It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, you certainly want to multiply your savings… what about using social websites to do it? Try Stockfriend…

“StockFriend is a new social network for investors that allows you to make predictions about stocks, see others’ stock picks, aggregate community opinions, track their performance, and make new friends. By putting together lots of information, from a variety of sources, we hope to provide participants with a way to have fun and learn to make better investment decisions.Stockfriend is for all levels of stock investors. Everyone can share your picks or analysis with friends or track your or others’ performance”.

My first impression is that Stockfriend is a combination of different websites including digg, yahoo finance, and few other websites. It produces its own content, but it’s not completely innovative. On the it’s very well done, despite the fact that it’s still a beta version. I like the idea of sharing news and opinions. Graphics is poor however and there is much to be done about design.

The options I liked the most in this website are:
–> Share, Rate, pick and virtual trade stocks
–> Browse other people stock picks, profile, performance and learn how to invest.
–> Manage your portfolio, participate in discussion.

Overall mark: 7/10
