The Investor Network

March 10th, 2009

The Internet offers an abundance of information, but how do you validate what’s real and what’s not? When an online users submits content to a blog, video site, or forum, they are usually not held accountable for their user-generated content. Only in the most severe scenarios (Steve Jobs related rumors comes to mind) do the authorities really spend the time and effort to track down the person behind the screen name.

This can be very troublesome for an investor looking for real, useful information on which to base his investment decisions. Wouldn’t it be great if there was a place where you only chat with validated investors, and people are held accountable for what they say?

It’s here, and it’s called The Investor Network.
