The Investor Advisor mashup is actually a set of interconnected mashups that supports an investor looking for a good business to invest in:
Imagine you want to search for a good business investment idea. Let's say you want invest in a chocolate-making company. So you go to your mashup and type "chocolate" in.
The next thing you see is a layout which tells you which companies have public offerings in the market, for you to see if it's a good idea to invest in such a business. There's also the chance to click on any of those companies and reveal more information and a brief summary of them.
You decided that you want to invest in 'JackBe Corp. (JKBC)' (a great chocolate company) but you stop and think "I live inAustralia and I don't know the price of the dollar". Well now you do! There's an information box which tells you your country, the currency and the rate against the US dollar.
Not enough? There's also a Google map to plan a trip to close the deal in person. You get to see the distance to your destination. And last but not least there's Google Finance News which tells you the latest headlines related to your initial input.
