PRESS RELEASE Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Business/Finance, Investing, Internet/DotCom, Men's Interests JoinFinance.com Aims To Make Investment Decisions Easier For Consumers By Offering Comprehensive Financial Information On One Site LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Dec. 1, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- JoinFinance Founder, CEO Sharokh Engineer today announced the launch of the company's web site (www.JoinFinance.com), a dynamic new portal designed to help consumers make wise market investment decisions through financial information that is comprehensive and easy to understand. "Over the years I got tired of making daily summaries of important investment data from dozens of web sites," says Sharokh, adding, "the data on most sites is presented in such a way that the average person needs an MBA to make sense of the confusing array of facts and figures." Investment has been a big part of Sharokh's life for most of the last 20 years. His resume includes experience heading up companies ranging from traditional businesses like manufacturing, real estate, and finance to Internet service companies (he's collected 1,000 important dot-com domain names over the years). Currently, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in entrepreneurship and eVenture. By working closely with brokers, bankers and CEOs of leading companies to establish an effective menu-driven design, JoinFinance.com designers have created a site where information can be gleaned at a glance. The result is "Everything you need to know about business, finance and investing, whether you're a beginner or an expert, on one easy-to-navigate site." The content includes dynamic stock market data, a rich variety of tools; economic indicators, financial calculators and breaking news; content and licensed information from premier news and business information sources from around the world. JoinFinance.com subscribers get access to live market briefing and analysis, real-time stock alerts, chart standouts, top stories, breaking news, stock ratings by analysts, earnings, and calendars including stock splits, buybacks and much more. Joinfinance.com has partnered with realtimetraders.com, leaders in the stock market analysis field, and offers services at a lower cost of that provided by similar sites. "I want this information to be available for less than a fast-food meal to our customers," says Sharokh. "Everyone should be able to afford it, from college students to pensioners." Consequently, the subscriber base has been increasing rapidly toward the company's goal of 15,000 registered users within the next 12 months. Usable information is available in the form of dynamic equity market content licensed from Quotemedia.com, including a 14-day free trial through Quotestream, an institutional grade streaming portfolio management system. There is also continuously updated world and business news including a customized package that offers up to 3,000 stories daily. An investor guide offers hundreds of pages of educational financial material and a financial glossary containing over 6,000 definitions and 20,000 links. News and financial forecasts are provided through a partnership with Kiplinger including stock and mutual fund picks and other personal investing forecasts. Visitors will also find a host of money rates such as currency cross-rate tables, forex movers with spot exchange increases and decreases, including interactive time frame comparison chart modules, daily major currency commentary and analysis. Major world and U.S. interest rate reports provide daily rates for the world's major bank interest rates for Europe and the Pacific Rim. The site also provides comprehensive daily mortgage rates, corporate bond rates, US treasuries and a universal currency converter. Custom financial calculators, covering a broad spectrum of personal finance from retirement planning, mortgage rates to loans and credit, are available to Joinfinance.com members. You can estimate your net worth today, and use the life insurance planning software to calculate how much you would leave behind for your family in case of unexpected tragedy. JoinFinance has also affiliated with many fortune 100 companies such as American Express, Delta Airlines, Dell Computers, Wal-Mart.com USA, and others, to provide special promotions to their registered members. "The JoinFinance board of directors brings extensive experience to the company from international business and decades of expertise in the technology arena," says Sharokh. "Their focus, strategy and approach are the result of members' shared values, entrepreneurial spirit, expertise and dedication and, most importantly, a proven track record." JoinFinance is a global entity dedicated to the pursuit of excellence.
