Message from the Publisher

Last year, we redesigned the Nilson Report and soon after were honored to
receive an Eddie Award from Folio for excellence in design and content in the
category B2B–Banking, Finance and Business. Since then, we have continued
to develop our design and expand both the feature content and proprietary
statistics we provide to our subscribers. We are delighted to announce that we
have received an Eddie Award for the second year in a row.
