| Request for finance forum
I would like to request a finance forum. Currently finance is discussed in pub forum, but we would likely get much more discussion going on finance topics if we have dedicated finance forum. -- i am not a lawyer but I do play one on the internet |

| reply to RangerTX I don't feel there is enough interest in such a specialized forum. Sure we have electronics, weather, automotive, and sports forums, but I don't think a separate finance forum is needed right now. The Pub can handle it.
And in any case, the number of finance-related threads in the Pub are few and far between.

There are already WAY too many forums that have absolutely nothing in any way to do with broadband or related technologies as it is. |

As a young adult just getting ready to enter the world of home ownership, I can definitely see the need for this.
dslreports has become about much more than just DSL! I think the forum would be fitting and welcome.
Those who don't like it, simply wouldn't have to visit it. -- for all your Linux questions |

Good grief people!!! Why in the world would you object to the creation of a forum that you know you would never visit.
What am I supposed to do in response... object to every forum that I myself never visits? I have no objection to ANY forum that I don't plan on visiting.
I for one would like a Financial forum so that I can contribute to the discussion of Dave Ramsey's talk show.
If an opposing vote negates the request then how is it possible that there is a Blue Room and a Red Room? Just create the forum and be done with it.

if the forum was macro economics, that would be a good idea, but it must prevent specific stock ideas. people who want to discuss specific stocks should go to yahoo or others. mutual fund discussion would be OK, since they deal with a basket of stocks that reflect a macro economic opinion. discussions of finance related issues such as Taxes and Tort Laws would be OK, but not any specific private entity that deals with them in public. It would be OK to discuss a market sector, but not a specific stock play, so you could talk about Hard Drive makers, but not endorse buying that Oceangate stock. It should be OK to link people to other independent articles endorsing specific service providers or stocks, as long as the hosting sight is clearly impartial. discussions of markets and commodities would be OK, but not the instruments used to trade them, so you'd have to have a pretty vigilant forum admin.
I graciously volunteer to help develop and refine guidelines and admin this  I've been posting on finance forums for over a dozen years. |
