MoneyVidya Blogger Network – My Benefits

In yesterday’s post, I discussed how I am using MoneyVidya site to experiment and rate my investment decisions. I discussed one of my objectives of comparing long term investing with short term stock picking. I am attempting to push myself and show my readers that I am not running away from responsibility. I expect to continue on as long as the site has ability to meet my long term investing philosophy. As of today, it meets my objectives.

I joined MoneyVidya Blog Network and agreed to publish guest post or re-post some of my articles on their Blog Site. I wanted to collect some data to understand whether it has any benefits to me. I believe that an independent data set should speak (rather than me proclaiming hypothetical scenarios). I now have something to discuss with my readers.

I now have something to discuss with my readers. Again the discussion is based on facts (and not on any assumptions or hypothetical scenarios). So I will be posting two articles (1) MoneyVidya stock picking site vis-à-vis long term investing; and (2) how it is beneficial to me.

MoneyVidya is a community-based stock picking site, which is generally perceived as speculative process. Many long term investors, like me, believe that it is not for them and they do not entertain the stock picking process.

It is very natural that at first glance, any long term investor will consider it as a stock picking site. However, I look at moneyvidya site as competitive ranking mechanism. Any long term investor can select their stocks (buy or sell) using a 2 year time frame. Now isn’t that long term investing? I am also sure that moneyvidya management is perhaps looking into how to include more options for long term investing.
