The Napeague Letter is one of three online investment
services featured in a recent issue of ComputerWorld, the
weekly trade newspaper for IT professionals. The following
article appeared under the headline, �Spreading the Word�:
Earlier this year, Bob Davis launched "The Napeague
Newsletter," a bimonthly report that provides analysis and
commentary on stocks. Long term, he said he would like to
establish himself as a key Internet "content provider" to the
investment world.
Davis has an MBA from Harvard and more than 15 years
experience as a chief financial officer, so he knows his way
around financial reports. He left his most recent CFO post in
early 1995. Since then, he's done some consul
ting gigs and managed his investments.
Davis says that as a private investor, he had long documented
his research for his personal use. He was also growing
increasingly frustrated by what he considered erroneous
investment information on public bulletin boards. So he
started posting messages on these boards to let people know
that he would provide them with his own research if they were
interested.
Before long, he was sending his research to hundreds of
investors. In August, he decided to turn this effort into an
official newsletter operation. Davis now has 1,700
subscribers. It's a bare-bones operation. Davis doe
sn't charge for the newsletter, so he doesn't spend time on
bookkeeping. He does spend more than half of his time each
week on research and writing. His only real cost is the $20
flat-rate fee he pays his Internet access provider.
