24/7 Wall St. is a year old this week.  Over that period, we have filed over 8,700 stories, almost all of them written by in-house staff and we began to offer only exclusive content starting about six months ago. That comes out to about 30 stores a day on weekdays.   

We now routinely cover the global economy, markets, and stocks from 3:30 AM to 9:00 PM EST.  24/7 Wall St. now appears regularly in the Top 10,000 sites measured by Quantcast based on size and reach. The service tracks almost 21 million websites, so that puts 24/7 pretty far up the list.

Our content is linked to regularly by outside partners and affiliated online sites such as MarketWatch, TheStreet.com, AOL Finance, WSJ, Barron’s, Stockhouse, Huffington Post, the New York Sun, Financial Content, Google Finance, Google News, and many more.  Our editors have appeared on CNBC and on CNN International, and we were featured on Fox Business News shortly after its launch.   We also thank our advertisers, Zecco, Ads-Click, TradeKing, Vibrant, and Google for their financial support.

We have a free email newsletter that is open for sign-ups in which we feature either more detailed data or introductory data to stories we may cover at a later date.  Readers of this product come from every level of investor: tier-one brokers, trading desks, analysts, private equity firms, public company executives, market makers, investment advisers, hedge fund managers, day traders, and retail investors.

24/7 Wall St. also offers three paid subscriber newsletters now:

  • Special Situation Investing for buyouts, speculated deals, break-ups, re-organizations, and back door plays into upcoming IPO’s.
  • 10 Stocks Under $10 where each week we give our own take on 10 companies with share prices under $10.
  • Old Media New Media letter covers the developments and major events for scores of media in the new digital age: newspapers, online content, cable, content delivery, radio, television, and search.

2007 has been a great year an we plan to launch more features and services in 2008 that appeal to an even broader audience.  Finally, we want thank our readers. 24/7 Wall St. gets about 250,000 unique visitors every month.  Many of you keep coming back. We appreciate your comments and the time you take to be a reader.
