Capabilities to Silicon Investor
SEATTLE, May 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Go2Net, Inc. (Nasdaq: GNET), a
network of branded, technology- and community-driven Web sites (
go2net.com ), today announced the acquisition of IQC.com (
iqc.com ) for approximately $20 million in Go2Net stock. The
transaction is effective immediately and brings Go2Net a powerful suite of
free and subscription-based financial analysis and real-time charting
services, which it will fully integrate with Go2Net's Silicon Investor (
siliconinvestor.com ), the Web's premier financial discussion
site.
IQC's subscription-based IQ Chart includes robust, real-time technical
charts, which continuously monitor market indices and individual company
performances, updating automatically every minute throughout the trading
day. IQ Chart also offers Technical Stock Scan, enabling investors to locate
individual stocks based on criteria they select and customize, from more
than 100 variables such as technical indicators, fundamental company
information, price and volume. Additionally, IQC Chart features IQC Zone,
a proprietary stock indicator designed to minimize false signals in volatile
market conditions. Using an artificial intelligence algorithm back-tested over
30 years of historical data, IQC Zone displays color-coded bullish and
bearish signals for any stock a user selects. IQC Chart is the world's first
100% pure Java-based financial analysis tool and is available for $24.95
per month.
"This is a significant step in establishing Silicon Investor as the Web's
destination of choice for sophisticated investors, adding some of the most
timely and technically advanced financial research capabilities available
anywhere," said Russell C. Horowitz, Go2Net CEO. "The number one
request for product improvement related to Silicon Investor has been for
comprehensive financial charting and equity tracking opportunities. We
believe Silicon Investor's loyal base of users will find tremendous value and
utility in what IQC brings."
Also to be integrated with Silicon Investor, IQC's free-of-charge offerings
include comprehensive and continuously updated basic stock charts and
tracking summaries of the world's financial indices, including major,
secondary, U.S. and international exchanges. The free charts provide
technical analysis of all publicly traded companies, along with price history
charts covering time increments ranging from every five minutes to monthly.
IQC also provides 'Top 10' listings in an array of categories, including the
financial markets' most active, biggest gainers (price and percentage) and
biggest losers (price and percentage), among other areas. |
