Barron's Picks Briefing.com 6th Year In A Row

Chicago, IL—October 31, 2002—Briefing.com (www.briefing.com) was recognized recently by Barron's in their Best of the Web 2002 competition. This year's awards mark the sixth straight year Briefing.com has received this honor. The October 21 issue of Barron's details the Honorable Mentions in two categories, "Commentary" and "Bonds".

Under the "Commentary" category, Barron's had this to say:

"...its writers and analysts break in frequently throughout the day with terse comments to market events, including those in the credit and currency markets. Some live coverage is free, and the $9.95 a month subscription level provides more commentary and news, with the $25 a month level best for the pro."

In the "Bonds" category, Barron's noted:

"The supplier of Yahoo's bond commentary comes from our Honorable Mention in this category, Briefing.com. To get the most of the skinny on bonds, you'll have to subscribe at Briefing.com's Professional level, at $25 a month, though the site's free services offers bond coverage three times a day. Professional subscribers get live bond coverage and briefs as news-breaks, as well as bond quotes."

"It's great news each fall to see Briefing.com's content recognized in the company of firms such as those chosen for this year's Barron's Best of the Web awards," said Briefing.com's president Dick Green.

"Each day we strive to provide timely, intelligent analysis that will help both private investors and professionals make better market decisions. To see that effort acknowledged over a six-year span is very satisfying." For the full story, click here.
