WHAT IS NEW?

September was an exciting month for us here at Investor Concepts. Although we haven't started any new content sections or added large volumes of content to the site this month, we did try something new that turned out to be both fun and educational. During the month we attended a couple of events as members of the press in order to learn from it ourselves and provide coverage for our readers. The fact that we were able to attend the events of our choice as members of the press shows that our publication is beginning to be taken seriously, thus validating the ideas we have about the direction and growth of our publication.

During the month of September we have also reached an agreement internally to expand our staff by bringing on board a freshly minted Finance MBA by the name of Vinod Thomas as our full-time Managing Editor starting this October. Besides his energetic work style and education, Vinod also brings with him four years of financial institution analysis experience. We're very excited about this decision and have very high hopes for him.

During the month of September we had a number of great articles published on our site, many of which deal with commodity trading, the use of investment tools, and technical analysis.
