The world of financial Web sites is a confusing maze to the investing public. The individual investor is faced with hundreds of sites, a host of seemingly disjointed capabilities and endless claims of instant success. Because they don't know how to navigate this chaos, the public does not take full advantage of the powerful capabilities that exist on the Web. 

The NAOI addresses this problem by including in each of our Investing Study Courses a Web Resource Directory that presents to students the best sites on the Web in a number of categories. Not only are the best sites listed, but the Study Courses discuss when and how they should be used. This is the "roadmap" that individual investors need to effectively utilize investing Web Resources.

Your organization can be a part of the NAOI Web Resource Directoryvia the NAOI Recommended Site Program. The information below shows you how.

The NAOI is looking for the best sites on the Web in a number of investing categories that are shown at the bottom of this page. If you believe that your organization's Web site is the absolute best in one or more of these categories then we would like to consider it for inclusion in our Web Resource Directory. 

Only approximately 25 sites are included in the directory at any one time. Your site may already be an NAOI Recommended Site. Contact us to find out if it is. If it is not, send us your Web link, the category you believe your site excels in and your contact information. We will review it and if we agree that it provides substantial value to the individual investor community then we will include it in our directory.

The Benefits Recommended Site Status

Sites that are accepted as NAOI Recommended Sites receive the following benefits:

• Your site will be included in the NAOI Web Resource Directory that is presented in each of our Investor Education Courses. As a result it will be visited by potentially thousands of students. Your site will be discussed as a part of our classroom lectures and its use will be demonstrated.

The links presented point to only the best sites on the Web in each category. These are NAOI Recommended Sites. If you feel your organization is the "best of the best" in one or more of these categories, let us know. We would be happy to evaluate your site for inclusion in the Directory.
