Stock Message Boards (2024)

Imagine walking into a secluded room where some of the smartest, most successful investors in America are gathered — self-directed investors and hedge fund managers alike — to share investing ideas.

In this private setting — completely off limits to the general public — members of this exclusive group are able to share honest opinions and unfiltered insights on stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, Forex and more. There's also a healthy amount of respectful debate as they bandy ideas about. And in the end, everyone is the richer for it.

That kind of exchange is exactly what happens everyday on ValueForum.com, the Internet's premier investing community.

Membership in this private online community is strictly limited — just 1500 investors will be admitted — but today you are in line to be one of them.

Before I tell you about all the member benefits waiting for you, I want to make one thing clear: ValueForum.com is nothing like the big free public investment boards out there.

We started ValueForum.com so that serious investors could get away from the noise, the shills and the shouting that plague public stock message boards.

That's why our community is founded on a few simple rules that keep the quality of our content and our members very high...

Privacy is paramount and confidentiality strictly enforced. Members are forbidden from sharing or reposting any ValueForum.com content; violators forfeit membership.

Multiple aliases are not permitted (behind every screen name is a member profile so you can get to know your fellow members — and many have become lifelong friends).

No unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or product selling is allowed.

Robust debates are encouraged, but respect and common courtesy are expected with fighting and name-calling disallowed.

Violators forfeit membership.

And it works. As one of our long-time members explains:

"ValueForum gives you the chance to learn from people who aren't trying to sell you anything, just willing to give away their sincere thoughts. I have made a lot of money from information on VF."

So whether you are looking for new stock ideas or new ways to boost your investment income with REITs, BDCs, high-yield bonds, closed-end funds, you'll be thrilled at the constant flow of reliable ideas and analysis.

As another of our members going by the handle of "oldart" will tell you...

"No friend, no book, no broker, no advisor, no expert has ever provided a tenth what I am able to find here. The best money I have EVER spent is for membership."

And longtime member "dig4value" says...

"Twelve years with ValueForum. I have been retired now for about 1 year. My two girls are both inexpensive private colleges, one is an engineering major and one is graduating this year and will begoing on to Med-school. I am not worried about how I will afford this. The affect of VF on myretirement is nothing short of astounding. This year I have made more money with my investments in thelast 6 months than two years of my old salary as a very high paid microchip engineer. I don't worryabout money, and I simply enjoy the process of investment and discussions with my good friends on VF,what I like to call my VF family. I have been with these folks on VF for over a dozen years, throughthick and thin; through the highs of 2006 and the melt down of 2008 and back to the highs of 2014, allof it. I can honestly tell you it has been the best thing I could have found for investing. PERIOD. Ithas also been a great place to meet wonderful caring, sharing people. I look back and have calculatedthat my average compound rate of return or CAGR over the dozen years is about 24%. Do the math you willsee that it means that I have about 13 times what I started with, all this while providing for myfamily etc. When people ask me what they should do with $2000 to start investing, I alwaystell them "spend the first $300 on a year's subscription to ValueForum." It is the BEST advice I cangive them. You can give a man a fish, or you can teach him to fish. With a ValueForum membership andsome diligent time spent studying they will turn that $1700 into many many thousands. I am convincedof it. New members please treat VF as the jewel it is. Always post with respect for the other members.NEVER use harsh language or words. If someone wrongs you, turn the other cheek. It is just notworth it. VF is much too valuable to tarnish or damage. Thanks for Joining ValueForum, youwill never regret it if you follow those rules above. VF is simply the BEST investment forum on theplanet and you have found it. Congratulations, and thank who ever told you about it."
