- Published 09/12/2009
TORONTO, April 2009 – CTA Firm
Genuine Trading Solutions Sign Strategic Partnership Agreement With Leading
Environmental Credit Brokerage and Climate Change Consulting firm Karbone.
Genuine Trading Solutions President and CEO, Dwayne Strocen and Karbone
Executive Director Izzet Bensusan announced today a Strategic Partnership
agreement. "The two companies will
be pooling their resources to provide an enhanced product line of services to
existing as well as future emitters of CO2 carbon emissions. The conception for this Strategic
Partnership is in response to calls from North American customers to provide a
more integrated service" says Mr. Strocen.
Working in a positive
approach with Karbone to provide an enhanced service of OTC environmental
credit brokerage is a step to providing greater integration of service in the
form of both trading and managing risk.
In working together, both companies can now provide a greater range of
expertise to a largely fragmented industry.
Mr. Bensusan says "We
believe the marriage of the OTC market and the exchange traded market is the
natural evolution of a fledgling industry". And he adds "Our
partnership will allow us to much better serve both of our US and Canadian
customers with an expanded service line and local knowledge"
Recent meetings between the leaders of Canada and
the United States has brought a renewed response and positive reaction to a
national commitment for the reduction of greenhouse gases
in North America. Although specifics
were not mentioned, it seems clear that government mandated regulation is not
far off. Taking a significant step
forward to pre-empt government regulation will place this company as a leading
edge provider in support of the Kyoto Protocol, the Regional Greenhouse Gas
Initiative, Western Climate Initiative and the Specified Gas Emitters
Regulation of Alberta.
"We are pleased to
extend our expertise into this exciting marketplace and believe the real winner
is the carbon industry as it evolves to the ever changing demands of its
participants", says Dwayne Strocen, Genuine Trading Solutions President
and CEO.

Noble Manhattan’s Weight Loss Programme offers permanent solutions for weight gain
- By Gerard ODonovan
- Published 06/22/2009
Noble Manhattan,
the leading life coaching institute in Europe offers the unique weight
loss programme which promises a permanent solution to weight problems.
Announcing this to the press, Mr. Gerard O’ Donovan
the CEO of Noble Manhattan said that weight gain is a major problem for
people Worldwide and Noble Manhattan has launched this unique programme
developed by two of the renowned personalities in the sphere of life
coaching. Mr. O’Donovan, together with Di McLanachan, a Master Neuro
Linguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner have designed this unique
programme. It is a 12 step programme which will be administered by
qualified coaches which helps people to get over excessive eating
habits.
The weight loss programme of Noble Manhattan is a holistic, cost effective method of achieving weight loss goals. It is noticeable nowadays that people check out the calories present in food items before buying them from the supermarket shelves. While there is nothing wrong with the practice it becomes an impediment to the normal eating habits of many people. It also puts an increased cost on the shopping bill because low calorie diets have a higher price tag. Weight gain can be controlled even without putting a plug on food habits. This is precisely how Noble Manhattan has designed its Weight Loss programme. Coaching allows individuals to choose which healthy eating options suit their lifestyle best or the exercise that they prefer to practice. This is different from other programmes which involve rigorous exercises or excessive diet controls. The Weight Loss Programme of Noble Manhattan will address the psychological factor of weight gain. The weight loss happens in stages and does not involve any risks.
The programme focuses on mind shift therapy. People who undergo this programme will find a definite change in their psychology towards food intake and the way they lead their lives. At the end of the 12 step programme, people will see tangible results in terms of weight reduction and the intangible factor of shift in their mindset toward food habits. Mind shift therapy works around the food habits of a person rather than the symptoms ensuring permanent solution to weight problems. This programme helps people to relive their lives without spending boatloads of money on low calorie diet foods and expensive gym memberships. After all, very few people would be truly interested in going through a rigorous exercise regime and eating few selective low calorie diets.
Noble Manhattan’s experienced coaches deliver the Weight Loss coaching programme with great dedication. The coaches of Noble Manhattan are well trained in the Weight Loss programme. They help individuals towards a creating positive mind shift regarding their eating habits which last a lifetime. The programme ensures that no money is wasted on faddy diets or activities chosen on a whim. People who have undergone this programme have spoken about the change in their lives. Noble Manhattan as one of the leading life coaching institutes in Europe and many other parts of the world attaches a great deal of importance to the feedback provided by people who have completed the training programme. Mr. O’Donovan said that more research is being done to improve the programme with the latest mind shift therapy techniques. He expressed hope that people across the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe will benefit tremendously from the Weight Loss coaching programme of Noble Manhattan.

Launch Of CO2 Carbon Emissions Trading Announced by CTA Firm, Genuine Trading Solutions
- By Dwayne Strocen
- Published 03/13/2009
TORONTO, Canada January 2009 – Carbon Emissions CO2 Trading Launched By CTA Firm Genuine Trading Solutions.
Genuine Trading
Solutions President and CEO, Dwayne Strocen said today "The Kyoto Protocol
and Asia-Pacific Partnership On Clean
Development And Climate (APP) has taken center stage on bringing awareness to
global warming. In response to
compelling corporate demand, we have mandated a trading and hedging initiative
to support our role as leaders in risk management for the international
marketplace. The mandate for trading
carbon CO2 emissions
is clearly in response to global demand with sound conviction the timing of
this launch will be well received."
In addition to working closely with companies to manage their emission output levels, Genuine Trading Solutions expects shortly to be announcing the launch of a CO2 Carbon Emission fund. In conjunction with key partners including the Eurex exchange, the company expects to stimulate new areas of growth by taking a firm lead in this exciting field of development. Working with Eurex is inspiring where we have seen trading growth steadily increase. October holds the new record month for Eurex with 16.666 million tonnes of CO2 trading volume.
It has been widely known that the leading signatory countries account for the greatest amount of CO2 Carbon Emission output. The European Union (EU) has demonstrated that a committed focus by both responsible government agencies and committed corporate leadership has resulted in a positive response to a truly global crisis.
Positive recent comments by President-Elect Obama and Canada's Prime Minster Stephen Harper have demonstrated renewed commitment to a North American solution to climate change. Whether we see a cap-and-trade program modeled after the EU program, or creation of an environmental tax, the outcome is yet to be decided. The public is however, expecting a committed response by these two leaders.
The use of emission credits is a complex one. Many older established companies are forced to spend considerable sums of money modernizing plants. In many instances this takes time, usually years to achieve. In contrast to new generation technologies which are not faced with up-grading facilities to comply with 1990 emission standards. Trading emission credits is a way for low emission companies such as wind farms to sell credits to benefit higher emitting companies. Trading programs ultimately aid in being a net benefit to the host country by enabling it to meet it's commitment to the APP and Kyoto Protocol Agreement.
"We are pleased to extend our expertise into this exciting field of growth and share in the success of our international client base who clearly wish to be pro-active and not wait for government mandated action", says Dwayne Strocen,- President and CEO

Commodity Trading Advisor CTA Genuine Trading Solutions Announces Risk Management Solution
- By Dwayne Strocen
- Published 03/13/2009
TORONTO, Canada Feb 2008 -- CTA firm Genuine Trading Solutions announces an enhanced product line from traditional trading services performed by majority of CTA's.
Genuine Trading Solutions President and CEO, Dwayne Strocen said today "The financial services industry is constantly adapting to a changing world climate. The collection of hedge funds, pension funds, trusts, endowments and corporations throughout North America and the world are adapting to the more sophisticated demands of their unit holders by including risk management analytics to their equity and fixed income portfolios."
It has been widely known that while the largest institutions employ their own traders and risk management departments, most funds employ outside trading specialists to aid in fund diversification. The fund manager looks for specialist trading styles, expecting the Portfolio Manager to integrate risk management solutions to off-set unexpected market and currency issues.
Experience has taught us that due to the Portfolio Managers inability to
consistently remain in the top quartile, fund managers are increasingly taking control of these risk requirements on an aggregate of their fund assets. The onset of this epiphany leads to the question of where to turn for help.
There is no shortage of risk specialists and no shortage of traders. Now Genuine Trading Solutions is announcing a turn key solution to both the identification and analytics for determining the risk threat but also the execution of the subsequent risk off-set, known as a hedge.
Hedging is a term used to refer to the process of reducing risk brought about by unexpected liabilities. Derivatives, either exchange traded or over the counter "OTC" are commonly used in reducing or eliminating this risk. The use of derivatives is regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). As such, registered CTA firms such as ours provide a vital service in the analytics and execution of derivative products for either capital gain or eliminating risk.
President and CEO, Dwayne Strocen, says the most common services requested are inter-connected to Market Risk. Usually liabilities related to adverse market conditions such as equity, fixed income, or interest rates are of greatest concern to financial firms. Next, commodity basis hedging is often requested to preserve gains in areas such as energy products, precious metals, agriculture and many other products. Operational Risk is next with currency or foreign exchange being the primary source of uncertainty for companies. These can be capital projects, overseas branch office salaries paid in foreign denominated currency. Purchase of goods in one currency and sales of finished product in another.
"We are pleased to extend our expertise into this exciting field of growth and share in the success of our international client base", says Dwayne Strocen,- President and CEO
