The Right Tools for the Job -- Shares Magazine - 22nd-28th Febuary 2001

(exerpt)...Catering for the novice investor is Sharecrazy.com, run by Malcolm Stacey, author of The Armchair Tycoon.
The site prides itself on being a jargon free, friendly base for investors to learn and swap ideas. It is a good starting place for an apprentice investor, and best of all - it's free.

Services include jargon-busting explanations of investment terms, news and a bulletin board, all hosted by a cartoon character aptly named Joe Public. 'Most websites say they are aimed at the private investor, but they're not; they are aimed at professionals in the city, and many aren't even written in English', says millionaire Malcolm, who has a private portfolio of around 200 stocks.

He adds: The Sharecrazy.com site gives columns from city experts a wide berth, preferring to be a forum for private investors to exchange views. On Sharecrazy the only 'expert' who has a column is me'... Sharecrazy.com is included in the 'Education' section at the end of the article under 'Must Have Kit'.
