My co-founder and I came up with the idea for Utradea about a year ago when we realized that we loved discussing our investment/stock ideas and process. This expanded within our friend group, at least to people who were interested in the stock market.

We thought it would be great to have a platform where we could have social interactions and combine it with core investment information/data. We didn’t like having to use multiple websites to connect all the pieces of information needed to make investment decisions. There are some sites out there that focus on providing investment information (Seeking Alpha), and other that focus more on the social interaction of investing (StockTwits).

Utradea is a social platform for investment ideas and insights. It is built around the concept that people enjoy sharing and discussing investment ideas. We built the usual social media functions (comments, chat, like a post, etc.) and included important investment data, charts, and a portfolio to help you track your investments.

Thanks for checking it out!

Congrats, very well done! I look forward to trying this. Just curious: What framework are you using for the frontend?

One feature request right away: Please offer a light mode. Dark mode is very tiresome for me to look at for longer periods of time.

Following up on the lightmode request. It's difficult to switch from income statement to cashflow or balance sheet because the menu is dark text on dark background. Additionally, you may want to add some spacing between % return and current price in the top leaders section to improve visuals for stocks with prices > $1,000.

Good catch, I will update menu background and at some spacing for the leader section. Thanks!

[stuartjm5]

Thanks for checking it out - we are using React. We made the design decision to go with Dark Mode off the bat. I see where you are coming from, we have had a few people mention that.

Cool idea. I will continue to check in to see your progress.

One note: the back arrow in the upper left is strange. Usually that’s where I find the menu. My browser already has plenty of ways to go back, so that element on your site seems confusing and unnecessary.

[stuartjm5]

Yeah that's a good point, we did want to make it easy for people to go back - might be a bit redundant. We are launching an app soon which will be better than mobile site browsing.

What's wrong with Reddit?

For example, the Hardcore Berkshire Hathaway subreddit:

https://old.reddit.com/r/brkb/

That's discussion and news, with dozens of value investor moderators and thousands of members. The guy who runs it is a legend (u/100_PERCENT_BRKB).

Reddit has great investment communities.

Hello Charlie, I'm a huge fan! (Yes, I know are not the real Charles)

Could you recommend me other good subreddits for a graham / fisher / warren / charlie style of valuing securities and investment?

Great idea and looks like very nice design at first glance -- I'll sign up and check out the customizations!

Thanks!

How does it compare to SumZero?

[stuartjm5]

SumZero is focused on Finance professionals. People who are working in the industry as their main job. WE are providing a platform for retail investors so we are targeting a different demographic.
