ABOUT US

Ant & Sons provides individual investors, brokers, institutions, traders and corporate decision makers with timely news and analysis that they can use on a regular basis to manage their trading and investments. We produce a suite of free membership based services that includes monthly columns such as Face Off, The Real Deal, Takes a Look and Trader’s Corner. Other content offerings include our weekly newsletter and analytic news related services through Analyst Scorecard, Ahead of the Ticker, Trader’s Beacon and Word on the Street.

In a 2004 interview that was published by the Greenwich Time, Business Editor Harold Davis described the Ant & Sons co-founders as “having a shared love of the financial markets, and decided to start a small business.” He went on to say that “while other research firms have a much larger presence, Ant & Sons strives to break stories before they are covered by mass media and present them in an unbiased way.” Adding to this, the co-founders said that “other research firms might be promoting what they own, but we’re independent. We want people that read our articles to take something away from them. We don’t want to mislead or print false information. We present both sides of the argument.”

Recognition of the quality and increasing reach of content published by Ant & Sons is evidenced by its financial news columns and headlines that can be seen on a wide range of sites including Yahoo Finance, AOL Money, Google News and Finance, Reuters, Fox News and Seeking Alpha.
