MoneyVidya.com is a Stock Picking Community for Indian Investors and Traders.

On MoneyVidya.com Investors and Traders share stock picks. Their Investor Rating System tracks and aggregates stock pick performance and then rates members - so that people can identify and track star performers. MoneyVidya.com aims to bring transparency to equity market investment and trading advice.

Moreover, since anybody can share stock picks, and establish themselves as ‘star performers’, MoneyVidya.com is a platform for genuine advisors to showcase themselves. According to Gautam Kshatriya, CEO, MoneyVidya.com, the website’s the focus is on generating “great content created by knowledgeable and enthusiastic traders and investors”. Started in June 2008, MoneyVidya now boasts of almost 2500 registered users. In March-April 2009, MoneyVidya wrapped up an All India B-School Stock Picking Competition which was a massive hit, with over 200 participants from 12 of the country’s top B schools like IIM Ahmedabad, IIM Bangalore, IIM Calcutta, IIM Lucknow et all.

MoneyVidya.com is a stock picking community for Indian investors, traders and stock market enthusiasts. MoneyVidya is a social stock investing site geared for the Indian stock market.

On MoneyVidya.com you can: Discuss stocks, sectors and investment strategies with friends and top rated members Make stock picks and become a top member Find and profit from picks which match your personal investment style

MoneyVidya.com is an online community where anybody can share stock recommendations. Its differentiator from standard message boards and other social investing sites is its superior Investor Rating System, which rates each member (on a 5 star scale) based the performance of past recommendations (stock picks) that the member has shared with the community. Since the rating takes into account the past performance rather than the user feedback, it ceases to be a popularity contest, which most social networks eventually turn out to be.

The central features of MoneyVidya.com are the ability to follow stock picks that other members have made, analyze their track record and investment style and to establish personal credibility by making your own stock picks for the community. While there is no shortage of people – on websites, messageboards, chat rooms, groups, TV, and newspapers – who are willing to give stock picks, very rarely is this advice supported by any demonstrable track record. Moreover, no consideration is given to the fact that the person giving the advice may have very different investment goals to you. If you are a low risk, long term investor, but the so-called ‘expert’ is a short term, high risk investor, following their advice may do you more harm than good. MoneyVidya allows everyone to be a stock analyst and give their picks. Also, it allows the users to follow the relevant picks from expert analysts and make informed decisions. Further, the website has a blog featuring some of the prominent financial bloggers who contribute with their expert comments and analysis. MoneyVidya thus proves to be a perfect starting point for a new stock market enthusiast as well as a perfect playing ground for the existing gurus.
