Global Stock eXchange took its first step into the rough waters of the global financial sector in February of 2010 as a mini move that calls for further action to bring the exchange closer to maturity. The exchange has been set up to operate in the revolutionary global jurisdiction of The Republic of Earth, which itself is selling its shares to the public on the exchange. Currently there are 12 companies listed on the stock exchange including Global Stock eXchange itself but we hope to increase this number soon. The main reasons why we need to raise the $9400 is to do three things: a) to enable the company site to offer online account keeping of who owns what shares b) to enable the company site to address dividend distributions c) to conduct some search engine optimization. Hope This sounds good to you. If you have any questions as to the nature of the business etc., please be sure to contact me!
