Wikinvest - Investing Wiki with Research about Companies, Investment Concepts

Wikinvest - Investing Wiki with Research about Companies, Investment Concepts
Wikinvest is a wiki destination for investors with a wealth of in-depth and practical information on companies, business trends and concepts. Wikinvest articles boil down the important nuggets about a company or concept instead of inundating you with the smorgasbord of P/E ratios, earnings estimates, dividend yield, and run of the mill balance sheet data that you usually find. One great example of this philosophy in action is WikiChart. WikiCharts allow people to annotate and explain what’s happening. Investors have already created over a thousand annotations explaining the stock price movements of hundreds of companies.
Wikinvest company reports are complemented by topical concept reports, which lay out the details of major trends and investment methodologies. Like company reports each concept report also includes an area in which “bulls” and “bears” can add their own take on the impact of sub-prime loans on markets. There are also nice features such as the ability to add user-specific bookmarks on each page’s sidebar and the ability to type in partial company names or concepts instead of ticker codes into their type-ahead search box to get some meaningful content.
The company seeks to take advantage of the large numbers of investors and investing savvy people who are looking to the web to get better trading tips. Wikinvest is meant to be a research portal where anyone can contribute information on company profiles, investment concepts, or chart analysis. The site is a competitor with financial profiles and news listed on Yahoo and Google Finance, as well as Wikia’s investment portal and company profiles on Wikipedia. Wikinvest still faces the stiffest competition from the financial sites themselves, which offer real time news along with their professionally edited content. Wikinvest, however, has a wikis advantage of nimbleness, by quickly adjusting to new trends and interlinking across concepts.
