SocialPicks and Social Stock Sites

21 April 2006 1,389 views 9 Comments

Jason just posted in our forums about a new site called SocialPicks (announcement) which allows users to rate and review stocks online in a Digg-like social fashion. This could be a really interesting experiment in social investing. Will it lead to finding more undiscovered stocks or will it be abused and go to prove that there are few free lunches on Wall Street?

I also found a post on Mashable.com that is touting DigStock, another social-based stock community.

    I heard about StockTickr when it came out, but haven’t taken a good look at it. Now would be a good time to do a comparison.

    I tried it and it’s cool, I think the apperance is slightly better than Wikinancial.com though. Eventhough the topic is almost the same

This is NOT the first time that InvestorGeeks have reviewed sites that try to bring to fun into stock picking with social websites. But I don’t believe my fellow InvestorGeeks have reviewed Motley Fools CAPS; which I believe is on the right track to injecting some fun into a mundane task. [...]
