In case you missed it…last week we announced that you can now track your investments on Geezeo. Woot!
This is pretty exciting…our users have been asking to be able to add investments since we launched earlier this summer and we’re fired up to have this feature now live on the site. Geezeo gives you access to over 3000 investment related financial institutions, so chances are we have yours. Whether it’s an account with a discount broker or a 401k you’ll be able to add it to your Geezeo list of accounts and get the most comprehensive look at your finances possible.
In addition to investment account aggregation, It‘s our goal is to provide our users access to valuable stock rating information in a community atmosphere. In the spirit of this community approach, We have partnered with The Motley Fool to integrate that their CAPS stock rating service, in which investors predict whether stocks will outperform or underperform the S&P 500 and over what time frame this will happen. CAPS ratings currently cover over 5,000 stocks and are generated from more than 1 million individual predictions. The Motley Fool is a great company and we couldn’t be more excited to working with them.
So what’s next? What are we working on now? Well….here’s a recap of features that are currently live and a few that will be rolled out over the next few months.
Features now available on Geezeo!
-
-Aggregate over 6000 financial accounts (checking, saving, credit cards, loans, investments)
-Smart Tagging makes it easy to see where all your money is going
-Financial Goals linked to accounts and spending making it easy to track your progress
-Create and join groups where you can discuss certain money related topics

So…as you can see we’re jamming. It’s been a busy summer. We’re incredibly proud of our product and what our team has been able to accomplish. Honestly…we have the best development team ever…guys that spend days, nights and weekends making Geezeo the best social finance management site in the world.

Congrats on the investment tracking feature. Will it have a performance tracking feature as well?
Also, I know the Motley Fool CAPS service is popular, but promoting an investment strategy based on predicting the future seems more like entertainment than a valid approach to investing (unless evidence exists that shows it actually works). Since this type of content (think Cramer, CNBC, Morningstar, most financial publications, etc.) is designed to excite, trigger emotional responses and capture eyeballs, maybe you could lump it all together and put it in a “back room” section of the site with a warning label “for speculators only, not recommended for investors.”
Just giving you a hard time
I really like where Geezeo is going and the potential it has. Keep the features coming!
