MoneyBadger: Business news with a sense of humor

Ian Rosen, the CEO of StockTwits, writes about its new website MoneyBadger.com.

Rosen writes, “As a publication, Money Badger’s sole purpose is to help those who’ve never invested learn the basics of the market, buy their first shares of stock, and become engaged with the fascinating market stories that evolve each day. Whether you’re fresh out of college and keep everything in your savings account or starting your retirement on a fixed income, we’ll help you with everything you need to get your money to grow.

Think of Money Badger as a newspaper’s business section, but for someone who never read the business section before and finds newspapers kind of dull. There are many exciting events happening in the business world, but they’re all reported in dry, humorless walls of text with confusing charts and nonsensical data points.

“At Money Badger, we make business news easily digestible and relatable with an added touch of humor. We exist solely to keep beginning investors informed and steer them in the right direction for their first investments.”
