HedgeLender's Stock-Secured Loan Services

Business at HedgeLender is usually good in bull markets too, (since people often seek to get maximum cash from their stocks while retaining an interest in the shares, and feel good doing so in an “up“ trending mark). Our HedgeLoan stock loan business falls more often a bit in a stagnant or slightly down market. But when the market tumbles dramatically as it did during the first weeks of October 2008, HedgeLoan becomes a very attractive solution. Depending on the performance of your collateral, your purchase price at outset, and personal tax-related considerations (which must be determined only through a licensed tax professional), HedgeLender can be an excellent option to cash liquidity.

There is opportunity, but opportunity undertaken only with care and an understanding that compliance must undergirds every action in the financial services industry.

WORLDCOM CUSTOMERS: WHAT TO DO?

Bottom line... Don't panic! You are NOT going to have your service interrupted. Of course, most of MCI's long distance plans are over priced anyway, when you factor-in their monthly service charges. So, if it takes a scare like this to make you start comparing rates, go right ahead. We would not advise making any hasty decisions out of fear of losing service though.
