February is Investor Month on BNN

 

 

2009 left many investors on a high note. While the first quarter of the year was a nightmare for many in equity markets, the rebound since March has been stunning.

For BNN, this has lead to a larger audience for both our television programming and for BNN.ca. And it also led to a record number of questions.

People want to know how to build stronger portfolios to take advantage of an economic recovery, or how to mitigate risk. Many investors who were on the sidelines are looking for ways to jump back in. Others are newcomers keen for basic investing advice and information. Most are wondering what 2010 will bring.

BNN – Business News Network will answer these questions during Investor Month. Throughout February we'll bring you compelling conversations and segments designed to help investors keep their finances on track, and educate market newcomers.
