Discussing the new TALF program with Opalesque, Corey Ribotsky of the NIR Group of Roslyn, New York, explained that as of now he has not yet seen any easing of credit in the PIPE investing sector.

Corey continued to explain that under ordinary circumstances or normal market environments, most of the companies, and especially those in the small and micro cap sector, are ignored by Wall Street.

What is really positive for us, according to Ribotsky, is that in the current atmosphere these companies are truly bypassed, and this is the “best environment for investing that I have seen in 15 years. Credit has been turned off and companies that are not big enough or haven’t “turned the corner” enough in a normal market do not have too many places to go.”

As the financial climate evolves alternative forms of investing are being established. Recently, traditional methods of borrowing, such as receiving loans from investment banks, have become increasingly difficult to obtain. Stepping into the ever enlarging vacuum are alternative sources of loans, such as hedge funds from investment firms. One of those alternative investment firms is the NIR Group headquartered in Roslyn, NY. For the past 10 years the NIR Group has been lending directly to small and medium sized companies and oversees $7 billion in investments. Corey Ribotsky, Managing Member of NIR comments, “Alternative investment vehicles are going to replace banks and investment banks as being the only financing source for a lot of companies, small, medium and large. That field has increased tenfold as traditional investment banks and traditional banks have not been able to lend to these companies at all.”
