Comment on Ask HN: would you share your stock portfolio to be able to see everyone else'sparent

Comments

We hide how much you have invested by not disclosing how many positions you purchase.

You'll see trades from people you followed: what's being bought or sold, at what price and how that trader has performed in the past.

I feel like if I don't know how large a position someone is purchasing, the whole intended purpose of this activity becomes rather futile: There is a distinction between a person buying 1 share of Zynga vs. 100000 shares of Zynga and that gets obscured.

Can you explain that? I mean, isn't it just scaled to how much risk someone is willing to take? And I guess...how much money they have?

I would diversify my own portfolio based on my own needs, but if I saw a successful investor picking up new stocks I would be inclined to research it I think.

I think it is more relevant what portion of their portfolio the investor allocates to one stock.. Zynga in your example. Which is something that we will are planning on showing a breakdown of.
