Have you used tickerspy Alerts yet? The Alerts section can be used as a hub to keep track of all the action going on surrounding your stocks on tickerspy and in the market. You can also use Alerts to keep tabs on the members and Pros that you are tracking.

I use Alerts to see, at a glance, which of the stocks I’m tracking are moving, and I also use Alerts to keep an eye on which stocks some of my favorite members to track are moving in and out of.

What do you use Alerts for? What would you like to see us add to Alerts? Let us know in the comments of this post.

To kick off the tickerspy blog, we thought it would be interesting to highlight some of the more popular and active members on tickerspy. These are folks who gained a small following over the last few months and whose activity seems to warrant interest from more members.

If you are interested in tracking any of these members, click on their usernames (linked below) and click on the “track member” link on their profile. From that point on, you’ll see their activity on your Alerts page. (Not using Alerts yet? Stay tuned, we’ll be highlighting that section here on the blog soon.)

• Pozhil has created a few dozen portfolios covering hot market sectors ranging from Dry bulk shippers to Online gaming. Pohzil has also created a portfolio that approximates the performance of a very popular mutual fund, legendary investor Ken Heebner’s CGM Focus Fund. We also track CGM’s holdings on the firm’s Pro page, but ours are limited to the firm’s top-15 holdings across all of its funds. However, we do offer additional info that inludes the size of each position and its change from the prior quarter. Start tracking Pozhil here.

• lobo565 moves stocks actively in and out of his tickerspy portfolio and he’s always got an in interesting comment or two on each stock. Among the stocks that catch lobo565’s eye are Chinese names like HMIN and CHL. Start tracking lobo565 here.

• rmedaugh has put together several interesting portfolios – including ones devoted to Brazil and Agriculture, and he’s also begun to attract a following among tickerspy members (possibly because of the recent stellar performance of his coal portfolio). What sector will rmedaugh start tracking next? Start tracking rmedaugh here.

• TaxThePoor is an intriguing tickerspy member. Aside from his curious username, his portfolio “Ruin” has done quite well – check the six month graph – but right now it’s empty. Now all in “cash,” which stocks will TaxThePoor get into next? Start tracking TaxThePoor here.

We’ll be highlighting more tickerspy members in the future, so be sure to check back.
