Ticker Spy Lets You Peek on the Holdings of Big Investors

Thursday July 17, 2008
There is a new investment service called Ticker Spy that allows you to see the investment holdings of great investors that are required to disclose their holdings to the Securities and Exchange Commission. It doesn't matter if they run a mutual fund, hedge fund, private equity group, publicly traded corporation, private investment vehicle, or financial institution, if they hit certain eligibility criteria, they must file the paperwork with the government. The Ticker Spy service gets that data and puts it into a format that you can understand and search through in a few seconds.

The service is currently in Beta at the time of this writing, so there are possibly some glitches, but it looks like it would be worth keeping an eye on as a tool that could very well revolutionize money management for the small investor sitting in their home.
