity is NOT a subsidiary of X-Stream. I wish it was as it looks like it is quite valuable. So, please J & U {Jacalyn & UPTICK} prove me wrong. Prove to me Fortunecity is a subsidiary of X-Stream because if you can you have just INCREASED the value of X-Stream many times over. While you're at it prove to me Profitpicks has any association with XSNI in any manner.
