Social Bookmarking Wall St. Style

There is another social networking site in town. MyWallSt.net is different though in that it is focused on the stock market and investing in general. They also have a stock game called the rookie challenge that lets you try out strategies and the tips and information you gather from the site and also has cash prizes. Members create a profile and this can be viewed by everyone are rated by their performance and you can view portfolios daily, weekly, monthly, and overall return rates.

The advantage of the site over many traditional stock publications is that many times by time these go to print the information is already "dated." The information here is fresh and timely. Also I find that for many people these publications just seem to talk above them. The learning curve when it comes to the stock market is steep, and many traditional stock publications don't take the "rookie" investor into account. I found that it is not the case on MyWallSt.net. The level of knowledge was outstanding and the willingness to answer questions and interact with those that are new was incredible.

Members can build a reputation by solid performance. Not only by performance but interaction with other members. There is a great variety of people from "rookies" to "experts." Having this ability to interact with people that you can bounce ideas off of is a great benefit. Having the advice of friends is a wonderful source of information when it comes to stocks, the market, and financial decisions in general. I wouldn't make this your sole source of stock market information. I do feel, however, that it could be a great complimentary source of information and a great tool in your overall investing strategy and could even lead you to some great stock picks.

If you are one of the many people that like to take a more hands on role in your retirement or investment portfolio this site is most definitely for you. I think you should head over and check out the site. Poke around a bit. Like me I am sure you will like what you see.

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1. In the words of Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, "There can be only One." Winner that is. E

The Stripping Aristologist Contest Winner

Well as you can see from the above screen capture the winning entry is #5. Heading over to the contest post and looking through the comments and the trackbacks I found that Anton of Link Right Contests was entry #5 with his guess of Julia Child. The actual answer was incorrect so he won the $50 but not the bonus prize. I was a bit generous to 2 entries that commented and entered but did not give the link. I had to search their blog to find the answer. There were several that commented and gave a link to their blog but I could not find a post about the contest or any links back to this blog. Anywho....Congrats to Anton and thank you all so much for reading and taking the time to interact with this blog and really make it what it is. Oh and Anton you might want to consider some kind of Contact Me link for your blog. Other than trackback to your post and a comment I have no way to contact you regarding your winning entry. Having a Contact Me is one of the first things any blogger should
