I just purchased some shares in Sketis -- the security that represents the value of litecoininvest. 

I did some research and found that Ethera already operates a successful mining operation and seems committed to the community.  I believe that his implementation of the exchange is a show of dedication and not some pump and dump. 

Some might remember the value of LTC-GLOBAL stock before the market closed.  It was trading for more than 400 LTC within the previous three months.  If Litecoininvest even sees a fraction of the success of LTC-Global, Sketis shares (which represent the value of litecoininvest, and its bitcoin and primecoin counterparts) will rise. 

Here are my prime reasons for investing in Sketis:

Litecoin is currently very affordable.
Ethera and his team are provably competent in their management of LT-MINE ( > 400% rise in value since IPO).
Litecoininvest is a first mover in the wake of BTCT/LTC-GLOBAL's demise.
They offer security issuers from BTCT/LTC-GLOBAL to reissue on Litecoinglobal for no cost.  This should make them a very attractive option for migrant security issuers looking for a new home.
Sketis represents the profits of three different exchanges whereas LTC-GLOBAL's soaring stock represented only one.
US investors are welcome at Litecoininvest while turned away almost everywhere else.  If US investors still trust bitcoin securities, Litecoininvest is in a very good position to accept US investors.
Loose regulatory climate in Lithuania.
Sketis has a charity arm -- which is awesome for the community.  They're helping out Sean's Outpost and other charities with their operation.

Good luck with the project Ethera!
