Method and System to Facilitate a User to User Subscription Based Online Marketplace for Real-Time Investment Data

摘要

An online marketplace for real-time investment data is disclosed. The system comprises a network, such as the Internet, wherein users may manage, and publish a Virtual Securities Portfolio (“VSP”) and to sell/license access to the VSP to other users who pay to see the VSP. VSPs are analyzed, ranked and charted according to various customizable methods and made available, via a user interface, to other users according to the users' sell/license agreements. The system further allows the users to access their investment accounts on other networks, such as the TD-Ameritrade and Charles Schwab networks, and couple their VSPs with such accounts.
