Picking Better Stocks With Stockpickr

Browsing Pro Portfolios:

Using a dozen or so databases, both public and proprietary, we've come up with the top 1000 mutual funds and hedge funds and super investors (Warren Buffett, George Soros, etc) and have entered their top holdings into our database. Using Stockpickr you can easily browse these portfolios, drill down on stocks that interest you, check out overlapping funds and portfolios, etc.

Spotlight Portfolios:

Every day we highlight interesting portfolios that we think are topical or investment-worthy -- which I'll also be writing about in my daily column on TheStreet.com (click here for today's column, which concerns George Soros). These run the gamut: IBDs list of top-rated stocks (using their Canslim methodology) that are moving higher on unusual volume; the list of top 10 stocks trading below their current net asset value; the top closed-end funds trading at the highest discount to their net asset value; a list of alternative energy stocks that we think will do well; and many more.

Top-Rated Portfolios:

We keep track of the top-rated portfolios as ranked by the Stockpickr community. In addition to being a ranking mechanism, rating a portfolio also functions as a bookmark for you. All the portfolios you rate can be tracked on your home page at Stockpickr. Additionally, whenever a portfolio you've rated a "4" is updated, you receive an email informing you of the change.

Most-Viewed Portfolios:

It's interesting to follow the portfolios of the ones that have been the most viewed on the site. Warren Buffett is usually a favorite, along with the "other oracle of Omaha" -- Wally Weitz, who runs the Weitz mutual funds -- who is the fifth most viewed. Another favorite is our list of Takeover Targets which is the tenth most viewed. You can check the rest out here.
