I just noticed a new site, GroupShares, over in the ads on my site. Here's their welcome message:
GroupShares.com offers free access to an active stock trading log, your own stock trading journal, our stock market user forums, and many other free stock market resources. As a user, you will be able to keep your own virtual portfolio and compare it against other users of the system. This website is going to build towards the first steps of introducing a new way to trade securities online. Hopefully, you will be here for the future! Registering for an account is free!The Future of Internet Investing is Coming
I just registered and took a look around... the portfolio feature is a nice touch. I'll have to play around with it some more. (Unfortunately you can't see anything if you're not registered.) They've got an interesting concept & I'd really like to know what this 'new way to trade' is gonna be.
Prediction: they'll introduce flat-fees instead of commissions.
