Subject: Bankers Organize PRIVATE Stock Market, Wall Street Left to
Con-Men & Suckers
Banks to Offer Private-Stock Trading

Five of Wall Street’s biggest banks, including Citigroup, Lehman
Brothers and Merrill Lynch, said yesterday that they were setting
up a system to trade privately placed stocks.
The group, which also includes the underwriter Morgan Stanley and
Bank of New York Mellon, said the system would start operating in
September. It will serve companies looking to raise capital without
the scrutiny given to publicly listed companies.
The platform, the Open Platform for Unregistered Securities, or
Opus-5, would be an alternative to those introduced by Goldman
Sachs and JPMorgan Chase.
Bear Stearns announced yesterday that it had started a similar
platform, Best Markets.
These platforms are open only to big money managers already dealing
in private stock and debt transactions.
Today, Nasdaq Stock Market is to introduce its own platform for
private securities, Portal, which could supersede the bank-run
systems.
