George,s words of 2009, one of the owners of Agoracom.

CONCLUSION

This is Wiki meets IGC (investor generated content), meets reputation based systems at their finest. There are bigger communities to be sure – but can you find another vertical in which the need for a drastically more efficient model is needed more? As I’ve stated since October 2007, Trillions of dollars are at stake. People’s futures are at stake. The implications of inefficient or imperfect information are severe. We now know it to be true.

Electronic shareholder forums are vital to the lives of so many people. With the advent of top-notch financial bloggers such as Kedrosky and Ritholtz, as well as, stock micro-blogs, we are about to witness another paradigm shift in the way investors communicate and make decisions – and we’ll be a part of that too. Stay tuned for more.

Regards,
George
