Global Investor Services, Inc. Enters Into a Marketing and Sales Agreement With Newsgrade Corporation

OREM, Utah, May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Investor Services, Inc. ("Global", OTCBB: GISV) announced that it has entered into a marketing and sales agreement with Newsgrade Corporation ("Newsgrade") pursuant to which Global is to sell and market Newsgrade's products to individuals within Global's vast database and develop training products in connection with Newsgrade's products. An initial product to be developed by Global and offered for sale by both companies at a price point of $1,000 is a 60-90 day training course that teaches individuals how to interpret and use signals generated by Newsgrade's Surfs*Up™ day trading algorithm.  Surfs*Up™ monitors and measures waves of investor sentiment in any market and issues signals at points where it anticipates a wave break or reversal.  It is currently available for Futures trading and will soon be available for Futures and Forex trading purposes.

Global will be marketing and selling Newsgrade's expanding suite of exclusive computer systems and algorithms that follow or cover investor sentiment readings, fundamental analysis and technical analysis for just about every type of financial instrument that trades, including Futures, Forex, Bonds, Stocks and Commodities.  Some of these include STORM™, which operates similarly to the Doppler Radar that is used by meteorologists to measure the barometric pressure for monitoring changes in weather.  STORM™ is an investor sentiment computer system that is primarily used by day traders to help them determine whether to be long or short and also how long to stay in the trade.  An additional investor sentiment algorithm which Newsgrade expects to soon launch is WARP™.  This tool is best used by long-term investors who tend to buy and hold securities such as stocks, leaps and precious metals.  It uses a time-warp to synthetically compute a moving average in the future then compares it to the financial instrument's current moving average to generate long-term buy and sell signals.  

Commenting on the announcement, Nicholas Maturo, Global's CEO, stated, "We are excited about entering into this agreement with Newsgrade because we believe that it is well positioned to emerge as the leading provider of high performance quantitative computer systems and algorithms which can be used to enhance trader and investor performance.  Because Newsgrade's investor sentiment computer systems and algorithms are very unique they have significant pricing power.  Additionally, our entering into the this deal is very timely as it will facilitate our entry into providing education and training systems and solutions for the fast growing markets of Futures, Forex and Commodities."  

Carl Shaifer, Newsgrade's President, stated the following:  "We at Newsgrade are excited about entering into a deal with Global because they have the expertise to develop online investor and trader training programs for our growing suite of exclusive and proprietary trading and investing computer systems and algorithms.  What excites us even more is that they have a data base of approximately 100,000 individuals who have paid for and have taken a training course on how to trade stocks or options.  Because our products are highly differentiated and cover everything from high frequency trading to long-term investing, we believe that Global will be highly successful in selling and marketing them to their data base."
