"Understanding why your stock goes up or down isn't easy today. Our specialist can't tell me much about what's behind electronic trading, and sometimes half or more of our volume executes away from the exchange. To keep tabs, I've got relationships with traders, bankers, and analytics personnel at the stock exchanges. And Equity Analysis from ModernIR. ModernIR alone clusters volume to highlight what prime program traders are doing, where speculation is occurring, and how our market structure changes when real investors are behind order flow. When my management team can differentiate between rational and speculative market behavior, they're more effective."

"Modern IR has helped distill large volumes of trading data into concise commentary on stock price performance for my Board and Management team, and actionable marketing ideas for me."
Small-cap Telecom IRO
"After careful research and consideration, we decided to make ModernIR's Equity Analysis our one addition to the IR toolbox in 2008. Its been a great value proposition, giving us much deeper insight into the money and behavior behind our price and volume. Armed with these details, I'm always confident about whether changes are rational, or reflective of speculative trading or risk management."

"The increasing use of alpha-focused algorithmic systems - which tend to be
IR-immune - is sobering. These new forces dramatically influence share price, so
it is essential that we leverage this new information to facilitate efficient
access to the capital markets."
Margaret E. Wyrwas - Knight Capital Group, Inc. (Nasdaq:NITE)
Senior Managing Director, Corporate Communications & Investor Relations

"In global markets driven by automation, changing market structure regulation and dynamic investment objectives, today's investor relations professionals require new data points in order to remain relevant and add value in their company's quest to reduce its cost of capital."
Peter Schuman - Coherent Inc. (Nasdaq:COHR)
Director, Investor Relations
Equity Analysis™ subscriber since October 2005
"Equity Analysis™ is important to my IR program. It's given me a much
better sense of when our stock will move because I now see supply/demand
imbalances as they develop and the kind of trading activity behind our daily
volume.
For example, we announced a buyback and the stock dropped. Without Equity
Analysis™, we would've concluded that investors for some reason didn't
like our use of cash, when in fact it was a coincidental program-trading
rotation by a particular firm."
Mary Michaels - Windstream Communications (NYSE:WIN)
Director, Investor Relations & Capital Markets
Equity Analysis™ subscriber since June 2008
"We used ModernIR on a project basis in the summer of 2008, during a period of abnormal volatility. We appreciated the affordable, well-supported insights into what was driving our trading activity. Plus, we didn’t have to sign a contract. That was important to us, because we operate on a tight IR budget."
Garth Sprecher - D&E Communications Inc. (Nasdaq:DECC)
Senior Vice President, Secretary, Director
Equity Analysis™ subscriber since July 2005
"Equity Analysis™ for D&E Communications is about being informed. Using
web links to view Equity Analysis snapshots in Flash, I'm always apprised of
forces affecting our stock and what direction the price is likely to go.
"I can forward the links internally so I don't have to spend time explaining
significant events. Plus, Tim and I have a brief, scheduled call each Thursday
morning to go over any data questions. D&E has a low IR profile and a small IR
budget, yet with Equity Analysis we're equipped with sophisticated awareness of
what drives our equity market."
