Cake Financial , a startup that lets you compare stock picks with other investors, is unveiling three features that may help separate it from a large pack of competitors. The San Francisco, Calif.-based company already lets users import historical stock-investment data for up to 10 years from 70 brokerage firms . Now it’s leveraging that data to provide a stock rating system, an index fund based on the holdings of its top ten percent of investors, and an investment idea generation engine that, when launched, will automatically make transactions on the behalf of the user. The stock rating system, called Cake Take, lets users grade stocks A through F and weights each grade based on the grading investor’s own stock portfolio activity. It automatically updates 2,100 stocks multiple times per day. It’s similar to Morning Star and Charles Schwab’s 5-star systems that rank stocks for ’sentiment’ around the relative value of a particular security.

401k Regulations From: preprod.dailymotion.com Post Date: 2008-11-11 23:52:40
