Find Out if You're a Buffett or a Buffoon at Tickerspy

By Erik Larkin, PCWorld

Roll up a real or wishful-thinking stock portfolio at a new in-beta investment Web site, Tickerspy.com, and see if you have what it takes to beat Warren Buffett.

The site aims to build an investment community that shares news and tips and a little bit of chest-thumping as members compare their portfolio's perfomance against each other and against professional investors - including an estimated comparison point for Berkshire Hathaway, Buffet's $130,000-per share iconic company.

You can track particular members or professional investors, and then check a tab of alerts on the site to see when their portfolios change. You'll also see alerts for the top pro and member portfolios for each day.

Tickerspy members can add links to stories of interest, or post up their own words of wisdom. Those links or posts then show up for other users under alerts if they deal with items in their portfolios.

The site will send an optional daily e-mail with your portfolio's performance, posted items of interest and a list of the day's top traders.

Tickerspy is by no means a replacement for a full-service finance site like Yahoo's, and it sadly lacks the ability to track mutual fund symbols. But there's good fun and info to be had from seeing how your trading technique stacks up.
