Armen Computing Ltd. Launches New Trader Tax Blog
by David N. Eich - August 7, 2007
We finally decided to bite the bullet and create a blog as part of our web site. We realized it may not be a half bad idea!
For example, many of our users would like to know more about us, and would appreciate being kept up to date on the many issues facing active traders - especially when it comes to information that could help them come tax time.
But a blog also allows us to explore other issues as well. Issues such as the Internet, web design, marketing, email, computers, software, customer service, support, and anything else we would like to talk about for that matter.
Knowledge and understanding are good things, wouldn't you agree? So we hope to pass on some of the knowledge and experience gained since starting this business to anyone who might benefit, as well as having a little bit of fun.
So please check here regularly as we take time to pass along many items of interest to our readers.
