Barron's: Savvy Investors Should Turn to Briefing.com
Magazine Rates Site as No. 1 in Commentary

CHICAGO, IL--Sept. 27, 2004--Investors craving sophisticated analyses of the stock market should turn to Briefing.com (www.briefing.com) according to Barron's magazine in its 8th annual listing of Best Websites for Investors.

After a major overhaul of its web site and offerings, Briefing.com is back in the No. 1 slot for commentary says the magazine, which called the site's content "insightful" for savvy investors at both ends of the "knowledge spectrum."

"Some of the site's insightful content is free, but you'll have to pay for the deepest analysis: $9.95 or $24.95 a month, depending on your needs," says the magazine in its article announcing the top web sites. "At the Platinum level, the most sophisticated, you'll get a constant stream of briefings throughout the day on elements like the economy, upgrades/downgrades and short-term trading opportunities. In-depth analyses are dispatched throughout the day chronicling things like overnight market activity, tech stocks, stocks making news and sector movement. Briefing.com also closely tracks the bond market and Federal Reserve policy and posts forecasts and analyses of the market and the economy. Beyond all of this timely market coverage and analysis, the site also offers quotes, charts and reports. Briefing.com is a site you'll want to visit early and often."

"It's extremely satisfying to see Briefing.com chosen for best commentary in this prestigious yearly competition," says Briefing.com's president, Dick Green. "Our analysts work hard each day to create just that, the best commentary on the markets they can possibly provide for our subscribers. For Barron's to recognize that effort is rewarding indeed."

Calling this year's rankings a reflection of investor "contentment instead of novelty," Barron's put Briefing.com in some esteemed company. Yahoo! Finance (finance.yahoo.com) and MSN Money (moneycentral.msn.com) were judged the best of the portal sites that include news, charts, screeners, portfolio trackers and company financial data all under one roof. For hard news, the magazine rated The Wall Street Journal (www.wsj.com) as best overall.
