[edit] Rendering for all examples

From 1994 to 2000, Wales served as research director at Chicago Options Associates, a futures and options trading firm in Chicago.[1] By "speculating on interest rate and foreign-currency fluctuations" he had soon earned enough to "support himself and his wife for the rest of their lives," according to Daniel Pink of Wired Magazine.[2] During this time one of the projects Wales undertook was the creation of the web portal Bomis, a website featuring user generated webrings that, according to The Atlantic Monthly, meant the site "found itself positioned as the Playboy of the Internet".[3] For a time the company sold erotic photographs[4] and Wales described the site as having had "a market similar to say Maxim magazine. So it's kind of a guy-oriented search engine".[1] Although Wales is no longer connected with the company his involvement with Bomis has been criticised with questions frequently asked about the nature of its content.[5][6] Bomis also provided the initial funding for the Nupedia project.[2]
