Agency (CMGO) (OTCBB: ), www.cmgholdingsinc.com, a full service marketing communications company operating in the sectors of commercial rights, event management and talent and broadcast management, is pleased to announce that its Chairman and CEO, Alan Morell, served as advisor to Frogwater Media Executive Producer Tim Troke. Developed and produced by Frogwater Media from the prestigious Taste Award winning "Best Food Travel Web Series" (2009, 2010), the 13-part television series Chefs Run Wild makes it North American broadcast premiere on the specialty channel Travel+Escape. Chefs Run Wild's broadcast is timed to coincide with the network's re-launch on November 1 with a three-month national free preview and advertising campaign. "When I was pitched the series about three chefs (and best friends) from Winnipeg who decide to quit their jobs, travel for six months on $30 a day, I thought that sounds like a show we want! Chefs Run Wild brings great personalities and adventure to the Travel+Escape audience - a taste of what's ahead as we re-launch our schedule with over 300 hours of new acquired and commissioned content," says Marcia Martin, SVP Creative Content, Commissioned and In-House Production at GlassBOX Television. Three Canadian trained chefs, twin brothers Chad and Clayton Klyne together with fellow adventurer Lyndon Wiebe, travel across Southeast Asia to experience and document the culture, rituals and authentic regional dishes from Laos's spit-roasted lizard to a cobra heart 'Bloody Mary' served up in a shot glass. Not for the lily-livered or squeamish, viewing is recommended on an empty stomach! "We wanted to show Asia and all its beauty through a traveller's eye, and show the highs and lows of travel on a budget. We demonstrated that, through the simple act of preparing and sharing a meal, you can break down the barriers of culture, race and language. But it wasn't always easy," comments Chad Klyne. Chefs Run Wild heads to Toronto and into final production from September 6. The series is executive produced by Frogwater Media's Tim Troke. A cookbook featuring the chefs' favourite exotic recipes (alongside the westernized version) is currently in development under representation of CMG Holdings Group Inc. Creative Management Group Inc.

OTCBB vs. OTCQB

OTCBB vs. OTCQB
What you Need To Know 
A recent change to how SEC reporting issuers trade on the over-the-counter markets caused more than a little anxiety among those caught off guard. Until now, most small, fully-reporting issuers believed they were being listed exclusively on FINRA’s OTCBB®. However, unbeknownst to many OTC investors, there are many Fully-Reporting Issuers trading solely on what is commonly referred to as the “Pink Sheets”, owned and controlled by Pink OTC Markets, Inc. A restriction put in place in 2000, allowing only Fully-Reporting Issuers to trade on the OTCBB only reinforced this erroneous assumption, making it appear that they were the only OTC market where these securities could be quoted -- Not the case at all. 


In fact, 98% of all FINRA licensed market makers place quotations on both the OTCBB AND on the Pink Sheet platform. Superior performance and functionality along with lower costs associated with Pink OTC versus the platform provided for OTCBB® trading by FINRA have further led many market makers to remove quotation of securities from the OTCBB platform, altogether, causing some 500 securities to be automatically "delisted" to the Pink Sheets even though they were current with their reporting obligations with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 


On April 5, 2010, Pink OTC created a new marketplace called the OTCQB, in an effort to assist investors in distinguishing Pink Sheet traded securities that are Fully Reporting Issuers from non-reporting issuers, while allowing recently delisted OTCBB® securities to get the 
recognition that, while now trading solely on the Pink Sheets, are current with their obligations under the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and are in good standing with the SEC with regards to these obligations. 


This new OTCQB marketplace will ensure that investors know that Pink OTC has many Fully-Reporting Issuers approved for trading solely on the Pink OTC platform. In the future, as long as the issuer is listed with the Pink Sheets and is current in its reporting, it will be designated as an OTCQB security. If a company is late in its reporting requirements, it would be dropped to the designation of Pink Sheets –Current Information (see link below for Pink Sheet tier system). Once current again with the SEC, the Issuer will be moved immediately back to the OTCQB marketplace. 


As an interesting side note, FINRA recently has been trying to dump the OTCBB. Seems they are tiring of keeping up with it, considering their main gig as a quasi governmental organization set up to monitor and regulate SEC licensed brokerage firms and representatives, and to maintain the entire NASDAQ system! 


In short, it may take awhile for investors and Issuers to come to the conclusion there is no real difference between an OTCBB® listed security and a Fully Reporting Issuer trading on the Pink Sheets now under the OTCQB designation. The recent move by many market makers to pull quotes on the OTCBB® platform causing a mass delisting to the Pink Sheets may be a precursor to the end of the importance of being listed on the OTCBB®. As the old saying goes, will the last person to leave the OTCBB® turn out the lights!

WASHINGTON (AP) - The global output of heat-trapping carbon dioxide jumped by the biggest amount on record, the U.S. Department of Energy calculated, a sign of how feeble the world's efforts are at slowing man-made global warming. | The new figures for 2010 mean that levels of greenhouse gases are higher than the worst case scenario outlined by climate experts just four years ago.

GAM Holding AG reports underlying net profit of CHF 202.2 million for 2010, up 35% year-on-year

01 Mar 2011
Zurich, 1 March 2011

Assets under management of CHF 117.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4%.
Strong net new money inflows of CHF 8.0 billion, on the back of continuing product diversification and broadening of distribution channels.
Underlying net profit of CHF 202.2 million, up 35% year-on-year[1].
Strong capitalisation, with tangible equity of CHF 1.07 billion. Investment in organic growth and search for targeted, accretive acquisitions ongoing.
Proposed dividend of CHF 0.50 per share: intended to be paid from contributed capital reserves, making it tax-efficient for shareholders.
Cancellation of 5% of outstanding shares repurchased under 2010 buy-back programme, to be approved at 2011 Annual General Meeting.
New three-year share buy-back programme proposed for 2011 to replace current one: repurchase and cancellation of up to 20% of current shares in issue, subject to regulatory and shareholder approval.
Assets under management for the Group grew by CHF 4.2 billion (4%) to CHF 117.8 billion[2] as at 31 December 2010. This growth was driven principally by strong net new money inflows of CHF 8.0 billion[2], supported by positive market performance. However, since the Group's assets under management are reported in Swiss francs, the weakening of the US dollar and the euro reduced these gains by CHF 9.1 billion.

Commenting on the Group's development in 2010, Chairman and CEO Johannes A. de Gier said: "Our first full year of independence was marked by solid results. This underscores the growth potential offered by our business model, and I am very pleased with the accomplishments of our operating businesses."

Net new money - GAM

GAM recorded net inflows of CHF 5.9 billion, a strong turn-around from the net outflows of CHF 4.2 billion experienced in 2009. Substantial net inflows were recorded into its fixed income range, including the funds GAM sub-advises for Swiss & Global Asset Management. While inflows into these fixed income absolute return products were somewhat slower in the second half of the year, inflows into its emerging markets strategies and its Asian and US equity products picked up considerably as the year progressed.
Strong contributors to net new money inflows included GAM's single manager absolute return UCITS III products. This highlights GAM's ability to capitalise on the ongoing shift in private client demand away from the historically dominant offshore structures towards investments that are regulated, liquid and offer a more favourable tax treatment. GAM has been dedicating its skills and experience in selecting investment talent to the permanent expansion of its range of onshore funds, drawing on both in-house and external managers. This will enable it to continue to benefit from the trend towards onshore investing in 2011 and thereafter.

In contrast to private clients, institutional investors continue to demonstrate strong interest in funds of hedge funds and are set to become the largest client group in GAM's multi-manager business. Benefiting from its proven risk and liquidity management, GAM achieved considerable mandate wins in the institutional segment in 2010 - especially for alternative strategies with a low correlation to equity markets - and has established a solid pipeline of business for 2011.

GAM's assets under management reached CHF 53.6 billion as at 31 December 2010, an increase of CHF 2.6 billion or 5% on year-end 2009.

Net new money - Swiss & Global Asset Management

Net new money inflows at Swiss & Global Asset Management rose 23% year-on-year and totalled CHF 9.7 billion. The greatest contributors to net new money, particularly in the first half of the year, were the fixed income funds sub-advised by GAM and distributed by Swiss & Global Asset Management. The physical precious metal fund range also continued to attract client assets, while inflows into equity funds remained muted throughout 2010.

Inflows from institutional clients, in particular in Germany, Chile and Peru, offset the closure of smaller mandates in Switzerland, resulting from efforts to reposition the business to focus on growth regions and on clients with a real interest in active investment management.
