Investing Forum

i second this idea

I bought some Visa shares yesterday at 59-a-piece. I have also been an investor in MA since they went public. I think both companies are poised for good long-term growth. And the fact that they are not exposed to credit risk makes them even more attractive given the current market scenario.

Good call on the MA, you must have made a grip of cash. However I'm not sure if the fundamentals support 60 a share for V - I think they have a huge amount of future litigation liability, which was part of the reason they chose to go public. Anyone else want to chime in on this?

great idea

Agreed - there is a lot of untapped knowledge on this board on this topic (and I don't mean of the insider nature).

Litigation issues are definitely troublesome for both Visa and Mastercard. Wouldn't be surprised to see the stock price reflect that in the future either.

So a new forum that just deals with Investing? Don't you guys think this could fall under the Traiders Train Forum? or would it be a Site Specific category (not industry)?

Thanks for the suggestion. Any thoughts on the name and tag line?

Thanks,
Patrick

More people would be interested in it if were accessible from this forum. Would there be a way to access it from the right side of this forum page?

It could be under industry specific or related topics, I think either would work great.

For the title - how about Investors Intuition?

As always, thank you Patrick for your dedication to the site.

EDIT - realized that intuition was not spelled correctly.

Investors Inn?

WSO, I think the traders train would deal more with people who are or want to become traders that have questions about how to perform their jobs, or to share tips and tricks about the sales & trading industry.

I see the new Investor's forum being used for company analysis, thoughts on how Fed actions will affect the market, etc.

I have been convinced. Invest away

Ok, I changed the "News - Read All About it!" Forum to "Investment Inn"

A few reasons I did this

1. The news forum rarely gets used
2. We already have a separate Newswire section in the navigation bar
3. Drupal was not letting me create a new Forums so this was the easiest way to get it up now
4. If there is a worthy piece of news, it should fall under any of the Industry Specific forums anyways

...so I hope you don't mind the Investment Inn taking over the News Forum. I figure the activity in this forum could be pretty good since trading strategies and discussions on exotic derivatives can be interesting.

Sounds great. I'm sure no one minds at all. A great addition and improvement to the site.
