Expert in international financial markets, mutual funds, investing, retirement planning, investor relations. My online experience extends over 20-plus years, beginning with publishing industry's experimentation with Videotext technology in the early 1980s. I've been in charge of investor relations matters for a then Fortune 500 company (Dow Jones). For eight years I managed business relations with providers of sophisticated real-time market analysis services distributed to professional traders over the Telerate netowrk. The experience gave me a solid grounding in workings of the global financial markets.
