It’s about results that you can understand. The site is a throwback to the days you don’t need star wars-like software programs to succeed. Discipline, planning, and not inundating yourself with millions of opinions is how to make it as a trader. You get to see which stocks are moving and why and how to profit. The dividend stocks section is gold for long-term investors. There isn’t a much better return than dividend stocks where the dividends are re-invested over time. It's premium content that is free. Keep it simple and you will succeed.</p>paul rubilloTue, 26 Feb 2008 18:13:03 -0000http://mashable.com/2008/02/25/cake-financial-facebook-app/#comment-5995692<p>This is neat. Actually, this might be more appealing than their current site right now. However, there are still limitations with these "investment networks." You don't _LEARN_. So I guess if you're already comfortable in investing and believe in all your abilities, using a Cake or Covestor will be neat to prod about your success and fish for ideas. Ultimately, it doesn't give you the educational value add, though.</p>Steven LoiTue, 26 Feb 2008 16:49:52 -0000http://mashable.com/2008/02/25/cake-financial-facebook-app/#comment-5995691<p>I like this feature! It is similar to <a href="http://Covestor.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="Covestor.com">Covestor.com</a>, which is a great way to track other people's (including non-friends) investment portfolios and get investment ideas.</p>HenryTue, 26 Feb 2008 08:43:19 -0000http://mashable.com/2008/02/25/cake-financial-facebook-app/#comment-5995690<p>IMHO the value of such application will be if your friends are smart investors. In other cases it will be a little bit funny.</p>EugeneKovalikTue, 26 Feb 2008 01:56:52 -0000http://mashable.com/2008/02/25/cake-financial-facebook-app/#comment-5995689<p>The whole "you are outperforming lydia" part seems a bit cruel considering it's someone's finances you are talking about. Is Facebook really the right venue to let your friends know they've made poor investment decisions?</p>CraziestGadgets.comTue, 26 Feb 2008 01:12:07 -0000
