New to The Street's TV Host Jane King, from the New York Stock Exchange Studio, meets with Tony Zipparo, Co-Founder of EquitySet, LLC. As a web-based equity research platform, the Company's equityset.com site provides end-users with a comprehensive platform with tools to research US equities and ETFs. The platform offers institutional research data for individual retail investors immediately available with many data tools, providing insight and educational resources. Tony explains that EquitySet has three main goals for its platform: 1) empowering retail investors with research tools; 2). Provides investors with information about potential investment opportunities; and 3). Gives date-set signals to track investments for decision-making purposes. Investors typically use many financial sites to make an informed decision on an investment, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and often has limited data availability. Tony, with his cross-expertise in financing and designs, developed EquitySet. The platform has the traditional information typically found on most stock quote websites, but many more unique features are available on one site. End-users can create customized features to cross-examine investment sectors and competitors within a particular industry. Using multiple data points and multi-dimensional analysis, EquitySet can provide an "Alignment Score," informing investors of the strengths and weaknesses of a sought-after equity/ETF. The score takes multiple data sources and information and then compiles a score to help investors decide on a buy/sell strategy and bull/bear insight.

The interview will air on Bloomberg TV, episode 538, on December 16, 2023, at 6:30 PM ET, and the FOX Business Network, episode 539, on December 18, 2023, at 10:30 PM PT.

New to Street features its newest business segment, "Money Makers, with TV Co-hosts Colin Jordon and Jane King. From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, Drinique's Andrew Elliott, President/Founder, and Hamid Charoosaie, Vice-President of Marketing, discuss the Company's unbreakable drinkware products. Drinique pioneered the use of Tritian™ Copolyester, making its first unbreakable drinkware product line BPA-Free and ergonomically appealing. After graduating from College, Andrew took his passion and experience in the hospitality industry and invented unbreakable drinkware, a solution for industry-wide glassware breakage. Hamid explains further about the Company's product line history and how medical applications use Tritian materials because they are BPA-free and high-heat resistant. Made in the USA, at its Arizona manufacturing facility, Drinique provides immediate customer service and on-time shipments. Drinique's drinkware products come with a lifetime guarantee and are at some of the most exclusive restaurants, nightclubs, resorts, and hotels worldwide. Business campuses like Meta and Linkin use the Drinique's products, and the Company aims to increase its marketing efforts directly to consumers. In 2024, the Company will manufacture its products using Tritian Renew™, a new generation of molecular recycling materials that provides the same strengths and features as the existing Copolyester material but can now be recycled more easily. Andrew gives an example of how Tritian Renew™ eliminates nine plastic bottles from landfills, and Drinique's stemless wine glass uses 50% recycled materials when manufacturing.

From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, Sandro Piancone, CEO of Hempacco Co., Inc. (NASDAQ:HPCO) ($HPCO), and Mr. Siddharth Shivkumar ("Sidd"), Founder and CEO of CBDAY Global Private Limited ("CBDAY") talk with New to The Street's TV Host Jane King.  Hempacco's mission is to become the largest disrupter of the $1T tobacco industry with its Hemp Disrupting Tobacco™ products and seeks growth and product integration globally. Sandro talks to viewers about the Company signing a new master distribution agreement with CBDAY, a CBD/Hemp India Company founded by Sid Shivkumar. Sid and Sandro met about a year ago to discuss the opportunities in selling Hempacco's hemp and CBD products in India. They evaluated the test market data, including shipping, logistics, and supply-chain management, successfully concluding the viability of the Indian marketplace. In Las Vegas, NV, at the MJBiz Conference and Expo, the largest expo of cannabis professionals, Hempacco and CBDAY signed the distribution agreement. CBDAY has 12 internal operation divisions, which evaluate domestic/international markets and seek CBD/hemp products to meet those consumer demands. Sidd sees Hempacco's hemp product lines as superior and high-quality, believing that excellent and strong consumer demand exists in India and Thailand. Over the next 5-10 years, Sidd thinks he can operate globally and expects to expand Hempacco's product lines further into new markets. Currently, CBDAY is distributing Hempacco's hemp and CBD products, including celebrity-branded hemp rolling papers, cones, and hemp wraps in India and Thailand. Hempacco and CBDAY see enormous growth in providing consumers with high-quality hemp-based products and further global market expansion.

From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, "Money Makers," New to The Street's newest business segment with Co-Hosts Colin Jordon and Jane King, interview Mark Kappelman, Co-Founder of REA (RealEstateAccounting.co). REA continues to expand its operations and is known as an effective and efficient outsourcing Company for Real-estate accounting and bookkeeping services. Mark and his wife started REA after a lousy experience outsourcing accounting and bookkeeping services on their property holdings. As a CPA, Mark looked at the deficiencies in real estate property accounting outsourcing and realized that many accounting services had limited to no specialized real-estate accounting expertise. REA has three reasons for real-estate owners to retain its services: 1). Only specialized in real-estate accounting services; 2). Personnel fully trained in using complex real-estate property management software programs like Yardi, Appfolio, and Entrata; and 3). Increase the client's bottom line with 30%-50% cost savings. REA 150 team members are accounting and technology experts who are 100% specialized in real estate. Every client has four key individuals assigned to a client's account, from a staff account to a controller, and they leverage AI and other software solutions to ensure the client's functionality and operational efficiencies. REA has a client base of combined residential and commercial units benefitting from the accounting services. REA continues to assist many residential and commercial real estate clients, doubling in size from 2022 to the present, and Mark continues to extraordinary upside demand heading in 2024.

Internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Alain Ghiai, CEO, Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX:SWISF) (CSE:SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) (Sekur®) and New to The Street TV Host / Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry present the "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security – The Weekly Hack" segment. Ana and Alain discuss the topic of the recent hacking and the theft of data at well-known casino properties, Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts. The hack occurred from a source in the USA, and the FBI is still investigating the crime. Alain says casino data is valuable, providing information like names, addresses, hotel stay particulars, and other private info. Most likely, the hackers are selling stolen data on the "Dark Web." Even if you haven't been to these Las Vegas properties recently, data from years ago was probably on the servers when stolen. At the onset, it looked like the hack came from an email; casinos and other businesses, unfortunately, use open-source email platforms. The best option is to have a secure Sekur Private Data Ltd email platform. Sekur offers a new product, SekurRely, software that allows management and other C-suite executives a private and secure email communication platform. Unique to Sekur, the product enables splitting a business domain, allowing emails on Sekur's platform without limiting the domain's other emails on other platforms. The product comes with SekurMail's SekurSend/SekurReply feature that invites electronic communication on Sekur's closed-loop encrypted platform. The recipient must not be a Sekur subscriber to enjoy the security and privacy features of the product. Subscribers can send emails with time limits, password protection, and other time-out features to enhance privacy for themselves and the recipient. SekurMail has two alias email addresses used for general emails, not for transmitting private data. Alain also recommends its SekurVPN services, which allows end-users to appear always as operating in Switzerland, masking a subscriber's internet footprint. IP addresses are private under Swiss privacy laws. Any data mining or reselling of information is a significant violation in Switzerland, the strictest privacy law in the world. Alain again informs viewers that Sekur Private Data, Ltd. wholly owns and controls its Swiss base servers, never sells data, never mines data, never asks for phone numbers, never uses 3^rd party providers, and never tracks internet traffic. The Company is offering PROMO CODE: PRIVACY that gives 15% savings toward monthly and yearly subscriptions to any of its services. Viewers, please tune in next time for the newest cybersecurity topic on the "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security– Weekly Hack" segment.
