The Score was created to offer StockNetwork users a very general idea of how people "out there" feel about a certain company and its performance, value, management decisions etc. Made up out of 100 points, the StockNetwork Score is intended to serve as a reflection of public opinion regarding a certain security by allowing a user to rate individual news releases from the past two years by all Companies listed on every North American stock exchange. These individual ratings make up a Score which is displayed on every Company profile.

By using a ratio of several key factors in assessing a Company - the most weighted aspect of the ratio being the percentage of users who recommend the Company and the number of unique visitors to a Company profile - the cumulative score will constantly change given the public's reaction to news and stock performance. A company's StockNetwork Score will initially be quite low given that the site has recently launched (January 2010). As users begin to rate and recommend various companies the Score will change and theoretically rise with positive feedback. If a user ceases to recommend a company this will be reflected in the Score.

By no means should the StockNetwork Score be used as a sole factor in determining the merits of any particular investment. StockNetwork  strongly urges all users to consult a professional investment adviser prior to making any investment decisions.
