"I am grateful to be given this opportunity to be on the cutting-edge of finance and technology," said Jan Parr, Editor of Online Investor. "The Internet has changed the face of investing forever. More people are taking control of investing decisions, and the Internet gives everyone the opportunity to access ideas previously available only to high-priced financial managers. Online Investor will discuss issues facing independent investors and provide a comprehensive guide to where the best information can be found. It is our intention to make Online Investor the most reliable source of such information for the millions that choose to invest online."
