Social media websites such as Twitter and Facebook have changed the landscape for business in general over the course of the last couple of years. Business and private entities can meet in these pages to share information in many different ways. The Colombo Stock Exchange is no exception. There is a fan page entitles Stock Market Today on Facebook that follows the progress and changes in the Colombo Stock Exchange in Sri Lanka.

The Reason for Stock Market Today to go for a Facebook fan page

For Sri Lanka, the concept of an investment community forum is a new thing. With the booming Sri Lankan economy, the Colombo Stock Exchange will reach new milestones in coming years. For this reason, Stock Market Today chose to use the power of social media, especially Facebook, to get their message out to those who would be interested in investing in Sri Lankan stocks.

Facebook provides an open forum where the writers of Stock Market Today and other experienced users can post technical information and analyses of data from the Colombo Stock Exchange. Investors can then read this information and put it to use when they are making their own investment decisions. The page is also open so that investors can ask questions and get responses from both Stock Market Today and other investors about particular companies, stocks, or groups of stocks.

The Power and Advantages of Facebook as a Community

The way the facebook page works is that users post technical analysis and facts concerning the movements of the market in general and/or individual stocks and groups of stocks. Investors can read this information and make use of it.

In addition, they can ask questions about different stocks and get feedback from both the page owner and other investors who are following this page. It is an open and public forum where complete strangers can meet and discuss their investment strategies, goals, and plans.

Those who follow the conversations can gain insight into which stocks are likely to shift in which direction over the short term. They can also use the data provided by Stock Market Today to verify the validity of entries posted by other investors and determine if they wish to follow suit or go in another direction. Long term trends can also be seen and investment strategies created to take advantage of such movements.

As they become more skilled in trading and investing, they will begin to contribute more to the conversations, themselves, and assist others in making their investment choices.
