InfoEx has entered into a definitive agreement with StreetBrains.

StreetBrains is really excited to announce some great news!!

New York, NY – June 8, 2008 - InfoEx (the Information Exchange) has signed a letter of intent to purchase certain assets of StreetBrains.com, LLC. StreetBrains provides numerous services, including marketing, operational support, and e-commerce payment mechanisms for independent research providers. These bundled services allow independent research providers to focus nearly entirely on what they do best, cover companies. This technology also provides access for the independent providers to a quick and efficient method to penetrate the retail market and sell reports on a “one off” basis. InfoEx provides a platform that matches trading activity and user activity on the system with relevant information of all types by creating a profile for each individual user. This profile is derived by use of InfoEx's proprietary "relevance engine" and is also used for email filtering, real time alerts, aggregation of research materials, RSS feeds, and various forms of non-conventional and conventional information. The acquisition will also allow InfoEx to apply its targeting relevance technology, for the first time, to the retail market.

“What attracted us to StreetBrains was the way they act almost as a "Hedge-fund Hotel" for independent research providers. There are many times in which clients have stated they also want the opportunity to discover the "Diamond in the rough", in terms analyst coverage, but time constraints and information overload often prevent the discovery from happening. StreetBrains helps create the diamond and InfoEx makes sure it is seen by the exact person looking for it" stated Dean Stamos, CEO of InfoEx. “While InfoEx has created a unique platform for the targeted delivery of research and information to the institutional investment community, StreetBrains has developed an approach that facilitates research operations, reports, conferences, and webinars which will be distributed via the InfoEx platform" Mr. Stamos added.

The two firms began informal talks a year ago and began working together in the fall on a promotional campaign to attract investment analysts to the combined offering. “Working with Joe Cammarata and Dean on the marketing project and reviewing the technology InfoEx has created made for an easy decision to become part of the information platform that InfoEx has created. Having the flexibility offered through the InfoEx dynamic technology platform will permit the StreetBrains brand to grow. We intend to bring professional level independent research directly to all investors from the long term hold investor to the advanced institutional money manager. The InfoEx platform can accommodate our needs perfectly” say Lawrence Margolis StreetBrains’ Managing Member.

The new StreetBrains platform including an advanced retail online store is expected to be launched in June 2009.

Thanks, Integrity!

Yesterday, Integrity Research blogged about the current state and future of independent research and how the Wall Street woes are affecting analysts.

Integrity touches on some sobering truths regarding the industry, mentioning that ‘grim days’ are ahead. That might sound bleak, but StreetBrains wants you to know that not all’s lost! While analysts may be suffering and the future looks ‘grim’, we’re providing an answer. StreetBrains is a solution to your research needs. By improving our technology and adding more research providers on a weekly basis, we’re leaving our mark on the industry.

We may be in desperate times but there’s always a way to rise above. If you’re making scrupulous decisions and doing right by the people you serve, then you’re already one step ahead of the curve.

We thank Integrity Research for pointing out that StreetBrains has been making moves and adapting to the Wall Street woes. We appreciate being noted as one of the few research providers who are ramping up their offering in response to the poor economy.

StreetBrains has decided not to be a victim. We’re choosing to rise above the problems of the industry and strive for something better. Downsizing our offering would only hurt us; we’ve chosen to upgrade. With the imminent launch of StreetBrains 2.0, we’re proving, day in and day out, that we are here to compete and show the buy-side how good research really gets.

Young But Seasoned

Earlier this week, during a call with potential client, we were asked, "Why StreetBrains?"

We noted the best-of-breed research portal, the enterprise search, the dynamic list of research providers, and all the other benefits our content and technology have to offer. But somehow, that wasn't enough. This client needed more. They were concerned that StreetBrains might be too young, too inexperienced, too new.

We are a young company. There's no denying that. Those concerned with the age of our business have every right to ask, "Why StreetBrains?" If you're an investor looking for research or investment strategies, you want to be sure that the source is stable and well versed in the language and history of the business.

As Barack Obama mentioned in his inauguration speech, we are a young nation but we must choose our better history. At StreetBrains, we do just that. While still a young organization, we have decades of Wall Street experience under our belt. Our analysts are well aged in the industry, some working in their field since they were teenagers.

The platform is new, but the content is seasoned.

We have built the StreetBrains platform around a large and strong group of independent providers who tackle their covered industries with a voice of experience and professionalism. Their work is second to none and we are proud to offer them an outlet that appropriately markets their value.

Though young, we choose our better history. We choose the pedigree of excellence that our content provides. We see ourselves as a very seasoned company and we are proud of the many analysts and research providers who have allowed us to offer the best information money can buy. We will be called too young, too inexperienced, too new, but we won't blink an eye because we are confident in the content that defines us.
