Dr. Louro commented, "We achieved another incredibly important
milestone in the history and evolution of Investview when
Dave Kelley decided to join our
team. Dave is a demonstrated leader and innovator in the
financial services industry. Dave complements the talents of
our other recent addition, Randy
MacDonald. These gentlemen join me in a vision of
filling a void investors suffer from each day as they seek superior
investor education, tools and algorithms which promote investors to
take more responsibility for their financial health. This
void is not only education about health and wealth but the
application of that education into actionable ideas. We
believe we have differentiating tools and processes that will allow
Investview to reach a standard of excellence in the financial
services space. Our corporate governance, our platform, our
staff, our planned acquisitions, and our new business model have
re-positioned this company to become a major disruptive factor for
wealth management and self-directed investing."
Mr. Kelley said, "I am very excited about the synergy of Dr.
Louro's vision for combining health management with wealth
management. Even more exciting is the synergy of on-line
education and its application to wealth managers and self-directed
investors. Starting with a proven management team, a
whiteboard to improve on our collective successes, an outstanding
product and a struggling economy, which creates many potential
partners, I envision great opportunities and the ability to
introduce new innovations to our clients. With the recent
consolidation of Options Express and Think or Swim, there is a
major opportunity to service self-directed investors seeking
education and actionable ideas."
