 FOREWORD

Welcome to the first edition of the Personal Finance Center
Update, a weekly report on the resources available from the 
GNN Personal Finance Center (PFC). The Update is composed of 
three sections: a Foreword, a list of New Resources added to 
the PFC over the past week, and a rundown of Coming Attractions.


 NEW RESOURCES 

The New Resources section of pfc-update is broken down 
according to the four principal areas of the Personal Finance
Center: Internet Resources, Perspectives, Notes & News, and 
Marketplace.  

* Internet Resources: Two new items have been added to 
the PFC, both electronic mail resources and both relevant 
to the more speculative realms of investing.

- Daily Futures Report:  a daily price and volume report
  covering commodity, securities, and currency futures, 
  distributed free via e-mail by Skipper Brown Co. To receive 
  daily futures quotes, send e-mail with no subject to 
  futures-request@netcom.com.  In the body of them message, 
  type: "join data" (no quotes).

- Daily China Headline News from AsiaInfo:  a good way
  to get a quick take on daily business and investment 
  developments in China.  For a free e-mail subscription, 
  send mail to LISTSERV@ASIAINFO.COM, with the following 
  line in mail body:  SUB HEADLINE Firstname Lastname

* Perspectives: the Perspectives area is where readers will 
find  articles, interviews, and columns on personal finance 
and investment topics.  New material typically runs for a 
month before being retired to the archives.

- "Life with EDGAR" :  an interview with Mark Ginsburg of the 
  NYU Stern School of Business.  Mark is a lead developer of 
  the Internet EDGAR Dissemination Project, an heroic attempt 
  to make the gigabytes of corporate filings to the Securities 
  Exchange Commission available over the Internet.  The Interview 
  includes links to the major EDGAR sites on the Net.

* Notes & News: The Notes & News area contains brief items on
developments of interest to the Internet personal finance
community.  

- With increasing frequency, employers are encouraging workers 
  to  purchase an equity stake in their company.  This week's 
  Notes & News item discusses the trend and points readers to 
  the Foundation for Enterprise Development web server, a rich, 
  if not entirely unbiased, source of information about employee 
  equity plans.

* Marketplace:  A resource for detailed company information.
The Personal Finance Center Marketplace presently includes 
company sponsored information about The Company Corporation; 
Leonard S. Raphael, CPA; and the National Semiconductor 
Corporation's TyIN 4000.


 COMING ATTRACTIONS:

- Available Wednesday 7/20/94: "Online Investment Schemes" : 
  A report from the North American Securities Administrators 
  Association on the investment schemes that are cropping up on 
  the Internet and on commercial online services like Prodigy 
  and Compuserv. The report contains solid advice for the online 
  investment community.  For readers without access to GNN and 
  the World Wide Web, the report is available via e-mail.  Simply 
  send a blank e-mail message to schemes@nasaa.mailer.net . The
  report will be automatically sent to you.

- Later This Week: Richard Eversole presents his view of Multi-
  level Marketing schemes in a response to Arnold Kling's "Make 
  Money Fast".

- Next Week:  Oliver Sharp weighs in with "Classic Mistakes, 
  Fallacies, and Traps" a 'take no prisoners' look at investment 
  errors most of us make at one time or another. 


 FINAL NOTE 

Although responses to items within the update cannot be posted 
directly to the list address, I would be glad to answer any
inquiries via electronic mail.

	Cheers,
                 Abbot
