Sponsored by PR Newswire and powered by DeusM, Investor Uprising is a comprehensive resource for individual investors, which includes breaking financial news and analysis, a custom index of 25 market moving companies, investment tips and original research reports.  The site encourages interaction through topical message boards and showcases contributed blogs from business leaders, investment professionals, and financial analysts looking at the latest market developments.  PR Newswire's customers' news is also featured on the site, increasing its reach and visibility to the appropriate audiences.

The initial blog lineup includes Wealthfront CEO, Andy Rachleff; Discovery Investing Publisher, Michael Berry; anyoption.com Chief Strategist, Cliff Wachtel; business journalist Edward Klink; and financial journalist and author of Hedge Funds for Dummies and Socially Responsible Investing for Dummies, Ann Logue.

R. Scott Raynovich, Editor-in-Chief of Investor Uprising, is the former Editorial Director of the award-winning telecom website, Light Reading and the former Investment Editor of the original Redherring.com, which won a Folio award of excellence after its debut in 1999.  Investor Uprising's community editor, Noreen Seebacher, is an award-winning former business reporter for the Detroit News and the Pittsburgh Press.

"Investor Uprising taps today's zeitgeist of frustration with the market and the misguided bankers who burned America," Raynovich said. "We help individual investors by putting them back on the path of investment fundamentals, helping them find true value and empowering them to make their own investing decisions."
