Learn how to raise your company's first million legally without going public! Millions of people around the globe have something they want to bring into the world... if only that something could be financed. Although venture capital and banking paradigms seem to have taken over the scene for raising money and structuring large funding is expensive, there is a wonderful SEC regulation for raising private money that has remained a well kept secret. It's called Regulation D. Regulation D is an instrument that allows anyone to raise money legally for the first million dollars without having to go public or spend vast amounts of money getting started without having to only engage sophisticated investors. Over the years, this vehicle has been used by those in the know, but very few people who are raising money know about Regulation D offerings 504 and 506 and how to legally raise money for their venture, solution, or product with this mechanism. We invited Ken Hollowell (http://www.regd504.com) of Profran Consultants to share his 25 years of experience raising money using Reg D 504 structures. Anyone that wants to raise the first funds for a venture should tune in to this show! Back to Show Archive (http://itsrainmakingtime.com/category/shows/) Help this segment go viral.

Gary Kinder (http://www.kinderlegal.com), the author of Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea (http://www.amazon.com/Ship-Gold-Deep-Blue-Sea/dp/080214425X/ref=sr_1_1/186-9977487-4681802?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1272123672&sr=1-1), joins us to discuss one of the most fascinating stories and scientific discoveries of this century. Here's what the book describes as a part of history, discovery, and adventure: In September 1857, the SS Central America, a side-wheel steamer carrying nearly six hundred passengers returning from the California Gold Rush, was caught in a hurricane two hundred miles off the Carolina coast. Despite the heroic efforts of Captain William Herndon and his crew, the ship and over four hundred lives and twenty-one tons of California gold were lost. It was the worst peacetime disaster at sea in American history. In a riveting narrative that combines historical adventure and scientific discovery, Gary Kinder re-creates the ill-fated voyage, and then tells the incredible story of a young engineer from Ohio, Tommy Thompson, who in the 1980s set out to find the wreck of the Central America and salvage its treasure almost two miles down on the ocean floor. Kinder chronicles Thompson's epic quest for the lost vessel, an enterprise marked by hair-raising weather, the hostility of the deep ocean at eight thousand feet, highly experimental technology, and unscrupulous rival treasure hunters. The result is an extraordinary tale of the human drama, heroic rescue, scientific ingenuity, and individual courage.

A few weeks ago I interviewed Scott Patterson (http://scottpattersonreports.com) who wrote the New York Times bestseller The Quants. We covered quite a bit of ground in that interview (http://itsrainmakingtime.com/2010/scottpatterson/); I thought I was done with the subject until I read Ellen Brown's (http://www.webofdebt.com) new article called "Computerized Front Running, Another Goldman Dominated Fraud" (http://www.webofdebt.com/articles/computerized_front_running.php). We were obviously tracking something similar, but Ellen had been interviewed on Max Keiser (http://maxkeiser.com/about) only to find out through her conversation with Max that he had filed a special patent years ago to do something beneficial with financial markets. Apparently, the powers that be in the financial arena filed new patents to turn his patent into a new breed of trading called high-frequency trading. This now gives rise to new questions and thought-provoking discussions about whether free markets exist - and, if they don't, what it will take to bring them back. Ellen Brown, author of Web Of Debt, (http://www.webofdebt.com) returns to the show to share new findings and insights with us and to discuss whether free markets still exist.

Get ready for a shocking account of the math wizards behind high-frequency trading, which is poised to dangerously alter economies and entire industries in milliseconds. "The Quants" (http://scottpattersonreports.com) believe that differential calculus, quantum physics, and advanced geometry hold the key to reaping riches from the financial markets. They are responsible for helping create a digitized money-trading machine that shifts billions of dollars around the globe with the click of a mouse. It's hard to fathom an upper atmosphere of finance in which traders have this level of impact, but it exists. Scott Patterson (http://scottpattersonreports.com), Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/home-page) staff reporter and author of The Quants, tells us how he discovered this universe of transactions, explains the degree of its power to manipulate finances, and identifies the players involved.

Barter is a method of exchanging goods and services without using cash that has existed since ancient times. Nowadays, the public is likely to perceive barter as illegal, antiquated, or irrelevant. However, you might be surprised to find out that barter is not only legal and recognized by the IRS coding system, but that it is the basis for an entire industrial matrix that is available to anyone that is interested in participating. Barter is a dynamic financial system of trade for those who are willing to do business outside the box of the current financial paradigm. Join us as Ron Whitney, the executive director of the International Reciprocal Trade Association (http://irta.com) (IRTA), and American Commerce Exchange (http://www.acxbarter.com/index.php) (ACX) president Mark Tracy share fascinating insights into the world of barter. IRTA (http://irta.com) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting just and equitable standards of practice and operation within the modern trade and barter and other Alternative Capital Systems Industry, by raising the awareness and value of these processes to the entire Global Community. ACX (http://www.acxbarter.com/index.php) offers an innovative way for businesses to market their excess products and services. Rather than one-on-one barter, members become part of an organization system, whereby they have access to a wide range of talents and products in exchange for their own services and inventory.
