Thoughtful investors & traders (not day traders) sharing analysis/news, looking for reasonably priced stocks and ETFs w/sound or promising fundamentals. Primary focus: fundamentals, financials, news.

We're a community bulletin board on stocks/sectors members follow. "They know enough who know how to learn." (Henry Adams) "Men go mad in herds but come to their senses one by one." (Chas. MacKay)

** NO STOCKS UNDER $3.00, EXCEPT those that have been over $10 in the last six months. NO POLITICS; NO SPAM.

1. Purpose: share ideas; then do our own individual due diligence. DO NOT SPREAD RUMORS; stick to facts, analysis, public info.

2. Total courtesy a must. ABSOLUTELY NO NEGATIVE COMMENT ABOUT ANOTHER MEMBER. Criticize a stock; dissent from other views. Conflicting opinions valuable. "To think is to differ." (Clarence Darrow) "When everybody thinks alike, everyone is likely to be wrong." (Humphrey Neill) Disagree without being disagreeable. Offensive posts bring INSTANT REMOVAL.

3. Stick to COMPANIES (or ETFs that trade like stocks) and sectors or economic info. ABSOLUTELY NO INSIDER OR CONFIDENTIAL INFO.

4. We're not market forecasters: "Those who predict the markets only make fortune tellers look good." Forecasters make sheep look like independent thinkers.

5. Ticker SYMBOL in subject line useful. Disclose if long or short.

6. "What we learn from history is that we do not learn from history."
