Showcase your financial assets like real estate, business, collectibles and other investments, and find investors to finance them. Get wider exposure and find investors before you start planning to offer to sell debt or equity in your assets. For posting on this website, we assume each asset has 100 equal shares.
Please read our advice below on how to post and please ensure that your postings comply with the applicable securities laws.
If you're a potential investor, use our search panel above to find assets.
Contact each other, deal, and buy, sell and swap directly as principals. This website only takes postings and does not broker or execute any trade or transaction.
This website facilitates posting details of individual financial assets, and communicating and networking among owners of these assets and their representatives free of any charges.
The postings can be made for just showcasing the assets, showcasing them with an intent to sell them or their shares/securities now or in the near future and/or showcasing them to play virtual games with them.
- Complying with the applicable securities laws and with appropriate legal and financial advice, monetize and capitalize all your businesses and personal financial assets -- faster, easier and more efficiently and profitably than ever before -- by selling or swapping shares in them, in any number from 1 to 100 (entire asset).
- For monetizing personal financial assets, in the US you can form single-asset corporations/entities (like a LLC/LP/Trust) for individual assets and sell shares/interests in them. This way you can use these legal entities not only to manage and protect your assets but also to finance them in a wide variety of ways, with limited liability
- Monetize your primary residence while retaining full and exclusive use and possession. [To find out more about selling shares in homes, please visit our wiki]
- Raise capital for your businesses, ventures and start-ups. Showcase them and instead of contacting only a few investors, reach out to all.
- Sign up for free, log in and register your asset for free by creating an asset details page for it through providing some details.
- The asset details page is the same for all assets, for all types of assets incorporated or not incorporated, for offering to sell no share, some shares or all 100 shares (entire assets), and for both initial offerings (of shares not sold before) and secondary offerings (of shares sold before).
- On the asset details page, state whether you may sell any share (optional), the number of shares from 0-100 you may sell (optional) and your (asking) price per share, if any (optional). See sample. Get offers. Find potential investors, partners and buyers.
- If you're looking to buy and invest, find shares for sale through our search panel above by using the two fields "Selling Shares" and "Share Price". Or view all assets being showcased by using the "Asset Type", "Main Category", "Category" and the Location (keywords) fields. Contact asset owners, principals or representatives directly, present your offers, if any, and deal directly.
- Instead of buying with and selling for cash, you can also exchange shares with each other to eliminate the need for cash and paying the cost of acquiring cash.
- You can also buy assets, including homes, with partners and investors to reduce your costs up front.
- By using this free website, you incur no obligation to sell or buy.
*PLEASE NOTE: For offering to sell and for selling LESS than all 100 shares in your asset (less than the entire asset and the entire ownership interests in the asset), you must comply with the federal and state securities laws in the US and the applicable securities laws in your area if outside the US.
Please consult your attorneys and qualified financial/investment advisors before contemplating selling and posting your offer to sell an ownership interest which is less than that of the entire asset -- less than all 100 shares in your assets. (Please visit our "Resources" page here.) You must register them as securities before posting your offer to sell them.
HOW TO POST:
- If your entire asset is not an unregistered security, you can post an offer to sell ALL 100 shares in your asset (the entire asset and the entire ownership interests in the asset).
- Or, you can say "None" or "0" to "Number of shares I may sell" and "No" to "May sell real shares" (as opposed to real shares, we also have virtual shares for our virtual trading games). If you enter a "Price per share" for your asset, it will be found through search according to its share price. If you do not enter a price per share, your asset will be found through search by its main category, category, sub-category and location.
- You can change the number of shares you want to sell, your price per share and your mind about selling anytime. Please ensure that you comply with the applicable securities laws when doing so, and receive appropriate legal and financial advice.
If your entire asset is an unregistered security, you must comply with the federal and state securities laws in the US and the applicable securities laws in your area if outside the US for posting your offer to sell and for selling it -- all or less than all 100 shares.
Securities deemed exempt from registration are, however, not exempt from laws against securities fraud.
Financial assets here include all real estate including homes, all businesses, all art, antiques and collectibles, and all OTC products and private contracts.
- Complying with the applicable securities laws and with appropriate legal and financial advice, cash out your investments in your assets without selling your entire assets or taking out loans.
- Raise capital for your businesses, ventures and start-ups.
- Increase the value of your assets by making them faster, easier and more profitable to trade through smaller ownership units instead of just one large full-ownership unit.
- Instead of buying with and selling for cash, you can also swap shares with each other to eliminate the need for cash and paying the cost of acquiring cash.
- Buy, use, manage and control assets, including homes, without paying for full ownership.
- Diversify your portfolio using the shares sales proceeds, instead of getting locked into full-ownership interests in large, illiquid assets.
- Find partners and investors to fulfill your business and financial goals.
No account or membership or registration fee. No listing fee. No brokerage commission or transaction fee. No cost. (This website hopes to make money selling ads, and from usage fees which may be charged in the future.)

You can also play our daily virtual trading games with your assets, at zero risk:
Democratizing finance by creating an open-and-equal-access capital market: For creating our virtual trading game arena, we have broken paradigms and created a virtual complete financial market, in which we explore, through our daily trading games, how to:
- better understand all types of global financial assets,
- buy and sell global assets anywhere,
- price less liquid assets quickly,
- trade less liquid assets quickly,
- minimize our need for cash for buying assets,
- cash out investments in less liquid assets,
- create more and easier ways to trade assets, &
- minimize financial institutions' role in and control over our finances.
Showcasing assets, fast asset pricing by users and quick shares trading without cash: We start by showcasing our real and/or fantasy assets - no name, address, identifying details or personal information required; use our collective wisdom to set quick estimated (speculative) virtual prices of all these assets; and exchange their virtual shares among ourselves to maximize our individual portfolio values without using any cash (how's that for a challenge!) in the daily games.
More options equal more freedom: If you don't want to sell or buy, for real or virtually, you don't have to. You can just showcase your assets, or submit your price estimates for assets, or pick and choose any other activity that you like from a wide range of choices here, and enjoy yourself. After all, the purpose of the site is to make possible more financial choices in real life for all of us.
Our virtual trading is nothing like those of virtual stock trading sites: The smart things you can't do, and the dumb things you can, on this website:
HOW TO BUILD YOUR VIRTUAL PORTFOLIO/FUND: Open a free account. No information and no obligation needed. Log in. Click on "Register Asset" (top bar). Briefly describe your financial asset(s), located anywhere in the world, real or created by you. Upload images, if any. Each asset is automatically converted into 100 equal virtual shares. This starts your virtual portfolio whose value is adjusted every 24 hours.
Unlike on other virtual trading sites, you don't have to buy just stocks from just two or three US stock exchanges. Instead,
- You can pick and assemble, virtually, stocks, bonds, derivatives and all other types of securities, and also other types of financial assets like real estate, small businesses, art, antiques and collectibles, from anywhere in the world, for your portfolio.
- You can network and explore how and where to buy and sell these global assets for real, among other things, with other users.
- You can create your own derivatives and other securities, and any other kind of financial asset you can think of, and see how they do.
- You get to acquire unprecedented global market knowledge, as well as knowledge of the whole wide world of financial assets, not just stocks.
- AND HAVE A BLAST FINDING LESS KNOWN INVESTMENTS AND/OR CREATING YOUR OWN INVESTMENTS!
HOW AN ASSET IS VIRTUALLY PRICED: Click on "Price Asset" (top bar). Enter your quote for one share (1%) of an asset. The median value of prices quoted by you and other users will become the new virtual price for each share of that asset for this site every 48 hours. Assets with the highest price gains are displayed in the charts.
You don't get the standard stock prices. Instead,
- You yourself quote the price of your security and other assets, while other users do their own price search/research and enter their own quotes. The user community sets the prices of all the assets, including securities, on this site.
- You can sharpen your asset evaluation and pricing skill, and then compare your price guessing relative to the actual price of the asset, if available, and the median estimated price on the website.
- You can help find new ways to quickly price less liquid assets so that, among other things, they can trade faster.
- AND HAVE A BLAST LAUGHING AT SOME PRICES!
HOW THE VIRTUAL TRADING WORKS: It involves swapping virtual asset shares once every 24 hours. For selling your shares, log in and click on "Sell" (top bar). Enter # of shares and your price. For buying, log in and click on "Buy" (top bar). Search for shares on sale through category or keywords. Then place your bids with your shares. Users with the highest gains and losses in portfolio values are displayed in the charts.
You can't do intraday-trading, and you don't get virtual cash to buy and sell. Instead,
- You virtually exchange shares of your securities and other assets with shares owned by other users, using our auction system. For this you have to open your portfolio first by registering at least one asset before you can trade. This site uses virtual cashless bartering of fractional (partial) ownership interests, designed as a challenging trading game, to hedge risks and share rewards of investments within the user community.
- You can help find new ways to trade less liquid assets, hedge risks, and diversify portfolio without needing cash.
- AND HAVE A BLAST HOWLING AT SOME TRADES!
We're all we need: Now and here we can, at zero risk, currently for free:
- Help create a new and better financial market.
- Build a network of, and interact with, like-minded people, other asset owners and aspiring owners, investors, and potential partners.

FINANCE 2.0:
You can register assets that you may own (no address required), and/or you can create your own virtual assets. All virtual real estate and business assets must be given a real world geographic location. For registering an asset, you have to provide some basic required details, which you cannot edit or delete afterwards. You may also provide some optional details and descriptions which you can edit and update any time. You can upload your own photos, sketches etc. for your assets which you can add or delete any time. After you register an asset, you cannot delete it. You and all users can tag any asset, send it to anybody via e-mail, and add comments anytime. You can set and change the visibility of your assets by making them viewable by anyone, or by logged in users only.
After you register an asset, it automatically gets converted into 100 equal virtual shares, with each share representing 1% of the market price of the whole asset that you estimated at registration. Then you can start selling the shares in exchange for shares of assets owned or created by other users through bidding in our daily auctions.
All trading and pricing activities on this site are mock and simulated, and do not represent any real or legal transaction.
Each round of bidding continues for 24 hours from 7 am to 7 am Eastern Standard Time, US. After 7 am EST each day, all daily biddings end, all trades are executed, user portfolios are adjusted, and the charts are generated and displayed.
The current share price of an asset is the median value of all the latest estimated prices for one share of the asset submitted by users. All 100 shares of an asset have the same share price. After a new asset is registered, or after share(s) of an asset are offered for sale or used to place a bid with, one share of that asset becomes available for price estimation by all users, for the remainder of the current 24-hour bidding period, and the next 23 hours till 6 am EST (one hour before the biddings end at 7 am EST), during which all users can submit their estimations. After this, at 6 am EST, the new price for one share of the asset is calculated from the submitted estimations, and this remains the current share price of that asset for the next 48 hours.
While, at the time of registration, there are upper price limits for registering created virtual assets, users are free to price them as they see fit, depending on the quality of the concept and concrete visualization of the details of the asset created.
