April 16, 2009 (FinancialWire) -- If hearing news such as, "The S&P 500 (SPX), Dow Jones Industrials (INDU), NYSE Composite (NYE) and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQ) all made significant progress against their 50-day rolling averages through Friday," does not carry as much meaning for you as the news source seems to assume it should carry for you, now there's "Street School".

FinancialWire(tm) has now launched new initiative spearheaded by an article series entitled Street School, intended to help bridge the understanding gap between Main Street and Wall Street. Explaining the motivation behind the news service's new feature, Bob Farley, FinancialWire(tm)'s Editor-in-Chief said, "Too often, news and information about stocks, the market and the financial community in general is presented in a way that assumes the audience has knowledge of certain terms, mechanisms and dynamics, which are necessary to understand in order for that news and information to have any real meaning."

According to Farley, Street School takes none of that for granted, and makes no such assumptions. In fact, he further explains that his news staff has invested a significant amount of time and energy discovering that "the truth of the matter is a very small minority of people are able to fully understand financial news, analysis and commentary as it is usually presented to the public."

The most recent Street School entries will be accessible via the Investrend Information Portal (http://www.investrend.com/articles/secondlevel.asp?level=774), where currently anyone interested is encouraged to "get in touch and let Street School know the subjects you'd like to see covered," via Street School's email address (streetschool@investrend.com). The Street School post closes saying, "we look forward to seeing you in class."
