Featured on the Wikinvest.com Homepage

Very cool, check out the “Daily Angle” on the wikinvest.com homepage.

Our article, Put Call Ratio Suggests a Market Sell Off is Coming is the feature today which was a very simple article suggesting perhaps the market was a bit too bullish heading into the end of last week.

For those who have not heard of wikinvest.com, a great piece was written up on them today by the New York Times:

Following the model of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, Wikinvest is building a database of user-generated investment information on popular stocks. A senior at Yale writes about the energy industry, for example, while a former stockbroker covers technology and a mother in Arizona tracks children’s retail chains.

Wikinvest, which recently licensed some content to the Web sites of USA Today and Forbes, seeks to be an alternative to Web portals that are little more than “a data dump” of income statements and government filings, said Parker Conrad, a co-founder.

Users annotate stock charts with notes explaining peaks and valleys, edit company profiles and opine about whether to buy or sell. The site is creating a wire service with articles from finance blogs and building a cheat sheet to guide readers through financial filings by defining terms and comparing a company’s performance to competitors’.

We featured wikinvest.com in our recent article citing the best free stock chart websites. The site is definitely worth a visit so check them out.
