You need to define the value proposition a little better. Maybe you can find some great ways to integrate it with startup investments too, you should check out Angellist API.
Honest and serious question - what's the purpose of this service? Do you think an investor will get higher returns if he knows what his friends are buying? What experts are buying? It seems to me that no serious investor would ever need this type of a service. I understand it's cool to make everything social, but I can get absolutely no useful information from this aspect.<p>The reporting side can definitely be very cool though, and it could provide serious benefits if done right.
I'm with tinkerr: What is the value here? Openfolio.com is another player in this space, but I'm missing the value that this space has.<p>kyu: Can you speak to this? What is the ideal experience that you are hoping for people to get out of this which adds value to their stock market experience?
Also: you have a bug in your password matching algorithm. The following returns "must contain one letter and one number:<p><pre><code> f2JANi#_ywTBcLTeWJ3>y3PsOPt2#pD</code></pre>
I made an account and checked it out, but I don't think I'm going to use it. I just don't get much out of it that I can see right now.<p>Something I immediately noticed: I'd like to have the ability to filter by diversified accounts. If I am looking at someone that gained 50% over the last year, and 91% of their holdings are 1 stock, I don't really gain anything. They bought shares in Tesla a couple of years ago. That's fine, but what do I get out of knowing that? Several members of your top group are like that.<p>When I open up 'professional investors' and go to an individual account, there isn't an easy way that I can see to go back to the overall view of professional investors, and going back sends me to the week's top performers window. I don't really want to go there at that point.<p>What might be useful for me too is a way to see what the professionals listed have invested in tracked over time, based on their past filings. It'd be interesting, anyway.

I qute like this idea. I'm not sure how much I'd use it. Currently though this seems to be aimed at the US market. I'm a UK investor and you don't support my platform, that said I'm not sure my platform even has an API you could plug into. It'd be nice to look up my individual funds to list, so I can see my investments without needing to plugin to my platform.
This is really cool, nice work.<p>It feels to me like all the online brokerages are stuck in the dark ages. I'd like to be able to trade on a nice modern site with good reporting tools. Maybe you guys could build that eventually. I'm sure in the meantime I will be interested in watching people who are doing really well -- that information is extremely interesting to me.
