Social Picks is a nice looking stock tracking application that was born in Vancouver, Canada. It now has offices in Vancouver and in the Silicon Valley. I’m frustrated with some changes made at Stockhouse and this service may be my replacement.

It’s got a nice community aspect by allowing you to see the performance of other users of the system. It features tagging to interrelate the data and allows you to both find and post news about the companies you’re watching.

A couple features I’d like to see are:

• Allow you to track the # of shares owned. (privately outside the community aspect.)
• Allow you to be bearish OR bullish on a stock.
• Allow you to keep certain stocks in your portfolio private.

The interface is very clean and usable and I’ll be interested to see how the community aspects of seeing other peoples watchlists help me find new and interesting stocks to invest in.
