Ask HN: Is there an HN for finance?

7 points by shon 12y ago ↗ HN

Anyone know a good community site for financial news (stocks, ETFs, Mutuals etc)? Years ago I used a site called clearstation and it was a good little community focused on investing in the open markets. Then it was bought by Etrade and turned to shit. Is there a good community out there?

Go ahead and make one! Grab the HN clone source code in Arc (google it), and run it on a free EC2 instance.

As far as Q&A forums, looks like the SE isn't going to make it

Without a doubt, SA is the go to resource

Though it is not exactly the same, it is a closer substitute than you might imagine; http://Counterparties.com.

Thanks for the feedback all. Checked them out, looks like seeking alpha is close to what I want.

The finance subreddit is probably as close as you'll get. There are some rather intelligent people that post there, however there is not much traffic.
