Investor's Business Daily

IBD provides an unconventional approach to interpreting the economy, and identifying emerging stock market trends. Its editorial foundation deals with facts only and aims to provide clarity to issues that impacts investors and business people.

IBD was founded in 1983 by William J. O'Neil. O'Neil was a pioneer in the 1960s to introduce computerized stock market information and create historical tracking of stock performance. He created many screens and IBD's well-known stock tables that rate stocks against others.

O'Neil's goal in designing IBD was to report data relevant to finding emerging stock leadership as well as discussing perspectives that were not being covered by the media. O'Neil's approach involved databasing all stock performance statistics and creating programs to highlight top performing stocks.

Over the years, IBD's content always set out to be different and consistently promoted focus on relevant issues. Investor's Business Daily was the only paper that wrote about emerging market weakness in 2000, and followers were able to save their profits from the 1990s.

Many subsequent innovations over the years went into Investor's Business Daily, making the paper unique, groundbreaking and without peer.
