Welcome to GEI-N, Global Edge Investor's Networking area.


Investors chatboard, and Networking in HK, NZ, London

Newcomers can learn about the GEI website on this thread.

Thanks for visiting here.

:

I am M--- H---, the founder of GlobalEdgeInvestors (GEI), and I post here on the website as "DrBubb."

You may have noticed that the website does double duty (actually, triple duty!) The Main function is as a place for GEI's existing global membership to discuss news items, and their impact upon investment markets. You can see the "larger" GEI website in action, at http://www.GreenEnergyInvestors.com . The second duty (in its GEI-N mode) is to act as a forum for people based in Hong Kong ( and maybe soon in NZ, and London ) to build a social and business network. In contrast with GEI's main function as an online forum, GEI-N is also for those who like to meet face-to-face.

GEI's roots are in the UK.
Many of our original members met on a property-related website called HousePriceCrash. co.uk But that proved too narrow a focus. We launched GEI initially as GreenEnergyInvestors, and the idea was to discuss news items related to alternative energy, and strategies for investing in Green Energy stocks. But the renewables niche was slow to develop. So 2 1/2 years ago the discussions were widened out to discuss things like precious metals investing, the dollar, and vulnerabilities in the global economy. Then, we acquired a second domain name, www.GlobalEdgeInvestors.com, and pointed it to the same chatboard. The range of postings here and the popularity of GEI has expanded greatly over time. As we introduce GEI-N, we have almost 2,000 members on GEI, with people active from all over the world.


Some areas of GEI outside this GEI-N section that you may want to investigate include:

We also hope that you will discuss your businesses, and your ideas for new business opportunities on GEI-N. I believe we will see some big opportunities in the area of alternative energy, electricity storage, and energy efficiency. Hong Kong is likely to grow in new ways, and experience some growth in areas outside of FIRE (Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate) and we would like to think that HK's new entrpreneurs can find a happy home on GEI-N, the Networking section of GEI. That's where you are now! (Of course, these sorts of businesses will grow in other areas too, like New Zealand, and within the UK.

Please join the discussions here! And better yet, start a thread or two on topics that interest you, and that way we will have a better sense of what you want from GEI. We are still partly a "blank sheet of paper", and your postings will help determine the way in which GEI and GEI-N will grow.

My own thought is that we will move towards organising some events in Hong Kong - and later in NZ and the UK, and we may also help people to investigate new business opportunities. Please contribute your own ideas and opinions.

WHO POSTS on GEI? - Have a look at our Poll, and please contribute too
===================
We have recently set up a poll of GEI members, to learn more about the Demographics of people who visit our site as members.

Link : GEI Demographics Poll #1

Over time, we think this may change somewhat, and we will havbe more people who join GEI for business networking, and want to get involved in face-to-face meeting. This is the purpose of this section, GEI-N, the networking section, to encourage that type of growth. This activity may start slow (as is normally the case), but I look for it to get bigger and better over time.



You will find the following in my PERSONAL PROFILE, under "interests":
==============================================

Trading and investing in stocks and commodities. Writing articles on related subjects, while building this website.

I am interested in creating ways for communities to boost their business activities within the membership, using concepts like barter and community currencies. Local and web based communities may be a key means of surviving a long economic downturn. In a challenging environment, the principle of karma works within a community, by building a culture of generousity. (In other words, if you act according to the principle: "do onto others as you would have them do onto you" within a community, others may learn from your behaviour and copy it.)
