Sharechat is a New Zealand website dedicated to Australasian sharemarket investment themes.

The home page has a scrolldown format which makes its content easily discovered and accessed. A wide range of services is offered.

A strong feature is the collection of links to many journals, newspapers and web-based investment news services. The National Business Review and Unlimited are on the list.

Fans of the Economist will find a link to the magazine's website from which to get a foretaste of the coming week's articles.

There are various services available unique to Sharechat. The site is democratic in providing bulletin boards for users to comment and seek information through.

The forum and message board facilities are helpful for those looking for advice on out-of-the-way subjects such as how to get a sharebroker in Singapore.

News services are provided on the news and company wire pages. An emailed news alert is available.

For those with a need for education there is a section which provides instruction on the whys and wherefores of the markets, including an emailed question option with answers sourced from a sharebroker.

There is an informative piece on the New Zealand Stock Exchange's three trading boards.

Quotes are provided for ASX and NZSE listings and chartists might wish to avail themselves of the trading data subscription service.

The data is compatible with the popular charting programme Metastock.

All up, Sharechat is a compendious web-based service suited to those who follow the local and Australian sharemarkets. It would be helpful to traders and investors alike in keeping track of the fortunes of their investments.
