Abstract
A method for managing investment information operates on a computer system. The process enables members to gather, share, and use investment information in an automated environment. In particular, members provide target projections for the future value of an investment. The process also provides for rating members, and uses these ratings to facilitate analyzing and presenting the target projections provided by the members. The target projections from a member are also compared to actual values achieved by the investment, and that member's rating may be adjusted responsive to the comparison.
