Meet CenterPoint Securities, Broker To Your Favorite Traders

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Day traders like Humbled Trader, Madaz Money and Kristjan Kullamägi have an almost cult-like status among their followers even if their approaches differ. One thing they do have in common is their reliance on CenterPoint Securities to execute their trades. The brokerage, which just entered the Canadian market, is loved by many active traders, particularly those interested in complex trading strategies. Humbled Trader, for example, just ranked it best brokerage for shorting for those with large accounts (over $30,000). So what’s so great about this broker getting attention from your favorite traders? A lot, according to its fan base. A Fast And Reliable Trading Platform Take its advanced trading platform for starters. It offers active traders and investors a sophisticated trading screen that includes advanced charting, level 2 data and 30+ unique order routing options. It's a favorite with traders because of its specialized routes, smart routing technology and direct market access. It's fast, reliable and fully customizable, which is what active traders need. Large Inventory Of Hard-To-Borrow Stocks CenterPoint is designed for the serious trader. It is built from the ground up for active traders and investors, which is why its list of hard-to-borrow stocks is a big draw. These are stocks that traders want to short but find that borrowing the shares needed is difficult. It often means having a broker locate the shares which takes time and added fees. CenterPoint relies on its in-house stock loan desk along with multiple outside resources, giving traders multiple options. CenterPoint makes it easy, too. All you have to do is enter the ticker and number of shares to borrow, and the short locate tool does the work. If there are shares available, you will know how much it costs to borrow them before executing the trade. You don’t pay any fees unless you accept the locate. The hard-to-borrow list is updated daily as is its list of over 5,000 easy-to-borrow stocks. With both lists, traders have a lot of options to potentially make money. The locate tool is backed by an in-house securities lending team that’s skilled at finding hard-to-borrow stocks. CenterPoint also has over a decade of experience, which attracts active traders who want to deal with professionals. At CenterPoint, over 100 million shares are located monthly, and more than 20,000 locate orders are filled. The average order fill size is over 4,000. Experience Matters Being able to lend customers hard-to-borrow stocks is a big reason traders come, but that’s not the only reason they stay with the brokerage, which is backed by ClearStreet – the fintech with over $400 million in capital. CenterPoint has top-notch customer support that often gets accolades in reviews. The company requires only $30,000 to open an account and gives customers a 14-day free trial. You can test drive it without any upfront costs. CenterPoint may not offer commission-free trades, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t cheap. Commissions are as low as $0.001 per share. Locate fees vary by time, stock and how many shares are available. Active traders are also rewarded for trading – as trading volume increases, commission fees decrease. Every CenterPoint client is also eligible for the company’s locate discount program, with discounts of up to 30%. CenterPoint may not be for the casual trader, but active ones seem to be flocking to it thanks to its reputation for finding hard-to-borrow stocks, its advanced trading platform and competitive pricing. For those active investors looking to short a large variety of stocks, it can be just the tool they need. This post contains sponsored content.

Trust Stamp Has Presented A Viable Technology for The Alternative To Detention Market

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The incarceration industry capitalizes on the assumption that incarcerating people is necessary. This assumption has led to the establishment of detention facilities that sometimes prioritize financial gain over the welfare of detainees. While there may be instances where detention is necessary for national security or public safety reasons, it is important to recognize that more humane alternatives to detention exist. Trust Stamp Inc. (NASDAQ: IDAI) is working to create viable alternatives to detention facilities. The company specializes in trust and identity services used globally and has launched its new Tap-In Band TM as an alternative to detention. The Tap-In Band is a wrist-worn, tamper-resistant band that is hypoallergenic and equipped with NFC technology. This technology enables discrete check-ins and communication with people who are enrolled in community-based supervision programs. By using the GPS and NFC technology in a user's mobile phone, the Tap-In Band allows the user to verify their location and well-being. They can tap the band to their phone to gain direct access to a personalized web portal with messaging and other features. The use of the Tap-In Band also enhances facial biometric authentication, which uses the phone's camera. The band is tamper-proof, and Trust Stamp holds the patent covering multi-factor authentication using a band and biometric authentication. Unlike current ankle and wrist-worn technologies, the Tap-In Band does not have a battery. This removes concerns about battery failure and the inconvenience of charging. Additionally, the band doesn't contain GPS tracking technology, which can ease user apprehension about intrusive monitoring. If someone tries to remove the band, the band will permanently notify tampering, even if the band is competently repaired. The Tap-In Band also uses Trust Stamp's patented IT2 identity tokenization process, which allows users to biometrically authenticate without storing any biometric images or templates. Gareth N. Genner, Trust Stamp’s Chief Executive Officer shared, “The Tap-In Band is the result of three years of market discovery and development and is a game-changer. The band is battery-free and has a fitness band-styled design that provides secure authentication without imposing embarrassment or discomfort. We are not publicly releasing final images of the customizable aesthetic design but I will say that the Band is available in a variety of colors with optional design features that ensure that the underlying use-case is not obvious to an onlooker. The use of our IT 2 identity tokenization, combined with data flows that do not require any data to be received or processed by Trust Stamp or any other vendor, ensures that the legitimate privacy and safety concerns that are raised by legacy technologies are removed with the Tap-In Band. While the Tap-In Band can be used for continual monitoring programs, we believe that the highest and best use is to support programs that require scheduled or randomly triggered check-ins.” Alternative programs to detention, like Trust Stamp’s Tap-In Band, offer a more compassionate and cost-effective approach. Not only are these programs more humane, but they also provide significant savings to society. Instead of investing in expensive detention facilities, these programs offer affordable alternatives that allow individuals to remain in the community while their cases are being processed. These programs typically have a high success rate, ensuring compliance with proceedings while providing support and supervision. This post contains sponsored content.

Nearly A Third Of Japan’s 36 Million Seniors Are At Risk Of Aging Frailty – Could Lomecel-BTM, Longeveron’s (NASDAQ: LGVN) Cell Therapy Help?

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga Nations all over the world are getting older, but Japan is leading the charge, with nearly a third of its total population over 65 — making Japan the oldest society in the world. While longer lifespans are great news, the growing number of seniors is bringing increased attention to the issue of aging frailty and its impact on the quality of life in those lengthening golden years. As people age, it can be common for systems in the body to start declining, including a decline in muscle mass and a slowing down of the immune system. The cumulative effect of this and other age-related decline is sometimes referred to as aging frailty, and for people with aging frailty, there appears to be increased vulnerability to death or severe disability as a result of minor events like a fall or a mild infection, as well as increased risk of not surviving common surgeries that become increasingly needed as people age. Over the last few years, aging frailty has risen rapidly in Japan, from 11.5% of adults 65 and older in 2017 to over 17% today. Meanwhile, over 31% of Japanese seniors are pre-frail, meaning they meet one or more criteria for frailty and are at high risk of becoming frail in the next few years. To address this emerging crisis, Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN) is currently conducting clinical trials to evaluate Lomecel-B™, its off-the-shelf cell therapy candidate, as a potential treatment for aging frailty. Might Lomecel-B™ Help Target Underlying Causes Of Aging Frailty? Lomecel-B™ is made from medical signaling cells (MSCs) derived from the bone marrow of healthy adult donors. It is believed that MSCs travel to sites of damage or inflammation in the body and may promote cellular regeneration and repair. In a previous Phase 2b trial on aging frailty, a single intravenous (IV) infusion of Lomecel-B™ was shown to have improved the walking distance during a six-minute walk test after nine months. Another clinical trial is ongoing in Japan, with the first patient having been dosed in April, 2023. The trial will enroll approximately 45 patients who will be randomly split into three groups. One group will serve as the placebo-control group, while the other two will each receive either a low or high dose of Lomecel-B™ in a single infusion. If approved, Lomecel-B™ could become the first FDA-approved treatment in the United States for Aging-related Frailty on the market, filling an unmet need that appears likely to become more prevalent in the coming years.

Amid Economic Uncertainty, Businesses Are Looking For Services That Help Drive Growth – Givex Can Help

Benzinga

By Austin DeNoce, Benzinga In a landscape riddled with economic uncertainties that don’t seem to be eased by the Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary policy, inflation is sending shockwaves across industries, demanding adaptive business models. Various industries are grappling with the rippling effects of these economic changes, but some – due to the nature of their businesses – are better equipped to adapt than others. Amid this climate, Givex Corp.’s (OTCQX: GIVXF) (TSX: GIVX) SaaS model seems to exhibit meaningful signs of resilience, illustrating the company's ability to withstand the challenges of inflation and broader economic hardship. Givex's strength lies in its revenue stream. While inflation influences the purchasing power of money, it doesn’t necessarily alter the frequency with which businesses utilize services like the one Givex provides or the value these companies provide. But to understand this fully, we need to grasp the core of what Givex offers. The Givex Platform At A Glance Since its inception in 1999, Givex has established itself as a premier SaaS platform, concentrating on capturing intricate details of consumer-merchant transactions, be it in-store or online. This capability enables merchants to conduct business seamlessly and efficiently and provides them with invaluable insights into customer behavior. By understanding these patterns, businesses can refine their strategies, enhance offerings and ultimately, drive higher profits. Central to Givex's offerings are its omnichannel point-of-sale (POS) solution, gift card solutions, loyalty programs and more. All these services capitalize on the power of real-time data analysis. The platform's emphasis on capturing detailed customer interactions – pivotal in this data-driven era – provides businesses with a competitive edge. Additionally, Givex's robust infrastructure, backed by PCI Level 1 certification, ensures data reliability and security. The ability to seamlessly integrate with other systems further enhances its appeal to businesses seeking adaptability without sacrificing stability. Why Merchants Seem To Be Flocking To Givex Givex's success in attracting a wide array of merchants is made clear by its range of clientele and the holistic value it brings to businesses. Renowned brands like Marriott International (NASDAQ: MAR), Best Western, 7-Eleven, and Wendy's Company (NASDAQ: WEN) are just a few names in a growing list of enterprises that have found value in partnering with Givex. With its comprehensive tech solutions spanning gift cards and GivexPOS to loyalty programs and payment services, Givex is a catalyst for growth across countless sectors. Givex’s ability to capture detailed transactional insights could prove invaluable in a business landscape where understanding customer behavior is critical to success. Moreover, customers aiming to stay afloat during inflationary periods may view Givex as a much-needed tool for insight-driven improvement. In the face of economic fluctuations, businesses desire partners that can drive transformative change to combat challenges like inflation. And Givex, with its comprehensive suite and a track record of reliability, emerges as that crucial partner. Givex's Revenue Streams To offer clarity on exactly how Givex generates revenue, below is the company’s multifaceted business model: Recurring Revenue Streams: Monthly and regular recurring service fees are foundational to Givex's revenue structure. Transactional components, including card production and individual transaction fees, also contribute significantly. Digital And Online Services: Revenue is generated from online ordering platforms and affiliated applications. Managed services and associated development fees further improve this segment. Hardware And Technical Solutions: Hardware sales encompass a variety of equipment, ranging from POS systems to kiosks, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) and unattended retail units. Installation and support fees are levied for the seamless integration and upkeep of these solutions. Payments And Financial Services: Givex offers various payment and financial solutions, encompassing Merchant of Record services, GivexPay and GiftPass, each contributing to its revenue. This comprehensive approach ensures that Givex maintains a steady and diversified income stream, bolstering its financial resilience through economic rain or shine. Financial Durability Givex’s SaaS model, combined with its various revenue streams, helps to ensure a reliable cash flow. And the numbers would seem to support that – for Q2 2023, Givex showcased revenue growth of 15%, reaching $19.4 million and proving that even in inflationary climates, certain business strategies can thrive. The 20% growth in the Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) for the trailing twelve months (TTM) further solidifies Givex's position. The ARR's surge, increasing by $11.8 million to hit $71.1 million by June 2023, subtly underscores the company's ability to offer consistent value, even when the broader economy struggles. The company also reports that no single client brings in more than 2% of revenue – another indicator of resilience because it means that if one client does leave, it doesn’t have a very large impact. Furthermore, the company’s low client churn rate of less than 1% also highlights client trust and satisfaction; a trust that Givex can deliver effective solutions irrespective of economic headwinds. An Inflation-Resilient Anchor In Economic Uncertainty? In times of economic unpredictability, businesses seek stability and growth potential. Givex offers both. As inflation continues to influence various industries, Givex's SaaS model and its robust platform seem to demonstrate resilience and the promise of steady growth.

Evidence of Discrepancies, Misrepresentations, and Noncompliance with FCC Rules Calls FOX's Truthfulness with Regulator into Question

Media and Democracy Project

The Media and Democracy Project (MAD) has submitted a comprehensive response to the filing by Fox Television Stations (FTS), urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to compel FOX to turn over key discovery documents from recent litigation. MAD reiterated its belief that obtaining these documents is crucial for the FCC to evaluate the numerous character violations relevant to the broadcast license renewal application for the FOX Corp-owned television station FOX 29 Philadelphia (WTXF). The filing focused on dismantling FOX’s attempt to shield the questionable conduct of FOX executives and hosts from thorough examination by the FCC. FOX's opposition to releasing these materials is an attempt to hinder the Commission from conducting a full and transparent assessment of the company's deliberate and willful promotion of false election narratives, which had dire consequences for the country. FOX has labeled the request a "fishing expedition," disregarding the fact that the motion for documents seeks only to enhance the record for evaluating WTXF's license application. It is a routine practice that is common during an FCC license review. FOX argues that its alleged misconduct falls outside the scope of FCC character policy, therefore, the request for documents is irrelevant to its renewal application. This fails to appreciate the gravity of the actions taken by senior FOX leadership following the 2020 election that shock the conscience and are well within the scope of the Commission. FOX's assertion that granting evidence from shareholder lawsuits contradicts Delaware law is baseless. This law pertains specifically to shareholder requests and does not apply to a license renewal proceeding where the FCC makes the request. MAD's motion also requested information related to contracts between WTXF and political advertisers, as mandated by law to be filed with the FCC and made public. Rather than acknowledging any wrongdoing, FOX has chosen to double down on arguments made before the Commission that it did nothing wrong despite ample evidence of discrepancies, misrepresentations, and noncompliance to the contrary. This continues the pattern of mistruths noted by the judge in the Dominion case and demonstrates that FOX’s penchant for lies does not stop with its regulator. Access to nonpublic discovery material would further support what publicly available information has already established—that FOX and Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch lack the character required of public broadcast license trustees. Given that these documents have already been categorized, organized, and provided in various lawsuits, the FCC could request the same documents be provided to the petitioners with ease. A copy of MAD’s response to FTS can be found here. The Media and Democracy Project: MAD is a non-partisan, all-volunteer, grassroots organization focused on strengthening a free and independent media in the public interest. MAD aims to improve our national discourse so that American voters can engage in informed decision-making. As part of that goal, MAD has an interest in the responsibility of journalists and media to report fully, accurately, and fairly on the electoral process and the outcome of elections.

Navigating The Waves: Techberry's Social Analytical Trading Insight

Benzinga

By James Wells, Benzinga In the past, forex investors were frequently viewed as a select group who honed their skills through special training or contacts within the sector. However, forex investors are mostly self-taught and use social media to hone their talents. Today, a key component to being a good forex investor is social analysis, which brings together the knowledge, perceptions and suggestions of seasoned experts. Specialized social trading platforms have appeared in addition to well-known platforms like Facebook or Twitter. These online tools give users the chance to learn by emulating the trading methods of seasoned professionals. However, there are difficulties in the vast world of social analytics and copy trade. Navigating the forex market can be difficult due to the $7.5 trillion in daily trading volume, the large number of traders to keep track of and the complicated economic issues involved. Enter TechBerry, the link between profitable FX trading and social insights. TechBerry is a leader in the field of social automated trading and sifts through a variety of social data points. Since its introduction, its sophisticated AI algorithms have continuously provided investors with sharp strategies that have generated a notable 11.2% monthly return. These algorithms prioritize profitability and success likelihood.

Partnerships with respected third parties like FX Audit, FX Blue and MyFxbook – which guarantee data accuracy and dependable trade analysis – add to the platform's trustworthiness. TechBerry has continuously demonstrated a monthly return average of 11.2% since its launch in 2015, enabling many investors to navigate the difficulties of getting profit from FX trading more confidently. The Importance Of Social Analysis In Trading Social media provides immediate access to a wealth of information for international investors, but it also has pitfalls that might prevent profitable trading. The large, data-rich digital environment needs to be more cohesive and comprehensible to humans. Social media platforms can be rife with false information, which encourages traders to frequently follow the crowd. Because of this herd mentality, performance can suffer as a result of repeating techniques. In addition, inexperienced traders may ignore the seasoned knowledge and lessons necessary for consistent profitability if they are overconfident. The TechBerry Advantage TechBerry provides a solution by painstakingly examining social metrics. With its AI-focused methodology, traders are given insights that go beyond simple human judgment. TechBerry analyzes the trading methods of over 100,000 forex specialists to identify market biases, nuances and patterns that might go unnoticed by individual traders. This automatic skill creates customized trading strategies in line with the individual investing goals of each user. Additionally, a wide range of consumers can access passive income through TechBerry's platform. Even people who are new to forex can benefit from pre-configured strategies because of the platform’s sophisticated sociological research – reducing the requirement for in-depth trading knowledge to quite an extent. As a result, busy professionals can benefit from TechBerry's automatic features to ensure the best profitability without ongoing market monitoring. Striking The Balance: TechBerry's Pros And Cons Although TechBerry offers several standout features, examining areas where it may come short is equally crucial. Here is an overview of the pros and cons of TechBerry: Pros: Effortless Earnings: TechBerry supports the concept of passive income. Its automated trading system is made for people who prefer to take a set-it-and-forget-it approach and hand over control to the platform's algorithms. Proven Performance: TechBerry goes beyond making empty promises. Its record indicates steady profitability with a commendable average monthly return of 11.2% since 2015 and a trading losses reimbursement on trades that are guaranteed by insurance up to a limited amount. Intelligence At Work: The sophisticated AI-driven trading mechanism that powers TechBerry is at the platform's core. This guarantees that the software is discerning profitable trading opportunities rather than simply responding to market data. Cons: Autonomy Constraints: TechBerry excels in automation, but people who want manual control may find it to be a drawback. Decisions made by the platform based on its analysis may not always coincide with a trader's personal approach or gut feeling. TechBerry: The Future Of Forex Trading? TechBerry is a leader in utilizing social research in the forex market. It identifies the right potential trading chances by carefully analyzing massive amounts of trading data using AI algorithms. This simplified method assists both new and seasoned traders and positions them favorably in the fluid Forex market. This post contains sponsored content.

Find Those Hard-To-Borrow Stocks More Easily With Centerpoint.ca, The Service Helping Make Investing In US Markets Easier For Canadians

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga With interest rates still rising, a U.S. election on the horizon and an unpredictable job market, stock markets are volatile. That may spook some investors, but for more active traders, especially those residing in Canada, it could spell opportunity in good and bad times. By investing in U.S. stocks, Canadian investors are able to diversify geographically, access a variety of industries and access two markets that tend to outperform at different times. From 2002 to 2009 the Toronto Stock Exchange did better as the U.S. dealt with a deep recession. From 2011 to 2021 it was the Nasdaq’s turn to outperform. The divergence makes sense given that Canada’s stock market is weighted heavily with energy, financial and industrial stocks, while the U.S. stock market is more tech and communications-heavy. With U.S. stocks you also get access to some of the world’s biggest growth companies like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: APPL), Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), and stocks like Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) offer exposure to high-growth industries like AI. Of the world’s investable market, the U.S. accounts for nearly 60%. CenterPoint.ca Makes Access To U.S. Stocks Easier For Canadians When it comes to investing in U.S. stocks, active Canadian traders don’t have endless options. Especially if they want an extensive list of stocks they can short. CenterPoint Securities, backed by ClearStreet – the fintech with over $400 million in capital – is helping change that. Last month, it launched CenterPoint.ca, an advanced trading platform that gives active Canadian traders and investors access to U.S. stocks and options. CenterPoint made a name for itself in the U.S. among traders and investors who demand an extensive short inventory – and it's now bringing that to Canada. Short Trades Made Easy Your short trade is only as good as the amount of shares available to borrow. You don’t want to spend time setting up a trade only to not execute because of a lack of availability. To minimize that from happening, CenterPoint has an exhaustive list of over 5,000 easy-to-borrow stocks that are updated daily. For more experienced traders, CenterPoint grants access to hard-to-borrow stocks and locates. Shorting stocks that require a locate means they are much harder to secure. To get them investors often have to request a short locate with their broker, who then has to actively search for the shares. As a result, there are usually fees during the search and when the order is fulfilled. With CenterPoint, you don’t have that added step. Traders and investors can locate stocks to short directly from the trading platform. Simply enter the ticker and number of shares to borrow, and the short locate tool does the work. If the shares are available to locate, you’ll know exactly how much the fee will be so you can make an informed decision. With CenterPoint’s tool, you don’t pay any fees unless you accept the locate. Backed By In-House Securities Lending Team CenterPoint’s locate tool is backed by an in-house securities lending team that is skilled at finding hard-to-short stocks. At CenterPoint, over 100 million shares are located monthly, and more than 20,000 locate orders are filled. The average order fill size is over 4,000. Not many other brokerages, including ones entering the Canadian market, can say the same. Diversification isn’t only about investing in different sectors or asset classes, international exposure can also be a great diversification strategy. For active traders, CenterPoint.ca makes it easy to invest in one of the biggest stock markets in the world. This post contains sponsored content.
