Yard Warz: The Online Auction Site for Buying and Selling in Bulk

While there are auction-based websites available today, many of them offer single item sales only.

Baltimore, MD, August 13, 2012 - While there are auction-based websites available today, many of them offer single item sales only. The limited number of sites that do provide bulk sales only allow a purchase to go through at a predetermined price. And until recently, there was a gap in the market whereby individuals and businesses could post all of their items, from a garage sale, yard sale, business liquidation sale and more, as one unit in an auction.

Now there’s Yard Warz, a true auction-based site providing an easy-to-use, hassle-free service to buy and sell bundled merchandise where the final sale goes to the highest bidder. This gives buyers the opportunity to compete for great deals while sellers can earn top-dollar. Yard Warz does have a section for selling individual items for those who don’t have a bundle to sell. However, the site focuses primarily on selling bulk items, such as all items in a yard sale, business liquidation sale, and storage units, as a single item.

Yard Warz was inspired by the popular reality TV shows that have captured thousands of individuals and business owners bidding on bulk merchandise. After watching the show for months, Yard Warz creators and brothers, John and James Black, noticed that there were often many more bidders than there were storage units available. This led to them to think of options those buyers could utilize to offset units they lost to other bidders. This led to the idea that a yard sale could be looked at as a storage unit, without the four walls.

“There are thousands of yard, moving, garage, and liquidation sales across the country every day…our website caters to anyone who likes to buy in volume and those who want to liquidate merchandise by simply taking a photo and filling out some basic information,” said James Black, Managing Partner at Yard Warz.

Starting August 21st, the auction site will be running a promotion through the end of September that allows any new registered user who creates a listing of merchandise for sale to upgrade to a "Featured Listing" at no charge. Additionally, final sale commissions will be reduced from 10% to 5% no matter when the item sells, as long as the listing is created prior to September 30th. Items posted on the Yard Warz site will receive additional promotions through the company’s marketing channels to help increase exposure.

Yard Warz is a true online auction site designed specifically for people and businesses who have new, like-new, or usable items for sale and want to sell them in bulk to the highest bidder. For more information, go to the Yard Warz website at: http://yardwarz.com/ or to speak with James Black, call (443) 880-1868.

Zeek Rewards out of business

Dozens of people arrived at the company's headquarters throughout the afternoon on Thursday, only to find locked doors and confusion.

Provo, Utah, August 16, 2012 - Zeek Rewards out of business.

Paul Burks, chief executive officer of Rex Venture Group, could not be reached for comment. Dr. Clifton Jolley, the company's media representative, also could not be reached.

Details about the closing were conflicting on Thursday.

Dozens of people arrived at the company's headquarters throughout the afternoon on Thursday, only to find locked doors and confusion. The Dispatch spoke to about eight different people gathered outside at about 5 p.m., all of whom refused to comment on the situation.

One man, who said he was speaking on behalf of Zeek but wished to remain anonymous, said the building was being closed so Zeek could answer inquiries from the Attorney General, made in the form of a Civil Investigative Demand (CID). According to N.C. General Statutes, a CID is an administrative subpoena that can be issued by the Attorney General whenever there is reason to believe a person, or entity, has information that is relevant to an ongoing investigation.

The Attorney General's office could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
A Zeek Rewards affiliate, who refused to give his name, said he went to the company's headquarters at about 3 p.m. to conduct business, only to find the sign on the door stating the business was closed.

The affiliate said a Zeek employee changed the locks on the doors. He watched as another employee exited the back door, carrying a box full of office supplies, he said.

According to company officials, Zeekler.com has more than 200,000 retail bidders, domestic and abroad. It's unclear how many affiliates actually use Zeek Rewards, despite online reports that claim the number exceeds 700,000.

This is why I chose not to work with Zeek Rewards and chose to work with a solid company called Sisel International. I can show anyone how to go to a 6 figure residual income in 6 weeks with Sisel’s comp plan.

Property in Dubai still a strong investment option, says AAA

Smart investors from the growing economic power that is India are putting their cash into real estate in Dubai, in a move that could prove a sound alternative investment strategy, according to AAA.

Boston, MA, August 16, 2012 - Smart investors from the growing economic power that is India are putting their cash into real estate in Dubai, in a move that could prove a sound alternative investment strategy, according to Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The figures from the Real Estate Investment Promotion and Management Centre at the Dubai Land Department, since the laws on foreign buyers changed, investors from India have purchased 2,153 properties in the country. The second most avid foreign property buyers in Dubai are Pakistanis, who are responsible for the purchase of 1,814 properties.

In total some 12,875 properties, including land, apartments, villas and other properties, have been purchased by foreign buyers. Majida Ali Rashid, Chairwoman of the Real Estate Investment Promotion and Management Centre, said that real estate investment in Dubai is growing in strength once again, after falling out of favor for a period. She said, "The real estate sector performance is moving from strength to strength over the past two years. The market has been attracting more foreign investors, which reflects the solid national economy and its excellent growth potentials.”

British investors have also been very attractive in buying properties in Dubai, which continues to be a extremely popular vacation location for British holidaymakers. Brits have bought up an impressive 1,564 Dubai properties, and many will be hoping to make healthy returns form their investment when it’s time to sell.

AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, said that Dubai is looking like an attractive real estate investment prospect once more, following an uncertain period. He said, “Real estate investment is growing in popularity as investors look for alternative investment strategies away from riskier asset classes, like equities and bonds.

“More and more investors are looking for something tangible in exchange for their investments, and it’s easy to see why following the global economic crisis.”

AAA supports a wide range of alternative asset classes, including forestry investment through sustainable projects such as those run by Greenwood Management in Brazil.

New Report from Fund Architects Takes “Up Close and Personal” Look at The Chinese Investment Markets

Fund Architects LLC, a provider of dynamic asset allocation portfolios designed for a broad range of investors, has released a summary report on the current state of Chinese investment markets.

Heath, TX, August 16, 2012 - Fund Architects LLC, a provider of dynamic asset allocation portfolios designed for a broad range of investors, has released a summary report on the current state of Chinese investment markets.
 “A Conversation on China” is one of Fund Architects BLUEPRINTS FOR BETTER INVESTING series. The report was authored by the firm’s Chief Market Strategist, Dr. Henry Ma – a native of Southern China – who recently visited with executives at local banks and other financial institutions in mainland China to gain an ‘on-the-ground’ perspective of the country’s ongoing economic miracle.

With stops in virtually all the nation’s major economic and political centers across a four-week period, including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing, Dr. Ma brought back a timely point of view on the issues China is currently facing and how they might play into a global asset allocation strategy.

“China is facing a number of big challenges these days, and a global investor needs firsthand knowledge of these challenges if he or she intends to stay on top of returns,” says Keith Reed, co-founder and Executive Vice President of Fund Architects. “I can’t imagine anyone better equipped to analyze the state of the Chinese investment markets than Henry.”

Reed says that as a result of Dr. Ma’s comprehensive view of the marketplace, Fund Architects is able to allocate a distinct portion of its investment models to Chinese investments. In addition, the firm plans to introduce an Asian-only strategy to its lineup of strategic global diversification strategies some time this quarter.

Dr. Ma, who is a member of the Fund Architects Investment Committee, earned BA and MA degrees in Finance and Economics from Beijing University before coming to the U.S. He was awarded a Ph.D. in Economics from Boston University. Now a resident of Boston, Dr. Ma maintains a large circle friends and family in China.

“I’m convinced that on-the-ground insight into China is important to form a long-term investment thesis and gain conviction,” says Dr. Ma. “Newspapers and research reports too often have biased views from the authors.

For a copy of “A Conversation on China,” call Keith Reed at 866-539-4186.

Fund Architects is a discretionary, fee-based money management firm providing professional asset allocation models and management to financial advisory firms. Headquartered in Texas, the firm has arrangements with Broker/Dealers, Insurance Companies, Qualified Plan Providers, and Registered Investment Advisors around the country. Fund Architects’ proprietary asset allocation models are constructed from a broad universe of managers using a fundamental and quantitative analysis to conduct fund selection.

Investment expert joins FRA in promoting Green investments

Increasing green investments in asset classes such as forestry will help investors and will also help to boost the creation of a sustainable economy, according to an experts US-based money manager and FRA.

Bainbridge Island, WA, August 16, 2012 - Increasing green investments in asset classes such as forestry will help investors and will also help to boost the creation of a sustainable economy, according to an experts US-based money manager and Forestry Research Associates (FRA).

Quoted by KMS Baltic, Jeremy Grantham, the head of Boston-based investment firm GMO said that investing in green asset classes should be encouraged, In response, FRA, A research and analysis consultancy, has agreed, stating, “investing in sustainable forestry and other green asset classes can help developing countries to start to reap the benefits of a truly global sustainable economy.”

The statement from Mr Grantham came as part of a letter to his GMO clients last week. As a result of his views on the importance of green investments and the rising price of food, in particular, GMO is changing its focus to include around 15 per cent investment in forestry and agriculture land from now on.

His letter stated, "You can confidently expect that if resource prices steadily rise in real terms, then resource stocks should outperform the market.”

FRA’s analysis partner, Peter Collins, said that the increased use of materials like timber as a fuel is also a reason to invest more heavily in these resources. “As energy prices continue to rise and fossil fuels become more scarce, the demand for biomass energy, which include crops and wood chips, is bound to rise further and further. Investing in sustainable sources for these resources should pay dividends in the future.

FRAs support sustainable forestry investment through plantation projects such has the one run by Greenwood Management in Brazil. A growing number of investors are opting for forestry investments as demand for timber grows as a result of renewable energy demand and demand for timber as a construction material in China, India and other emerging economies.

Upcoming Meeting at Babson College Helps Baby Boomers Learn About Later-Life Entrepreneurship

Series of Meetings Address Why and How to Start a New Business

Boulder, CO, August 14, 2012 - The Center for Productive Longevity (CPL), which serves as the bridge between people 55 and older and opportunities that enable them to continue in productive activities, has organized a series of meetings titled, “Spotlight on Entrepreneurship Opportunities for Baby Boomers.” The second meeting of the series will be held at Babson College in Wellesley, MA, on Friday, September 14 from 7:45 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. To register and view the agenda, visit http://www.ctrpl.org/september-14-2012. Attendees must be 50 and older.

The meetings are designed to contribute to a national momentum for new-business creation, which will help Baby Boomers remain productively engaged while facilitating national economic growth. AARP and the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship are sponsors of the meeting, along with CPL and a number of other organizations.

Babson College is an excellent venue for this meeting because of its standing as a recognized global leader in entrepreneurship education. Babson has been ranked #1 in entrepreneurship education by U.S. News & World Report for the past 19 years. Boston has also recently received praise as a great place to live for older Americans. A report from the Milken Institute, a nonprofit think tank that analyzed 78 factors deemed to most affect seniors’ quality of life, just named Boston a top city for growing older.

“As the country navigates through troubled economic waters, the need to stimulate new business creation in a time of high unemployment and low economic growth becomes increasingly important,” stated Babson President, Leonard A. Schlesinger.  “For places like Boston, with an established and thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, the current economic climate creates a hotbed of opportunities for entrepreneurs. The ability of Boston’s entrepreneurs to capitalize on favorable conditions and start new ventures will not only result in more employment and economic growth for Massachusetts, but reduced country-wide unemployment and increased GDP.”

In addition to Mr. Schlesinger, Ralph Sorenson, past president of Babson College and founder of its Center for Entrepreneurship, will be a speaker. Successful entrepreneurs 50+ will also give presentations on what it takes to start a new business and to achieve success. The day will include two rounds of interactive breakout sessions on topics relating to new-business creation and on how to become an entrepreneur, including: risks and rewards of being an entrepreneur, strategies for identifying and selecting potential business opportunities, developing a business plan or business concept statement, and exploring funding support.

The meeting is limited to 125 participants on a first-come basis. The charge of $35 per person covers a spouse, if desired, and a post-meeting workshop on the “how-tos” of creating a new business. Registration must be made by September 1 at http://www.ctrpl.org/september-14-2012/registration.

The first meeting in the Spotlight on Entrepreneurship Opportunities for Baby Boomers series was held March 27 in Kansas City, MO at the Kauffman Foundation, a focal point for entrepreneurship in America, and attracted 95 participants. Written evaluations indicate that it was a successful event: 87 percent of the participants reported that it increased their awareness and understanding of the benefits and opportunities provided by entrepreneurship, and 97 percent stated they were now more likely to create a new business.

After the Babson College meeting on September 14, additional meetings will be held at Northwestern University/Kellogg School of Management in Chicago on October 11, and the University of Denver on November 15.
