EXECUTIVE REPORT W ealth creation is not exclusive to a certain kind of person; in a world where money is the medium of exchange, wealth creation becomes an imperative for any participant in the global economy. This is everyone’s game. BullsnBears is a comprehensive financial information platform created by students for students. It is a platform where the aspiring investor and/or trader can have specific access to investment and stock marketrelated knowledge presented in a student-friendly way, either to get them to start learning about investing and trading, or to further complement their investment or trading careers. The BullsnBears platform contains educational and experiential learning tools to facilitate the process of teaching about investing and trading and empowering our users, through the site, to gain enough experiential learning to actually start to invest or trade in reality. Student Investor is a product of BullsnBears and is oriented specifically towards students. The Student Investor is conceived as the young, ambitious maverick keenly investing into his or her future. These mavericks hunger for knowledge, with one eye on the present and one eye on the exciting future they are creating. These are the leaders, the role models, the radical students, the overachievers – all with a hunger for the pursuit of progression. They may be future photographers, writers, traders, entrepreneurs, lawyers, or on any other career path, but the thing they have in common is this hunger – and the willingness to be bold. With all necessary resources, the BullsnBears platform helps students right from the stage of not knowing what investing is, all the way through to becoming an advanced day trader themselves. Together with our educational resources; our affordable and efficient entry to the market; our daily newsletter; our fundamental and technical analysis reports; our Student Investor Game and now The Money Tree magazine, we aim to make the financial and investment world a more student- and userfriendly place to be. We are incredibly proud of what the team have managed to put together over the last few months. A lot of students are afraid to step out of their comfortable world of study and do something big – but not this team. And now, with this launch issue of The Money Tree, our own magazine, we roll out yet another bold new project. The Money Tree pays tribute to the exciting world of business in which we all live. Over the last few years, business and finance has lost its appeal to many of the youth, and our vision is to change that. – Steve Jobs Our vision is to make business fun, youthful, exciting and accessible. We plan on revolutionising financial education, with a touch of creativity. The Money Tree has the unique appeal of being able to satisfy this vision, while also opening up the exciting world of wealth: how to create it, what to do with it, and how to operate in a world dominated by it. We are all lifetime students, and in a world where money is necessary, and being able to make it work for you is entirely possible, being a Student Investor is imperative. Benjamin Franklin puts it perfectly when he says: “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” So sit back and enjoy your journey towards financial freedom with the The Money Tree. Imagine having so much money as if it was growing on trees… “The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Matthew Piper & Chad Daniel Bushnell
