My buddy Brad McFadden & I have been working on this for a few months. In quiet beta we've managed to build a community and have some revenues coming in (woot!).
Before we go any further, we thought we should see if we can get some HN feedback on our idea and offering.
The problem we are solving:
For most people, their savings and wealth is tied up in Stocks, Bonds, Commodities, etc. be it retirement funds or investments.
Stock markets and the Finance world is a complex place. Most people are not equipped with the experience and skills to make sensible decisions (Hence most investors loose money in the stock market).
Our Solution
We provide investing and trading strategies, based upon the views of successful Fund Manager Brad McFadden.
Brad published his investment outlook, and example ways (portfolios) to trade that outlook.
Brad's investment style is best described as Global Macro, meaning he identifies long term trends of capital flows and seeks to rides these. A stock picker he is not.
Our users discuss Brad’s view, portfolio trades along their own trading ideas and experiences.
There are video trade ideas in the Tradeflow section which should give you the flavor of Brad's style.

Would love to get your feedback HN! Positive or negative, it will all be helpful!
