Tired of depending on biased sell-side reports for potential investments? Given
up on sifting through the trash on other message boards in the hopes of finding
that valuable piece of information? Want to be rewarded for sharing and
learning with others?
These questions defined my feelings before I found StockArena. This site gives
members a true investment forum, and provides incentives for all to bring their
most valuable information to the table. If you have been
searching for a means to find new investment ideas, develop your own investing
skills, and interact with other talented investors, StockArena is your answer.

I know what you're thinking: "Pay for full access to a stock message board?
When there are so many other free boards? No way." These were my thoughts
exactly before joining StockArena. Except StockArena is unlike any other
message board I have ever been on. It's better. StockArena has
posters who can analyze a company as well as any professional analyst.
Posters who can model a company's earnings as well as any
professional. Posters who scour the internet for as much information about a
company as possible and provide that information, with links. Posters who work
within the sectors of the stocks they follow and can provide detailed analysis.
Posters who are TA experts and can provide good entry and exit price targets.
Posters who are proactive in seeking answers from the company by frequently
e-mailing or calling a company's Investment Relations department, or a member
of management. Posters who attend Shareholder Meetings, investment conferences,
and industry conventions. Posters who collect all of this information and then
share it with the StockArena community. The quality and quantity
of the messages and posters on StockArena is unparalleled among other internet
message boards. The price you pay for a subscription to
StockArena should not be viewed as a fee, but as an investment.

StockArena is a great place for investors interested in contemplative and
insightful analysis of some of today’s hottest companies. There are many other
sites on the web, but StockArena stands out because of dedicated participants
who post intelligent analysis of stocks, and the site provides
an environment where bulls and bears are encouraged to provide thoughtful
opinions on the pro’s and con’s of why a given stock should/shouldn’t be viewed
as an investment opportunity. If an investor is seeking
a place to grow and learn, or if someone simply enjoys pensive observations on
stock, this is the place to be! ”

To be honest, I came in to stock arena with low expectations; after all we are
talking about a message board we have to pay for right? So i decided to preview
the website to give it a chance. However, those first 100 characters don't tell
me much, so I decided to try the 6-month free trial. Now my opinion has totally
changed. First of all we all spend time with our posts, thoughts, and opinions.
Time we could spend with family, friends, and neighbors, so why shouldn't we be
rewarded for them? That's exactly what stock arena does; it rewards you for
your efforts and gives you a return in exchange for your gift of time.
I for one, will find it very difficult to post on another message board again,
as the caliber of people, quality of the messages, accountability, are
unrivaled anywhere else. The monetary reward is just
the icing on the cake. ”

StockArena has been a unique experience for me. I have visited and
participated in numerous message boards and investment forums. This one
incorporates the best of both worlds. The key is that it is a professional and
responsible exchange of investment information about the economy in
general, as well as specific investment opportunities.
Having access to a system that tells you how active and respected certain
members are, you can begin to develop a team of fellow investors that
you can build a professional investment relationship with, through the
sharing of insights and strategies.
StockArena also incorporates a new and novel method of rewarding participants
for sharing quality information with other members of the community.
Another rarity among investment websites.
If your usual experiences with stock or investment forums
have been similar to those of Raging Bull or Yahoo, be prepared to be
pleasantly surprised that there is so much more to offer here at StockArena.
StockArena is not just for serious investors looking for stimulating
discussions about particular stocks, but also those looking for solid
economic research and opinions about issues that affect our economy and our
daily financial well-being. ”

Usually it takes me weeks to research a new
investment opportunity, find actual information, dig through hundred useless
messages on financial boards and investment communities. Not anymore, on
StockArena every message carry valuable insights, updated links and even
information "from the kitchen" hard or impossible to find. StockArena is the
only place I know where investors care what you think. The weekly prizes
rewarding the quality content in the community are pleasant surprise on "the
top of the cake". There is no way for me to go back to other
financial boards. ”

Being new to StockArena, I wasn't quite sure
what to expect. However, the meaningful, insightful and straight up
opinions offer the best quality information I have ever seen for
a message board and you can win money to boot! If
you're tired of hitting your "ignore" button, weeding though the nonsense and
just want the "good stuff", then Stockarena is definitely for you. Nothing but
Class "A" individuals from what I've read so far and I'm looking
forward to being a Stockarena member for a long time. I feel fortunate to be a
part of this board and looking more forward to making far better and sound
investment decisions thanks to all the members who contribute.

StockArena is an invaluable resource. You get great financial news and strong
opinions with a personal touch. The members are very knowledgeable and equally
friendly. There is nothing like it out there and I imagine, in
the future, it will be a leading model of a quality and information rich
message board. ”

Anyone who has ever visited the various
investment message boards with the hope of finding useful and timely investment
information has no doubt been disheartened by what they've found there.
Drive-by bashers, pump-and-dump cheerleaders, ex-employee grudge-holders, and a
sea of uninformed group-think crowd out the scant few truly informed posters.
For the aspiring personal investor willing to do their own research, the public
forums offer a very bleak choice indeed for information sharing. Either endure
the overwhelming quantity of poor quality public message postings or give up a
substantial percentage of their investment to the so-called professionals whose
trust has been tarnished recently by allegations of hidden agendas and
corporate conflict of interest.
Most aspiring investors don't mind paying for information sharing so long as
there is a reasonable expectation of receiving it. With the cost of full
service information sharing way too high and the quality of free public forum
message boards way too low, what choice is left for the aspiring personal
investor? Starting now, there is a new choice, StockArena.com. Gone are the
drive-by posters and personal bomb throwers with their hidden or misleading
investment agendas. StockArena is not a passively monitored message sharing
entity, but one whose posters are challenged to provide the highest quality
investment opinion. Message authors are assigned quality and trust ratings
which give the aspiring investor more than just a recommendation count pumped
up by multiple aliases. The site also supports private member-to-member
messaging as well as easy to find links to external research sites and support.
Plus, it's easy to navigate, professionally organized, yet very simple to use.
The low subscription fee strikes the right balance between the current investor
extremes. If you've been looking for that 'sweet spot' between
the high cost of full-service and the poor quality of free message boards, you
find that StockArena is the place to be.

I have found over the years that
the sharing of ideas with other active investors is truly one of the best
ways to find unique and profitable investment opportunities, especially via
investment forums such as stockarena. After all, if each of us approached
investing like the "professionals" and took the pro's advice, theoretically we
would all have nothing more than average returns. I am a firm believer
that success in investing mainly comes through buying names when they are
either out of favor, or before "Wall Street" finds them. Think outside
the box, so to speak. But who has time to dig through the detail on
thousands and thousands of the public companies that might hold promising
investment value? Enter stockarena. This site
combines everything that is needed to share ideas among successful stock
pickers and investment gurus: a trust level, a
track record, convenient search functions and personal preferences, and maybe
most importantly an incentive for quality. There's a reason certain
investors regularly outperform market indices by wide margins, and I believe
stockarena.com is built to determine the 'why.' ”

If you're discouraged by all
those other incoherent message boards, then stockarena.com should be your

I have never found a site that
is easier to use to research and learn from qualified investors (and to be able
to determine the quality of the poster) than stockarena.com.
I used to be an avid stock message board reader because I feel there is a lot
of potential value to me as an investor but I had given up on finding reliable
information in the stock forums. However, I believe stockarena.com is
technologically more than able to meet my needs as a central shop for
researching stocks and reading message boards and the fact that they have made
such an extended effort to qualify the reliability and trustworthiness of other
posters distinguishes them from everyone else. ”

Stockarena.com has come along with an idea to
make other stock message boards obsolete. On the other boards the person with
the most posts gets the most credit. You have to be careful or you'll end up
making all your decisions based on those looking to pump stocks up and then
jump ship. Stockarena.com has now changed the message board
landscape forever. ”

Any investor knows that the key to making a

Stockarena.com takes care of the information part. It offers a place where
insightful investors can interact and voice their opinions. Stockarena.com has
a great interface, it’s easy to navigate and it makes researching such a
convenience. Also, it has a great method of grading posters which enables
investors to identify who’s credible and who’s not. The
masterminds behind this arena has truly stepped up, exemplifying the ideal
stock forum. Just quality information from one investor
to another, minus the fuss. ”
