World Trade Centers?

Question

What exactly would go on in the World Trade Centers? Does the name say it all?

Answer 1

A World Trade Center brings together businesses and government agencies involved in foreign trade. It is a one-stop trade information hub where an international business person is offered the full range of services such as market research, WTCA OnLine, trade shows & exhibit space, business services, trade education, group trade missions and WTC clubs.

There are WTCs in most major cities

Answer 3

Baltimore has a World Trade Center. Basically lots of port related businesses have offices there.

Answer 4

It's a conceit that you would have an advantage doing your business in a building with other similar businesses. Your business could be in the stateroom of a tramp steamer, as long as you were lawful, and had modern communications.

Maybe what they really mean is office facilities on Port Authority land.

Answer 5

Toronto has a world trade centre & as far as I know there is a lot of stuff to do with international import/export.

Answer 6

i have attended a lot of seminars, read counless books on forex trading and it all cost me thousands of dollars. the worst thing was i blew up my first account. after that i opened another account and the same thing happened again. i started to wonder why i couldn,t make any money in forex trading. at first i thought i knew everything about trading. finally i found that the main problem i have was i did not have the right mental in trading. as we know that psychology has great impact on our trading result. apart from psychology issue, there is another problem that we have to address. they are money management, market analysis, and entry/exit rules. to me money management is important in trading. i opened another account and start to trade profitably after i learnt from my past mistake. i don't trade emotionally anymore.
if you are serious about trading you need to address your weakness and try to fix it. no forex guru can make you Professional trader unless you want to learn from your mistake.

Answer 7

Technically yes, but...

When initally built, that is what the tower complex was SUPPOSED to do/have... But, in the 1970's, they failed to be able to get the tenants for the complex... It wasn't until the 80's when they obtained more tenenats, but they were more "commercial" clients.

"A world trade center puts together under one roof all the services associated with global commerce, a kind of supermarket or shopping mall providing networking access between corporations and governments. "A World Trade Center in any city is a business shopping center, complementing and supporting the existing services of private and government agencies", explains World Trade Center Association (WTCA) President, Guy F. Tozzoli." ~ wikipedia
