Pre-Launching BSCS
Inc.'s Official Headquarters and Web Portal
In the next six months,
on December 20, 2016, the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria, will be declared
the enabling locale for citing the official Headquarters of Bold Step
Capital Securities Inc.'s hubs in Africa.
The special location
will be mentioned on the eve of the opening ceremony to mark the beginning of
the pre-launching awareness event to be kicked-off two weeks prior to the day
of the launching of BSCS Inc
The event will announce
its local presence as an innovative and very powerful capital market investment
accelerator, second to none in Africa.
The first part of the
awareness event will be the launching of the official website of BSCS Inc which will be hosted to
function as the credential of the web presence of BSCS Inc.
The official web portal
will be an open membership site for corporate and individual securities
investors in Africa to own a unique log-in ID that will give them access to all
the resources of BSCS Inc.
The membership area of
the site is for both public and private corporations to register into the
database where they will receive updates on all press releases announcing
upcoming events.
It will create a
competitive networking platform for public and private issuers looking to find
investors from all African countries, staged in one bootcamp setting, to be
organized by BSCS Inc.
The bootcamp will be the
functional purpose of the event which encompasses an African Capital Security
Economic Summit to be planned by BSCS Inc's Economic Summit Committee and
implemented on platform of BSCS Inc.
The committee will not
only be responsible for planning but of also inviting delegates from registered
issuers, whose participation will be by the sponsorship of their management to
support.
The bootcamp event will
be hosted at a designated location in Africa, until the first exhibition center
of BSCS Inc will be commissioned for
prospective events to take place at the venue of the proprietary exhibition
event centre.
To boost the bragging
right of the local presence of BSCS
Inc as a giant independent capital securities investment accelerator in Africa,
the post-commissioned exhibition centre, will be the first of its kind in
Africa.
The exhibition centre
will par with the Wall Street trading floor of the American Capital Market.
Hosting the event of the
delegate-sponsored bootcamp is a way of achieving this purpose, to give the
African capital market a real sense of autonomy and operational independence.
As soon as the official
web portal of BSCS Inc is launched,
the time to the first bootcamp event will start counting down to the due date.
The event start time
will be made visible on the website so that all new members registering on the
site will be immediately informed of the upcoming event and be required to read
the terms and conditions, features and benefits of the event before registering
since they are invited to plan to participate actively in it.
More so, once the site
is launched, we anticipate approximately 1 to 10 daily membership registrations
of the signatories.
Qualified signatories to
the hot stock trading list will sponsor the bootcamp and the prize for the
trading winner will be from the registration fee of other corporate prospective
participants.
Participation will be by
online application to express interest in making the first exhibitions to be
hosted on the official platform designated for the first event in Africa.
The Mission Statement
of BSCS Inc
BSCS Inc sets out on a mission to help Africa achieve economic
emancipation from the shackles of capital insecurities by harnessing its
capital securities investment potentials on a created platform where securities
investors and public companies can network annually.
During networking, the issuers
will exhibit their stocks on the exhibition platform for the investors to
choose where to invest, right there, while the show is ongoing, before the end
of the countdown of the stocks exhibition show time.
This is innovative
because for the first time all African Stocks will be exhibited on a common
African Stock Exchange platform, not the usual regional stock-exchange but a
continent-wide stock exchange bootcamp worth the time of every investor, a primary
and a secondary capital market, public and private issuer on the
continent.
It will be the biggest
and most effective trading event on the continent; where millions of stocks
will be bought and sold from participants at the live show of stock auctioning,
on the trade floor, during countdown time.
On the one hand of the
trade floor will be event centre for lives invest and public issuers networking,
and on the other hand of the online market will be the collaborative virtual
trade platform where millions of informed Africans will be tracked while picking
their stocks online and buying them as the stocks are pitched live.
This platform created by
BSCS Inc will be the biggest annual
economic networking and engagement event featuring the best among the rest of
business minded Africans.
And to add to the
bragging profile of BSCS Inc, the
once-in-a-year event will be previewed live on BSCS Press TV showing the event live for all Africans to access on
cable and online channels.
This will be the only
show all Africans will sit to watch with a compelling urge to take prompt
action at once, every once-in-a-year.
The Technicality of the BSCS
Annual Bootcamp
The economic strength of
Africa will be honed on this event as trillions of dollars will be exchanged on
the trading floor of the capital market bootcamp.
The bootcamp will be
organized and hosted by BSCS Inc. It
is an event all African businessmen and women will look up to every year.
Every issuer that cannot
declare its stance on the event, as an economic pilot in Africa, will be
considered a second place option for African Investors to support.
As important as the
event would be, it would be affordable for participants to ensure there is no
excuse for any issuer of credible public offering to be absent.
Every issuer in Africa
will be given an equal chance to make exhibitions of its stock and annual
yields on the only platform where every African investor will stay nosy for the
best and safest of stocks to invest in, as well as bond options to choose.
Choice will be made by
investors from among issuers who have got a competitive track record of
investors’ safety and guaranteed ROI. This will be honed on the bootcamp
exhibition show.
Any genuine security
quoted on the stock exchange in every African country will be expected by its
investors to come live on the show to hoist the flag of its confidence as a
competitive security in Africa.
The BSCS Inc trading floor will be very competitive, and the trading
process will be very transparent so that every trustworthy security will be
demanded by its investors to come to trade on the bootcamp platform for all
investors on the continent to see it.
This will encourage a
commitment to social responsibility from securities in Africa that should be
the horn of sustainable development in the continent.
In this light, any
security that doesn't appear on the BSCS
Trading
Trusted African Securities List (TAS List), to be compiled by BSCS Inc, after due diligence, will be
considered unwilling to declare its assets transparently, hence not worthy of
the trust of its investors.
Since the price of
participation will be very affordable for all securities to participate in the
exhibition event, all participants will be required to submit a pitch deck and
short video of their Investment Trust Edge (ITE).
The prospectus of the
issuers ITE will be reviewed by the BSCS Investment Trust Board (ITB), two
months before the event, and those who pass the Trust Review Criteria (TRC)
will be issued an Acknowledgement of Trust (AOT), as a badge to be added to the
first and last page of their pitch deck.
Only Issuers with an AOT
badge will be qualified to get an invitation to make stock exhibition on the
trading floor, using their vetted pitch decks
Moreover, prior to the
start of the exhibition countdown time, the TAS list of Issuers and their
verified net worth will be released and aired on the BSCS Press TV and also on Exhibition screen.
All potential investors
on the continent will be able to and choose their preferred securities once the
TAS List is published and aired.
The publication and
airing of the TAS list will help investors to start making their stocks buying decisions.
Investors viewing the
TAS list will make a pullout list of which securities to support and which safe
stocks to buy during the declaration of the start of the countdown continental
stock trading time on the BSCS Trading
Floor.
Once the trading time
starts counting, investors will be required to start picking their stocks, by
way of registering their personal details and name their securities with the
units of stocks they will buy on the show.
To manage time
responsibly, all investors will be required to have registered ahead of the
event, for a log-in ID with which they will submit their detail to the database
using their PCs of smart devices ahead of the event.
Once trading time starts
counting down, exhibitions will be made, and each security will be allotted a
specific exhibition time according to the number of its stocks registered for
the show.
Furthermore, as each
stock is exhibited, the time limit will appear at the left side of the screen,
and the algorithm of tracked number of investors clicking yes & buy, from
all around the continent, will seen counting across the right hand side of the
screen’s footer.
Each stock will stay on
the screen until the runtime for the stock’s exhibition elapses, before another
stock starts also on the same pace, until all the trusted securities have
exhibited their stocks during their countdown stock trading time.
The winner of the trade
will be announced in five minutes after stocks have been bought digitally.
The winner will be the
security with the highest number of investors buying a single stock, and if a
particular security has a number of stocks, the average number of the investors
saying yes to all its stocks and buying them from different parts of Africa will
be compared with the number of investors buying the stocks of other securities.
The trading floor will
close, once the winner has been announced as the Most Trusted Security of the Year
(MTSY), receiving a bragging award and cash prize to support its stocks.
The process is thus
transparent and anchored on the pillars of trust for every issuer in the
capital market in Africa.
Africa will thus be the
first continent to implement the Trust Edge theory in the stock market.
Trading Stocks on the BSCS
Trading Virtual Platform
The stocks will be
bought in a simple digitized way. Participating investors will not only submit
their details prior to the event, but have BSCS
online investment account, with which they are able to make immediate payment
for every stock they say yes to.
Investors will be able
to choose the number of units of stock they can afford, seeing the cost of each
unit of stock they are buying.
Investors will make
their judgment on their security preferences based on the profile of the
securities owning the stock, and since the stocks have their aired time
displayed on the securities profile, following after the airing of the TAS
list, the investors will be able to book the time for the stocks they will buy.
The trading show is for
every issuer with a registered ID. The ID is given based on payments made to
use the BSCS online stock trading software.
There will be no delay
in the trade once the due time for each stock arrives. The investors who would
have credited their investment account based on the list they have made for
their stock purchase, will start saying click yes and buy during the stock’s
exhibition run time.
Once the runtime for a
particular stock elapses, the trading buttons will be deactivated on that
particular stock.
As the time elapses
everyone watching the show on the trading floor, aired online and on the Press
TV will immediately know that the time has ended, and the algorithm of total
stocks sold will highlighted as well as its total worth in US dollars displayed
under it.
There will be a short
break before the start time of the next stock will shown counting down to its
trading commencement before counting down to its end of trade, when the same
results will be displayed.
The time interval
between the end of one stock’s exhibition runtime and start of another stock’s
runtime will be sufficient to allow the owners of the stocks to receive the
check for its total stock exchange. That is the role of delegates from each
issuer sponsoring the event.
The trade is transparent
so that everyone can be a judge recording transaction results.
Since investors have had
enough time to prepare for the buying of shares using their mobile devices and PCs,
having had access to the information about each security and its profile of
stocks, it is believed that their buying decisions are made before the trading
time, so they can easily trade at the time of show for each stock.
The runtime for each
stock will equal the time for the stock’s trading buttons to stay active, prior
to and after the stocks trading time, the buttons will be de-activated, hence
will be active only from the start of the particular stocks runtime to the end
of its run time.
The Billing Process for
Stocks Traded on the BSCS Online Trading System
All transactions made
will be by automated online billing. A single trading account meant solely for
the annual bootcamp trading of exhibited stocks on the competitive platform
will be used for billing all investors.
Investors will use their
normal trading account registered on the BSCS website, but to trade the
exhibited stocks, a new log-in id is required where the registration will be
fee based. That will be billed by a different account called BSCS
Bootcamp Registration Account (BRA).
The registration for the
bootcamp issuers on the TAS list will be billed by the BRA, when generating
their login as required after they’ve been issued the AOT badge, in order for
their stocks to be traded on the BSCS Online
Trading Software (OTS).
Hence, all users of the
OTS will receive a unique log-in ID generated after confirmation of their registration
for the trade either as buyers or sellers.
The issuers will
register for the sellers account and be billed as sellers, while the investors
will register for the buyers account and be billed as buyers. This billing is
only for access to the members online BSCS Bootcamp Trading Site (BTS).
The BTS login ID isn’t a
ticket for the event itself. It is only a login requirement for traders only.
None traders and traders who are interested in attending the event at the
trading floor will apply online, submitting their particulars for
identification and tagging, and a custom generated ticket with a unique number
will be issued them, on confirmation of receipt their payment by an automated
billing process.
The billing for ticket
application will be by a different account known as BSCS Bootcamp Trading Floor
Ticket Account (BTFTA), this will account for all tickets sold to participants
attending the live event from different parts of Africa.
The application will be
charged differently by the same account, as issuers will apply for ticket to
participate as issuers, interested exhibitors will apply for ticket as
exhibitor completing their applications at once by answering all the screening
questions and attaching all required documents. Investors will also apply for
ticket as investors coming for trade on the floor.
All seats on the trading
floor will be tagged for issuers, exhibitors, and investors respectively, with
smart devices fixed on each having a monitor with soft touch functionality and
internet access so that those with BTS login on the floor can trade while
seated on the floor, using the devices available.
Application for the
annual boot camp will stay open all through the year. Exhibitors are private
companies who have newly gone public and do not meet the requirements of
competing as issuers on the trade floor but seek recognition.
Any exhibitor
automatically qualifies to compete among issuers on the year of its fourth
exhibition on the trading floor. Issuers are qualified to compete on the basis
of their track records of quotation on the stock exchange of their respective
countries.
A company that has never
been quoted on the stock exchange cannot compete among issuers unless it has
made four annual exhibitions in the bootcamp and has been known to have shown
an impressive process of continuous growth in three consecutive years.
It can then apply as an
issuer on the fourth year, while making a roundup exhibition for to back up its
prospectus, as an exhibitor on transition to an issuer, receiving all other
credits of trading as other issuers with BTS issuer’s login ID.
The year of transition
goes with a special accolade to the new issuers, getting the attention they
deserve as issuers and issued the AOT badge on the event of the summit prior to
commencement of trade.
Becoming an Issuer Trading on
the BTS
Featuring as an issuer in
the trading process is some sort of achievement for every issuer, the
incentives are really overwhelming. As a stock for the trade is profiled during
countdown exhibition the security gets a continent-wide recognition that meets
the right investors looking for safe and secure stocks to trade on the trading
floor.
All stocks could be sold
on a single event, if the security has been profiled among securities on the
ATS list. This makes the process of a public offering easy and competitive to
encourage private companies with the capacity to go public to nosedive into an
Initial public offering.
BSCS Inc creates the
right platform for successful IPOs to find the right investors on a single day,
by merely participating at the bootcamp. There has never been an opportunity
like this in Africa.
The bootcamp is in
concord with the aim of BSCS Inc to help Africa achieve economic emancipation
by harnessing its capital market securities investment potentials, on a created
