An Online Trading Community for Normal People?
Wednesday, October 18th, 2006Wallstrip, a daily internet newscast, was launched this past Monday (Oct. 16). Each day it features a company whose stock is at or near a new high.  They look into why it is succeeding, but not from a “Wall Street” perspective. They keep a very “real world” point of view. It’s quite refreshing.
For example, on Monday Wallstrip looked into why Apple’s stock is soaring.  Wallstrip attributes it to Apple’s retail stores. The store atmosphere, customer service, products, and experience all contribute to the store’s success and Apple’s stock. Or yesterday, Wallstrip examined RIMM. Why is Blackberry doing so well? Because it’s addictive!
After watching these short, entertaining newscasts; you can join in the online conversation where professional stock bloggers debate the issues. This part actually sounds a bit intimidating to me…I haven’t joined a conversation yet, but I was surprised to find that most of the content was written on my level. See for yourself: Dave Landry, one of Wallstrip’s bloggers, explains why he would avoid Apple stock.
Not only does Wallstrip hit the spot with the right content, but they got an amazing anchor. Lindsay Campbell is gorgeous, witty, and fun to watch. For all of us single guys, let’s hope she’s available!
