Stockopedia news - fresh designs, dot com fever and one huge show !
It's been a huge few months at Stockopedia which have culminated in some big overnight changes that you may have noticed. The team has been growing here and the impact is starting to bear fruit. I'll update members further on what's happening at Stockopedia Towers in future, but for now I'll just update on a couple of bits of news:
Dotcom
Firstly, we are now officially a dot com ! It's taken us years to win the domain in auction and we've finally decided to make the switch. Please do update your bookmarks. All dot co dot uk web addresses will automatically redirect to the dot com, but you'll find loading quicker if you go directly. Using the dot com will help as we gradually internationalise and extend the reach of the website to the USA and Asia.
Fresh Designs
Secondly, we've 'soft launched' a new logo, and a fresh lick of paint to the website. We finally managed to find a wonderful designer Adam Collingburn who is already having a massive impact on the way things are presented here. Our goals are to make all rather highbrow stuff we do at Stockopedia very very accessible and easy to understand and Adam has the challenge of helping to communicate that both through design but also through an improved user interface / experience on the site. Over the next year there will be some big changes, but the Stockopedia experience you know and love will be preserved. Change can be annoying as we all get stuck in our habits, but I'm sure that everyone will appreciate it once the website is fully mobilised, tablet and mobile ready !
Stock Ranks on Stock Reports
You keep asking for this and now we've delivered. There's a new box at the top of all Stock Reports with the Value Rank, Quality Rank, Momentum Rank and composite QVM Stock Rank. The Growth Rank hasn't made it - due mainly to our backtesting results which show that growth isn't the best predictor of future stock market returns. Don't worry we'll be making Stock Reports customisable in future so you can choose what is displayed, but for now we've edited it out. I'll be discussing this at the London Investor Show tomorrow:
London Investor Show
Please do join us tomorrow at the London Investor Show - we have a HUGE stand 6m x 3m and we'll have seminars running all day and 3 demo computers. You can also join me at 12.30pm in the main auditorium for a great workshop on "How to Select Winning Shares" - I have an essay crisis on now, so that's it from me !
PS - For all who are feeling uneasy about these changes - please remember this great anonymous saying that:
"To change is difficult, Not to change is fatal !".

CORRECTION should be ADN not ADT.
Of course it is, one good tip of information can lead you to another successful outcome. Chat to other people, I am always on the lookout for extra information. Latest chat today ADT & Lloyds. The result ADT & Lloyds shares have both gone up today. Will ADT be my third company to double this year, I wonder?
My tip for the day is have at least 3 bank accounts. This was a tip given to me in the insurance business. This chap told me "John, money is never a problem for me, I borrow as much as I can from bank number 1 until they scream for some money, then I pay them back from bank number2, when they want money back I get it from bank number 3 & then back to bank number1 again, money is never a problem for me" HE was happy with that, but it does make sense having 2 or three banks to fall back on, there is always safety in numbers. It does not seem to stop the USA with yet another deal to go ahead for $2.9 billion to build another dam, adding to the debt.
Cheers from Lightnintiger enjoy the show.
Never having been to the London Investor show besides the fact that Stockopedia are there, is it a good show to attend?
Fantastic something new is happening all the time. Yesterday I talked to my niece in Australia who is into Telstra (TESAX) bought about 2 years ago @ $2.80 with a 10% dividend of 28cents. She is happy because she has almost doubled her money at about $5.03 still receiving her dividend of 28 cents equivalent to around 5.56% now. Something new for me is PLUS500 from Israel ,where I invested into. It fits the screen. It also is free to deal worldwide. We have the technology. You may be asking why this company? It is because all the successful companies like google, started from Isreal. I got that information from my 700 club on sky tv chanel 581. Have a look it's free.
Cheers from Lightningtiger Israel & Australia have a great show.
