Trying this again... for the 5th time. I just can't seem to find the motivation to keep these things updated.

Anyway, I watched the TechCrunch 50 event awhile back. I seen a company on there that really intrigued me - Emerginvest. They aggregate financial information from around the world, and package it nicely into one service. I think they should offer this information as a one-stop-shop data feed, free of charge. Apparently they didn't think so.

Another company also caught my attention - Personal RIA (from here on out, PR). They track RIA portfolios. These are basically personal mutual funds for wealthy investors, managed by individuals licensed by the SEC. Non-wealthy individuals can use PR to mimic the portfolios of the RIA's. Unlike Emerginvest, this data IS proprietary.

So far, the team at PR seems WAY more responsive, and they're actually looking for co-founders. I've been doing research and lots of planning... I think I have some proposals that could help gain significant market share and make a really kick ass portal product.

Now if only the economy would cooperate.
