Stock Arena Launches the Future of Online Investment Communities

Offers Most Comprehensive Poster Credentials, Zero Advertising and First to Offer Cash Rewards to Top Members

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 21, 2004--Stock Arena, LLC today launches StockArena.com, marking a new beginning for stock message boards.

"Based on ten years of participating on various stock message boards, I have found that every online investment community suffers from severe lack of poster credentials and inadequate incentives to post high-quality messages," said Steven Path, Stock Arena's founder and president. "Finally, with the launch of StockArena.com, investors from around the world have a home on the Internet solely committed to building trust, relaying knowledge and delivering rewards."
Stock Arena tackles the problem of poster credibility symptomatic of outdated message boards by allowing investors the ability to review in-depth poster credentials, including: trust grades, quality-based rankings, and historical site-wide and stock-specific statistics.

Locating only high-quality content important to an individual investor's interests is simple and fast, thanks to Stock Arena's intuitive and cutting-edge Web site. For the active investor whose "time is money," gone are the days of scrolling endlessly to search for a paragraph of solid research.

New to the online investment community, StockArena.com delivers a true ranking system based on quality postings recognized by the community - unlike the prevalence of mere quantity-based rankings for postings on other stock message boards. Stock Arena identifies top members site wide and stock specifically.

Equally ground-breaking, Stock Arena recognizes the value of members who consistently post high-quality content. "Exclusive to StockArena.com is the unprecedented action of rewarding our top 100 ranked members," Steven Path points out. "Stock Arena shares a significant portion of revenue collected -- a minimum of $20,000 per biannual, with a goal of increasing that amount to $100,000 per biannual in 2005."

The guiding principle in developing StockArena.com was the basic belief in the individual investor's potential to share valuable information on par with or better than that of professional analysts. StockArena.com provides individual investors the ability to post comments, initiate and update price targets, offer trade advice, as well as create and update research reports on the stocks they cover.

Simply put, StockArena.com is the only choice for those seeking a feature-rich online investment community that addresses all of the shortcomings found on other stock message boards.

Experts back this up. As one hedge fund manager recently commented on StockArena.com, "This site combines everything that is needed to share ideas among successful stock pickers and investment gurus." A veteran equity researcher wrote, "If you're discouraged by all those other incoherent message boards, then StockArena.com should be your choice."
