Peter Cooper (born August 1960, Salisbury, England) is a British businessman, journalist and author living in Dubai. Cooper was a partner in the successful dot-com publisher AMEinfo.com sold to Emap plc in 2006, though his unsuccessful ArabianMoney.net financial newsletter and website closed in 2015. ==Career== Cooper's long career in journalism started as the editor of his school magazine, the Old Wordsworthian. Later, Cooper worked in London for 11 years as a financial journalist on business titles including New Civil Engineer, Building and (Construction News ). He was twice IBP Business/Financial Journalist of the Year - securing a global scoop for the largest privatization in history, Russian real estate - and runner up for the BPA Newsletter Editor of the Year. In 1996, Cooper left for Dubai to become the launch editor for Gulf Business magazine of Motivate Publishing. He returned briefly in 1999 only to write his first book (Building Relationships ), The History of Bovis 1885-2000 whose chairman—the late Sir Frank Lampl a concentration camp survivor—Cooper greatly respected and later came to know as a friend. On a round-the-world trip in late 1999 he noted the success of a financial website in Australia and came back to Dubai to promote the idea. This became a news and business information website that attracted HSBC Private Equity Middle East as a significant shareholder in March 2005. In July 2006 the website was wholly acquired by Emap plc for a total of $27 million.〔()〕 Cooper launched his financial comment website www.arabianmoney.net in 2010 and the pioneering investment newsletter ArabianMoney. Both closed in 2015 as he wrongly judged the business dynamics of the Internet. In 2008 he published his second book (Opportunity Dubai ), and his third (Dubai Sabbatical ) in 2010. However, his other investments since the global financial crisis have been more successful, and his confidence in Dubai's recovery rewarded. Those who took this advice from his early ArabianMoney newsletters have also done well. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Cooper (journalist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
