Arvana Inc. (AVNI)

VNDM

A tried to do a little quick research on VNDM. From a reputable source, I got this:

"Vandham Securities was founded in 1990. This market makers specializes in small cap and illiquid securities as well as makes markets in all major exchanges and U.S. options markets."

That certainly fits the profile of AVNI.

It's hard to find legit info on them. Here is a good description corroborating the above quote:

http://www.financialbrowsers.com/articles/Stock-Brokers_13707.html

Vandham Securities Corp is a member of NASD, the National Association of Securities Dealers. NASD is a self-regulatory organization of the securities industry responsible for the operation and regulation of the NASDQ stock market and over the counter markets. It also administrates exams for the investments professionals, such as the series of 7 exams.

The Company was founded in 1990; and was faced with the enormous task of distinguishing itself among the many thousands of broker or dealers claiming to provide exceptional service to the institutional investment community. Not unlike others before them, they had a vision of a service-oriented broker or dealer, able to deliver highly personalized service in a reliable and professional manner. Their goal was to apply their 'hands on' management style to create a unique blend of seasoned investment professionals and 'hi-tech' oriented industry newcomers. Such a merger was necessary if they were to properly service their existing client relationships and build new ones.

At inception, Vandham was primarily engaged in institutional sales, trading and market making. Since then, they have greatly expanded in each of these areas as well as added a significant soft-dollar sales department providing third party research and enhanced their trading technology.

Their team of experienced professionals is extremely sensitive to the needs of their clients. They are proud to service their customers with a combination of the old and the new. They use their collective knowledge of the markets to execute trades in line with their customers' requirements. They take into account the many different parameters of a trade -speed, market impact, liquidity, volatility and market movements to name but a few -and they determine the best venues for bringing the order to the market.Vandham simplifies soft dollar and directed brokerage arrangements.

Vandham remains one of the best kept secrets in an industry where clients often require anonymity. Vigilant attention to client needs involves many aspects of the client-broker relationship. A vast network of executing brokers helps to complete the ingredients needed for a quality trade execution. In short, no customer or order is the same and every customer and order is valuable.


At otcmarkets, they are listed with several pages of secrutities they represent. AVNI is on the list, and it's one of several.

In the investment chat community, they have a bad reputation for manipulation and "dilution." But I discount all of that as hearsay. I can't find a legitimate source. I'm not falsifying their claims, just discounting them. Unless it's a credible source with good supporting evidence, I wont' consider it. The human race is notorious for seeing patterns that are completely random. Behavior in casinos can verify this. So, I need peer review and I can't find anything at this time.

They have no website that I can find and don't make a case for themselves anywhere. Although, my research was really fast, skimming, and limited in its scope.

My ruling: Innocense. Just a market maker on AVNI. Whatever their motives are, they gave me some cheaper shares, which is what I wanted.
