Investopedia

Investopedia (Investopedia.com) is one of the webs largest sites devoted entirely to investing education. The site was started by Cory Janssen and Cory Wagner in June 1999 at the height of the internet stock boom as a unbiased source to learn about investing.

The website had its beginning as a financial dictionary, separating itself from other dictionaries by offering the "Investopedia Says" - a plain english interpretation of hard to understand terms and concepts. The site is now home to over 1,500 articles, 5,000 dictionary entries, and 750 pages of in-depth tutorials on nearly every aspect of finance and investing. Along with content, Investopedia also offers interactive tools such as the Investing Simulator that allows individuals to set up a brokerage account with phoney money and trade publicly traded stocks and options on the NYSE, NASDAQ, OTCBB, CBOE, and TSX.

For those in the financial industry, the site also offers textbooks and practice questions on a wide variety of exams such as the NASD Series 6, 7, 63, 65, 66 and Chartered Financial Analyst level 1, 2, and 3.

The site is privately owned and derives revenue from advertising, exam preparation sales, licensing content, and offering stock ideas through it's Investopedia Advisor service.

Created article

As this user hasn't been around, and it was apparently his intention, I took the liberty of creating the investopedia.com article myself with the information here. s»abhorreo»i 09:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
