"We are incredibly excited by our growth these last two quarters. The market has seen a paradigm shift in investment strategy and unparalleled challenges for those seeking liquidity and needed credit," stated President and CEO John J. Barry IV. "Our firm is agile enough to easily exploit the opportunities and continue to resolve our position in the market as a growing player. We are seeing what I believe to be the beginning pattern of consistent growth for revenues, trade volume and account acquisitions. Our October result of over $251,000 in revenue is a demonstration of how well our business model has been accepted by the market especially in these difficult times. We are encouraged for more expansive growth in the future as we focus on expanding our prospecting of accounts into other target market segments, which have yet to be presented with our value proposition. We see no limit in sight for the expansion opportunities with BondStation and our new platform CDStation."
