When it comes to money, most people turn to family and friends (or Lifehacker) for advice. The folks at Macquarie have recognised this and have included a social networking aspect—hello Twitterati!—to its new online trading platform, Macquarie Edge.

If you’re an investor who trades online, you are the majority. According to the ASX, 56% of Australians who bought shares in the last two years, did so through the internet—and this number is rising. Now, with Macquarie’s new online trading platform, investors can have what they’ve always wanted: a personalised, comprehensive solution.
