Notes:
# Trading Values also had a domain tradingvalues.NET (see web.archive.org, with pages ranging from 2003 - 2007) but that .net domain is expired now and I couldn't find any info on when it was originally registered.
However, apart from the "Jul 13, 2003" page found in http://web.archive.org/web/*/tradingvalues.COM all the other pages there will lead to archived pages for tradingvalues.NET, so I''ll mainly quote from archived tradingvalues.NET pages.
# According to "Morten" in this 'thespinfactor' thread, there is also a company "Trading Values LTD" wich was registered on the 07th of July 2003 in the state of Delaware under file number 3673344 (thanks Morten for this info).

Entity Name: TRADINGVALUES LTD.
Entity Kind: CORPORATION Entity Type: GENERAL

# Trading Values later morphed into the present Dubli Network. This will not be discussed in this post.
