Facebook Stock Exchange
California startup Loyal3 is planning to launch an application on Facebook in April, with the help of which it will be possible to buy shares directly from companies, including a non-integer number of shares. The minimum refill amount is $ 10, and for this money you can buy, for example, 1.95% of one share of Google (if it agrees to participate in the program).
The intermediary (broker) represented by Loyal3 will not take any remuneration from private investors for buying or selling securities.
Each Facebook user will be able to install the Loyal3 application from himself and buy in two ways: a one-time purchase or a monthly purchase of selected shares for a certain amount: $ 10, $ 25, $ 50, etc., up to $ 2500 per month. Payments are made from a plastic card. Support for Facebook loans (Facebook's internal currency), as in regular games, as well as other loyalty programs, such as discounts for regular customers, is currently being discussed.
The functionality of the program provides that the shares can not only be bought, but also sold. The money from the sale goes directly to the bank account of the seller, from which it is required to fill out several forms and indicate, including the social insurance number (for paying taxes). Based on this, it can be assumed that it will not be so easy to sell shares to non-US citizens.

On the Facebook application page there will be complete statistics on the portfolio, including its current value. We repeat, for ordinary users, all these brokerage services will be absolutely free.
Loyal3 is making money on the corporations whose stocks they are going to sell. For them, the service is positioned as an extension of the loyal user base. It is known that a loyal consumer owning shares spends an average of 54% more on the purchase of company goods. Thus, the expansion of the number of small shareholders can be very profitable for the company.
It is also known that small private investors tend to sell stocks much less frequently than large investment funds and professional market players. Individuals buy stocks rather "for the soul" than for speculation. It turns out that an increase in the shareholder base will also have a favorable effect on the course volatility.
As you can see, for corporations some advantages, so that they may well agree to buy Level3 services. The conditions are as follows: the company must trade on the stock exchange for at least a year and have shares worth at least $ 70 million in circulation. You can sell via Facebook either the open part of the shares (which is already on the market) or closed shares.
