The name says it all...it's a wiki on "investing...simplified." The site creators wanted a resource that went beyond numbers to the story and ideas behind them, to create context for investors. So, you can search by concepts, not just stock exchange symbols, to find companies of potential interest. The wiki format allows for anyone to contribute their knowledge and opinions...about 100,000 contributions have been made so far by almost 600 individuals. It's easy to see which articles are most popular or most recently edited, and to trace the input of contributors, who may rate companies and concepts as neutral, bearish, or bullish. Isn't it more interesting to have this type of "conversation" than to read a stock chart?
