Winner
CNBC – CNBC PRO
Global economic meltdowns. Volatility at record levels. JP Morgan losing $2 billion in the couch cushions. One thing’s for certain: The stock market has never been more wacky, fast-moving and complicated than it is today. Investors don’t just need tools; they need power tools. CNBC has answered the call with its excellent CNBC Pro application that harnesses the power of mobility and helps investors stay constantly abreast of every conceivable metric in the global marketplace. Incredibly, CNBC has logged more than 200K downloads even though the app costs $300-$500 per year, depending on the chosen plan. That means it’s creating tremendous value for users, who get an expertly integrated dose of charts and trading tools, along with CNBC financial reporting on relevant subjects. Overall, a stellar app.
