What You Should Know About InvestorVillage

OUR VISION
To be a Force for Good in the Investment World

Many Main Street investors have lost faith in the integrity of Wall Street institutions and in the objectivity of the financial news media.

To aid online investor research and communication, InvestorVillage offers a range of free and premium site tools and features, including favorite member management, private messaging, and multi-message viewing. By delivering unparalleled customer service and acting with honesty and integrity, we believe we truly can be a force for good in the investment world.

OUR MISSION
To Help Investors Reach Their Full Potential

InvestorVillage recognizes that timely access to relevant information is critical to success in the market. That's why we work so hard to minimize distractions on our discussion forums. We believe our success in this area relative to many competitor sites is due in large part to our willingness to take customer feedback into consideration when evaluating how best to enforce our terms of service. To allow information to flow as freely as possible for the benefit of all site users, we encourage civility and respect among message board participants and do everything we can to keep out the spammers, trash talkers and trolls. Our efforts to responsibly manage the greater InvestorVillage community give you more time for proper due diligence, space to think, and access to other serious investors.

Our focus on quality over quantity continues to attract an extensive network of smart, industrious people, just like you. Doctors. Lawyers. Accountants. Retired brokers, analysts and money managers. Business owners. Scientists. You name the profession - they're represented. Simply put, InvestorVillage is a great community to be a part of. So when you're looking to bounce investment ideas off someone other than a call-in talk show host, this is the place to do it. Creating opportunities to connect with other serious investors is yet another way IV helps investors reach their full potential.
