NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - February 17, 2009) - John Thomas Financial, Inc., a licensed, full service broker dealer offering client-centric retail brokerage and investment banking services, today announced that Channel 11 WPIX in New York broadcast a segment from the floor of the Firm's headquarters located at 14 Wall Street 5th Floor directly across from the New York Stock Exchange.

Channel 11 WPIX broadcast from the headquarters of John Thomas Financial had the opportunity to show their viewers the type of activity that President Obama wants to promote, more jobs in the financial sector as well as infrastructure across the country including electronic infrastructure. "We have to be careful of misallocation and waste in how the stimulus package is spent as well as ensure that more money goes to individuals in order to help get the economy moving," said the Firm's Chief Market Analyst, Wayne Kaufman.

As President Obama's stimulus package begins to take shape and the economic outlook remains uncertain it is the Firm's job to find and build upon favorable economic conditions. The Financial Consultants at John Thomas Financial feel confident that the new administration will take the steps necessary to get this economy moving again. "What the country needs now is job creation, as long as the stimulus package can facilitate employment then the economy will turn around," said the Firm's founder and CEO, Thomas Belesis.
