In the current era of web 2.0, new sites and services are being created left and right. With so many choices, it is easy for people to get overwhelmed with options. Well, I am not going to make it any easier as I have come across a new investor online community.

StockHouse -

A powerful community of investors trading ideas on high growth investment sectors, market trends, small cap stocks and more. Dig into hot industries including natural resources, alternative energy, information technology, digital media and biotech using boards, blogs, groups, articles, charts and other financial tools.

It is certain that trading is nowhere how it was a decade ago. With the web 2.0 movement, many investors are able to come together to try and help each other reach a common goal… GET RICH!

StockHouse has a couple different products available to its members. Some require a paid subscription, while other remain free. Although prices are not high at all, free users can still get a lot out of the site.

Online Community

Just like any social community you can create your profile, select information that interest you, and find other users with similar patterns and likings.

Probably one of the coolest features about this social network, is the ability to share your own contents, charts, and portfolio. By creating your friend database, you can see what other people are looking at.

Depending on your contributions to the community, users will be ranked and awarded reputation. Think of it as becoming an authority on the stock market.

Newsletters

Once you create your user id, members have the option of creating a portfolio and then receiving information about those specific stocks straight to your inbox. Its kind of like creating your personalized news aggregator.

There are also a variety of other informative newsletters that can be selected to help learn more about the market activity.

Message Boards

Just like any community there are also message boards. Ideas, recommendations, and advice can be shared here. See what others are trading and share your opinions. Just beware of those trying to persuade you to buy a junk stock.

***

Overall the community that Stockhouse offers is somewhat a breath of fresh air. With some new features and different services offered, it tries to separate itself from the 10 billion other investor communities out there.
