Founded in 2004 by Lon Juricic, StreetInsider.com emerged as a response to the growing need for real-time financial news and analysis. Juricic, a former stock trader, recognized the value of timely information in the fast-paced world of finance and decided to create a platform that could deliver breaking news to investors and traders quickly and efficiently. Today, StreetInsider.com remains independently owned and operated, with Juricic still at the helm as the company's president. StreetInsider.com primarily covers financial news, including stock market updates, earnings reports, mergers and acquisitions, and other business-related topics. Based in the United States, the website has become a go-to source for investors, traders, and financial professionals seeking up-to-the-minute information on market movements and corporate actions. While their focus is on finance, they also touch on political and economic news that impacts the markets. One interesting fact: A unique aspect of StreetInsider.com is its "Hot Tips" section, where users can submit anonymous tips about potential market-moving events or corporate actions. This feature has occasionally led to the site breaking major financial news stories before larger media outlets.
