E*Trade Community – New Social Media Networking Site
E*Trade has announced that they are launching a social media site of their own called E*Trade Community. E*Trade Community is designed for investors of all levels of expertise and activity and provides access to peer knowledge by allowing investors to connect with each other, share ideas, and validate their investment strategies.
E*Trade Community Press Release
The E*Trade Community is available for most retail brokerage account types, and all E*Trade customers can view E*Trade Community activity to get information, insights and strategies, without joining as a member. E*Trade Community members can also:
- Take the pulse of the community: Members can gauge real-time sentiment on the markets (bullish to bearish), view the most actively-traded and widely held stocks at E*Trade, and view top performing community members.
- Find and share ideas: Members can start discussions and provide buy, sell and hold opinions on individual stocks.
- Customize member profiles: Members are required to create a profile, and may choose to share recent trading activity, account performance and investment objectives, and upload profile pictures.
- Follow other members: Members can learn what stocks other like-minded investors are trading and follow them to learn how they achieved their results.
With the E*Trade Community, E*Trade is taking the opportunity to better understand customer sentiment — while deepening client engagement, providing a platform to share ideas, and building brand loyalty. Members are encouraged to share information on their investment styles and portfolio holdings, and E*Trade has taken all necessary precautions to protect customers’ personal information including names, account numbers and account values. http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20110314005545/en/E*TRADE-Launches-Online-Investment-Community
