netnet Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Parsad, Have you given any thought to setting up a separate category for Special Situation? Obviously, it's an investment idea but a separate category might get more use and postings. It would be easier to sort through for spinoffs and merger ideas as well. thanks, Netnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hi Net-net, The problem is then you start to get too much clutter with different boards. Special situations don't come around that often, so the board would be sparingly used. You also can't track a specific stock and keep a historical record for that stock like we do in the "Investment Ideas" section...whether it is a long-term investment or shorter-term special situation. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olmsted Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 We could start putting the equivalent of hashtags at the end of the first post (and only the first post) of a new idea. For example: #spinoff #specialsituation #rightsoffering That way we could do a quick board search and get a list of situations. I'll do this in the next thread I start, maybe it will reach critical mass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I think just adding (spinoff) or (special situation) in parenthesis at the end of the subject line on the existing board should make things pretty clear and user friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsad Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Can we have a Careers sections to post jobs?.... :) Yeah, I wouldn't mind that. As long as it is used. I don't want one job post in there over two years! ;D Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
