This is a great idea, and I checked your resume on LinkedIn: JP Morgan, Sunguard, Bloomberg, and you speak 3 languages? Impressive. Why choose Havelock though instead of BTC-TC or BitFunder? They are more reputable IMHO due do their resiliency to DDOS attacks in the past. Havelock is based in Canada if I remember correctly- sure they look pretty and have a nice trading interface but the last time they were down it took them 2 WHOLE DAYS to recover. I think if you go with BTC-TC or BitFunder you are more likely to reach your goal because the trust is already there.

As a trader I have dealt with Havelock for over a year now and have had excellent service from them. I have never had a problem getting BTC in or out. DDOS can happen to any site. Havelock has a very well designed interface and I have never had an issue executing trades. They keep most of the BTC in a cold wallet and thus have limited their customers exposure to theft should someone breech the hot wallet. I highly recommend setting up an account with Havelock, it is fast and easy. IMHO Havelock is just as trustworthy as the other BTC Stock Exchanges and has had many successful IPO's to date.
