I’ve been beta testing a new free service called StockTickr for the last few weeks and am very impressed with it . For you Web 2.0 fans, think of it as a cross between del.icio.us and an ‘old school’ online portfolio tracker. It allows you track stocks via your own keywords so that they’re easier to find. For example, I have stocks tagged with things like “WaitingForPullback” or “50DayMovingAverageBounce”. Those labels allow me to easily find stocks that I might want to trade given a certain situation.

Here’s a note from the stocktickr blog:

We hope that stocktickr will change the way people trade stocks by providing a way to collaborate on stock picks in a way people can trust. Message boards are littered with “pump and dump” schemes and have turned into excellent sources of completely unreliable information. stocktickr aims to put a little trust and reputation back into stock collaboration.

stocktickr is currently in working (albeit beta) form with occasional invites floating around. Watch this blog and others for invites that become available over the coming days.

In true Web 2.0 fashion the tracking/tagging portion of the service is free. There are additional features, such as a trading journal complete with expectancy calculations, that will be available to paid ‘Pro’ accounts. You can sign up to be notified when the service goes live on the stocktickr home page.
