About
Welcome to DailyFinance, a web site offering the best in business and financial news and analysis. Our goal is to combine the immediacy and conversational tone of blogs with the serious reporting and financial expertise of traditional journalism, and to serve it up with top-notch online data and investing tools.
Our mission at DailyFinance is to help our readers navigate through perilous economic times and make better decisions about the future. We also will cover topics that aren't in the daily flow of news, with reports from our growing team of skilled reporters with skeptical natures and a shared mission to uncover the truth. We won't sugarcoat and we won't hype. With every story we aim to tell you not just what is happening, but what you can do about it.
Please contact editors or writers here with any story ideas and suggestions for improving DailyFinance. We would love to hear from you.
