Access Amec´s new site The entity´s new site is now live: a new design, new architecture and additional features for our members. The Association of Capital Markets Investors has reformulated its site (www.amecbrasil.org.br) aimed to renew and make the communication among its members and other audiences more dynamic. There are several innovative changes: a new design, new information architecture, interactive tools and the new exclusive area for members. In addition to reducing the responding time, the new site enables the interactivity and exchange of experiences. Now, the Opinion of Amec´s articles count on an exclusive session, making the access to the contents that detail the entity´s position regarding important topics for the association easier. With a current language and built based on the principle of functionality, Amec´s portal opens a new time in the communication with its members, whether in its own environment or in social networks, such as the Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Google+, Youtube, or even by email once the content can be shared in these channels directly from the site. The new tool also allows readers to post comments, which will be always welcomed.

Opinion of Amec – The Emperor of All Evils Scene 1: 1 Blue Horseshoe loves Blue Star Airlines. Scene 2: The handcuffed Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen) is taken by policemen through the trading room at Jackson Steinme´s brokerage house. The scenes above are from the movie Wall Street (1987). Their emotional impact is undeniable. The "good contravener" leaves the office burst into tears, probably thinking that his dreams and professional career have just started to dismantle as a result of his illegal acts. His colleagues show dismay and also the perception that, in fact, the crime does not pay. Changes to Amec´s Executive Board After seven years directly involved in Amec´s activities, our founder Luis Stuhlberger requested to leave the entity´s Executive Board. In his resignation speech, Luis highlighted he will continue committed to Amec as a member of the institution´s Advisory Board. The decision opens room to an important renewal in the body responsible for the association´s daily activities.
