Prior to that he served as Chief Information Officer and was responsible for all information technology initiatives, including business applications, engineering, emerging technology and architecture, information security, trading operations and user experience. Mr. Kelley was also the Head of their Retail Investor and Active Trader Group & Special Projects and joined TD AMERITRADE in June 2006 as the Senior Vice President of the Retail Investor Group.

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."
