Traders Train vs. Personal Investing

Where can monkeys talk about personal investing? I feel like it overlaps with the Traders Train forum but should be on its own...

I recently (since 11/2009) have been putting a lot of money into the market and i'd love for a place to talk with other amateur investors about ideas, tips, strategy, etc.

...a place to brag about big wins, complain big losses. My only concern for the monkeys and the WSO site would be if it raises concern with SEC for some reason if it seems like a bunch of bankers/research guys are giving stock tips.

Traders Train is great for kids on the S&T path, but an M&A guy with an investing "hobby" on the side, it would be cool to have a unique area.

What do other users think?

Keep up the great work, Patrick

if patrick were to create a new forum for this purpose, my only request would be that every time someone with more than 20 points is asked a question, he must respond with "not now chief i'm in the fuckin zone."
