I'm not sure I understand the value of having so many boards devoted to individual stocks.


Until the community is very large, traffic will be low to non-existant
on most, valuable posts will be spread very, very thin and anything of
meaning will be difficult to find.  A single board for Stocks with
examples of how to form a topic about a stock: Home Depot (HD), makes more sense to me.


Also, you're going to allow free accounts for a period of time. 
Policing those boards if someone decides to start spamming them with ads isn't going to be fun.


What about cross-over topics?  HDvsLowes ... do you put them in HD
or Lowes?  If someone is studying Lowes and the discussion is actually on the HD board ...


What about a topic that wants to talk about an Industry?  You have
Clubhouse, Classroom and Toolshed, none of which really say "talk about
investing in general here."  Pick a company in that industry and put it in that Forum?


I'm not trying to be difficult. :)  I'm just worried that folks
will see 2000 boards with 1 or 2 posts and walk away.  Instead you
could have 1 board with dozens of valuable posts right out of the gate and expand into more boards as needed.

Enough of my .02 this morning ...

Unfortunately, there's no single right answer to the Forum Organization question. We've gone with a straight alphabetical listing initially, because it lends itself to the ticker-based discussion we in particular want to foster.

Grouping by sector is certainly a possibility, with the tickers listed alphabetically therein.

As currently organized, an industry discussion could certainly take place in The Classroom forum.
