| Event Description: |
Are financial blogs good or bad for the markets? Join three of the top financial bloggers on the Internet today for a provocative and engaging panel discussion on the impact that blogging has had on the markets and where the industry is heading in the future. This panel will offer insights into how each writer began to blog about the markets, why they still blog today, the effect they have seen their site and other sites have on the markets and where they think the future lies in the dissemination of information in the online age. Find out who will be guiding the intelligence that will affect your investments in the future from those who work at the intersection of the markets, media and Internet.
