Update: Looks like someone at Yahoo! Finance flicked the switch by mistake, or was doing some early morning testing, because the new design was quickly removed after we wrote this post. The screenshot we took is actually of the “tour” that was provided via a link on the new homepage we saw. By Dominic Jones [...]

By Dominic Jones INTERNET earnings and conference call calendars provided by the likes of Thomson Financial, Reuters and OpenCompany, owned by Nasdaq Stock Market Inc., are broken. They are often incomplete and sometimes just plain wrong. Fixing this mess could save companies a lot of money, improve the flow of information to investors, and help [...]

THE U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s concept for an electronic forum where shareholders can discuss and possibly vote on corporate governance issues is too prescriptive and costly, and will mostly benefit a small group of vendors only. At their roundtable on proxy access in May, the SEC floated the concept of an electronic forum in [...]

By Dominic Jones THE Company Insight Center on BusinessWeek‘s website has quickly become my favorite company research site. Lots of great information, really good usability for a new site, and I like that it’s backed by Standard & Poor’s data. The site makes Yahoo! Finance seem old, cluttered and dull, and it completely and utterly [...]

By Dominic Jones LAST week’s surprising announcement from Prudential Financial (NYSE: PRU) that is was closing its equity research business and axing more than 400 employees has many wondering what the future has in store for the sell-side.

By Dominic Jones ANYONE who still thinks blogs are irrelevant to what happens on the stock market should read this story. During the middle of the trading day, top blog Engadget posted an item based on what it thought was an internal company email saying Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) was delaying its highly anticipated iPhone and [...]

By Dominic Jones AS PART of a continuing theme that many corporate websites are becoming increasingly irrelevant to investors due to poor management and a lack of a clear communication strategy, I offer two screenshots. The first is from the events calendar page on XTO Energy Inc.’s (NYSE:XTO) investor relations website, which is hosted by [...]

By Dominic Jones TIMELINESS is vital for investor relations websites to remain relevant to investors. A site that contains out-of-date information will quickly lose users to other sources of information. And that’s what may be happening to corporate investor relations websites hosted by Thomson Financial and other large vendors. As I wrote recently, according to [...]

By Dominic Jones IN WHAT may be an indication that U.S. IR websites are no longer able to attract and hold the interest of investors, traffic to IR websites hosted by Thomson Financial has slumped to all-time lows, according to the Alexa website information company. Alexa, owned by Amazon.com, measures traffic only of people who [...]

SOME readers might be wondering if I’ve gone completely mad by saying this week’s three-day CEO open interview hosted by blog network Seeking Alpha represents the future of IR. You might be wondering why I am advocating that you put your CEO in front of a group of hardened investors, analysts and finance bloggers — [...]
