Hey Mike, Site looks great and what a great concept. I tried dabbling in investments a few years back, signed up for a Westpac Online Investing account (they've been my bank for ages) but then as mentioned by other people just didn't know how to begin. I am excited at the prospects of being able to use a site like yours to get started. Basically you have reignited my interest in investments. I do think the site functions beautifully well (account, profile and social integration are smooth and classy), but like Chris Were stated - I would like to see more platforms available other than e*trade (which is American?). I am not sure what platform Westpac OI uses but if Roboinvest supported it and I could connect the two accounts, I would have likely already put some money in.
Great work mate, all the best Vinko Grgic www.arribaa.com On Feb 1, 7:25 am, Michael Giles <m...@roboinvest.com> wrote: > G'day Silicon Beachers, > > Some here will know me, most probably wont. > > I wanted to tell the community that my startup Roboinvest (http:// > roboinvest.com) has officially launched.
