Primary Persona:** Peter is interested in stocks and about learning the underground world of trading and business in terms of advice and tips. He is very familiar with technology, and in many ways is considered an expert in navigating the web. He logs on and begins browsing, luckily stumbling upon a page that offers insider advice on tips and advice in trading and buying stocks; primarily how to become skilled in high stakes business. The first step is understanding the basics, on the website, Peter finds a section entitled “Key Factors”, which includes a brief breakdown on the different types of stocks he needs to familiarize himself with: common stock, preferred stock, and the different classes of stocks, both Class A and Class B. After gaining insight on the advantages of certain stocks and deciding on a the stock a, he then wonders the history of that particular stock’s failures and successes. Linking to a page named “Crashing”, he then gains insight into crashings of stock a, and also finds information on the same page giving information on which stocks will crash in the coming few days, from which company, and which stocks are not worth investing in. There is also a linking page providing critical information on the upcoming rising stocks, which ones are worth investing in, and which ones that should be kept a close eye on. After reading this information, Peter realizes the stock a he has recently purchased will soar 200% in the coming week. He is then led to a page that gives predictions in the coming months of which stocks will rise/fall. It is based on the success/failure of recent stocks backgrounds and based on major company satiability. This predictions page is great for Peter because it offers him underground information on major companies that sell off stocks with their histories and reliance on trades pulling through. Peter reads that most advertising firms in the downtown region of Toronto are trying to sell off their stocks because they have been bought out; he knows to steer clear from here. He then reads that computer hardware companies have recently been soaring and have been making highly profitable trades from other big time companies From here, Peter is immersed in an online and supportive community that gives him fair warning of what to watch out for and what situations to take advantage of. However, he must also be careful of scammers who will try putting false information on the boards. The final page he logs into after reading all the predictions and preparing for what stocks to buy in the coming months are the reputations of the users online. Peter has struck gold with this discovery because he know has a clear picture of which user to is most reliable and which is most untrustworthy. Peter has know learned of the different types of stocks needed within a particular situation, which kind of company to invest in, advice from insiders, and gaining access to a select few users who have extensive experience in business, thus, the ones who will ‘dish out the goods’ on profiting.

Glen is a retired CEO of a Company X, who has years of experience in the way business transactions took place years before technology intervened. He does not know much about the internet but has great advice to give. Glen wants to invest his remainder of shares in a new small company that has not had much luck in its past, but has great potential. He hears from an old friend that a particular website has great information on up and coming companies, with thorough background insight and solid predictions on great future outcomes. After a while, Glen finally finds the website and logs in. He is immediately greated with facts that he once learned in business school, with of course a newer and faster way of doing things, it is after all the 21st century. After reading through and refreshing his mind momentarily, Glen finds stumbles onto a page that is dedicated to the background of companies, small and big. He reads the whole page thoroughly and comes to the decision that Company Z is up and coming, small, but full of potential in the big business world. He also learned that it is predicted by other highly reputated users that Company Z has many fans, and many users investing in it. This seals the deal. He puts the remaining stock he has left into that company, and before leaving the page finds a member named Peter that wants to learn a little about how to predict the failures/successes of stock trading. Glen offers much great insight on how to read the warning signs and instructs Peter on always paying close attention to not only the big trades, but also the smaller details of the companies: positions of employees, positive consumer remarks, etc. After giving as much information as he can muster from his 50 years of the business world, Glen logs off, but not after making some new friends and giving a helping hand to a young, up and coming entrepreneur.
