Any interest in a finance forum?

I've seen a lot of threads lately like these 1 2 3 4 5 etc. and I was wondering if there's any interest in a finance forum about money, business and investing.

Seems they're all in the Pub, but I think a subforum in the Pub may be appropriate.

This seems like a pretty good idea but on the other hand discussions regarding finance fit perfectly well in The Pub. It doesn't really matter either way.

Also, I'd like to have a separate birdwatchers' forum. Or a gaming forum for that matter.

I predict a forum that no one will read, and as a result no one will post in it.

The Politics forum would be a good place to have a Finance sub-forum.

if you do it in the pub you will get threads like:
"Duhhhh how do i make money quick duuhhhhhh "
it would be better under politics

i can see it already... "how i like make money?"
so i agree with the above posters who say it would be a suitable sub forum in political discussion.

I don't see why it should be a subforum of the Pub.

well I wasn't referring to myself, though I enjoy reading those types of threads
but your correction doesn't seem to include a predicate, so how bout we call it a wash?
edit: yes it does, I lose

I think it's a good idea. Lots of people on here ask questions about how to build credit, manage credit, fix credit....and I like giving advice on that sort of stuff, because it's important to know. I think a lot of people would benefit from it.

I'd be interested in a finance forum for sure. Especially regarding stock market action / strategies, trading, and general economic and finance related topics.

I would love and Investment and Finance forum, but we would need a really expert mod. Or someone might post junki like the "Baseball Card Collecting Tek" or "Pokemon Auction" or "Mint Condition coke bottle numismatic ivestment"
dessert storm trading cards anyone?

I can see the thread titles now...
"Help! I'm in debt. Tips?"
"Someone send me money!"
"Should I buy an ounce of headies or a quap of nugget?"
"Help me save money!"
"I need to start saving money."
"I'm broke, tips?"
I just don't foresee a lot of varying threads on money.

i enjoyed talking with capitalistic nomad about his head shop buisness. i also enjoyed discussion on the logistics of the subject. Its a little more engaging than the average pub post that consists of "how do your balls smell right now??"
i think that a movement towards raising the average IQ of a group of people is important in any community, even the shroomery. Raising awareness of financial issues and pitching buisness ideas could be fun for alot of us here. I'd say the demographic is evenly split between laquerhead retards with their fingers in their butt and the rest of us.
do it for a month and see how people respond.

i think that one of the things that almost every member has found out through their own expierence (often with drugs) is that it almost never hurts to try 
as for wiccians gold threads, if any of us had listened 2 years ago, we would have more than doubled our investment.
and moon glue, thanks for the input on the head shop, hookah lounge, its getting closer and closer to reality these days!
and obviously as a self proclaimed capitalist, i would love to see this forum opened up. There is alot of knowledge lurking around these boards, and alot of it just waiting to be shared.
peace and love Nomad.
