We made the app after having friends and family members get ripped off by financial advisors. The purpose of the app is to teach others about low fee index fund investing. Thanks!

looks like something I'd enjoy. Looking for android version.

> to teach others about low fee index fund investing.

I would love to use it or learn about index fund investing but there is no web-app or android app :(.

I like the idea.... why should I trust you for financial advice? How are you licensed? How do I know you're not using my data for trading, How do I know you're not feeding me false data you've already traded on?

Good question. We don't give financial advice. The app allows you to make a simple index fund portfolio with stock data, then monitor other user portfolios if you want. You can discuss indexing with other index fund investors in the "discuss" area.

Our other account got rate limited and says "you are submitting too fast" so we made this one.

I will check it out. I have been reading Tony Robbins - 'Master The Game' which talks about index funds as a better alternative to high fee managed funds. This sounds like it could be a good source of info for picking them

Thanks! We're trying to get feedback and advice. If you run into any issues please let us know.

We have a discussion area and a leaderboard, plus you can build a simple index fund portfolio and track it inside the app. I hope this helps explain, thanks!

Why an app rather than a website? I don't want to read on something that small.
